The Broken Luna Chapter 18: Hallucinating
Driving across the country with a broken heart and a toddler while pregnant is one of the hardest things I've ever done. I could barely see much out of my left eye because it was swollen. I couldn't wait it out until it went down. Time was of the essence and it could cost us our lives.I could taste the blood in my mouth as I pulled out of my father's driveway. I had to wipe my lip every few seconds because it refused to stop bleeding. It was just like old times growing up. I tried to blink back the tears as I directed the car to the nearest gas station for gas and supplies.I got a lot of stares when I stopped at the local gas station and I tried not to dwell on it. I only paused to look in the glass window. The extremely swollen half of my face was decorated with shades of purple turning black and blue. I absentmindedly reached out to touch it. It hummed in pain. I didn't think I could look any worse.I didn't think about it. I drove non stop until I couldn't anymore, day and night,
The Broken Luna Chapter 19: No home and warmth
It was like a call in the darkness. My body was frozen in fear. Oishin’s commanding voice sounded on edge and I hung up the phone quickly. There would never be enough time in the world to calm my racing heart. I didn't stay there that night, I left immediately.I knew I had to keep a tighter rein on myself. I couldn't let myself go, if not for me then for everyone else with me. I had to fight it with everything I had. I was terrified of what was happening. If I went then they went with me and that was the most terrifying part of it all. They needed me more than anything else.So I tried. Whenever my mind drifted to him I thought of something else, anything else. It was beyond mentally draining and sometimes I would find myself disoriented and sweating profusely ready to lose consciousness. But it worked. I was holding on to my sanity.It took a week to arrive at the Half Moon sanctuary. It was a disappearing turn off, hidden deep within the thick of a forest, the only sign of an access
The Broken Luna Chapter 20: The Orphanage
Some of the huts used thin sheets to block the entrances but I needed them to bundle Milo up so he was warm. I placed him to sleep between me and the wall. He had already been falling asleep by the time we got to the room. I brushed his dark hair back as I watched him sleep. "I'm sorry it's not the best." A lot of things had become startlingly clear in the past few days; the bitter truth. I had blindly placed too much faith in Oishin thinking he would never hurt me. I had placed everything into building him and his pack. But here I was in a run down hut with no money and nowhere to go, I went in with nothing and I left the same. I hadn't made sure I had even an account set aside or something of value in case something happened. I left with nothing. I didn't have any skills other than being luna. I had blindly followed him in the name of love thinking I was taking my rightful place only for it all to be a joke. The simple gold ring that he had given me for my worth couldn't have aff
The Broken Luna Chapter 21: The Stranger
The man struggled to breathe, his veins protruding out from his neck. My rescuer promised him death if he set a foot back inside our room and then he threw him out like he weighed nothing more than a feather. I was in the corner with Eion, with nowhere to go, fighting to breathe against the now rapid pains from over exertion. Sweat broke down my back and my vision was a bit blurry. We were cornered. I didn't know him either or his intentions. He could be even worse than the man he just threw out and he could kill the both of us without even breathing too hard. I needed to escape and get us to safety but the pain was too much. I couldn't move as fast as I could. He finally looked down on us. He was a tall hulking man, with long thick brown hair and eyes so brown they shone golden. "You might as well stay. Out there isn't any much better. I assure you, he and his friends are going to get retribution if you set foot outside with that boy,” he grumbled in clear annoyance when he saw me
The Broken Luna Chapter 22: A friend to have
I woke up to the soft warm orange glow of light, night had fallen and it was now evening. The camp was a bit quieter as everyone was either eating dinner or settling down for bed. The dancing orange glow of fires outside were lit once more and scattered through the forest like fireflies. I shifted a bit and a startling realisation gripped me that sent me flying up out of the bed in panic and patting the space beside me hysterically. Eion wasn't beside me, he was gone. The space beside me was empty and cold. I had fallen asleep for Moon Goddess knows how long and I didn't even feel him being moved from beside me. Fear almost spilled my heart. I turned and almost jumped out of my skin when I saw him sitting on a chair in front of the table next to the bed with the lamp lit. A scream was stifled in my throat and I breathed out heavily in relief. I then remembered the events earlier and why there was a very large, bearded man in our room. The light from the lamp lit up Yuhan's hair, a
The Broken Luna Chapter 23: The ending for a beginning
I did feel a lot safer with Yuhan. I woke up one morning to a thick comforter thrown over us to keep us warm from the incoming cold. He stayed and made sure we were fine. As the time wore on I came to trust him a bit more each day. He became a fixture in our lives. I didn't know how I could have gotten so lucky. The men didn't show up ever again, even when he wasn't present. They were afraid of him and any retribution he would meet. We were off limits and I couldn't be more thankful for my guardian angel. Overtime we got closer. He was a friend. My stomach had also grown. It was so large I couldn't believe it most times. I could no longer see my feet and getting up was a whole task. I was now waddling around near my due date. I also had to place a hand on my hip to move about. I thought of a few names but I haven't settled on anything yet. When they are born and I get to see them then I'll know what to name them. I was sitting on the top steps with Eion, taking in the cool
The Broken Luna Chapter 24: The Alpha who can't move on
"I'm sorry—I am so sorry," I sobbed, kneeling beside her. The sound of her labored, uneven breathing became scarcely audible over the erratic pounding of my heart, but it was there. That's all that mattered. "Please, stay with me. Help is coming, I promise," I told her. My voice broke, coming out strained and desperate. I was desperate, though. How could I not be? I was desperate to save my mate, desperate for this to be just a horrible nightmare, desperate for her to be okay. Her body lay before me, bloodied and mangled. The ground beneath her was gradually becoming saturated, stained by the crimson liquid seeping from the open wound on her side. The mixture of blood, dirt, and sweat that marred my face was long forgotten. I didn't care that I was naked or that my leg had been broken. None of that mattered now; nothing mattered except for her. The sight of her beautiful heart-shaped face, which was slowly turning a ghastly shade of white, caused pain like nothing I had ever fel
The Broken Luna Chapter 25: A pack and a Second chance?
It has been four years since I left that orphanage and I joined a pack. My kids and I were safe and we lived happily. The small pack named Lapis Lazuli accepted us without any doubt. Alpha and Luna treated my kids as their grandchildren and promised me if they pass away, Eion will inherit the pack. Due to birth complications and most of the pack members were elderly, my kids were the joy of everyone. The pack was located far away from big packs. In fact it’s close to the sea. Often Eion would swim and sometimes fish along with the aged Alpha. Today, the sky was grey and there was constantly threatening rain. It seemed fitting, however, as if the Moon Goddess wanted to cry with us. I for one, had already cried. I cried more than I thought anyone could. Rogues didn't attack packs anymore; we had been at peace for years now.Why her?Erica, who was a granny that took in and shared her house with us, was a simple woman, yet loved by so many in the pack. In fact, we were an all around si
