Night Walkers

Nine - Kill

Archilles places me down on a soft bed and runs into an adjoining room coming back with a med kit. I sit up more in the bed and pull my hand away from my jaw where she nicked me. A lot of blood was covering my hand and I wondered how bad it really was.

"Thanks Archilles," I say as he places a cold cloth on my face. I take it from his hand and hold it up myself while he shuffles in the kit for a bandage or something to stop the bleeding.

"Don't thank me, just thank Marcarius that he saved you. If it weren't for him you'd be dead by now." I sigh and nod, I feel like there was a giant weight on my shoulders when it came to that man.

"Did... did he kill her?" I ask and he meets my eyes.

"Heavens no, a council-" he stopped himself and looked towards the door, where Violet stood with bloody hands.

"Archilles. You are responsible for cleaning up, go." Without argument he dropped everything and went as if he wouldn't dare speak back to him at this point.

When he leaves I quickly grab a giant bandaid and slap it on my cut. Standing up I try to leave the room but Violet grabs my bicep and holds me back at the door. Leaving me no choice but to look up to his eyes. He looked pissed and had me terrified.

"You need stitches. Go sit down." His voice left no room for arguing so I did as I was told, just like a child.

Sitting back down on the bed Violet stands in front of me ripping off the bandaid making me wince. He looks at me with a "are you serious" look and I just look away. He grabs some serious looking tools for stitches and I flinch back when he looks at me with them in his hands.

"This may hurt." I try to back away from him but he grabs my arm and hold me, when he got close to my face I couldn't help but try to run. Growling he pins me down and straddles my stomach, sitting on my arms as well.

I couldn't help but blush at the position making him smirk as he quickly sticks the needle in my cheek. I bite my lip and clench my eyes shut.

"Next time don't piss off a night walker." He says and I open my eyes, and glare at him.

"She found out I could break the curse. Then decided she wanted to kill me." He sighs and digs another needle into my skin making me wince again.

"She thinks this is a blessing, a second chance," he sticks one final stitch into my face and gets off of me. "She once was a respected Luna, who had two sons, but one day she found her mate in bed with her sister. The boys found out about their father cheating on their mother and tried to kill him. Both of the boys where only fifteen and twelve," he looked down at the floor. "They were killed without mercy, and Damias mate had continued to have a child with her sister. Raising the next heir, with her having to continue to be his luna. Everyone thought she sent her only sons on a death mission because she was too much of a coward to face her own mate," I got off the bed and stood up watching him as he looked back at me. "The moon made her what she is and sent her to me, I'm her Alpha and she sees you as her sister all over again." I sigh and nod, guess he's telling me to back down.

"I didn't know." He shakes his head and leaves the room, shrugging I clean up the bed and put the kit back in the bathroom.

Looking in the mirror and watch as my face slowly frowns. Showing that I need a good sleep, and a shower.

Taking my clothes off I lock the bathroom door and hop in the shower, slowly warming up along with the water.

I stand with my eyes closed as the water splashes on my face, making it flush with heat.

I still couldnt get over that I actually may not be what I've believed to be all my life, that my wolf... was just a part of my imagination.

Sighing I get out of the shower and pull a towel around myself. I then groan and curse when I realize I don't know where my clean clothes are.
