The sun was coming through the window at such an odd angle. Like it was the afternoon. The sun shouldn't be up at all right now, why hadn't Eliza woken me up for the morning farm chores? Had her alarm not gone off as well? I relished in that for a moment, allowing myself to revel in the extra hours of sleep I had gotten. But I still felt as if I had gotten up at four and worked my ass off and before that, I had gotten horrible sleep. My body felt weak and fatigued. When the sun pissed me off enough, I opened my eyes with a sigh of defeat. I sat up quickly in surprise.
The room was huge. White marble flooring, dark wood walls, and floor to ceiling windows that overlooked a forest. I was laying in a large bed with thick white covers. There was a door that was cracked open, I could see the crystal marble sink of a bathroom. There were two other doors, I hoped one of them was an exit. There
"So let me get this straight- he lives in the middle of nowhere, has a huge house, and a staff?" Eliza asked again, still surprised by all the details I had given her. I nodded and she gushed. Frank hadn't spoken to me again this morning, he seemed to preoccupied, reading the newspaper like the font was too small. I didn't bother. There were other questions I wanted answers too. Like how Diesel knew about the wolves. Eliza went on with the questions. She growled when I told her about Jamie and Alma's bets. She laughed when I told her about Dakari. She seemed to like Diesel, she was grateful to him. Knowing that he saved me from a "bear attack." If only she knew what actually happened. As if he knew I was talking about him, my phone ringed with his number."Hello?" I whispered when I got far enough from Eliza."Hey there," he breathed ba
The muzzle of Lucas' gun pressed into my temple. His arm wrapped around my throat, hoisting my off the dirt. My feet flailed aimlessly and my hands clawed at his arm. He hissed lowly at me. Alastor's body was locked into place, his eyes wide with fear."I'll shoot her." Lucas seethed. Alastor growled at him, his ears pressed against his skull. Slowly he sat back down. Lucas laughed loudly before planting a kiss to my cheek."Thanks love!" I winced away from him. He lifted me higher off the ground, I choked lightly. His hold tightened, my prying fingers did no good."Show her." Alastor's eyes were full of a new fear. His ears straightened and he let out a whimper with a small shake of his head. Lucas pushed the gun into my head harder. I sucked on my teeth in pain. Alastor jumped a litt
Diesel was there when I woke up. His hand still wrapped around mine, his sleeping face next to my pillow, his body crouched beside the bed. I smiled softly. I squeezed my hand out of his successfully and stretched my body. My calf stung when I slid onto the ground.. But it didn't stop me from trying to shove Diesel onto the bed. After that failed, I crawled back onto the bed and tried pulling. I got him halfway up when Jamie peeked her head in with a raised brow. I laughed nervously when she snorted. She helped me get the rest of him on the bed and I lightly tucked him in. I pushed his hair from his face, smiling at how peaceful he looked. Jamie grabbed my hand and towed me from the room."We're making breakfast Luna, care to join?" She asked. Luna? I didn't question it. There was too much information I still needed to learn, I'll get it eventually. I nodded.
Just like I thought, Diesel was sleeping beside me. I chuckled softly and ran my hand through his hair. His eyes slowly opened and a lazy smile lit his face."Good morning mon amour," he whispered."Mornin," his smile grew. After getting dressed Diesel and I walked downstairs and moaned at the smell of breakfast. Alma and Jamie were in the kitchen again."We made omelets," Alma said, not bothering to turn around."Have fun last night?" Jamie wiggled her brows. I stared at her confusingly before looking over to Diesel. He was glaring at her and his face was hot pink. He could read what she was thinking right? It clicked for me then when she wiggled her brows again."No no no no no!" I
-Self-harm trigger warning-"Here we go!" Jamie said while yanking the zipper up my back. This dress was way too small for me. Why did I have to wear a dress anyway? I was just meeting everyone. Not like its a party. She cussed when the zipper halted halfway up my back."Suck it in Ms. Snicker!" She hissed. What does that even mean? I sucked in my stomach and when the zipper went all the way up, I let out a heavy breath. She spun me around and grinned at me. Then she sauntered from the room. I dared a peek in the mirror then regretted it immediately. I was trapped in a tight black dress. It stuck to me like a second skin. It was off the shoulder and the bottom reached mid-thigh. I grabbed the bottom and tugged it down self-consciously. I turned around and gasped softly. It was even shorter in the back. This dress showed my every flaw. B
