The Abused Luna

chapter 42

Zion Xavier POV:

I too thought the same as my wolf, and thus I decided to bring her back to the Night Howlers pack, as I did not want to leave an unconscious girl in the middle of the forest unattended.

Then I carefully carried her on my back, and ran back to our pack territory.

I have already informed Clint that I was bringing a girl, to our pack, and asked his mate Casey to be present there too, just incase we need her help in assisting the unconscious girl.

Once I reached the pack house, the beta couple was already standing on the porch waiting for my return.

When they spotted me, they quickly came to my side, and carefully lifted the unconscious girl from my back.

I picked up the clothes that Clint had brought for me, and went behind a tree to shift back into my human form.

Once I had shifted, I came out from behind the tree, and was greeted by Clint’s mischievous, yet questioning look combined with his sly smile.

“Who is that beauty, bro? “, Clint asked slyly, and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, wanting me to smack him across his head.

***this guy!!!... Can’t he be serious, and act mature for a few minutes? . Or at least can’t he pretend to be like one… .

“I am going to convey your exact words of ‘beauty', that you had said just now about that girl to you dear mate, Casey “, I rebuked back, making him frown in annoyance.

Then I went towards Casey, who was struggling to trying to hold that girl singlehandedly, leaving Clint to grumble to himself behind me.

“let me carry her, Casey. Which room have you prepared for her? ”, I offered, and asked Casey, about the room arrangements, which she has made for the new girl.

After putting the girl on the bed, and carefully made her to lie down on it, Casey covered her with a blanket. Then we all stood around the bed, thinking about what to do next.

“Zion, who is she?. Where did you find her?. Why did you bring her to our pack?”, Casey started her usual interrogation, in curiosity, by grilling me with several questions all at once.

“that is what I wanted to get to know about this girl too? “, I said absent mindedly, while rubbing my face in tiredness.

“What?? “, both Clint, and Casey chorused at the same time.

“I do not know who she was, and where did she came from, guys”, I said, and put my palm on my forehead, as I was too tired, after all that continuous work load.

“Then how did you meet her?. And more importantly why is she unconscious???. What happened to her, Zion??”, Casey asked in confusion.

“ I went for a run, as I was not able to sleep. Then I happened to meet her, while chasing a rogue wolf, that was spying around the borders of our pack. She fainted due to the shock, as the rogue wolf was about to attack her. I did not want to leave her alone in the woods without any one to look after her, so I brought her to our pack”, I said in a single breath.

Hearing my reply, Casey got the gist of the whole situation, and nodded her head knowingly.

She quickly went to the attached bathroom in the room, and came back with a wet towel.

Casey, then went, and sat on the bed, near the girl, and wiped her face, and arms using the wet towel.

“Are you sure that you do not want to call the pack doctor, to see this girl?. I think taking her to the pack hospital seems like a good idea”, Casey said in the middle of her work.

“she just fainted in fear, Casey. After she has woken up, just in case, if she was hurt anywhere, and wanted to see the doctor, then we can ask the pack doctor to take a good look at her. Now, we should just let her to take a nice rest”, I said, since it was really early in the morning.

More like in the middle of the night. I did not want to disturb the pack doctor at this hour, for a mere fainting condition.

After wiping the girl's face, Casey neatly braided the loose hair of the girl, and covered her with a blanket again.

“wow… she looks so pretty, after wiping off all that mud, and dirt. Look at her, guys. I wish I could see what was the color of her eyes would be. I am sure that it must be as beautiful as she looks“, Casey mumbled the last line more to herself.

‘hazel… . Bright, and shinning hazel colored eyes', I said to myself internally.

After that we all went to our respective rooms, and decided to talk about the other things in the tomorrow morning.

**

The next day morning:

I woke up early as usual, and grabbed a quick breakfast in the kitchen, and headed to my office, as today I must allocate the necessary money needed for the next month’s expenses of the pack, as well as all the urgent files that needed my response.

While I was in the middle of reading an important file, all of a sudden, the door to my office was pushed open with a loud bang, and in came my little sister Zara, looking all giddy, and excited for some strange reason.

“Big brother!!.... “ Zara called out in her excited tone.

