"I cant believe they're letting you take all that land for training they're  warriors." I say to Luca as we walk back to our hotel that we are staying in.

"Yeah well, he also owed me, I basically saved him and his mate so I held that over him." Luca smirks earning a pinch for Anna.

I roll my eyes.

"Lucy, where did you get that dress? It looks amazing on you." Anna says eyeing me up and down.

I flip my hair.

"I bought it from old navy back home orignally as a shirt to sleep in, I thought it was cute. Nothing special." I say shrugging after.

"Well you definitely are a Milf." She says winking earning a growl from Bentley.

I turn pink with embarrassment as we enter the hotel.

"Cousin, want to have some beers at the bar in an hour?" Luca asks slapping Bentleys back.

"I'm goid, I'm just going to stay with Lucy." He says.

"Babe, you don't have to be with me at all times. Go have some drinks with Luca. " I say rubbing his back.

"Are you sure?" He asks looking in my eyes.

I nod.

"I'll be with her if that makes you feel better. So will Zalina we'll all just have a little girls night." Anna says slinging her arm around.

"I guess a drink or two wouldn't hurt."

▫  ▫  ▫

"So, Pretty Woman or Bridesmaids?" Anna asks looking at me.

We're currently in the living room of me and Bentleys hotel room.

We've painted our nails, I let Anna do my make up and hair, and we even took those quizzes from those teen magazines.

We invited Zalina to hang with us, but she said she wasn't really up for it. But I keep checking on her seeing if she'll change her mind.

"Definitely Bridesmaids," I reply back to Anna.

"I'm going to ask Zalina if she wants to watch with us." I say sitting up.

"Luce, relax. You've asked the girl about ten times to come hang with us. She obviously wants to be left alone." Anna says putting the movie disc in.

"I know, but I feel bad sort of." I say.

"Well how about I ask. You stay. You shouldn't be on your feet anyways." She says before walking out to Zalina's door across from us.

A few moments later Anna returns walking back to sit next to me.

"She said no but thanks for offering, she also said that she needs to give you something, she'll be over in a second."

I nod.

About five minutes later, there's a knock on the door.

Anna shouts for who were guess is Zalina to come in.

Zalina walks in with a little medic bag.

"Sorry to bother you Luna Lucy and Luna Anna, but I'm required to give you a vaccination to prevent any disease, flu, or type of sickness." She says shakily.

I nod, sitting up.

"Should we call for Bentley? " Anna asks.

"No, let him have his gin. It's just a little shot. Harmless." I reply waving her off.

I give Zalina my arm as she cleans the skin with an alcohol pad.

"It will make you a little dizz so make sure to lay down for about an hour." Zalina says filling the syringe.

I look away as she sticks the needle into my arm. It's only hurts for a second before she puts a bandaid on it.

When she lets go I feel very dizzy.

"Woah, you weren't kidding." I say putting my fingers to my head.

She doesn't respond but just cleans up.

"I'll be back, I gotta pee." Anna says leaving us.

I rest my head on the pillows of the couch propping my feet up.

"So Zalina, what are your hobbies?" I ask closing my eyes so the room stops spinning.

"Hobbie?" She says with a hint of confusion in her voice.

I nod, my eyes still closed.

"I don't have time for hobbies Luna." She replies.

"Please, call me Lucy." I say opening my eyes giving her a friendly smile.

She smiles back.

"So there's nothing yo u like to do in your freetime? Listening to music, watching tv?"

She shakes her head no.

"I don't have t.v. back at my house nor do I have internet. I don't know if this is considered a hobbie but I like to be with in nature."

"Well I have the baby, me and you are going to go hiking or camping." I say giving her a smile.

She gives me a small smile and nods.

"So are they're any boys back home you have your eyes on?" I say giving her a smirk.

She actually lets out a laugh.

"My mother never let me out, so I never had much friends nor the less potential boy crushes." She says smiling.

"Well I think we should start hanging out more and getting you out, that the little wall will start to deteriorate and you'll start to have some fun." I say as my eyes to fall lazily.

"Luna?" I hear her ask.

"Lucy," I smirk.

"Sorry. Lucy what's it feel like to be wanted?"

My eyebrows knit together at this question.

I want her to elaborate on that, but my body feels numb and sleep consumes me.

🔮Zalina's POV🔮

"Its done."

"Didnt think you had it in you Zalina. Now the Luna's water should break by next week. Along with the insider from the pack, The Council is sending guards to escort you and the child to America. You are almost there Zalina, don't screw it up or you will not get your return." My mother says.

I nod, not replying.

"If i complete task I will get my freedom? No more ties to this family, to this world?" I ask to clarify.

"Your return, your reward. Yes."

"Okay mother, I'll get in contact when I get to America."

She doesn't reply but hangs up.

I walk into the bathroom connected to my room.

I look at me reflection in the mirror to see my eyes have dulled to a darker shade of violet, no longer the bright lilac they usually are.

I am not myself.

But in order to get my freedom from this cruel world I was brought into, to start out fresh no ties to magic, the supernatural I need to complete this task.

Bring honor to my family who could care less if I'm breathing or not.

I knew from the moment Mother agreed to give me this mission, it had no happy ending.

But one way or another I'll be free.
