Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna (Athena Enchanted) novel Chapter 364

AELIANA

He let me go.

He let them take me.

I begged him not to do it and he still fell for it, he let them tear me from his arms and he didn’t even look at me. I didn’t give up fighting, not even when they put me in the back of the ambulance. I screamed until my throat was raw, and even now as I sit on the bed, cuffed to the bedpost, the tears stop coming.

They cuffed me to the bedpost because I wouldn’t stop screaming, and they feared I’d hurt Dr Eleanor. I’ve thought about it, and the only thing stopping me is the idea of proving them right, proving that I’m unstable, and not these cuffs.

“Aeliana,” Doctor Eleanor says softly, staring at me from the door where she’s been glued. “This is Doctor James, he’ll be taking care of your health from now on.”

“Why?” I swallow.

“Because Alpha Kingston fired.”

“No,” I glare. How could I care about her damn job now when I’m getting locked up against my will? “Why did you do it? Why did you say those things about me?”

Her lips part and she turns to the other doctor for a moment before looking back at me. “It’s only for three months,” she says. “You need this Aeliana, you need a controlled environment where you can focus on healing without the pressures of your other responsibilities, or the influence of people’s actions towards you.”

“I don’t want to be here,” I sniff. “I need to be at home, I want to be with my family, please.” I hiccup, “I don’t want to be here, I’ll go crazy for real if I stay here!”

“This is for the best, Aeliana. You’re safer here. Alpha Kingston won’t have to worry about you every second.” She tells me, her voice now grating on my nerves. “He can focus on the pack while you heal. It’s just temporary.”

“Is that it?” I hiccup, nearly choking in my attempt to swallow it down. “Is that what you told him? Is that why he gave up on me? Because I’m a burden.”
