Chapter seventy five

**** Chapter fourteen of Rogue to Luna



Lucy's POV

Asher stands at the door, needing to tell us something before the ceremony. "We have a traitor amongst us. Someone gave the Red Claw Pack our patrol schedules to allow Maya and
Mark beat Lucy. Keep your eyes out for anything suspicious."

We nod our heads, shaken. How could someone betray us? Is it Someone close to us?

Try not to think about it, tonight will go great!" Asher tries to encourage us but now we are all on edge. I grab Asa's hand with a light squeeze, reassuring him.
He looks at me and gives me a tight smile before we head down the stairs. We walk into the packed kitchen and see it all dressed up for Asa's birthday, but most of the decorations are outside.
Heading outside, we see balloons everywhere and the whole backyard full of pack members.

There is a large cake in the middle of all the tables of food. I look over to Asa and see a large smile on his face.

Ella walked up to us, with a big smile, "Do you like it? We all worked hard on it!"

Asa relaxes and hugs his mom, kissing her cheek. "Yes, I love it! It's amazing."

Being too stressed to talk with everyone near me, I just nod my head, agreeing.

The ceremony happens first, and then we get to enjoy a big dinner!

I have to be on the stage with Asa, in front of the whole pack.
All of Asa's close friends are on stage, in their respective positions.

Miller is on the far side, next is Cory, and next to me are Eden and Ava. As I walk by to get to my spot,
I smile at everyone. Everyone smiles back but Miller looks quite nervous. I wonder why?

Standing beside Ass, he takes hold of my hand. He turns my way and mind links me, "You got this, I'm here with you."

I nod and send back, "I love you."
"I love you too," he responds, adoration dripping from his voice.

Asher starts the ceremony.
"Hello, Royal Eclipse Pack. Today we are here to pass down the power of Alpha to my son. He is also turning eighteen, we believe he is mature enough to take the title. Asa, will you please stand before me."

Asa lets go of my hand to stand in front of Asher. He has already explained how the ceremony will work, so Asher knows what to do.

The one problem is that while the power is transferring, Asher will be weaker than usual. This must be Asa letting go of my hand to stand in front of Asher. He has already explained how the ceremony will work, so Asa knows what to do.
The one problem is that while the
power is transferring, Asa will be weaker than usual. This must be why Miller is nervous.

Asher and Asa clasp forearms, and Asher says, "I, Asher Lucas, renounce my position as Alpha, and pass it down to you, Asa Lucas."

"I accept the position of Alpha," Asher says, full of pride. The power between them transfers, when all of a sudden I feel someone grabbing me from behind and putting something sharp to my neck.
I hear a familiar voice yell,

"Nobody moves!"


Lucy's POV

The familiar voice yells, once again, "Nobody moves!"
The entire crowd gasps at who is threatening me. I haven't heard him talk much, but I would recognize that voice anywhere.

Miller.

Why is he betraying us? What did we do to him?
Asa, still weak from the power transfer, looks over with pain and sadness in his eyes. He also has a look of determination, a look that makes me believe I will make it through this.

All of a sudden, Red Claw Pack members rush into the backyard, our pack members preparing to fight. Even women who aren't
warriors are prepared to protect the young and those unable to fight.
I watch all this happen while shaking. My shaking causes the blade to slightly slice my neck, and I wince at the pain. Must be silver.

Miller throws me to the ground, then brings the knife back to my neck while I'm on my stomach. He pulls my head back by my hair, and pain erupts in my skull. And not the pleasurable kind I get with Asa.

Everyone is waiting to see who will make the first move, the Red Claw Pack warriors waiting to attack on Miller's signal.
Suddenly, I feel someone knock into Miller, getting him off balance. I almost cheer with joy before I remember the knife that was in his hand. The knife lightly scraped my neck, causing me to
bleed everywhere. It's not deep but it is a long cut.
I lay on the ground, applying pressure to my wound as I looked up to see who attacked Miller. I see Ava on top of him, punching his face. Ava, sensing my gaze, turns to me and gives me a charming smile.

Even while in pain, I smile back, proud of my best friend. With Miller down, the Red Claw Pack proceeds to attack, and the battle starts.

The women who aren't warriors, children, and those unable to fight all run to the safe room we have under the house. While they are running, our warriors all start attacking the charging Red Claw Pack.

Asa rushes over to my side, putting more pressure on my wound. Doctor Lana runs over as fast as she can, Ava still beating up Miller. Asa's parents are standing around us, protecting me. Eden is hovering over Ava, making sure she doesn't get hurt.
The battlefield is chaos, it's all I can focus on. I try not to think about the pain and blood running down my neck. I focus on the fighting and bloodshed.

My eyes start to droop, getting tired from blood loss. "My love, I need you to stay with me, please,"

Asa whispers weakly. I try to nod but the pain in my neck is too intense. Doctor Lana tries to patch me up to the best of her abilities with limited supplies, apparently always carrying gauze and tape in her pockets. Aiden
looks at her questioningly, silently asking why she has that stuff. She only responds with, "Don't ask."
Asa puts his hands up in surrender, before leaning down to pick me up when Doctor Lana is done with me.
He holds me close into his chest as he carries me to the safe room.
Warriors surround us and help as he carries me to the safe room.
Warriors surround us and help us make a path to lead us directly to safety. This pack is amazing.
I look at all the warriors gratefully, wondering how many of them will make it through this battle.
Hopefully, they all did.
We make it to the safe room, and Asa lays me on the medical cot that is in there. "Don't move, I must help protect the pack."
I whisper, "I physically can't move. Please stay."

Asa looks at me, tears leaking out of his eyes. "I wish I could, but as Alpha, I have to protect you and the rest of the pack. I know you're tired, go to sleep. I'll be here when you wake back up."
And with that, he leaves me all alone.
