I squinted my eyes are the brightness of the light, stirring me awake from my unconsciousness.
Then there was a dull throb behind my head as I blinked my eyes open. Where the hell was I?
I tried to remember the last occurrence I was in and realized, I was rushing towards a subway station, collectively recapping the pile of essays I would need for my presentation and then the next...I was in a hospital room with the smell of it assaulting my nostrils.
I gently sat up, or tried to when a firm hand pressed against my shoulder, restraining me.
"Take it easy." A rich baritone velvet like voice soothed.
My head snapped towards the origin of the voice before I found myself staring into a pair of piercing emerald eyes and incredibly handsome features.
His dark hair was tousled and it accentuates his chiseled features giving him an undeniably attractive appearance.
A faint shadow of stubble lined his sharp jawline, and I couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like against my skin.
Wow, where did he come from? I thought to myself as his presence sent waves of butterflies to my stomach.
"Wh..who are you?" I croaked as my throat felt as dry as the Sahara.
"Zane." He replied. "Zane Blackwood." His brows contorted into that if confusing and concern. "You don't remember me?"
I tried to shake my head but the sharp pain that course through my head made me wince. "I'm sorry, I really don't remember. Is there a problem? What happened to me?"
Zane reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear, his touch sending a jolt of electricity through my body. It was definitely unlike anything I'd felt before. Get a grip Keira.
"You were attacked Luna." He finally explained, staring at me deeply in the eyes, his gaze narrowing slightly and with familiarity, while I was still here trying to wrap my head around what is going on. "We found you barely unconscious in an alleyway. What were you even doing there. You don't really like to leave the pack."
"Luna?" I whispered, the name seeming foreign on my lips. That wasn't my name. I was perplexed as I studied the man before me, searching for perhaps a flicker of recognition.
His face was a complete mystery, no matter how much I tried to recognize him, he was just unfamiliar.
"I think there's been a mistake." I stated, the confusion laced in my tone. "My name's Keira. Keira Evans. I work as a teacher at Westbrook High School."
I watched as Zane's eyes widened before his features settled into a grim mask that sent shivers down my spine.
"You're Luna Blackwood, mate to the Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. You've been missing for weeks and we've searched everywhere for you?"
"What?" Mate? Alpha? Pack?
Those words held absolutely no meaning to me. I felt fear creep it's way into my chest. What is this delusional situation i had suddenly stumbled into?
And before I could even voice my opinion, the door swung open and two more men walked in. Their presence was imposing, something that commanded nothing but respect.
The first man was tall with broad shoulders and sun-kissed skin. His eye color was molten gold which held a smoldering intensity that... wouldn't like... stole my breath. He had his expression guarded, but I could see his features soften in relief as his gaze landed on me.
The second man was leaner than the first but no less intimidating. He had some sort of roguish charm that radiated off him like an intense heat. He had a lazy grin on his face and blond locks. He winked at me, something that made my stomach flutter in ways I didn't know it could. My cheeks flushed crimson.
Oh my gosh get a grip Keira. I was acting like a hormonal teenager around these guys.
"Thank the moon you're already Luna." The blonde guy stated, advancing towards me to stand at my bedside. He reached for my hand I instinctively flinched...he paused, a flicker of confusion and hurt flashing across his handsome face.
"Who are you people?" My voice came out more boldly than I expected. But I was already frustrated and needed answers. "I'm not Luna you all keep mentioning. My name is Keira...Keira Evans. And I'm clueless about what is going on here."
The three men exchanged weighted glances, a silent conversation passing between them. Finally, the golden-eyed Adonis spoke, his deep baritone rumbling with authority that sent a shiver down my spine.
"You're Luna Blackwood, the true mate of Alpha Zane and the Luna of our pack." His gaze bore into mine as though he was trying to make me remember something. "We're your mates, bound to you by an unbreakable bond. I'm Ryder, Ryder Stone and this is Caleb Rhodes."
He gestured to the blond man who gave me a reassuring smile that did very little to ease the panic growing in my throat.
"No way is that possible,” I argued, choking with each word I uttered at what seemed like high pitched tones ‘I have never seen any of you before in my life’. I’m just an ordinary person, a high school teacher who leads a rather mundane life in New York City. "
This weight of their stares upon me, as if they were capable of physically pinning me to the ground and the urge to shrink into nothingness, to simply cease to exist in this strange, twisted reality I had unwillingly found myself in. Were they crazy, or was this situation making me crazy?
