The Rogue Luna

Chapter 22

Well my little readers, so this is really important. So I was reading over The Rouge Luna and I have something to say. I am horrible with names. If you noticed, Willow's mom and the witch have the same name, that was a mistake. And Riley's dad and Nick's wolf share the same name as well. These were all mistakes, so I hope you forgive me :( and feel free to beat me up for being so late XD after all, some of my other readers all ready did.

Willow's POV

Riley had taken me to the pack house after his battle with Nick. So now we sat on the couch waiting for all of the pack to gather around. And I knew when they did, I'd have to tell them who Nick was.

How was I supposed to tell them? Do I just up and tell them "oh, hey, those rouges who attacked us and almost killed some of you, yeah, they're the ones who killed my pack and their leader is the one who betrayed me. Who wants some cake?"

No, if I did that, everyone would probably hate me. They'd probably even throw me to the rouges as some sacrifice.

Riley nudged me. "Willow, everyone's here."

"What?" I gasped, standing up as Riley followed my lead.

I glanced around the hundreds of wolves, watching me expectantly. Alissa was standing in the front with Kyle who was holding her by the waist with a bandage wrapped around his arm. And next to them was Renee who was holding hands with Jason.

My breath caught in my throat. Jason had a bandage going across his left eye. I had been the reason he was injured. I was the one to blame.

Riley's parents were standing behind us as well as the pack witch. But someone was missing.

Heaven.

I looked at Riley. "Where's Heaven?"

He stiffened at them mention of her name, but he didn't reply. Did something happen?

"Okay guys," Riley called, using his alpha voice. "You guys are probably wondering what happened today."

"Hell right!"

I sighed as Riley continued.

"We've been expecting that for a long time. We just didn't know when they were going to attack."

"So what now?" Kyle asked.

Riley stood tall and proud. "We double the border patrol. I want to know when they'll attack again, and I want us to be ready this time."

Murmurs and agreements went around the crowd. This was my chance to tell them.

"I'd also like to add something." I said, surprising myself that my voice didn't quiver.

All eyes snapped to me, and I had to fight the urge to cower in a corner.

"Th-those rouges, they're the ones who attacked and killed my pack."

They broke out into whispers before I could finish.

"And, they're leader is named Nick. he's the one who led them."

"So," one girl started. "What are we suppose to do with that information?"

"Uhh, I don't-"

"It means that the pack of rouges are quite powerful and can get through our defenses." Riley said, helping me out.

Everyone nodded and stood there expectantly, waiting for Riley to continue.

"That's all," he conjoined.

They nodded once more and started to head out. That was until Riley's mother spoke up.

"Also, surrounding packs are going to visit us next week to discuss these matters. So to honor them, we will be throwing a ball. That is it, you may go."

Everyone nodded, again, and finally left, leaving Riley and I with his parents.

"Mom, really? A ball in the middle of this crisis? That's a horrible idea!"

Riley's father spoke. "This is necessary Riley, we have to do this."

"Plus, it'll be fun." His mother giggled.

A smile broke onto my lips as Riley sighed.

"Fine. But what now? We start preparing for the party?"

His mother shrugged. "Whatever you want son, you're the alpha now. But right now me and you're father have to check up on Heaven and make sure she's healing properly."

I cocked my eyebrow. "What happened to her?"

Riley gasped. "Mom, don't-"

Riley's mother took a deep breath as her smile turned to a frown.

"She was injured in the fight. She's lucky to have survived."

My heart stopped as tears pricked my eyes. Riley lied to me. He told me she was okay. He told me that she was fine. He lied.

Riley ushered his parents out of the pack house and quickly turned to me, a saddened look on his face.

"Willow-"

"Why did you lie to me?!?" I screamed as the tears spilled over. "You told me she was fine!"

He raised his hands to cup my face, but I backed up.

"You don't understand." He sighed.

"Then enlighten me," I snapped.

I've never acted like this is my entire life. It frightened me. But I was so angry at Riley.

"I did it to protect you."

"Protect me? How would-"

I stopped when something snapped into place.

"She was that little white wolf."

He nodded.

"But you said-"

"I said it because I knew you would blame yourself."

"Because it is my fault Riley! All of this is my fault!"

He stepped closer to me but I shook. He immediately stopped.

"You should've told me."

"I know, but-"

I walked past him and went to the door, wrapping my fingers around the knob.

"I should've known."

I flung the door open and ran out as the tears stopped flowing. I had no idea where I was going, but I just had to clear my head, get some air.

But I shouldn't be able to forget this. After all...

It's my fault.

I know you guys, my little readers, are going to hate me. After all, this chapter is late, short, and horrible. So don't vote, y'all guys don't have that is. But it is okay to follow *wink wink* well, that's it. TATA my little readers.
