The Abused Luna

chapter 52d

Zion Xavier pov:

I closed my eyes, and imprinted this feeling deep inside of me, and enjoyed this moment, to my heart’s content.

My inner wolf was so happy that he howled, and wagged his wolf tail in pure happiness. He was purring, and acting like a love sick puppy.

“Look who says that. The one, who was sneakily holding our mate’s hand is you, and not me!!!… do you need a mirror to see what your stupid face looks like now…. Let me tell you. You look Like a ‘hopeless romantic’ guy from the movies”, my inner wolf mocked me teasingly.

Truth to be told, my inner wolf was right on spot about me being on cloud on too. But i would never admit that to that crazy wolf.

“shut up. You duffer. You are having fun, all because I was holding our mate’s hand. Who was the one, that was purring like a kitten, instead of a wolf, a moment ago “, I rebuked back wittily, making my inner wolf to snort at me, and he went to the back of my mind.

I turned my attention back on Aurora, and a lone cluster of hair was on her face, blocking her eye.

I slowly shifted in my seat, and reached out.

And then I took that cluster of hair, and swiped it to the back of her ear.

And just like that, I sat there, and looked at my lovely mate sleep to my heart’s content, and held her hand, while caressing it softly.

When it was around the middle of the night, all of a sudden, my mate started to frown in her sleep.

And the very next second, she started to thrash around, and cry in her sleep, making me anxious as hell.

“no… n… no… . Stop…. . . Stop!!!. No!!!”, suddenly, Aurora started to mumble in her sleepy state repeatedly.

Only then I realized that she was having a nightmare. Quickly I got up from my chair, and sat on the edge of the bed, while trying to hold her little body steady, and not allowing her move freely, as she was about to hurt her head on the bed post in her thrashing around scenario.

I leaned down, and held her close to me, and blocked all her movements. And it was pretty easy for me, as she was really small, and weak, in comparison with my strong, and big, and muscularly built body, and it made it easy for me to control her movements in a few seconds.

“Shhhh.. Shhhh… . Its okay..its okay..You are safe. Don’t be scared. I am here… its okay… it was just a nightmare, Aury. It was just…a nightmare“, I cooed her in her sleep, making her to stop her thrashing slowly, bit by bit, later which she stopped doing all that whimpering, and thrashing, all together in a few minutes.

Now only low whimpers were heard from her.

I checked twice for any sudden movements from her, and then slowly released her from my hold, and sat on the hospital bed, near Aurora’s head.

In her sleepy state, she slowly turned around in the bed, and faced towards my direction.

The next second, she moved closer to where I was sitting right now, and slightly nuzzled her head in my side, making my breath to hitch to several high levels.

She then found a very comfortable spot on my body, and then struck her face on my side, and went back to her sleep again.

*** this cuddly little bunny… does she have any idea just what she was doing, and what were the effects it has on me??!!.

I thought to myself, and shook my head in defeat.

I reached out, and gently caresses her hair slowly, aiding her in her sleep, making her to lean close to my hand subconsciously, like a little puppy asking for a nice scrubbing on its head.

I smiled lightly, thinking about the similarities, and then continued to caresses her head.

She looked so angelic, and innocent, even when she was looking all pale, and lifeless like a piece of white paper, due to her health condition.

But I know for a fact that it was quite the opposite. Though she looks like she was all okay on the outside, she had suffered a lot in her life, and all those things that she had to endure all by herself, had made quite a deep shadow in her heart, making her both emotionally, and mentally traumatic to it, even till now.

When I was sure that Aurora was in her deep sleep, I slowly got up from the bed, and sat on the chair near the side of the bed, and resumed my earlier position, as I did not want to scare her, by sitting close to her, when she wakes up from her sleep.

Aurora pov:

I ran, and ran till I felt like my legs would fall off, due to all of that fast running.

I do not know why I was running in the first place, and from whom, or from what I was running from.

But all I know was that, I had this huge urge to run away from something, that was chasing me without giving up, and my adrenaline was pumping high, due to my anxious state.

The only thought that popped in my mind was that I should keep running to be safe from the danger, and that some one, or something was chasing me continuously, making me to be unwilling to stop, even though I felt like my legs don’t belong to me anymore.

But then again, the very next second, in a blink of an eye, I found myself standing against a tree, with my back leaning against the trunk of the above said tree.

There was endless darkness in front of me. It was so dark, and gloomy every where around me, with not even a ray of moon light to see something, or anything for that matter.

It was like a total black out on a new moon day, ( when there was no moon on the sky to light up the night).

All I could hear were the sounds of the various insects chirping, and crickets making noises in the dark night.

Then I heard it loud, and clear. The sound of something like a feet hitting, or running on the forest floor, making my heart to beat loud, when every time I heard that terrifying sound in the dark night.

“No…. . No…. Stop… .. “, the words came out of my mouth, when I was running aimlessly.

But I was not sure, as to about what I was talking about though.

I was feeling very nervous, and my heart was in a state that I felt like, it would jump out of my chest region, anytime now.

When I felt that the darkness around me was engulfing me, and making me feel like it was closing on me, I started to panic in fear, and I was unable to take even a breath.

I looked around for something, or anything to hold on to, so that I could use that to escape from this terrifying darkness, but to my bad luck, I found nothing around me. There was only endless darkness around me.

Then I heard some different sound, a voice….. A deep baritone voice, in the distance. Like a hope of light ray that was shinning in the dark alley, I concentrated more on that voice, sounding at the distance.

