A LUNA ON CONTRACT Chapter 21
SCARLETTMy head snapped toward Anna instantly. “Find the children. I’ll contact Callum,” I said, patting my back pocket for my phone. My heart sank as I realized I’d left it in the car and didn’t bring it with me. “How? Let’s find them together, Scarlett!” she said hurriedly, grabbing my hand. We both ran up the staircase, but we froze in our tracks at the sound of the heavy boot thuds coming from above us. Our heads whipped back in unison, panic seizing us as the footsteps behind us grew louder. “Run!” I hissed, swiftly maneuvering my hands to hold hers tightly and we darted into a passage to the left. Breathing heavily, we hurried down the narrow hallway. “I can hear the pups’ heartbeats,” I said, glancing at Anna. She shook her head, her voice trembling. “How about we get out of here first and come back for them, more armed?”“There’s no time for that! We’re getting them out now,” I insisted, focusing on the faint sound of the pups’ rapid heartbeats. The pursuers wer

SCARLETT We didn’t move—we just sat there, frozen. They slowly drew their guns, pointing them directly at us. “You have five seconds to step out of that car, with your hands over your head!” he growled again, his voice sharp and commanding. We were outnumbered, but I wasn’t going to give up that easily. I reached for the master lock of the car and clicked it shut. I turned back to look at the children and they had all sank to a squat in the back seat. “Trust me.” I whispered turning to Anna. I felt like a hypocrite asking her to trust me when I didn’t even know what our fate would be and I was just as scared as she was, if not more. I just knew that I’ve come face to face with death so many times, but I definitely won’t die like this. It’s quite obvious to me that my end isn’t anytime soon. “One! Two! Three! Four!…” At the count of five, we all bent our heads down, shielding ourselves with our arms. The deafening sound of gunfire erupted, shattering the tense silence. Afte

CALLUMMy eyes slowly went shut and I hissed angrily. I raised my hands to my face and angrily wiped his spit off rubbing it on his shirt. “You bastard!” I growled angrily and dealt him a huge punch right in the middle of his face. His lips bursted out with blood, he scoffed with a twisted smile and slowly met my gaze. “You’ll really have to kill me huh, once you kill me split my skull open and find the information you’re looking for!” He said and suddenly bursted out in a wild cackle finding himself funny.I let go of his cloth immediately and pushed him off me as I slowly got up to my feet. I turned to look at a warrior behind me. “Torture him. But make sure he doesn’t loose his life!” I muttered, I passed him one last glare which he returned with a wide smirk before I turned and stormed away. ***** I exhaled deeply as I pushed the door to Scarlett’s room open and stepped inside. Three days ago it felt like I would die alongside her if anything were to happen it her. I’ve lost

SCARLETTI sighed deeply, my gaze drifting away from Callum and Kian. My eyes roamed the crowd, searching for Annabeth, but she was nowhere to be seen. I let out another sigh, I was starting to get bored. Sitting up here, away from the fun, was starting to wear me down. I wasn’t used to just watching—it made me restless. Deep down, I wanted to be out there, joining in the fun and dancing. “Drinks, Luna,” a waiter announced, his voice barely audible above the thundering music. I looked up at him. He was dressed like the other waitstaff—a chef’s cap on his head, a white mask covering his face, a crisp apron tied around his waist, and a pair of white gloves. He lowered the tray, and I offered him a small smile as I took a glass of wine. “Thank you,” I whispered. He gave me a brief nod before turning away. I watched him for a moment before raising the glass to my lips. “Luna Scarlett!” a small voice called suddenly and very close to me, I hadn’t even realize she was standing ther

SCARLETTAt home.“Are you sure you’re okay? You don’t need to go back to the hospital?” Callum asked me as he walked into my room. I was seated in front of my vanity mirror as I packed my hair up in a messy bun and wore a bonnet over it. I shook my head slowly looking at him through the mirror and I gently turned to look at him. “Callum, I think you’re his target, not me” I said to him, he dropped to sit on my bed and gently turned my chair to face him, pulling me closer to him.“What are you talking about?” He asked, I exhaled deeply and began to speak. “He keeps saying he wants to return things back to what they’re supposed to be, I asked him what was normal and he said I couldn’t give it to him unless I died, that I was ruining his plans,”“He also said that you can’t mate me because it’d make things more difficult for him,”“It’s obvious that he has set his plan in motion way before I came here, so how could I be this target. His attacks are strategic, kidnapping pups? You kno

SCARLETTNext day. 10:00am.“I’m so sorry Ma’am Helen. I’ll look through the applications and get back to you very soon,” I said to the headmistress over the phone. “No no, it’s no problem. I understand you’ve been quite occupied. Please take your time and take care of yourself too” She said, my grip around the phone tightened and I smiled lightly. “Ofcourse, I will” I responded and with that I moved the phone away from my ear. “Luna, would you like to have your breakfast now?” I heard Hilda — the head chef ask me. I turned to her and shook my head slowly. “Not yet,” I whispered.“Luna, you just got back from the hospital, you need to eat,” she said, I flashed her a small smile and nodded in resignation. “Okay fine, but just a little” I said to her and she nodded firmly with a smile. “So What did you prepare this morning” I asked as I followed her to the dinning table. I paused immediately we got there and I saw Callum sitting there. Ofcourse, why would Hilda insist on me eating

