Running Away

I’m running as fast as I can.

I’m running for my life, through the rain and

the cold. Oh, I’m so, so cold. But it doesn’t
matter right now. All I can do is keeping
running, the farthest I can, the fastest I
can.

Tears run down my cheeks along with the

rain.

“Come back here! You whore!”

I can hear his voice behind me, and fear
makes me run even faster. He is chasing
after me, shouting like crazy, calling me
terrible names in the night. How can he do
this? How could he do this to me? What did I
ever do to deserve such a thing? He is my
own brother!

I take a turn right in a narrow street, looking

for a place to hide, unsure where to go. Can I
really escape him? The pouring rain is my only
ally, as I know it will cover my scent. I keep
running, barefooted on the asphalt, running
for my life as I try to escape my only family
member...
***2 weeks ago***

“Nora !”

I tremble in fear. The voice calling my voice

from next door freezes my hands
immediately. He walks in, his eyes filled with
anger. I can guess what is coming next. I gasp
and bite my lip. The small kitchen seems way
too narrow at this instant, as I instinctively
step back as he’s approaching closer.

He raises his hand, and before I can say a

word, slaps me.

“Don’t run away when I’m calling you!”

I can feel the burn on my cheek, and do my

best to keep my eyes down. If I look him in
the eyes, he will get even madder. He
unleashes at me, his voice echoing with anger
in the room.

“Why is the food not ready, huh? Everyone is

waiting because of you! Do you feel you can
make everyone wait? Are you happy to make
us wait? You useless trash! The Alpha is even
mad at me because of you!”

The slaps keep coming before I even get a

chance to talk back. He doesn’t care for my
explanation. Why is it so unfair? It’s not my
fault! Rory and Bill came late with the
groceries they were supposed to bring hours
ago! I could only start late, and I did try to
get it done as fast as possible, I really did,
but it was just an impossible task. Why do I
get a beating?

My brother won’t care; he won’t listen to me.

He is just a mad, angry beast. I can only try
to cover my face with my arms as the blows
keep coming.

“Brother, please, stop!” I beg as my tears run

down
“Who are you calling your brother? I have no
useless trash sister like you!”

But I am his sister! We have the same

father, the same mother, how can he say
that? His words are as painful as his hits.
Alec used to care for me. He used to love me,
his little sister, and played with me. But that
was a long time ago, in our childhood.
Everything changed for the worst when our
mom died. He was twelve, and I was eight.
He found my mom and me late at night, a
stormy night, in a bloodbath. I remember the
horror on his face — the shock in his eyes,
and how he ran away from the scene. His
attitude changed completely after that, and
so did the pack.

He finally stops hitting me, out of breath,

still red from anger. It hurts so much. I keep
my arms up around myself, in case he decides
to go at it again. But he steps back.
“Hurry up! I’ll kill you if you don’t hurry up!
You cursed girl!”

He leaves the room, and I slowly lower my

arms, still shaking. I try not to cry as I can
feel tears filling my eyes. I get up and ignore
the pain to go back to the cooking. I hurry up.
I know his threats are real. I can’t talk back,
only concentrate on my task.

I touch the painful areas hesitatingly. It

hurts so bad… New bruises will add to the
ones I already have. Sometimes it hurts for
days, and the pain won’t let me sleep. Can I
ever escape this? Sometimes I’m afraid he
will kill me.

I finally finish cooking and bring the plates to

the dining hall. Many pairs of eyes follow my
every move. Some pack members smirk after
me, some pretend I don’t exist. I prefer the
latter. I keep my eyes down and put one plate
on the table after another, hoping no one is in
the mood to mess with me today.

I’m almost done serving when I can suddenly

feel something on my thigh. A big hand is
gripping me! I get away from the disgusting
touch with a shiver, and realize the hand is
Marcus’. He is more than twice my age and a
real p*****t. I can’t hold a squeak from
disgust and step back hurriedly. At the end
of the table, the Alpha, Vince, hits the table
with his fist as soon as he hears me, making
me jump.

“Nora! Shut up and get out of there! Who

wants to see your face when we are about to
eat! Get out!”
I run away to leave this room filled with looks
of hate and disgust. Some members of the
pack even smirk or whistle when I walk by
them. I raise my hand to touch my scar by
reflex and quickly cover it with my hair as I
exit the room.

I can only breathe again when I finally reach

the empty kitchen. Quietly and quickly, I find
some leftovers from yesterday in the fridge
and fill a small plate to take with me
downstairs. I don’t want to be there when
everyone comes out of the dining room.

The basement of the main house is a large,

dusty room, filled with overused furniture,
broken things and old stuff no one wants.
And me.

I retreat to a yellowish rundown old couch

and sit up to eat my cold lasagna. This place
is where I’m the safest. No one comes here,
and I doubt a lot of people even know I
actually live here. Yes, this is my room. It has
been for the past nine years... I tried to
sort it a little so I could feel a bit comfy, but
I can never get used to it. It’s dusty no
matter how many times I clean it, and there
is just one small window. No heating either.
The winter nights are almost unbearable,
even when I gather all the old clothing and
sheets I can to cover myself.
Facing me, a large broken mirror shows my
shattered reflection.

The scolding from the Alpha comes back to

me. I had forgotten about my scar. I must
have put my hair behind my ear without
thinking while cooking… I don’t like it either.
She runs from my eyebrow to my jaw in an
irregular, vivid red line. I brush my hair with
my fingers, trying to hide this hideous scar
with my dark curls.

I find the girl in the mirror so pitiable…

She’s scrawny, petite and pale. I look like a
sickly kid when I’m already seventeen. I envy
the other girls from the pack. Girls like
Jessica or Amber, with their feminine looks,
curvy bodies, and confident attitude. They
are the same age as me, but it’s like we are
from different worlds. All I can do is try to
live as quietly as possible, avoid my brother’s
wrath and the pack members mean looks.
They all hate me.

Suddenly, I wake up, still on the couch. Oh,

Moon Goddess, did I fall asleep here? My
brother is going to kill me! I get up as quickly
as I can and run to the stairs, but as I exit
the basement, I can already hear him.
“Nora! You useless freak! Where are you
hiding! Wait ‘till I get you!”

I freeze next to the basement stairs. What

time is it? I try to think of something to
explain my absence, but nothing comes to
mind. Alec is yelling again, from outside I
think. He must be looking for me thinking I
went to the forest. Our pack is located in the
outskirts of the city, making it easy for us to
take a run whenever we want to. For those
who can shapeshift….
I take a few steps in the kitchen, hesitating.
Should I try to go to the dining room and
start cleaning up like nothing? I could try
going upstairs to hide in one of the rooms...

