Chapter 58

When the light fades, we look back down the hall. The Luna is standing there looking into the room with a slight purple glow around her now. Her scent is gone, so is our pack link. It doesn't hurt, it's just kind of like a light switch being turned off inside me. I feel so...empty without it. It makes me uncomfortable. It's like she's a hollow shell of the Luna standing down there.

Marco takes a step toward her before he stops short and turns around. He's got a weird look in his eye. I can practically feel him becoming more protective of all of US. He points to Beta Lenora.

"Beta, please get that child upstairs. She shouldn't be here for this. Call in a Code Violet to Carly. Call the Elder Council. I'm going to check on Kas until you get back," Marco orders Beta Lenora. He turns to me, "Tyree, get that asshole in a cell and meet me at the end of the hall. The Luna has the keys when we're ready to get him out.”

Look at the big man, taking charge instead of taking orders. I'm not used to seeing it but it suits him.

I grab the Elder and push him into the closest cell. I use my foot to close the door so I won't get burned by the silver. When I'm sure I locked him in, watch for a moment while this guy cries and blubbers for mercy before jogging down the hall to where Marco is.

I take a quick look into the room Marco pulled the little girl out of. I wish I hadn't. It is the most grotesque thing I've ever seen. How could that even happen to someone? And that little girl witnessed it? I still don't understand why she thought the Luna did it, but it doesn't matter right now.

Marco is on one knee, doing his best to not touch the Luna, like the Alpha has ordered. His hands hovering just above her wrists, like it's taking everything he has to not grab her by the arms.

"Come on, Kas. Snap out of it. If you can hear me, come over to where my voice is. Please come back," he begs, looking into her glassy eyes.

I know the Luna, Marco, and James have been through a lot together in the past couple years. She and Marco have especially become close friends.

Right now, watching him desperately trying to wake her up out of this trance, you can see she is more than an assignment to him. More than his Luna who he respects. He is scared for his friend. He wants to be able to help her.

I step forward, "Marco, just touch her, man. I know we're not supposed to but the Alpha ain't here and it will take at least six hours for him to get here."
