Silent Luna Novel – “NOBODY TOUCHES MY MATE’S BODY” he yells. At this point I am full on sobbing. “Sorry Alpha” the others say in unison. When I look at the big guy, he is starting to head towards me with the shirt. I start screaming and I try to stand but I don’t make it too far when two strong arms wrap around my waist. “Where are you going princess?” The big guy asks. As I feel his breath on my neck along with his voice I feel a shiver run down my spine. The next thing I know he is spinning my around, and putting the big shirt over my head. After getting it on he picks me up effortlessly bridal style. I wish I could say it was easy because I wasn’t fighting him, but I was fighting and squirming the whole time. Not that it helped much. “Stop that princess and tell me your name” I stop moving but I don’t answer, I just stare at him. Here is where he starts to get angry again, but there is no way for me to explain myself. I don’t speak.
For an infinite amount of time, it felt like all I could do was run. One foot in front of the other and just keep pushing. I knew eventually my body would give out, but the second I stopped I knew I would be in trouble. Not the kind of trouble that would be be manageable, but the kind of trouble that would get me killed. And at this point in my life I didn’t know if that excited me or terrified me. The pain along my leg had gone numb a long time ago but I was just now starting to feel the blood loss and fatigue hit me. I sat down next to a tree to take a break and just thought about my life . There is no specific age when the violence and the terrors of the world begin. It can take over your life at any moment. I am a perfect example of this . I was eight when I was taken. There was an attack in the middle of the night and nobody saw it coming. We were at peace with all of out allies.
In the werewolf community, it is always important to have allies. A pack can be very large, but they can’t defend themselves from everything. Since I was so young, I had never shifted before. Meaning I could not defend myself against any of the shifted wolves around me. My captors had kept injecting me with wolfs bane so that I had not shifted before today. Ten years later I had managed to get away . Ever since they took me they tortured me and kept me as their play thing for years now. I was supposed to cook for them and entertain them whenever they wanted . But most of them were dead now, all except for their leader. Realizing I can in no way go any farther and I am not healing quick enough I accept my death. It is almost peaceful to think that after my life of torture I can finally die peacefully. I lay down still in wolf form and curl up into a ball waiting to die or heal . About a half an hour later I hear something walking in the woods. I stand up on all four legs and look around me. Suddenly a huge brown wolf with a blond tipped tail is staring back at me looking fully prepared to kill me.
The wolf starts growling and out of instinct I crouch into a defensive position. He walks back and forth and after finally deciding I am not going to attack him, he shifts back into his human form . “Shift” the guy says. I just lay down fully on my stomach. His strong voice scares me a bit and I want to shift back but that is difficult because I don’t really know how . When I shifted into a wolf it was not on purpose and I don’t really know how it happened . “SHIFT!” He says louder. I whine out loud and put my head down. When he sees this he squints and squats down . “I have you ever shifted before?” I shake my huge head no and he sighs. “Just think about yourself in human form and picture yourself like that .” I do what he says picturing my long brown hair down to my waist, my petite 5 foot tall figure with my bright green eyes. Seconds later I feel my bones morphing for the second time that day. After I shifted I lay on the ground undressed in a ball. Now back in my human form I can see I have a huge gash from my upper thigh on my left leg all the way down to my ankle.
A few seconds later I hear the big guy in front of me start to talk . “Our pack doctor is on his way and will be here any minute and our Alpha will come after that. You aren’t really on our territory yet for another quarter of a mile or so, but he will still wants to question you .” I just laid there listening but as soon as he says other are coming I start crawling away, fear gripping me . Another group is going to kidnap me again . Not again please not again I think to myself . I try getting up but realizing how weak I am I quickly fall down again. The brunette comes to help me but as soon as he starts stepping closer I start scooting back on my hip using my arms . Once he sees what I am doing he stops and holds his hands up . “I’m not going to hurt you okay?How about you tell me your name?” He asks. I just stare at him for ten seconds later an older man starts walking towards us. He hands the brunette shorts and has a huge shirt in his other hand . My mind but is telling me to trust him but I can’t. My mind is telling me to run away from these people. When the doctor starts coming towards me, he starts talking to the brunette at the same time . “How did you meet her?” The doctor asks “I was on my way back to the territory when I found her laying here. She didn’t know how to shift but she is really hurt on her leg,” they both turn to look at me and I instantly freeze up again.
