A narrow escape

It's been a week I am staying here in the pack and Rick didn't met me even once !

Did he lost interest in me or what ?

This distance was meant for me to realise, I do love him and not him to realise that I don't deserve him !

No, he can't loose interest in me, if that was the case he'd lost it a long time ago, when I got married to his brother !

May be he wants me to realise how much I love him and want him close to me.

I am not liking this distance between us now.

Ok agreed, he did few horrible things, but he did that only for one reason; the love he have for me !

And letting him dominate me and keeping me safe isn't a bad thing !

All he wants for me is, safety from the bad guys. And so what, if he wants me to stay away from all the guys ?

Anyway, I love him only and I don't want anyone else, then if, not talking to other males makes him feel good and loved, I don't think there's any harm in it for me !

Everyone here is so in love with their mates.

No female is sad or feeling bad for their mate always dominating them.

All of them love their respective mates and are very happy in their lives; except for me !

I am not sad nor am I happy.

I am just stuck in between.

I am away from my mate...

Is he really my mate yet ?

We haven't even confessed our love formally nor have he marked me so, I guess calling us mates won't fit in the concept.

But I want to be with him now, enough is enough !I am craving him.

His presence, his care, his possessiveness, his love and everything !

I need him not only in a friendly way, I want him as my partner, my husband !

I want to feel him on me !

Not only kissing my forehead !

I want to share the wedding bed with him...

Wedding bed ?

How am I supposed to share the wedding bed with a man, whom I am not married to ?

We need to do something about it soon and get started with our life together.

I've had enough with the dry and lifeless life now.

I need love and I totally deserve it after having such a terrible fate till now !

And not only me, but he too deserves all the love in the world.

And this feeling of getting to know, how he'd feel on me is getting stronger day by day !

From the day I heard Katherine and Daniel making love, I am craving for Rick so bad !

I am even getting the dreams of him touching me and taking me and making me his forever !

But, I can't feel anything because, I've never felt anything like that ever.

But the noises Katherine made that day, I am sure she was experiencing the best pleasure in the world and I too want to experience it now and that too soon !

How do I call Rick now ?

I was the one who asked him to let me stay away from him, so I must be the one to tell him this.

I'll ask Dani to convey my message to Rick that, come and take me back to where I belong; in his arms !

I got up early today or shall I say, I didn't slept at all the whole night !

I again dreamed of Rick making love to me but, again I couldn't know how it's gonna feel, when we will actually do it ?

I waited for the sun to rise out completely before I knocked at Katharine's door.

Yes, I am staying with Cathsia now, away from Katharine and Daniel's chamber !

From the day I heard Katharine making those erotic noises, I couldn't be with them anymore.

I would have went crazy listening to their such arousing noises !

Their noises aroused me way more than the love making of Petric and Jeremy...

Shane's did !

I've seen them doing it every single night, but their visual couldn't arouse me to the extent Katherine's mere noises did !

I shifted with Cathsia and she told me many things about the wolves and the differences between the pack and Robert.

Here I am standing infront of Katherine's door and wondering is it still early to knock at her door to mere tell them that, my lover have such control over me without being with me that, I am craving him and need him to take me with him !

But, I wiped away the confusion and knocked.

Knock knock

" Good morning, Luna.

How are you today ?

Is something wrong ?

You never knocked this early ever before. "

Katherine asked confused and concerned.

" Um...

Is Daniel awake yet ? "

I asked hesitantly.

" Awake ? "

She scoffed as if I have cracked the best joke of the millenia !

Then I got why she thought my question as a joke,

" He already went for a run around the pack territory.

Why ? Do you need anything ? "

Katherine asked.

" What ?

HE went on the run ?

But isn't it the duty of the Deltas ? "

I asked confused.

" Yes, it is and they went too.

But as a the Beta, Dani has the responsibility of Alpha in his absence.

And last night, Robert ran away and Dani is suspecting that, he left the pack to join Alpha Alex's pack so, the security must be increased ! "

Katherine told me.

" Why would he do that ? "

I asked in disbelief.

" Because he wants to be the Alpha ! "

Katherine told me.

" It doesn't make any sense !

He won't become the Alpha there.

Alpha is only one and why would Alpha Alex give him his authority, for which he had faught with how many competitors, who knows ? "

I said.

" He just doesn't want to accept the authority of Alpha Cedric, he can be the Beta anywhere else but here ! "

Katherine said shaking her head irritated.

" He is so sick !

