Scarred Luna

Every part of my body ached as I roused awake. I slowly forced my eyes open and I blinked to allow it to adapt to the lighting of my surroundings. When it finally did, I studied where I was. I was in a large room with white walls that stood out. I looked around the large room. Almost everything in it was white, from the vanity table to the white drapes which had golden swirls on it, to the bed spread. I groaned as I tried to sit up. I had never been on a bed like this before. It was soft and warm. Asides, the aches I felt all over my body, I felt peace.

That was when it hit me. Was I dead? My head considered the possibility and it made so much sense since there was white everywhere.

Oh goddess, I really was dead and I made it to the moon goddess. Happiness took over the pain and I instantly tried to get off of the bed. Bad idea. Was it supposed to hurt this much in the after life?

Memories of the way I got hurt stormed my brain and I sighed. I could not believe I died in such a shameless way.

I stared down at my body. I had healing wounds in some places and some had bandages on it and I was wearing a simple but super pretty dress.

I sighed dreamily as I slowly lowered my feet to the ground and slowly walked to the door, which was tall and white, as well.

For the first time since I’ve gotten her, I could strongly feel my wolf. She always felt weak but right at that moment, she radiated a vibrant and strong energy.

A small smile laced my lips and I wrapped my hand around the cold door knob. It was quite heavy but I opened it slowly, cracking it open by a notch. This door was so big to the extent that that notch was enough for me to pass through. So, I slipped through as quietly as I possibly could. Once I stepped outside, I marveled at the sight before me. The entire corridor I was standing in was filled with different doors that most likely led to rooms and the walls and doors were also themed white. The walls had little streaks of gold on it though.

I gasped at the absolute beauty and I followed the path that I thought would lead out of there. I came to a stop still at the top of a spiral golden staircase that led downstairs. I hesitated before stepping on it because it looked like it was built for royalty.

I slowly made my way down, taking in the sight of every possible thing I could. As soon as I got to the base of the stairs, I finally saw someone. I sighed in relief because it was beginning to look like no one else was there.

I spotted her first.

“Excuse me” my voice croaked out as she whipped her head to me and I had to clear my throat to be able to talk again but the moment her eyes landed on me, she immediately walked away. I watched her retreating figure and that was when I noticed she was wearing a maid-like uniform.

“Please, wait” I called out but she was long gone. I sighed in defeat as I paced the base of the stairs in anxiety. Just when I decided to follow the same path she did, she showed up again but this time an elegant looking woman was with her. She had long, straight black hair and brown eyes that stood out beautifully. She was built like a literal goddess. I almost sighed dreamily as I stared openly at her and admired her features.

“Finally, you’re awake” she said with a smile that could captivate anyone.

I blinked blankly.

“Erm… I – ” I stammered.

I did not know what to say. I struggled to find the words because I was so confused.

She smiled brightly and pulled me into a warm hug.

“It’s okay, I understand that you’re confused and I’ll explain everything to you” she said before she pulled away and looked at the maid beside her.

“Leave us” she ordered and the girl curtsied in respect before she obliged.

All the while, I kept staring at the person in front of me. She looked so unreal.

“Am I dead?” I blurted out carelessly, without thinking.

She stared at me in confusion for a second before she burst out laughing. The melodious sound filled my ears and it made me feel warm all over.

She finally stopped laughing and stared at my now red face.

“Oh goddess. No, you are definitely not dead” she said and I gained a whole new perspective. Where was I? How did I get here? How did I not die with so much bleeding?

No wonder everywhere on my body hurts.

“Are you hungry?” She asked and my focus went to my very empty stomach.

“Very” I said shyly and she smiled.

“Follow me” she said and she led me to where the food was, hopefully.

We got to the biggest and most beautiful kitchen I had ever seen. It was nothing like I had ever seen. It felt homely.

There was a counter in the middle with high chairs surrounding it.

It all still felt like a dream.

She dismissed every maid that was in the kitchen till it was just the both of us. I wasn’t sure what it was but she started to cook something and I offered to join but she insisted I sit down and do nothing.

I reluctantly did because it was not something I was used to.

“What’s your name?” She asked and I cleared my throat before answering.

“Kieran” I answered and she hummed.

“I’m Sabrina, but most of my friends call me Sab” she said and I nodded in understanding.

She glanced at me before she continued what she was doing.

“You’re a very lucky person. Once every month, we usually do a border patrol and I mostly lead it. That’s how we found you. We don’t take well to strangers but I insisted on bringing you back here” she said and my eyes widened in surprise. I was indeed lucky. Once every month and the stranger part? They could just as easily have left me to die.

Then it hit me, she saved me.

I looked up at her with appreciation.

“Thank you so much” I said and she smiled brightly.

“You need to tell me how you got there and what happened” she said and I nodded slowly. Where exactly was I supposed to start from? I felt myself grow anxious and scared. Lucas was still out there somewhere, probably looking for me. Or not. What did I even mean to him? He just didn’t want me alive.

Sabrina sensed my hesitation and turmoil and she smiled again.

“It’s okay, we can talk about it later,” she said and I visibly relaxed.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

I looked at her appreciatively.

“Thank you” I said and she nodded.

I looked around the place awkwardly. Where exactly was I?

“Where am I?” I asked, voicing out my thoughts.

“Deathshade pack” she simply said, without so much as batting an eyelash.

My heart raced and her answer. Chills ran down my spine. The Deathshade pack? I was so screwed.