“I see” the doctor says, he looks towards me at my leg but when he starts walking closer I start scooting away silent tears running down my face. I didn’t even notice I had been crying this entire time up until now . “Listen you have to let me come look at your leg, it’s really bad and you may need stitches,” he says, but I am barely listening, only thinking of how I can run away when I can’t even stand up . Once he sees me looking around he nods at the brunette “You are going to have to help me, she is too scared and she needs medical attention immediately .” The other guy starts walking towards me and I notice a third guy has arrived and is on his way to ‘help’ . This guy is blond with blue eyes. He is taller but not as tall as the brunette though both are built like fighters . I don’t say a word as I am struggling to crawl away and crying while the boys walk towards me. When they get to me the brunette comes by my head and sits next tome putting my upper body in front of him while the blond sits at my feet holding my legs.
I struggle for a couple seconds, but I start to get tired from the blood loss and my lack of nutrition. I just sag against them, crying a little louder now. The doctor looks at my leg and starts cleaning it up with a cloth and spirits. I scream a little from the pain when I hear a growl from the woods behind me . “Mine!” is all I hear. As soon as I hear his voice I feel a little more comfort. I have no idea why and then I start to get confused. The guys that are holding me go stiff and look up at the man. I look up too and when I see him I melt a little on the inside . He is by far the most handsome person I have ever met and a tiny voice in my head is telling me to run to him. The new man easily is bigger than the other guys and is about 6’4″. Not only is he as tall as a mountain but he is built beyond the two before. His muscles bulge out of his black v-neck and his jeans fit him perfectly, not too tight but tight enough to see some of his gorgeous body. When I realize I am checking him out I look up to his chiseled face with his brunette hair that has that messy style sticking up in the front . His eyes are what scare me the most.
Right now they are pitch black and staring directly at me . Right as I see those eyes I trying getting up to run away again and then remember that I am sandwiched between the other two hulks that are holding me down . And then I realize I am still undressed . In front of four guys . I am used to being this way, but right now it feels wrong somehow. I hear a growl and look up to see its the big guy looking at us . I start whimpering and crying very loudly now struggling a lot harder to get out and if by some miracle they actually let me go. When I start moving away the doctor decides to pipe up . “Alpha they were trying to help me take care of her, we were unaware she is your mate,” he says bowing his head . “NOBODY TOUCHES MY MATE’S BODY” he yells. At this point I am full on sobbing . In all my years at the cabin, it has been a long time since I cried this hard. Maybe it was getting my freedom back, only for it to be ripped away hours later, or the fact that my leg just started gushing blood again, or even because despite the look on the big guy’s face, I still had this urge to run towards him and hug him.
“Sorry Alpha” the others say in unison . When I look at the big guy, he is starting to head towards me with the shirt. I start screaming and I try to stand but I don’t make it too far when two strong arms wrap around my waist . “Where are you going princess?” The big guy asks. As I feel his breath on my neck along with his voice I feel a shiver run down my spine. The next thing I know he is spinning my around, and putting the big shirt over my head. After getting it on he picks me up effortlessly bridal style . I wish I could say it was easy because I wasn’t fighting him, but I was fighting and squirming the whole time . Not that it helped much . Even struggling as I am there is no point. This man is well over a foot taller than me, has the body of a god, and looks like he works out everyday, all day. While I am sitting here barely over five feet tall, bleeding and who knows the last time I ate anything or even walked more than a few feet in my cell . Now realizing how untrained I am and my lack of physical capability, it makes me want to get out even more. Once they take me back I will have no way of getting out of whatever cell they put me in.
