Luna

Chapter 8

       I woke up with the biggest headache of my life and I had no idea where I was. I got up and walked out of the hut. I definitely wasn't in my village anymore. People were just standing around talking they weren't loud but my head still throbbed. "Excuse me?" I said and it was like everyone was just looking at me. They began to whisper and look at me in a way that made me uncomfortable. "Amour." I turned to see Livia walking up to me. I immediately brought her into a hug.

"Where are we?" I asked as I let go of her.

"Not far from home. When they left we took the opportunity to leave too." She explained and the people were still looking at us and talking.

"Why are they looking at us like that?"

"Not us, you. Come on Cthylla wants to see you." Me? I was so confused, what did I do? We walked into a almost dome shaped hut. My brothers were sleeping and I was relieved to know that they were safe.

       Rayo's face was the last one I wanted to see. A few other faces I never seen before came into view. I was the center of attention and I didn't like it one bit.

"Have a seat." He said, I did as I was told. "Amour I'm going to ask you some questions and we need the truth. Understand?" I just nodded. My palms started to sweat but I tried to remain calm. This whole situation was making me all types of nervous.

"What attacked our village?"

"Werewolves." The name left a sour taste in my mouth. Everything in me wanted to take it and say it wasn't true. But sadly it was the truth.

"What happened between you and the black wolf?" I honestly had no clue, it had opportunities to kill me and it didn't and I don't get why it didn't.

"I don't know how to answer that." Cthylla spoke up.

"Was there any type of connection, anything?" My mind went back to its rather beautiful blue eye and how they captured my attention. It almost let me touch it and listened at command. Another thing was that feeling in my chest that grew by the second. That simple word came from to my head mate. They all just waited for my answer but I didn't want to say anything. "There's no need to lie about what happened. But since you won't answer my next question. Did it talk to you,"

"Werewolves can't talk."

"That's not what I asked." Deciding to just to give in I just nodded. He took some steps towards me. "And what did it say?" Everything in me wanted to run and keep my mouth shut. But he kept walking towards me, taunting me. I felt like everyone in the room was against me but I couldn't do anything about it.

"Mate." The entire room gasped and went into whisper. Rayo backed away looking beyond disgusted with me. They all looked as if I didn't belong. Livia gave me a sympathetic look.

"This can't be possible." Someone said

"She can't stay here." Another person said.

"He won't stop until he has her." People started to throw more and more statements around, none of them good in the slightest. I did everything I could to stop the tears from coming. No way was I going to let them witness me break down. The room felt so big while I felt so small.

"Silence!" Finally Cthylla said something and everyone stopped talking. "Amour come with me." She got up and I walked with her out of the hut. No words were spoken as we continued to walk. We stepped in a empty space and she faced me.

"I'm so sorry Amour. It pains me to say this.."

"Then don't lets just not have this conversation." I interrupted.

"It's not that simple and you know that." Nothing was simple at this point. My mind was all over the place and this headache was not helping at all.

"Why did he call me mate? What does that even mean? What exactly is going on right now?" I rattled off questions to her.

"You have questions that I personally can't answer for you." I ran my hands through my hair becoming frustrated.

"Then who can answer them?"

"The wolf." I let out a laugh. She expected me to have a conversation with something that could kill me if it wanted to. Who's to say it won't kill me if it sees me again.

"I don't know how to explain this to you. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would have to" nothing she said made sense and I was done trying to listen.

"I would like to go see my brothers  now." I didn't even wait for her to respond I just walked away. THis was too much, my feelings were unstable and I was drained physically and mentally. All I wanted right now was to be around people that cared for me despite anything that happens the past three days, I just needed comfort.
