Semua Bab Heart of blood and roses: Bab 41 - Bab 50

"I should leave, thank you once again miss for showing me kindness and saving my life, if I could return the favor in this life I would not hesitate."I stood like a fool on the door frame, holding the door with one hand and the wall with another hand. "What did you just say?"He looked at me with a confused expression on his face. "I should leave, the rogue would not show mercy on me if he returned and you should be careful as well. They don't hesitate before killing anyone."I shook my head. I could not focus on what he was saying my entire focus was on what he had said earlier. It could not be a coincidence. His pack died 50 years ago and I know only one pack that vanished around the same time but there were no survivors. Maybe it was shot in the dark."No, about your pack."He blinked a few times, looking right and left in the corridor. "My pack was killed almost fifty years ago," he repeated once again in his frail voice. "Where did your pack reside?"He once again looked a

Silence.It was loud in the car as we moved toward the pack.The silence was filled with loud disagreements, questions, and anger."We don't know anything about the attackers?""Not yet," Alpha answered Bernadette as she sat beside me with her eyes stopping on the new man every once in a while who was clearly intimidated by the presence of all powerful wolves in the car. I wanted to reassure him but thought it was better if I did not say anything. "Do you think they were sent by some Alpha?" Bernadette's questions were not stopping, she looked ready to fight."They were rogues," Alpha answered in his usual calm tone.Arwin's entire body stiffened like a corpse.He was not looking at anyone but at his hands, or the tiny bony fingers that were showing out of his long sleeves. Once again Bernadette stared at Arwin, not being subtle at all. She was reminding him continuously he was not a member of the pack, but neither was I."So they just happened to be there?" she once again asked

"I have seen cases, where wolf fails to show up because of trauma but it is still present."I kept staring at Arwin blankly, not knowing how to respond, it was big. I could have a wolf. But I could not let my expectations get high, this happened already when I was at Nora's house, I thought I was not so different after all but I only got the taste of disappointment, maybe Arwin was wrong too. "It is a long shot and there are many things to prove this whole theory wrong," I shook my head.Arwin was looking around the room making me wonder if he was listening to me at all. "I never said I am right, Luna. This is just what I have seen over the years.""You do not have to call me that."He frowned, "Luna?"I nodded, not saying anything else. It was not the right term for me, the position of Luna was meant for Chelsea or someone else from the pack, someone who could guide them...who could protect them. It was not just a title, it was a responsibility, I was not worthy of the title."But

A table was the only thing separating us. I sat in front of Alpha not uttering a word, it felt like hours had passed. I inhaled a deep breath. "You went alone to talk to him?""Is that what you got from this entire story?" I shook my head at him. "Yes, you went to talk to him alone," his voice was calm like he was talking to a child. "It is not important, we need to focus on the major issue, this pack might be in danger.""Or, hear me out," he put his index finger in front of him, "he might be fooling you.""Why would he be fooling me? What would he possibly get from it?" I was trying to keep the annoyance out of my tone, "spending his life in this prison, where he can not leave or do anything when he wants to."He let out a humorless laugh in response, "Look around, princess, this is one of the strongest packs and anyone would be lucky to be part of it. He'll get everything here, all the things a rogue could dream of."I stared at him in disbelief, his voice was filled with arrog

"How do you know it was not some wolf?"The room's temperature was low at night but from all the questions and the fear of Alpha Orion not believing Arwin was making me sweat. I wiped my forehead with my sleeves. "I have spent my entire life running away from that night," Arwin inhaled a deep breath, "but it was always catching up with me. That night left a mark on my soul, I can feel the same darkness in this pack that I felt on the night of the red moon."I looked between Alpha and Arwin. It was difficult to tell what Alpha was thinking. His hand was folded into a fist which was in front of his mouth, he was tapping the table in a rhythmic motion while Arwin sat in front of him barely looking at his side."Then tell me 'Arwin' what else did you find about the moon ?"Arwin was looking at his hands, unlike the last time he was here with me when he kept looking at the things in the room. "No one knows anything about the red moon entirely, it is a mystery that died with the people o
