“Are you insane?” Linda snapped. “Alpha Draven hasn’t done what we want yet. We can’t kill the brat. Better let him cry himself to exhaustion.”
“Well, Linda, I don’t think motherhood suits you,” I laughed, seeing her disgusted expression.
Linda shot back, “Your father was supposed to find us somewhere better. This place is a complete dump.”
“That’s what I thought, but he said we wouldn’t attract attention here. I’m dying of boredom though…”
Marcus brought over a big bag of food. At least he was useful for something,bringing supplies.
Though I had to admit, most of the credit for getting into Blood Moon Pack territory without alerting their patrols went to Marcus and his connections.
I really didn’t know how Linda had gotten involved with this guy.
Linda pulled Marcus into the bedroom. I knew exactly what that bitch was doing. It wasn’t long before she started moaning like a dog in heat.
Half an hour later, Marcus left, and Linda remained silent in the bedroom. When I called for her to deal with the brat, she told me to handle it myself. I nearly slapped her. The nerve!
I gave the little monster some cookies, and he threw them in my face. I was furious! I wanted to tie him to the kitchen table leg and go to sleep, ignoring his cries completely.
Back in my room, I put on headphones to block out the crying and covered my eyes with a sleep mask.
“Ow! Linda, stop shaking me, you cow!” I shouted when I felt someone disturbing me.
A large hand ripped the mask from my face. My room was filled with hulking men.
“Aaaaah! Help! Linda, help me! I’m being raped!” I screamed, fearing for my life.
“Shut up, you brat!” one of them growled. “This is law enforcement! Get up,you’re going to the dungeon for trial. Kidnapping an Alpha’s child? You’ve got some nerve!”
I froze. What were they talking about? I saw Linda standing by the bedroom door with her hands behind her back, and I started crying.
“Linda, what kind of joke is this?”
“You think this is a joke, you idiot? We’ve been caught, you fool!”
“Don’t talk to me like that! It’s your fault for sneaking off with your lover. Couldn’t you control yourselves? Linda! Ow… what’s that?” I felt something cold against my wrists.
“Silver bracelets, princess!” one of the brutes laughed.
“What?” I didn’t understand.
“Handcuffs, you moron! We’re being arrested, you clown!” Linda shouted.
“Now you get to sit in a cage,” another guard said, shoving me forward.
They pushed us outside and into actual cages in the back of a vehicle. Before being forced inside, I caught sight of the little brat being held by a handsome man. Interestingly, the kid had stopped crying.
My wolf whimpered inside me, sensing the danger we were in. Wolves caught betraying an Alpha rarely survived the punishment. My father had promised we’d be untouchable,where was he now when I needed him most?
The silver handcuffs burned against my skin as the reality of our situation sank in. We had kidnapped an Alpha’s son, his heir, his blood. Even my status as Howard’s daughter wouldn’t protect me from what was coming.
As the vehicle started moving, I caught Linda’s terrified eyes across from me. For the first time since this plan began, I saw raw fear there.
Draven’s POV
I was a bundle of nerves waiting for any news. The pack enforcers had discovered the cell tower location and mapped out a search perimeter. Teams of warriors were already on their way.
“Eleanor…” Nate’s mother called.
“Hi, Teresa.”
“The warriors arrived. They’re going in.”
“Thank the Moon Goddess they’re here!” I whispered.
“Teresa, get out of there now.”
“No way, I’m safe where I am, I’ll wait,” Nate’s mother insisted.
“Mom, how can you see anything at this time of night?” Nate asked.
“While I was waiting by the salon door, I had Maria bring me your binoculars. I like them, you better buy another pair because I’m keeping these.” Nate’s mother was quite a character.
“Mom, for Moon’s sake, you’re not some rogue spy,” Nate put his hand over his face.
“I’m better than any spy. Eleanor said so.” Teresa managed to get everyone in the room laughing, even with all the tension.
“Teresa, you’re simply the best. Thank you so much,” I thanked her sincerely.
“Alpha Draven, dear, everything will be fine. Have faith,” she replied. “They’re coming out now, they put two women in the enforcement van.”
“Jace, any news?” Ryan asked through his phone.
“Liam is in my arms right now, Ryan. He seems fine, but I’m taking him to the pack doctor first for an examination and to make sure he’s okay. Then we’ll convoy to Harbor Bay. We have three detainees, but since this involves two packs, we’ll bring them in and hand them over,” Moreno explained.
“Jace, can’t you come by air? We’re anxious about Liam,” Ryan explained.
“I could, Ryan, but getting clearance for that would take too long with all the territory boundaries.”
“I’ll arrange for an Alpha-cleared flight right now and you can come as soon as possible. Would that work? How many will be coming?” Ryan asked.
“It’s good to have friends with Alpha connections,” Jace Moreno laughed. “Do that and give me the details. It’ll be me, Liam, the three detainees, and three enforcers.”
“Ryan, tell him I’m going to the doctor’s to see how little Liam is doing. He knows me, I can calm him down, poor pup,” Teresa spoke quickly.
“Did you hear that, Jace? Her name is Teresa,” Ryan informed.