Behind her, other members of my family too followed, and occupied the seats in the room.

Zander, and Kevin came, and sat on the single corner side couches, while Clint, and his mate occupied the single beanie bag, with Casey sitting on top of Clint’s lap.

“big brother… big brother!!! “, Zara jumped in her spot, standing in front of my office desk.

“what is it, kiddo?. And what is with all of you guys, invading my office at the same time, that too the first thing in the morning?? “, I question randomly to no one in particular.

“Well, we heard something very interesting in the morning, from our beta couple. So we came to your office for some further info”, Kevin said with a smirk on his face.

I raised an eyebrow at Clint, and Casey questioningly, but those two fellows only avoided my glance, and looked elsewhere so casually.

“big brother!!!. I heard that you had brought a beautiful looking girl to our pack house, yesterday night. I wanted to go, and see that girl to verify how beautiful that girl was, but Casey said that the new girl was still taking rest, and that I should not disturb her”, Zara said in a low voice, as she was in a low mood. She pouted her face, and sighed , as if the air inside a big helium balloon was released in a slow motion.

“who is she, big brother?. Is she really beautiful looking like that duffer, Clint was saying??!!! “, Zara asked with an excited tone, the next second making me dumbfounded.

***ask our little sister about changing moods in a second, like in a blink of an eye.

“can you repeat again, about what did that guy said about that new girl to you, Zara dear?? “, Casey asked Zara, with a mocking smirk on her face.

But even though Casey directed the question to Zara, she glared at her mate, Clint, who was busy looking at the designs on the wall, which of course was as plain looking as a sheet of white paper, without any designs on them in real, making a futile attempt of trying to evade his mate’s killer glare.

“Oops… . Sorry, Clint. You said not to mention that you had said that the new girl was very beautiful looking, in front of Casey, right??. It slipped from my tongue, by mistake “, Zara said with the most innocent looking face, while clearly that little prankster was putting Clint on Casey’s immediate hit list.

“Ha… Ha… can we stop talking about the unwanted things, and talk about what we came here for???. Shall we, You nosy brat?? “, Clint asked, shifting the spot light from him.

“oh yeah… . I forgot about that. Tell me, big brother, who is she?. Why did you bring her to our pack?. Where did you find her??”, Zara shot question after question, unable to hide her curiosity.

“I do not know who she is, kiddo”, I replied, and closed the file that I was reading, as now I will not be able to read it anymore.

****especially with all these members of the interrogation team, ganging up in front of me.

“then????? “, Zander opened his mouth for the first time, since he entered my office room.

“Last night, I chased a rogue wolf that was lurking around our pack borders. While chasing, I missed it for a few minutes, and the next moment, that rogue wolf was trying to attack that girl.

So I saved her. Since she was unconscious, I brought her to our pack. If she wanted to go somewhere, after she wakes up, I will allow her to do so freely ", I said to them.

“And Kevin, send some of our elite trackers to the place where I killed that rogue wolf. Maybe we can find some clues around there”, I said to my Delta, who was enjoying this conversation too much, as if he was told some bed time stories.

“yeah, bro.. Consider it done “, he said.

But the next second, we heard some sounds from the downstairs, like the sound of something fragile, or article made of glass, falling down on the ground, and breaking.

Hearing the sudden loud noise, we all rushed out of my office, and went to the first floor, from where the sound came from.

The moment I turned around the corner, I stopped, and stood still, with everyone stopping right behind me.

There stood the girl, I rescued yesterday night, from the rogue wolf. She looked terrified, and she was literally shaking like a leaf, in fear.

She must have heard the noise of our footsteps, as she looked in our direction, with an horror stricken face, like a deer that was caught in the headlights.

Seeing us, she looked down, at the broken pieces of the glass vase on the ground, and then at us, more particularly at me to be exact.

Then the next second, she started to mumble something to herself, and moved back away

from us, and hit the wall, while not taking her eyes off us, even for a second.

We all stood there in confusion, and shock, as why she was behaving like that.

I took a step forward towards her, but the next second, she screamed at the top of her voice in her scared state, and slid down the wall in pure fear.
