The Persistent Alpha, & Resistant Luna

42. Pale Brown Eyes .

"I told you Beta Kale, that's all I know. We were all talking and sitting around one minute, Luna asked to try something, and then they both were out of it the next. It all happened so fast, but the Luna.. her.. her eyes.."

"She's waking up." I could hear Grey's voice as I slowly came to.

"Audri? Where's Audri?" I asked, her memory the first thing on my mind.

Grey gave me a puzzled look, but nodded over to a couch that sat on the opposite side of the bedroom I was apparently moved to.

I sat up, looking over to what looked like a sleeping Audri.

"What happened? Is she okay?" I moved Grey aside with some rather powerful newfound strength, as I made my way out of the bed and over to her.

"I don't know, you tell us." Grey said, his tone clearly amused, but in a confused and curious kind of way.

"What happened, Luna? Did you two.. fight?" It was Kale who spoke now.

I turned to look at him, anger clear as day on my face. "Of course not! I just.." I faced Audri again, about to stroke hair from her face, but then pulled away afraid to touch her again.

"You just?"

"Kale." Grey's voice was stern.

"It's okay, Grey. He's just.. worried. You think.. you think I'm a danger to the pack, don't you, Kale?" I couldn't face him asking a question I already knew the answer to.

Grey was right yet again.

I could read the pack's mind.

I can do more than that.. Is this normal?

"Nova, don't say th-" Grey began before I interrupted him.

A small sad smile played on my lips as I turned to face him, "It's okay, Grey. We can't really be an honorable pack if we're not honest with each other, right?"

I took a deep breath, ready to face Kale.

"I know that you have your doubts about me, hell, I have them about myself. But I can promise you one thing for certain and two for sure, my intentions would never be to put the pack in any danger, or knowingly bring any harm their way."

My eyes reflected as Kale's just bore into mine. A hard expression on his chiseled face.

"I've been wanting to change the pack."

This got Grey's undivided attention, now he too was interested in getting a piece of my mind. A piece I was now ashamed of.

"Pet?"

I didn't look at him, all I could do now was keep talking towards Kale.

"I thought that if I stuck around, I could take away all the death and pain that goes on all the time. I was sick of it, that's all my life's been about since.."

I could feel his pale brown eyes on me. I closed my eyes briefly, not able to finish the sentence.

"But.. Audri and Lynn, the way you follow Grey like you wouldn't rather be doing anything else in the world, this entire pack.. no one wants to change a damned thing. No one but me. Why?"

I looked to Grey now. His eyes the widest I've ever seen them, holding an emotion I wasn't sure was good or bad.

My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach.

"Why would I want to change a pack that's perfect the way it is." The image of Audri being struck flashed in my mind, "Almost.. almost perfect." I whispered, looking back over to Audri.
