The Abused Luna

chapter 53d

Zion Xavier pov:

Due to my tiredness, both emotionally, and physically, I slightly closed my eyes, so that I can rest them for a little bit. But without me knowing, I fell asleep, while sitting on the chair.

I woke up with a jerk, when I felt that someone was squeezing my hand, trying to hold it as strong as possible.

I quickly opened my eyes as I knew that it was Aurora, who was the one doing that to my hand.

When I looked at her, yet again, she was whimpering in her sleep, due to her nightmares.

****damn those stupid nightmares.

I cooed in her ear, and said comforting words again, so that she would feel safe.

But the moment she woke up, she started gasping for air, as if she had ran a long marathon.

I gently rubbed her back to ease her anxiety levels, from having a nightmare, like I used to do to Zara, when she was a little kid.

But the next second, like a light bulb had went off, she quickly turned in my direction, and looked straight in to my eyes.

Her lovely pair of hazel eyes that did not have a correct focus in it, looked straight into my silver grey eyes, making me to feel happy.

Because I was yearning to have an eye contact with my mate, all these times.

But before I could fully enjoy my little happiness, my mate started to freak out looking at me, more specifically my eyes, and started to back away from me.

She screamed, and cried, while curling herself on the other side of the bed, away from me.

Just then, the door to the hospital room was opened, and in came, chief doctor Mr. Ravens.

Aurora looked at him, and behaved as she did looking at me. She freaked out, and started gasping like a fish that was taken out of water.

“Alpha Zion… she is having a panic attack. Do something. She is scared of me, and screams when I approach her”, the Chief doctor mind linked me.

Without wasting a second, I called out my mate's name, and made her to focus on me, and only me.

“Look at me, Aury. It’s okay.. You are safe here. With me. You Don’t have to be scared, Aury “, I said in the most soft voice I could muster, and successfully got her attention.

Then slowly I approached her, and pulled her into my embrace, safely covering her with my warmth.

After a lot of coaxing, Aurora’s panic attack stopped, making me to sigh a breath of relief.

I looked down, and saw that my little mate had curled herself into a tiny ball like a kitten, and held my arms, using both of her hands, in a tight grip, as if she was afraid that if she would loosen the grip on me, I would disappear the next second.

I patted her head softly, and managed to put her to sleep, while the chief doctor added few medicines to calm my mate’s condition in her iv drip.

My inner wolf was very much happy, as it was the first time, we both were spending more time with our lovely little mate. And more importantly, I was holding her close to me in an embrace….

***hopeless romantic moment…. But who cares anyway… . Not me though.

Aurora pov:

It has been a week that I was in the pack hospital after that rogue attack incident.

The chief doctor, Mr. Ravens said that I fractured a bone in my left leg, and that I have to be admitted in the pack hospital to be under the observation, as I have a very slow healing capacity, compared to the other werewolf member.

He openly said that I was under nutrition, and that I was having low healing powers compared to that of a normal human being.

So here I am, sitting on the hospital bed covered with the typical white sheets, and white walls all around me.

All these days that I was admitted in the pack hospital, Casey, and Zara both accompanied me, as long as they could.

They both practically lived, or more like moved into this hospital room with me.

Zara was not with me, only when she goes to her school. The other guys would also come to visit me, and they would hang out in my hospital room, as they treated this room more like their play room now.

And to be honest, I got used to their presence in my daily life, in these days. I even got close to them, and had a normal conversation with them, without any fear in me.

The most memorable moments were when they taught me how to play card games, and included me in their games. Clint even went a step further, and taught me all the cheating tricks, he use to win a match.

I had never played in my life before, (that was after the death of my mother), the first reason being that I had no time to spare to do other things like playing, and the second, and most important one was that there was no one in that pack, who wanted to play, or spend their time with me.

I really liked this group of people, and they were more like my friends now, and treated themselves as my elder brothers. They openly declared that both Zara, Casey, and I was the same to them.

The person, who got so close to me, and can start a conversation so easily with me was Clint, Casey’s mate.

He often praises the food that I make, and would always whine saying that he missed the foods, that I cook for them.

He went a step ahead, and even made a list of foods that I should prepare for him, on account of celebrating my discharge from the hospital, once I was allowed to leave the pack hospital.

And most importantly, there was one other person, who often accompanies me regularly, other than Casey. It was, Zion Xavier, the Alpha of the pack, himself.

Truth to be told, I freaked out at first, when I saw him. His blood dripping wolf form reminded me of that traumatic rogue attack incident in which I lost my mother.

But he easily handled my freak out self like a pro, and with so much patience, and care, that I forgot that he was the one, who was rumored as the most ruthless Alpha in the southern region.

And I was really surprised by my own actions, as I did what he asked me to do, without resisting it.

His deep, and baritone voice, that was mixed with authority, and pure concern for me, compelled me to listen to his words.

It was like something inside me made me to do what he ask me to do.

I was even afraid of the chief doctor, Mr. Ravens at first, and Alpha Zion was the one, who hugged me to him, when I started getting nervous on seeing, and letting new people near me.

It was difficult for me to trust a new person, after all that I had experienced in the past few years.

But both the shocking, and surprising thing to me was that I took solace in Alpha Zion’s presence, which even surprised me more.

And I do not know the reason myself, as to why I was so comfortable with his presence.

May be, because he saved me twice, and that I subconsciously started trusting him, that he would protect me from any dangers. I really did not know…

He would often stay with me overnight, and sit on the chair near the window.

Whenever I freaked out, and opened my eyes due to my nightmares, he would always be there to comfort me. He even held my hand all through out the night, one day.

The pair of stormy silver grey eyes, which made me to be afraid, was no longer scary looking, to me.

