The Human Luna

You Shouldn't Have Done That

Adrian's P.O.V

"Dude, are you okay?"

Jack and Katie could tell I was feeling uneasy. Something was making my wolf growl, this time it was way angrier than when I had attacked Ailani.

Thinking of her made me dip into a sense of comfort, but just as the pain began to subside – it came back again, twice as harmful. It was as if someone was here in the room with me, kicking me in the guts and banging my head against the wall.

"You look like you're about to die," Jack said, one eyebrow raised at me with suspicion. Neither of them had moved an inch to help me. "What the fuck is going on with you?"

I groaned in response, grabbing at my neck as a burning sensation strangled my throat. I looked at my hands to check if there was blood but saw nothing – and yet I felt like I was being clawed viciously by another werewolf.

"Is there anything we can do to help you?" Katie asked, eyes scanning the room for something of use. She took a step closer to me, but my feral growl made her take two steps back.

"Stay away."

My wolf had officially taken over – breaking through the last bit of barrier I had to cage him in.

But I couldn't tell if the command was directed at Katie and Jack, or someone else that was touching what was mine.

Ailani's P.O.V

"So, you're a Luna, huh? What kind of Luna has no power to fight back?"

Amanda was at my face, her hands around my neck – fastened. Her and the other girls had been torturing me for the last 15 minutes. I was out of energy now.

She scoffed at me and turned around, shrugging her shoulders at the girls who were looking onwards at me with shame and disgust.

"No answer." She said, dragging her claws slowly across my throat. The burning sensation of my skin being ripped made me want to scream – but only a low moan came from my mouth. I could feel the blood dripping onto my collarbone.

"Awwww," Amanda said, "does it hurt?"

All of a sudden, she stopped and stepped back, and I breathed an overdue sigh of relief. As she walked back over to the group of girls – girls that were once my friends – I prayed silently that someone would come and end all of this. But they were swapping, taking turns to torture me.

Maddie was up next.

"Hmm, let's see." She started walking around me, like I was prey tied up in a spider's web. Her finger wiped some of the blood that was beginning to trickle down to my chest, and she tasted it. I cringed at the sight, and her face screwed up at the taste. "That's fucking awful!" She cried, spitting it back into my face. The girls laughed at my humiliation.

"You're no fucking Luna," Maddie began. "You think Adrian would want you as his Luna, look at yourself Ailani. Covered in blood, sweat and spit. You're human – which means your nothing."

Before I could answer in protest, a knock at the door jumped me out of my skin. Amanda looked at Maddie and then approached the door slowly.

"Who is it?" she spat.

"Open the door, Amanda. I have a delivery for you."

I didn't recognise the voice at all, but Amanda and the girls did. She opened it and a young man stepped in, his hair tied back in a man bun. If we were anywhere else, I would have said he was good looking. But the evil glance he gave me made me hate him all the same.
