From Rougue To Luna novel Chapter 67

I heard a feminine cry as several sets of footsteps made their way back up the hallway after a few minutes. I turned my face just in time to see a blurred vision of a familiar short blonde she-wolf as she was pulled forward, barely able to stand on her own. My hand reached out to her, trying to call her name, but it only came out a quiet whisper. She must have sensed me because her eyes snapped up just as her name left my lips.

"Thalia! Oh Thalia, oh my God. Let me go!" she squirmed in the large Alpha's grasp and he finally released her as he glared down at Cage.

She plopped to the ground, but quickly crawled over to my side, taking my hand in hers as tears began to stream down her face. Her eyes were sunken and her face was thin. Pale skin replaced the glowing sun kissed tan she'd once held. She reached up and stroked my cheek tenderly, causing me to wince in pain when she crossed the spot along my cheek and jaw where Cage had struck me. "Thalia, what did he do to you?"

"Daddy hurt me and my mommy!" Huntleigh said as she frowned up at Cage who was now being held on each side by two warriors as Dominic loomed over him from behind.

"You bastard. What do you think you're doing? She's mine! I can do with her as I see fit. She belongs to me!" Cage said as he fought to pull free from his captors.

Dominic's voice boomed loudly, sending chills down my spine and causing all of the males to immediately drop their heads in submission, earning several whines from those in the room including myself and Avery. "Enough! Cage, what you've done here is inexcusable, and you will be punished accordingly. Get him out of my sight. We will deal with him back at the main house. Take him down to the cellars."

A loud growl erupted from Cage, but the warriors managed to overtake him, dragging his fighting body from the house. The Alpha stepped away from the door and walked out of the door, and for a moment, my body tensed. Was he bringing more in to take us away too? Was he going to punish me for my mother's deception? I knew now more than ever that the rumor had to be true. His scent was so familiar, so much like mine. He was in fact my father.

After a few moments, I heard several sets of footsteps pounding down the hallway and I braced myself, knowing that this could be the beginning of the end. I'd endured all I had only to be taken in the end by the man who was supposed to be my father. But instead, my eyes landed on a familiar pair of steel blue eyes as they searched the room wildly and landed on my own.

I woodenly nodded, fighting to ignore the ache coursing through each tendon of my neck, forcing a small smile as Ivy pulled her back into the hallway. I had promised, and we were ok. For now.

My gaze slowly came back to rest on Rhett's as it swirled with emotion. He finally blinked it away and regained his focus before speaking. His expression turned to one of guilt as he spoke as softly as he could.

"I'm going to have to move you. It's going to hurt. Can you handle it until I can get you in the car outside?" He said as he pulled out a small packet, tearing off the top and bringing it to my lips. "This will help some with the pain until I can get you back to the healer."
