Longing For My Rejected Luna

*****Erika's POV*****

"Why?" I 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 I know the why. I have to start the fight first. Knowing the why would certainly need some fight. But before I think of anything, I just want to make sure Kat survives this." I turned my attention back to the bed where she was receiving treatment.

"Can't we take her to my room?" I did not want to be around Jace. I needed Kat in my room, that was possibly the only way I 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?" I was sounding quote unreasonable in that instant but I did not care. If Kat could be transferred to my room, I'd like it.

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

I sighed. "Nothing."

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

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

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

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

"Look, I know you're angry but can you just calm down for the time being?"noveldrama

I gave him the meanest once-over I 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 remind me that he caused of all this.

"Don't tell me what to do! You have no right to do that, Jace." I admonished angrily, stepping forward. Paula was pulling me back.

"I'm not..."

But I 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.

I 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.

I 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.

I was not my usual self right now but again, I did not care. I did not care what happened, but I was in a mood. Paula cane to pull me away. The doctor and nurses stood to watch warily. From the corner of my eye, I saw one of the nurses looked at me in 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. I 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!" I used that same growling tone at her.

She looked taken aback, and released her hold on me. Realizing the way I'd talked to her, I ran out of the room, bounded down the stairs, sprinted through the hallways and out the back door of the mansion. I did not stop until I was at the stream close to the mansion.

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

pretend to be his Luna of sometimes his personal servant. Jace would try to mimic dad and I would mimic dad's personal maid - Yolanda. He would roar in laughter, finding our unscripted drama very funny.

It was fun. Katjoined In on some day 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 to me in 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 at me so sudden that I was staggering under the weight of

it all. Jace wanted to leave, but I was keeping him back. Despite being angry at him, I did not want him to go. I 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, I was sobbing. Though the lake was quite lonely, people could still see but it would be a far view for them and no one came here if me, my brother or my dad was here. So, for the time being, I was going to be alone. It was better for me. I needed to think. To plan. I had a lot of work ahead of me.

"Hello, Your Highness."

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