The more I focused on the deep voice, I felt a little bit normal, as that voice gave a new stroke of strength to me.

The voice was so deep, and alluring that I was unknowingly compelled to listen to it.

After a few seconds, I heard it like a crystal clear water.

That deep baritone voice said these words to me.

“Shhhh.. Shhhh… . It was okay.. You are safe. Don’t be scared. I am here… its okay… it was just a nightmare, Aury. It was just…a nightmare“, softly coaxing my wounded soul, making me to yearn for it more.

Just these words alone, made me feel so touched, as these words made me feel safe, and gave me a hope.

These were the words I was yearning to hear for a very long time, since the death of my mother, Luna Lily.

As I had always wanted someone to say that they were with me, and that I don’t have to be scared.

Thus when I heard these words of comfort, I felt like a peacock feather was caressing my bleeding heart, giving me instant comfort, which was beyond words could describe it.

So I closed my eyes, listened to that soothing voice, and then fell into a deep abyss.

Then it happened yet again.

I stood leaning against a tree with my back facing the tree.

But now, the difference was that I could see the things around me clearly,unlike the many other times.

The moment, I looked around, my eyes caught the sight in front of me.

The stormy silver grey eyes… that looked So sharp, and looked very calculative.

There, at a distance, stood a big black wolf, in a size bigger than a normal alpha wolf, with soul piercing stormy silver grey eyes, looking straight at me, like drilling holes in to my inner soul.

I was both startled, and surprised by the view in front of me, and looked at the big black wolf in front of me, without even blinking my eyes.

Some how, the big black wolf rose my curiosity, and it intrigued me more. And that was how, it got my undivided attention.

But the next scene that I saw, made my eyes to widen in both shock, and fear, and I started shaking like a fallen leaf in pure terror.

The big black wolf in front of me, was looking straight in to my eyes, and it’s snout was dripping with red blood.

When it snarled, the exposed teeth inside it’s mouth, was tainted with the red blood, and more so, the blood was still dripping from the corner of it’s mouth, on to the ground.

But the next second, when I blinked my eyes, The surroundings around me changed quickly, and now I was standing in a different place.

The sight of the big black wolf, with it’s snout filled with dripping blood, made me to dive deeper into my own memory lane, which I buried deep within me, in the back of my mind, and did not wanted to ever think about those memories.

It brought back the memories, back from that rogue attack incident, when I was a little kid, the time when I lost my dear mother altogether forever.

I saw the scene, in which a rogue wolf was lunging at my mother with an intend to kill, replay slowly in front of my eyes, like shot by shot.

“no… .. No!!!!... Mommy.!!!!! “, I yelled desperately, and started to cry, and scream, wanting some one to hear my yelling, and come to save my mother, from the attack of that rogue wolf.

In between my cries of help, I heard an anxious, yet concerned voice calling out my name repeatedly, asking me to wake up..and To open my eyes..

“Aury… .. open your eyes!..... Aurora!!!!. Wake up….WAKE UP!!!!!! “, the voice yelled making me to obey those words of concern, subconsciously.

I opened my eyes in a startle, and sat up in a sitting position. My lungs seemed as if it was deprived of getting oxygen, making me to take a few long, and deep breaths.

Then I felt it, in my state of dizziness… A warm, and big hand holding me close to a warm body, and rubbing my back in a comforting manner, which was very weird for me, as no one had ever did something like this for me, in a very long period of time.

“Shh… . Its okay… . You are okay. Everything will be fine”, I heard a deep male voice, comforting me, all of a sudden. The same deep, and baritone voice, that rang in my ears when I felt like the darkness around me was devouring me.

At the speed of light, I turned around my head to see, only to be met with the bright sparkling pair of stormy silver grey eyes, which I saw a moments ago in my sleep.

All the hairs on my body stood up in fear, and I felt a trail of sweat dripping down along the length of the spine of mine.

I blinked my eyes several times, and when I opened my eyes to see again, the person to whom those pair of stormy silver grey eyes belongs to was none other than to Zi…Zion Xavier, the Alpha of the Night Howlers Pack, himself.

Without thinking for a second, I started screaming my lungs out in fear, as I suddenly remembered that the big black wolf with same pair of stormy silver grey eyes, with blood dripping from its snout was none other than him, it’s his wolf form.

I cried, and screamed in terror, as the only thing that repeatedly ran through my mind was the scene, where a rogue wolf killed my mother brutally, and the black wolf with sparkling stormy silver grey eyes starring right back at me.

“It’s okay… . Don’t be afraid, it’s only me… . No one is here. So don’t be scared. I am here”, Alpha Zion said in a low, and concerned voice, making me to think back, that I have heard this deep male voice some where else before. As if the voice was very familiar to me.

I forget to take a breath in my confused state, and which made me to have problems in my breathing, making me to look like a fish out of the water.

All I could see in front of me was a blurry figure of Alpha Zion Xavier, as my eye sight was blocked by a layer of fresh tears.

Just then, the door to the hospital room was opened from the other side, and in came running, a man wearing a white coat, with disheveled hair, like he came here running all the way, from where he was a moment ago.

The entry of the new man made me to be even more paranoid, and all that anxiety made me to have a panic attack.

“Aury…. It’s okay… . You are safe. I am here… . I will never let anything happen to you, Aury . Listen to me. Just look at me“, Alpha Zion said to me in the most soft voice he could muster, making me to have a strong urge to want to believe in him.

Only now I remembered that it was the same black wolf, back in the meadow, and in front of the school. It was him, Alpha Zion, who saved me twice.
