I was awake but didn’t open my eyes.
“Alpha Kia, I assure you that she will be fine” I heard someone said.
The voice sounded so familiar.
Slowly, I opened my eyes to see their backs at me. The two backs below to Alaric and Emma and we were in a car.
They seem to be driving, really bad drivers for that matter because the car keeps going up and down.
“You know Rex won’t be happy if anything happens to his mate” Alpha Kia said.
From the direction of his voice, I knew my head was on his things. I forced myself not to stir or blink too much so I just closed my eyes back.
Memories of what happened flashed back to me, making me remember that my kids are taken and Alaric punched me in the face
‘Mate?’ I said.
Empty.
My mind link was empty as if there was something covering it. The car also has this weird smell, making me remember when I was at Brook’s place.
“How hard did you punch her, Alaric?” Emma asked.
Alaric didn’t say anything.
The car just Continued galloping for a few moments before taking a sharp turn to the left.
I nearly rolled off but Alpha Kia caught me and placed me back. His hand lingered around my face area as he fixed my hair and so on.
It took the grace of not wanting anyone dead not to bit his hand off.
“You both saw when I checked her. Alpha Kia, she is okay. I assure you that” Alaric finally replied.
I was okay.
My nose doesn’t hurt and I wondered why. Before, a punch like that have hurt me for an hour but this one seen strange.
The ride continue, it got to a point that I felt we would be riding to another planet of how far it was. Alaric and Emma talk about how each didn’t do their work well and how it almost got messed up.
Alaric was almost silent the whole time. It seem like it wasn’t much of his idea or he had a different reason doing it.
“If you had taken Mira out, Rex won’t have gotten that much on our tail and we lost 3 men!” Emma snapped.
Rex!
He fought for me.
I know he would get me, I believe he would not want his mate and kids taken.
Just like that!
“You believe I trust you enough?” Alaric said in a calm voice.
He didn’t seem stressed as he sounded before. The car took a sharp turn and again, I almost fell. My face bumped against Kia’s thighs and his held me tight. His fingers locked in my hair as he massaged in.
What the heck was he doing?
Irritated, I wanted to snap out before I heard Alaric’s calm voice.
“Your mate has no idea of how much of a witch you are, Emma” Alaric said “I can vouch that you even have her something worst! Since you did that stuff to Mira, why would Rain be different?”
Silence.
I slowly opened my eyes and since Kia wasn’t paying attention, I turned to see Emma glaring at Alaric.
The place was tough, pretty hot that I felt tvey would fight immediately but Kia cleared his throat.
“It’s not nice for you to keep yelling with a Luna in the same vehicle with you both”
I quickly closed my eyes.
“You are awake, I know.”
I got up in a sitting position, fixed my hair and rolled my eyes. Alaric turned back to look at me foe a few seconds and immediately tired not to meet my gaze. Emma had this sly smile on her face the whole while Kia looked at the road.
I looked around to see that we are driving towards the woods.
It seem like a forest but had drive way for cars. I assume it wasn’t the first time they drove pass here.
“I am Alpha Kia, we met at my daughter’s coronation and your kids are safe” Kia said.
I growled.
My kids!
I looked around, trying to know how to escape immediately I start my escape.
Escape?
I could escape but my kids won’t be able do that. I don’t even know what they had done to them but I knew that they where safe. I know that because I could feel them. I am their mother.
“My truck seem small but I lots of human and Lycan stuff” Kia said.
The moment he mentioned Lycan, I turned to look at him. He didn’t blink, he looked like he meant what he was saying and that freaked me out for a while.
No!
I have to be strong for my kids.
“I will not hurt you. Not for now”
I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
“You?” I asked.
He seem to be so sure of himself and that made it so funny.
“They way you carry yourself make me laugh, Kia” I told him.
I made sure his name lace my tongue with pure disgust, showing him how much I disrespected him.
“What do you think Rex would do when you kidnapped his mate?” I asked.
Slowly getting my courage, I sat well, crossed my ankles and folded my arms across my soft chest.
“I know you are scared that Rex would break you when he get you and I know he will get you”
Silence.
That wasn’t what I expected.
I wanted to vex Kia. I wanted to make him irritated, I wanted to know his response so I would use it against him but he was just silent.
I gulped.
I wanted to toy with my fingers but that would make me look intimidated.
“He is my mate! You should have ask well about why he did to Brook and…”
I paused as I heard him burst into laughter. It was dry, like he was forcing it.
I looked at his face to see that there was no single atom of humor or amusement. He seem like I had vexed him for real.
“Brook?” He asked.
He began to laugh again, tapping his thighs and laughing.
“She said Brook” He said looking at Emma and Alaric.
Emma giggled, like I had said something funny. Alaric didn’t say anything, he looked back for a few seconds, still avoiding my gaze. He sure was irritated about he did.
Who wouldn’t?!
This son of a goddamn bitch betrayed his Alpha and kidnapped his Luna.
“You will meet him! We will all meet him” Emma smirked.
