THE ABUSED LUNA

Chapter 15 (Editing)

AVY'S POV

As I made my way through the crowd my vision wondered around in search of my mate. How can he leave me in the middle of our kiss. Sure that was unexpected and his actions in the past were unforgettable yet unforgivable but still something in me says I could trust him.

I just hope that he doesn't become like a monster he was in the past again. After a long search I halted near the woods which had been a part of Cresent moon territory, he was no where to find. What might have happen to him. Did he get kidnapped by his evil so-called dad. Did the former alpha used one of his antics and attacked the pack borders and Zander went to check it.

Numerous thoughts surged within me as I grew restless. I need to check the pack boarders now. We can not trust Micheal for a second. Earlier on when Zander introduced us I had to put up an act of being afraid of his foul presence. I was about to check on the pack boarders I heard soft mumbles. It was directed from the woods. I tried to walk to the source as I kept my guards up thinking who might it be.

Walking closer the scent hit me it relaxed me instantly. The scent belonged to my mate. From his mumbles I could only make out "have to wait" and "can't hurt her ".

His mumbles died as he wisphered my name. Wow he does have a nice sense of smell. Ahh! Who am I kiddinghe is an alpha of course he has been trained and given the power of greater sense he is the Alpha. The instant I heard my name I couldn't help but hide behind a tree as my heart beaten like it ran a marathon. What am I even thinking sure he already knows I am here then what is the point of hiding. Right because I can not face him after knowing he left me because his wolf became eager to mark his mate and here I am hiding.

"Avy" his voice called me from behind. I closed my eyes unwilling to face him. What is happening to me?

ZANDER'S POV

I called her name again as I halted behind her. Her heart paced faster as her fingers tried to grip on the bark of the tree. Her gesture is amusing as I smiled. She is nervous but why is the question.

"Avy!" I tried calling her again. She still doesn't respond instead she is standing there what liked trying to be invisible.

I reached for one of her clenched hands and gently rubbed it. She seemed to notice as her body relaxed. A sob broke between us and my heart clenched. Does she not like being held by me? Does she still believe I will hurt her?

"Avy, I promise not to hurt you, I admit I did before and I... I do understand that you don't.... you... don't want me to ... to be close and touch you ... but believe me I will never hurt you." I wisphered as a lone tear escaped my eyes.

"I....I do understand that you....you can't forgive me for... for what happened in the past and it's....it's ok you are right...right not to" My jaws clenched automatically after saying that as a sour taste lingered in my mouth.

'That's right you dumb human' Zane spat angrily. I had to shine him back as this is not the time.

With a heavy heart I let her hand go. As my eyes closed to let the tears fall freely. I turned around to avoid her seeing me.

I have regretted ever hurting her, of hurting a pack member and most importantly hurting an innocent soul. I relised all this when I was in the alpha camp. When I was away from my pack and peers. Those where the toughest time of my life as I realized how much I have hurt her soul. I jad tortured her with no limit. I admit her parents were traitors but her. She had no part in that yet I. I TORTURED HER.

Back in alpha camp when I had realized my mistakes I made a decision to make things right but I guess the moon goddess had other plans. She was my destined mate and that made it worse because now I don't have to make it up to one of my pack members rather my mate.

She has every right to despise me. The thought of your half hating you really feels like being stabbed by a silver knife over and over again.

I was deep in my thoughts when someone tapped my shoulder. I wiped my tears and faced her again.

"A.." before I could say anything her finger landed on my lips.

"Don't Zander just don't" she said. That statement made me confused as I tried to ask her what she ment.

"Just don't Zander please don't say a word please" she pleaded as her voice cracked. Obeying her I sealed my lips shut.

"I-I don't know what...what all this feeling are I don't even know what to do" her voice cut through the slince of the woods as I patiently waited for her not knowing how to react.

"I want to... to be with you I want us to be mate but everytime I admit that I remember my past" she countinue. Her remembrance of her past also haunt me. My mate, my precious mate is scared of me.

"But all the past are fading, I don't know how but...but it feels like it was a bad dream a nightmare and that it never happened it all never happened you treating me like nobody your friends hurting me. All seemed like a bad dream. And being here with you as your mate seems right. I don't know how but it feels safe and...and" before she could finish I couldn't help but pull her in for a hug. She cried as she clenched my shirt. Her tears moistened it but it didn't matter cause my condition is same as hers.

"I..I don't know what to do" she sobbed again. By now I could say that her hair which sat at the nape of her neck is wet by my tears but I cared less.

"I am sorry to Avy I am so so so sorry for hurting you I wish I could go back and and change it so it never happened" I sobbed while detaching abit to look at her face and wipe her tears as she hugged me again I held her closer, fear of losing her.

Her sobs gradually stopped as we held each other.

"Avy-"

'Where are you alpha its almost midnight and the moon is about to rise' Eric informed me.

"We should go now they are waiting for us" Avy said as we still embraced each other. I assume Brittany had already reached out to her as well.

I hummed in response as we made our way back while holding each other's hand.

All of the pack members made their way behind the tree as they stripped to shift in their wolf. Some of the females complained as they took time to strip due to the excessive accessory they had adored earlier. The kids were left on the ground in the care of those who couldn't shift yet and females who were pregnant.

The cracking of bones sounded scaring a few kids as they hid behind their sibling of anyone who were old.

One by one wolves emmensed. Seeing them the pups came out from their hiding place and stood bravely as their parents came near them giving them a lick. The pups giggled as they patted their wolf parents.

All the scenery was witnessed by the leaders as they proudly stood in their wolf form. Alas they weren't the only ones. In the crowd stood the owner of yellow eyes. His eyes pericied from one happy family to another as he tried to contain himself from killing them.

It was no doubt that he loathed them yet he could not make a move. His wolf was also wanting to rip them without mercy and being in the wolf form will only enhance the need of blood yet if it weren't for his years of practice then today would have been the day.

As the clouds sided to reveal the moon all the pack members stood facing it. Tonight was not different from the other moon night. The moon shined brightly as it's large size emerged.the leaders of the pack stood in front in a line the alpha,luna,beta,betafemale and the gamma all stood with pride their wolf chest had been puffed out along with the pack member.

As the rays of the moon touched the furs and skin of all the werekinds they felt the power of the moon goddess blessing upon them.

Not before long a howl in union sounded across the lands of all packs and woods. This howl represented gratitude to the moon goddess.