“Stop that princess and tell me your name” I stop moving but I don’t answer, I just stare at him . Here is where he starts to get angry again, but there is no way for me to explain myself . I don’t speak . I haven’t talked since about a year or so after I got taken. Lashing out and asking them to stop made everything so much worse, that one day I just stopped and I haven’t said a single word since . Realizing I am not answering he looks down at me and asks a little more forcefully “What is your name?!” “Alpha I don’t know if she speaks, she hasn’t said a word since we got here,” says the brunette . “Dave can you go back to the house and ask to borrow some of Hazels clothes, we will be headed there right now .” So the brunette is Dave . “Yes alpha” Dave says. He then starts running back into the woods away from us . The big guy holding me looks down at me . “Princess can you please tell me your name?” I look away shaking my head. I don’t know him. I don’t trust him. He could be as bad as the last people and I won’t give the satisfaction of hearing my pleas again . I just look away trying to find anything that will help me escape. When I realize there is no way I can get away from four fully grown men I start crying again.
When I look up his eyes are full of sadness and sorrow. I try to focus on his expression but I suddenly start getting very dizzy again. If this big man wasn’t carrying me I would definitely be falling over by now . I feel the man holding me start walking and then running, and right as I am about to pass out I hear him yelling orders . I try to look up to see where we are going but everything goes blurry until it all fades to black . *** When I wake up all I hear is the beeping of a machine and low sounds of voices from the hall . “Is she up yet?” I recognize the voice as the big man who carried me from the woods . “No Alpha James. I gave her some sedatives a couple hours back, she is still recovering. Even when she recovers from the wound on her leg, she isn’t out of the woods yet. She is highly malnourished and has little, to no muscle on her body. Wherever she was she was not allowed out much, if ever. I am surprised she ran as long as she did without tiring,” says the doctor. I also recognize him from the woods.
“Is there anything else wrong Richard?” ” She has minor cuts and bruises but those should heal soon. But there is something else you should know, and you have to be calm about this” says the doctor, I can hear the worry in his voice . “What is it?” “Wherever she was it wasn’t by her own will. The bruises on her ankles and wrists show signs of her being tied down and with the amount of scars Showing for a very long time. Whatever trauma she has endured is probably was causes her psychological issues .” “What did they do to her?” I hear the big guys voice boom . “I’m not sure, but she has been through a lot. There is no medical reason for her silence; I believe she can speak, but chooses not. Also I think she maybe be a teenager, but with her body so malnourished and her growth stunted, I couldn’t really be sure about her exact age .” “I just don’t understand what happened to her and I want her to talk to me. I’m her mate she should feel some type of pull by now.
She must know what we mean to each other .” I hear the big guy moving towards the room. I jump out of the bed looking for a way, any way, out of this room . When the guys at the cabin got angry it was bad, sometimes I wasn’t sure if they would kill me and there were a couple times I had come so close to death . I wasn’t about to go through that again when I got a chance at freedom . I looked for a window or a door but there were no windows, but there was a second door . When I stood up I gasped at the pain in my leg. When I looked down I realized I was in one of those hospital gowns and I could see the bottom half of my shin . There were stitches going all of my leg but it looked like it was healing rather quickly. The worst part was my thigh, I think it ripped open because I felt blood trail down my leg . I heard the door knob start to turn and I panicked; not knowing what else to do I ran into the next room only to find it was a bathroom.
I jumped in the shower hiding behind the curtain . Now, I am not an idiot, I knew he would find me . But this gave me time to mentally prepare for whatever beating I was about to receive. I took deep breaths in and out while waiting. I heard him walking around the room and the sound of his footsteps got closer . The shower curtain flew back and there stood the big guy, visibly angry and slightly panicked . I cower away hoping he will just leave, but knowing he won’t. When he sees me crying and looking at him he gets this confused look across his face . “Why did you hide?” his voice calms me down for a couple seconds before someone else bursts through the bathroom door.
