Chapter 21
Chapter 21
“You are crazy! What kind of Luna are you?!” I shout at her
but she makes no attempt to
answer.
After a long walk into the
woods, we come across an area mounted with shrubs,
natural debris, and fallen
trees. Under these clutters
that the guards move aside there is a trap door. When
they open it, they carry me
down to what looks like a
bunker. It is clearly
abandoned.
They entrapped me to a wall
shackled in chains.
I realize that I am scared to
die because, for the first
time, I have something that I
truly want in my life. I want
Colt. I want what he offers
1. me. A life with a mate who
truly cares about me.
I look at her, determined to
buy some time. “What are you going to do? You kill me and Colt will never forgive you, Erza either! I am still his
mate and he will feel it in his
core!”
“You are the cancer to this
pack. If I allow you to go on, your influence will grow too powerful. And I don’t want you anywhere near my children. They will be upset, yes but eventually they will forget. I rather they hate me than to deal with you.”
“You are clearly not fit to be Luna anymore, mother.” Colt suddenly appears from the
shadows behind her.
“Colt!” I shout with relief.
“How?! How did you find this place? Not even your father
knows about it and so fast!”
He walks past her in my direction and starts to
meddle with my retrains.
“Mother…for the last three
years, I have been part of an elite tracking team for the Dark Fang pack. You could
not have been easier to track
even if you had left clues on purpose for us.”
I can see behind him Dash
with his arms crossed,
leaning on a wall, and a disapproving expression on
his face.
Colt releases my hands and
rubs my wrists. “Are you
hurt?”
I shake my head. “Nothing I
couldn’t handle. You didn’t
give them a chance to do more…thank you.”
He smiles tenderly, then leans forward and k*sses my head. I cling to him feeling the safety he emanates, never wanting to let go.
A frown suddenly tugs the corner of his l*ps and his
head slowly turns back to
look at his mother.
“Colt…listen to me! She will
bring this pack down! She
has you and your brother pinned against each other!”
“Mother…” His voice is void
of emotion and it scares even
1. me. “I love you…but my wolf will hurt you if you touch her again.”
Her face pales and her eyes widen. “You…you would hurt
me?!”
“My wolf has taken to her. It will be instinct and you are asking for it. I warn you just
this once. Don’t make me do
something I don’t want to
do.”
“How can… how can you talk
to me like this?”
“Look at what you are doing.
How is this okay in your
mind?” he asks.
“Alice, what are you
thinking?! What is this
place?!” The Alpha suddenly
rushes in.
“I need to protect my children!” she screams.
“From this girl? What can this girl do? This is all drama
that will simmer down once
Ezra realizes the
consequences of his actions.”
Colt walks us past them.
“Excuse me Dad but I am
going to take her home.”
The Alpha nods as he
continues to try to talk some
sense to the Luna.
We leave them and climb up the hatch. Immediately Colt
picks me up and starts
walking back to the pack
house.
“What is it with you always
carrying me?” I ask. “I can walk perfectly fine.”
“You are light. I like how you
feel in my arms when I carry
you.”
I don’t know why I am
complaining. I like How he
feels when he carries me too.
“Since you won’t let me be
inside of you or even touch
you, I’ll take what I can get.”
I gasp. “Shut up!”
He laughs.
“You act as if you still don’t
try.”
“Of course, I try. I want you so bad.”
He makes me blush. I hug him and hide my face but
that’s when I realize that
Dash is behind him with a
scowl.
Uh! He probably heard all of
that.
I smile at him. “Thank you,
Dash,” I say watching him as
he follows us.
“Yeah, you can thank me by dismissing me. I don’t want to have to listen to you two
talking all the way up to your room like this.”
“Thanks, Dash. You can go.‘
Colt says.
He finally smiles and
immediately walks away.
When we walk inside, we are
met with Kaecy who frantically shakes his head.
“Go! Please. He is looking
for…” He can’t finish. Ezra
rushes through the hall in our direction.
“Is she okay?!” he asks. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes.” Colt answers in a cold
tone.
“Let me see her!”
Kaecy gets in front of him.
“No,” Colt replies.
“You can’t just take her! You can’t keep her away from
me!”
“I am fine, Ezra,” I say.
“You are MY mate!” he says.
He is starting to sound like a
broken record and still, I feel
nothing when he says these things.
Colt walks up the stairs ignoring him and leaving Kaecy to deal with him.
When we make it to his
room, I sigh in relief as he
lies me on the bed.
“Can we just go to sleep and let this day end?” I ask, feeling tired of it all.
He takes his shirt off and
drops himself next to me.
“Yes.” He pulls me in a hug and settles us comfortably
on the bed. “Let’s rest.”
I really do hope this all gets
easier. This is too much
stress for me and I hate it.
***
I am suddenly woken up by
Colt.
“Mh. No.”
I hear him laugh. “No what?”
“No wake me…”
He laughs again. “You mean don’t wake you?”
I nod with my eyes closed.
“Get up, Angel. We are leaving.”
My eyes open and my head
props up. “Leaving? To
where?”
“To the city.”
