I entered the bathroom and had a quick shower.
I now feel refreshed.
Later at night, Stark returned from work and he looked very exhausted.
He could only throw his suitcase to one side of the bed and fall unto the bed.
I checked him and I realized that he was already deep asleep.
So fast? It must have been a really tiring day at work then.
I left the room and went into the living room for a drink of water.
This actually turned out to be a good thing because, this was when I finally heard something that shook me to the marrow.
What if I hadn't come into the living room?
That would have been the end of I and the alpha's plans against Stark.
Diana was showing or should I say, playing a recorded conversation between me and the alpha.
And not just any conversation too. She had also recorded the sounds we made
49The next day, I woke up right next to Stark.I smiled and gave him a little kiss on the forehead.Then I got up and went straight to the bathroom.Just because I had some fun last night doesn't mean I would forget my goal.And that is to delete the record on Diana's phone.I had to meet the alpha first, so of course, I needed a bath.As I continued to shower, I heard the door to the bathroom open and then close."Who's there?" I asked.I sniffed out the person and I realized that Stark had come in to the bathroom.I ignored him and continued to shower.The he suddenly put his arms around me.I shivered a bit because the contact between our bodies was cold.His skin came against mine and I knew immediately that he had he had already taken off his clothes."What are you doing here?" I asked Star
50I snared at Stark's step mother and she continually stared at me.Hatred was written all over her face with a whole lot of obvious.I didn't care. There is nothing she could have done to me.And no matter what she planned, I would always be one step ahead of her.I am not someone to mess with at all.Soon after we had finished eating, the alpha came down to eat.Stark had just gone out for work not so long ago.I left the house and went to work.I was face to face, like I had expected, with a lot of catching up to do at my office. So you can expect that day would be a hell of busy.Some weeks past and wasn't feeling well at all.And I mean at all. Not like I was faking it or anything.I went to the hospital on my own, even though Stark had offered to take me.After I did a test with the
51"Is that true?" Stark asked me.I kept quiet and looked away from his face."Answer me Andra! Is what he is saying true?!" He yelled at me again."Yes Stark. He is telling the truth. I am a Luna." I replied.Stark's gun fell down right from his hand and he fell to his knees."So... Everything was indeed a lie? You lied to me about love... You only pretended to be my friend. You deceived me." Stark said in tears."You should have known better Stark. Werewolves don't fall in love." The alpha said."Oh, I forgot, you never knew we were werewolves. Bummer." The alpha said.He seemed to have been enjoying every single moment of what he was doing to Stark."Shut up! Just shut up!" Stark said to the alpha.Stark then turned to me in sad anger."Andra..." Stark started."Why did you do it?" Stark asked.&nb
52"Vector's army is more in number my Lord." The werewolf answered."What?! Ho could that possibly be?!" The alpha said."Everyone knows that we are more in number than the vampires. How come they increased and became more in number?" I asked."Well, the thing is, we just recently found out that Vector had been changing minors of the city into werewolves. He was sure to select minors so that nobody would ever notice their absence, if not the families of the victims." The werewolf explained.A look of shock and surprise was made visible on my face.I turned to the alpha and he had exactly the same look of shock and surprise."I will have to speak to the pack on this issue. And I would have to do it right now." The alpha said.Things are getting worse each passing moment and this is all getting too much for me.However, as the Luna, I would have to set every ot
53When and the alpha entered his chamber fully, there were already two werewolves in it.They were guards, there to watch over the alpha's chamber in his absence."I want to be left alone." The alpha said.The two guards exited his chamber, leaving just the alpha and I left in his chamber.The alpha sat on his chair and looked into the open.He was in deep thought and I knew that what was bothering him was the fact that we were going to war with a huge number of vampires.The vampires had been planning and preparing for the battle for a long period of time.And as for us, we only just found out about it.Of course the alpha would be worried and so was I.There is a lot going on in my mind right now, Stark included.Stark must really hate me right now for what he has found out about me.I remember when he had
54"A werewolf can never fall in love Vector. And definitely not with a Luna being in love with an ordinary human." I retorted."That's what you think. You claim not to be dumb, you also claim not to be a child but yet you don't see what is right before your eyes." Vector said.I immediately had flashbacks of every moment I had with Stark right from the beginning of our love story.I... I am in love with Stark?"You don't know what you are talking about." I said to Vector."Don't I? Sorry my dear Luna, but I don't go too deep into all this yucky love stuff. I would explain your stupid emotions to you but I find it quite disturbing." Vector said.I got even more infuriated and pounced at him again.He dodged again and I caught him immediately after he did."Now you are at my mercy!" I said and growled."Haha, I am
55I honestly don't know what step I should take next about this pregnancy.But one thing is for sure and that is, I am not going to abort this child, no matter whose baby it ends up belonging to.I have gone through enough already. I'm not going to allow any of these things happening get to me.After some long hours of being tied to a chair with a sack over my face and waiting for nothing in particular, I finally fell asleep.Sleeping seemed like the most reasonable thing to do at this moment.I opened my eyes and found myself in a beautiful environment.The grasses we're green and covered with flowers.The sky was as blue as it could every be. Fresh air blew through my hair and it felt so nice to finally be at a peaceful place.A place where my mind could wonder off without warning.I enjoyed every single momen
56Finding out who had just fed me didn't even take long.Just minutes after I was done eating, Stark appeared before me.We stared at each other for some seconds before we finally got back to reality."I came to rescue you. Just hold on a minute." Stark said.He moved behind me and started to untie the ropes."So it was you who had thrown food towards my direction?" I asked him as he continued working on the ropes."Yes, I figure you would need something to eat. Also to boost your energy for the escape." Stark replied.He got me loose and held my hand as I got up from the chair.My body started to achieve so I started with baby steps at first.I got a hold of myself and ran with Stark.Along the way, we almost got caught by several vampires.All through every minute I spent with Stark in the vampires' den, I
"Hey, I just wanted to surprise you with something. No big deal about it." Stark said."Surprise me? Rumors are being spread falsely about you and your company. Rumors that said you've been stealing money from my company and also been engaging yourself in fraudulent practices." I explained, trying to calm myself."And you believed those rumors?" Stark asked me.People still stood there watching the both of us."No, I don't believe those rumors. And I don't think you would do a thing like that." I said to Stark.The question of how Stark knew I'd come here crossed my mind and so I asked him about it."Stark?" I said his name."Yes?" He answered."How did you know I would come here?" I asked him."That's a good question. It's also a very simple one if I may say so myself." Stark replied."Just shut up and answer the question." I said, clearly showing
Of course I would look and smell so filthy. I just returned from a battle.I went back into the bathroom and I had my bath.Looks like I will have to resume work tomorrow.After taking a bath that almost lasted an hour, I came out of the bathroom feeling like a new person.You know that new feeling, that feeling of clean freshness when you are just done bathing? That's exactly how I felt.The thought of the alpha's death still penetrated my mind.He had saved me from what could have been my last memory on earth.He really did loved me. Even after knowing that Stark was the one I love, he sacrificed his life for mine. He is truly a great alpha and a great companion.I like him for who he is.I just feel bad that I don't love him the way he loves me.I put on a night gown since it was almost night time again and sat on the bed.
