His Reluctant Luna novel Chapter 87

Olivia

I gazed at the window, having no idea what to make of the woman in the room. When I had opened my eyes in this strange room. I had realized that I had stumbled into a place inhabited by the same beings I had left. I had panicked initially, thinking I was in another experiment, I had later on concluded that these beings didn't seem to want to harm or hurt me. The fact that these creatures ran a hospital was baffling. Though nothing surprised me anymore. I still had a doubt, whether I should trust these people or not.

This beautiful woman, who was just like them. Seemed happy and relaxed. She wasn't abused like me. She exuded a calming presence that silenced the horrors I had gone through. Talking to her felt nice.

"I will tell you everything I know."

The woman seemed to brighten up and sat back on her chair. She gently held my hand, "that's very brave of you. How old are you?"

"I am 19," I replied.

"So young! " She looked horrified.

"I am so sorry you had to go through such horrors at such a young age. How can I help you?" The way she said, it seemed earnest.

"Can you kill them for me?" I said.

Her gaze turned steely, "yes, I promise you. They will go through worse, each one of them would suffer a fate worse than death."

I smiled, those words, even if they were empty promises, felt like music to my ears.

"I was abducted by a group of men while returning from my job. It was late evening. They raped me, again and again, and again." Her grip tightened.

"There were several women like me. Kept in different cells. Their leader experimented on us, like lab rats. He gave me many injections. It made me like them.....like you people. Begging for mercy was useless. They violated us in every possible way.....Every day..."

I paused, my body broke out into a cold sweat at those memories.

"You can stop if you want." She said.

"No, I want to get over with it," I replied.

"They were trying to make us pregnant, I think. I heard some of them talking, but none of us got pregnant, thank God for that! I also heard them planning raids, kidnap alpha women, I don't understand what it meant."

The woman opposite me narrowed her eyes.

"How did you escape from them?"

"I pretended to be dead! Whenever one of us died. They used to dispose of the bodies. I don't know where they were going to throw me, but I took my chance. When the girl in my cell died. I switched with her body and lay down instead of her. They are not very bright. They didnt care whom they were throwing. I had passed out in the boot of the car. When I regained consciousness. I was here."

"You were very brave. Can you tell me more about their leader? And where they kept you?"

"Their leader is the most horrifying and disgusting creature I have ever seen. He looks like a deformed monster. Calls himself a scientist, but he never violated us. It was always his minions."

"Does he have a name?"

"They all called him boss, but once I eavesdropped on his conversation with another shifter, who was new. He called him Stuart."

I explained whatever I knew about those people and places they had kept me. As I mentioned, I felt free.

"Thank you, you have given some very valuable information. I promise you, those rogues will be caught and punished. You have suffered untold abuse. But you are a brave girl. Fate and Luna have led you here. There must be a reason for it."

"Luna?" I asked. I didn't understand most of their terms.

She laughed.

"You will know everything soon."

Alice

As I left the hospital, I was shaking with anger and disgust. Had it not been for Lucian's soothing presence in my mind, I would have shifted and ripped apart whatever I could have laid my hands on.

Lucian was aware of my mood, so he sighed, kept aside his drink and opened his arms as soon as I reached home. I immediately walked to him, looped my arms around his waist, and sniffed deeply. Taking comfort in his warmth.
