LUNA
Perhaps she was not going to have the chance to glance at the sunlight. It had been a month since she had been sitting in the dungeon, her mates had promised to do something about it. However, she hadn't seen any improvement nor been taken out.After she had brought threat to the pack she had grown into. She had gotten rid of the threat with most people by her side, she had thought getting rid of the threat she created was going to make her belong to the pack but she was thrown into the dungeon.She never knew what they wanted to do her now.She had always hidden all her life, always finding solace in her room and when she decided to get a little bit of freedom and found her mates. Everything crumbled when she was scented by the hybires and became wanted. All thanks to her vampire mate, she was able to overcome the hybires and get rid of them.She took in a deep breath as she glanced out the dungeon rods. She was clutching tightly to it and gazing out of the cell. It was dark but she could see clearly, her dungeon was far away from the other criminals of the pack. She wasn't a criminal, just a taboo to the pack.She was glad she was at least thrown into the dungeon than other hybrids who were executed if they were found. Since the werewolves were enemies with the vampires, she had no right to say what they wanted to do to her. She was both and she had both mates from each of the species.Her life had been a mess from the start, from losing her Vampire mom to the hands of the hybires who wanted her, to having a bestfriend who her father thought was imaginary to hiding her identity. Now she was trapped in the dungeon and she guessed everyone would have heard the news about the future Luna being in the dungeon.Footsteps echoed in towards the dungeon, she jolted back to reality and watched the shadow of the person approaching. She moved away from entrance, ever since she had been put in the cell none of her mates had visited her. Although Ashford, her vampire mate, had stayed with her throughout the day she was thrown into the dungeon.He had promised to get her out, even though it was already a month. She still believed Ashford was going to get her out. The footsteps stopped in front of the bars, she couldn't see the face of the person, it was a man and he was putting on a long black coat. He squatted in front of her and her eyes came in contact with a pair of sparkling blue eyes."Ashford!" She squealed in excitement."Shh!" He placed his hand over his lips. "Don't be too loud, I am still here."She moved closer to the cell and gave him a warm smile. She was so happy to see him and he was smiling back at her. She pushed her hand through the bars and pinched his cheek."What took you so long to visit me?" She questioned. "Were you ashamed of me because I am locked up in the cell?"She knew it was none of the above, he was probably busy to visit her everyday. Ashford touched her nose through the bars and the corner of his lips curled into a smirk."Kitten, I am getting you out today. I was not able to visit you everyday and I had to sneak in today." He said, holding her hand his eyes flickered with hope. "I am not ashamed of you and you are coming back home."Luna's eyes widened in surprise, not that she was surprised that he was going to get her out. She was surprised that she was actually getting out today. She opened her lips to speak but he released her and sped away without any word. Her fingers gripped around the bars as she glanced out trying to catch a glimpse of him but he had disappeared."What part of the dungeon is the Altamunar kept in?" A voice asked.Luna's head swung towards the direction of the voice. Had they been calling her that name since she was in the dungeon? Her name was Luna but after going through half the book at the werewolf palace, she found out that her real name was Altamunar according to the prophecy. The combination of the two goddess of Lunar Crest names.The men stopped in front of the dungeon, she watched them open the bars and stepped away for her to come out."You can come out now Altamunar." The first man said with a smile on his face. "It's time to go back home."Luna blinked her eyes and stood to her feet, she was really going home. Ashford had helped her get out of the dungeon, she stepped out of the dungeon and felt relief washed through her. She was finally getting out of the dungeon after a long time.The men led her away from the dungeon, she glanced over her shoulder and found Ashford staring at her. She flashed him a bright smile and he responded with a grin.Luna nodded. “She isn't like them; she is a hybrid.”At the mention of her being a hybrid, Ashford and Bartram's eyes rounded in shock.“She is also a werewolf vampire.” Bartram inquired.“She doesn't look like she has the blood of a vampire to me,” Ashford muttered.“She isn't like me. She is a mermaid and a werewolf.”Another wave of surprise washed through them.“You mean to tell me that mermaids are still in existence?” Ashford asked.Luna scowled at him. “If vampires and werewolves exist, why wouldn't mermaids?”“Because it is said that they died a long time ago,” Bartram replied.Alice nodded her head behind Luna. “My father was the last merman before he gave birth to me.”“Oh.”Luna was confused; all mermaids and mermaids were dead except her father, and now he birthed her to continue the reigns of mermaids.“Alice said her father was the last merman, and there were no others of their species. He mated with a werewolf and gave birth to her,” Luna explained.“That explains a lot
