Luna

Chapter 19

We went home when it got super dark, the whole time Spartan was flirting with a girl while Layla strung behind him.

Cali and Leo were mostly bickering, but I seen a glint that wasn't there before in both of their eyes when they went on a ride together.

And Gabriel and I got a lot closer, we learned more about each other. It was just overall and awesome day for both of us.

Now were home and I was tuckered out. I felt Gabe's soothing hands on my shoulders as I tried grabbing a cup from the counters.

He chuckles and grabs it for me handing it to me. Then grabbing me from behind and bending over to give me a hug.

"Today was really fun, thank you for making it interesting-" he whispers the last part, "Luna."

Him calling me Luna sent shivers down my spine and left goosebumps on my arms. His voice was so rough but so smooth like caramel, I loved hearing him speak.

I put my hand on his neck and turn to look at him smiling. I kiss his neck, "it was pretty fun, Alpha." I whisper.

His cologne killed me, he smelt so good I just wanted him. I lusted him.

He smiles back at me, "you're such a tease," I turn around to face him with one eyebrow up.

"Oh yeah? I'm the tease?" I hug him and he laughs. Just like his smile was contagious I also started smiling.

"Let's go upstairs to bed," he picks me up in a bridal hold, I squeal and clutch his neck.

He chuckles carrying me upstairs to our room once he puts the cup down.

When we get to our room he gently sets me down on the bed and lays on top of me, snuggling. I start to run my fingers through his hair until he falls asleep, then, I soon fall asleep after.
****

I wake up with Gabriel hugging me from the side, his head by my shoulder/armpit. Still asleep. I smile.  My arm was out, basically cupping his head like a pillow.

I take a deep breath and slow my breath down to fall back asleep when he stirs and smiles at me, "good morning," he pulls me in closer to him and kisses me gently.

"You look so gorgeous," he smiles at me.

"Is that sarcasm?" I chuckle, "cause I just woke up."

"It wasn't sarcasm, you're gorgeous," he smiles at me and I roll my eyes.

"You're such a flirt," I tease, kiss his forehead and get up off the bed. He whimpers at me getting up, grabs my hips and throws me down back on the bed. Then bends over me and kisses me passionately.

He then whispers in my ear, "don't leave me, Luna."

I smile and grab his head pulling us down to mine and kiss him.

I smell Leo outside of the door, Gabriel and I both get up and walk to the door opening it before he knocks.

"Ah- hmm," Leo looks down at his hand, then back at us.

"What is it Leo?" Gabriel asks, and I chuckle.

"Your father," Leo points to me. "Something is up. We don't know what's up, but he said he wanted to speak to you, and only you," he looks at me.

"I- um."

"He wants you to go alone."

(WARNING: THIS SCENE HAS MATURE/TRIGGERING CONTENT REGARDING SEXUAL ABUSE)    -If skipping I'll warn when it starts and ends in the bold print-

My body shakes as I enter the forest alone, Gabriel's touch soothes me but I know when his touch leaves I'll be anxious. He embraces me with his muscular arms in what I truly thought was my last hug from him. Anxious butterflies rumble through my stomach, as I leave farther and farther away from the house. Each branch under my foot snapping making me jump. I slow my breath and walk in the bitter coldness of the morning. The sun peaked over the full trees. The fresh air hitting my lungs, it felt so painful giving the circumstances of me seeing my father once again.

I take one more painful breath in, suffocating my lungs with the surrounding air. You can do this Dawn, you're stronger then this. I brought my confidence up, I stood up straighter and started walking faster towards my father pack. You can do this Luna, his voice pounded through my head leaving shivers down my spine. How I loved Gabriel.

I smile seemingly more confident. I step foot out of the forest lining surrounding my fathers pack. His boring white run-down pack house in my vision. My heart immediately drops to my stomach. I smell my whole family, all 13 siblings and my father.

I almost turn around to walk back home and vomit when my father steps out of the falling apart house, smirks at me with his arms crossed. Right then I knew I wasn't gonna like what was about to happen.

"So you did show up," his smile widens, "I'm surprised you came alone DeDe," I shivered at the old nickname that was placed over my head as a child, giving me flashbacks of things my mind made me forget because of the trauma.

(TRIGGERING CONTENT BEGINS REGARDING SEXUAL ABUSE)

"Shhh, daddy will make it better DeDe," he looks at me with intensity in his eyes, I ended up dropping dishes on the floor, all of them shattering into tiny pieces. He orders me back into my cell, "do the special punishment to her," he winked at the guard who was four times my age.

I should have never trusted them. From then on I've never fully trusted older males.

I was thrown into my cell, literally. My knee scuffed on the pavement floor, I gripped it with all my might as it started to bleed. I look up at the man. He had menacing brown eyes with long, dry grey hair. He had a beard. I had only been 12 years old. Not even old enough to consent, in fact, I hadn't even had my first period until a year after the first time.

He takes his belt and starts to wipe me, then after a couple of minutes of suffering he stops and grabs my hair and pulls me up on my feet aggressively. "Take off your clothes," his raspy voice breaking the almost silence.

I hadn't gone to school, I didn't even know what sex was or that this was wrong until I was 15. So I did what I was told.

(YOU CAN READ NOW)

I bring myself back to reality, pins and needles in my chest. My body screaming to run, don't fight, go back to safety. Go to Gabriel. I take a painful breath, meeting my fathers eyes. A stranger, nothing but a stranger.

I walk closer to him, each step burning my feet. My body shaking with fear, I keep my posture slow but confident. "What do you want, father," I deadpan him.

"Please, come inside."
