24

I sat quietly in the room while Hades went to greet Elvira. My wolf and I were on edge, listening in case she decided to attack him. I know he's an Alpha male and should be able to handle himself, but I still need to protect him. As Alpha female, it's my job to protect my mate and help guide the pack. Yet, I can't do that when he's all alone and I'm up here.

I was beyond worried that she would do something. The message we left for her wasn't pretty and it included her daughter. I closed my eyes and shook my head, I still remember what we did. But for some odd reason Jade had agreed to it. Saying she'll be free to make her own choices.

I don't know what she meant, but Hades said something about Jade's wolf being feral.

There's two type of feral werewolves in the supernatural world. The first is the human side lost their mate or pack and no longer wanted to feel any emotion. They no longer wanted to be a human. So, they give into their wolf side and become full wolf. No human instinct, no emotions, nothing. They just rely on pure instinct.

The second is the wolf side is stronger than the human side. Usually, we're in a complete balance. But the wolf side refuses to be equal or accept the human side, so they take advantage. They're very strong, but also sadistic. The only thing they love is to kill, eat, sleep, and have sex all the time.

If Jade's mother knew of her daughter having a feral wolf side she could easily take control of her daughter. It's weird, it's like having some sort of identity disorder except for werewolves. It's not exactly that, but they have two complete different personalities. The human personality that is rarely seen and then the wolf's. Sadistic, evil, and feral.

I shook my head, I've been trying to figure out more about the ones like Jade. I'm naturally curious like that.

I was brought out of my train of thoughts when I heard someone chuckle. I looked up to see two men smirking at me.

When I caught of a whiff of their scent I growled.

"Awe, is the little Luna getting scared?" The man teased.

Scared? What the hell is he thinking?

"Oh, I'll show him what it's like to be truly scared." My wolf sneered.

I swallowed, "Not yet." I told her.

The men slowly walked forward with a glint in their eyes. My wolf was begging to be free, but I held her back. I can't shift yet, not until they're tired enough. After all, I can't let my wolf have all the fun.

They lunged at me at the same time, but of course I already expected that. I easily dodged them and grabbed the one by the leg.

With ease, I swung him into the second man. They both slammed into the wall, causing a huge crack. I then grabbed the one on top and threw him even further away. I grinned as he hit the railing and crashed through them. I didn't bother to see how hard he landed on the ground downstairs, I was too busy with the other guy.

He tried grabbing me, but I dodged him again. I then swiped my leg under him and caused him to fall.

He groaned in pain as his face slammed into the marble flooring. When he looked up his nose was crooked and his face was covered in blood. I glanced at the floor, frowning at the crack in the marble.

Didn't think I slammed him down that hard. I heard his growl as he lunged at me, this time clawing my cheek.

I yelped, but continued to strike at him. I shifted last minute, and using all of my weight, slammed him into the wall. I could hear the crack of his ribs as my wolf and I continued to press against him.

He let out a scream before falling to the ground, shaking pathetically.

I turned around and ran towards the stairs. I looked down to see the second man still laying on the ground, his neck bent in an awkward away.

I swallowed the bile that rose in my throat and backed away. I killed someone. I killed him.

I was completely stunned and didn't see the man behind me. I howled in pain as a sharp pain flowed through my back leg. I spun around quickly, causing the knife to cut through my leg until it was out.

The man grinned with his crooked nose and broken ribs. The bloody knife was still in his hands as a look of triumph showed on his features. I shifted back, ignoring the pain. Without any hesitation I grabbed him by the throat and flipped him over the broken railing. With a thump he hit the ground, crying out in agony.

I winced and fell to the ground as my leg gave out. I glanced at my thigh and clenched my jaw.

It looked like someone tried to cut my leg off through my thigh. My heart was pounding as I cried out. I allowed my pain through the mate-bond so I could alert Hades. However, he was already running up the stairs.

A loud growl erupted from him as he turned around.

"Jackson, get every warrior and grab Elvira before she escapes." He ordered.

Jackson nodded and ran out of the pack house. Hades gently picked me up, apologizing as I whimpered.

