When I wake up, I realize that I'm in someone's arms. At first I think they're Tyler's - who else could it be? - before I remember that Marius sold me out.
I jump out of those arms way too quickly, and end up falling on the ground.
The one clumsy werewolf.
"Are you okay?" A deep voice asks me.
"Oh, fine." I tell him sarcastically.
"Give me attitude again, and I'll make sure you don't wake up until next year." The gruff man says to me.
"I'm pretty certain your Alpha would be kind of mad if I'm unconscious for a year. Well, actually, I take that back. He'd probably award you $5000 and make you the new Beta."
"There is already a new Beta."
"Oh, right. The traitor Marius. I guess I shouldn't be surprised he betrayed us for a better position." I say rudely.
"Will you shut up?" The man asks, not so nicely.
"I will, but first, tell me your name." I command.
"My name is Ian," He says gruffly, "The real reason Marius joined our side."
And before I can figure out what he means, I'm knocked out again.
******************
When I again awaken, I'm strapped to a bed. I'm disoriented for a moment, before I remember that I've been kidnapped.
And betrayed.
Which, of course, gets me thinking about Marius, and new guy Ian. What did he mean, he was the real reason? Nothing makes you betray a pack except... mates.
Holy moly, they're mates!
So now I feel bad about being mad, because, what was he to do? Your mate is your mate, evil or not. And Ian must have more power than Marius, which means Marius has to be bad.
That makes loads more sense.
"Oh good, your awake. I was wondering if maybe Ian hit you too hard." I hear Marks voice.
"Ew, why are you here?" I ask before I think.
I feel something hit me in the cheek, pushing my head into the bed. Did that bast- bad man just punch me?
"Did you just hit me?! I don't know if you're aware of this, but I am technically your Luna, and punching me is against multiple laws. But then again, so is half of the other stuff you've done. Never mind." I swear they drugged me or something.
"Let me set some rules for you. A, talk back and you will be punished. B, try to run away and you will be punished, C, ask for any help from any member and you will be punished, D,-"
"Breath air and you will be punished, got it." Oh, wait.
"That's it. DAVID! BRING MS. COLLICK TO THE DUNGEON PLEASE!"
Well crap.
**************
The dungeon was different for one reason and one reason only- Mark wasn't there. It was the same temperature, same bed, same being strapped down.
But now it was David who stared at me creepily.
I had been lying here for hours, waiting for something bad to happen. And finally, it does.
He stalks toward me and I internally cringe. I know who this man is, one of the strongest warriors in the pack. I close my eyes, knowing that if I watch I will be likely to throw up. I want to be brave, but I can't.
I'm picked up from the bed and thrown on the ground, right after which he starts kicking me.I curl up, protecting my stomach and chest, but he starts kicking my head. I groan, almost unconscious, hoping that I fall asleep soon and will be able to not feel the pain.
One last hard kick and I'm gone from this world.
*************
Tyler's P.O.V.
I stomp around Quinn's pack house, barely keeping control of my wolf. How stupid these members are, losing a Luna! How do you just let a Luna out of your sight?
"Tyler, Marius says he knows something about May leaving, do yo-"
"Send him here NOW!" I shout at Quinn. I feel bad about yelling at my friend, but this is my mate we're talking about.
I see Marius walk toward me slowly, almost dragging his feet.
"Tell me where she is this instant, or you will never see the light of day again.
"Look, all I can tell you is, she's gone of her own accord. She asked me to help her escape. I guess she isn't as forgiving as you thought." Marius smirks at me, and Before I can help myself, my wolf takes control and I spring at Marius.
**************
May's P.O.V.
I hear quiet chatter going on around me, so I try to stay still to eavesdrop.
"We can't just beat her up every time she opens her mouth. She won't last and killing her is not going to be helpful."
"I need her to be strong and willing to fight. She just let David hurt her this morning. If we're going to get her on our side, and make her fight, she's gotta toughen up."
"There are other ways of doing that."
"If I didn't know better, I would say you feel for her. I will only tell you this once, so listen well- you work for me. You pledged your life to me, and I will use it. Right now, she is the enemy, and will be treated as such. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir, I'm sorry."
"It's fine, go make sure she wakes up soon. I need to talk to her." Oh boy, lucky me, another talk with Mark.
"Ms. Collick? Ms Collick? Wake up" And, once again, I'm slapped on the face.
I'm starting to think these people have a violence tendency.
"I'm up, I'm up."
"Good. Alpha Mark wants to speak to you."
"Alpha Mark? Oh, you mean the backstabbing, lying, little piece of poop that wants to kill me and my mate."
"I suggest you don;t say that to him."
"Gee, why would that be? His awful habit of becoming violent? Or the way he seems to think every word out of my mouth is coming straight from the devil?"
She just shakes her head and leaves the room as Mark walks in.
"Hello May. I have a lot to tell you, so please do not say anything until the end. Got it?"
"Got it." Sadly.
"Good. I'm planning an attack on that pack Tyler's with. The whole pack will go, thinking that they are saving Tyler from being kidnapped. I will kill Tyler at the battle, telling the pack he died trying to get to us. I will give him a heroic death. Then, I will take control of the pack, since Tyler never had any children. I will then mate you until you give me a son. When that has happened, I will kill you too. I will raise this son to be just like me, like an Alpha should be, and no one will stop us. We will soon defeat all the packs, and be known forever as the greatest Alphas that have ever lived. After that, there will be no more humans populating the Earth. Werwolves will be the only ones."
Oh. My. God. He's crazier than I thought.
"Um, a couple of things. One, couldn't Isobel be Alpha? Two, why in the hell would I ever let you mate me?"
"Oh dear child, Isobel, Harry, Quinn, Charlie, they'll all die as well. And of course you'll mate with me. Fr one simple reason- I'm stronger than you." He grins evilly at me and gets up to leave.
"Don't worry, if I have it my way, you'll see Tyler in less than a week.