Luna smiled at the girl. “I'm Luna, from Lunar Crest. Nice to meet you.”“Are you the mate of the Alpha?” Alice asked.“Yes,” Luna answered, “but my name is Luna.”Alice smiled. “I thought it was the title I got from being that Luna of the pack.”“No, it isn't.”“I'm from Cruster Toon,” Alice muttered.“Siblings!” Luna uttered.“Yup!”They went quiet. Luna glanced at Phoebe and Millie. Phoebe winked at her before leaving the class.'Be a good girl, Luna,' Phoebe said, mind-linking her.'You say that to a little kid,’ Una snapped.Luna wondered if Phoebe heard that; apparently, she didn't.“I hope you enjoy the class,” Alice said.Luna smiled. That was the first female she was talking to who was from Cruster Toon. She nodded her head in reply, and soon the class began.“To control water, you have to embrace water like it was your second body,” Millie said, moving her hand, and the liquid followed the movements.Luna listened attentively as the class went on. Millie was a great teacher,
Luna returned his smile. “Good morning.”“Do you know Luna?” Phoebe chimed in as she shoved Trevor off and sat next to her. “Adrian told Alexa to take the other carriage.”“Ouch, that hurts!” Trevor grunted as he landed on his butt.Luna didn't look pleased. “Okay? Did she agree to that?” “She did it with gritted teeth,” Tristan replied. “She might go against you at school.”“She doesn't have any elements.” Trevor chimed in. “She can't stand a chance against Luna, who has all four elements.”Luna was stunned. “How come she has no elements?” “She doesn't have an element, but she does control water. I have no idea how that works; she didn't get anything after the test, but after using that water element. The teachers agreed for her to be in the water class.” Phoebe explained. “The teacher was convinced that it was a mistake that she got the water element, but we were not convinced,” Trevor stated.“Who are we?” Luna questioned. “The three of us,” Phoebe answered. “I have no idea if
The next morning, the sound of the birds could be heard as Luna opened her eyes. There was a warm sensation next to her, and she realized that it was Ashford. Raising her head, she sat up; he had his hair down and his eyes closed. She blushed; he was handsome when he slept.She brushed the strands of his hair off his forehead and leaned in to kiss it. A smile crept up her lips, and she kissed his forehead again. She wanted to do something to him before he woke up. She got out of bed and walked to her dressing mirror. She picked up a lipstick and walked back to him.Moments later, after she had her bath, she walked towards the dining room where her father was setting. “Good morning, Father.” Bartram turned around to look at her. “Morning, Wildcat. Trust your night was good.”“It sure was; I had no idea I fell asleep like that.” She pulled out a chair and flopped her butt on it before grabbing an apple on the table.“You slept like a log; was the training draining?” Bartram asked.
“I think it is unsafe for her.’’ Ashford voiced out. “She is a hybrid, and you want her to stay in the packhouse filled with werewolves.”“What's that supposed to mean? Adrian demanded. “She is my mate and is still going to live in the packhouse sooner or later.”Ashford's brow arched. “You are delusional. “Not only do you not care about her, you also think highly of yourself.”Adrian's fist tightened.“Are you already thinking about a future with a mate who almost rejected you? You are really delusional.” Ashford murmured, his gaze piercing into Adrian.He had read Adrian's mind, although he wanted to stop the mind-reading. He couldn't; it was easier for him to beat Adrian in an argument that way.“Why wouldn't I think of a future with my mate?” Adrian questioned. Ashford never thought that he was going to admit it. He could see that Adrian was controlling himself to not snap.“You shouldn't do that now.” Ashford pressed. “She feels unsafe with you, and you want her to leave next to
“I never expected him to pack this much,” Luna said as Ashford set out for a picnic in the woods.The picnic was in a garden that she had no idea was next to the pack. However, she wondered how the garden got there.“I created the garden,” Ashford informed her. “I didn't get to show you before, but this is the place where I come whenever my mother makes me mad.”“You don't come here anymore?” She peered at him.“Yes.”“Why?”He sat down on the mat that was on the floor, and she did the same.“I found you, so I came to your house instead of this garden.”Luna blushed. “So that means that you care about me more than your garden?”“Isn't that what it sounds like?” Her face flushed harder, and she looked away from him. “What fruit do you have?” He asked. “Maybe an orange.” She replied without looking at him.He picked up an orange and began peeling it for her. She peeked at him before finally looking at him. He handed the orange to her as soon as he was done peeling it.“I was wonderin
