Gabriella’s POV
“Sorry to ask, but your name doesn’t ring a bell to me at all. Did I become friends with you as well?”
“Well, no, my Luna. A beta like me can’t become friends with his superior, but one thing is for sure, you were really nice to us,” he replied, but his eyes were still focused on his steering and the road.
“Oh, I see.”
“Is there anything you can tell me that I always do? I am trying to regain my lost memories,” I inquired, and with the way he acted, something told me that he was not ready to tell me anything, probably he was scared or something.
“You won’t blame him, you know. He doesn’t want to get into trouble by talking to you. He is just a beta,” Leah said to me.
“I understand him so well, but all the same, I do not bite at all. Besides, I don’t care if I am higher in rank as well.”
“Since we can’t remember anything, maybe Alpha Nate told him not to fill you with so many details since you are just recovering. I feel everyone is respecting the doctor’s advice,” Leah added, and I found good reason in it. The doctor doesn’t want me to get choked up with so many memories. If it happens, I might feel that same strange headache and a loud noise.
I finally arrived at the place, and it was beautifully decorated. I loved it already, and I could smell that Nate was nearby.
“Come with me, Luna Gabriella,” David said with a kind gesture, and I stepped out walking behind him.
“There you are, my beloved,” Nate said with a wink, and he hugged me before he placed a kiss on my cheek.
“Hi Nate, what’s the occasion?”
“Well, today I will be taking you to places you loved going to in the past. I believe it can help trigger some memories.”
“That’s cool, so you mean I love coming here?” I questioned, looking around.
“Yes, you do. You always tell me you hate the way everyone always bows to greet you and calls you Luna all the time.”
“That sounds like me,” I giggled.
“Yes, I am glad you remember that now. You always like to live normally and be the regular girl that you are. So for that reason, you like to come here with me all the time, and we get to visit so many places with our identity hidden.” He took my hand, saying, “Come with me, my love, let’s explore together.”
I nodded with excitement, walking with him, and Dave left us to be alone.
We visited so many places, and I was loved by so many. And all of a sudden, some kid came from nowhere, crying, “Please help us. The Blood Moon Pack just attacked us and killed many of us. I managed to escape.”
“I will handle this,” he said.
“You don’t have to say this in Luna’s presence. Come with me and tell me the details.” It seems he doesn’t want to trouble me at all, but I am willing to be troubled.
“No, Nate, tell me everything. You act like the pack has been bringing troubles.”
“You don’t have to stress yourself.”
“Please tell me.”
“Alpha Nicklaus has been attacking our packs and claiming our territories. He hates us because we are weak.”
I got angry, saying, “No, we are not weak. You’ve got me, the Moon god Luna. Tell me everything in detail.”
I insisted he told me everything that I needed to know, and he finally agreed after calling his beta to take care of the boy.
“I know you can’t remember everything now, but Alpha Nicklaus is our sworn enemy. He wants to be the king of the entire pack in existence, and he is ready to kill whoever dares to go against him.”
I didn’t know the time I got vexed, and everyone around me at the moment bowed down immediately, except for Nate, who held my hand to calm me down.
“Calm yourself down; your crescent mark just revealed, and it’s dangerous because we are here alone.”
I closed my eyes to calm down, and then I said to him, “I promise you, I will never let Alpha Nicklaus get his way over us.”
He smiled at me, saying, “You don’t need to trouble yourself about everything that is happening right now. Just focus on getting better.” He tried to sweet talk me again, but I am not willing to fall for it. Why would a werewolf like us become so evil just for power?
“I won’t hide his other crimes. He killed so many of us and took our ladies, either he has fun with them with his fellow accomplice or he sells them into slavery.”
He said, holding himself back from shedding a tear.
“He has fun with ladies that are not even his mate? Who does that?”
“Everyone is scared of him, but we have to hope that when you finally meet your wolf, not just that, you are also the crescent goddess, the only one to stop it. But after the accident, you lost your memory. It was so terrible and heartbreaking.” He hugged me so tight, and I felt so emotional right now. The accident that happened to me might have placed him in mystery, and I will try my best not to make reference to it and will try my best to remember everything myself.
I had to pat his back to calm him down this time around. “It’s okay, Nate. I am here now. You don’t need to worry yourself anymore. You’ve got me in your life now, and I will never leave you alone.”
“Thank you so much, Gabby. I will make sure such an accident never repeats itself again. I will protect you with my life, and I am willing to sacrifice anything to keep you safe.” He added, and I believed him so much.
“Leah, I hate that Alpha Nicklaus. Why would he be killing the weak and taking advantage of ladies? I will never accept such. He needs to pay for his crimes.” I said to my wolf form, and she also saw reason with me and agreed. It’s so painful that I am yet to recover from this. If not, I would have marched to the Alpha himself and used my powers to fight him, subdued him, and then locked him up to face his punishment for life. I can’t wait to get all better.
A few moments later, when we were able to get over our sad emotions, I told him I wanted to speak with the victims’ parents and give them hope, and he allowed me to go ahead and do it.
