Daughter of the Moon

Chapter-2

Karen's POV:

It's done, I couldn't come to peace with the fact that I have broken up with Elio.

It still hurts to think that he cheated on me with my best friend. I ran to my house with the blurry vision I had all the way. I lock myself in the room.

Elio and I were named the best couple on our whole campus. But all this time he had other intentions. Today our 5 years relationship came to an end.

Being raised as an orphan all I ever imagined was a happy life with Elio and our kids. But he smashed my dreams. I feel hurt.

My head is filled with pain and it feels heavy. I wept till I let out my sorrow and dodged off on my bed.

I woke up with a jolt when I heard the rumbling sound of thunder. I look around to find myself in the dark. I guess I slept after hours of crying. I rolled to my bedside and turned on the lamp.

I unlocked my phone and there were 50 missed calls from Elio, then a message popped up on my screen.

"Babe, please open the door. I am right outside your place" it said.

But it's raining heavily, does he really waiting outside?

"Please Elio, leave me alone" I texted back.

"I need to talk to you, please," he said.

"What else is there to talk, to discuss el, sorry Elio"I texted him back.

"Open the damn door Karen" he yelled from the outside and started banging on my front door.

And that's the final straw. Who the hell does he think to yell at me after being caught with my best friend?

I got down to the front door and opened it.

"What?" I yelled at him.

"Baby, I am sorry. Trust me Karen it was Tasha who seduced me and she initiated the kiss" he said.

"And? What else? So you expect me to forgive you and hate my best friend?" I ask him.

"look Elio, I don't care whose mistake it is but, it's both of you in it and now I can't get back to you or her. It is done. Goodbye"I say and shut the door in his face without even listening to him.

The tears which I tried so hard to hide came out flowing down my cheeks. I was afraid if I stood there for one more second, I might break down in front of him but I want to show that it won't affect me.

I heard the continuous banging and I yelled "get the f**k out of here and my life at once Elio".

The door banging stopped and I took a breath in. I felt the silence and could hear my own breathing. I let out a sigh. Finally, I was able to do it.

It's better to come out of toxic relationships than staying in there and regretting later.

I hear my doorbell ring this time. Elio, why the hell you are trying to test my patience? I thought to myself. It rang again. I let out a deep sigh and got up on my knees.

I open the door with force and all my fury faded when I spot a small baby in a basket at my doorstep. She is looking at me with her big eyes.

Her face is so pleasant that made me smile, she made me happy when I held her. I got worried and looked around to spot someone. Why would anyone leave an infant at someone else's doorstep?

I took the baby inside as it was raining cats and dogs. She started crying after hearing the sound of thunder. I cooed her.

I feel like protecting her with my every being. I finally succeeded in making her sleep after trying for hours. I put her on my bed and secured her sides with pillows. I went through her basket and found a note.

"Whenever you feel like something is wrong with the baby or if you think she is being different, please call the following number. Please take care of the baby. Her life is in danger" the note said.

I kept it aside and started giving a thought about the series of events that happened today. Maybe it's god's sign of telling me to move on. I can move to the new city, start a job and take this baby for adoption.

Maybe she came to bring change in me. I lived enough like an orphan and I don't want this little baby to go through all that. I will be her mother. I decided.

But what is all about the 'danger' thing? Is her life really in danger? I should take her away from this place then.

I will protect her like my own.

Doctor's POV:

I didn't think it would be safe to keep Selene with me, so I decided to give her up. I put her in front of someone's doorstep and hid behind bushes. To make sure that the human takes the baby, if not I decided to take Selene back with me.

Luckily this lady accepted Selene and I watched her for 2 days. I found out that she adopted Selene. I felt happy.

I wanted to raise Selene on my own but given the circumstances, I know the nightwalkers pack will start searching for Selene and even me as well.

Alpha Xavier (NightWalker's Pack Alpha):

I don't want to listen to your lame excuses. Get me the baby. I want her. I will wait but fill me with good news.

Take a few more people if needed, and search everywhere, every corner of the earth.

Use witches and try to track her. Always keep a few soldiers around MoonStone pack borders.

"But Alpha, it's just a barren land now" my Beta Henry spoke.

"Do what I say"I roared which made him flinch.

"Okay Alpha" he bowed.

"If in case the pack members or even the baby may get to the pack lands and I don't want to let go of any chances," I say.

"The MoonStone pack is ours now. If they want it they have to fight and take it"I continued.

"Okay Alpha," he said and left the place.

I will have the girl for myself and will grow more powerful, I let out an evil laugh.

(Time Skip to 8 years)

Karen's POV:

After that day 8 years ago, my life changed for the best.

I moved out of that city and moved on with life as well. Met Jack, found true love, and built a very sweet family.

I have another daughter now, Olivia Stark. And I named my elder daughter Ava Stark.

When I met Jack and told him about my situation, he stood with me and gave his full support to me and this family. But unfortunately, 4 years ago I had to lose him in an accident.

Over the years I grew very protective of Ava. She is of 9 years now. The incidents of last year made me more overprotective.

It was when I started to see changes in Ava. She became strong all of a sudden. I got shocked when she moved the bed on her own when her doll fell under the bed.

And the other day she started howling like a wolf while watching some fantasy movie. She kept on saying how she feels powerful and all. It made me worried and that's when I remembered the note Ava had with her when I found Ava that night.

I called on that number and I heard a male voice from the other end.

I told him everything and he asked me to visit him along with Ava.

"How can I trust you?" I ask him.

"You got no other choice. Please come to the address which I will text you. I will be waiting" he said.

Being unsure about what to do, I still visit him and he gave some injections to Ava.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Trust me, please," he said.

"Are you the one who left her on my doorstep? Why did you do that? Why did you ask me to protect her?" I attacked him with questions.

"Yes, it's me. I can't give you any details but all you have to do is to keep her safe. Does she know that you are not her mother?" he asked.

"I will never let her know. I am her mother and she is my daughter, that's it"I say in furry.

I can't even imagine how Ava will react if she ever comes to know that she is an Orphan.

"Why her life is in danger? Who is after her?" I ask.

"All I can say is, there are some supernatural beings around humans. Supernatural being exists and they are after her" he said and it would be a lie if I say that I didn't get scared.

"Will she feel the symptoms again?" I ask not knowing how to describe it.

"Yes, maybe when she turns 16. Just remember that you have to bring her gain before she turns 16" he said.

"I will," I said and left the lab.

That man looks handsome but gave me creepy vibes.

After listening to him I got more scared and decided to keep Ava close to me always.

Alpha Xavier:

"Sorry Alpha, "Beta said.

Its been more than 8 years and they could not find the girl

"Aren't you Ashamed? You can't even find a baby? How come you call yourself Beta of Night Walker's pack?

Use magic and find her" I ordered them.

Pack of useless wolves, I spoke under my breath.
