His Blue Moon Princess
Chapter 88

The blood suddenly splashes on my face, before I even realize what's going on. I just heard a bang, and Damian stopped running. He's just in front of me, but I see the black wolf stumble and fall on his flank. Damian! Another gunshot is heard, but I couldn't care less. All I see is my mate, lying on the ground with blood flowing from a hole in his chest. I run to his side, unable to think of anything else. Damian is injured! Damian! Damian!

I keep calling his name, my wolf howling after her mate, but he is barely moving. Oh Moon Goddess, no, no, no, not him, not Damian... I try to look for the bullet's location, and shape-shift to use my fingers. His jet-black fur is getting all sticky from so much blood, no, no... It can't be. I finally hear him breathing, but it's faint and erratic. Thank Moon Goddess, he's still alive, but the blood is still pouring out.

"HELP! NATE! LIAM!"

I mind-link anyone I can, I don't care who I reach or not. My mind is so confused right now, I can't even understand what's going on around me. We're in the middle of a mist of ashes, with smells of fire and blood all around. Those who haven't run away are busy fighting, nobody has time to pay attention to an injured wolf.

I suddenly remember the blue butterfly, mine, and catch it with my shaking hands. Sylviana! Maybe she can help him! I leave it on Damian's body, not knowing what else to do. Can she find him this way? Can Sylviana help him?

I realize I'm crying, but Moon Goddess, who wouldn't? My fingers are still in my mate's fur, I'm not leaving him. I've never felt so helpless! Suddenly, something grabs my wrist, pulling me with sharp pain, and another gunshot is heard. Nora! Don't stay there!

Bobo! It's Bobo, who just grabbed my wrist between his fangs.

"Bobo! Bobo, Damian's injured, we have to-!"

Someone is shooting at you! Don't stay there!

"But Damien, he..."

Nora, you have to move!

I fight him off. I don't want to leave Damian alone! He will die if I leave him! But Bobo is not letting go of my wrist, even as I start bleeding, and keeps pulling me away with him. I don't want to leave him!

Another gunshot! Bobo whimpers suddenly and lets go of my wrist.

"Bobo!"

I see red blood running down his head, all over his brown fur. Oh Moon Goddess, not Bobo, too!

I'm fine! It just grazed me. But Nora, you have to move, you're the target!

What? I look around, but I can't see who is firing at us. I look at Damian's body. Moon Goddess, I don't want to leave him, but if I'm the one they are shooting at... I stumble to get up, trying to find my senses. Tears are pouring down my cheeks. Damian, Bobo.... I see him stumble to walk to Damian's side. He is really injured; a trail of blood is following him.

"Bobo..."

Nora, just get away from here!

I nod, and turn around to run away. My heart is heavier and heavier. Moon Goddess, I don't want to leave them... I can't even breathe, my crying and running are making a mess of me, but I can't stop, either. Damian, Damian, please, someone save him...

I have no idea where I'm headed, but I don't slow down. Suddenly, I trip over something. It's a body... Taaron King! The Alpha is in such a bad state, I can't bear to look. I don't know who killed him, but I can't stop. I get back up and start running once more. I try looking for a familiar face, anyone who can help me. Where is Liam, where is Nate? The gunshots have stopped. I run into someone, and some unknown wolf attacks me. A grey shadow, and his fangs suddenly grasp my leg. I let out a cry of pain, but the pressure's suddenly gone.

"Nora!"

I turn around. William! I grab my cousin's collar and start screaming everything my lungs have left.

"William, Damian's hurt! He's hurt! Someone was shooting at us, and he... he got in between, he... He was losing blood, a lot of blood! William, please, you have to help him! I beg you, please!"

My cousin puts his hands on my face, looking horrified. "Nora, you're injured, you-"

"I don't care! Just help Damian, please, William! Please!"

He hesitates, but I'm just begging and crying like crazy. He quickly nods, and suddenly turns around while taking off his jacket, looking for someone. "David! Nicki! Pierce! ... Lara!" He calls around.

He puts his jacket on my shoulders, and two wolves suddenly emerge from the black smoke. William pushes me toward them, but I ignore him. "William, Damian, Damian he-"

"Nora, I swear I'll go find him, but you have to get away from here! Stay with David and Lara, they'll escort you out! Okay?"

