I run my hands through Clara's hair while we kiss and I can't help but notice how it's the softest thing I've ever passed my fingers through, plus, when I move her hair I get even more of her scent and I let out a low growl. "Yes, Alpha," Clara whimpers as I take possession of her body and carry her. She wraps her legs around me and puts her hands on my shoulders. The bed is right there, so I lie her down careful not to crush her and move my kisses down her jaw to the delicate skin of her neck that will one day bear my mark. "Luna, I came here for you. I need you to leave with me," I beg, forcing myself to pull away far enough to meet her eyes, "The people of this clan will never let us be together. Go with me and let's start our life together someplace else. I promise you I will always take care of you and I will give you everything you need." "All I need is to have you," she replies in a soft voice and raises a hand to touch my forehead, "You're right, they don't want us togeth
"Where are we going?" I ask a few minutes later, when I'm fed up with the awkward silence my kidnapper is creating with his bad energy. "To a human city, we're going to eat and talk about my plans," he answers, without turning to look at me. He’s driving with complete confidence and I wonder if he has much experience going to human cities, "If you try to make a fuss, it's going to be worse for both of us, understand?"I don't answer anything because I don't like his tone one bit. I don't understand why he's acting like I'm the one who did something wrong when he literally dragged me out of my room and forced me to come here with him.‘He's our Alpha, why are you denying him of us? We belong with him’, says my wolf, struggling to push to get out, but I won't let her because it would be the worst thing ever. Rodrick is right and I could gain his trust to escape somehow, but it's obvious he's already expecting it so it's not the best idea in the world. The only thing I can hope for i
I don't answer anything to that because I don't know what to say. Something in me wants to apologize for calling him crazy so many times and constantly offending him but I'm not going to do that because maybe he isn't, but he absolutely has done bad things. "What's your end goal with kidnapping me, Rodrick? What’s the plan?” I ask, looking into his eyes, seeing a normal man now. Rodrick lowers his gaze and moves his fries around as he thinks like he doesn't know. I figure he expected me to be okay with just living with him, "My father is coming to get me, you know that, right? There are cameras all over the clan, they're going to know exactly what happened and even if I went out on my own, they'll know it wasn't me." "My plan is for you to call them and tell them you're okay and that you want them to leave us alone and not to look for you," he blurts out and moves to pull something out of his pocket. It’s my fucking phone. But he doesn't stretch it out to me, "You have to do that,
Before leaving the city, I stop in a human supermarket to buy a few things to make my mate more comfortable while we live in the woods because I'm sure we’ll be there for a long time and I don't want her spoiled ass to start getting fed up and seriously try to escape from me, not because I can't stop her but because I don't want to. The last thing I want is for my Luna to feel like she's seriously being held captive or kidnapped by me, it's painful and unnatural. I want her to be with me because she wants to, not because I'm forcing her. "What are we going to buy, Alpha?" she asks as we walk down the aisles, holding my hand and looking quite content being with me. I take advantage of that and let go of her hand to wrap my arm around her slender shoulders and kiss her head, walking down the aisle that way. I can see a human man watching her, but it doesn't take much more than a glance from me for him to turn his eyes away from her. "Some things for you, to make you as comfortabl
I have no idea how much time has passed but when I wake up wearing only my shirt and nothing else, everything feels different, especially when I see the man coming towards me grunting with pain and blood all over his naked body. It's Rodrick. "What the fuck?!” I exclaim, immediately getting up and walking towards him with concern. Rodrick shakes his head and gently pushes me aside when I try to touch him. He walks over to the ‘bed’ and plops down there with much more grace than I would expect from him right now, "Rodrick, tell me what happened." "I'm fine. I'm not dying or anything, just a little hurt," he assures me, letting out a grunt of pain, "I'll start healing soon. My wolf is sedated so he can't help me right now." "What happened?" I demand again, more forcefully now, moving closer to him, "How long have we been here?" "Two weeks, give or take. I’m not sure," he answers with his eyes closed, I can smell the anger and frustration he's feeling right now, "I went to talk to
Rodrick gently pulls me aside, which surprises me. I thought he was going to come and pull me or throw me aside forcefully. "This is Rodrick," he says when he grabs the phone, his voice deep, his back rising and falling with his heavy breathing, "Stop asking if I've hurt my mate, I would never do that. I'm only running away because I'm a prisoner, according to you, but having her with me is not a crime. She is mine by right." "Your mate is terrified, Rodrick," Daniel spits, angrily. I'm just trembling with fear, standing beside Rodrick not knowing what to do, "She doesn't want to be with you, that makes it a kidnapping. You don't know your own omega. If you did you would know how much she's hating what you're putting her through." He knows, he just doesn't care. "Shut up!" he shouts, "I'm doing all this for her. I'm giving her a clan and making her my Luna." "Stop, Rodrick, just stop. No clan in America would accept that nonsense, no one abides by those rules anymore. You could
{ Rodrick } Despite Clara's honest words and her promise that she will not betray me once we are under her father's control, my hands are shaking on the way back to Fallonmore and I can't help but look towards her nervously. It’s very likely that she will change her mind as soon as we arrive, or that she will simply fail to control her father as much as she thinks she can. However, my hands are tied. I can't do anything. I can't not go after my brother and I can't not take Clara with me. If I leave her alone somewhere I would risk not coming back for her. And I can't do that, I can't leave her alone and helpless. "Tell me more about your brother," Clara suddenly asks, pulling me out of my thoughts and reaching out a hand to put it on my leg. Her urge to comfort to me immediately makes me feel better, "The good stuff." "Andrew is super smart," I start, unable to stop my sad smile as I think about him, "He knows everything about everything, he loves to read things just to learn,
My father completely refuses my request, but I don't give up. I can’t. I get in the van with him, Rodrick and Andrew on the way back and make sure to tell him everything I know about Rodrick so he understands what a good person he is and all the reasons why he should forgive him. "Mr. Frank, Clara is right," Andrew supports from beside me, giving me an encouraging smile, "My brother is very good at all kinds of physical labor, he could help out at Fallonmore." "Yes! Community service!" I exclaim, making my father sigh wearily again. He's sitting on the passenger side of the van and doesn't even turn back to look at me and Andrew defending Rodrick, in fact, I can sense he's getting tired of my bullshit, "That would be a perfect idea. Force him to fix things around the clan. That’ll show him.” "Clara, please," he whines, turning to look at me for the first time since we got in the van. I can hear Rodrick grunting and groaning in the trunk where he’s in. He's waking up, "I've had tw
