The Abused Luna's Comeback Novel - Chapter 220

220 Hostages

[Marcia’s Memory 2]

“Marcia, don’t say anything now. Listen to me,” said Miss Mona to me.

I didn’t know what she would say to me but I knew that I had been ‘dragged’ into the room by some kind of force, which I found quite strange. At the same time, I felt very uneasy because I had no idea what was happening outside.

“I know that your team has a precise number of she-wolves. I need you to stay here. I will take your place as a hostage.”

“Impossible! Miss Mona!” I exclaimed. I had no idea why she would do this, but she was a ranked member. I couldn’t let her take this risk.

“I know that you are an excellent female warrior, but I also know that you have two cute cubs. They need their mother.”

“But you also have a son!” said I to her.

“So I hope that all of our cubs will be safe.” But I didn’t know what it had to do with her wanting to replace me as I just looked at her in disbelief.

…..
“I need you to tell Alpha and the other ranked members what happened after everything is over,” said she.

“Miss Mona, you can’t do this! This is too dangerous for you!”

“Marcia. You must do this. I command you as a ranked member. As for what happens after this, I have a plan. This is the best outcome for the pack. Also, tell Edward that you are not to be blamed.”

I wanted to stop all of this, but I found that it was completely futile. I felt a power controlling me again. To my surprise and horror, I realized the power came from Miss Mona. She hid me in a closet in her room and I couldn’t make a sound or move. I could only see through the cracks in the closet.

I saw Miss Mona let her hair down and I realized that we were almost the same height, though my figure was nothing like hers. Our hair was somewhat the same color as she made her hair a little messier and covered some of her face to make her look more like me, or more like a panicked werewolf.

Miss Mona then opened the door and walked out. Soon I heard the vampire’s sharp rogue voice.

“There’s another werewolf here!”

I had a feeling that Miss Mona had been caught, and it made me very uneasy. I blamed myself for being so useless. She was a respected ranked member but there was nothing I could do about it.

I stayed in the cupboard for a while which felt like years. But miraculously, control over my hands, feet, and body suddenly came back to me again in an instant. I quickly opened the cupboard door, and when I was sure that there was no sound outside, I ran out.

That was when I realized that the battle was already over. I could tell how intense the battle was. Then, I met Beta and the chief guard and told them what had just happened.

——

[Edward’s P.O.V.]

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I had been so focused on dealing with Nicholas that I didn’t realize that one of the captives was my real mate.

Maybe Rose didn’t want me to find out and she did something to me because I should have been able to sense her presence.

“Move all the injured to the group Infirmary! Dylan, tell my father to organize the rest of the people to stay and mourn the dead.” I told Marcia to get up and assured her that she was not to be blamed.

I had no time to grieve, so I ran as fast as I could to the darkroom in Patrick’s room. There was a darkroom in every pack member’s room, just in case.

I looked at the coordinates on the screen from the tracker on Emily’s bracelet. I was sure the Council of Elders and some of the larger battle groups were already receiving this information. Those d*mn bastards were moving fast. It looked like they were getting ready to leave the city.

‘Rose, I don’t know why you’re doing this, or why you’re hiding your plans from me, but please, please don’t let anything happen to you. As long as you’re safe, I’ll trade my life just to get you back safe and sound.’
