Orphan Luna Chapter 53
Emma’s POV My toes looked actually really pretty and my feet have never felt so soft. I used Ruth’s facebook to send Liam a picture of my toes. His reply was hysterical, “Ruth why on earth are you showing me your toes?”... “Those are Leo’s”... “Gross!”.... “Hahahahhahaha, no they’re Emma’s. She wanted to make sure you like polish or not. They look pretty huh?” “I do like them… ON EMMA.. and remind me to get her, her own facebook”. Next, we pull up to a very elegant looking building with dresses in the windows. As we walk in, the whole staff is lined up waiting for us. What is going on? “Ruth, dearest! This must be your sister, the bride!”. I immediately feel overwhelmed by the attention and try slinking somewhat. “Oh no you don’t Emma, you get your buns over here!”. Ruth grabs me and pulls me toward the lounge area. I hear a click behind me and see Leo locking the doors behind us, strange. He stays standing by the doors. We enter this back a
Orphan Luna Chapter 54
Emma’s POV I am relieved to be back in my normal, everyday clothes. Apparently we have to come back for a “fitting” so they can hem the gown. I was noticeably drowning in fabric. Lacey is a very sweet woman. We say our goodbyes and Leo has gone to get the car. Ruth and I are walking arm in arm toward the parked car. Suddenly behind us there are screeching tires. I look over my shoulder, recognizing one of the cars. “Ruth, go!”. I shove Ruth toward the car, hoping Leo will grab for her. I make a dash for the car myself but am grabbed by my hair and a bag thrown over my head. I thrash harder than I have ever thrashed. I hear a man groaning and I try running, only to land on the pavement, scraping my hands and knees. I hear Ruth scream and a shuffle. Where the hell is Leo? This is all happening in slow motion. I’m dropped into what I assume is a trunk, hearing a thud followed by screeching tires. Feeling around me, I can only feel the carpet. “Mor, we are definitely
Orphan Luna Chapter 55
Grace’s POV My lab was down all of Monday due to a weird power glitch. Turning on the screens, I am searching for Emma’s results while they’re out shopping. Scrolling through, nothing is of serious note until I see… HcG POSITIVE. Well, this is good news! Unexpected, but fantastic news. I cannot wait to tell Liam and Emma when they’re back home tonight, together. My phone vibrates, “Emma… Ruth… SOS”. What the fuck? It’s from Zak. I instantly call. “Zak? What are you talking about?”. I hear yelling in the background, “Ruth we’re coming up the drive”. He hung up. I run out of my lab and down the corridor. Sprinting, I head to the door. Liam, Zak and Danny come busting through the front doors. Obviously something isn’t right. “Zak, what is happening?”. I dare not talk to Liam with the tension he’s exuding. “Emma and Ruth were taken. We don’t know many details yet. Leo was drugged which is how it happened”. Liam is stalking down the hall to the conference room.
Orphan Luna Chapter 56
**Potential Trigger Warning. Chapter contains violent material** We sneak along the dark spots of the building, spying on the groups of men. There are dozens of women, locked in metal cages. “What the fuck Emma? What is this place?”. I shake my head. “Mor, we can’t leave them here, that is certain”. Our first goal is to find Ruth though. This building is huge. We make our way almost entirely around until we spot her. She’s hog tied and gagged in a solitary cage. No one is guarding her. I look around in all directions and see no one. We sneak forward carefully, looking for traps and see none. Ruth sees me but I motion for her to stay silent and she obliges. Trying to stay on the outskirts of the well lit space, we’re almost to the cage when a well known voice rings, “here kitty, kitty kitty”. “Em, we’re so close, unlatch her cage”. I’m frozen in fear. I don’t know what this man has over me. I can feel Morrigan fighting for control. My fear, drowning her. “Emma, let me o
Orphan Luna Chapter 57
**Potential Trigger Warning** Liam’s POV “Fuck! Did you see that flash?!”, everyone in the truck looks through the windshield toward the mountains in the distance. There was an incredibly bright flash as if a bomb exploded. Suddenly I feel a jolt of pain. It doesn’t go unnoticed. Zak steps on the accelerator, reaching 100 mph. Emma’s POV The silver is burning my skin. They throw the silver chains over a bar above us, hoisting me by my wrists until my toes are barely touching the ground. Thankfully they don’t tighten the silver around my neck, yet. Ezekiel approaches me, looking like he just won a trophy. “Well, well, well. Had no idea you were some sort of wizard… shit”. I say nothing nor do I acknowledge his presence. He must take it as a disrespect when he decides to plant a right hook into my face. The chains tighten around my wrist as I spin from the momentum and I hear Ruth moan through her gag, obviously worried for me. I make eye contact with
Orphan Luna Chapter 58
**Potential trigger warning** Liam’s POV I am feeling all sorts of emotions through the bond and overwhelming amounts of pain. “Fred, how much fucking further?”I grit through my teeth. I am beyond having lost my patience. “Half mile on the left, turn off in the dirt turn off”. We slam on the brakes as we reach the spot and race to the back to unload the bikes. Fred had told us the ride to the top was about 10 miles. Just as I climb on my bike, I feel a searing pain through the bond. I let out a visceral growl. I can see all of the exposed necks around me as I make for the trail. Ian’s POV I have never seen Ezekiel this enraged. After he finishes beating her poor body with the pipe, he comes back with two cinder blocks. What the fuck is he doing? I can’t take this anymore. “Ezekiel, man she’s had enough” I say as I walk up to him. He pushes me aside. “I fucking say when it’s enough. Boys, hoist her up. She wants to kick me, we’ll make sure she can’t move her legs
Orphan Luna Chapter 59
**Potential trigger warning** Liam’s POV Fred signals we’re very close and we can see some lights ahead. We cut the engines, not wanting to alert them. I link for some men to stay on the rigs to come with supplies once we’ve taken over and the rest of us to shift. As soon as we shift, Kalen whimpers. He knows Emma is hurt badly. Fred leads us up a trail. There’s a concrete building up ahead with cars around it. We quietly skirt around the treeline. I’m disgusted by the cages full of women. Looking back at my warriors, they all look enraged. We go just another 500 feet and I stop dead in my tracks. I SEE RED. Zak’s POV We’re sneaking up on the camp, seeing dozens of women caged around this place when Alpha stops dead. He releases a blood curdling growl. I look up to where his gaze is fixed and let out a whimper. Luna is strung up by her wrists, her head is completely limp. Her shirt missing and the word “whore” branded across her bare abdomen. Emma’
Orphan Luna Chapter 60
Grace’s POV Emma is unconscious, pulse in the 30s, blood pressure too low. She is clearly unstable. I get busy working, placing a central line so we can get fluids into her as quickly as possible. I hadn’t yet noticed Liam. When I glance at him, he is a shell of my son. He had pulled back to give us space to work but wanted to be close. “Liam, go ahead and hold that hand, we’re done with that arm. She needs to feel you”. Without a pause, his hand is there. His forehead to the arm. “Liam love, keep holding onto her but I’m going to transfuse your blood into her. She needs blood immediately and we can at least start with some of yours”. He doesn’t hesitate. He exposes his arm, never glancing away from Emma. It is devastating to see him like this. I continue to assess the trauma, taking note of the dislocated shoulders, fractured ribs, femurs… Jesus, did they run her over with a tank? I gently unfold the trauma blanket, discovering the brand on her abdomen read
