Alanis POV
I awake in a cage, again. For the second time in my life, I am confined. This time by someone who is more psychotic than the last wolf that locked me away. This one is delusional and crazy. I look around the room and see him, and he is staring at me, looking at me and wanting me. I can sense his want for me. His raw desire for me, and it grosses me out.
"We are supposed to be together, but your mother, Jasmine, she sent you away to be with Merril and his bitch. You were supposed to be my mate," Conrad growls. His wolf is fighting to take over, and I am afraid. I know that his wolf wants me. He will take my body for his. My body belongs to my husband, not this crazy wolf.
"I have a mate. I belong to Alpha Sebastian. I am not your mate, Conrad. Please let me go before it is too late," I beg him.
I thought Luna Kate said he was harmless, but he is not. He is far from harmless. He looks as if he is ready to rape m
Alpha Sebastian POVLuna Kate is able to connect with Alanis. She begins doubling over in pain. Luna Kate screams out and then calms herself. Alpha Erick takes her hand. I know this pains him. Luna Kate lays her head back. I touch her shoulder, trying to offer my comfort."She is taking her pain and communicating with her," Alpha Erick says.Luna Kate begins breathing heavier and heavier, and she opens her eyes. "We have to hurry," Luna Kate says."Is she in the old house like Jasmine said?" I ask her.Tears are coming fast and frequently as Luna Kate tries to control her breathing. "Yes, thank goodness it stopped," Luna Kate says, holding her chest. She looks inside her shirt."He is hurting her, but it stopped," Luna Kate says. She looks at her wrist. Bruises are forming on her wrist. She checks her ankles, and they are developing bruises also. He has her tied in silver shackles.
Alanis POV"Please stop!" I scream out, crying and begging. I just want it to stop. Luna Kate is taking some of the pain, but I am breaking. I cannot take much more.Noah strikes me across the face. "Give in to me, Alanis. Say it! Say you will be mine. Release Alpha Sebastian as your mate and become mine," Noah says, hitting me again.Blood is streaming down my face. I look at him, spit out my blood, and growl as loud as I can. I feel the power coming from within me, but the shackles and the silver are holding me back. "HELP ME!" I scream out to anyone that is listening.We are close, I hear in my mind. Luna Kate is coming, and she has my sweet Alpha with her. They will save me. Noah puts his hands around my throat and begins shocking me. "Say it! Alanis or I will just take it. You can be my mater, or you can be my breeder. I am giving you a choice!" Noah screams at me."Take it. Go ahead, take it from
Luna Kate POVShe drops him, taking his heart and then walking away like it is nothing. She is falling into that dark place where her power is the strongest. I wanted to guide her so she could avoid the darkness, but whatever Noah did to her, it pushed her into that place. I know that darkness all too well. It is vengeful, and it pulls you into a dark cloud where nothing is as it seems. You think everyone is against you, but in reality, the only person against you is yourself."What now?" Alpha Sebastian asks me.I look to Alpha Erick. He will have to help me with this. It will be difficult for both him and me, but we have to do this."For now, we have to take care of her and let her know that she is loved. I will help guide her from the darkness, but we have to hurry. The only person that was able to pull me out of the darkness was Erick. Alpha Sebastian, you will have to endure whatever she throws at you and help
Alanis POVI walk back to the cottage with Belle. She holds my hand tries to give me some sort of peace. I feel havoc racing through my body, and I am not sure how to deal with any of it. It is a strange power that seems to be taking me over."Do not worry, Alanis. Mommy and daddy can help you. Especially mommy. Mommy knows how to help you," Belle says.I let Belle lead me into the bedroom. "Get comfortable," she says. I lay on the bed, and I close my eyes. I feel her touch my stomach."Are you happy about your babies?" Belle asks me. I open my eyes and look at her."babies?" I question her.She nods her head. "Yes, there are two," she says."Two?" I question her again. I touch my stomach and close my eyes."You can feel them, can't you. Feel their heartbeats," Belle says. I listen for the sounds of their heartb
Luna Alanis POVThe darkness stares at me through Alpha Sebastian’s eyes. Is he still in there? I try to reach Alpha Sebastian through our mate bond, but there is nothing. I cannot feel him at all. I am afraid for him. I will cooperate with the darkness. “Send them away now, or I will kill your precious love,” the darkness says, he hisses at me. I am petrified.“Send them into me,” I say to him. He smiles at me. For a moment his eyes shift to solid black, and it sends a shiver down my spine looking at him. I do not think Alpha Sebastian is still in there.“I will be right back my love,” the darkness says.He goes into the front part of the house and talks with Luna Kate and little Belle. It is almost twenty minutes before the two come into my bedroom to talk to me. Belle looks at me as if she knows what is going on, but Luna Kate looks
Luna Kate POVI leave Luna Alanis behind, taking Belle and going home. Neither one of us want to leave her, but we need help to fight the dark enemy. Alanis can defeat him herself with the help of Belle, but we need the dark one occupied, and we have to ensure Alpha Sebastian's safety.Belle and I get into our truck, and I take one last look at the house. I can feel her pain. As much as her pain hurts me, I can only imagine the way Belle feels right now. This ordeal with Alanis must be excruciating for her. The way Belle feels what is going on with other wolves is sometimes a burden for her and terrifying for me.I drive away slowly, but when we get out of sight, I kick it into high gear and roll out of the wolf territory heading home as fast as possible. We make it to the interstate within the hour. Luna Alanis and Alpha Sebastian's pack is further away from the world than our pack. That is one reason we have to act fast. No one will know that Alanis is captive
Luna Kate POVI awake to the sound of someone coming into my room. I jump out of the bed and begin to shift into my wolf. Whoever is after my baby and me will die right here and now. I have been through enough, and no one is going to come in here and take her, not now or ever. I run toward the noise at the entrance to our room. I growl into the darkness when a figure steps out into the light and holds up his hand. "It is me, Kate. I did not mean to scare you," Alpha Erick calls out to me before I jump onto him.I run to him, falling into his arms. "You did scare me. You completely freaked me out. Belle is still out of it. She said she needed rest and that she had work to do. Then she went to sleep. I want her to wake up. I am so worried," I say, sobbing into Alpha Erick's chest.He rubs my back and holds me close to him. He kisses my forehead and then lets go of me. He goes to the bed and kneels down beside the bed to get a good look at little Belle. He moves he
Luna Alanis POVI feel all alone. I see someone that looks like Alpha Sebastian, but it is not him. It is a dark force here to destroy me and take my baby. I lay my hand across my stomach and try to remain calm. I know Luna Kate will be back with an army to save me, but I am not sure how soon or when she will be back for me. I cannot take much more. The mental abuse from the dark one is killing my spirit. He keeps telling me that I will die alone and afraid while he raises my son. So, where is my Alpha? Did he kill him, or is he still there? I need to know my husband and child will survive this even if I do not survive."Who is there?" I ask as the door creeps open. A woman comes into the room with me. She has short black hair and looks like she is possessed by darkness. She bares her fangs at me and then growls. What the hell is she? Vampire? Werewolf? Both? I scream out as she comes closer to me, but nothing escapes my mouth. I begin crying. It
