Chapter 5 Show The Luna In Me

• Adeline's pov
• “ Show us, our Luna,” she said coldly, her green eyes digging into my secrets.
• Oh, my God! He’s saving me, but what is he up to? My eyes roamed around his body, looking for cuts and injuries, but there were none. I thought they fought?
• “ What were you doing? “ He screamed, bringing me back to reality.
• Well, he was staring at a guard who was shaking and sweating profusely beside him.
• Elio ruffled his hair and, surprisingly, slapped him. Everyone gasped.
• What is he doing? Does he want to get him killed? I felt terribly scared of him because he was slapping a guard.
• Luisa opened her mouth to talk after staring at his antics for a while.
• “ What do you think you’re doing, son? “She screamed.
• Son? At this moment I became confused and eager to know the full story of my lover. I thought Matteo called him half brother! Oh, maybe she loves him as she loves Matteo? But again, who is the brother and the stepbrother? I can’t be sure.
• Elio gave him mom a little bow and walked up to her. “ Your guard is nothing but trash? You can’t believe this is how they do in the mansion. They’ve visited the prisons so much that they didn’t fear it for once! “
• Luisa placed her hand on his shoulders and uttered, “Calm down. A royal shouldn’t lose his temper. Tell me what is going on? Did they steal again? “
• He shook his head, heaved a sigh and went to the guards and put his hand on the nape of his neck pressing it hard.
• “ What did you do? “ He asked, clicking his tongue, but the guard was still shaking intensely.
• “ What did you do? “ His voice echoed so that it made me flinch.
• The guard started to talk. “ I said something bad about our Luna!”
• “ What did you say? “
• “ I said she doesn’t look happy that if she doesn’t want our Alpha, she should come to me! “ He said in between his cries.
• Luisa’s expression didn’t change the whole time, rolled her eyes and turned to face me.
• What? Why isn’t she so easy to distract? Just as I thought, she repeated her command.
• “ Let’s continue Luna! He can say whatever he wants, but he can never get it! “
• Elio averted his gaze at me, shook his head and screamed while holding the shirt of the guard,
• “ We should punish you for this sin! “
• Luisa replied angrily, “ Can’t you see I’m in the middle of something? What do you care, the guard or the pack’s future? “
• I knew it was over for me. How will I summon my wolf? My mom knew I couldn’t and i know she’d have distracted her from keening on that question.
• “ What is going on? “ Matteo’s voice echoed in the room.
• He made his way to me and raised my chin. “ Why did you get out of your room? “ He said loud enough for everyone to hear.
• I replied, feigning distraught, “ I don’t know . .”
• His gaze fell upon Luisa as he said, “My Luna is not doing well and needs to sleep.” She is extremely stressed.
• Luisa, not backing down, replied, “ She just needs to do as I say. She answered yes, so let her show me! “
• “ It takes a lot of strength to transform. I told you she was unwell. How can she? “
• “ Son, i just... fine, don’t let her transform. I want to feel the presence of her wolf! “ She screamed.
• “ That’s enough! “ He retaliated.
• Luisa clenched the rails and yelled at the top of her voice, “I care about this pack’s future and yours. I don’t need a weak Luna from a weak pack “
• Those words made a lasting impression on me. Regardless, her words were true. I am weak Luna claiming to be strong. I know nothing about werewolves! In fact, I never wanted to know about werewolves! I am weak because I chose to ignore my background.
• Suddenly, he put his hands into mine and stormed out of the room.
• We stopped outside a room, and he hurriedly removed his hands from mine.
• “ You never listen, do you? “ He asked, pushing me to the door.
• My eyes widened as I answered the question. “ I never heard you say those words. Even if I hear, I’m not a slave. You don’t control me, and neither does your mom. I’m going to find my way out of here! “
• I didn’t give him a chance to talk and continued,“ Elio will get me out of here because I am getting crazy. I haven’t spent up to two days, and this family is driving me crazy. We are getting out of here, eventually. Just wait and see! “
• He chuckled softly and gave me a smirk. “ I didn’t kill him because of you. You can’t stand against me because I know you can’t summon your wolf. If you had a connection with your wolf, you would have joined the fight! “
• I gulped down my throat and avoided his gaze. How did he know? Did Elio tell him?
• He looked at me one more time and said coldly, “ Go to your room, or I’ll make you. I can be soft, but you do not want to see my bad side! “
• *****
• I was on my to our room while dawning on the things he uttered. I am weak Luna; Those words echoed in my ear.
• Was I any different from my sister? It’s because of her that I became like this. She promised we'd live in Seattle forever and live a typical human life. She’s there. Why was I brought here to suffer?
• I entered the room, and suddenly I was pushed to the floor, falling flat on my chest. I winced in pain and thought I had slipped.
• I slowly stood up and turned around to see someone staring at me. I was right; I was pushed!
• The person went
• on saying, “ I know your secrets! “
• Oh shit!
