Chapter 52: Chapter Fifty Two
Lily POV
Hours ticked by slowly and I lost all sense of time, I gave up any hope of ever getting out of this room. Damien didn’t allow anyone in the room after that night.
Damien would come in and try to get me to eat, but I would refuse. I could feel his sadness through the bond, which only angered me more.
He put me in this situation and he can take me out of it, yet he hasn’t and probably won’t. Natalia has kept me company, even Callie talking to me through the mind-link. I never really paid much attention, too lost in my thoughts about how everything turned horribly wrong.
How he could accuse us of doing something Layla had no memory of. She didn’t even know what his mother looked like. I could feel her thoughts plaguing her as well, as she tried to remember anything, tried to recall every little detail of that night in question, but she only remembers seeing Ryker and hearing a noise outside. Nothing other than that.
Hearing the door locks turning, I look to the door expecting to find Damien entering. My face is not even hiding my shock when I see Tabitha rush in with Natalia.
“We have to be quick before he gets back,” Tabitha says, rushing to my side and undoing the restraints while Natalia does the same on her side.
My muscles aching from barely being used as I stand up. Tabitha wraps an arm around my waist pulling me against her and I feel Natalia pulling jeans over my bare legs before she undoes the ties that hold the hospital gown together.
Pulling it down my arms and I am standing topless in front of them. Tabitha helps her lift the shirt over my head while letting me lean on her.
“Quick, we need to hurry” Natalia says, going over and opening the door and I suddenly feel the mind-Link open up. Callie’s voice running through my head.
“I’m on my way” I hear her say before Tabitha tell’s her to hurry. Getting to the stairs, I looked down at them, worried about how they were going to help me walk down them, without all of us falling down.
“Why are you helping me?” I ask, looking at Tabitha.
“Because you’re my Luna and I owe you for saving my daughter’s life and my mates. And I won’t let Damien ruin the best thing that has ever happened to him. Especially for that cunt he calls a mother” She says and I wonder what she knows of Damien’s past that would cause the anger I could hear in her voice.
Tabitha and Natalia help me step down the first three steps. Suddenly the door opens and we all freeze, our eyes snapping to the door and I feel my heart rate spike. Max and Callie walk in and I feel relief flood me.
Max rushes up the steps toward us, “Sorry Luna, but we need to be quick” He says scooping me up and walking down the stairs with me before placing me down on the ground. Natalia races up, closing my prison door, while Callie and Tabitha help me walk towards the door.
Max opens it wide so we can step outside. The sun is blasting my face and I can smell fresh air for the first time in days. I squint at the bright light heating my skin.
“Where are we going?” I ask.
“We haven’t quite thought that far ahead yet, it was the first time Damien left the pack house. We saw an opportunity, so we took it” Tabitha explains.
“Head to my place” She says looking over at Callie. We make our way down the driveway towards the park when I hear the familiar sound of Damien’s car driving up the street. He clearly wasn’t expecting to find me escaping as the car skids to a stop, barely missing us.
The look of pure anger on his face makes Callie whimper beside me, but Tabitha has a look of pure determination on her face and so does Natalia. Max places himself between Callie and I as Damien steps out of the car.
His fists clenched tightly by his sides and I see the muscles in his jaw clench. A look I realized meant he was furious. He slams his car door before stalking toward us. Max puts himself between us and I see him flinch, waiting for Damien to do something.
“Move Max” He warns him. Max shakes his head and I see Tatum running over from the park toward us. Tatum rushes over, positioning himself next to Max blocking Damien from getting closer.
“I will only warn you once more, Move “ He screams using his Alpha voice. Max and Tatum fight against him, sweat beading on both of them, and their facial expressions look pained as his command rolls over them and it forces them to step aside.
Tabitha then steps forward, letting me go, and I grip onto Callie for dear life as I feel my legs wobble underneath me.
Tabitha jabs Damien in the chest with her finger. “You dare lock our Luna up and chain her to a bed like a fucking dog.
Every time your mother comes here, you roll over for her, every fucking time Damien. Why do you seek her approval, huh? What the fuck has she done to earn it beside nearly have her son fucking killed”.
Damien grabs her wrist, shoving her away and reaching for me, when I suddenly hear bones snapping. Tabitha shifts in pure rage as she bows her head, her teeth bared.
“Stand down, Tabitha” He growls at her, Tabitha’s voice booming through the mindlink and I cringe at how loud her voice is.
“I will not watch you treat her like this, how are you so blinded to see what your mother is doing. Layla doesn’t even know your mother. What would she possibly have against her, Damien.
Think! You are going to ruin your chances at having a mate.