Yes, finally, Zane took my hand with that gentle but firm grip of a man whose fingers are coarse from hard work. “I understand that this is hard and you are lost, but you must trust us,” he pleaded, with those piercing emerald green eyes fixed on me. This is where you are our Luna, our mate, and we will always do all we can to assist you in regaining your memory.
Remember? I was fascinated to know how I could remember something that had not even happened. In my stomach there arose an immediate, overpowering wave of panic, as if the emotion would soon smother me in its energy. All I craved so ardently was to wake up from the nightmare and realize that I am safe in my bed in my small apartment in the midst of Brooklyn.
Though, as they stood in front of me, three men with eyes that seemed to burn with the deepest, most savage instincts every human possesses, I knew this was no dream. It was something I could not fathom, existence that was alien to me, but here I was in the midst of that reality without anyone preparing me for it.
Ryder looked at me gently, and he touched my face with his large, coarse hand, and I felt goose pimples run all over my skin. “I won’t let things get this bad for you again Luna. I promise we’ll figure this out. ”
Keira's Pov Flowers rained down on me, and screams and whoops emanated from the audience as I held blood red roses in my hands against the backdrop of my white wedding dress.Armless, showcasing my beautiful shoulders and slender arms.The dress was quite fitted at the waist where it flared out into beautiful pleats flecked with shining stones.Nikkie had spent quite a fortune on the dress. I can remember him ditching the idea of a brand new car he so much wanted just so he would make me pleased.Finally, it was my D-Day. Perhaps the day every woman grew up dreaming of. A day that ought to roll by perfectly without any hitches.The last few months had easily been the worst months of my life, but now, walking in the aisle, with Emily behind me as my best lady, my father's arm linked in mine, I felt like the happiest person in the universe.Finally, I was given to Nikkie and he took my hand in his. There was a shattering applause as he did so, and he opened my veil, his lips broadening
Luna's PovI woke up the next morning, yawning. I was alone on the bed, naked, and a smile crept onto my face.The memory of the previous night lingered like the aftertaste of sweet wine.“She's still asleep.” I heard Lily protest from outside.“I know. Just let me in.” That was Elaine.I got up from the bed, hair cascading over my shoulders, as I crossed the room to get my robe.Throwing it over my body, I went out to see what it was all about.“It's fine, Lily,” I said, going over to the long table to pour myself some water.“Luna, something strange happened this morning.” She said, and I dropped my glass, staring at her with my heart pounding a little faster.Something strange?The past few months held the strangest occurrences in all my life. What other thing could be stranger?I cleared my throat.Fear was definitely not the way to get around it.“What is it?”“Everyone else has forgotten. Nobody remembers there being two Lunas. They all think I'm crazy.”“How can nobody remember
Keira's PovThat evening was set to be perfect. I'd already dyed my hair a beautiful brown and had combed it perfectly down my shoulders in waves.Then I selected a white gown with straps knotted into a ribbon at the shoulder. The dress was way above my knees, and hung gently on my figure, managing to outline the pretty curve of my body, and atrocious flare of my hips.Placing a simple silver choker on my neck, I paired it with short dangling silver earrings, and a pretty bracelet on my wrist.Then I tucked my hair behind my ear, and put on a pair of white heels, coupled with a white handbag.When I went down the stairs, Emily dropped the sliced watermelon from her mouth back into her plate as she watched me.I smiled, biting my lip, as my eyes went down shyly.“Girl! You are dressed to kill!” She sat up, dropping the plate on the table next to her.“Is it too much?” I asked, spreading out my arms.“What did you expect? My daughter is beautiful, so whatever she wears makes her all the
Luna's Pov“Don't kill her yet.” Ryder said, taking my hand gently.“Oh. I actually didn't mean to kill her. I just wanted to show her how much her stupid tactics had gotten to me. Don't tell me she's out cold?” Ryder knelt to touch her neck.“Yes, she is out cold.” He confirmed.“Let go of me! You mad tyrant!” We heard Damien scream as Caleb brought him back roughly, pushing him to the ground.“Dark magic, huh? You rotten piece of shit.” Zane couldn't hold himself. He began to hit Damien, flinging him all around.“There goes the person you ought to control.” I said, jerking my head in Zane's direction as he battered the helpless Damien. “You know what I'd prefer for these two idiots as punishment?”Zane stopped, breathing hard, “What would that be?” He asked.“Put them in the dark dungeon. No light, no life, nothing. Put them there for the rest of their days. Forever.” I smirked, looking at Valerie.She would be the one to freak out the most. She would be the one to hate that life th
