Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 146: Moonlit Dreams

*Ciana*

I was fading into and out of consciousness, moving between my dreams and reality.

The first thing I noticed was that wherever I was, it did not smell like my room. Instead, it smelled of old wood and musk.

Hushed voices reached my ear.

"This is stupid. There is no telling if this will even work." The first voice was female. “What if the rumors aren't true? She will know exactly who we are within seconds."

“Don't be such a pessimist, Jennifer. The rumors are true. She went back home. Why else would she be back in her home pack and not at the palace?" another female voice replied.

There was silence for a few moments.

“I still think this is a dumb idea. We could die once they find out. Let's just kill her and be done with it."

“We can't kill her!" The softer female voice exclaimed. "Those were not Luther's instructions."

"Is Luther here? No. Why? Because of her!"

'Keep it down, Jennifer! Do you want to wake her? She will be confused and disoriented when she wakes up. We need her to trust us."

"Magnolia, I could give two shits about this girl. She is vulnerable and weak right now. All I need to do is take one clean swipe and this will all be over with. Just let me do it."

The Jennifer woman sounded very angry.

“No. You will not touch her. She is our Luna!"

Jennifer scoffed.

'You loved Luther and this is the best way to avenge him. We all miss him, Jen. But you can't be reckless. We need to be careful how we proceed from now on. Okay?"

There was silence again. I heard some shuffling but I didn't open my eyes.

Who were these women and what did they want with me?

"I think she's waking up. I heard the change in her heartbeat." The voice I now knew to belong to Magnolia said. "Luna Ciana? Are you awake?'

Slowly I blinked my eyes open and stared up at an old white ceiling. The paint was peeling and there were cracks in the corners. Slowly I turned to my left and saw two women standing not too far from the small couch I had been placed on. One looked at me with concern and the other looked at me with disdain and hatred.

I quickly sat up with my eyes scanning the room. The wooden floors were rotting and the white walls were stained with various liquids, one of which I was sure was blood. The place looked more like a crime scene than a living room to me.

I was sure I had never been here before but there was a sense of familiarity about it that I just couldn't shake. The air in this room smelled familiar and even felt familiar. Darn those lost memories!

Flashes of me walking down a pristine white marble hallway came to mind. But as quickly as the memory came it fled from me. I held onto the side of my temple and groaned as the dull ache in my head started.

"Luna, are you okay?" One of the women came to the couch and knelt before me. "We aren't going to hurt you. You are safe here.”

I moved away from her to one side of the couch. “Who are you?" I demanded.

"My name is Magnolia and this is Jennifer." She pointed to the woman who still looked like she wanted to kill me. "We are your friends. Do you not remember us?"

I shook my head. "What kind of friends take someone from their home?"