I can only nod, a bit numb to whatever he's saying. But his words and Bobo's resonate in my head, and I get it. Get out of here. Run away. Gosh, my wolf is begging me to go back to Damian, and I want to listen to her so, so badly. The only thing I'm scared of right now is my mate. I don't care about the explosions around us, the raging battle between all werewolves, or the corpses we run across.

The two wolves run in front of me, and I follow them like I'm in some nightmare. My legs are going numb, but I just can't stop. My heart stayed behind, where Damian was lying. I can't believe this is happening...

The stadium is invaded by smoke, and fires started at all the explosion locations. Ashes are flying all around us, so much I have no idea where we are headed. I just follow the duo blindly through the chaos.

Suddenly, a new gunshot bursts. The wolf that was running next to me stops running mid-air and rolls on the ground. Moon Goddess! Her head is covered in blood. She's dead. I gasp, and the other wolf turns around, facing a silhouette running towards us. Luna, get back! You-

Another bang and he falls down like a dead weight. I scream in horror. Moon Goddess, they are both... I turn around, trying to look for the culprit. Who did this? Who shot them? "Nora, Nora..."

A chill runs down my spine. That voice... Oh Moon Goddess, no, no, not him, not now... I start running in the opposite direction. My legs take full speed, and I shapeshift in the middle of it without slowing down. My wolf takes over, and she's braver than me. Fear doesn't stop her; she keeps running as fast and as far as she can.

Why is he here? How the hell did he get here?! This nightmare is getting worst by the minute. I can hear him running behind me. Can I outrun him? Can I? I have to! "What the...? Nora?"

I turn my head, and I suddenly bump into someone at full speed. I fall on him, but he helps me up right away.

"Nora? Moon Goddess, you're covered in blood! Who's-?"

Run!

"What?"

He's here! He-

Another gunshot and Vince's eyes suddenly go blank. I scream. He falls on his knees like some puppet. Moon Goddess, Vince! I can't stop looking at the Jade Moon Alpha's corpse, lying at my feet. I don't even know when I shape-shifted back to my human form. A loud crying echoes in my ears, making me go insane. Moon Goddess, please make it stop...

A flash of pain suddenly tears my leg apart. I scream again, from the pain this time. I barely heard the gunshot. I fall, the pain bursting through my whole body. I suffocate. The bullet's silver is killing me, making my whole body spasm. I try to gasp for air, but a slap across my face throws me down.

"Finally! Finally, I can give you what you deserve, you little w***e!"

His voice disgusts me the most, despite whatever else I'm going through. I spit some blood and raise my eyes to look at him, ignoring the pain.

Marcus.

He's disfigured by horrifying bite scars, and his face shrank. He looks like a monster, sweating and breathing hard like some savage. He steps closer, and I struggle to get away. My leg is so painful, my whole lower body is numb from the pain. I try to push with my arms, but my desperate efforts are useless. I can only grab a few meters before he catches me. I suddenly scream in pain. He's deliberately stomping on my injured leg! "How pathetic you look... Look at you. A Luna? A Royal? You're just a little s**t, crawling in dirt..."

I have to get away. He's pointing this g*n at me, but my arms are moving on their own. My instincts act before I think- my wolf knows we have to. My leg is a whirl of pain.... Like ice running through my veins, paralyzing me.

"You should have seen all this coming, Nora. Running away from me? Hiding in Black's shadow? Did he have fun with you? Did you become his b***h?!"

This tongue of his is spilling words like poison. I don't want to hear Damian's name in his filthy mouth! Another gunshot bursts through the air and I stop moving. He shot a hole right in front of me.

"No bodyguard, no Black left to protect you, Nora... Do you have any idea what I'm going to do to you?"

"Don't... f*****g touch me," I growl.

He laughs, like the insane monster he is. All of a sudden, I feel a violent pain in my stomach, and his foot kicks me again. I lose my breath.

His hand brutally grabs my hair, and I try fighting him off. He starts dragging me around, my b****y leg leaving a trail behind me. Moon Goddess, it hurts! I feel my body going numb again, losing strength. "What the...? Let her go!"

Nate's voice. Yelling. Growling. Gunshots.

I try to open my eyes. A body on the ground is getting further from me. I see light blue eyes closing, and I lose to consciousness...
