Chapter 8: I'm taking what's mine
Chapter 8: I'm taking what's mine
Me and Nile were now heading in the forest. Just a few hours with that man had felt like hell. That place
was sophicating me, making me depressed than ever.
Also I wasn't feeling the best knowing that my family was suffering because of me.
I just really hoped that my plan worked.
"Where did you leave it Luna?" Nile asked me.
"Just near the clearing." I pointed out as we reached the lake.
Well honestly I wasn't lying, I had left my camera there but to my luck it was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did you leave it exactly?" Nile asked hesitantly.
"Umm it was here, the last time I saw it." I said nearing closer and closer to the lake.
"Hey what's there?" I asked Nile pointing infront of me in the air and just as he came closer, I took my
chance and kicked him where the sun doesn't shine.
"Tell him if he wants me back then bring my family first!" I yelled as I jumped in the water and made my
way to the other side.
When I reached there, my heart was beating and my hands were shaking. It was so hard to believe that
I had been able to do this.
It looked like no one was in the cabin. The lights were closed as well as the door. The hopelessness I
felt at the moment was unexplainable.
All the time I had imagined this moment was that as soon as I will reach there, I will have my parents to
hug.
But there was no time for that, so I quickly took out the emergency key from under the money plant that
my mom had informed me about and opened the door.
I ran into the kitchen, trying to find the landline when suddenly my eyes fell on a note on the fridge.
I recognised my mom's writing. She had written the address of a hotel where the police had moved
them into once they reported our missing and underneath the note was the number of the police.
My hands were shaking as I reached the landline and dialed the number.
"Hello..."
........
It had been ten minutes now that the police had arrived. I had explained to them what had happened.
They were now surrounding my house as we waited for Arlos to arrive with my family.
The police had talked me into going back to the city with them as according to the myth, no one who
had ventured before into that territory had been returned.
But something in my heart told me that he would come and we soon found out that I was right.
Within the next five minutes, I spotted his huge frame entering the lake from my window.
All the color had drained from my face, my heart was running a marathon and my whole body was
shaking but what made me feel a little good was that I spotted some guards behind him that were
bringing my family.
I quickly ran towards the kitchen, grabbed a knife and then opened the door to the cabin. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
.......
I stood in the middle as he came out of the lake. His blue eyes never left mine as he took off his
drenched shirt and threw it on the side.
His fists were clenched and his eyes were fuming with rage.
"Leena." He growled.
"Arlos." I acknowledged, trying my best not to stutter.
"Come back here this instant!" He growled, his voice echoing through out the forest.
"Give me back my family first." I replied.
"You are leaving me with no choice then." He said.
"Kill them." He said turning towards his men and pointing at my family who were now sobbing.
But I wouldn't let that happen.
"If you dare touch a hair on them, I will kill myself right here and right now!" I yelled as I bought the
knife onto my wrist.
In the few hours that I had been forced to spend with him, I had realised that the last thing he wanted
me was to kill myself. So like they say, I used his weakness as my power.
I was right. Because as soon as I said that his eyes turned black. And although, I had seen them turn
the darkest of blues, I had never seen them turn black.
"Don't you fucking dare!" He growled at me.
"Let them go then, they have nothing to do with this." I yelled.
"Let them go." He instructed his men.
"But alpha..." One of them tried to interject.
"I said let them fucking go!" He boomed.
And within the next seconds, I saw my family arriving towards me.
I felt tears forming into my eyes as I saw their smiles.
But I know this was not over, not till the police had arrested that psychopath.
"Arrest them!" I yelled.
......
And within the next second all the police men had come out of their hiding places.
And it was then that I felt that happiness crept into me as I made my way forward to hug my family
whom I had made suffer just because of my stupid wish.
But my happiness was short lived, when I saw all the police men bow their heads towards Arnold.
The leader who had promised to reunite me with my family stepped forward, his head still bowed and
his whole body shaking.
"I'm...so sorry....alpha...I thought....it was the....rouges." He stuttered.
"And what the hell would rouges be doing on my territory?" Arlos boomed.
I didn't understand a word they were saying but all I knew was that I was in deep deep trouble.
"I'm...so...sorry....alpha...it won't....happen again." He apologised.
"I'll deal with you later, I have some business to complete at the moment." Replied Arlos as he once
again shifted his gaze towards me.
"Don't you dare come close to me." I screamed as I backed up towards the wall and tried to grab the
knife that I had left on the floor.
But he was quick, because in the next second I felt him pick me up in bridal style and the tingles erupt.
"I think that's enough for today." He whispered in my ear as he started to make his way towards the
lake.
I felt tears blur my vision as I saw Greyson, Mike and Amelia being stopped by his men when they tried
to save me.
"Should we bring them as well Alpha?" One of his men asked Arlos.
"Erase their memory and let them go."
"I am taking what's mine." He whispered.
