Alpha's Ballet Mate novel Chapter 13

After fifteen minutes of brushing out my hair and French braiding it I went back to Theo. "Even I don't take that long to get ready." He said with a smirk. "Well when you have hair that is in a bunch of knots it takes a while to get them out." At that he laughed. "I get it."

He came over by me and put his arm around my waist and I put mine around his. As we walked out of the hospital I started getting dizzy. It passed as soon as it came. Once Theo helped me into the car he got in and started driving. Only he started driving in the opposite direction of the pack house.

"Where are we going?" Theo just flashed me a quick smile. "You and I are going to have a picnic. This is one of the last nice days before it gets cold. I want to take advantage of that." He did have a point. The sun was completely out with no cloud to be seen.

About an hour's drive from the pack was a lake. It was a pure crystal blue with light little waves. Theo offered me his hand and I took it. In the other hand he had a basket and a blanket. Once we reached a spot he laid the blanket out and we sat down.

Out of the basket he pulled out some fruit, sandwiches, soda, and cookies. Like actual hand baked cookies. Chocolate chip ones no less. "Did you make the cookies?" He offered me a smile. "Abbie, I might be a good cook but I am one hell of a baker." I laughed a bit. "Who would have thought an Alpha such as you could bake." I teased as I ate a grape.

"I'm full of surprises my dear Luna." He said as he caressed my cheek. A surge of confidence rushed through me and I placed a kiss on his lips. His lips had a sense of urgency as they moved against mine. Three weeks was too long.

The kiss seamed to last forever, but also too short at the same time as the sound of gun shots forced us apart. Theo automatically stood up and pushed me behind him as he faced where the sound had come from.

Out of the trees emerged five people. They were in jeans and light jackets but could easily move. The guns they held were ones that hunters carried. "Leave now. We have no business with you. We can all give our separate ways in peace." Say what you want about the whole werewolf hunter thing, but we never attack them unless it is in self-defense.

The road was bumpy the whole way there. Wherever there was. The wolfsbane was heavy in my system. Everything just feels like lead. Even my thoughts felt like it. The men driving the van paid be attention to me and u was glad for that. Maybe I could escape. Maybe I could fight. The wolfsbane though reminded me that it would be near impossible.

This wouldn't have been a problem if I had just mated with Theo. Evey was MIA because of the wolfsbane, but I knew she wasn't dead. When would this end? I just wanted out! Begging and pleading would be futile because they would never let me go. Hunters were vicious when they were going after what they want.

The van jerked to a stop throwing me to the back of the cage. The door opened and I was roughly picked up. Moving with wolfsbane was worse than laying there. Every nerve was on fire. All I registered was the red bricks. Roughly I was thrown on the floor of the cabin. The men who brought me here started kicking my stomach.

"Now listen. We are going to ask you some questions. Answer them and you'll get a quick death. Hold out and well, you will wish you were dead." Why did they think I had information? Why would they think I would tell them? "First question. Why were you with the alpha of the Snow Moon pack?" Theo. I would not betray him. I couldn't. I just stayed silent and a punch came to my face.