I woke up to warm hands around my face. I mumbled an incomprehensible response to which he chuckled. When I didn't open my eyes he stubbornly wrapped his arms around me and hoisted me off the bed at great speed. I let out a sound of surprise. When I was upside over his shoulder I finally could take a breath. I stared down at the white tile and panted in shock."Diesel!" I exasperated. He chuckled again before flipping me back over and holding me tight to his chest. My feet floated off the ground and my face was not an inch from him. His eyes were lit with excitement and his face was crinkled with a huge smile. Butterflies attacked my stomach and my heart dropped."Mon amour I want to apologize for last night's occurrences," his smile flattered and his eyes drifted to the floor. "Thing's have already been taken care of this morning. Thou
The drive into town was long, I wasn't exactly sure where his cabin was even located. Eliza and I jammed in the back seat to whatever we commanded Diesel to put on. Which was mostly Disney music. I didn't know exactly what Kari was going to say when I got there but I think I could take an easy guess. Pulling in, Eliza was impossible to control and we lost her almost imminently. You couldn't keep that girl away from the rhino enclosure if you wanted to. Diesel and I ambled through the park and even with the incident almost a month behind us, people still stared at me. Diesel kept a hovering hand on my lower back and his brows were pushed down. Though questions bubbled at people's lips, no one approached. Brett-curious by the sudden silence of the crowd- turned from the Tazmanian Devil's and searched for the cause. His eyes rounded and a smile flitted across his face. He eyed Diesel and cautiously pulled me into a hug.
The City was too packed to drive through so we left the car at the hotel and took out on foot. The tops of buildings were blurred by the sun and the sound of nature was completely obscured by honking cars, yelling drivers, and shuffling feet. You could also smell the difference in the air due to the pollution and the hundreds of lungs. We finally walked into a breakfast cafe, the smell of bakery was a new hit in the face compared to outside. Eliza, Diesel, and I slid into a booth and started up some casual conversation that was interrupted by a waitress."What would you girls like?" Diesel asked while sharing his menu with me. Eliza sucked on her teeth across from us while staring deeply into the menu."I'll take a coffee and a buttered bagel please," I said simply and Diesel seconded me.
Diesel swooped me into his arms and spun me around. A cheerful laugh vibrating throughout his chest. He pulled back just enough to kiss me. People giggled and applauded around us which made my cheeks burn. Six months down the road, things were starting to get better. It's still hard when I think about her, and I wish she were here to see me become Luna, but I'm okay. I'm Luna now. Irma is so very proud of me. Diesel couldn't be happier. The pack's thoughts bouncing around my head couldn't be happier. I now got to lead beside him. His eyes sparkled when he looked down at me. He was the rest of my life. Everyone shifted - I climbed onto Alastor's back- and we took a few celebratory laps around the pack.This was it.
He re-wrapped my sliced hands and gave me a sympathetic pat on the shoulder. I was focusing on little things. Like how gently he held my hands. Was that a trait that was taught, or something from experience? Maybe he was born with it and that's why he went into this field. Why would anyone want to be a doctor? Having to experience all this sadness every day. I wanted to ask him, question after question to focus on something else other than this burning feeling in my chest. But I don't think I could anyway. My mouth was very dry."How are you doing Ms. James?" I nodded glumly which he frowned at. I stared at the wall, not wanting to look into his eyes. Diesel wrapped his arm around my waist and helped me to my feet. Penny barreled through the doors when we walked back into the waiting room. Her eyes were crazed, her face blotchy with tears. She saw me and sprinted to my side.
DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO GORE. SKIP TO ************Eliza flew across the intersection and landed on the opposite cross-walk, her body skipping in between the white lines. The shinny truck skidded to a stop, the smell of burnt tires filled the air. The commotion on the sidewalks halted instantly. An odd feeling filling the air, one I had never experienced. People's gasps of fear were loud, but the numerous amounts of people dialing 911 were louder. The glaring sun now watched behind thick clouds. The street was covered in shadows but her firey hair seemed to be like a lighthouse, laying in the middle of the road. A scream ripped through me. I clawed against Diesel's arms that were caged around me. Finally, he let me go when the man in the truck stepped out of his vehicle. The man looked surprised, his eyes wide with fear. I ran toward her motionles