Meet him?
What the heck are they taking about?
My gaze locked with Kia who just shurgged, made a pretense sad face and adjusted on his seat.
“You are a fucking Asshole!” I growled at him.
He was visibly pissed but ignored me.
The truck stopped in front of a big mansion. I was surprised and freak out and the same time.
Why, how, and when did they build such a building in the middle of nowhere?
After waiting for a few seconds, The gate opened and Alaric drove in.
Getting to the garage, Alaric parked, killed the engine, and got down. Emma followed, jumping like she was super excited or something.
“Don’t make me get down before you” Kia said.
His voice sounded grave, like he really meant all the unspoken things he would say.
I watched him open the door and climbed down but I didn’t follow him. For crying out loud, I was in a sweat pants and polo and I wasn’t wearing anything in it.
I looked out to see people waiting in guide of the place. Mainly men and a few women.
I watched Kia walk to someone, Told him something and looked back at me.
I was ready for anything.
Immediately the door opened, I kicked him in the face. My blood was boiling hot and I was ready to kill anyone.
“Dan! She is just a little Luna” Kia yelled at him.
Now out the car, I watched Dan followed my step in circles. He was watching my legs as if he would attack me from my legs.
“Knock the shit out of her like Alaric did!” Emma said in disgust.
Rage.
I didn’t know how i did it bit I did. A loud growl escaped my throat and the next was my bones crack and snapping. It’s being a while I shifted last and it was not so much fun doing it now.
On my fours, I stared at my ripped clothes and smirked. No wonder Rex take them off each time.
“Don’t make me hurt you prin…”
I didn’t let him finish, with all the rage and fright in me, I bounced on him. My claws reaching his chest to scratch him and my mouth got to his neck.
The moment my tongue tasted his blood, I went blank.
I didn’t pass out, I just didn’t know what I was doing till I dropped his lifeless body. I growled in want, rage, and expectations for more attack when I looked around.
“What the fuck just happened?” I heard someone asked.
The commotion was worst, like I was in the center of it all. Yep, I was in it.
My gaze was in Alaric who just stood still, waiting for me to attack him as I intended to.
“The fuck is wrong with you doctor!” I heard Emma yelled “Don’t let her hurt you!! We need…”
Need me or him?
I didn’t let her finish.
I slapped bher hard across the face, sending her flying before landing on her fours. She didn’t shift, she just felt like she knows the drill.
No wonder Mira had always hated her.
I winced in pain as I felt the inside of my stomach hurt from the kick from a Werewolf. He was brown and big, his furs had a mixture of brown and white.
Before I knew what was happening, I was surrounded by four fully shifted male wolves. Alaric just stood where he has being, unfazed. That expression alone made me want to kill him immediately.
But first, I had to deal with these.
I dodged the first attack and hurled him against the two behind him. I jumped on the one in front of me, biting fast and hard into his side.
He growled and kicked off but I regained immediately and longed at him with all the rage I had. Again, I bit him, trying to make as much mess as I could with my gaze at Alaric who still wasn’t moving.
I will kill him!
I will kill him!!!
I struggled with the person I was on before he shifted back to his human form. I knew he wasn’t going to be shifting anything soon so I jumped at Alaric but got kicked in the face by someone else.
Damn! That hurts.
I got lots of punches till I heard Kia’s voice.
“Behave yourself, Ashina!” He yelled.
I looked around to see him at the entrance of the door. He come back out because of me, how great!
I smiled at him even when I was in pain and attempted to attack him but he didn’t move, he just looked amto his left and I saw one of my Babies.
“One move and I rip her apart!!” He yelled.
I grew soft.
My spirit died as I shifted back to my human form, naked in front of everyone one.
Kia looked away from a few before someone came to wrap my body. When Kia looked back, I was as vulnerable as a squashed banana.
“That’s it! Behave or your babies get it!!”
I fell on my knees and began to cry.
I went through hell for those Babies.
“Fix her up! She can’t change again!?” Kia said, looking behind me.
Before I could look back, I felt something pour on me. I wasn’t wet, I just felt like I was covered in something and when I saw Emma, she was wearing a strange looking bracelet which was Klaus’s necklace.
I touched my neck to see that I had left mine at home.
My legs grew weak and I nearly feel with my face first. I shook my head to control myself and gen I was been pushed inside, I was back to my old self.
My gaze didn’t leave Kia as he walked away with my babies to another room.
I cried.
Tears kept flowing down my eyes uncontrollably.
“I am sorry, Luna” I heard someone said from behind me.
I didn’t care to look back back I knew it was Alaric. Sorry or not, I will kill him!
I will rip his head off and take it back to my home. I will put it in a stalk and show others not to betray me!
I was pushed to a room, it got opened for me to see that it was a plain room. Just a fancy queen sized bed and nothing else.
The gray paint made the room shone with mystery and rage.
I was pushed in, the door locked behind and Emma giggled.
“It’s late. Sleep and get ready for tomorrow’s feast” she intoned.
