** Unedited. Not worrying about fixing anything in this chapter. **

This scene takes place after the van transport with Chase, Dr. Kim, and Nurse Smith. Luna didn't know where they were taking her.

These scenes are written in first-person point of view. All other versions of Tethered Souls was written in that writing style before being switched to third-person limited.

*Luna*

As I stretch my legs, I was met with someone's hand around my waist and their chin on my shoulder.

Not knowing what the hell was going on or who the hell it was, I jerked myself away and landed on the floor of the room I stayed in at Mera's house. I turned my gaze back to the bed and realized it was my husband.

Confused, I pulled myself back up and laid down beside him, curling against his body. Somehow we were back in the house, and I was away from Chase and that doctor.

Amir looked down at me, grinning wickedly. "Is everything okay with you, wifey?"

My gaze traveled over his beautiful face, lingering on the faint lines along his forehead. "I don't know. I was in a van with Chase, the nurse, and Dr. Kim. I feared of what would happen next. They know something about Liberty that I don't."

"It's okay, Moon. It's okay. You're safe with me, and our daughter. They won't find us."

I watched as his hand lingered on my arm and around the back of my neck. I took a deep breath and gazed up at him. "Chase had an elimination serum. He injected me with it, and I thought it had destroyed our connection."

"No, Moon, your husband is here. I am here to stay." I softly chuckled. "Did you think I would let you be hauled off in a van after we were discovered?"

"I woke up and was scared to death. What happened out there?"

"When I saw them load you into the back area, I sure as hell wasn't going to stay behind while they strapped you down. They shot me with a tranquilizer, but I still pushed myself to go after you. Faisal and I caught up to an abandoned car, found the keys, and chased your van down."
