A Luna's Silent Tears 24. Lucienne
~Lucienne~ A lady arrived moments later, her expression a mix of concern and professionalism as she approached my bedside. "Lucienne. I'm Doctor Hayes. How are you feeling?" she asked, her voice gentle yet authoritative. "I'm... I'm not sure," I admitted, my hands trembling as I clutched at the thin hospital blanket. "There was this… feeling, this pain. It felt like... like someone was tearing me apart from the inside." Doctor Hayes nodded, her brow furrowing in thought. "I see. Well, we'll need to run some tests to figure out what's going on. But first, let's make sure you're stable." Over the next hour, I underwent a battery of examinations and scans, each one more invasive than the last. Needles pricked my skin, machines hummed and whirred around me, and all the while, I felt like a specimen under a microscope, scrutinized and prodded for answers I couldn't even provide. Finally, Doctor Hayes stepped back, her expression unreadable as she studied the results. "Physically, you
A Luna's Silent Tears 25. Lucienne
~Lucienne~ As we strolled along the bustling but calm streets, I couldn't help but soak in every detail of this new environment. This place seemed like a world unto itself, teeming with life and activity. Everywhere I looked, there were people going about their tasks with purpose and determination, their movements fluid and efficient. Unlike the pack I was accustomed to, where hierarchy and tradition ruled every interaction, here there was a sense of equality and camaraderie that was both refreshing and disconcerting. It was as if the usual barriers and divisions that separated alphas, betas, and omegas had been erased, replaced by a feeling of unity and cooperation that transcended rank. "I've never seen anything like this," I remarked, my voice tinged with wonder. "Back in my old pack, everyone had their place, their role to fulfill. But here... it's different. It's like... like we're all part of the same pack." Doctor Hayes nodded, her expression thoughtful. "Yes, that's one of
A Luna's Silent Tears 26. Killian
~Killian~My pulse quickened at the mention of Lucienne's name, my breath catching in my throat. "Is she okay?" I asked, my voice strained with worry as I imagined all sorts of scenarios.The nurse's voice was calm but tinged with a hint of urgency. "Yes, Alpha. She's awake and stable now, but she seems insistent on seeing you," she explained, her words sending a surge of hope coursing through me.Relief flooded through me, mingling with an overwhelming sense of gratitude to the Moon Goddess. "Thank you," I murmured, my gratitude evident in my tone. "I'll be there as soon as I can."Hanging up the phone, I turned to Nicholas, my expression bright with newfound hope. "Lucienne's awake," I announced, unable to keep the joy from my voice. "She's asking for me."Nicholas's eyes widened in surprise, a smile spreading across his face. “That's incredible news. I told you that night but you didn't listen,” he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine happiness for me. "We'll head to the hospita
A Luna's Silent Tears 27. Killian
~Killian~"Lucienne," I began again, my voice now firm and commanding. "You should be resting. Hope the walk didn't drain you much?" I chided, though my tone softened slightly as I saw the apologetic look in her eyes.Lucienne's gaze dropped, her voice barely above a whisper as she responded with a small smile. "I'm sorry, Killian," she murmured, her words laced with guilt. "I guess I should call you Alpha Killian now… It just needed some fresh air, and Doctor Hayes said it would be okay. But I am fine, I assure you."I sighed, running a hand through my hair in frustration. "I understand, Lucienne," I admitted, my tone gentler now as I reached out to help her sit down. "But you need to prioritize your health right now."She nodded in understanding, her expression contrite as she met my gaze. "I'm sorry," she repeated, her voice tinged with regret. "I promise I won't do anything reckless again. I need to pay you back after all.”I offered her a small smile, unable to stay angry with her

A Luna's Silent Tears 29. Lucienne
~Lucienne~I was expecting Dr. Hayes at the door but instead, it was Killian... Sorry, I meant Alpha Killian. The moment he mentioned therapy, it felt like all the demons I locked away in a box began to laugh, mocking me for thinking I could bury them without a hitch. That wasn't my main problem though. It was doctor Hayes. Earlier, from the corner of my eye, I saw her pain etched on her face, and it made me feel like I had committed some unforgivable sin by hugging Killian. I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt, and I knew I had to confront it. So, despite my initial reluctance, I decided to seek out Dr. Hayes and clear the air.As I stepped out of my room, my heart pounded in my chest with each step I took towards Dr. Hayes's office. I couldn't help but wonder what her reaction would be when I confronted her about what I saw earlier. Would she be angry with me for getting too close to Killian? Or would she understand my actions?When I arrived at her office, however, I was met
A Luna's Silent Tears 30. Dr. Hayes
~Doctor Hayes~“You think she believed it?” My wolf asked and I merely shook my head.“She should. She felt pretty convinced to me,” I replied, falling into my chair with a sigh. What was I thinking, imagining Killian would ever be mine? Even without realizing he's her mate, he still cares for her. Despite my looks, degrees and accomplishments, it felt like I was never anyone's perfect half.“Can't wait to go home and gulp down that bottle of wine,” I grumbled, packing my things from the table now. What I said to Lucienne was the truth as I can't treat a patient if I was broken myself.With a heavy heart, I began clearing out my office, packing away the files and notes that had accumulated over the week. It was bittersweet to leave behind the familiar surroundings and closeness to the man of my dreams, but I knew it was time to move on.As I locked up the office for the last time, a sense of emptiness washed over me. I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness but I knew it was for the
A Luna's Silent Tears 31. Lucienne
~Lucienne~ As Dr. Hayes left the room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness wash over me. The news of her departure and the impending change in my recovery left me feeling adrift, unsure of what the future held. Alone in my room, I tried to push aside my feelings of unease and focus on the present. Dinner arrived shortly after, brought in by one of the nurses who had been attending to me since my arrival. Their familiar faces and comforting presence helped to ease some of the tension that had been building within me. As I ate my meal, my thoughts turned to the pack hierarchy, a topic that had been on my mind since my arrival. Despite the outward appearance of unity, I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to the pack than met the eye. Once I had finished eating, I approached one of the nurses, a kind-hearted woman named Emily, and decided to broach the topic with her. "Nurse Emily, can I ask you something?" Emily smiled warmly, her eyes filled with curiosi

~Lucienne~Olivia's words sent a shiver down my spine, her anger still simmering beneath the surface despite her attempt at an apology. I forced a tight smile, trying to brush off her threat as if it were nothing more than empty words even though I knew they weren't. Killian stepped forward, breaking the handshake. "Alright, Olivia. Go cool off."With a final glare in my direction, Olivia turned on her heel and stalked away, her posture tense with anger. I let out a shaky breath, relieved that the confrontation was over, at least for now.As Olivia disappeared into the darkness, the tension in the air slowly began to dissipate and before I knew it, the other warriors gathered around me, offering words of praise and encouragement for my defense skills during the spar."Nice moves out there, Lucy," one of them said, clapping me on the back with a grin.