62"Stallone!" I screamed.I rushed to his aid immediately and I was on my knees before him right there.Stark finally reached where I was and even bent down with me.Apparently Stark had a doctor or rather, doctors, among his followers.Stark called out loudly for one of them and the doctor he had called for came right before us.The doctor placed his hand on some parts of Stallone to check his breathing or so.After carrying out some actions, the doctor looked at Stark and then at me."He won't be able to make it through this. It's better you say your last words with him before he dies." The doctor said."You can't possibly be serious!" I yelled."He... He is the alpha, nothing can happen to him! Not when the pack and I still need him!" I shouted again.Stark tried to call me down but I refused to be calmed.
61To my surprise, as Stallone kept attacking stark, stark handled himself quite well.Stark wasn't exactly hitting back or anything. I mean he was, but soon stopped after realizing it had no effect on Stallone.Stark was dodging ever blow that came from Stallone like he was an expert.I was actually very impressed with what I was seeing. Soon enough Stallone stopped throwing punches."Hmm, impressive. You seem like a complete expert at dodging." Stallone said."Thank you for the comment." Stark replied."It's too bad, what we need on the battle ground are people who know how to throw punches. Not cowards who dodge from it all their lives." Stallone stated."The vampires!" A werewolf shouted."What the!" Another exclaimed and growled furiously as the first pushed him aside."The vampires!" The werewolf repeated.This time, he had alre
60Stark decided to let it all go and then, since I got lost in thought and didn't pay attention to him at first, he started over again and explained the plan he had devised in detail.Stark sounded so much like a professional while he was explaining his plan.So much that I was sure that we had the upper hand at the battle."So? What do you two think?" Stark asked, waiting for both our opinions."I think your plan will do for now since we haven't made any by map yet." Stallone said to Stark.Stallone was trying to accept and also degrade Stark's plan at the same time.Stark knew better by now and I could see he was trying to control himself around Stallone.Stark wasn't ready to go into argument against Stallone and waste precious time over again."Your plan was amazing. I'm sure with this carefully thought out plan, we would win the battle." I said to Stark.
59I've not really seen this side of the alpha.He changed to his human form and I followed suit.And I must say, it's quite nice to see him that way."Andra?" He called out, snapping me out of my thoughts."I've been calling your name for some time now. You've been smiling to yourself." The alpha said."Huh? No I wasn't." I disagreed with him."Yes you were. I saw it with my own eyes." He said."No, you were probably thinking about something else and thought I was smiling." I said to him."So you are saying that I have been thinking about you?" He asked.My cheeks flushed."Since when? I never said that." I replied, rushing my words."Oh, so you are saying that I wasn't thinking of you but you were thinking of me?" He said.Okay, this time, I could swear my entire face
58"You will not speak to your alpha in that manner Andra!" The alpha yelled at me."I'm trying to be as calm as I can my Lord. But you know it within yourself that we need their help. We don't stand a chance on our own now. It's not like before when we were more in number than the vampire." I explained."Leave my presence at once!" The alpha yelled.I wasn't a little girl to run away crying like some fairy tales you must have heard about. No, I am the Luna.I left the alpha's chamber and soon after, Stark was pushed out of the alpha's chambray by the werewolf who had captured him.Stark got thrown into a cage for animals and locked in.Lucky enough for him, it was a cage. He could receive air even though it would mostly be difficult to breathe in a cage where left over kills the alpha made sometimes were being kept in it. Not for eating of course.Why did the alga refus
57Men can really be so annoying sometimes.I don't have any time for all this love stuff anymore.What's final is final. I will give birth to and raise my baby on my own.I don't need a man beside me. I am strong on my own."Okay, you all should follow me." I said to the hunters.We all walked till we got closer and closer to the alpha's fortress.Once we were near enough, I stopped them from going any further."What? Why are we stopping here?" One of Stark's followers asked."It won't be right to just take you to the alpha's fortress directly. You all have to wait here while I proceed to speak to him and try to convince him to take your help." I explained to them."Okay, we'll stay right here and wait." Stark said.Since they seemed to all be fine with my decision, I put it into action.They waited for me a
