Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading!
Moon's pov I watched Beta Norman day and night, barely getting any sleep. I didn’t understand why he wasn’t visiting the caves. He only ever went to the dig site, which wasn’t anywhere near the caves. After five days I was tired, hungry and sick of hiding and climbing up into trees smelling worse than shit. Couldn’t Tabitha have made a better smelling potion?! The more I was by myself the more I remembered and the worse I felt. There were some good memories too, a lot of them. But it made me feel like crap everything even more. I could have had a good life with Kai, if all this hadn’t happened. I was focused on my revenge, but it went too fucking slow. I needed Beta Norman by himself, so I could attack him and stop whatever else he was planning. I tried to keep my eye on Beta Norman, but it was Kai that drew my attention. He walked out of the campsite and went into the opposite direction of the dig site. He kept walking and I followed him. It was obvious he was trying to reach me.
Kai’s pov I hated sleeping here. I hated having to pretend all day and follow that fucker around. And I hated the way Mona made me feel. She made me mad, she made me doubt myself and for fuck sake, she made me crave her. Why the hell did she have to be naked so damn much?! It was impossible being around her. All I wanted was to take her, to fuck her senselessly and I got the feeling she was feeling the same way. Especially when she blushed and looked at me. It reminded me of how she used to look after we kissed. I wanted to take care of her when I saw how tired she looked. Fuck, why did she mess with my head so much?! I rejected her for fuck’s sake. How would I be able to believe anything, if I was influenced by whatever else I was feeling? How could I know if she was telling the truth, when my feelings were all over the place. I wanted to hurt her for what she did to my sister and fuck her for looking so amazing. I ate something and during breakfast, Beta Norman came to see me.
Moon’s pov I waited for Kai to wake up, to see the sign on the tree, so I could warn him. But when he came out of his tent, he was talking to Beta Norman. They left with a group of six people and there was no way for me to contact him, without revealing myself to them. Beta Norman wouldn’t hurt Kai here right? There would be six witnesses? “Helena said she would kill the workers too. Moon, you have to follow them. Save Kai.” Angela said, sounding scared. I followed them and watched them dig. I got momentarily distracted, by seeing Kai all sweaty and digging into the ground. Shit, wouldn’t anyone? I just needed to get him alone. “So you can save him, right? Not for the other things you’re thinking about.” Angela said. Yeah, to save him. It wasn’t like he wanted me for anything else. He always looked at me with disgust, well, most of the times at least. I didn't pay much attention to the workers. I was focused on Kai and watched him dig for hours, until Beta Norman asked Kai to c
Moon’s pov “I need your help.” “Moon, what happened?” Racheal replied. “It’s Kai, Racheal. He’s dying. I can’t take him back to the campsite, because Helena and Beta Norman were the one who tried to kill him.” I felt like I waited for hours. I had used Kai’s shirt to bandage his arm, used his belt to make the stump stop bleeding. Fuck, I didn’t know what I was doing, but I hoped it was enough. I dragged Kai as far as I could, through the rogue territory. Hoping that no one would spot us. Every time I dragged him, my wound would open up again. Racheal had asked Alpha Malcom to send a car. I didn’t know if we could trust him, but Racheal said to wait and talk to Alpha Malcom. That he shared something interesting with her. “What did you tell Alpha Malcom?” I asked her, worried about people attacking the Wolvin pack, if they found out I was still alive. “I told them we needed help, that one of our members stayed behind and was hurt badly. It’s basically the truth.” “So he still thi
Moon's pov I woke up to whispering. “.. that’s her?” “Yes, that’s your granddaughter.” Alpha Malcom said. “She looks like her mother. Just as beautiful as my Freya.” I felt Mary wake up next to me and she said up straight. Softly stroking my hair, trying to wake me up. I was scared to open my eyes. Would he hate me? It might have not been my choice, but it were my hands that held the knife that stabbed his daughter. “You can do this, Moon.” Angela said, urging me to open my eyes. When I did, I saw Alpha Malcom and my grandfather. He was the same man from my memories, only older. He had some grey hairs and some wrinkles, but he didn’t look as old as a human would. We age differently, so he looked about forty years old, while he must be in his sixties by now. “Mona.” “It’s Moon now,” Mary said protectively, “Alpha Moon.” I smiled at Mary, “it’s fine, Mary. Could you excuse us for a minute?” I mindlinked her, “if he wanted me dead, he would have killed me in my sleep. I’ll be
Kai’s pov I was trapped inside that cave for hours, but it could have been days for all I knew. All I felt was pain everywhere, but the worst part was being trapped and feeling like I couldn’t breathe. It was dark and cramped and I was losing hope, the longer it took for Moon to get me out. In all honesty, it came as a relief when I got knocked out. Or died? I don’t even fucking know. It went black and I felt this sense of peace. Then I felt nothing for a while, just amazing numbness. But it was like something was pulling me back and there was this euphoric feeling that washed over me. Like this pull to something or someone. I had to come back. Everything was still dark and it was freaking me the fuck out. Was I still trapped in that cave, only I didn’t feel it? Had my body died, but had my spirit remained stuck there? I knew Moon was trying to get me out, but maybe she had been too late. Dad. Dad! Beta Norman said he was killing my dad, slowly. Fuck, I needed to go back. I neede
Moon’s pov I had been wanting Kai to wake up and at the same time I had dreaded it. What would he say? What would he do? Would he hate me even more if he found out what I did? I knew I had to be the one to tell him. If he was going to hurt someone in his anger or pain, it should be me. But Kai surprised me by doing the exact opposite. He was kind and he wanted to stay at my pack. Was he in shock? He barely responded to losing his arm or losing his dad. He loved his father, I knew he did. So was he holding everything in? Was he like me, focusing only on revenge or he would break? But for once, I wasn’t the target of his revenge. That fucking bastard Norman was. I didn’t know how he killed Alpha Tallon, but I knew it was him. What Kai said, only proved it. When Kai was checked out of the hospital, I picked him up with Racheal and she drove us to my pack. Kai and I sat in the back. I had no clue why he wanted to stay here. Absolutely none. “He said he was sorry about not believing y
Kai’s pov I saw a smile for the first time in years, when I talked to Moon about our shared past. It made me feel better too, remembering a time before all this crap happened. I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing. I was trying to be nice to her, show her I had changed, but there was too fucking much going on. I lost my dad. No, I didn’t lose him, he was fucking killed and I couldn’t even say goodbye. I was worried about my mom, worried about my pack and I was fucking pissed I lost my hand. But I knew I couldn’t take any of that out on Moon. She had saved me and I knew it couldn’t have been an easy choice to take my hand. But what she felt worse about, was marking me. Yeah, it surprised me and it messed with my fucking head. But it wasn’t something that was gone, like my hand. It was a new chance to get to know Moon. To look inside her head and see what she was hiding. Because fucking hell, was she good at suppressing her emotions. “Takes one to know one.” Ronin said. I growle