Suddenly, a wave of pain hits me from my

scalp. My hair is violently grabbed from
behind, and I lose balance as I’m forcefully
pulled.

“Found her !” Says a feminine voice. “Alec, I

got your bitch sister!”

It’s Amber, not letting me go no matter how

I try to escape her. My brother storms in,
and hits me hard, so hard I hit the floor.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” I beg, sobbing already

“Alec, I’m sorry I just…”
“Won’t you shut the hell up! Where were you
hiding, you bitch! You thought the chores
would get done by itself? Or were you hoping
someone would do it for you, huh?”

“Why the hell is the Alpha keeping this girl,

again? She’s so useless and dumb!” Says
Amber

“I’m sorry, I’ll do it right away! Sorry!” I sob

I get up to reach the sink and run the water
to start washing dishes, trying to keep my
tears in. My brother and Amber keep talking,
but at least he has stopped hitting me. He
won’t get too violent with me whenever
someone else is in the room, especially a girl.

“If you run away or hide from your chores

again I will kill you!” He swears as he exits
the room, followed by Amber who can’t resist
smirking at me.
I’m so sick of it.

When will this stop? This is my hell, day

after day. I've tried running away, I did. But
my brother is way faster than me, and I can’t
outrun any wolf when I can’t shapeshift
myself. I got the worst beating ever when
they caught me. I really thought they would
kill me at that time. But they didn’t.

I wish they just let me go, but where would I

go next? I don’t have any other relatives and
no friends. I’m penniless too. Where would I
go...?
Don’t cry, Nora. Stop.

It's useless.

Not Breathing

His Blue Moon Princess 1803 words

2019-01-15 22:21:28

Don’t make a sound. Don’t cry, don’t move.

I cover my mouth with both hands. I won’t

even breathe. I’m curled up next to a garbage
dumpster, closing my eyes and trying to stop
my erratic sobbing.
I’m so scared I’m shaking like never before. I
close my eyes and start to pray.

Please, don’t let him find me, please, please,

please….

My heart is pounding so loudly in my hears;

I’m deaf to anything else. Even the downpour
seems almost quiet. Never have I been so
scared in my life before.

This time, he will kill me. I’m dead if he finds

me.
Moon Goddess mother, please, don’t let him
find me…

As I can’t hear him yell anymore, I sneak a

peek behind my hideout. Is he gone? Did he
go somewhere else?

“Gotcha! Come here, you whore !”

I scream.

He grabs my hair, and the first blow is so

violent I hit to the ground. The pain is
terrible. My vision goes blurry, tears flow. I
scream again, out of fear, trying to protect
myself. He punches me again, and gets on top
of me, pinning me to the ground.

He keeps hitting me, one punch more violent

than the previous. I keep screaming, crying,
begging, he won’t stop.

I’m going to die.

***1 week earlier***

“Give it to me, I said”

I shake my head, confused.

“I don’t have anything, I swear! He didn’t give
me anything, Alec, he really didn’t! You know
he gives it all to you!”

He growls in anger, but I keep shaking my

head. What is wrong with him? I just got
back from work, and he started searching for
me, even emptied the content of my bag on
the floor, and now he keeps asking me for the
money. What money? He knows Robert gives
him all of my salaries! I never see a single
cent I work so hard for!

Even the customer’s tips, Robert just takes it

from me as soon as my shift is over! I could
never hide any of it! And Moon Goddess
knows I wish I could!

“Why do you ask? Do ... Do you have money

issues again?” I ask

He glares back at me, furious.

“Again? Isn’t that your fault I’m ruined! You

are just a damn waste of money! How can I
ever live in peace if I have to use all of my
money on you! Can’t you work harder? How am
I supposed to make it through with this
measly paycheck you get?”

I’m astounded by his words. How dare he? I

work like a slave all day and night! The Alpha
makes me do all the chores for the pack,
from cooking to laundry, cleaning the whole
house, on my own. And Alec got me this job at
the local pub when I was fifteen, making me
work those crazy shifts for half of the night!
I can only get a few hours of rest at night,
and it is never enough.
He, on the other hand, never had a proper
job. He is twenty-three, but Alec says he
doesn’t need a job because he has to focus on
the pack, for when he will be chosen as the
next Beta. As if that would ever happen. Even
I know there is no way my brother will ever
get that position. No decent Alpha would ever
appoint someone so lazy and self-centered as
a beta.

However, my brother is convinced of it. And

that only makes me act even more arrogantly
and unreasonably. He just spends money
whenever he wants and shows off in front of
his friends while I have to watch. That money
is the one I earn with my sweat, and yet he is
the one who spends it. How can he pretend
I’m the one he uses it on? I don’t own
anything but a few clothes! I don’t even have
a bed, and I have to try and sneak out some
leftovers to be able to eat.

So why is it that now he is now interrogating

me like I’m some thief?

“Anyway, you will be working tomorrow night.”

“What? But I haven’t had a day off in weeks!
And the Alpha wants me to make dinner,
someone from another pack is coming! I will
never make it in time if…”

“I don’t care! It’s your problem, not mine! You

will go to work, and I’ll kill you if you don’t!
And the Alpha better not be angry at me
because of you!”

I stand there, shocked as he exits the room.

What is wrong with him? He has never told
me to do anything that might upset the
Alpha, and now he wants me to go to work?
Either he or the Alpha, one of them will be
mad at me!

I take my head in my hands, so lost. What do

I do now? The Alpha was so adamant about
me preparing all of this diner! Some big shot
from the Blood Moon pack is coming, that is
big for our pack, he will never forgive me if I
don’t help him welcome them.

Our Jade Moon pack is one of the oldest in

the area, but we are not that imposing. There
is about a hundred of us, including the ones
too old to take their wolf form and the few
pups. We have some strong adult wolves, and
our location is one of the bests in the area.

But we are nothing next to the Blood Moon

pack.

I only know what I could hear from other

people's conversations, but that was enough
for me. The Blood Moon pack, despite being
only a few decades old, is the strongest in
the area, and unrivaled. Even the Sapphire
Moon and the Gold Moon packs are no match.
They have grown so prominent in recent
years, that they even had to reorganize into
subgroups under the supervision of their
lieutenants. But the number is not what
makes them so powerful. No, the Blood Moon
pack is so fearsome because it is wealthy,
hungry and ruthless. Some say the Alpha
leads with an iron hand, and no mistakes are
permitted. They're scary, but they are like
royalty among wolves.