How can he leave his own father's pack for someone else and there too he won't be the Alpha ? "

I said.

" He is really a sick bastard !

That's why, Dani went to check the surrounding for any potential danger from Alpha Alex's pack.

Well what did you wanted to talk about with him ? If you want something, I can send any Delta to bring that for you. "

Katherine said.

" You can order the Deltas ?

I thought the females are... "

I asked confused.

" Not every female can !

I am the mate of their Beta.

I hold the authority of being the Beta in his absence, that's why. "

Katherine told me.

" Oh, I didn't know that !

Let it be.

The safety of the pack is the most important thing to focus on right now. "

I said.

" Yes, you are right.

Um...

If you won't feel offended, can I say something ? "

Katherine asked hesitantly.

" Katherine, you are my friend as well, don't act so formally with me, please ! "

I said.

" I am sorry, Luna.

But this is something that may offend you. "

Katherine said.

" Ok fine, tell me. "

I said.

" Um...

The environment here may get dangerous.

You aren't a wolf, you can't defend a Wolf's attack. Alpha is also not here.

The wolves don't go to the human habitation, I guess you would be more safe in your villa than here...

Um...

Please... Please forgive me, if I offended you. "

Katherine said quickly.

" No, are you crazy ?

Why would it offend me ?

You are right, the safest place for me right now is with Rick, that's the reason I came here for in the first place !

I wanted Dani to tell this to Rick that come and take me with him ! "

I told her.

" Oh, I can do that for you !

It's not a big a deal.

Wait, I'll tell him right away... "

Katherine said.

" You are gonna call him ?

I don't have his number ! "

I said getting jealous.

Rick gave his number to Katharine and not me ?

" We have our own calling system ! "

Katherine said winking at me.

She closed her eyes and I waited for few seconds. Ans before she opened her eyes,

" Mumma, save me ! Mumma ! "

Noah started screaming for her.

We snapped our heads towards his call and saw some big wolf had Noah in his mouth !

What the hell ?

Is he gonna eat Noah ?

Oh god, please don't let him hurt Noah, I love him and he haven't done anything to deserve this !

" Mumma !

Ahh...

It hurts Mumma, please save me... "

Noah was screaming in pain and panic.

Katherine ran to his way and screamed,

" Turn baby, turn ! "

What ?

She wants the wolf to turn back ?

What is she...

And Noah turned into a black wolf and slipped from the big one's mouth.

Katherine turned into a big brown wolf and snapped at the wolf who was trying to hurt Noah.

They were fighting !

God, the wolves fight bad.

Both of them were getting injured.

Noah came running to me and turned to human.

I picked him up in my arms and caressed him, he was scared to death.

I was soothing him, but the scene infront of my eyes was making my legs shake.

Katherine was getting hurt but she was hurting the bad wolf too.

All the Deltas were on the run and so no male was at the pack, right now.

The other Omegas turned and helped their substitute Beta in killing the bad wolf.

I was trying to Noah calm down and out of nowhere...

" Hello, Luna.

Looks like, the pack members are too busy in saving themselves and forgot about their Luna !

Oh, poor Luna, let me help you, with that... "

Robert wispered in my ear from behind.

His evil and the monstrous look made me flinch and I stepped away from him, with Noah in my arms.

I must save Noah at cost of my life.

He came running to me; his Luna with the trust that I'd save him from the bad wolves, I can't let him down !

" I am here for YOU Luna, not for that dog !

It's all a trap in which all of the stupid pack members got trapped !

How easy it was to distract the Deltas and the Beta to go away and distract the Omegas by attracting the most loved pup of the clan, to CORNER YOU ! "

Robert said amused.

He smirked with victory !

Oh, god.

What should I do now ?

I can't overrun him nor can I overpower him anyhow.

I so wish Rick was here with me now !

He reached out his hand to touch me and I stepped back and started running for Katherine's chamber.

But I know he'll catch me with this speed !

He won't even need to run to get me, he can catch me walking !

" Noah, baby run to your chamber as fast as you can, ok ?

Turn if you have to, but run like your life depends on that and close the door shut once you get in and don't open it unless your Mumma or Daddy asks you to, ok ? "

I told him.

He nodded and I let him on the ground.

He turned and ran to his chamber and no one chased him !

That means Robert wasn't lying, attack on him was mere a distraction !

Robert started chasing me and I ran as fast as I can.

I don't know in which direction I am running ?

I don't know if I am still in our territory or did I crossed it already ?

