Alpha's Ballet Mate novel Chapter 19

Theo was starting to move towards the door to leave. After a year without him I really didn't want him to. Slowly I reached out me hand to grab his arm. "What is it Abbie?" I tried to talk but no words came out. In the end I just tilted my head. Theo seemed to understand because he smiled and removed his shirt. Soon after I felt the bed dip next to me and the strongest, most secure arms wrapped around me. "I will always be here Abbie." The words drifted away and for the first time in a year I actually fell asleep.

Voices in the room woke me up in the late morning. "Baby! I haven't seen you in a week." It was that woman Louise. "Louise, I've told you before and I will tell you again. It was a mistake." I was right. He had moved on with her. For just a moment her green eyes met mine. "Have fun explaining the fact that you screwed another woman." With a snobby girl turn she walked away and Theo closed the door.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to find out like that." Did he mean for me to find out at all? That bitch obviously did. I just shrugged to him as he came over. "Why aren't you going off on me?" Maybe it has to do with the fact for a year I was silent. Or maybe it's because I know he deserves someone better. I ended up just shrugging. "I'm sorry Abbie. I was stressed and needed a drink. I ended up drunk and sleeping with her."

My eyes caught avoid of pepper and a pen on the nightstand. I reached for it and wrote something down. It's fine. It doesn't matter what you do because you need someone strong to be your Luna. I handed him the paper and he just came closer to me. His hand caressed my cheek. "It would take a strong person to be tortured like that for a year and still not give up information. Whatever you think, I know you are stronger then you think. I will remind you of that everyday of forever."

Even though a part of me was hurt that he slept with another woman I still loved him. Slowly I brought my lips to his. Were they softer then when I was taken? Or had it just been that long since I remembered that last kiss? "I'm going to leave you for a few minutes so you can get ready." With a slight kiss my forehead he left.

As I took a shower and then put on my clothes I realized how much weight I actually lost. The tank was baggy. Even through that I could count my ribs. I pulled my hair back and went to find Theo. Suddenly I was pulled to the side. Actually it was more of a push. I was then greeted to the green eyes of Louise.

Always.

We were waiting for some blood results to come back. Everywhere I turned people stared at me. It was bad enough that some were staring because I was their Luna. Others stared because of the scars and bruises. It wasn't like I could hide them.

The doctor came in and had something in her hands. "The wolfsbane is almost out of her system which is good. It's the weight loss I would be worried about. It is clear that she wasn't fed much. That combined with the torture contributed to the weight loss. She seems to be well hydrated though." Yeah, don't need to worry about a hydrated wolf running from you as long as you spike the water with wolfs bane.
