His head snaps to me and I see three long scars run from his hairline to his chin. “You had better watch what you say to the Alpha, he may have chosen you to be his Luna, but he won’t tolerate insults.” “Perfect. Thank you for the information.
Any idea when his wannabe Alpha-ness is going to grace me with his presence? I’d rather get this rejection over quickly.” I try to sound bored, but I need to keep him talking, and insulting his Alpha seems to get him to speak the most. “Where are we?
I looked forever to find your hideout and could never come across it, but that is probably a witch thing isn’t it?” I’m not even going to hide that I was looking for them. They knew I had people with me and guarding me, so I have to assume they knew why I was in the area.
“You’re not as dumb and innocent as people think are you?”
“I wouldn’t say I’ve given any reason for people to think I am dumb. A sixteen year old qualifying and going to college does not scream stupid to me, how about you?”
He huffs a single laugh and goes back to whatever he is doing at the table with his back to me.
“Where are Robbie and Tyler?” I ask just to keep the conversation going.
“Robbie is probably still on assignment at the college. Tyler is dealing with his loss.” He looks back over his shoulder at me. “You managed to make a lot of waves in a very short amount of time.”
“I have that effect on people. I tend to be annoyingly in the way. I still think Tyler should have rejected Janice, it would have saved him the trouble he’s going through now. She was selfish and allowed herself to be manipulated and used apparently. No one deserves a mate like that.”
“The Alpha gets what he wants, so unless you want to die, you let him have it.” He shrugs like that is a reasonable explanation going back to his task.
“That is stupid. Why am I here and when can I leave?”
“You were told. The Alpha has chosen you as his Luna. He’s been watching you for months and has decided that you have whatever he is looking for.” Another shrug.
“Yeah, I am going to pass on that. I am not his Luna or his mate and he certainly is no true Alpha the way he acts. I’m not interested.”
“You don’t seem to understand, it’s not a choice. He will keep you here until you voluntarily become his Luna or he will keep you here and forcefully mark and mate with you as his Luna. Either way he chose you and he’s not one to be denied.”
“Why does he want to mate with me? He can mate with anyone and produce an heir.”
“That is not my job to know, but my guess is you’re strong and intelligent. You can fight from what I was able to see and he wants all of those qualities in his offspring.”
I decided to change the topic for now. I don’t want to mate with Mike and just the thought makes my empty stomach curdle with disgust.
“So, who’s my roommate?” I nod towards the pile of torn and dirty material. Now that I am waking up and whatever they gave me is wearing off I can smell a living being over there. Still not sure if it’s a good thing or bad thing that the person is alive though.
“She was the daughter of an Alpha whose pack we took over. She was the Luna of choice until we found you. With her Alpha blood she would produce strong heirs as well, but she is taking too long to produce a child. The Alpha wants an heir soon.”
“So I’m here because Wannabe can’t get her pregnant? That doesn’t bode well for his reputation.”
“It is, of course, something to do with her, not our Alpha. She has been difficult and I believe she’s not getting pregnant on purpose.”
Really?! These guys are stupid if they really believe that, but I will keep that to myself. I just hope they haven’t done too much damage to her.
