I wake up my wolf still not coming through, I don’t remember much about what happened this morning, I remember drinking something and then just passing out on Rudy’s lap, I was reading a book that jazz gave me, when Rudy walks through the door smiling.
“How are you feeling today?” He smiles sitting next to me on my bed, I smile placing the book down.
“I’m fine but my wolf still isn’t talking to me,” I say, he sighs wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
“She’ll come through soon, just give her time,” he says as someone else walks into the room, it was actually Rudy’s father, Rudy goes to move away from me but his dad stops him.
“Don’t get up on my account, everyone was wondering when you’ll take your first look around the village Savannah” he smiles, I take a look up at Rudy he smiles a little nodding
“Rudy will be with you the whole time don’t worry,” his dad says which makes Rudy’s face light up, like he had an idea, he immediately takes my hand standing me up.
“My fathers right Savannah you need some fresh air, I’ll show you around this place is amazing,” Rudy says walking me out the bedroom, his dad following us out the house.
We walk away a bit Rudy pulling me closer to him talking quietly.
“Just follow my lead, I have an idea to get you out this place,” he says, I nod looking up at him “trust me,” he says as he wraps his arm around my shoulders pulling me into him.
At first, I was shocked but he said I should trust him, so I did and hope whatever plan he had works.
We were out for a few hours, I met lots of people Rudy didn’t leave my side the whole time, everyone gave us the eye and smiled towards Rudy like they knew something that I didn’t. I brush it off as we get back to the house? where Max was having a screaming contest with Rudy’s dad, when we entered the house they stopped.
“How was your walk around the village?” His dad asks me, I take a look to Rudy where he gives me a look saying play along.
“It was great, Rudy showed me all the beautiful places and the people are incredibly nice” I smile, but I look back at Max who looked beyond angry “are you okay Max?” I ask looking behind Rudy’s father to look at him.
Rudy’s dad looks back at Max giving him a look that he didn’t think I saw, Max walks over placing a kiss on my head.
“I’m fine Savannah,” he says before he walks out the house closing the door behind him, just proving to me that he really wasn’t okay.
“I know you two don’t wanna be apart, but I need to speak to Rudy privately, only for a few minutes so don’t worry you won’t be apart for very long,” his father says, Rudy and I both look at each other, I didn’t like where this was going.
“Don’t worry Savannah I won’t be long, just wait in your bedroom and I’ll be up in a minute?” Rudy says also kissing my head, but it was directly where Max did, what’s with everyone kissing me on the head?
I nod making my way up to my bedroom feeling both of their eyes following me up the stairs, once I get in I see Max angrily walking around outside. I go to the window to see him push over a pile of wood making it go everywhere, people run over picking the wood up as Rudy’s father walks up grabbing Max by the arm pulling away, what the heck is going on here?
Rudy walks through the door pulling me away from the window, he looks out quickly scanning where everyone was.
“Okay we don’t have much time so we have to be quick, you have to fake marry me,” he says, which makes me just stare at him confused “I know how crazy that sounds but it’s what happens here, obviously we’re not actually gonna get married but we have to make everyone believe we are,” he says, I look out the window to see people starting to look up at us, okay this is so confusing.
“I don’t understand,” I say, but he cuts me off before I could finish.
“That’s what my father was downstairs talking to me about, the day of our ‘wedding’ is actually the day I’m breaking you out of here, but for now just act like we’re actually gonna get married,” he says, pulling a little box out of his pocket getting down on one knee, this is something I’ve pictured Ryan doing recently, but not Rudy!
“Just trust me, okay this is part of the plan, just act happy,” he says opening the box to reveal a ring, I do what he says and put my hand to my mouth.
I fake cry nodding, Rudy stands picking me up spinning me around as cheers and claps could be heard from outside, he places the ring on my finger.
“It won’t be for long, you have to act just for a few weeks I promise,” he says opening the window where people were, “she says yes!” He shouts making them cheer even louder.
Wow I didn’t think I’d be getting engaged when I woke up this morning.