Instead those pair of stormy silver eyes were like a comforting safe zone for me.

Whenever I was troubled, and looked up, those pair of stormy silver eyes would look into my pair of hazel eyes in an comforting manner, instantly making me to feel safe, and secure.

I have this weird kind of feeling within me. It was the sense of security, when Alpha Zion was around me. This was one that puzzles me more than anything these days.

But I was starting to be afraid, and worried about this weird kind of feeling of mine.

Because this feeling of some sort of attachment, or more like attraction was the similar feeling that I had felt back at the violet moon pack, for my ex mate, when I did not know that he was my mate.

I was having that same weird sort of fuzzy feeling deep inside me, whenever Alpha Zion was in the vicinity around me.

Am I feeling, or having some sort of attraction towards Alpha Zion??. Is this what they call as the ‘emotional dependence', as he took care of me in my critical times????. All these thoughts were making me feel too restless.

This thought alone was scaring the hell out of me, as this pack have become my new home. I have a set of friends of my own, and even created a identity for myself, with my own efforts.

I earn my living expenses, and was given respect, and love in this pack. And I truly love, and cherish this new family of new friends, and this new home, that I got as long as they allow me to stay here.

I do not want to mess this little world, which I have created for myself, with my stupid feelings, and crazy thoughts, about which even I was not clear about what it was.

That was why I made up my mind to stop all these silly thoughts, and wanted to eradicate all these puzzled emotions of mine.

'Because now I have more things, that I cherish, and do not want to lose them', I thought to myself, as I fidgeted with the necklace around my neck, which Aunt Tara gifted me on my 18th birthday.

I never took it off from around my neck, from the day I ran from my old pack, as it was like an article that always reminds me, that both my mother Lily, and Aunt Tara was always with me.

**’dear sweet moon goddess… .. Please me merciful enough to me, and do not snatch this new home, and friends from me', I prayed to the moon goddess earnestly.

When I opened my eyes, right after that, Casey came into the hospital room, with a stack of papers in her hands, which she will work on, while accompanying me.

I smiled at her, and blinked my eyes to clear my mind.

And as usual, Casey started to talk to me while doing her paper works..

Casey pov:

It has been over 10 days since the rogue attack incident, and Aurora was admitted in the pack hospital.

Today we were going to do the discharge procedure for her, since the chief doctor Mr. Ravens, gave the green signal for her, saying that Aurora could take a bed rest in the home itself, till her leg fracture heals.

Now she was much better than she was before, and she was able to walk slowly, with the help of the walking sticks.

And all this hurry burry discharge was all due to the whining of Aurora, as she said that she was bored to death, being idle, and only seeing the white walls of the hospital room.

Which was of course, heard by our dear big bad Alpha, who turned into a hopeless romantic now.

Thus, he persuaded the chief doctor, Mr. Ravens to push forward the discharge procedure of his mate.

I was in the middle of helping Aurora to pack her belongings from the hospital room, while waiting for Zion to come back, from finishing up the discharge paper procedure, so that we can say a big goodbye to these boring white walls, and go back home.

“You take rest, Rory. I will pack all the other things”, I said to Aurora, who was folding the clothes very eagerly, so that we can go to the pack house soon.

But instead of coming back to the room, after the work was done, Zion mind linked me, asking me to come to the office cabin of the chief doctor.

“Wait here, Rory. I will go, and fetch your medicines from the drug store”, I quickly made an excuse to her, who only nodded her head, and then busied herself in packing the other things.

I rushed to the cabin of the Chief doctor, and saw Zion waiting outside the office.

We both entered the chief doctor’s cabin, and found chief doctor, Mr. Ravens looking at a file very seriously.

Once he saw us, he nodded at us in greetings, and told us to take the seats in front of him.

“what is it that you wanted to speak to us about, doctor? “, Zion asked quickly as he was more worried about his mate.

“It was about Aurora. About her health conditions”, the doctor dragged the words more, making us to feel anxious.

**have you guys ever felt that telling us something, like a sad news, it was better to tell in a quick, and straight forward way…. Dragging the words, will only create suspense, and make us anxious as hell, and even more.

Zion, and I shared a look between us, and then looked back at the chief doctor, gesturing him to continue further.

“As I have already said before, that girl was too weak, and under nutritioned for her age. Her werewolf ability to heal her injures were far worst than compared to a normal human being. So keep an eye on her nutrition intake, and make her to eat more, and that too regularly”, the doctor said.

Then he continued further, while giving the file he held in his hands previously.

“Did you guys see these?. These were the reports of the tests that I did on that girl, Aurora. She was suffering from depression, and often tend to have panic attacks.

You guys need to take her to a nice mind health treating doctor to treat her depression. If you guys did not take this matter seriously, she might end up suffering more serious problems, and lose control of her senses, due to her depressed state”, the chief doctor said, and handed us all the medicines, and reports of Aurora to us.

I slowly sneaked a look at Zion, and I knew from the facial expression on his face, that he was about to do some thing.

We returned to the hospital room, and left the pack hospital with Aurora.

Once Aurora was back in her room, in the pack house, and settled comfortably, I decided to ask her about her past life experiences finally.

Which I was forced to do so, by Zion.

I looked at Aurora, who leaned against the head rest of the bed weakly, looking all fragile, and innocent at the same time.

I sat next to her, and took one of her hands into mine, and held it strongly in a comforting manner.

“mmm… . Uh.. Rory??... I wanted to ask you about something? “, I said to her, making her to look at me.

She nodded her head, telling me to speak further.

“what happened to you in the past?. How did you get all those scars on your body? “, I finally asked her in a single breath, making Aurora to sit still in shock.

***because I know that if I asked her slowly, then I would definitely mess things up…. I had to do this.. So I just asked her in a single go.
