Lahat ng Kabanata ng Hunting Their Defiant Luna: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Hugo POV Rolling my bottom lip through my teeth, I watched as Alec signed the release form the officer who arrested us had just shoved under his nose. They had detained Alec and I for 96 hours under charges of aggravated assault and suspected homicide. The first day had been rough even by our standards; we had been repeatedly questioned, had our fingerprints taken, and had a mugshot that, apparently, I wasn't allowed a copy of for the refrigerator at home. If James hadn't stepped in when the authorities applied to extend their hold on us after the first 24 hours, they would have indisputably had a strong case, and instead of release forms, we would be signing away our lives. Alec would also be exchanging his expensive suits for a pretty orange jumpsuit! "Enjoy your new jewellery, gentleman, and I will see you again this time tomorrow." The officer in charge chimed from the back wall as he watched us; despite finding no evidence to charge us formally, he had been reluctant to let us

Aurora POV The bright light teased at my retinas as I slowly started coming around from my nap. Forcing my heavy lids open, I came face to face with my reflection in the window panel, sucking in a breath at the state of me, my hair feral and free of its ponytail, eyes sunken despite the sleep, and my cami top had apparently gotten twisted showing my lacey green bra through the black fabric. "Damn, I look like ass!" I muttered, rubbing the back of my head where the pounding was starting to throb again. My eyes adjusting, I paused, seeing nothing but darkness beyond the window. My mouth dried instantly as sweat licked my spine at the confusion churning in my mind. Hadn't there just been a bright light? Blinking a few times, I tried to stretch out only to see my seat belt was tied around the armrest, restraining me somewhat. "What the fuck!" I mumbled numbly. Memories danced across my vision, reminding me of the 'nap' I had unwillingly taken. My companion, Simon, was not in the drivi

Aurora POV My heart sank hearing them talk about me; their plans for every part of my body left me feeling tainted by their filthy desires. I had a feeling I would never be able to wash the shame from my pores, but it wouldn't be the first time Luke had made me feel dirty and worthless, and I had a feeling it wouldn't be the last! "Unless we kill him!" Ava mumbled, sensing the pain and self-hate trickling through me. "Are you strong enough to take control?" I asked Ava, who was currently pacing in my mind, thinking of ways to kill the bastards holding us hostage without making things worse. "I think so, but I can't see how we will get past the phone and then them!" She grunted, surveying the land around us. "If you can just get me out of these restraints, I can do the rest; I have an idea," I admitted, a strategy forming in my mind. I just wasn't sure if I was being reckless again; it seemed my plans never went to plan and always landed me deeper in the shit! "What is it?" A

Alec POV "That would be me." I heard a deep voice say from beside the giant before me. An older man with the same dark hair and tanned skin but sporting more wrinkles and tight lines than the male I had my hand outstretched to explained. The tight smile on his face was more cautious than the giant's relaxed expression. "This is my son, Jason!" He explained with a polite nod. "Dickhead! As if he is the Alpha, he looks like a pup still nursing at the tit!" Hugo grunted through the link to me, forcing the groan back down my throat. I nodded to the Alpha in apology. "He is a big lad!" I expressed, shooting Jason a tense smile. "Yeah, doesn't his mother know it!" Hugo grunted, slapping the young lad on the back. Closing my eyes, I hoped for the second time in under a minute that my brother hadn't insulted our guests. "Shall we?" Motioning for our visitors to follow, I headed back inside the packhouse. "I hope it didn't take too long to get to us; I am sorry for putting you out." "

Alec POV "It should be in your inbox, Alpha." James remarked, his tone tight and filled with dread, which had the hairs at the back of my neck standing on edge; James was never serious. For a male who worked in a high-profile job, he was surprisingly juvenile. "You sure I can't talk you out of watching this and just take my word for it that it's Aurora?" James asked as I pulled the chair out at my desk and turned the computer on, hating the feeling of weakness in the pit of my stomach. "No. So what do we know about whoever posted the video?" I asked as I waited for the computer to load up, Maxwell getting up off the coach. "Honestly, Alpha, not enough. It was posted to a forum with the caption..." "Yes?" I snapped, feeling him stalling, obviously wanting to spare my feelings. "Place your bets; which brother will she beg for first?" As my computer turned on, I started loading my emails, feeling the tension growing in the room; I knew it was coming from Wrathm, who was staying
