Finding out who had just fed me didn't even take long.
Just minutes after I was done eating, Stark appeared before me.
We stared at each other for some seconds before we finally got back to reality.
"I came to rescue you. Just hold on a minute." Stark said.
He moved behind me and started to untie the ropes.
"So it was you who had thrown food towards my direction?" I asked him as he continued working on the ropes.
"Yes, I figure you would need something to eat. Also to boost your energy for the escape." Stark replied.
He got me loose and held my hand as I got up from the chair.
My body started to achieve so I started with baby steps at first.
I got a hold of myself and ran with Stark.
Along the way, we almost got caught by several vampires.
All through every minute I spent with Stark in the vampires' den, I
57Men can really be so annoying sometimes.I don't have any time for all this love stuff anymore.What's final is final. I will give birth to and raise my baby on my own.I don't need a man beside me. I am strong on my own."Okay, you all should follow me." I said to the hunters.We all walked till we got closer and closer to the alpha's fortress.Once we were near enough, I stopped them from going any further."What? Why are we stopping here?" One of Stark's followers asked."It won't be right to just take you to the alpha's fortress directly. You all have to wait here while I proceed to speak to him and try to convince him to take your help." I explained to them."Okay, we'll stay right here and wait." Stark said.Since they seemed to all be fine with my decision, I put it into action.They waited for me a
58"You will not speak to your alpha in that manner Andra!" The alpha yelled at me."I'm trying to be as calm as I can my Lord. But you know it within yourself that we need their help. We don't stand a chance on our own now. It's not like before when we were more in number than the vampire." I explained."Leave my presence at once!" The alpha yelled.I wasn't a little girl to run away crying like some fairy tales you must have heard about. No, I am the Luna.I left the alpha's chamber and soon after, Stark was pushed out of the alpha's chambray by the werewolf who had captured him.Stark got thrown into a cage for animals and locked in.Lucky enough for him, it was a cage. He could receive air even though it would mostly be difficult to breathe in a cage where left over kills the alpha made sometimes were being kept in it. Not for eating of course.Why did the alga refus
59I've not really seen this side of the alpha.He changed to his human form and I followed suit.And I must say, it's quite nice to see him that way."Andra?" He called out, snapping me out of my thoughts."I've been calling your name for some time now. You've been smiling to yourself." The alpha said."Huh? No I wasn't." I disagreed with him."Yes you were. I saw it with my own eyes." He said."No, you were probably thinking about something else and thought I was smiling." I said to him."So you are saying that I have been thinking about you?" He asked.My cheeks flushed."Since when? I never said that." I replied, rushing my words."Oh, so you are saying that I wasn't thinking of you but you were thinking of me?" He said.Okay, this time, I could swear my entire face
60Stark decided to let it all go and then, since I got lost in thought and didn't pay attention to him at first, he started over again and explained the plan he had devised in detail.Stark sounded so much like a professional while he was explaining his plan.So much that I was sure that we had the upper hand at the battle."So? What do you two think?" Stark asked, waiting for both our opinions."I think your plan will do for now since we haven't made any by map yet." Stallone said to Stark.Stallone was trying to accept and also degrade Stark's plan at the same time.Stark knew better by now and I could see he was trying to control himself around Stallone.Stark wasn't ready to go into argument against Stallone and waste precious time over again."Your plan was amazing. I'm sure with this carefully thought out plan, we would win the battle." I said to Stark.
61To my surprise, as Stallone kept attacking stark, stark handled himself quite well.Stark wasn't exactly hitting back or anything. I mean he was, but soon stopped after realizing it had no effect on Stallone.Stark was dodging ever blow that came from Stallone like he was an expert.I was actually very impressed with what I was seeing. Soon enough Stallone stopped throwing punches."Hmm, impressive. You seem like a complete expert at dodging." Stallone said."Thank you for the comment." Stark replied."It's too bad, what we need on the battle ground are people who know how to throw punches. Not cowards who dodge from it all their lives." Stallone stated."The vampires!" A werewolf shouted."What the!" Another exclaimed and growled furiously as the first pushed him aside."The vampires!" The werewolf repeated.This time, he had alre
62"Stallone!" I screamed.I rushed to his aid immediately and I was on my knees before him right there.Stark finally reached where I was and even bent down with me.Apparently Stark had a doctor or rather, doctors, among his followers.Stark called out loudly for one of them and the doctor he had called for came right before us.The doctor placed his hand on some parts of Stallone to check his breathing or so.After carrying out some actions, the doctor looked at Stark and then at me."He won't be able to make it through this. It's better you say your last words with him before he dies." The doctor said."You can't possibly be serious!" I yelled."He... He is the alpha, nothing can happen to him! Not when the pack and I still need him!" I shouted again.Stark tried to call me down but I refused to be calmed.
Of course I would look and smell so filthy. I just returned from a battle.I went back into the bathroom and I had my bath.Looks like I will have to resume work tomorrow.After taking a bath that almost lasted an hour, I came out of the bathroom feeling like a new person.You know that new feeling, that feeling of clean freshness when you are just done bathing? That's exactly how I felt.The thought of the alpha's death still penetrated my mind.He had saved me from what could have been my last memory on earth.He really did loved me. Even after knowing that Stark was the one I love, he sacrificed his life for mine. He is truly a great alpha and a great companion.I like him for who he is.I just feel bad that I don't love him the way he loves me.I put on a night gown since it was almost night time again and sat on the bed.
"Hey, I just wanted to surprise you with something. No big deal about it." Stark said."Surprise me? Rumors are being spread falsely about you and your company. Rumors that said you've been stealing money from my company and also been engaging yourself in fraudulent practices." I explained, trying to calm myself."And you believed those rumors?" Stark asked me.People still stood there watching the both of us."No, I don't believe those rumors. And I don't think you would do a thing like that." I said to Stark.The question of how Stark knew I'd come here crossed my mind and so I asked him about it."Stark?" I said his name."Yes?" He answered."How did you know I would come here?" I asked him."That's a good question. It's also a very simple one if I may say so myself." Stark replied."Just shut up and answer the question." I said, clearly showing