Our Jade Moon Pack is on neutral terms with

them, so far. I don’t believe any Alpha leader
would willingly become their enemy.
So what would happen if I ruin this diner? I
can ruin relationships between the two packs,
and lead ours into a disaster! The Alpha will
definitely banish me, or worse.

I try to sleep, but I’m too worried.

What is wrong with my brother? I have seen

him in need of money, but now, he acts like he
has gone crazy! He was even searching in the
basement when I came home, looking for any
money. When I escaped him, I heard him ask
Amber for cash. What kind of trouble did he
get into this time? I don’t like this.

What will I do tomorrow? I can’t do both! My

shift starts at four, and the diner has to be
ready at nine. Should I do as Vince said and
skip work or obey Alec? None of them we let
me off.

Vince hates me as well, and never hesitates

to beat me. I fear his beating more than I
fear my brother’s; he is way too strong.

Either way, this won’t end well for me.

The next day is a nightmare. My brother is
already after me when I’m making breakfast
for everyone, threatening me non-stop.

“You’d better not let me down, Nora. I want

this money, you hear me? You are going to
work as long and as hard as Robert wishes
you, and you better come home with that
paycheck in your hand! Or else you’re gonna
regret it, I swear!”

He just won’t stop until the Alpha comes

downstairs to eat. Vince glares at me, and I
lower my head, as submissive as I can be. A
few other pack members enter after him to
join the breakfast. Among them, Marcus
sends me a lewd glance, making me shiver
with disgust.

“What are you waiting for, you stupid girl?”

Says Amber “Won’t you hurry up and serve us
the food? Want the Alpha to starve or
what?”
To add to her words, Vince growls. I can feel
my wolf whimper inside, afraid. I can barely
feel her nowadays. I serve the breakfast as
fast as I can, feeling the angry eyes of the
Alpha on me. He is not the only one. I can
hear my wolf whining continuously inside. She
doesn’t want to be there, and me neither.

I’m about to leave the dining hall when the

Alpha calls me again.

“Nora. Tonight’s dinner is essential for our

pack. If you make any mistake, you will be
banished of this pack for good, you hear me?”
I glance at my brother, sitting a bit further
from the Alpha, but he acts like normal. Alec
will blame me in any case.

“Nora! ”

I jump. The Alpha got impatient from my

silence. I nod slowly, and he growls once more
before starting his breakfast.

I leave the room, exit the house for fresh

air. What do I do now?

My eyes set on the forest. This green, vast

and beautiful forest. My wolf wants to go;
she wants to run among the trees, feel the
fresh cold air. The autumn’s fallen leaves, the
gentle breeze of the wind, the smell of the
grass. I know. How I wish I could let her out
too…

I bite my lip. I wish I could be a free wolf.

Free of my brother, free of my pack and
free of those painful memories.

Let’s go, please. Can we go? Asks my wolf

No, no, no we can’t. We will die if we do. We

tried running before, remember what they
did to us? We can’t escape…

Dying in the Rain

His Blue Moon Princess 2691 words

“Stop! No! Please, stop!”

I keep screaming, but Alec won’t stop. My

pain and supplications never made him stop
before. And he was never this mad. My head
hurts; all of my body hurts. My arms feel so
weak that I can barely hold them up while
trying to protect myself.

“I’m not done with you, Nora! Stop resisting!

Die! Die! I’m gonna kill ya!”
No, no, no, I don’t want to die! Please, make it
stop! Won’t anyone help? The rain covers all
of my screams. My brother is beating me so
hard, I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to die
here, on the asphalt. How can one take so
much pain? I feel each of his punches. On my
face, on my arms, on my ribs, and even on my
stomach. His fists just mercilessly hit
wherever they can reach.

All of a sudden, he stops.

Is he done? Oh Moon Goddess, I hope he’s
had enough… This pain is killing me. I can
taste my own blood in my mouth and feel
some running on my face, too.

All of a sudden, I feel his hands on my neck.

He is… He’s choking me! I try to fight him,
push him away, but his grip is tightening so
hard around my throat. I can’t breathe, I’m
fighting for air! Let me breathe! Black spots
start blurring my vision, and my head hurts
really badly. I gasp helplessly, but nothing
comes; his hands won’t let go. My hands try
to push him away, but he won’t budge. I see
the look in his eyes. He’s really going to do it.

I feel my consciousness give up.

I can’t see anything. This headache overtakes

it all.

I can’t….
“HEY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”

***1 week earlier***

“I won’t go,” I say

I’m shaking, but I won’t change my mind. Alec
stares at me with a furious look. I ignore him.
I may be afraid of him, but the Alpha’s wrath
is even scarier.

“What, did you say you won’t go? You just

shut up and go already; I am not asking for
your opinion! You bitch!”

I bite my lip and clench my fist holding the

spoon. I try to focus on those appetizers,
ignoring the furious eyes of my brother. Alec
starts yelling at me, as I expected. I can
take his insults. I am no bitch, no whore, no
s**t. I have never once done anything that
could make me deserve these names, but he
keeps going on and on. Why would he call me
such things? I’ve never even been kissed
before or been with a man!

Hang on, Nora. This is not something he’s

never done before.

He slaps me, but I don’t care. I ignore the

pain and keep making those toasts. A new
slap, and one of the appetizers falls on the
floor. Don’t look at him, don’t. Keep going.

“You are gonna go to work right now!” He yells

in the kitchen.

No, I won’t. I know it’s no use talking back, so

I don’t. Even my wolf is proud of me. She is
being fierce, showing her teeth, sharing her
strength with me. We won’t submit to him.
If I don’t make this dinner a success for the
Alpha, not only Vince, but the whole pack will
be mad at me. I know how merciless the
Blood Moon pack can be. That is no joke.
Everyone still vividly remembers how they
destroyed the Snow Moon Clan two years ago.
They didn’t just fight them; they killed all of
those who didn’t pledge allegiance to the
Blood Moon emblem.

Compared to that kind of threat, those of my

brother are definitely not as fearsome.
He keeps the yelling going, but I ignore him.
He slaps me a couple of times, pissed, but
that won’t work. When he suddenly stops, I
raise my head, surprised. The Alpha, Vince,
just entered the kitchen.

“What’s going on here?” Vince asks. “I can

hear you all the way from my office, Alec,
keep it down.”
“Nothing, Alpha. Just telling this eyesore to
work faster...”

