Longing For My Rejected Luna

*****Erika's POV*****

We ran to my room, it was Paula and I doing the running, the doctor walked hastily behind us. I just hoped nothing had happened to Kat. There had been so much blood. They had badly wounded her. Knowing Kat, I knew she would have refused to back down.

Kat did not believe in running away from a fight. She was always willing to stand her ground and fight to the end, even if it meant losing her life in the process. She had this belief that it was better for one to die honorably than live as a coward.

Kat, you're not a coward, you should have ran from them. You should have not bothered fighting, or you should have called for us. You should have ran to us and we'll would have fought it as one. Please Kat, stay strong, I cried within as I said these words to myself.

Paula ran ahead and pushed open the door, it was empty. I followed behind and frowned. "Where's Kat?"

Paula was already out of the room. "Where's your brother?"

I increased my pace to meet up with her. "Let's go to his room."

I led the way, still running. I ran up the stairs. His room was on the floor below

mine. I was not one who liked climbing the stairs which was why I chose one of the rooms downstairs as mine. Jace did not mind and chose his upstairs. I bounded up the long flight of stairs, leaping two steps at a go.

I met him halfway up. "Where's she?"

"In my room. Was coming to see..." I did not even let him finish, I ran past him and got to his room. It was very big. Even bigger than mine some.

Lying on the king sized, four poster, dark themed bed was Kat. His bed was soaked with her blood. She had passed out. Panic rose. "Doctor!"

"Right here, Your Highness." The man was just walking inside, he was breathless and looked tired from all the running and step climbing. But that was not my concern right now.

"She has lost consciousness." I could not hide the panic in my voice.

Paula cane to hold me close, wrapping me in a warm, comforting hug. And knowing she needed it too as Kat was not just my best friend, but hers too, I held her too in comfort. We both comforted each other and watched as the doctor tried to check her pulse.

"Is she going to be okay, doc?" Paula asked. I was too scared to, I did not want hear the doctor declare bad news as he'd declared on my dad.

"Yes, but only if we act fast. She's lost a lot of blood, hence, the slip into unconsciousness. I'm going to have to call some of my nurses to bring the things I need to help keep her stable, also, she'll need blood, lots of it. I have some in the blood bank but we'll have to know which is suitable for her." He explained.

"Then what are you still waiting for? Make that call immediately!" I yelled, tears, sweat and snot were all over my face.

"Calm down, Rika." Paula pulled me closer. "The doctor is doing his best."

"It's all my fault. It's because of me, they wanted me but they got her instead. I'll never forgive myself if anything happens to her." I sobbed on Paula's shoulders.

She gently led me to one of the sofa in Jace's room. Another time, I might had admired his room as I always did whenever I came to see him but not today. Today was a very ruthless day. So many things have been happening today. First it was annulling my marriage and breaking my mate bond with Alexander, then the incident with Serenity. Next was dad's poison episode, and then the argument with Jace that had led to what had happened to Kat.

Something was going on and at this moment, my head was just too hot to carry it. My mind was too disordered to think of anything. Kat had lost her parents when we were fifteen, it had been just her ever since and being an only child, she had no other relative. Kat did not know her extended family. Her parents had moved in here, to this pack just before she was born.

They had refused to tell her the true story behind their leaving their former pack to this one and being happy here, Kat had not really bothered. She had been happy being best friends with me and even when she turned an orphan, she decided to come here often as she could not really bear the loneliness. Dad had to make sure she was well provided for.

Took care of her until she became an adult. She knew this mansion like she owned it. She was my childhood best friend, I could not let anything happen to her.

I looked to see just Jace standing close to the bed, his face read of many emotions - from pain to anger to regret to sadness to torture and the list went on and on. He had caused this. This was all his fault.

The doctor came In then with two nurses trailing behind, each handling one medical device or the other. He quickly fixed the IV and made sure it was dripping into her veins. He took a scissors and tore her rib side that was gushing with blood. I stood and went with shaky legs, Paula tried to pull me away but I would not allow it.

"Remember you can not stand the sight of blood." She reminded me.

"I have to go see. To make sure Kat is fine."

She pulled me back. "Kat will be fine. She's in capable hands."

I halted and squeezed Paula's hand tight. I did not want to seat while my best friend was receiving treatment. "I need to know who did this, P. I need to fish them

out."noveldrama

"But you have to be careful, Rika. From the look of things, whoever that's behind

is might also be behind your father's current predicament. This is not a fight, Rika. This person is ready to kill. We just need to know why."
