Finally on day three we got a reprieve from her coma.

“Wha…Where am I? What happened? I feel like I am moving through sand.”

We all jump up. Xander and Oscar have made her a sandwich every night. I have been sleeping on a recliner and not loving it, but the alternative was worse. I found I got sick if I was away from her, trying to sleep in my own room. So here I am.

“My head hurts. Sky what did we do at the Alpha meeting? We didn’t take shots did we?”

She still thinks it was days ago.

“No, we didn’t do shots.” I smile at her, at least her humor is still intact. Do me a favor, take a deep breath and tell me what you notice.”

She looks at me funny but does what I ask. “Oh, my what is that?” She sniffs again and then looks around, just noticing Xander and Oscar sitting next to her. “Oh, sh*t!”

I giggle and she looks back at me. “You found your mates and it seems you weren’t ready for that surprise.”

“No way! There is no way I’m their mate. That is not possible, I cannot be the next Luna Queen. No one would want me as their queen.” She’s still talking to me like the guys aren’t even there.

“You’re our Queen.” Oscar purrs behind her.

“Oh, no! I’m out, ya’ll need to talk…or whatever.” I got up and tried not to run out of the room.

“How long are you going to hide behind that excuse? You will have to see them eventually.”

“It’s not an excuse, and I know, but I don’t even know what I would say to them now. It’s been a year, but it feels like forever and the only contact we had was a letter and the necklace they sent for my birthday, that still brings up rough memories. I was attacked, poisoned and beaten within an inch of my life all because of something as minor as wanting me to go to a dance. That’s the last actual memory we all have of each other. It’s so stupid, but I still just struggle with that. With being beaten by her, again, with them not noticing what is really happening right under their noses. With the imbalance of discipline and justice from them and even Luna Ave and Alpha Lucas. Ugh!” I rub my hands over my face.

“So it is Kaley. It took you two years to tell me that.” She huffs.

“That’s the part that you caught in the whole conversation? Damn. I must be tired or you are getting better at your interrogation techniques. Yes, Kaley is my problem. She wants to be Luna and has always had a target on me, even before you came along and forced the guy’s notice my way.” I gave her a half smile. “We are the same age so there is still time before she finds out if she is mated to any of them. But I don’t think she will care, she will try everything to be Luna. She’s worse than Olympia and Charlene.”

“I gathered that. She threw quite the tantrum when the boys left the mating ball. Broke a few things… very Luna-like, I might add.” She laughs at her own sarcasm.

“You didn’t tell me that! Actually I don’t think I heard anything about that night. Everyone was focused on what happened to me, we never talked about everyone else.”