“You mind your own business! I need your

sister working. Leave her be and stop
hindering her work. Do you want to be useful?
Go help Greg and Margaret upstairs. And
shut up!”

Alec glares at me, but how is it my fault now?

He has no choice but to obey and exits the
kitchen, towards the stairs. Vince looks at me
with disdain and peeks a glance at my work so
far. It’s not much, but it’s not even 4 pm yet,
and I know I’m going to be ready on time.
Without saying anything, he exits the room.
Apparently, he recognizes I’ve been working
diligently and won’t get mad. I let out a sigh
of relief and go back to my task. At least now
I know Alec won’t dare to come back here.

The hours go by, and I can feel the tension

rising within our pack’s building. Everyone is
anxious about this meeting. Vince came down
to check on my work five times within the
last two hours. But I am proud of everything
I have done and even feel rather confident
about the dinner.

“Nora! Stop daydreaming!”

“So... Sorry Alpha. But I’m almost done!” I

defend myself, showing the completed
dishes.
Vince nods, but won’t compliment me. Then,
he takes a look at me and clicks his tongue. I
glance down. I spent all afternoon cooking,
and thus, my clothes were dirtied. They
weren’t pretty, to begin with, but now… I look
like a beggar. Even my hair is messy.

“I will change into new clothes as soon as I’m

done.”

“Whatever. Just go to your room and don’t

you dare come out tonight. I don’t need the
Blood Moon leaders to see your… face.”

His eyes are set on where my scar is, behind

my hair. I was careful to braid my hair the
right way so my curls would hide it, but it’s no
use, he knows it’s there. I avoid his gaze and
lower my head.

At the same time, a group of pack members

walks by to go to the recreation room,
laughing and jokingly pushing one another.
Alec is among them, and he stops as soon as
he sees me. He goes from a smile to a
pissed-off look in no time and keeps glaring
at me as long as our eyes meet. I know my
brother still thinks about this shift, but it’s
way too late now. I wonder why he wanted
tonight’s money so badly. Is he having money
issues again?

But he can’t say anything right now; Vince is

still facing me and watching my every move
like a hawk, making sure I finish in time. I
feel, however, that this will only delay Alec’s
punishment for opposing him...
An hour later, I’m in the kitchen with my
completed dishes, giving instructions.

“...And this is called crème brûlée. All you

need to do is burn the sugar on top a little
when you serve it, like I just did.”

Jill and Maria are frowning, trying to

remember it all. They will be the ones to
serve tonight, as Vince doesn’t want anyone
that is not part of the pack to see me. Jill
and Maria are my age, but they are way
prettier, though they are not really smart.

“Wait, why did you have to make a Russian

dessert?” Asks Maria while playing with her
blonde hair

“It’s not Russian, it’s French! Vince said the

main Family is originally from France, so…”
They give me suspicious stares, but I don’t
care. All I need is for them to remember a
few names and how to serve it!

Thankfully, about twenty minutes later, I

think they finally get it. I hope so... They
leave upstairs to get ready, and I can finally
clean the kitchen.

It’s almost time. Everyone is ready, and it is

time for me to go hide in the basement. I’m
so exhausted from cooking all afternoon, I
just lay flat on my familiar couch.

I’m about to fall asleep when I can hear

them. The people from the Blood Moon Clan
are here!

I get up, totally awake, and run across the

room to the small window. I climb on top of a
rundown drawer to reach the opening. I have
to stand on my toes to actually get to see
something. My eyes are at ground level, and,
for a while, all I can distinguish are feet and
paws. But I can clearly hear Vince’s voice.
“Welcome! Welcome to the Jade Moon Den. I
am Vincent Greene, and this is my Beta,
Peter.”

I can distinguish his big brown boots among

the crowd, and Peter, in his wolf form, next
to him. Actually, a few members of our pack
shapeshifted, too, prior to the guests’
arrival, just in case... I suppose both sides
can’t trust the other.
However, facing them, the Blood Moon pack
members are easy to recognize, even from my
position: They are all in human form, and
wearing dark suits and classy black leather
shoes. Look like some mafia gang has arrived!
I’m shocked not a single one of them is in
their wolf form. Are they that confident? Or
just trying to act arrogantly? One of them
answers, with a nice and gentle voice I didn’t
expect.

“Thank you for having us. You have a lovely

turf indeed… How lucky of you to be able to
enjoy a run in the forest anytime you want.”

His tone is peaceful, so why is it his words

seem so… menacing? I feel like he is
threatening instead of thanking! Vince must
be tense, but he won’t show it.

“Oh, we are very attached to our land. My

family has protected it for generations. But
the forest is everyone’s, of course, so please
do not hesitate to come whenever you want
to escape the city!”
I don’t believe they would wait for
permission…

Vince finally invites them in, and I leave my

spot to go put my ear against the door. The
basement is next to the kitchen and pretty
close to the dining hall. I can hear all the
chatting as they go by, with Vince introducing
some pack members and showing them the
way. Actually, he is the only one talking; none
of the Blood Moon can be heard. I wonder
what they look like…

I listen to them enter the dining hall, and

then the kitchen goes quiet.

Meanwhile, I change quickly into some clean

clothes. I grab a clean pair of jeans that I
have left in the old wardrobe and put on a
dark blue sweater that’s too big on me, but
never mind. At least I feel clean.

I’m putting my messy hair into a low bun when

I hear some steps coming from the kitchen.
Jill and Maria came to take the first plates,
chatting as always.

“Gosh, I could barely breathe in there;

everyone is so tense! If only they would relax
a little,” says Maria.

“Oh, I wish I could relax with that Nathaniel

guy. I’m sure he’s a wild beast behind the
pretty boy look...”
“Keep your paws off, girl. Amber already is
eyeing him. That girl is such a slut… But even
without her, I wouldn’t go near one of them.
Those Black brothers are scary. I mean,
those guys killed their own father and Alpha!”

“And it’s only two of them here. But I heard

the oldest brother is the worst; he is the
crazy one of the lot. Okay, you got all of
them?” Jill whispers.
They go back, and the kitchen goes silent
again. Did they really kill their Alpha father?
I didn’t know that part! No wonder everyone
is so afraid of them… Jill and Maria come and
go again in the kitchen, but the chatting is
reduced to them trying to remember what
they are serving. It’s nerve-wracking to hear
them struggle when I’m just behind the door,
but I can’t disobey Vincent’s orders just to
help those two!

