The Faults in Us (completed)

12~ Return

'Kendrick,' I greeted stiffly. He smirked. 

'Now come on, don't be like that. You're going to be my Luna after all,' he said. His silky voice gave me chills. I remembered it from my dreams, haunting me in my every thought. But finally, I could get some answers. 

'Kendrick. Why was I imprisoned? Who were my parents?' I asked, getting straight to the point. 

The smirk didn't leave his face. 'And why should I tell you what I know?'

'It's my life and my story. I deserve to know.'

'I'll tell you how to get all the answers you want. Come with me and become Luna peacefully. You're going to either way, but if you come without any resistance, count it as a bonus.' 

'Stop playing with me, Claw. Just tell me. And, I'm not being your Luna. Not now, not ever.' 

He kept looking at me with that amused expression as if I was a child who didn't understand what was going on. It annoyed me to no end. 

'And how do you plan to do that? Suicide?' 

I smirked evilly. 'You guessed it.' 

His eyes widened. I knew I got him. 

'That's it,' he breathed. He took a deep breath. 

'You can't stop me from killing myself, even if you take me,' I said, 'I'll find a way.' 

Ren, Ena said in my head, what are you doing? Are you serious? 

She sounded genuinely panicked. I laughed hard internally and it was hard to not give myself away. 

Of course not, idiot, I replied. I'm playing with him. I need answers. 

'So, what now? Answers? Or my death?' I asked. 'I'm sure Ena won't mind dying with me if you think the burden would be too much for her to bear.' 

He sighed. 'Fine,' he said, 'I'll give you your answers. What do you want to know?'

 'Is my real name Serena Montalouge?'

 'Yes.' 

'Who gave it to me?'

'My mother. You had no known name.' 

'I have been living with the pack as long as I can remember before I left. How did I get there?' 

'My father bought you here, I think,' he said, 'I don't know the exact details.' 

'Who were my parents? No, from which species exactly?' 

'I don't know,' he replied. 

I glared at him. 'How do you not know?' I asked angrily. 

'I was very young,' he said, 'my father was in charge of the raid. I hardly knew what was going on. He even burnt all the documents.'

I turned around angrily. Burnt the documents? Kendrick was useless? How else was I supposed to know what happened?!

'Your mother,' I said, with my back to him, 'Would she know?' 

'I don't know,' he said, 'she's never mentioned it to me. But... if you want to ask her...' 

I felt the evil smirk again. 

'You'll have to come to the pack.' 

I didn't turn around, still thinking. What should I do? I asked Ena. 

Suddenly, I felt like a wall slammed into me. I crumbled but I was held up by something. Ena was by my side in an instant, I could feel her. She seemed panicked.
