The Alpha’s deaf Luna

'Grace, my love, please wake up'  my mum mind links as I stir in my sleep. I murmur , not wanting to wake up. Why would she want to wake me up now, in the middle of the night? Maybe I'm just dreaming about this whole thing.

I roll over, sleep overcoming me.

'Grace, please'

I groan, trying really hard to wake up. She doesn't sound happy.

'Is everything fine mummy?' I ask, still half asleep.

'Grace, you need to get up and run. We're under attack from a rogue pack. Your father and I managed to hide your sister away somewhere safe but we can't get to you'

'Where are you, mum?'

'The library. I tried to get to you and I was so close but a rogue got to me before I could reach you and knocked me out. I'm tied up. There's too many of them so I need you to get out of bed and run away from here as fast as you can. Use the door in daddy's office and the secret passageway to get out. Run to the neighbouring packs and when you get there tell them what happened and then wait there for us to come and get you. Do you understand ?'

'Yes, mummy!

'Good girl. I love you Grace.'

'I love you too mum.'

'Run’

I sit up quickly and reach over to my bedside table. I fumble my hand around in the dark, trying to find my hearing aids. My hands connect with the cold plastic and I grab them and put them in as my bedroom light turns on and I come face to face with two large men.

Rogues.

I study them for a split second, frozen in place. Maybe I will blend into the duvet if I'm still enough. The man on the left is taller than the man on the right. Both of them have dark hair and black eyes, a mixture of dirt and blood covering their bodies. I bite my lips, trying to hold back a scream.

"Hello there, sweetie," the man on the left says in what I hear as a mumble. I whimper as they get closer, still frozen with fear.

"What's your name?" the other one asks with an evil grin. I shake my head and shuffle back against my headboard.

'Mummy?!' I mind link. No answer.

'Daddy? Please?' Still no answer.

"I said what's your name girl?" the man asks again, his voice rising, anger clear in his tone. I whimper and point at my hearing aids, more tears falling down my cheeks. The men look at each other before looking back at me.

"Are you deaf?" The one on the left asks loudly, his smile darkening. I whimper again and nod. He grins at the other guy before looking at me.

"How old are you?" he grunts. Not wanting to make him any angrier, I shakily hold up eight fingers

"Oh, this should be fun," he says chuckling as he walks over to me. A scream manages to finally escape my throat, more tears rushing down my face as I curl up into a ball in fear.

The man stops for a moment and pulls out some black leather gloves from his back pocket. He puts them on before pulling out a pair of silver handcuffs. My heart stops.

Suddenly, he grabs my hands, yanking my arms behind my back as he turns me around, cuffing me. The silver burns into my skin. Just as daddy had warned me. I scream out in pain, sobs falling from my lips and he does the same with my ankles before taking the gloves off. I continue to cry, not daring to move as it will make the burns worse.

Deathly still, I watch as the shorter of the two men walks over to me, an evil smile spread across his face. He proceeds to pick me up and carries me in his arms towards the door and out of my room.

I start screaming again, thrashing and kicking to try and loosen his grip on me but it only makes the burns worse.All of a sudden,he stops and the taller man turns around and walks up to the rogue and I.

He looks at me grinning and touches my hearing aids. Oh no, he's noticed them.

"You won't need these anymore " he says loud enough for me to hear him clearly, still smiling. Time slows as he rips my hearing aids out of my ears, dropping them on the ground and stepping on them,crushing them into a million pieces.

I cry even harder as the dull ringing fills my ears. The pain of the burns starts to take over and I start to see black spots.

'Mum?' I try mind linking again. Nothing. I really hope she and daddy and Claire are okay. My eyes start to flutter and the last thting I see is the back of the other man as we walk out the door and towards a car.