SCARLETT Later that day. 4:00pm “First rule in fighting is to keep your guards up” Callum said firmly, standing behind me, his hot breath fanning my neck as he helped me position my hands.He slowly let go of me and came to stand in front of me raising his hands into position, his elbows tucked and his fists near his face. “Like this,” he muttered.“Protect your head and keep your stance solid. Come on, let’s see it.” He said, I nodded firmly as I mimicked his arms placement, my fists were slightly uneven. He chuckled lightly as he stepped closer again, gently adjusting my elbows and tilting my chin downward. “Good,” he murmured. “But don’t be so tense. Monitor your opponent movement, defend yourself against them but don’t attack, so you don’t burn out fast!” “When they think they’ve gotten you weak then you attack, that’s the idea!” He explained.“Ohh wow, that’s what he did yesterday, he let you expend all your energy” I said to him and he nodded.“Exactly! Come on! Hit me!

CALLUMNext day. At the office.“Callum I understand how frustrating the situation is but we just have to restrategize and come up with another plan as soon as possible,”“Even if he was still alive, he didn’t seem like he was going to help us in anyway. He literally killed himself!” Nolan said to me. I dropped my hands slowly and sighed angrily.“Annabeth is working tirelessly to recover the hacked video footage, she said it’d be ready anytime soon.”“Also, you have the fight with Alpha Kade tomorrow to worry about!” He said to me, I sighed and nodded firmly. “Have some people Monitor Kael for me, I want to know everything he’s doing per time” I said to him, he furrowed his brows at me in confusion. “Kael? Why?”“I’m suspecting him!” I replied firmly. He shrugged obviously still shocked by my decision.“No problem, I’ll do that. I’ve reached out to the elders concerning tomorrow also. They’re asking you to visit the seer before you go” he said I rolled my eyes to the back of my he

SCARLETT “Thank you!” I said to the taxi driver immediately he got to the front of my house. I settled the bills, opened the door and got out. Just as I was about to enter the house, I heard a loud honking sound, only then did I realize there was a car packed by my house. I was so consumed in my thoughts to realize. I turned, the door slowly went open and I saw Callum step out of the driver seat with a big flower bouquet in his hands. I rolled my eyes to the back of my head as I stepped back, folded my hands across my chest and waited for him to make his way towards me. “My Queen,” he said as soon as he got closer to me and stretched the flowers to me. I raised my lips in a sheer.“Don’t call me that,” I mumbled and gently took the flowers from him. “I’m sorry, ““Honestly I had no idea why I didn’t tell you about it, I guess she’s just a part of my life I so desperately wanted to forget,”“Still not an excuse, you should have told me. I deserved to know, not just setting me up

DAY OF THE ANNIVERSARY Hours before the Anniversary ….SCARLETT “If you would just talk to him, he’s been trying for two days now,” Kaitlyn said to me, she was seated on my bed, while I was seated in front of the vanity mirror applying makeup. Cora and Alyssa had gone ahead to set things up and it was just me at home. I paused and slowly looked up at her through the mirror. “You don’t understand do you?!” I muttered and she sighed deeply. “He lied to me, he told me I was his first ..”“Knowing fully well that I wasn’t, that hurts like crazy,” I paused as she completed my statement for me. I rolled my eyes to the back of my head and resumed applying my lipstick, her phone dinged and I turned to her immediately,“Is that Myla?!” I asked immediately and she nodded slowly. “She’s on her way here,” she muttered and my shoulders slumped. “No other thing?” I asked as I closed the lipstick and replaced it in my drawer. “You really don’t want to know the answer to that,” she mumbled, I

SCARLETT Later that day … “I’ve sent Kian’s location to you, Kaitlyn says he’ll be there for a while, since my mother has me already, he’s making an attempt on Callum’s life,”“I’ll update you as she updates me,” I said to Myla over video call and she nodded slowly.“Is Cora still looking for me? Do you think I should take my mother away so she doesn’t find her?” She asked, I bit on my lower lips and nodded slowly. “I’ll take care of your mom don’t worry,” I said to her and she nodded with a small exhale.“Thank you,” she whispered and I nodded slowly. “The anniversary ceremony will hold in two weeks, I plan for us to get our facts right and expose my mother on that day, I’d do it when it’s time for me to give my speech,” I said to her and she nodded slowly. “I’ll keep Callum in the loop,”“Do you still not want me to tell him the truth?” She asked and I shook my head slowly. “I think it’s best I tell him myself, I’ll find a way before the anniversary, just so he’s not caught of

