Book 2 Chapter 6

 

I woke up, momentarily panicking when I woke up in an unfamiliar room, until I recalled the events of the previous day.

Suddenly, three loud knocks on the door shook the whole bedroom.

Frightened, I didn't make a sound, until I heard a vaguely familiar voice call out, "Luna? Are you safe?"

Confused, I responded back, "Umm... Yes?"

The same voice replied after a moment. "Okay, just checking." I could faintly hear his steps as he walked away from the door. What was that about?

I put on one of Thane's shirts and a pair of his sweatpants, rolling the waistband and ankle cuffs a few times until I wasn't swimming in them. Thane has said he would buy me anything I needed for his territory, but until then, I was stuck in his huge loungewear. I wondered where he put my grandmother.

Now technically dressed, I left Thane's room, where I ran right into a wall. Nay, a human.

"Oof," I instinctively brought my hand up to my forehead, which collided with the brutish man in front of me.

"Jesus, are you okay?" The muscular man asked, concern etched on his face.

"My name is Nyx, not Jesus," I said, slightly dazed.

The man stared at me in a mixture of confusion and bewilderment. "I— What?"

"It's a joke, Hulk," I smiled, the disorientation wearing off slightly.

Hulk frowned. "What did you just call me?"

Now it was my turn to frown. "Hulk. AKA Bruce Banner. From the Marvel comics and cinematic universe?"

If he wasn't already confused, now he looked like the epitome of it. "How hard did you hit your head?"

I sighed heavily. Uncultured swine, err dog. "Forget it. Anyways, who are you and why are you standing outside of Thane's room?"

The man straightened up. "I am Leo, Beta of Blue Moon. I was in the search party with Thane when he found you."

I frowned as I recalled him, specifically, recalled him asking if Thane should kill Greyson and me. "You asked if you should kill me."
