“You are our Luna or will be once everything settles down and yes our safety. You really don’t remember anything when you woke up after you arrived here?”
“No, I don’t. I’m not going to hurt anyone. I just want to get my sister and we will be out of everyone’s way. Now open the door,” I demanded.
“Why don’t you have a shower? I will get you some clothes and bring you some breakfast.”
“I want to see my sister,” I say, sitting back down on the bed. Placing my head in my hands, I try to think of an escape plan. I know it is not going to be realistic while locked in this room.
“I will bring Lily in after you have a shower and breakfast, deal?” She tries to bargain with me.
“Fine,” I say storming off into the bathroom. Stripping off the gown, I realised I was completely bare under it, but that wasn’t the most startling piece of information. I was completely healed, not even a scar. I know I was in bad shape after our escape from Alpha David, and knowing I can’t heal properly, it’s either they have some crazy voodoo doctor or they gave me blood. In fact, I feel the best I have in years, not a single ache, no pain at all.
Preferring the crazy voodoo doctor, I walk over to the small mirror above the basin. Peering into the mirror, I jumped back, not expecting the reflection that was staring back at me. No scratches, no marks covered my skin, but my eyes were no longer their normal green. Instead, they were bright amber orange glowing dangerously back at me.
They gave me blood; they know what I am. Why haven’t they killed me? Nothing is making any sense. Why would they help two lowly Rogues?
Reid’s POV
I can’t believe my wolf would go against me. How dare he betray my trust. We are supposed to be a team, supposed to be one whole. He knows the promise I made and yet he still went against me for her. Marked her against my will, all because she has spelled his wolf with her phony humanity. Hybrids are an abomination; they are barbaric savages. They exist to kill, and it’s incredible she has managed to conceal her true self this long. To hide the monster she truly is. It is only a matter of time until she slips up and kills someone.
“Do you hear yourself? Really Reid, you sound like a whiny bitch. I did you a favour, you’ll see.”
“I am not whining, you betrayed me. If you were doing me a favour, you would have slaughtered her,” I tell him before shoving him back to where he belongs.
I haven’t slept in two days since he marked her. Concerned he will force his way back in control when I’m vulnerable, I won’t allow him to cause more irreversible damage. Leaning back on my office chair, I try to rest my eyes. When that doesn’t work, deciding I need more caffeine, I walk down the hall towards the kitchen. On the way, I find Lily stopped outside the infirmary door with Wendy, the nurse. Lily, noticing me, starts walking towards me, before stopping in front of me. She is wearing her butterfly pyjamas again, carrying her duffle bag, which she hasn’t let go of since she arrived. “Are you visiting Ari?” she asks.
Her innocent little face peers up at me. It’s not her fault her sister is a monster. “No, I’m getting coffee. Why are you still in the same pyjamas? Don’t you have more clothes in the bag?” I ask, reaching for her bag, but she tugs it closely to her chest, shaking her head.
“No, just my school clothes. We didn’t have time to grab anything else.”
“What do you mean? Who are you running from, Lil? It’s okay, you can tell me.”
Lily doesn’t say anything, just steps back, walking back to the door where the nurse is waiting.
“You’re not letting her in there, are you?” The nurse seemed confused, and Lily looked up questionably.
“I promised she could see her sister, Sir.”
Grabbing the nurse’s arm tightly, I pull her to me. “You are aware she is a Hybrid, aren’t you?”
“Yes sir, but she isn’t dangerous. She is in control.”
“For now, she is. Don’t let her fool you.”
“Sir, I understand your dislike for Hybrids, but Ryder marked her. She is our Luna and your mate. How long are you going to deny her?” Wendy’s reply touched a nerve.