I can here him laughing cruelly and his footsteps crushing the dry leaves under his feet.

I didn't looked back and continued running.

Somewhere a wolf howled and I don't know who was it but, it sounded familiar and I am wondering if it's Rick or Dani may be.

What if they are looking for me ?

Shall I call out for them ?

Or will it be a stupidity and inviting the unknown enemy at an unknown place ?

I guess I should...

" Gotcha ! "

I gasped as Robert appeared infront of me out of nowhere !

I was so surprised by his sudden appearance infront of me, I lost balance and almost fell.

He grabbed me by my arm and dragged to the same direction I was heading that only means one thing...

" I am so glad you don't even know your own territory, Luna !

You actually helped me and crossed more than half distance to Alex's territory and away from yours ! "

Robert said laughing out loud.

" You...

You are the member of my pack ! "

I said trying to get rid of his tight grip on my hand.

" I am sorry ?

Did you just said, I am the member of your pack ? My dear Luna, I wasn't ever the member of YOUR pack, ever !

I've told this to your stupid lover a million times, but he never gave up on me !

Now, just shut up and hurry up, I need to take you out of this territory, we are so close to his territory... "

Robert said dragging me even harder with him.

There are few men standing a distance away from us, I can't see their faces but, they aren't too far for sure.

One of them literally yelled at Robert from his place,

" You fucking son of a bitch !

You dragged the LUNA ?

It's out of our laws to hurt the Omegas and the pups, you dared dragg the LUNA herself ?

You take her back right now or you aren't coming in my territory ever ! "

The man growled angrily.

" Oh, come on Alex, don't be such a scaredy cat ! Fuck the laws, I don't care about them.

And I am not giving her back !

I've done what not to make that bastard Cedric kneel before me and now that I've got the chance, you want me to give that up ?

Huh !

In your dreams ! "

Robert said convincing him to let him drag me to them.

Oh, so this is Alex, the Alpha everyone was talking about.

He is quite a roughly built; wolf... Man... Whoever he is, to be this sensible !

" We don't fuck the laws or the laws will fuck us !

If you really want to be the part of our pack, you must respect the laws.

Now I see, why did your own father didn't wanted you to be the Alpha wholeheartedly ! "

Alex said snarling.

" Don't you dare drag my father between this, Alex ! "

Robert snarled back at him.

" Well, this all is happening because of your father, so that means he can't stay away from the conversation ! "

Alex said coldly.

Oh-oh !

I guess a war is about to happen here.

The real Alpha and the desperate wanna-be Alpha are so close to cross the dangerous line of anger and provoking and are at the verge of picking up a major fight.

Please, don't drag me between you guys !

I've got nothing to do with it.

Robert was dragging me closer to them and both the males were yelling at one another.

We reached the males and Robert left my arm which he was holding so tight, that if he had held it a few more moments, it'd had came off it's place !

The moment he left it, I felt the blood flowing through it painfully.

Guessing from the comfort the males were standing, we are definitely deep inside his territory.

The males were screaming and yelling and suddenly when, the males were about to kill eachothers, I heard a scream from behind my back,

" Run back to us Luna, run ! "

Katherine yelled her lungs out and without thinking for a moment, I started running towards them.

Nobody chased me except for Robert !

I was trying my best to run fast towards my pack. They were not far away from me, but the fact that Robert was chasing me made the distance seem way too much for me to cover !

" Just cross the Pine tree Luna, our territory starters from there and they won't chase you in our territory !

Run fast ! "

Katherine yelled again.

I am trying got damit !

I was away from the Pine tree and the gray wolf started running towards me, I guess it's Dani !

Oh, he is coming to get me in Alex's territory, I must run fast if, I don't want the Alex's Deltas to hunt him down for entering their territory without their Alpha's permission !

I speed up and Robert slowed down because he was trying to get help from the males standing behind my back to chase me,

" You fucking bastards, get her ! "

Robert yelled at them.

" We already told you, touching a Luna; doesn't matter if she is the mate of your Alpha or any Alpha in the world, is against the laws !

And we can't help you. "

Alex said calmly.

" At least hunt the Beta who entered your territory ! "

Robert yelled with frustration.

And they ran to get him but, I was so close to him that, I grabbed his fur tight and he turned his huge head picking me off the ground and getting on his back.

He turned and he started running towards our territory.

We weren't far away from ours so, we reached our side before they could even reach close to the border line !

The Deltas at our border growled high and snarled at them and they stopped in their territory.

