1392words
I don't want to open my eyes, i don't wanna see reality. See it as it stabs me on my back.
Wake up.
No, please Gina. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm all out of hopes, too exhausted to even think about what's happening. Too tired from the pain they inflicted, he inflicted.

"What the fuck is this?!"
I felt the restraints of my body when i tried to move towards my mate. I looked ahead and saw numerous werewolves now standing just by stone, including the Dark witch that was currently restraining me using dark magic.
"Hey.." i whimpered towards him. "Look at me! What is this?!"
He refused to look at me, his back facing me, tears fell from my eyes. The air was tense, just like the situation i'm in. Clueless and hurt by the situation. I tried to come towards him.
Hug him, and tell me that everything's fine, i don't need to worry about anything.
But no.
When i tried to move, my body screamed help as the Dark magic becomes worser each step i take. My eyes glued at him, i didn't waver. I screamed at him and tried to get him to look at me.
But it was no use.
I didn't notice the blood that surrounded me in the water because i tried to reach him. My body was bruised all over as i see the dark rope that was pulling me towards the stone, towards Syrena,
"Stop fighting Christal, it'll hurt more if you resist to come this way!" Syrena shouts.
Still, my eyes didn't leave him.
"This is nothing." I growled. "My MATE not looking at me and telling me what the fuck i going on,. Hurts more." I cried.
Yet he didn't turn around or even took a glance, he just walked off. My heart tearing into a million pieces. My vision went blurry and my hearing was blocked. All i could feel was the tears that was falling from my eyes.
"COME BACK HERE ARSEHOLE!" I managed to shout out, even though he heard it. He chose to ignore it.
"Come back.."
Why?
"Please.."
~•~
What's happening? Someone.. tell me what's happening.
Here i am.
My hands on steel handcuffs, in a place where they told me i was in Maria. I chucked bitterly, so this was that, i thought he was cheating on me. Funny.
It's funny how everything was a lie.
SYRENA's POV
I couldn't take myself to look at her. My heart throbbing in pain and pity for the werewolf that was seating at a corner with dead eyes. She's been like that ever since she stopped shouting for the Alpha King to tell him what's happening.
She doesn't even notice my presence.
"Christal.." i called out.
No answer.
"Christal.. hey. You have to take your meals." I slowly come towards her.
But she didn't move, nor blinked.
Her bruises were all cured because of her regeneration ability but you can see how hurt she is right now. How confused she is at the situation right now.
I sat just meters from her.
"I'm sorry-"
"BULLSHIT. Don't talk to me." She says. "You all DISGUST me." Her eyes still empty.
I gulped, my tears threatening to fall. I swallowed my sadness and continued to talk to her, trying not to agitate her too much. "We're trying to cure you, believe me when i say this."
She laughs. "Cure me for what?!"
"There is something inside you that needs to be taken out."
"But why?" She looks at me for the first time, i almost choked out when i saw how tired was she, her eyes puffy and still red from crying continuously. "Why do you have to chain me!" She wiggles her handcuffs.
"You won't understand now."
"HOW CAN I IF YOU WON'T FUCKING TELL ME!"
"Calm down-"
As i was expecting, she broke the handcuffs too easily and pinned me down quick, her hands choking me. She glared towards me while she was on top of me. "The r-reason i haven't escaped until now is because of him. I haven't killed all of you because of him!"
I looked at her.
This was her.. she was born like this. A personality as scary as a hulk on rampage but her soul weak like a thin glass. Sensitive, easily broken werewolf i'm staring at right now. This was all too much for her.
Even without her past.
The reason why the Alpha King agreed for us to take the witch out of her was because it was slowly taking her life force away. It was eating her time, that's why we need to take it out. But doing so, we'll be destroying the Memoriae. And she'll remember everything.
She'll be hurt again, run away.
But this time she loved the Alpha King, i wonder.. who would she choose?
"Where is he? WHERE?!"
"I won't tell you. This cage is especially made for you. Any power that you use will active the room to restrain you, ropes will come out and weaken you again. Or let you sleep. We will do the ritual days from now. You need plenty of rest."
She didn't even listened to what i said. Because the moment her eyes turned red, dark magic filled the room and restrained her piece by piece. Her hands, and legs tied in a dark rope from the wall.
Blood dripped from her body. Yet her eyes remained red, she was increasing her power.
"Stop." I pleaded.
She smiled at me, i closed my eyes when she coughed blood. Does she want to die? To be honest, she could get out of here if she wanted to. But she was only increasing her power, not using it.
She's hurt.
"You left me with no choice." I sighed, i raised my palm and stopped the restraints.
Her eyes went back to its original dead eyes and she fell hard on the ground, he hair sprawled all over the place. She took quick breaths, yet she didn't speak. She just stared at the ground once again.
"Christal.. this is whats best for you."
But not for him, he'll be hated.. again.
She didn't speak nor glance at me as i left the room with my eyes closed. I hope she'll understand in the future. Why the Alpha King chose this choice even if it doesn't favor him.
KIEL's POV
"Don't you want to save her?" A voice in the trees says.
I was on my way to Delta to manage some business when i felt a presence following me just meters behind me. When i tried to assault him to come out, he didn't listen. I should be fone fighting a guy like him if it wasn't for the emotions i'm feeling right now.
I remember the day when we retained luna. She shouted for help, but no one came. Not even her mate. I.. wanted to save her so bad. There's something in me that wants her safe, maybe it's because i'm her guard.
Is it? I don't know.
My eyes stared at the ground. "Her?"
"Yes. The girl you protect."
"The.. girl i protect?" I questioned myself. Everything comes back to me.
Our memories together, her prank and everything about her. I felt a pang of guilt on my heart. I placed my palm on my heart and whimpered lowly, he's right. I wanted to save her.
But if i do, i would be going against the Alpha King.
I.. just don't understand our king anymore. Why is he treating her like this? Isn't mates supposed to be not hurting each other? His actions made me waver my loyalty to redbloodmoon.
And because of her, my thoughts are wavering.
"I cannot protect her. I don't have the right to protect her." I frowned.
"Why do you say that?"
Why?
Why am i still here?
Shouldn't i be saving her? Our Luna? It's been days that she's been held in Maria. She must be exhausted and physically hurt. A part of me tells me to stop worrying. But how can i not?
I think i'm having feelings that shouldn't be there.
"I'll help you."
My eyes couldn't believe when he came out from the shadows. But the worst part of it, i nodded.