Thankfully, it seems the dinner goes well. I

can hear everyone exiting the dining room,
and their voices reach me again when they go
out. It’s dark by now, but never mind, I can
still hear them talking.
“....was impressed. It’s been a while since
we’ve enjoyed some authentic French
cuisine,” says the guy from earlier.

They liked it! I find myself smiling and let

out a sigh of relief, as Jill and Maria never
said a thing about the guests’ impressions for
the whole dinner.

“Glad you enjoyed it! It was our honor to have

you here tonight.”

“Surely our brother is going to regret missing

this. Who knew the Jade Moon Clan had such
cooking-skilled members… By the way, you
have exquisite ladies here.”

Vince must be overjoyed. This is the same as

saying they would agree to let our packs
members court each other, an excellent way
to improve relationships.
“Hey. Is that all your girls?” Says a voice I
haven’t heard before.

Judging from his arrogant tone, that must be

the other brother. What’s with his question?
He sounds so disdainful!

“Hmm, well, yes. You’ve seen all our young

girls who have yet to find their mate
tonight…”
“Never mind. Let’s leave.”

They exchange a few greetings and soon

leave. I can hear some of our pack members
letting out sighs of relief.

“What’s with this attitude of his?! Are we

not pretty enough now?” Growls Amber.
“None of the Black Brothers has a mate yet.
Maybe they were also looking for some
prospect wife...” Says Lily, Vince’s fiancée.

“Anyway, that went well. We should be

content with that alone. I don’t want any
issues with the Blood Moon Clan. Their
brother is pissed at the Sapphire Moon Clan
these days, and trust me. No one wants to
take their place...”
I step down, as Vince is now just giving
orders for the patrols. What a night… Even
without being in the room, I was still on edge
because of this dinner. Again, I wonder why
those brothers and their guard bothered to
come all the way here. They own half of the
city and scare the other half. Are they
interested in the outskirts of the city now?

I just keep thinking about the dark rumors

surrounding those three Black brothers, and
slowly fall into a deep sleep...
Settling Debts

His Blue Moon Princess 3342 words

2019-01-17 23:47:11

“GET OFF HER! LET HER GO, I SAID!”

I hear screams and a loud growling.

Suddenly, the pressure around my neck

disappears, and someone’s finger gently
touches my throat. I think someone is talking
to me.

A fight is going on. I can hear my brother

shrieking, and the terrifying growls of a
massive beast.

My throat hurts so badly… All of my body is

in unutterable pain.
I lose myself to unconsciousness to escape it
all.

***2 days earlier***

Something’s wrong with my brother.

Since the dinner with the Blood Moon Clan,

and me not obeying to him, he has been acting
weird. I found it odd for him not to come and
punish me afterward, but he never did. For
some reason, he just keeps watching me from
afar.

Even today, as I am working, he is standing at

the bar, watching my every move and drinking
without saying a word. Robert frowns, unsure
about what is going on. At some point, he
grabs my arm, almost making me spill the
beers.
“Hey, what’s with Alec? You did something?
Looks like he’s pissed at ya or somethin’.”

“I don’t know. Now let me go, customers on

table six are waiting for those,” I just
answer and shake his arm off.

He may not be pleased with my answer, but I

really don’t know. It’s his fourth beer
already, and he hasn’t said a word for hours!
It’s almost scary how silent he is.
Knowing he is watching, I keep working. It’s
not like I’m bored, anyway. Rob’s bar is
crowded tonight, and the orders keep coming
in non-stop. Liz and I have been running
around since it opened. Elisabeth is older
than me, and Robert’s daughter, but she
might be the only member of the pack who is
almost nice to me. At least, she has never hit
me…

I’m cleaning a table for the next group when

someone loudly orders more beer from across
the room. Two Harpoons and three
Newcastle. I go behind the counter to pour
the drinks, and Liz joins me, grabbing a towel.

“Those drunkards spilled some of their damn

beer on me! How am I supposed to go party
after this if I smell like a barrel of beer?!”

“It should come off with just water and soap

from the ladies’ room,” I say.
“Really? You better be sure, cause I’m not
going like that!”

I nod, and she runs off to the bathroom. Liz

isn’t bad. She’s just a bit self-centered and
still acts like she’s sixteen instead of
twenty-six sometimes. But I like her.
Sometimes she gives me some of her clothes
she won’t wear anymore, even if it’s just
because she is too lazy to throw it out.
Thanks to her, I can actually wear something
new sometimes, as Alec won’t ever leave me
any money to buy anything.
I keep working, and the bar is so full, even
Robert seems in a good mood. Liz and I run
around without stopping to keep up, until
about 11 pm.

Now the groups are paying and exiting the

bar one after another, going to find some
more fun somewhere else. I can clean the
tables without stopping every time to take a
new order, and even Robert went outside for
a quick smoke. I realize Alec is still there;
only he isn’t alone anymore. Why is he talking
with Marcus?

I don’t like this. This p*****t is leering me

while whispering with my brother. Alec
doesn’t seem too happy about it, either. He’s
fidgeting for some reason, looking pissed,
while Marcus has this annoying smirk on his
face. I wish I knew what they’re talking
about…

“Nora! If you’re done, come clean the glasses,

girl!”
Liz has decided she’s done for tonight. She
takes her apron off and waves me good-bye
before heading to the back exit. She
probably was waiting for a chance to go while
her dad is not watching.

I take over behind the sink, and I’m actually

almost in front of my brother and Marcus
now. They immediately stop talking, and both
stare at me. One is looking at me with
disgust, the other with l**t.
“Hi, Nora,” says Marcus

I ignore him and keep washing one glass after

another. Even if I concentrate on my hands, I
can feel his gaze piercing me. It’s so
unsettling.

“Playing hard to get? That’s not what this

pretty skirt says, you know.”
Won’t he stop? My own brother is sitting in
front of him, and neither of them minds his
trashy talk! This man is so disgusting. My
wolf is growling inside, annoyed, too. Can’t he
just get drunk and go away like everyone
else? Why do I have to hear this?

“Isn’t your sister good at this, Alec? She’s a

freak, all right, but a hot one. She sure knows
how to get some attention...”
The freak doesn’t want any attention, you
p*****t. There are so many hot girls in the
pack, why is he always after me? I’m not
pretty, I wear ragged and oversized clothes,
and I even have a scar across my face! Is he
blind or what?

All of a sudden, his hands go over the

counter, and he grabs my wrist. Let me go!
“Hey, don’t run away, sweetheart. Come on; I
just wanna chat a bit.”

I struggle to break free, but he won’t let go.