He kept kissing my forehead, stroking my cheek that wasn't clawed, and whispering soothing words.

My vision became blurry from the hot tears as they pooled into my eyes. The adrenaline started to slowly leave my body, allowing the pain to become stronger and stronger.

By the time we reached the infirmary I was going into shock.

The pack doctor wasted no time in finding me a bed. I looked over as nurses had to shove Hades out.

"I love you, Celina." Hades' voice echoed in my head as I drowned in the darkness.

I woke up to see Hades sitting beside my bed, sound asleep. I frowned at the sight of him, he was curled up in the chair. He's 6'6" and he's curled up in a chair that I couldn't even fit in.

"Hades." I whispered.

Nothing.

"Hades!" I said louder.

Still nothing.

I rolled my eyes and growled in frustration before grabbing one of my pillows and throwing one at him.

His eyes shot open and he fell from the chair. I laughed until he got up and scowled at me.

"Not funny." He grumbled.

I wiped away my tears as I continued to laugh. "Yes...it...was!" I cracked up.

He raised an eyebrow before his eyes widened.

"You're awake!"

"Good job, captain slow thinker." My wolf mumbled.

"That's not even a name." I replied to her.

"Well, it is now."

I chuckled at my wolf before Hades kissed me. He then looked at me, "Are you okay? How are you feeling?" He questioned.

I smiled tiredly, "I'm fine, just groggy."

"Well, that's good. The doctor said your leg will be healed in two weeks. You're going to have to stay off of it though." He explained.

I nodded, "Okay."

We stayed in an awkward silence until Hades sat back down. He seemed exhausted, even more tired than me. I have him a concerned look, but he only shrugged.

I slowly and carefully scooted over before parting the bed.

"You're not sleeping in that chair." I voiced.

He raised an eyebrow, "And why is that?"

"It's uncomfortable, I have to take care of you too, you know?"

He smiled before crawling into the bed and laying beside me. He wrapped his arms around me and relaxed, sighing in relief.

He kissed my head, "Jackson and the pack couldn't find Elvira. It's like she disappeared." He whispered.

I nodded, "Well, she is a witch. They can teleport."

"True."

Hades ended up falling asleep before me, cuddled against my side. I kissed his head and rested my head on his. I gently stroked his hair, enjoying the comfort.

My thoughts drifted to my family, wondering if my father was even awake. I hope he isn't though, because then I'm going to have to talk to him. And that's something I don't want to do, even if it does sound horrible. I don't think I have it in me to ever forgive him.

The next morning Hades and I slept in, ignoring the nurses and doctors. When we woke up Hades rushed to the bathroom, cussing out his bladder.

I laughed, only Hades. Once he was done he laid beside me again and kept nibbling on my ear.

"Hades?" I questioned.

"Yes?" He mumbled.

"Are you hungry by any chance? Because I swear you're eating my ear."

"Ew! That would be gross!" He frowned, looking up. "And actually, I'm not hungry. Are you?"

I quickly shook my head, if I ate something right now there's a high chance it's going to end up on Hades. In vomit form.

"Okay, so, to get around you can use a wheel-

"I can carry her." Hades chirped.

The doctor glanced at him, "Alpha, shut up."

Hades glowered at him before folding his arms across his chest and looking away. I chuckled at his behavior before listening to the doctor again.

It took them an hour to get me a wheelchair because Hades tried telling them he can carry me. I was relieved when I could finally get in the chair, but I was angry when I heard what the doctor said.

Hades seemed hurt, but he didn't say another word. He went completely silent as the doctor smirked at him.

"So easy to shut you up." He commented.

I narrowed my eyes, "And it'll be so easy for me to rip your throat out right now." I snapped.

He looked up at me in shock.

"Luna, I-

"Don't you ever bring up his parents or issues again. Or I swear, I'll be your worst nightmare. Got it?"

"Yes, Luna." He whispered.

I nodded, "Thank you for the treatment, doctor." I said coldly before motioning for Hades to wheel me out.