Katherine turned and Dani ran me to the pack where, Rick arrived the moment we reached the pack, relief in his eyes to see me safe.

Dani sat down and I jumped off his back and ran to him and hugged him tightly.

He literally crushed me into his arms.

" I am so sorry, baby. "

I wispered.

" No, I am so sorry, I wasn't there when you needed me !

Please, forgive me.

I am so sorry, love, I am so sorry M... "

He whispered back in my ears.

Then he kissed me as if no body was there watching us kissing in public !

I am not sure what happened, because I had my eyes closed.

But when I opened them, I saw everyone had turned around and faced away from us.

After it felt like forever, he let my lips go and hugged me tigh in his arms.

" Noah ! "

I said breathlessly.

We ran to Katharine's chamber to meet Noah.

" Noah, baby open the door. "

I said desperately, wanting to see him safe.

But no response came.

" Baby, it's me your Uncle Cedric.

You don't have anyone to fear from, open the door darling. "

Rick said.

He still didn't opened the door.

I suddenly remembered something.

" He won't open the door like this.

Katherine, ask him to open the door. "

I said.

" Let me in, baby.

Please open the door.

It's me your Mumma. "

Katherine came infront of me and said lovingly.

He opened the door and hugged her tight to her waist.

She picked him up and kissed him all over and held him close to her heart.

" You alright baby ?

Mumma was busy saving Luna, so she couldn't come to you earlier, I am so sorry baby.

You alright ?

Why didn't you opened the door ? "

Katherine asked him concerned.

" Luna told me not to open the door unless you or Daddy ask me to.

And I am alright just, few teeth marks on me.

The injuries healed up.

Is Luna safe ?

Where is she ? "

Noah asked.

" I am here, love ! "

I came forward.

He ran to me and hugged me.

I picked him up and kissed him all over and he kissed me back.

" Thank you Luna, for saving me from uncle Robert ! "

Noah said thanking me.

" You don't need thank me baby, if he had hurted you, I would never have been able to forgive myself for that !

I am glad that you aren't hurt and I am very proud that you listened to me and didn't opened the door. "

I said, genuinely proud of him.

He kissed me again on my cheeks and I can feel someone is getting jealous !

I looked at Rick and he was glaring at Noah.

Oh, come on now, he is just a little baby !

" Wait, Robert was gonna hurt Noah ? "

Cedric asked after we sat down and gulped a huge glass of water.

" Actually, he wanted me and so he created all this situation and we acted as he wanted us to.

He ran away at night to creat suspense and all the Deltas along with Beta ran away from the pack for making rounds.

Then, some wolf attacked Noah to distract all the Omegas so, that he could corner me and take me to Alex's pack ! "

I told him.

" He told you that ? "

Daniel asked surprised.

" Yes.

And he even succeeded in his plan.

He got me in Alex's territory but, thanks to Dani he got me out of there ! "

I said grateful of him.

" The moment I returned to the pack from the run, Kath told me that she saw Noah getting inside the chamber, but she couldn't find Luna anywhere, so we chased her scent and reached there.

She really do have a very strong scent Alpha ! "

Daniel admitted.

" Enough ! "

Rick said getting possessive.

He then turned to me,

" Jeni, I need you to come with me to the villa.

It isn't like I don't trust them with your safety, but Robert is an asshole and I don't trust him.

So, you'd be safe with me. "

Cedric said grabbing my hand in his warmly.

" I knocked at Katharine's door for Dani to tell you to take me with you, when that wolf attacked Noah and everything changed ! "

I said.

" Yes, I know.

Katherine contacted me and so I ran as fast as I could to save you, but I was late !

Thank you, Dani.

I can't...

You don't know... "

Cedric said patting Dani's back.

" You don't have to thank me for anything, it was my duty to save her life at cost of mine.

It's nothing unusual for me to do ! "

Daniel said denying the credit Rick gave him.

" Yes, but you saved MY life by saving her's !

I owe you one.

And I don't know how am I ever gonna repay you for this Dani ! "

Cedric said getting emotional.

" You are insulting our friendship too Rick, don't use such language please, it hurts me to listen to it ! "

Daniel said grabbing his other hand.

Rick let go of me and they hugged.

We then left for the villa.

Rick ran me towards our home and he stopped a few metres away and turned and we walked.

Cathy welcomed us and we had our dinner.

I don't know what, but there was something different in Rick's eyes today, which I've never seen before !

Love ?

Lust may be ?

I don't know but there's something different !