He is grinning and holding as hard as he can
until it hurts.

“Let me go!”
“Oh, here’s you pretty voice, sweetheart. Do
you have any idea how enticing it sounds? You
could…”

“Enough!”

Robert is back, and his yell actually surprises

Marcus enough that he loses his grip and I
can free myself. I massage my painful wrist
and step back. Marcus looks pissed, but he
won’t win against Robert’s angry face.
“Marcus, why the hell are you annoying Nora
when she’s working! I need my staff working,
so keep your little games for later and get
out!”

Marcus grunts, but he knows who is the

stronger wolf in the room. He pays and
leaves, to my relief. That was close… He’s
gotten physical a few times before, but these
days, he really is pushier than usual.
Alec, still silent, gives me an annoyed look and
leaves behind him. I see him catching up with
Marcus outside, a pissed-off expression on
his face, actually talking to him. Robert
starts counting today’s tips while looking at
them across the window. The smell of his
cigarette is effectively chasing off all of the
last customers.

“Tsk, this guy is such a pain… And you, hurry

up with the cleaning. I’m tired.”
No need to tell me twice.

The bar is located downtown, actually thirty

minutes away from our Jade Moon territory.
I don’t mind the walk. Most people don’t even
notice me, and I can actually enjoy the
quietness of the night. And it’s mid-October,
so It’s not too cold either. And I’m in one of
the safest parts of the city, also, so the
chances of encountering some rogues or
anyone threatening are rather low.
Silver City can be dangerous at times. Having
so many different werewolf packs in the
same area is bound to raise tensions. The
young ones are always looking for a fight to
expand their power, while the older packs
fiercely defend what’s theirs. Two months
ago, a newly created pack tried to raid our
territory, and we couldn’t let that happen — a
b****y but quick fight broke out. The Jade
Moon pack might be known as a peaceful one,
but that doesn’t mean we are pushovers. The
Alpha and the other fighters made it pretty
clear that day.
I finally make it back to the main house, but
surprisingly, someone’s still up. Rory and Bill
are talking in the kitchen over some drinks. I
just head right away for the basement, but
they actually call me when they see me.

“Hey, freak! Come here for a second.”

I’m in no mood to entertain them now… I want

to flee to the basement and get some sleep!
But they insist with a hand gesture, and I
guardedly enter the dining hall.
“Oh come on; we are not gonna eat you or
somethin’.” Says Rory, seeing me so defiant.

I don’t trust any of them. They are my

brother’s friends, and they can be quite vile
and cruel when they’re bored. They’ve locked
me out a few times, wouldn’t let me eat in
peace without calling me names, and would
flip over my skirt if I came across them.
But this time, they just looked annoyed
somehow. I stop a few steps after the door,
while I am still within a safe distance from
them.

“Hey, where’s your brother? We’ve been

looking for him all day!”

I frown. What, so they were just waiting for

Alec? I shake my head. “I don’t know… He
came to Robert’s Pub with Marcus, but they
left together before I did. I really don’t
know where he went…”

“Tsk. This dumbass is evading us!” Growls Bill.

“He can’t keep it up for long, anyway. Even

Peter’s looking for him. Bet that idiot was
actually stupid enough to borrow some money
from the Beta, too.”
“Alec borrowed money from you and Peter?”
I ask, nervous.

Bill slams his glass on the table, making me

jump.

“Hell yeah, he did! And we’ve had enough of

it! That idiot brother of yours owes half of
the pack and won’t return a single cent!”
Not good… Alec doesn’t win any money on his
own! All he has is my salary and the
inheritance from our parents. Why is my
brother going around borrowing money?
There is no way he can pay them back! Rory
keeps complaining, but he’s obviously drunk
and gabbling. I can leave the room without
either of them noticing.

Back to my familiar basement, I’m exhausted.

Why is Alec so… irresponsible? He is older
than me, so why is he still acting so
recklessly? He won’t get a decent job; he just
pushes all of his chores on me and beats me
up when he’s upset.

What was that talk with Marcus for, anyway?

Is he trying to borrow some money again?

That night I lay on my old couch with an

uneasy feeling…
The next day, my brother isn’t in the dining
hall for breakfast. And I am not the only one
concerned about his absence: Peter comes to
me to ask about his whereabouts, but I’m
just as clueless as he is.

Borrowing money from the Beta and his

friends, what was he thinking?! Peter could
have Vincent banish him from the pack for
this kind of thing; our clan is really not easy
on troublemakers…
I try not to think about it too much and just
focus on my chores for the day. But after
cleaning the breakfast dishes, doing the
laundries, cleaning the first and second
floors, and sewing a few things, I keep
wondering where he could be. It seems like
no one has seen him all day, and I heard
Vincent complain about Alec not showing up
for the patrol.

The whole day goes by, and even Rory came

by again to interrogate me. I still had no
satisfying answer to give him, and as a result,
he hit me a couple of times, annoyed.
I wish I knew where Alec was, too! A lot of
people stared at me suspiciously as they came
for the dinner time, and I realize he might
have borrowed money from too many people,
as his friends said. Wait, he wouldn’t have
run away, right? My hand freeze on my
sponge. Could he? No, it’s just been a day,
maybe he’s…

“Nora, come here.”

“Alec!”

My brother is here! He’s in the kitchen,

fidgeting and looking at me with a weird look.
I approach him cautiously. He doesn’t look
drunk, that’s a relief. I was thinking he might
have been drinking, but he seems pretty neat
and sober. All of a sudden, he hands me what
he’s been holding in his hands. Isn’t that… one
of our mother’s dresses! I recognize the
beautiful embroidery and the lace on the
back. I didn’t even know he had it!
“I found this. Just put it on.”

Is this supposed to be a... present? He’s

frowning and won’t look at it. I am not sure
about what to do. Isn’t this dress too thin
for the season? Why would I put on such a
pretty and daring dress here and now? But all
of a sudden, my hesitation angers him.

“Just put this damn thing on, I said!”

He violently slaps me, making me step back. I
don’t answer and flee down to the basement
to obey. I don’t want to get hit a second time.

I get dressed in front of the mirror, but my

reflection is… unsettling. This dress is
pretty, long and sleeveless, with lace at the
back to find a corset-like style. The pure
white doesn’t look too good on my pallid and
bruised skin. And it’s mother’s...
“How long do you need to put on a damn
dress?!”

Alec comes down without warning and looks at

me, visibly pissed. Seeing that I’m done, he
runs up to me and grabs me by the arm
without a word. I try resisting, but he’s way
stronger. He takes me out of the house and
starts walking toward the city.
“Wait, Alec, stop! I can’t go out looking like
this! What are you doing?! Stop!”