Keira's Pov“Keira, hurry! Breakfast will get cold!”My eyes fluttered open slowly.“Keira! Come on, how long do you have to sleep?”Mom.My eyes hit the ceiling— a familiar memory.Damn…I sat up in bed hastily, but winced slightly. I was still in bloody clothes with the slashes Zane had given me.But…“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH!” I screamed, then began to jump, not minding the pain. I bounced on the bed, the tables, a little sofa, and back to the bed.“Keira, what…?” Mom opened the door, and I flung myself at her, knocking her backwards.“Mom!” I shouted, tears filling my eyes quickly.“What's wrong with you? Why are you this way?”“Mom.” I cried again, burying my face in her chest, taking in her lovely scent sweetly.“What's going on? What's with the noise?” Dad asked, and I ran to him, “Woah, woah, hold on!” He had to drop the flower pot he was holding just so he could catch me in his arms.“Keira, what's with your clothes?”“I was scratched by a dog.” I cried, lying convenientl
Luna's PovIt was a feeling of relief as I fell to the ground, losing control of everything. The shock in Zane's haughty eyes was to die for.How sorry he would be when he realized his mistake. My eyes closed, and an insane shock ran through my bones. Energy from different cells burst to life, flowing through my veins like burning blood.I could feel my claws protrude from my fingers, and when my eyes slammed open, it was with a smile.Then I jumped up, full of energy, and everyone backed away, putting lots of feet between us, fear etched into their faces.“Welcome back.” Maini said, as I touched my arms, looking at my own body in fascination.“It is good to be back. Damn, I feel capable.”I wanted to smash my fist into something, wanted to hurl someone into the distance.Anything just to release the amount of energy surging through me like a torrent.Zane bent, staring at Keira.“That's not me. I'm over here.” I said, shooting him a grin.He looked confused, and Keira's eyes fluttere
Luna's PovI buckled up, ready to storm that damned festival, and put a stop to the whole thing. I would drag Valerie and Damien out, then give them the harshest spanking of their lives. They would regret ever trying to take my place. “Let's go.” I said to Elaine, and she followed me without many words, “So have you met your doppelgänger?”“Yes, I've met her. She'd almost lost all her memories, but she didn't know what to do, where to start from, so she just regarded this as a nightmare. She felt she was in a coma in the real world, and this is perhaps the world comatose people fall into. Comatose, my foot.” Elaine chuckled. “Well, better for her to think she's comatose, or she'd have gone crazy.”“Luna, do you think this is a good idea?”“If it's not a good idea, then what else could it be? Eventually, we’ll have to confront them.” I said, brushing my hair. Red hair really sucks on me, by the way. Elaine didn't say anything else out of fear of uncertainty until we got to the festi
Keira's Pov‘How disrespectful!’ Maini spat from within me. I could feel her anger burning, the heat spreading, threatening to consume my whole body with the force, ‘Do as your Luna commands!’ She snarled, and my claws slid out without me even making them to. The fangs also sliced their way out, and the next few minutes was a complete bloodbath. I didn't even know what I was doing. All I knew was that blood was splashing onto my face and chest in all directions. Bones snapping, blood gushing, men screaming, teeth falling out, flesh pierced…Maini wielded my body like a weapon as I dodged, smashed, thrust, grabbed, struck, and did everything with immense speed and depth. Before I knew it, I was standing, breathing hard, my chest heaving heavily, blood dripping from my fingers as the men lay everywhere around me.“Perfect.” I heard Luna say, as she began to clap. Then I turned to her, with a little smile, “Thanks to Valerie, I was able to strengthen Maini.” I replied, a little shy
Luna's PovWe all stared at each other as the moon rose higher in the sky.“This is it for us, I guess,” Nikkie said, and I found myself stuck in his beautiful eyes that seemed to hold all the sorrow in the world.“If you look so sad, then I really won't be able to go,” I replied softly.“You both are not in another country or city where we can give a call, or send a letter. You're going to another world entirely. The moment you go now, you will never return.” Emily said, her eyes already filling up with tears, and Elaine hugged her. “We're all going to be okay. Just know that we're going to miss you too.” She said, patting Emily's head, and I moved to Nikkie on my knees, bringing him closer to me in a hug. “The heavens know how much I'll miss you. You've been the major source of my change. I'm grateful for all you've done for me, Nikkie.” Then I pulled away, and hugged Emily, as Elaine went to hug Nikkie, “You too. I think I'll remember you each time I see a ginger-headed woman. I'
