Semua Bab Burning Desires: Craving For My Father's Best Friend (Biker): Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter twenty-oneLiliana"Tabby, what are you doing here?"I asked, dropping my bag behind me so she couldn't see what I was up to."Sorry, mistress, but I...I forgot something here. Going somewhere, Mistress?"Oh, for goodness sake! Right now of all time?What could she possibly have forgotten?"No...no...just goofing around. What did you forget?" I asked, trying my best to sound pleasant. I can't let her sense anything. This wasn't just about escape anymore. It was a test. If I gave up now, if I got caught again, they'd always see me as the broken daughter of a disgraced Alpha. I had to make it. I had to become someone they'd never underestimate again."The laundry basket of some of your clothes. I want to get them washed before tomorrow."I clenched my hand into fists behind me."Where are they so I can get it?""Um, the bathroom." She said."Okay. Stay here. I'll get them."She gave me a strange look. I closed the door before she could ask any questions.Hurrying up to the bathr

Chapter twenty threeGeraldRogues, they were the absolute worst-wild, filthy, and disgusting.They'd been plaguing the Silver Moon Pack for weeks now, attacking travelers, stealing supplies, and worse, kidnapping young wolves for ransom. It was getting out of hand, and I had finally been hired to put an end to it.Usually, I wouldn't take jobs like this, but they were messing with my trade with other packs, and merchants that were supposed to come in to supply their goods were getting robbed.This was a win-win for me.I glanced down at my watch. Two more minutes. Cain and Coco were still tracking the rogues' scent to their hideout, and I needed that update fast. We were parked in an unmarked black van a few hundred meters from the woods. The smell of rot and unwashed fur in the air told me we were close.I tapped my foot against the floorboard of the van. Time was slipping. I had exactly thirty minutes before I was due at a party I'd promised to attend. Showing up late wasn't an opt

Chapter twenty fiveLilianaAs I slung my backpack over my shoulders, I wrapped a scarf around my face and put on a pair of sunglasses I had stolen from Max to disguise myself.I took out some onions and garlic that I had chopped up yesterday before coming here and sprayed it all over the place to mask my scent.If Max came looking for me, my scent would stop here.I continued to sprinkle onion and garlic and then rubbed some all over my body before leaving that spot.I walked through the clearing, making sure to take note of every little thing around me.Even though I had gotten about three and half hours of sleep, I was still very tired and groggy. Who knew escaping your abductors felt way worse than staying with them?"Shut up" Kyra, my wolf shook her head at me.I kept my eyes and mind sharp, looking out for any predators lurking around the woods.My hands were shoved inside the pocket of a trench coat I had stolen from the laundry room. I wasn't sure who it belonged to but it was

Chapter twenty-sevenLilianaI was crouched down, peeling potatoes ona makeshift countertop, whistling a harmonious tone.Although I wasn't used toI felt safe and happy around them. I had been here for a day and a half, and I felt like I had known them forever.Peter and Josephine have been nothing but kind to me. Even when I had woken up this morning and insisted I find a motel to stay in, they'd vehemently refused, encouraging me to stay as long as I deemed fit.Just as Josephine had promised. She'd not asked any questions about who I was running from, which was great because I wasn't sure I was ready to tell her my entire traumatic life without crying my eyes out.Just thinking about it now made my chest tight.Josephine appeared in the kitchen just then as if she'd heard my thoughts."How is it going?" She asked with a smile.I looked up at her from my crouched position."I think I've gotten the hang of it." I showed her a bucket

Chapter twenty-nineLilianaThe woods surrounding the cabin swallowed me whole.I ran as though my life depended on it, because frankly it did. The cabin was far behind me. Reduced to a distant memory.The night air burned against my face, freezing and cutting at the same time, but I didn't stop. I couldn't stop.My breath tore out of me in ragged bursts.Branches tore at my clothes and skin as I pushed deeper into the woods, my heart pounding louder than the crunch of leaves under my boots.I could hear a group of strong men gaining momentum towards me, but I didn't dare look back.I was focused on getting out of here even though I had no idea where I was going.I contemplated shifting to my wolf form but knew I didn't have the time."Who do you think they are?" I asked Ria, my wolf."I don't know, but I'll keep running. They are very dangerous. We can't let them catch us." Ria said sharply.I did as she told me, running like a thief who could lose both hands if caught.Shit.My brea