“But I thought we still had
one more day?”
“With everything that has
happened, I think it is best to
leave early.”
I actually agree with him.
I nod. I get up and stretch as I watch him get up and head to the bathroom but he stops before closing the door.
“Shower?” he asks.
“No! Not this time mister.” I
immediately say.
I can’t. It was too hard to
resist him yesterday so I am
not risking it this time.
He grunts but closes the
door.
I get up and turn on the light. That’s when I notice
my backpack in the corner
of the room.
I smile. Lauren must have
packed it for me.
I quickly change before Colt
finishes his shower. Then
check my stuff and make sure that everything I need is
in there and it is. Lauren
knows me very well.
When Colt finishes his
shower, he comes out with
just a towel on his waist. The
f**ker looks at me with a
smirk and suddenly drops
the towel. I feel a flush
creeping up my cheeks as
my eyes go round.
He strides to the closet in all
his n*ked glory. The
mountains of muscles on his
back, arms, and legs bulge as
he walks.
When he enters the closet,
that is when I feel like I can
finally breathe. I was
definitely holding my breath.
I close my eyes and take in a deep breath. This man is so good–looking scars and all.
He is perfect. He is much
bigger than all his brothers. Kacey and Ezra are tall but
have a smaller build. Colt is
much more buil on his
shoulders and deltoids as
well as his rib area. I am
finding out that I am liking
when he hugs me because I almost disappear in his arms.
He comes out dressed in a
half–suit. He doesn’t wear the
blazer but holds it hung over
his shoulder. He looks
deliciously handsome.
“Are you ready?” As he asks
this, a knock comes at the
door.
Colt opens it and Dash walks
1. in.
“F**king bastard. You didn’t tell me I was going to be
your personal butler.” Dash mutters as he stands in front
of Colt.
“Hey, you are welcome to leave the pack and do
whatever you want,” Colt
says.
“And what the f**k am I
going to do?”
“Well, until I am Alpha, you won’t be Beta just yet. So you
just have to hang in there.”
Dash rolls his eyes and then looks at me. He grins. “Hey,
Curls! You, I don’t mind
catering to.” He says as he reaches for my bag.
He looks at Colt again. “Your brother has been actin‘ up all f**king night. Thank the goddess I am going with you
because otherwise, I’d kill him myself.”
Dash walks out muttering
curses under his breath. Colt
turns to me and takes my
hand.
“Let’s get out of here
already.“
I nod. “I want to stop at
Lauren’s first to say
goodbye.”
“Okay.” He says now walking
down the stairs.
To my displeasure, the Luna is standing at the bottom of
the stairs.
“There you are. Wanted to
see you off,” she says as if yesterday didn’t happen.
Colt stands motionless
staring at her. She walks up the stairs and hugs him and
k*sses his cheek but he still
doesn’t move. Her eyes land
on me and she quickly looks at Colt again.
“For the loves of the goddess
Colt, please reconsider. This girl-”
“Stop. You have no say in any
of it.”
“I just don’t get what is your infatuation with her! And
how in the hell can she be
mated to Ezra?! That makes
no sense! He is of Alpha
blood! You are of Alpha
blood! You should have
someone better.”
“Enough…” he growls in a low
tone. It is not intimidating
but it has a warning in it and
she shuts her mouth. I can
see she wants to say more
but she doesn’t.
“Let’s go.” he says pulling me away and ignoring her.
I smirk to myself but it is not
because of Colt’s reaction to
her. It is because her words
don’t hurt me one bit and I
am glad that I have grown this much. I don’t care what
anyone says about me
anymore.
The car is already waiting for
us in the front. We see Dash
putting our bags in the trunk
of the car and he does not
look happy. It makes me laugh.
Colt pulls me away from the car and into the direction of
Lauren and James’s house.
She is already up and when
she sees me, she
immediately hugs me.
“Have fun, okay? You deserve good things in your life. So enjoy this.” She says.
I hold her tight, nodding.
“Do not have that baby of
yours until I am back,” I say
now touching her stomach.
She laughs. “I still have a few months to go, not a week, so
I am sure you’ll be here just
in time.”
I look back at Colt. “How
long will we be gone?”
I never asked.
He nods. “Well be out there
for just a few days. Three to four, max.”
Lauren hugs me again. “Get that coochie slammed good.
You need it.”
I gasp pulling away from her
feeling horrified and she
starts laughing.
I look back at Colt and I can tell he heard. He is looking away with a grin but tries very hard to hold his laugh.
“Let’s go, now!” I say sprinting away.
I look back at Lauren with
squinted eyes and eyebrows
knitted but all she does is
laugh.
Walking through the woods, Colt clears his throat ready to say something. I know it
has to do with what Lauren
says.
“No. Shush!” I say before he
says anything and he starts laughing.
Back now at the car, Dash
leans on the car.
“Let’s go already,” he says.
“You are in a great mood today,” I say.
He sighs. “PMS.”
“What?! Stop it! I wish you’d actually felt that so you can know how not a joke that is.”
He laughs.

“No. Shush!” I say before he
