Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 38

*xkkxErika's POV*¥kkx

"Why?" | looked at her, even Jace turned to her. Only the doctor and his two nurses did not pay mind to our

discussion.

Her eyes were not laughing and her lips were pressed tight in a mean line. Whenever Paula did that, she was

thoroughly displeased. "Yes. Without the 'why', then what are you fighting?"

"How then do | know the why. | have to start the fight first. Knowing the why would certainly need sfight.

But before | think of anything, | just want to make sure Kat survives this." | turned my attention back to the bed

where she was receiving treatment.

"Can't we take her to my room?" | did not want to be around Jace. | needed Kat in my room, that was possibly the

only way | could get to see her and be with her.

"No, Your Highness." Was the doctor's reply. His attention was still fixed on taking care of Kat's wound. She

looked so vulnerable lying there, it almost made tears stream down again, but I blinked them back.

Her thick red curtain was splayed all over the wide bed. It looked as though the bed was swallowing her whole

frame.

"Why?" | was sounding quote unreasonable in that instant but | did not care. If Kat could be transferred to my

room, I'd like it.

"Kat, what's wrong her being here?" Paula asked.

| sighed. "Nothing."

"Just allow her heal first, Erika." Jace put in.

| whipped my head to his direction, where he stood with his back to the wall, and glared.

"Don't you dare talk to me." | warned.

| saw the doctor and his two medical workers glanced at us then averted their gaze.

"Look, | know you're angry but can you just calm down for the tbeing?"

| gave him the meanest once-over | could muster, wishing I could bash his head against the wall. His shirt was

stained with blood. Kat's blood and that was enough to remindthat he caused of all this.

"Don't tellwhat to do! You have no right to do that, Jace." | admonished angrily, stepping forward. Paula was

pullingback.

"I'm not..."

But | did not let him finish. "The fact that you brought clothes does not cover up

nor make up for what just happened which is your fault."

"How is it my fault?" He stepped forward too challengingly.

| snatched my hand from Paula's hold and stood before his face. "Ask that

question again, and I'll reply you." Anger boiled my insides. My hands stained with Kat's blood were fisted by my

side

"How is it..." A quick, hard jab at his face had him groaning and holding his nose. Nothing was broken but the

area grew red immediately.

His wolf's eyes flashed angrily.

| scoffed. "You think I'm scared? Let your wolf out, Jace. Fucking let him out and see what happens!" At the last

statement, my voice had deepened to a growl, Cindy was ready to take over.

| was not my usual self right now but again, | did not care. | did not care what happened, but | was in a mood.

Paula cane to pullaway. The doctor and nurses stood to watch warily. From the corner of my eye, | saw one of

the nurses looked atin fear and shifted away from me.

"Stop this, Erika." Paula's voice lost its soft comforting tone, it was now harsh and disappointed. "The doctor is

working on Kat. To make sure she feels better, don't keep doing this. | know you're angry and overwhelmed with

every event that has been unfolding but calm down? What do you think you dad would say about your behavior

if he was..."

"Don't talk about my dad!" | used that sgrowling tone at her.

She looked taken aback, and released her hold on me. Realizing the way I'd talked to her, | ran out of the room,

bounded down the stairs, sprinted through the hallways and out the back door of the mansion. | did not stop

until I was at the stream close to the mansion.

Jace and | frequented here a lot as

BLISH

kids, we began to see it as our spot. Jace called it the family's spot. We used to drag dad to cwith

sometimes where he would watch Jace and | play pretend. While Jace would act as the Alpha, | would

pretend to be his Luna of sometimes his personal servant. Jace would try to mimic dad and | would mimic dad's

personal maid - Yolanda. He would roar in laughter, finding our unscripted very funny.

It was fun. Katjoined In on sday and when she did, she took the part of his Luna who maltreated me, the

personal servant. Memories were made here. Two of the most important people toin this world were in

danger, their lives hanging on the balance of hope. Kat had almost died in the forest, my dad was lying almost

lifeless in his room.

Everything was coming atso sudden that | was staggering under the weight of

it all. Jace wanted to leave, but | was keeping him back. Despite being angry at him, | did not want him to go. |

would feel miserable and lonely. The only family that was able to talk and laugh was planning on leaving.

Tears ran down my eyes. And within seconds, | was sobbing. Though the lake was quite lonely, people could still

see but it would be a far view for them and no one chere if me, my brother or my dad was here. So, for the

tbeing, | was going to be alone. It was better for me. | needed to think. To plan. | had a lot of work ahead of

me.

"Hello, Your Highness."

| turned. Tasyra Grigshade. What was she doing here? And how had she known | was here?
