*Wade POV*
I know I shouldn’t but I want to go see her again so badly. This morning she just wasn’t herself before I left. I wanted to stay there with her but the punishment of getting caught is worse than the worrying about her for the rest of the day. I wait till nightfall and head up to her room. There is only the smallest little sliver of soon tonight so it is pretty hard to see. But that is fine I have done this enough times that I don’t need much light. I jump in her window.
“Piper you still up?”
No answer. I cant see anything in her room.
I walk over and fumble around until I find her bedside lamp. I switch it on and gasp. There she is just laying there completely naked. There is blood everywhere. Her face and body are so bruised and battered. She is laying across the bed with her knees hanging off the side. She has dark hand prints around her neck. One of her arms is clearly broken sitting at the complete wrong angle. There are numerous lacerations all over her body. Between her legs is bruised and bloody. Her sheets are torn and tattered blood coating then.
I rush over. Tears are running. She looks dead.
I grab her in my arms I hold her tight to me. I am sobbing.
“Piper please no, you cant leave me. I don’t want to live in a world without you, I love you so much.”
I put me head on her chest. I try to control my sobs. I need to be able to listen. I control myself enough to be able to use my wolf hearing to hear her heart beat. It is so soft but it is still there.
She is still alive but only just.
“Please Piper please come back to me.”
I don’t know what to do. There is nothing I can do to help her there is nothing I can do to save her.
I just hold her close to me and rock back and forwards.
I try to pull myself together. This is not helping her. I need her wolf to do the work but I can help. I take out a blanket and lay it over one side of the bed and place her on it. I place her doona over her to try and warm her up. I put her arm back how is meant to be. I grab some wash clothes from the bathroom and clean her up the best I can.
Then I just lay beside her. Stroking her hair and willing her to be alright.
She is strong now but her injuries are significant.
I must have actually drifted off to sleep. I wake and look at her. Her face swelling has gone down. Her arm is healed. Her lacerations are slowly healing but she is still out cold.
I lay there just staring at her beautiful face. I don’t even understand how someone can treat their own mate like this. A mate is someone that you are meant to love and cherish till the end of time. How could he do this to her?
He must be stopped and soon. Time is running out.
Her eyes start to open. I stroke her hair.
“Its okay baby girl I am here”
“Wade?”
“Yeah baby I am here, don’t move you still have a lot of healing to do.”
She breaks down and cries.
“I just wanted to die, why aren't I dead?”
“No Piper you don’t want that”
“I do, its too much Wade, I am sorry”
I just pull her close. She is crying. I am crying.
She wanted to die? She cant leave me like this.
“You cant leave me Piper I need you”
She doesn’t answer her sobbing just increases.
*Pipers POV*
Its been 4 days since I nearly died my body is still so bruised and battered. Everything hurts. Jason hasn’t given it a rest. He just keeps coming to me everyday. He still hits me. He doesn’t let me have a break. He doesn’t care that he nearly killed me that night. Wade came and saw me the night after again but then I haven’t seen him for 2 nights.
I am lonely and this want to die is only growing. Days by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. I just cant do this anymore.
I try to think straight. I can't I am drowning in a pit of despair. My birthday only reminded me that I have endured this for over a year
I need to do this. I know now how to do it. I just need to make it happen.the world would be better off. Wade will be better off. I just can't survive it anymore I can't go through anymore abuse. It's just all too much. It's too much for one person. How did my life end up like this. My life was on track I was going to be Wade's girl we were going to run away and be together. Just us. I was going to be loved. I was going to the most important girl in the world to the only guy that ever mattered. Now I am stick with an abusive fated mate. My chosen mate the one I want kiss touch and be with, I can't! I hardly even see him lately. It is just too dangerous. I want to be in his arms, where I am safe and loved. I miss him coming to me every night. I control my emotions the best I can. I don't need Jason to interrupt me. I sneak out of my room and go to Jasons office. I have to be really quick so he doesn't sense it. I run in the door and go for what I am aiming for the solid silver knife. I grab it stick it in my pocket quickly close the door and head over to the kitchen I just want to see if Jason comes up. I don't need him ruining my plans and I need a little time to accomplish them. I tidy up for half an hour before I decide I am safe.
I head to my room and sit on my bed. My heart in racing. I need to calm. I take a few deep breathes and grab the knife out of my pocket.
I stick it to my wrist I have to do this fast if I cut as many places as I can the silver will stop my fast healing. Hopefully giving me enough time to bleed out. When I am nearly dead I will contact wade and tell him I am sorry and that Jason is weakened. I would like to die in his arms but I can't risk him stopping me. So U will just die alone, alone like the last year of my life.
I strengthen my resolve it's going to be easy, it will all be over soon.
I start cutting I need to go faster. I see the blood start to run out. I cut straight down the arteries the blood is poring out. Good I smile to myself.
Suddenly a hand is on the knife I look up.
"Who are you?"
"This is not the way"
"This is the only way"
She takes the knife from me and places a hand on my cut. It stops bleeding almost instantly. Then she sits down beside me on the bed and O just lean into her shoulder and cry. She rubs my back and I just let it all out. When I finally finish I sit back and study her. She is about in her mid 50s maybe. She has Long silvery white hair but her face is flawless milky white she has the lightest shade of blue eyes. She bearly seems to glow.i ask her again
"Who are you?"
I think I know the answer to this but it can't be true.
"You already know who I am"
"But it can't be, why would you come to me?"
"Because your the destined Luna of the crescent moon pack"
"I am not the Luna and Jason will never accept me as Luna"
"But you are and you will be"
This makes no sense. I think for a bit.
"How could you tie me to him"
She looks at me sadness in her eyes
"It is needed everything you have been through and will go through is necessary"
I start crying again. Why would I need to go through this for what purpose. She speak again.
"You just need to sleep and you need to dream"
"But in my dreams I am going to die"
"No your not, just accept to darkness. Don't scream let it in"
I look down. How do I let the darkness in? I look back up and she is gone. I hide the silver knife and clean up the blood.
I lay on my bed. I try to keep my mind clear. But emotions are still running high. I turn to my side and will myself to sleep.
I am in a large empty room. I look around wildly. How did I get here? There is not a single piece of furniture the walls are stark white. There is a shadow in the corner. The shadow is growing it is coming for me. I go to open my mouth to scream. No something isn't right. I don't want to scream. I don't need to scream. I close my eyes and let the darkness surround me. I snap my eyes open I look into the shadow. All o can see is black. I breathe calmly and relax into it. Suddenly I see 2 green eyes. They are hollow and emotionless. I would recognize them anywhere. Jason's eyes. Suddenly I see white. White light starts to come through the shadow.
I wake up. What was that? It doesn't make any sense. Why did the moon goddess want me to see that?
Jason is the shadow well yes I had already guessed that. But I had never seen the white light before. What was it. Was it telling me Jason could be defeated?
I don't know maybe a am clutching at straws. It means nothing. I roll over in bed. I am more confused than ever now. I stare out the window to the moon that is lightly shadowed by the curtains but it do full and bright and bathing the room in a white glow. It is bright. A bright white light?
I smile as I hear some shuffling. Suddenly there he is illuminated by the moon light. My Wade. I have missed him so much. He just standing there for a moment with the white light surrounding him. It looks like he is glowing white.
Could it be?
Is wade the white light?
Can he overcome the shadows?
Can he overcome his brother?
I don't this dream brought me no clarity only confusion.
