Emerald Eyed Luna novel Nina (by Mrs.Smith) novel Chapter 100

I just can’t believe it. I just can’t. Why Brooke, why? Staring at them lying on the floor, tears ran down my cheeks. I couldn’t give Kelly up. She was carrying a baby and already had head trauma. I don’t understand any of this. I laid Kelly down but still in my protective shield. Checking her head, I saw the bleeding had stopped but she was pale. I focused all my attention to the baby to see if I could feel him or her. I heard a small heartbeat and a hint of an emotion. Calmness? I couldn’t be sure, but I felt the baby. I knew instantly it was a boy as well, but I will keep that information to myself. Satisfied she was going to be okay, I stood up and started looking around. It was the basic set up from the room. I was tortured but I feel like we didn’t walk that far, so we can’t be terribly far from the packhouse.

“Wyatt is coming, he said, to just hold on a little longer.” Raven assured me

“Why Grant?” I asked her, just completely confused. “Did you know?”

“Some things need to happen the way they are supposed to happen. Grant needed to reveal his true intentions on his own. If we were to intervene, the outcome would have been much worse.”

“That is an annoying thing to say right now…”

Raven actually chuckled at that. “Yes, I know, but it is the truth. The Mood Goddess can’t see everything, but she can see enough to help you out and hopefully get the right ending.”

“What am I supposed to do now?”

“You need to hide Kelly, Grant cannot get his hands on Kelly. That baby is part of our future,” Raven said. I looked around for a good hiding place.

Suddenly, I had a really sick thought. Damn, she is going to hate me when she wakes up. The room is filled with different objects but not much of anything else. I remember watching a movie where people in war time would hide under an already dead person as a “meat shield” of sorts. Sighing, I picked Kelly up and placed her against the wall and moved her in the fetal position to help protect the baby. Then, one by one, I picked up or dragged Brooke, Johnnie, Trevor, and Zach. I made it look like a pile of bodies, so hopefully she will be okay under all the muscle from the boys. Zach’s face was looking up and it hurt my heart to see him like that. I will need to call his parents.

Deciding that I needed to move other things around to make it look less obvious where Kelly was. I piled up everything I could and placed it under a table in the corner adjacent to Kelly. If he goes for weapons, I can keep guard over Kelly. I can handle any weapons, that I am sure, but I can’t have him between Kelly and I. However, if he does get something past me, hopefully it will hit the other bodies before it hits Kelly.

Looking down, my dress was torn, bloody and completely ruined. I had blood all over my arms, chest and face. The bandage covering the symbol was saturated in blood, so I took it off, hopefully keeping from getting infected. It was still angry, but Raven had healed it enough that it was scabbed over.

Now what? I felt like I had waited hours for either Wyatt to show up or for Grant to come back. I don’t even know where I am! I started pacing the floor with my hands on my hips. As each minute passed, I got more and more irritated. Who the fuck does he think he is, making me wait like this! I could feel my eyes glow the more I got mad.

I still can’t believe I didn’t put Grant behind this. I thought surely, has my only blood relative, that he would stand beside me. Just comes to show that blood isn’t always as thick as water. He really did play the long game. I am sure there were many times he could have killed me as I grew up. Or even when they were torturing me. Did he really need me to get the crown? And what the hell is up with Brooke? Why is she here! What did he promise her? Now, Wyatt has lost a sister because of me, and I am trying to protect his other sister. I feel so betrayed right now.

The door hand started to turn, and it brought me out of my own head. Since I have been stewing on all these emotions, I am royally pissed right now. Grant walked through the door, smiling. I decided to stall a little before I finally put the pup down.

“Tell me why again?”

“What do you mean, why? Your very existence has taken the crown from me. I am the older brother, and I was meant for that crown. Our dad would tell us we had to stay hidden. The world isn’t ready for our bloodlines yet. So, I did. I kept my bloodline a secret! It was not an easy task! I worked my way up to the council so I could take over. I even found dirt on the other councilmen to blackmail them. I even set up the sex trafficking ring so I could take it down and prove my ability to lead the people as their king since I didn’t have powers. The world would have been so happy to know about my blood that not having powers wasn’t going to matter! However, stupid fucking Devin couldn’t keep it together and kill you. He had ONE FUCKING JOB! No matter, no matter. I found another way to get what I wanted. If I kill the queen, I will get to take the throne. So, I waited and helped you out just enough to make you think I was on your side. Enough, I knew the plans and protection details. I wanted to walk you down the aisle so I would have front row seats to killing you right after you were crowned. Doing it right then and there, in front of everyone. That would make sure there was no question on who the REAL king was, and they would be able to crown me right then and there. Again, you didn’t follow the plan. I heard pitiful Brooke talking in the hall about how miserable her life is. How her mate loves his friend, and she isn’t his priority. How she hated you and wanted you gone. So, I used that to my advantage and kept feeding her bullshit about how what she felt was true. I even sold it amazingly! Like a caring uncle! The best part of all of this, and the most unfortunate part. I was the one that killed your parents. I led the rouge attack on the pack and your dad saw me kill your mother. I got the better of him and killed him too. I would have killed you then if I could have found you.” Grant was spilling everything with a smile on his face.

Poor Brooke fell right into his trap. She let her insecurities get the best of her and, in her innocence, Grant took advantage of her emotionally. I felt my blood boil and my skin started having small sparks of electricity erupt from it as he told me about my parents. The pressure was building, and I decided to let it out. I sent a blast of energy so large that it even made me stumble back. I didn’t realize I was screaming, and my hands were open wide till all the energy was gone. I had enough of listening to his twisted words, his lies and deception.

Looking over, Grant was slouched against the wall unconscious. There was a body indention on the wall above him where he hit hard with a trail of blood from where his head hit to where he rested on the floor. I didn’t fucking care. Stalking over to him, I grabbed his collar and drug him to the middle of the room. Walking over to the table, I pulled out a chair that was under it and lifted Grant up, so he was sitting on it. I went back and got rope to tie him to the chair.
