Chapter 22

After a few days, Lumae was already bored out of her mind. Everywhere she went, someone followed, and she'd somehow even roamed the entire mansion. She had nothing to do and no one to talk to.

Finally, being fed up with the boredom, she sighed, "You know what, I'm going to Moonshaddow, there are still some of Dominic's people there, and I'll at least have some company." She then started storming towards her room packing her things quickly whilst a group of people follow her, trying to convince her otherwise, but she didn't care, she continued to pack.

After she finally had all her things in order, she turned towards the group, "Dominic said that I'm in charge of his presence, so I'm taking charge and going out for a bit. I can't stay cooped up here forever and none of you are gonna stop me, got that?" The group shared worried glances as one of them just cautiously replied with a, "Yes ma'am."

"Thank you. Now, if you're worried that you might get in trouble for leaving me alone, you can make up a small group of five people to travel with me. I won't allow any more than that."

The group then nodded at each other and a group of five people formed in less than five seconds. "Alright, then it's settled then, one of you drive with me, the rest can tail me." She then headed to the rimac nevera swiftly and headed off to Moonshaddow.

Meanwhile, Dominic was busy fighting off a small group of the mafia group that has been causing trouble, the Meurdes. As he fought, a familiar scent roamed the air, a scent he smelled when helping the Noir pack. He smelled the rogue pack, all over the group they were fighting, and he started thinking that the file Jurian gave him was right. That the rogue pack might just have something to do with the Meurdes. He knew that if they did have something to do with each other, that it was all much, much worse than he originally expected.

His group easily fought off the last few people, since they weren't really too strong. "Come on guys, pack your things. We're going home. We need to make a new plan." The entire group didn't even hesitate to grab their things and jumped into the car.

When Dominic finally reached the mansion, he entered with a big smile. "Where's my beautiful lady?" Everyone in the house exchanged worried glances again.

"Well? Why are all of you so quiet?"

One person then stepped forwards to answer Dominic. "Sir, we couldn't stop her. She said she was going back to Moonshaddow since you still have some of your people there and took five of our group with her."

Dominic's face dropped extremely fast. "Don't joke with me right now!"

"W-We're not sir." Everyone's eyes were on the floor. No one dared to look at Dominic. He then gave a frustrated sigh, grabbed the nearest car keys and aped to catch up to Lumae. Hoping that nothing bad will happen to her.

Lumar had finally reached Moonshaddow, but this time, she tried to avoid Grandpa Will, so that the people with her wouldn't be a shock to him. Instead she went to Samantha's grave with a meticulous plan. When she reached it and the group of people noticed that it was a grave, Lumae kneeled down on her knees and looked over her shoulder, lifting her hand and swishing her finger to tell them to turn around, and they did to give her some privacy.

Lumae then snuck through the bushes, quickly transforming, so they wouldn't notice her and headed off towards the Tenebris pack, where she was first met with a kind, warm welcome from Sera. She was so happy to finally see a face that she knew, that she couldn't help but give Sera a huge embrace.

At first, Sera didn't know if she couldn't hug Lumae back and just stood there with her arms at her side. "What're you doing Sera? Don't you want to hug me? Or do you need to ask permission to do that?" Sera smiled and wrapped her arms around Lumae.

"I don't know why I'm blessed with such an embrace from the Luna, but it sure does make me feel happy." Lumae smiled, but her smile dropped when she noticed a woman with pitch black hair, green eyes, a few wrinkles, but still very beautiful, in a long red dress, staring at her.

"Sera, who's that? I don't think I've seen her here before."

Sera looked extremely worried for a second, "T-That's lady Victoria Mortez, the aunt of our alpha and one of the fiercest, most brutal killers of the pack, it is said that she was the one who invented the gas that killed half of the White Moon pack and that she's the reason why we were able to defeat them in the first place. She could apparently spot the White Moons from miles away, and she didn't even need their scent."
Lumae quickly looked at Sera, now worried that she might have made the wrong choice. That she should've just stayed in the mansion and waited for Dominic. She grabbed Sera by her shoulders firmly and worriedly, "Sera, I need to get out of here. NOW."

"W-What, why so suddenly? What's happened?"

Lumae let go of Sera's shoulders and now grabbed her hands, "I'll explain later, let's just go to the Casablanca quarters quickly."

The two of them sprinted through everyone and headed straight to the Casablanca quarters. When they were inside, Lumae immediately went to the first window she could find and closed the curtains, "The curtains, quick!" Sera sprung into action and helped Lumae cover the windows.

"Luna, what's going on?"

Lumae grabbed Sera's shoulders again and led her to the middle of the room, where someone from outside was least likely to hear anything. "Sera, you have to promise not to tell anyone. Promise me." Lumae had a look of fear and worry in her eyes.

"Yes, of course, Luna. I won't tell a soul even if I'm tortured to death." Lumae sighed out of relief.

"Well, please don't get tortured because of me, but thank you. So... I... Well... I'm the last of the White Moon pack. As you know, my name is Lumae Moonshaddow, but I recently discovered that my deceased mother was the wife of Raymond Nocte, who managed to give birth to me in the town of Moonshaddow, hence my surname."

Sera was completely shocked, "Lumae...ugh, Luna. If that is true, you can't be anywhere near here. Lady Victoria would surely have recognised you by now, which means you're in great danger. We need to find a way out of here. Ooo, the back door, quickly!" Just as they were heading to the backdoor. There was a chilly, murderous knock on the front door, stopping both Lumae and Sera to stop in their tracks, not daring to take another step looking at each other worriedly.