He stops, and I get a new slap, a second, and

a third, one after another.

“Will you shut the hell up?! I don’t f*****g

care! Just shut up and walk!”
I don’t dare to say a word anymore. I don’t
want any more hits, but where are we going?!
I’m barefooted, and he makes me walk looking
like this in the open! I am starting to get
really scared of what’s coming now. He makes
sure we avoid the rest of the pack, making us
take the long way around the houses.
Everyone is having dinner, is that why he only
came now? To avoid others? I don't like
this...

Twenty minutes later, we finally enter one of

the buildings in the outskirts of the city. I
know this one: It belongs to our Jade Moon
Clan, so a few pack members live here. Who
are we meeting, then? Without a word, he
pushes me into the elevator, and finally lets
my arm go. I’m freezing, and my arm aches…

“Alec, what’s going on? Why are we here?”

“Settling my debts.”

“What, how?”
He doesn’t answer and pushes me to the sixth
floor. He grabs me again as he sees me
hesitating, and pushes me before him. I trip
and almost fall on my knees as we enter one
of the apartments, and when I raise my head,
I see Marcus.

Marcus, staring at me with a grin, half-naked.

“There you go,” says Alec.

“Wait, what? Alec, what is this?” I ask,

panicked.

Oh Moon Goddess, no, no, no.

Marcus won’t keep his hungry eyes off me,

and my brother looks so… detached.
“I told you, we are settling my debts. Marcus
will do that.”

“Exactly, sweetheart. Now you are going to

be a good girl and let me have my fun, and
your brother walks out with all that money he
needs. How great is that?!” Exclaims Marcus,
with a broad smile.
Have they gone crazy?! I don’t want to spend
even a minute with this lecherous dog! And
now he wants to sell me to this old p*****t
for money? What the Hell?!

“No, no, I’m going,” I say, turning back to the

door.

But Alec is in my way and grabs my arm

forcefully.
“Stop it, Nora! All you have to do is let him
f**k you and our money problems are over!
What, are you going to say you don’t want to?
You think I give a damn about you?! But look,
we need that money, so you’re gonna be a
good girl and...”

“And screw you, Alec!” I explode. “What

money problems? You’re the one who got in
trouble in the first place! Why do I have to
do this?! I don’t get a single cent for myself!
Now you want to make me pay for the money
I earned and you stupidly wasted? No way I’m
doing this!”
He hits me violently — a full punch, throwing
me on the floor. I land painfully on my arms,
letting out a cry.

“Shut the hell up! Whose fault is it I’m broke

in the first place! Who made me an orphan,
huh? You freak! You whore! Who gives a damn
about what you think?!”
He grabs me by the hair, forcefully making
me stand on my knees, and looks at me with
those crazy eyes.

“You’re going to do it, Nora. You’re going to

be the s**t you are and have sex with
Marcus. And after that, you better not
complain, not a word, because if you do, I will
kill you for good this time, you hear me?”

He lets me go, and storms out, slamming the

door behind him.
He has gone mad. I’m shaking all over, from
the panic and the shock combined. What
nightmare is this?

“Well, well, well…. It seems like you have your

orders, now. So let’s be a good girl, Nora. I’m
paying your brother a good sum to have my
way with you, so don’t you play hard to get
now.”
Hell no.

I don’t want this pork anywhere near me, and

there is no way I’m going to let him touch me
in any way. My wolf is growling like crazy
inside, ready to defend herself.

No way.
Waking up for good

His Blue Moon Princess 2155 words

2019-01-19 00:00:00

It hurts…

My throat is so painful, every breath feels

like a raging fire. I feel so numb.

My body aches all over, and I feel so tired… I

can’t even find the strength to move or open
my eyes. I just lay here, listening to the
regular beeping of a machine, and those
unknown voices.

“... consciousness already. We just grabbed

her and ran here. She was so… He would have
killed her. Too bad we let him get away.”

“How did you know that was her?”

“I didn’t! Bobo’s the one who insisted. Turns
out he was right…. Hey, move your big furry
a*s over there, I can’t examine her with you
here.”

I hear a growl, and someone’s agitating the

soft sheets around me. So, I’m in bed... A
real, comfy bed. I can feel someone’s
breathing close to me.

“Well, she’s better. That shouldn’t take too

long for her to wake up, now.”

“She’d better. Our brother is making

everyone freak out since that girl’s here.
Looks like he’s about to murder someone or
something...”

I’ve heard that voice before. Where was

that? I can’t remember.
Why am I so tired? I feel like going back to
sleep...

***

That beeping again… Always the same, regular

sound, over and over. It’s like I have been
listening to it for ages.
“Great. No pack, no name, no clue who that
girl is. She doesn’t even smell like a
werewolf!”

I’m hearing those voices again. Who is

talking? I am definitely a werewolf, I’ve just
never shapeshifted yet.

“Stop fussing. He can’t be wrong about that,

at least. But I still don’t understand where
she came from. She looks old enough to have
been marked, if she was in a pack.”

Unless the pack doesn’t want me…

“Oh, come on. Do you think a pack would let

one of their girls out in that state? Can’t be.
She must be a stray or something. And what
about the scar, anyway?”
“Dunno. It’s a few years old, probably a knife
of some sort. Too neat to be a claw. But
honestly, that’s the least of my worries. No
matter where she comes from, this girl was
in hell. She’s got bruises all over, and it’s not
just from the asshole who assaulted her.
Some bruises were older than that, and she
has lots of scars, too. I recognize a***e when
I see it.”

“Don’t say that in front of him, he might

really start killing people.”
“Well, he wouldn’t know who did it, anyway…”

***

I’m half-awake again. This is such a weird

sensation… My body is too tired to fully wake
up, yet too tired to go back to sleep.
I find the strength to open my eyes, but I’m
in the dark. No, wait… It’s night time. I can
actually figure out some furniture in the
room. Some small lights are blinking on a
machine next to me, too.

A large window lets the weakly gleaming

moonlight in.

The sky is cloudless, and I can see a bit of

the moon and stars. I feel a cold breeze
coming through. Oh, that fresh air feels so
good... But, more important, a tall silhouette
stands alone against the window frame.

Two cold silver eyes are staring right at me.

I’m, like, mesmerized.

Those eyes are scary and… attractive.

