Arielle POV

After what seemed to be forever I started to regain control over my limbs and I could wiggle my fingers on both hands. I knew that I had been shot, twice by a man that supposedly worked for my father, then he kidnapped me. I did not open my eyes right away, I could smell a really foul smell coming from all around me also I could hear the ever so often droplets of water hitting concrete. When I finally had enough courage to open my eyes I was greeted with complete darkness. I started freaking out at not being able to see anything and I tried to pull my hands that were above my head to my body but all I got in return was the sound of clanking chains and soft pains coming from both of my wrists.

I let a sigh pass my lips as I tried to slow my racing heart, I stood up on my bare tip toes feeling the cold concrete floor on the bottom of my feet. I knew that I was still in the dress I wore to Zander's because I could feel the fabric of the dress on my skin, everywhere except on my sides where I had been shot I could feel the cold concrete wall on my bare skin making goose bumps pass over my skin. I had no mobility of my body seeing as I was chained to the wall so the only thing I could do was wait which I did not have to do much of because the door, that was on the other side of the room opened letting light flood into the room illuminating it letting me see the room for the first time since I woke up.

I scrunched my eyes at the invading light as I let my eyes roam the concrete room. On the walls there were all different types of chains, dry blood and when I looked at the other side of the room I saw a man, he was chain up to the wall much like myself, the only difference? He was dead. His face was colored with different shades, his face was covered in blood and when I looked farther down I saw that one of his hands were missing. It took everything in me not to puke, this was the first dead body I have ever seen. I was looking at the body so long that I forgot about the person who had walked in until they switch on the light that was hanging in the middle of the room.

I looked towards the man who had a beard and tousled hair who was smirking at me as he stood in front of a table with many different types of weapons, some that I have never even seen before placed on it. When we made eye contact he started walking towards me, making me feel even more uncomfortable than I was.

"Look at this, Sleeping Beauty has awoke from her four day slumber, You know for a moment I thought you were dead. I mean you lost a lot of blood I told Finn to only shoot you once. That boy, not much for rules he is. How are you darling, have you missed me?"

When the man in front of me said this I looked at him like he was crazy, which I think he was because the way that he was looking at me with a whole 'Mad hatter' vibe. I thought that he looked slightly familiar but I could not put my finger on it. He looked at me with a crazed smile before letting out a wicked laugh while looking at me.

"Oh come on Arielle! You have to be kidding me, it's only been what three years? You can't tell me you forgot your old man's face already?"

I felt my breath get caught in my throat, making him laugh even more than he already was. I did not change my facial expression, I was now the Luna of the Blood-Moon pack I needed to be strong for my people. I am no longer the scared six year old that hid in her closet to try and get away from her drunken abusive father.

"Look at how weak you are. How can someone like you, be a Luna of one the most feared pack out there? What are you-"

I could not hold in my anger at this man any longer, having it bottled up all my life finally made me snap at him, I could feel as I spoke spit was covering his face

"You want to know what I am?-"

I moved my eyes so I was looking into his eyes this time before I spat fully into his face watching it roll down his face as I spoke with venom in my voice

"I'm a survivor."

At this he let a cheshire smile come onto his face as he rose his hand and wiped the saliva that was on his face and begun laughing in my face as he swayed on his feet while pointing his finger at me in a teasing manner

"Man I must say these three years away from me have really changed you Arielle. You know these past four days you have been sleeping on this wall that mate of your. . . Alpha Black he has been busy. He has tore this small town apart looking for you and killing any rogues that got in his way, which happen to be over about thirty. That is just unacceptable, he can not just kill my men without being punished and seeing as he is not here and you are. . . well we'll just have to use you in his place. I really hate that your stitches that our good doc took his time to stitch up will break open but. . . I have a very angry man that just so happens to have lost his mate to your blasted Alpha's tantrum."

He gave me a malevolent smile as he slowly walked backwards towards the door while looking me in the eyes as he shut his shoulders. I tried to pull my hands from the chains around my wrist only chafing my bruised wrist even more than they were while baring my teeth at him as he closed the door. I stopped the jangling of the chains after the closed door opened again and when I looked up instead of seeing my father like I thought I would I saw two men walk into the room. One of the guys looked like he had been crying non-stop by the red rimming of his eyes and his bloodshot eyes while the other guy looked like he did not want to be here. When the second guy who had black hair and tattoos peeking from his shirt looked me in the eye, something sparked in me. I do not know how to explain it but I felt connected to him. . . I felt safe by him. Which was weird seeing the situation I was currently in.