SCARLETT NEXT DAY. At the hospital. “Here’s the result,” I slowly took the envelope from the doctor and stretched it out to Kaitlyn,“Will you open it?!” I asked, she swallowed hard and slowly took the envelope from me. I watched as she tore the envelope open with shaky hands. She slowly dipped her hands inside it and took out the white paper in it. Her gaze fell on it and her eyes went tightly shut.“What does it say?!” I asked my voice barely about a whisper.“It’s a hundred percent match.” The doctor supplied immediately.“Although something is surprising, the report says that you both are identical twins sharing the same parents, it doesn’t seem that way to me,” he added and I nodded firmly at his words.“I understand this is your office, but please can you give us a minute? I need to talk to her,” I said and he nodded slowly. “Sure,” he muttered and with that he pushed his chair backwards, got up and walked out. I exhaled deeply and the next thing I heard was Kaitlyn whimperi

CALLUM Later ….“His name is Marcus. He’s been Cora’s accomplice for the longest time,”“He has been helping her make all the potions that makes her execution seamless. He’s also Alyssa’s real father” Myla said to me, my gaze intensely on the building in front of us and I nodded slowly. “I’ve been seeing him for some weeks now, he has helped Scarlett and I a great deal,”“When I spoke to him today, Cora found out that he has been seeing me, I know she’s going to do something to him, this is my chance to make him escape her,” she said. “I’m only doing this because it’s what Scarlett would have wanted, and you should know, he most definitely won’t go Scott free,” I said to her and she nodded slowly. “I understand that. We just need him to be alive as our witness,” she responded, with that we both stepped out of the car and I headed towards the door. I insisted Nolan stayed behind with Annabeth while we settle this quickly. As soon as we got to the entrance I tried to open the door

SCARLETT “Scarlett!” My mother yelled as she forcefully pushed the door open and barged in.“Scarlett!” She yelled even louder. With shaky hands I slowly pushed the closet door open and peeked out. “Mom?!” I whispered, I saw her pause and slowly turn to me. I slowly opened the door fully and stepped out limping. “M-y—Myla, she tried to kill me?” I stuttered as I stretched out the wrist I had stabbed myself in to her. Her eyes widened almost immediately and she stepped closer to me. “She did this to you?!” She asked, I nodded firmly, winced pretentiously and stepped away when she tried to touch the hand. “She — she came here, plugged in, like she was being controlled by what she was listening to, I couldn’t even defend myself because I don’t have a wolf.” I said, she stiffened and slowly looked up at me. “You don’t have a wolf?!” She whispered and I nodded slowly. “I don’t remember ever having a wolf? Did I develop one in the last Eight months?!” I asked, she swallowed hard and

SCARLETT I watched as she froze over her hands gripping the door knob tightly. I wiped my tears dry and dropped the picture onto the space beside me. “Kaitlyn Pierce, my twin but we were born two hours apart which practically makes me your older sister,” I continued my voice barely above a whisper but loud enough for her to hear me. “Kaitlyn Pierce , you swore never to get married because you were scared of how badly Father treated mother, but you never said a word of it out, you told just me because you knew mother would freak out if you ever mentioned a word of it,” “Shut up!” She growled as she turned the door knob locked and swiftly dashed to me.“How did you find out so much about me! Since when have you been stalking me! Who did you pay to find out about me!” She growled in my face. I didn’t flinch, I just kept staring at her.“We were the HK twin from silvery Island, we were a force and we were unstoppable even at our young age. I was the stubborn one and you were the peace

TWO DAYS LATERCORA “What the hell Kian! After I told you to leave her to me!” I growled, my eyes on Scarlett who was lying almost lifeless on her bed in her room. Her head was wrapped in thick bandages. She looked pale white and her lips was very red. “You even had the mind to bring her here? Where do you think is the first place they’ll try to look for her?!” I asked turning to Kian where he stood by the foot of the bed. Alex was seated by her vanity table and the new girl Kian came with — Kaitlyn, stood by the other side of the bed. She had a look of strong hatred for Scarlett as she stared at her on the bed, I don’t know why but I just have an unsettling feeling around her. “You should even be thanking me for saving her life, left to Kaitlyn, she would have been dead!”“Don’t worry about them looking for her here, they’re probably caught up with looking for her in the alliances surrounding that ocean” I said to her. I slowly turned to look at Alex,“You should thank me, I wan

CALLUM 11:00pm …. “Seth, is everybody ready?!” I asked and he nodded slowly. “Great, I’m coming with you!” I said and got up to my feet. “No no, you don’t have to. Trust me, we’ll get the job done,” he said. I passed him a long stare and shook my head slowly.“I want to be there, so I can be sure you’re doing your jobs thoroughly,” I muttered. Just then, Gina walked into the living room with her hands behind her. “Callum, there’s something I need to tell you,” she mumbled. “Gina, please hold on, now is not the time, I’m actually very busy,” I rushed my words without sparing her a glance. I slowly bent and reached for Scarlett’s clothes folded on the floor. “Incase you might want to send those scent trained wolf to sniff her out,” I muttered handing over the bag to him. “Kian is not dead,” she said. I paused and slowly turned to look at her. “What are you talking about?!” “R-remember that —that night? When I said he didn’t find me ? It was a lie, he found me,” she stuttered s
