I wake up, feeling like I am hit by a bus. My vision is blurred, and I try to blink it away. Where the bloody hell am I. I try t get up but feel I am chained up against the floor, with heavy steel chains both my arms and legs are chained up on the ring on the floor. Leaving me with limited room to move. I try pulling the chains, but no luck there. I am still weak from the wolfsbane they injected me with. When I finally can see something, I realize I am in the cells, by the looks of the concrete wall and the steel door I can tell I am still on our territory. My great-grandfather made these cells. They are located near the school in the forest. But why am I still on our territory? Who took me? And why?
"Hello? Anyone out there?" I ask, but no one answers.The heavy steel door opens. My father steps inside followed by two men."DAD," I say relieved, I knew it would not take long for him to come and find me. He walks over to the cell I am in, "Dad, someone took me. Why did thPOV Kristy.My head is pounding. Waking up from the punch that knocked me out, I rub the side of my forehead when I feel the blood drip down my face. I try to get up but no use to that. I am still chained to the floor in the cell."Are you alright there, love? Taking a little nap."When I look up I notice Matthias."You" I growl at him. "Me," he laughs. "I told you I was going to be your mate. You should have been nicer to me. It did not have to come to this Kristy. But, here we are. You have nowhere to go. Your father has given very clear orders. I am here to mark you. Claim what is rightfully mine. So maybe you should have thought about getting to know me a little bit better before lashing at me. Admit it, you like it. You like me, you are just too afraid to admit it. You love the way I chase you. My hot muscular body. You want me as much as I want you. I see the way you look at me in training." He says, slowly getting closer to the cell I am in."Yo
POV Axel. I rush to the pack's clinic with Kristy in my arms. I already mind-linked our pack's doctor. When we arrive at the clinic the doctor is ready for us waiting at the entrance with a gurney. I put her on the gurney quickly and the doctor and nurses rushed her to an emergency room."I already took out the bullet but she is not waking up.""We got it from here Alpha. We got her." The doctor tells me. I stand back and watch the doctor and nursers hook her up on an IV and examine her. "Please Alpha, go sit in the waiting room we got her. We will call you when needed." A nurse escorts me to the waiting room where I go sit down on one of the hard plastic chairs.I hope I made the right choice to not go to her aunt's clinic. I did not trust it. Not anyone at this point. Her own bloody father took her and even shot her with a silver bullet. How could I trust that someone from his pack would take good care of her? I just hope I made the right choice co
POV KristyI have been staring out the window in Axel's bedroom all day. Trying to wrap my head around what happened last night. My father kidnapped me, locked me up in the cells. He wanted to let Matthias mark me. A bloody jerk with no brain cells. When I was able to escape he freaking shot me with a silver bullet. Who would do that to their own bloody daughter? How did he even know Axel is my mate. I did not tell him. I did not notice anyone following me to the big old tree. I sure as hell don't think my aunt or Olivia would betray me. One of his men must have seen us there is no other explanation. A nice lady brought me some clothes. Ester was her name I think. Not exactly my style but better than Axel's clothes that are way too big for me. Although I love wearing his t-shirt, it's covered in his scent. It calms me down smelling him. "Here you go hun, eat something," Axel says while holding out a plate with food to me."I am not hungry.""You have to eat. You
"What do you mean that is not what happened?" I say confused. What does he mean? His father did not kill my mother? Then who did? "My father did not kill your mother, Kristy. Is that what your father told you? What exactly did he tell you?""Not much, that is why I asked. I still have so many questions about my mother's death. Every time I brought it up to my dad he would just get angry, so I stopped asking.""Alright come on let's go," Axel says and he gets out of the water."Go where? Why can't you just tell me what happened?""I can but you'll have a lot of questions. Questions I can not answer.""Who? Where are we going? please just tell me.""You will see," Axel says and he shifts back to his wolf form and runs back to his car. I get out of the water quickly shifting and chasing after him. I try to catch my breath when we arrive at the tree line where we left out clothes and put them on."Can't you just tell me?" I ask Axel when he gets
"Are you okay?" Axel asks when he pulls my hair out of my face. "No, I am not okay. I want to go home." "Okay, we will go home" He hands me a glass of water and I take a big sip. washing down the taste of my vomit."Know that you are always welcome. When you are ready to talk I will be here." My grandmother says while she rubs my back. We get into the car and drive back home. Once we arrive home I immediately head upstairs to Axel's bedroom. I go lay down on the bed and stare at the ceiling.All this time I thought Axel's father was the one who killed my mother. But it was my father. He killed his own mate when he was the one at fault. He cheated on my mother and killed her when she found out. My stomach turns again at the thought alone. How could he? His own mate. I knew my dad was strict and wanted his way. But I never knew he was a bloody monster. This is too much. I don't want to think about it, but it is all I can think about. It's like I never knew
I wake up the next morning and see that Axel is still asleep. I walk over to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I look at my mark in the mirror. I touch the red mark on my neck underneath my ear. It is kind of like half a moon but just one outline in dots. This mark makes me officially a Luna. Bounded with Axel. But that's not all. Now that he marked me, he will introduce me properly to the pack and we will have a ceremony. This only occurs when an Alpha finds his mate. The ceremony is to combine our bloodlines. It's is an old ceremony it's a tradition. hundreds of years ago different bloodlines were different packs. These bloodlines had different capabilities. For assemble one bloodline would have the ability to shift whenever their wolf wanted, others could only shift on a full moon. Other packs would have great strength when others would have speed and so on. Over the years pack members combined. When there was a mate from a different pack to an Alpha they would do a ceremony
"Axel? Axel? Where are you?" I walk in the front door of what Axel calls the packhouse. I need to tell him to cancel everything. I can't do this. "I am here. Why so loud? You know that we can hear better than humans can right? Everything okay?" Axel comes rushing out of his office rubbing his ears. When I realize the house is filled with pack members getting everything ready for the ceremony. I can feel my cheeks heat up from their eyes staring at me."No, it's not okay we need to talk." I know whisper to him, not that there is a point to it now that the whole house is looking at us. I walk up the stairs to our bedroom away from the staring eyes. "Kristy, are you going to tell me what is going on?" Axel asks running after me. I shut the door behind him."I can't do this." "What do you mean you can't do this? I know you are not a dress person but it is just for today""It's not that""Then what is it tell me. Did someone hurt you? Need me to kill
Waking up I feel reborn. Like I am a whole new person. Well, I kind of am. I get dressed and head downstairs to the kitchen where I found Axel and his beta Hunter I think his name is. They are stuffing their faces with the fresh waffles Ester made. It smells so good. "Goodmorning," I tell them while I go sit next to Axel and grab a warm waffle."Goodmorning gorgeous," Axel says and pecks my cheek."Hmm, these are some delicious waffles," I tell Ester with my mouth full."Thank you" she chuckles and joins us at the table with another plate of fresh waffles. I can see the steam coming from the waffles."Well, I am off to pack training," Axel says"Wait, I am coming with you," I tell Axel before getting up. When I see him stare confused at me."What do you mean you are coming with me?""To train?" I say confused. Axel and Hunter look at each other with frowned eyebrows before looking back at me."Women do not train," Hunter says still confu