What is this? I can feel it stirring me up
inside, like something’s suddenly blooming.
What is this sensation? It’s nothing like I’ve
ever felt before. I can hear my wolf, she’s…
crying? Her voice is so faint, I don’t know
what’s going on.

I’m too tired, too weak. I can’t hear her.

So sleepy…
***

I slowly open my eyes.

Such a high ceiling… Where am I?

I turn my head. I’m in the biggest bed I’ve

ever seen. I’m surrounded by medical
monitors and it looks like a hospital bed, but...
Brick red walls, wood flooring, and fancy
furniture? The room is so huge, thirty people
could fit in. But there’s only three.

A woman and a man are chatting on a sofa,

and a younger guy is sitting to the side in a
chair, resting his feet on a table and playing
with a smartphone.

“Oh, I think she’s awake! “

A tall woman gets up from the sofa and
comes to me once she realizes I’m awake. She
has honey-colored skin and two very long,
dark braids. Her fingers gently examine me in
a very methodical way, although she doesn’t
look like a doctor at all. She looks a bit too
young, maybe twenty-five or so. She’s a bit
muscular, wearing a sports b*a, tight leather
pants, and high heeled boots.

“Okay, her blood pressure’s still a bit too

slow, but at least she’s awake for good. Can
you hear me, baby girl? How do you feel?
Drowsy?”

I shake my head and try to answer her.

Gosh, my throat hurts! Breathing’s so painful,

let alone uttering a word. Even while
breathing from my nose, I almost tear up
just from the pain. There is no way I can talk
right now. I try to touch my neck and feel a
thick bandage around it.
“Oh yeah, sorry about that. Your throat is
really damaged, so it might be difficult for
you to talk for a while. Don’t force it, okay?
It will get better, don’t worry. You think you
can sit?”

I nod, still a bit shaken up by everything that

is going on. She helps me sit up and puts some
big cushions behind me for support. It feels
unreal. I don’t know these people, or where
we are. I look down. I’m perfused and linked
to several medical machines. Someone even
put me in a hospital gown. Seeing me so
confused, she starts explaining.
“It’s okay. This is the General Hospital. You
were in a coma for about five days. We found
you last Thursday in the eastern district, and
someone was attacking you. My brother and I
intervened, but you collapsed right away.”

I realize there is one more person in the

room I hadn’t noticed before. A huge
golden-brown wolf is laying at her feet,
against my bed. I can only see him now that I
am sitting up. But still, I have never seen
such an imposing beast before–he looks like a
bear rather than a wolf!

“Yes, that’s my baby brother, Bobo. I’m

Tonia, by the way.”

Bobo? Is that his actual name? Tonya gives

me a reassuring smile, but won’t introduce
the two other people in the room. One of
them suddenly gets up from his chair, looking
irritated. He’s most likely in his teens, with
dark messy hair and a dozen piercings in his
ears. He grabs a backpack and puts his hands
in his pockets, looking annoyed and ready to
leave.

“Great, can I go now that she’s awake?”

He is not asking Tonia, but the last person in

the room. A man in his twenties, wearing a
very elegant black costume, waits a few
seconds and nods.
“But don’t come home late, Liam. I don’t want
to have to send people to fetch you again.”

“Yeah, yeah…”

The teenager exits the room, and Tonia

shrugs and focuses on me once more.
“Don’t mind this brat. Okay, can you show me
the parts where it hurts?”

Now that I glance down, I’m bruised all over

my arms, and I can tell my right eye is
probably not good either, judging from the
pain. I still feel really weak, too.

Trying to think about where I feel the worst,

I point out my throat, my right flank that is
still aching pretty badly, and my arm. She
isn’t surprised, and explains to me that
they’ve already given me proper medicine. I
also had surgery for internal bleeding, but I
am recovering well.

But why? All this medical care can’t be free,

and I don’t think they are just being nice to
me out of charity. While Tonia talks and
comments on my wounds some more, the guy
standing a few steps behind her is staring at
me non-stop. He has a really gentle look, with
grey eyes and thin facial features. Now that
I observe him some more, he looks a lot like
the teenager from earlier. Are they
brothers? He looks taller, and his hair is
longer and lighter, though.
“If you feel dizzy just lay down, okay? That’s
perfectly normal, considering you were laying
down for the last few days. And you had
surgery, too. Oh baby girl, you are way too
skinny. By the way, how old are you exactly?”

I raise my fingers to show her. She looks

surprised.
“Really? Seventeen? You look younger! I
would have said fourteen or fifteen. Well,
that’s not too bad then.”

What is not to bad? I frown, but she doesn’t

notice my perplexed expression as she
suddenly turns towards her brother, who is
yawning. The huge wolf sits up and puts his
head on her lap. They stare at each other for
a few seconds.

“Oh, right. Bobo asks what’s your name. I

should have asked earlier, too.”

I realize they must have been using

telepathy. If they are siblings, they are most
likely from the same pack. How nice. I could
never properly succeed mind-linking with my
own pack, because I’ve never actually
shape-shifted. There’s that, and the fact
that they would probably reject me, anyway.

I can’t talk, so the man brings me a notepad

and a pen from the table. I write down my
name.

“Nora Bluemoon,” he reads out loud. “A pretty

name.”

He looks like our mate. I feel as if my wolf is

saying this.

Wait, what now? How do you know he does?

But she goes silent again. It makes no sense.
We have yet to meet him, so how would we
know if he looks like our mate?

While I’m trying to understand, some vague

memory of a pair of silver eyes flashes, and I
realize this guy as almost the same eyes.
Only his are not really silver, but more of a
blue-ish grey. Was that just a dream? Or did
someone else really come to visit us while I
was unconscious?
I grab the pen once again to write my
questions, and show them to Tonia.

“Why are you here? Well, you were in really

bad shape when we found you.”

“I don’t think that’s what she means, Tonia.”

The man addresses me, standing still next to
my bed. “The hospital belongs to my family,
so that’s why Tonia brought you here. And we
believe you are someone really special for my
older brother, so, we got you the VIP room.”

How am I special? And how rich must his

family be to own the General Hospital? I
didn’t even know hospitals could be bought or
had VIP rooms until now.
His gentle voice really has a way to make
people feel calm and weary at the same time.
Why does it look so familiar?

Oh, Moon Goddess.

I know where I’ve met him before. He was at

the meeting with the Blood Moon Clan!
He’s one of the Black brothers! And saying
I’m special to his older brother means…

Suddenly, I can feel it.

A loud pounding, like a warning. I tense up.

My whole body knows.
He’s coming near. He’s coming here.
