Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 36

*xkkxErika's POV*¥kkx

Cindy ran through the forest as though she was in pursuit of someone, Paula's wolf was right beside her. It was

big too but not as big as mine. The lake was close, we just needed to get through the forest and reach the almost

end of it. People rarely chere which was why Kat loved it. She used to say it was as though the Moon

Goddess had reserved the spot for her.

Dear Moon Goddess, please let my best friend be alright. | would kill Jace if anything happened to Kat, he caused

all of this. As we got closer, we heard more growls and then a whimper. Again, Paula's wolf and my wolf

exchanged looks and increased their pace. | was seeing the lake, but | was yet to see Kat or her wolf.

By the twe reached the lake, it was silent. From my instincts, | knew something was wrong. It was as though

someone or something was lurking, laying in wait. Where the hell was Kat? Paula's wolf took off in the other

direction, | took off in the other. Cindy understood what Paula's wolf was trying to do - divide and conquer. Soon, |

heard more growls from the path Paula had taken. | rushed back there and saw Paula's wolf fighting with about

five wolves. In the midst was another wolf on the ground, whimpering and had blood oozing from its rib side and

one of its forelimbs. Dylia. Kat's wolf. That was her.

Oh Mother of the Moon. I rushed forward in anger and went to fight beside Paula. As an Alpha wolf, Cindy had the

upper hand. She sunk her teeth into one of the wolves and quickly followed with her claws tearing down the

enemy wolf's back, it was a deep cut that erupted a growl from this wolf. Cindy dug into her teeth into this wolf's

neck and tore out his vein, it fell flat dead instantly.

| was as pumped and revved as she. Cindy was ruthless than | was. This was the reason | hated fighting was not

because | would be beaten, no. But because my wolf loved exercising her strength and would never hesitate to

use on anyone who wanted to trespass or had already dared trespasses.

The next wolf that crossed path with Cindy was unlucky, it laid dead within fifteen seconds, blood gushing out of

its neck. Paula's wolf howled in pain, I turned to see that she had been injured on her back. Cindy went after the

Wolf responsible and dug her claws into one of its eyes, she scratched and pulled until the eye popped out. She

also lifted her mid-air and used her sharp claws to tear its belly. The wolf fell, not truly dead but at the point of it.

The remaining two wolves ran but | saw that one of them limped, Paula's wolf must have done that. Cindy

transmuted to me, swith Paula and her wolf. We both sat on there floor naked, Kat had transformed too. She

was too weak to talk.

"We need to take her back to the mansion." Paula said, her back had many scratches but none too deep to cause

any harm, thank the Moon Goddess.

"The mansion or the hospital?" | was a bit breathless from all that fight.

Paula looked at me. "Rika, in case you have not noticed, those wolves were not random wolves who just

happened to stumble upon Kat and begin a fight. They knew her or you. Maybe they even cfor you through

her, you're about to take over and all this starts happening. See your father, Rika. He was poisoned. How come

in a room full of other werewolves, he was the only poisoned one and with a very rare plant. Whoever uses

Demon orchid is deliberate about their intention." She explained.

She was right. Whoever that had attacked Kat had done it because they knewand as Paula had said,

probably wanted me. "Five against one." | pointed out the number of werewolves that had attacked her.

"Someone knows that's her favorite spot and also know you spend twith her there. They might have come

bearing in mind they would meet you, hence, the numbers."

The raspy breathing of Kat was a cause for great concern. Paula and | looked extremely worried. All three of us

were naked? How were we going to get her to the mansion without people looking at us? But Paula stood and

lifted Kat onto her back.

"I know we're naked, Rika but we can not let Kat die. Let's just find a way to go through the back of the

mansion."

"The back is not really void of people but you're right, | don't care anymore. Let's go." We began running out of

there, sprinting through the trees. Trying to hide our nakedness as much as we could and Kat's too.

| saw Pa

trying to hide the pain she was feeling. | realized her back was hu and she was carrying Kat on there. | paused.

"Hey, it's my turn."

"Alright." She lifted Kat onto my back. | could not believe this was Kat. She could not make a sound. Barely

anyone. "Do you think she's alive? She's not talking."

"Yes. Think positive, Rika." | nodded.

About to cout into the opening that led to the mansion, we saw Jace running

towards us with sclothes in his possession. "What happened?"

I ignored him and snatched a shirt out of his hand, carefully laying Kat on the floor, | put on the shirt, it was his.

"Mother of the Moon! What happened to Kat?" | heard the tremble and regret in his voice but | said nothing it

him. This was all his fault.

Paula also took the second shirt and wore. It was his too. It was big on us but it would do. Before we could get to

it, he was already wearing Kat the shirt and lifted her into his arms, he blinked surreptitiously, he was trying to

fight off tears. sW

He was run'Ing in the direction of the hospital.

"The mansion." Paula told him.

He did not ask why and carried her to the mansion.

"Let's go call the doctor." Paula made a beeline for the hospital, | followed, eyes

were on us. Kat's blood were printed on us.

Luckily, we saw him as he was

.n

stepping out of the medical building. He was quite stunned when he saw us and our blood-stained appearance. |

knew my hair was scatter over the place, Paula's too but that was the least of our problems.

"Your Highnesses." He greeted us both.

"I need you." | uttered.

"Our friend is unconscious and isn't breathing well." Paula informed breathless.

"She's at the mansion, that's where you'll treat her."

The man turned tofor confirmation. | nodded.

"Alright let's go."