"You know one of those rogues that your useless Alpha of a mate killed just so happens to have been my mate. My beautifully wonderful mate Kari, I will never get to see her beautiful smile again and that is your mate's fault!"

I could feel remorse for the man in front of me because I do not know what I would do if Zander were to die, but that remorse that I was feeling washed away because he turned to the table that held a bunch of different weapons and reached and grabbed a whip that had little metal pieces at the end of each leather strip. I looked at him as he looked from the guy with the black hair that looked like he was about to have a heart attack then to me before he raised the whip above his head and swung it onto my body

CRACK

I felt my body sway as I hit the cold wall behind me letting a hiss fall from my lips. I leaned my head back against the wall, I have never been whipped before. . . The feeling was horrible. It did not take long before I felt the second and third hit onto my body

CRACK

CRACK

I could feel after every hit my body start to tingle in pain and on the third hit I could not hold the cry of pain in because he hit my side right on one of my bullet wounds. I could already feel my skin bubble up in welts and bruises after each hit. I did not even know how many hits later I felt my stitches on both sides snap open and blood begin to roll down my sides and down my thighs. I knew that each hit was starting to get harder than the one before but I could no longer feel the hits because my body was now numb. I stopped crying out in pain from the hits awhile ago, because I could not feel the pain to cry out for, when my vision started going in and out I finally heard the guy with the tattoos speak up.

"Elijah I think you need to stop this, do you not think this is enough? She is but a human Elijah! You are going to kill her if you don't stop!"

The man who was repeatedly hitting me 'Elijah' stopped hitting me as he looked at his friend who told him to stop hitting me. I could feel as the blood was falling from my gunshot wounds and open wounds from the whip as I tried to watch the two men in front of me.

"No Zeke I do not think this is enough, she will die a pathetic human. Andrew already gave me the okay to kill her."

I did not hear what 'Zeke' told him in return because my consciousness decided to play around with me again. But the next thing I know was when Elijah rose his hand that was holding the bloody whip to hit me again Zeke grabbed a large knife from the table and he pushed it into Elijah's neck. My eyes were now large watching Elijah choke on his own blood as he looked at his friend and then I heard Zeke whisper 'I won't let you hurt her anymore' When he laid the bloody knife back onto the table I watched as he looked at the man's body that was chained to the wall opposite of me shaking his head before turning to me walking closer to me, looking over my face

"Why do I feel so protective over you? Why am I connected to you human?"

The only thing I could do was slightly shrug my shoulder before my head lulled where my chin was resting on my chest. I heard shuffling and a scrape of a chair before I felt cold hands on my skin. I looked with my hooded eyes at Zeke to see that he was going to stitch me back up. He looked at me to make sure I was ready which I nodded my head at. I started to regain my feeling half way through the stitching of my second bullet hole making me hiss a small bit, not from the stitches but from the welps and small cuts around it. When he was finished with both stitches he put some type of ointment onto it before looking up at me,

"So Luna Black tell me, what is it like being with a pack? I was never in a pack I was born into the rogue life."

"I think it is awesome it makes me feel like I have a family again. I might have just came into the pack but everyone is so loving already it's amazing. Before I found them I was just running away from Andrew, my father. . . that man that was in here before you guys. I had even started taking classes to defend myself afraid he would find me but I never really made friends until I came here, I mean people in school tried to become friends with me but I never let them in until coming here. These people felt different and they were. May I ask you something though?"

He looked at me in the eyes before he stood up and moved to get my hands out of the chains that were making me hang against the wall. I looked at the bloody and bruised wrist as he moved me to where I was sitting at one of the chairs at the table in the middle of the room. I started rubbing my wrist slightly as I looked down at my body to see cuts and bruises laying everywhere. I tried to stand up from the chair I was in but was falling to the floor before I could take a step forward but thankfully Zeke caught me placing me back in the chair as I looked at the body still hanging from the wall, making me want to gag. I saw that Zeke sighed as he looked at the body before turning to me

"You might want to take it slow right now, rest for a few minutes Arielle, You have been hanging from that wall for four days and just received a really bad beating and not to mention you were shot twice. The man on the wall was someone who came in before you Andrew did that, I do not know who it is but I heard him scream all day yesterday. Now ask me what you want to ask me."

"Why did you kill your friend to help me?"

