Chasing the rejected Luna

56: In for a huge shock

Pain erupted from the base of my skull. And while I tried to get myself into a more comfortable position, I realized that I was tied to something. And my limbs hurt.

I couldn’t move my hand nor could I move my legs. Also, I felt something cover my eyes, a blindfold of some sort. Fear almost made me panic as my breathing became labored and I knew if I gave way to the panic building up inside of me, I might pass out again because the air in the room I was put in was thin.

And it smelt damp like I was in an old abandoned building. I tried one more time to turn into my wolf so she could get us out of here. But I couldn't feel her and the panic I tried to push back, came rushing back.

It reminded me of the time when I was little and was bullied by some boys my age and I was locked in the cupboard for a day. I eventually passed out from fright and from that day my dear of small spaces grew like a wildfire and being blindfolded with little to no air in the room, the memories came back in full force.

I feared I might pass out. I tried counting to a hundred. It was what I did whenever I was woken up from a bad dream

Then it stopped not because I finally took control of my emotions but because of the footsteps I heard. Finally, someone was coming to me. I couldn't even begin to imagine who might be behind my abduction. The first thought that came to me was Ryven because he never wanted me back to Alexander in the first place.

But thinking about it, I knew it wasn't possible except he was able to break out of the power of my compulsion. Although I didn't know how strong my compulsion could be, I just hoped it wasn't him.

Which brought me to another assumption. Before I was taken, Orion talked about Dianne's mother. Would she go that far just to get what she wants?

My thoughts were cut short by the noise the door made. And I was right because the door made a creaky sound which meant I was in an old house And I wondered if I was still in the pack. I doubted it because I could no longer feel the pack. I wasn't still accepted into the pack. It would be hard for Alexander to find me because he would have to work with my smell alone.

And I knew whoever was behind this wasn’t foolish enough not to mask my scent. Which means bi was in this alone. Even if I wanted to give up because I knew it would be basically impossible, I had to fight because of my child.

I had never been a fighter. But just this once, I would be for her.

The blindfold was yanked from my eyes and it took me a while to realize what was happening. The room was dark, too dark for me to make out the face of the man standing before me with an eerie smile on his face which made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

"I thought you would never wake up. I had almost done the horrifying action of waking you up myself and you know what that means," he smirked and I shivered because Ii knew exactly what he was talking about.

At that time, my eyes had slowly adjusted to the light in the room. There wasn't any source of light in the room except for a small window. It was too high up for me to make out what was outside. But from the noise, I knew we were somewhere in the middle of the woods.

I heard leaves rustling. “Fuck you!" I spat at the bulky man who was a huge mass of muscles.

"Smart ass, huh? Let's see how far you can go with this tongue. But first I have to inform her you are awake," he said and looked at me. waiting for me to say more to him.

And I knew I had to distract him even if I had no idea what I would be distracting him for.

"I'd like to see you try. Just because I am tied up doesn't mean you can beat me up. Whoever your boss is, must have told you who I am," I smirked and I watched in glee as his face morphed into anger.

With one stride, he was in front of me and roughly took hold of my jaw. His hands were strong and huge as they wrapped around my jawina surprising precision.

"Don't run your mouth here. Unless you will regret ever meeting someone like me."

I glared at him, "And if I don't? I’m sure your boss wouldn't be so pleased if you killed me. What use could I be to her if you do? And I'm sure if you do, a worse fate will be waiting for you," I spat at him, reveling in the feeling as anger coursed through him, his eyes a burning coffee color.

His hand tightened on my jaw. I felt like he had the intent of snapping them into two.

"True," he admitted and my eyes widened in surprise as he let go of me. "But what you failed to realize is that she wouldn't give a dipshit whether you are hurt or not," and with that, his hands flew in the air and landed on my cheeks with a resounding slap.

For a moment, I forgot what it was like to hear sounds as my ears had a dull ringing before finally feeling the impact of his slap. He put so much force behind the slap as I looked at the ground.

"Cat got your tongue bitch?” He laughed maniacally. And I turned to face him. Anger coursed through me but it pained me that I couldn't show him what it felt like to hurt someone who was a descendant of the moon goddess.

I joined in his faughter until he died down. "Is thatthe best you can do? Just waituntil I get out of here, I would make sure I tear you limb D by limb. ¥ou are a weak, pathetic > excuse of aman whose job isto follow the orders of someoie who is equally as insane as you,

The big man yanked my hair and pain erupted from my scalp but I didn't let it show. I wouldn’t show weakness. Not now. I had my plans for him to get out of here. Maybe it was time to put my brain to the test.

"You're still talking?” He raised his hand to slap me again but the pain I expected never came. Instead, it was a man's voice that came instead.

"Jared, leave her alone. The boss wouldn't be happy if you hurt her.” a man in white who was also as big as the man named Jared came into the room

He was more scary than Jared, the first man. And he had a look which could paralyze a man. However it was so bad, it didn't work on me because I knew he wouldn't hurt. Not until I figured something out for myself.

"Lucky bitch!" The first man released my hair with so much force that the metal chair I was tied to shook, almost falling Mr to my face

“Leave us alone,” the second man said without breaking eye contact with me.

"But..." the first man Jared started.

"Do as I say, Jared,” there was a low warning in his voice. Jared mumbled something before leaving the room to both the scary man and me. “You shouldn't provoke him. Jared has a nasty temper.”

"Why did you save me?" I asked curious even if I was silently grateful for his timely intervention. I bet I would have probably lost both of my hearing and healed only if I got my wolf back.

"Let's just say for what we plan to do with you, we feed you in a good condition, Don't overthink it, lonly saved yqu because you would < become-useless once dead. SS“ Althotgh Jared knows this. But sométi mes, he gets lost in his amger," he said and put a 6up in front of my face.

"I'm not that stupid to think you care about me," I rolled my eyes, almost regretting it because of the headache that almost split my head in two.

"Good. Now drink," he said as he got closer to me. Too close for me to do whatever I wanted to do. Except I couldn't because I was tied to a bloody chair.

I looked into the cup where a blue straw lay. They couldn't have put anything right? Plus I was thirsty and my throat needed something wet.

"It's not poisoned. Why would we go through the stress of bringing you here just to poison you?" The man asked and I knew there was some sense in what he said.

Then I drank from it and was relieved to finally get something into my stamach. I was hungry but that was the least of my worries because I needed to get out of here as soon as possible. I needed strength in case I wanted to escape.

"Do you have food?" I asked when I drowned the water in the cup.

"No. You don't need food. We just need you to stay alive," The man said and left the room, not sparing me a second glance.

Fumbling with the ropes used to bind my hands, I discovered they were thick ropes that couldn't be cut with ordigar y fingers. And I couldn't get my-Fands out either no matter how «puch tried. They tied my hands and feet so tight, that knew blood had probably stopped flowing in those areas. ite) Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

I stopped by trying to get my hands out when I heard footsteps. They were different from the ones that had come earlier. This was softer and lighter, like a female. Was it the boss the man was talking about?

My eyes left the floor and settled on the door to know whe was coming. A little part of me knew it wasn't their boss because she would have probably come with a lot of her boys

The door opened and revealed someone I never thought I would see.

“Are you hungry? I brought you food. But you need to eat it fast. I don't want my mother to see me here," Dianne said and hastily walked into the room, constantly looking behind her shoulders as she shut the door with a very soft click.
