Out Of The Shadows; Rise Of The Fierce Luna

Alyssa

One week later

"Congratulations on your finally discharge. Are you going to attend your sister's mating ceremony?" The attending assistant asked me.

I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat at her question.

I was a loner with no family, no pack now because my family threw me out!

And my so-called sister tried to kill me and even took my mate just like she stole my place in my family. She took everything from me.

My mate has also betrayede me.

They all just forgot about me and moved on with their life. They never really wanted me to be a part of them and they found the perfect opportunity to throw me away.

"I don't have a sister."

I told her and picked up my backpack heading out of the hospital.

I still don't know who saved me and paid for my treatment. The healing center is the biggest and most expensive in the whole country. Only elites. I will forever be thankful to whoever it was and I hope someday they will show themselves.

I lifted my head to the sky when the sun hit me. I felt empty but the sun felt good on my skin. I don't know what awaits me but I hope I can get back on my feet soon.

"Alyssa! Over here!"

I looked around at the sound of my name. I saw a car and some woman was waving at me from it. Even though I had no idea who it was, I still ran to the car. She called my name so she knows me.

"Get in!"

She let out when I got near the car but I didn't do as she told me.

"My name is Vera and I am Jace Carter's secretary and he asked me to come get you!"

My eyes widened at the name she mentioned.

Jace Carte? As in the Jace of Carter Group? The heir of the empire of the richest family in the country? The alpha of the biggest pack in the country? What would he want from me?

Or maybe it's another Jace Carter because Jace Carter won't even want to associate with me because six months ago, one of my older brothers hurt his sister badly so the old feud between our packs started again.

Oh wait, I am not part of that pack anymore. Still, it couldn't be that Jace, right?

"Who the fuck is Jace?"

I asked her and at first, she looked shocked that I didn't know. It's not that I don't know Jace Carter, it's that I wasn't sure it was the one I know.

"The Jace Carter of the Carter Group. Alpha of the Wildheart pack."

Wow, it's really him. Now it's my turn to be shocked. I just couldn't believe he would ask to see me.

"Get in and I will explain to you!"

She called out again and without thinking twice, I got into the car with her.

"My boss was the one who saved you from the fire and I was ordered to bring you to the Wildheart pack once you get discharged."

My jaw dropped at her words. Was it really Jace who saved me? It was hard to believe that a man like that would save me. Why? And an even more pressing question is why does he want me to go to his pack? We were nothing to each other and after the way he ignored me the one time we interacted and talked to my former sister instead and after what happened to his sister, I couldn't trust him.

"But he saved us."

My wolf whispered and she was right. He did save us so the least I could do is go and see him and at least thank him. I don't know what he wants from me now but I do know that I owe him a thank you and that's the only reason I agreed to go see him.

My eyes widened when the big gate opened and Vera drove into the Wildheart pack. From the entrance, you could tell that this is the most elite pack in the whole country.

It was greatly different from the pack I was banished from. The Dark Blood pack was nothing compared to Wildheart. Yet I wished so much to be welcomed in that pack that I gave them my all only for them to toss me away like trash.

"We have arrived."

We stopped in front of a door and she tapped it twice before pushing the door open.

"Sir, she is here."

She announced and just like that, my heart started beating in a not very normal way. I didn't think before but now that I am here, I realized that I wasn't ready to face Jace.

Did I forget to mention that the man is very intimidating? He has an aura that leaves everyone in the room grasping at straws.

"You have done well Vera, you can go home, I will take it from here."

His voice. Did I mention that he had the deepest, crispest voice ever? Yes, he has so many good traits and that is why he is the most wanted man in the country. I watched Vera walk away and had to hold back the urge to run after her and be gone from his sight.

"Take a seat."

My heart skipped a beat, my wolf blushed within me and my face turned every other shade except my natural skin tone. I swallowed and took a seat even though all I wanted to do was run away.

"I am glad to see that you are okay now. I wasn't very hopeful when I got you to the healing center. You are a fighter and very lucky."

I didn't know what I expected from him but this certainly wasn't it. Why is he being so soft-spoken towards me? It doesn't fit the daredevil, no-nonsense, vile person that I hear about from people who closely interact with him.

I forced a smile.

"Thank you for saving me. It's all thanks to you that I am here today."

I meant it because the man really saved my life. If not, I would have burnt to death and my body would have probably been left to rot in that warehouse because my supposed family doesn't give a fuck.

"You don't need to thank me."

He said and paused which left us in an awkward silence. My eyes wandered everywhere in the big office space as I tried to distract myself from the man in the room with me.

"You must be wondering why I wanted to see you?"

My heart skipped a beat when I realized he got up from his seat and was now seated not very far from me which wasn't good for my already abnormal nerves.

"Y-yes"

I stammered.

"I am not one to beat about the bush so I am going to tell you why you are here but before that, did Vera tell you that you will be living here?"

I nodded.

"She mentioned it but I am not sure why you would want me to live with you. I am not a member of your family nor am I a member of your pack."

I already owe him my life, I don't want to owe more when I am sure I can't pay back.

"Because, I want you to be my Luna."