I watched Zeke as he looked at the man on the floor who was still bleeding from his neck before he looked at me in the eyes. I lightly coughed from pain in my chest as he started talking,

"I felt connected to you, I needed to protect you, something in my head could no longer watch him hurt you, I wanted to kill him right when we made eye contact. . . Elijah was far from a friend, I just tolerated him. Do you think you're ready to move along now?"

I was slightly in shock that he felt the same thing as me as I slightly nodded my head standing up from the chair I was in following him, ignoring the pain with each step to the door. We stopped in front of the door as he looked at me from the corner of his eye

"I hope you learned a lot of things in those classes of yours, get ready to fight"

That being said he opened the door and walked out of it with me hot on his trails. When we were fully into the hallway and we were making our way down the empty hallway you could hear my bare feet slapping against the tile floor. I could slightly feel the pain leave me as my heart began to beat faster when we heard a male voice yell from behind us as we were about to turn onto a new hallway

"Hey! What is the prisoner doing out of her cell?"

I looked behind us to see that there were two middle age men running to where Zeke and I stood. When they were halfway to us I whispered to Zeke 'you get the left I got the right' He nodded at me as the men made it to us and he punched the one on the left in the face. I punched the man on the right in the face making him stager a little before he tried to punch me, which I blocked punching him again making him stagger a bit backwards and then I did a ninja type move where I ran up to him jumping up wrapping my legs around his neck twisting him around and slamming him to the floor. When he landed on his back I gave him a sarcastic smile as I punched him in the face knocking him out cold. I knew that I was going to regret all of this when the adrenaline wears off because the pain is going to be 2x what it was but I did not care if it meant I get to go home.

I turned my head to where I was facing Zeke who was standing over an unconscious guy looking at me with a smile on his face along with wide eyes as he looked from me to the guy on the floor.

"You are pretty dope you know that Luna Black?"

I felt myself smile a little before we both turned and ran down the other hallway that held a exit, but before we could make it to the EXIT sign we were stopped by my father stepping in front of us making the both of us stop, I could hear as Zeke let out a small growl at the man in front of me. I could feel the anger in me rising as he looked at me with a crazed look in his eyes, the same on I saw in the room.

"You two going somewhere?"

I felt as Zeke walked up behind me, as another growl left his mouth at the crazed man in front of us, I placed my hand on his chest as I looked at my father in the eyes

"Yes we are, we are going home and you are not going to stop me I am no longer scared of you father."

When he was about to say something to me I punched him in the face while grabbing his gun from his waistband and kicked him to where he was laying on his back on the floor looking up at me. Looking at the man that I once loved with all of my heart on the floor with a gun pointed to his head made my eyes fill with tears, I don't know if they were sad or happy tears though.

"You are not going to kill your own father Arielle. You are too weak so why not just put down my gun."

I looked at him in the eyes while my hands were shaking and tears were falling freely from my face, I knew that Zeke was looking at me as I was looking at my father

"Why couldn't you just love me? I lost her to! She was MY Mother, I loved you and all you did was drink and beat me! I'm a survivor because of you Andrew, tell mom I said hi, would you?"

I saw the look between fear, surprise, and sadness cross over his face before I closed my eyes and squeezed the trigger.

BANG

I dropped the gun from my hands as the ringing in my ears started, I looked at Zeke to see that he was looking at me with a look of sadness in his eyes along with pity. I nodded my head to him before turning to where the exit was at the end of the hall and started my way to it, my ears still ringing slightly

"Okay let's go Zeke, I really want to return to my people already"

He nodded his head as we both ran to the end of the hall to the exit. When we made it to the door we both smiled at each other as I pushed it open and stepped out of the door but was tackled to the ground by Zeke ad an arrow that came from the trees flew over my head and hit the building behind where I was just standing. Then I heard a gunshot that made my ears ring again and I saw Zeke holding the gun that I dropped earlier in his hand pointing at the trees. I looked at him in thanks as I saw a man fall from the trees and he pulled keys from his pocket and we ran to the nearest car and got into it. He placed the key into the keyhole and started the engine and begun driving towards my pack territory.

