The Abused Luna's Comeback

Chapter 69 It’s Time

(Clyde’s P.O.V.)

I thought today would be the same as usual – I would just need to look at them from a distance. Well, not them. Just her. But when those crazy monsters came flooding in, I couldn’t just sit back and watch.

I rushed out and transformed into my wolf, Lance, and I saw a hint of surprise in Alpha’s eyes when he noticed me.

It was true that I had never revealed my wolf to Sunset Pack, not even during Luna’s mountaintop excursion.

So I guessed Alpha’s shocked yet curious reaction was no surprise. Still, he didn’t have time to figure things out at the moment. These ugly and scary things were really difficult to deal with. They weren’t strong, but there were just too many of them. We had to end this quickly. It didn’t seem like a good idea to keep fighting I heard Alpha’s wolf giving orders to the big guy’s wolf. I knew the big guy was the chief guard of the pack, but I didn’t know his name yet. The big guy managed to push through the circle of monsters around him as he bounded for the car. Alpha was wise. Sometimes, it was best to retreat first. After all, revenge was a dish best served cold.

I gave him a look to signal him to take Rose to the car. He got my message and put her on his back before running like the wind towards the car.

Just as covered their backs and wondered why their car hadn’t left yet, I saw Alpha coming toward me. I was not expecting this. In fact, I was ready for them to leave me behind. But it seemed like I had made a good choice to join this pack. If this was Alex, he would have run away by the time I showed up. Suddenly, I saw a human-shaped figure lunging at me from the front. Most of the figure’s face was rotten but I could see it grinning at me.

Without hesitation, I dug my claws deep into his shoulder and lifted him up before tearing his throat in half with my sharp teeth.

But something unexpected happened.

I was hit by another force before I found myself flying to the side. I had never felt such a force hit me before, not even from my master. When I fell heavily to the ground, I felt a sharp pain in my ribs. I curled up and was forced to return to my human form, still conscious.

I knew the force came from Rose, which puzzled me even more. Why did she stop me from killing the monster?

As I groaned and tried to get up, a big black wolf came and scooped me up, before running back to the car. It was Alpha. I was grateful to him, but f*cking hell, the way he carried me pressed on my broken ribs. I shivered in pain. I knew that he didn’t know what kind of internal injury I had.

The big black wolf cleared a few more obstacles on the way, then shoved me into the back seat of the car. But instead of getting in with us, he jumped onto the roof of the car. God, were all the people in this pack so crazy? I might end up squashed instead of being bitten to death by these ugly things.

I glanced over at the passenger seat and saw Rose lying there like she was asleep, presumably because she had used up a lot of her energy to attack me and had passed out from exhaustion.

I struggled to get up and look out the window. The ugly things were still chasing us, but they gradually lost us. Then, after a while, the big guy finally stopped the car and Alpha got off the roof, returning to his human form. He was strong, but the car was equally as strong to hold his weight. Alpha proceeded to check on Rose immediately, but she was still unconscious.

The big guy got down from the driver’s seat, opened the trunk, took out some clothes, and handed them to Alpha. The latter put them on himself and then threw me a towel.

“Sorry, this is all that’s left.”

I accepted it with a nod. My ribs hurt so much that I didn’t want to speak unnecessarily.

“Alpha, Luna fainted after you put her in the

car.”

“Leave us. I want to check if it’s because she was bitten.”

The big guy obediently walked to the other side of the car, but I didn’t move.

“Alpha, I think she passed out from exhaustion because she had used her energy on me just

now.”

Alpha’s head turned sharply at me, his face filled with vigilance.

“Do you know what you’re saying?”

“Yes, I do, Alpha. I’ve been in New Moon Pack for almost eight years. I know Luna’s secret.”

I watched as the vigilance on Alpha’s face turned to surprise, then anger.

“So you appeared because you were following us? You’ve been following Rose?”

“Alpha, I swear I don’t mean any harm. I’ll explain everything to you when we get back. But I think the three of us need to go to the infirmary now.” I pointed in the direction of the big guy on the other side of the car.

We all turned to look at him and witnessed the big guy checking his wrist.

“Dylan, what’s wrong?”

“Alpha, it’s nothing serious. I just got bitten by one of them.”

“Oh, I hope you won’t become one of them too.” I smiled at the big guy. So, his name was Dylan. But I quickly gasped in pain. Smiling wasn’t a good idea when one had broken ribs, I guessed. Dylan simply looked at me with disdain and anger. In the end, Alpha drove us as fast as he could toward the pack while Dylan sat in the back seat with me. He had let Alpha tie his hands to the railings on the roof of the car so he wouldn’t turn into one of the monsters. I might have mentioned that as a joke earlier but I admired his professionalism as their guard.

During our journey, we put our heads together to figure out what those monsters were. But beyond that, we kept silent.

After more than half an hour, Luna woke up.

“Edward! Where are we now?!”

“On the way back to the pack. Babe, are you okay?” I could see that Alpha had a lot he wanted to say, but he held back. He just comforted her as he held her hand.

“I’m fine, just a little dizzy… Dylan! Why are you dressed like this? Clyde? Why are you here?”

Rose asked a series of questions, but I saw a deep worry forming in Alpha’s eyes from the rearview mirror.

She remembered that they were in the middle of their visit when they were suddenly surrounded. Then, a blue wolf appeared and after that, Alpha put her in the car.

She didn’t remember the part where she attacked me so hard that I almost died.

I looked out the window. There were no birds or trees as the heat from the hot sun stifled the air.

It was time, though it was earlier than I had expected.
