A Luna's Silent Tears 10. No More Freedom
~Lucienne~“Not that,” I mumbled, my body unconsciously taking a step back as I zoned out. There I was, surrounded by the bodies, the fire, the screams, the tears and blood on the faces of those around me, my calls for my family. Everything came rushing back and I could feel every inch of my body tremble. “Stop,” I heard myself shout, closing my ears to drown out the sound of agony but they were coming in full force. My legs were weak but they refused to crumble because I was in a pool of blood, the blood of my people, of my Father's pack, my former pack. “Lucienne!” Daniel's voice and a zap of the mate mark snapped me out of the past and I found myself mute, unable to hear his questions or answer them. Almost immediately, I was back at the scene and it was just me, standing in a pool of blood, hearing the cries of men and children, asking why I did it, asking why I took their happy life from them. Even my parents on their death bed looked at me and asked the same question but all I
A Luna's Silent Tears 11. Who Are You?
~Lucienne~As I watched the crimson beads trickle down my arms, I looked back at the broken piece of the mirror, a lovely and contented smile gracing my lips while a strange sense of calm washed over me, numbing the pain and filling me with a quiet resolve. With each cut, I felt the weight of my suffering begin to lift as if I were shedding layers of my old self along with the blood that stained my skin.But just as I started to feel the pull of unconsciousness tugging at the edges of my mind, a sharp rap at the bathroom door shattered the fragile peace I had found.“Lucienne, open this door right now!” Daniel's voice was filled with fury, echoing off the tiled walls of the small bathroom.Ignoring his demands, I pressed the shard of glass deeper into my flesh, willing myself to bleed faster, to escape this nightmare once and for all. But the pain was a cruel reminder that I was still very much alive, trapped in a body that seemed determined to cling to life no matter how much I begge
A Luna's Silent Tears 12. Free, But At What Cost?
~Daniel~First ring, second ring, third ring, I still didn't pick up the damn phone. No one threatens me! No one at all! So I wouldn't give an obsessed fucker the joy of seeing me scared. If he wants her, he should face me like a real man. “Prince, it's ready,” The voice of the earlier nurse snapped me out of my thoughts and I simply nodded before standing. Just immediately, I heard a moan, from Lucienne no doubt, causing me to turn around. Whether she was having a nightmare, I didn't care but I wanted her out of whatever it was and here, with me. The second she opened her eyes, I removed the oxygen mask from her face and then gave her the hardest slap I could muster at that point. The shock and fear in her eyes filled me with more than enough joy. “What were you thinking trying to kill yourself?” I barked, not caring about the tears building in her eyes! “I need answers.”“Nothing?” I asked after a few seconds of silence then nodded. “ Come in here,” I ordered the nurse and she d
A Luna's Silent Tears 13. Join Me, Stranger
~Lucienne~Daniel locked me in and then rushed out like he was being chased. Not like I cared but he could at least help me out of the handcuffs. “So you'd kill yourself again, yeah right,” my internal voice, the one I created to act like my wolf voiced out in my subconscious. “Well I need to set myself free,” I mumbled, then struggled to get off my feet. I knew he took the keys but there had to be other ways to unlock the cuffs. I glanced around the dimly lit room, searching desperately for anything that could help me escape these cursed handcuffs. My eyes landed on a small table in the corner, where a rusty old knife lay discarded. With a glimmer of hope, I limped over and picked it up, ignoring the pain shooting through my wounded leg."Maybe this will do the trick," I muttered to myself, clutching the knife tightly in my hand. With trembling fingers, I tried to maneuver the blade into the small crevice of the handcuff, hoping to pry it open. But no matter how hard I pushed and
A Luna's Silent Tears 14. Good or Bad news?
Killian's POV“How long till we get to the nearest hospital?” I asked, my voice low due to the fear of losing the girl on the bed. “Alpha we… we can't find any good hospital close by that'll be able to treat her condition,” My second in command said with a broken look. He knew how much Lucienne meant to me. I couldn't leave her, not like this. “The only option we have is to fly her home. I have the helicopter ready to go and before we get to the hospital I could call the hospital to prepare for her since we are dealing with… ““Poison,” The nurse who was busy doing compressions answered and I nodded. “Do it!”Immediately, the ambulance changed course from the intended location to the hangar where the helicopter would be. Every second felt like an eternity as I looked at her, her future lying motionless on the stretcher. My mind raced with possibilities, with worries, with hopes that she would make it through and that once bright smile that graced her face all those years would retu
A Luna's Silent Tears 15. Implications
~~~~~Is it truly one's guilt that forces you to hell? Or is there a particular someone who watches us every single moment and reports our actions to the Moon Goddess? Are they the ones who judge us instead? “Over there girl,” Lucienne was pushed, her face and body with so much blood. She stood in front of the dark cave, the sounds of chains hitting the ground as the warden specified that this, right here was indeed her hell. “Go in,” He spat. “There's no going back to the land of the living. He is waiting to place his mark on you. Don't keep the Prince waiting…”~~~~~~~Killian~“In order of importance,” I gave the most twisted yet satisfying answer I could think of. “We were able to get the poison out of her just in time before it did so much damage to her organs. The affected ones are currently being treated as we speak? “So Lucienne is awake?” Simon asked with a hopeful smile. “She is stable, but in a coma,” The doctor hurriedly finished up. “Do you want to see her, Alpha?”I
A Luna's Silent Tears 16. Rest
~Lucienne~“Daniel please,” Became my chant day and night in this hell of mine. Who would've thought escaping from life itself wasn't enough to grant me peace? Who would have thought I would still come to meet my torturer, Daniel. “Go on, there's nothing you can do. You can't go back to the land of the living,” The warden pushed me again, but I shook my head. “Please, let me breathe. Let me take a rest before we begin again,” I begged but they only laughed at me, kicking me inside the hell and Daniel laughed, another devilish device in his hands. “Wh-what is that?” I stammered, crawling back despite the heavy chains on me. “A little something. I realized we hadn't tried the death in hell stuff yet, let's do that today,” Daniel's voice came although very distorted as usual. The chains around me felt like a second skin, digging into my flesh with every movement. The scent of sulfur filled the air, mingling with the stench of decay. I clutched at my chest, feeling as though my heart
A Luna's Silent Tears 17. Lucienne?
~Killian~“Ever since we brought her back she remained like this, Alpha Killian. All day and all night. It's like she is trapped in her own subconscious or something. Nothing we do seems to alert her of her surroundings just staring at the ceiling.” The Doctor said and I nodded, masking the sad feeling I felt these past few days after hearing there was just a tiny progress on Lucienne. I couldn't tell how long I stood there, staring at her and thinking of what to do. The last time I approached her, she didn't notice me but I decided to give it another go today. Maybe, hopefully, she sees me. “Lucienne,” I called softly and waited for a while but nothing. I noticed she was a bit stiff and after confirming it was okay to put her in a sitting position, the nurses helped me adjust her and I sat beside her, before calling again. “Lucienne, it's me Killian. Can you hear me?”“Killian?” she finally said a word after days of being conscious. My lips immediately turned into a smile and I wa