-ONE HOUR LATER-

When we finally entered into my territory I could feel the pain from my wounds that was pushed away by the adrenaline from fighting return to my body and mostly everything on my body hurt. I also felt like I knew Zeke more on a personal level, on the way here he told me all about his little 'pack' and about his mother who had been murdered and about how his father went crazy and ended up dying by a pack's hand. He told me what it was like for him being born a rogue. I even ended up telling him about my past, more than I have told anyone. I mean I did kill my own father in front of him, I thought that he deserved a reason behind it. I turned my head and looked out my car window to see a few wolves following the car in the brush of the woods keeping up with the car I was in.

"They can smell me with you. When we get to your pack house I will most likely die by their hands because I am a rogue, and I was apart of the rogues who took you and did this to you."

I felt my heart drop to my stomach at this, he was now my friend he saved me from death, he helped me escape. I felt connected to him and he felt it to. No I will not let that happen, not ever.

"Zeke I will protect you from them. I am Luna they can not kill you if I tell them not to. I will tell Zander to let you into the pack, you will join my pack. I won't let anything happen to you trust me."

When I finished talking we had already turned on the road that the pack house was located on. I looked at Zeke as he smiled a small smile at what I told him

"You mean what you are telling me Arielle? You will let me join your pack?"

All I did in return was nod my head at him as we pulled into the pack house drive way to be greeted by some of the pack members. I could not continue looking at them as I heard Zeke say something that made me even more happy than I already was.

"MATE"

When I looked at him I followed his eyeline to see that he was staring at Cara just as she was staring at him, in a loving manner. I smiled at my two friends but before I could say anything to him my door on the car was jerked open and I was literally pulled from my seat into someone's arms. I knew that it was Zander who pulled me by his smell and the sparks that traveled up my arms, it was amazing to be in his arms again.

"I missed you so much, I thought I lost you."

He squeezed my petite body harder to his earning a yelp from me as the pain from my injuries and my twisted legs that were still in the car flared up. At the sound of a pain filled yell leaving my mouth Zander pulled away from me and looked my body over. When his eyes landed on my wrists and thighs and my viewable stomach that had dry blood on it and stitched up wounds I heard him let out a throaty growl and I saw his eyes flicker black but before he could say anything I heard a girl scream from behind me. I looked behind me to see that Cara was being held back by two pack warriors crying and two more pack warriors were behind a now kneeling Zeke while holding a dagger to his neck. Before Zander could stop me I got out of the car fully and ran to where they were and yelled at the warriors that were about to slaughter Zeke in front of his mate

"No Stop!"

When the two pack warriors heard my yelling their heads snapped up to look at me while taking a step away from Zeke who was still kneeling in front of me while looking at me in hope.

"Luna Black he is a rogue. He is one who worked for the guys who shot and took you."

I glared at him before I walked to where he was standing and taking the dagger from his hands before moving to where I stood in front of Zeke. I did not know what I was doing, it was like my mind had control over my body and it knew what it was doing, all I knew was what I was about to do was right.

"No Arielle please he is my mate, please do not take him from me!"

I did not pay any attention to what Cara was saying as I looked at Zeke who was looking at me with tears in his eyes, with a look of betrayal. I looked up to the full moon in the sky as I felt everyone's gaze on me. I pulled the dagger up onto my palm and sliced a deep cut into the palm letting it fill with blood

"Θεά του φεγγαριού αφήσουμε αυτή γενναίος άνθρωπος για να γίνει φύλακας μου"

When I was finished speaking a language I did not even know I spoke I placed my pointer finger in the pool of blood in my palm before bringing it to Zeke's forehead and drew a perfect circle, like a full moon. When I was done I looked at the moon as I felt something truly amazing come over me and fill my body. When I looked at myself and at Zeke I saw we were glowing a white silver around our body. I knew that Zeke felt the same blissful feeling I did by the look on his face. When the glowing around our bodies stopped I looked at Zeke who was now on one knee bowing at me.

"Εμείς θα σας εξυπηρετήσει για όλη την αιωνιότητα"

When everything was over I kind of snapped out of it as I slightly shook my head from side to side then I looked around at everyone to see that they were watching us with large eyes and slightly open mouths.

"what just happened?"

At the sound of Zeke's voice I turned and looked at him to see that he was still kneeling before me while he was looking around at everyone like I had been.

"I do not know but it felt amazing."

"What?"

He was looking at me strangely as I looked at him in the same manner, now it was my turn to look at him weirdly as I looked at everyone else before turning back to him.

"You just asked what just happen, so I answered you."

At this he stood up, looked at someone behind me which was most likely Zander before he looked back at me. What he said next made me faint. . . literally.

"Arielle I did not say that, I thought that"
