My Childish Luna

Chapter 18 - Staying in our Territory

Marie POV

While I was taking Ramond for a walk around the territory, I overheard someone crying. "Mother, what was that?" my son inquired. "Hush, remain here." I approached the bush cautiously and peered behind it. I noticed a young girl huddled up with her toy bunny clutching tightly to her chest.

She was a rogue.

"Hello, young one," she noticed me and retreated, whimpering. "I assure you, I have no intention of causing you any harm," I smiled, lowering myself in front of her. "What's your name?"

"El-Ellie..."

"Ellie... what a beautiful name. I'm Marie."

"M-Marie"

How old are you, sweetheart?"

"8"

"Where's your parents?"

"Bad vampire killed my mummy and my daddy gone,"

The poor girl. "Come here," she ran into my arms. I lifted her up. I motioned Ramond to get his father.

Ellie POV

"I don't feel comfortable with a family of vampires living on our land." Clint growled.

"You can trust them, Clint."

"Yeah, listen to your Luna."

I glared at my uncle for that.

"Too soon?"

"Yes, Uncle Stew."

"Hey, you let me live in the pack house." Elliot smirked.

"That's because it was just you!"

"Clint, it'll be fine. I promise you. If anything happens. It's on me, okay?"

"Fine," he grumbled, not arguing it anymore.

And just like that, they disappeared, leaving just my dad standing there.

"I left you at the right place, didn't I?" I nodded, giving him a small smile. '

"I'll leave you to it."

"Love you, Dad."

"Love you too, my baby wolf." he kissed my forehead and disappeared.

"Well then." Nick mumbled.

"I'm the only wolf left in the family. Mum was an only child, and her parents died in a rogue attack when she was young."

"The odd member, interesting." Nick hummed.

I just shrugged at that.

Ramond planted a gentle kiss upon my cheek eliciting a smile from me.

"You're so whipped," Clint mumbled, walking away as Nick chuckled following Clint.

Ramond turned his head to glare at his Beta. "You are," I giggled softly, giving him a gentle kiss on the lips.

"So when am I getting some grandbabies?" Someone said, making Ramond and I frown.

We both turned around. Ramond's eyes widened as I could sense the colour draining from my face.

"Dad..." Ramond whispered.

"Ellie, it seems you are still as lively as ever." He approached to embrace me upon noticing my mark. He glanced at his son and then turned to me. "You two?"

Ramond let out a nervous chuckle.

"Your mother knew it," he smiled, embracing us both in a warm hug. "I am delighted that it is you, Ellie."

I smiled politely and chuckled nervously. "Excuse me for a moment." I slowly backed away and swiftly walked to where my father and my VAMPIRE family were staying.

I urgently knocked on the door, and Uncle Stew responded. I swiftly pushed him inside, firmly closing the door behind me as I caught my breath. "Ramond father is here."

"What's wrong with that?" Elliot asked.

"He HATES vampires. His sister and mother were killed by one, and he won't hesitate to kill you. Ramond, nor I can stop him. He's an ex Alpha, after all. So please! To save me from panicking and your safety stay in here until he leaves."

"How long?" Elliot asked.

"I don't know yet, but I'll come here as soon as he leaves. Right, I gotta go."

I left the house running back to where Ramond was talking to his father. "So how long are you visiting Derek?"

"I am considering the possibility of returning." My eyes widened in surprise as I looked at Ramond. I gradually felt my eyes rolling to the back of my head as I began to faint.

"Ellie!"

I lost consciousness and fell into Ramond's arms.

A couple of minutes later

"Ellie?"

"Ellie!"

I gently opened my eyes, and my vision was hazy. I let out a soft groan as the person gradually came into focus.

"Ramond?"

He sighed in relief.

"W-what happened?"

"You fainted, but you are alright now." He assisted me to stand up, noticing the relief on the faces of some of the people.

"Ellie?" It was Derek, He had a concern look on his face. "Are you ok, sweetheart?"

I simply nodded, appearing bewildered. Ramond gently squeezed my hand, noticing my heart beating rapidly against my chest.

'Calm down, mate, I'll think of something.' He mind linked to me.

"Why are you moving back, Dad? You wanted to stay away." Ramond questioned.

"Rumours have it vampires are lurking around, so I want to help and kill every single one last of them." He snarled.

That is when I experienced a loss of consciousness once more.
