Chapter 33: Her Second Chance Alpha

Stepping out of the cell, I gave the two mates a little privacy and started to make my way back up the hallway.

"Luna, no disrespect, but do you really think leaving them alone is a good idea?" The warrior asked as he tried to catch up with me, the two of us now walking back down the hall of the building that holds the cells. Stopping for a moment, I looked back over my shoulder to my best friend as she was finally able to wrap her arms around her mate for the first time. A slow smile spreads across my face as I watch them in that moment, knowing that I made the right decision.

Looking over to the warrior who was also now watching the pair, "Absolutely" I said and turned away from the mates and resumed walking out of the building. All he can do is nod now in understanding and follow along behind me.

We step out of the building now, it is late in the afternoon and the sun is just starting to sink lower in the sky and it cast a warm glow over the area. The warrior resumes his original post outside the double doors and I continued on my way back to the pack house. It is not a long walk from the building that holds the cells back to the house. Everyone who was working on the set up had gone in for the evening, so I took my time as I walked around the garden taking in all the hard work that had been put into my Luna Ceremony. It was even more beautiful in this light. The fairy lights glow softly as they catch the light just right from the sunset.

"I can not believe this is actually happening." I said to my Wolf as I sat down on one of the chairs taking everything in.

Andra's tail is swooshing back and forth in my mind as her own excitement rises, "Me too, but I know we were meant for this." She says with a big wolfie grin. Once the darkness of the night sets in and covers everything, I slowly make my way back inside the pack house.

I headed towards the right wing of the house to the apartments intending on getting ready to finish what Jason and I started earlier today. Just the thought had Andra purring in anticipation of tonight's events, a smile spread across my face. I had just entered the house and closed the door when there was a soft knock at the door.

"Good evening Luna." The omega says and she bows her head to me slightly.

"Yes" I said softly, opening the door more.

"There was a phone call for you in your office a little while ago." She says softly.

"Thank you, I'll be there in just a moment." I said.

She bows once again and returns back inside the main pack house. Phone call? Who could be calling me? Andra is now suddenly anxious, but she is not able to explain why. I enter the main pack house and instantly a feeling of unease washes over me. I stopped in my tracks, surveying the hallway for anything that might look out of place.

"Something is not right here. I do not know what but something is very wrong." Andra says, now on high alert.

Not noticing anything concerning her here, I made my way upstairs to the Luna's office. It seems the unease has become even worse up here. I can feel it in the air around me, as the feeling of unease thickens to where it is almost suffocating.

As I reach out to open the door to the office, I am hit with an electric-like shock that zaps between me and the door handle. Withdrawing my hand quickly, I stared at my hand. "What the h*ll was that?" I asked my Wolf frantically. Reaching out again for the door handle, I was again hit with another shock. It is not like the normal static shocks that sometimes happen. This was way stronger, my entire hand tingled after each shock for a few seconds.

"I have no idea" Andra comments, just as confused as I am. "I do not think we should be here, something just does not feel right."

Taking my Wolf's advice I slowly took a few steps backwards until my back hit something hard that at first I thought it was the wall until two arms suddenly wrapped around my body very tightly, locking my arms down against my body and dragging me into the room across the hall.

I open my mouth and, just as I am about to scream out for someone to help, a hand covers my mouth muffling my calls for help. I can feel Andra as she is about to come forward, but it's different, it's more of a humming that covers every inch of my body.

"Scream and she dies" says the voice of the man that grabbed me. His voice sounded oddly familiar.

Andra growls out at the threat, only causing the man to laugh in response, but she stops trying to take control for the moment.

"A little feisty tonight, are we?" He says close to my ear. His breath on my skin sends a chill down my spine. "He will enjoy the fight I am sure. Me not so much." He says as I feel a sudden prick in my thigh.

I yelp at the pain, but it is muffled by his hand that is still over my mouth. I suddenly feel my eye lids become heavy and my knees buckle, causing me to lean my body on the man even more to keep myself upright.

"Andra?" I called out to my wolf but there was no response. "Andra!" I yelled out in my mind as loud as I could, but still she did not answer me.

"Much better" the man says as he steps into my line of sight. Black dots are now starting to cloud my vision, but I can just make out the face before me.

Mike Williams, the kid from the bar the night I passed out. I had not seen or even thought about him since that night and now here he is. It appears the kid has held a grudge about that night this whole time. I can feel it as Mike picks me up bridal style, my head leans on his shoulder, he opens the door slightly, peaking his head out, I assume, looking to make sure the coast is clear.

My vision blacks out then and when I open my eyes again, we are no longer in the pack house but now deep in the forest. My head is pounding so hard that my vision is blurry and I can not make out much of where I am. The only bit of light is from the moon above as its light filters in through the tree branches and leaves.

I tried to call out to Andra once again but she still is not responding to me. Whatever Mike injected into me has to be interfering with our connection somehow. I can feel myself slowly start slipping back into the dark abyss again when I notice bright lights up ahead of us.

And as we get closer, the light grows brighter until I can make out the outline of some kind of house. I can hear growls coming from all around us now. There are so many wolves around us but I am unable to pick up any scent from them, they all smell just like humans, even those in wolf form have no scent.

I look up and the man that is currently carrying me and I notice he is wearing a pendent that looks just like the one Jason had found yesterday in the forest. It dawns on me then that they all must have one to keep anyone from finding them too easily.

"Well, well, well, look who we have here." I heard a familiar voice that came from behind the blinding lights. A black shadow of a man slowly emerges from the light, his features still blurry until he stands right in front of me.

"Did you really think you could hide from me?" Alexander says as he sneers at me, causing an ice-cold chill to course through my body, causing me to shudder.

This can not be happening, I thought, as the darkness envelopes me whole and my world goes black.

******************************************

"Holly! Holly! Wake up!" I heard a voice calling to me from the darkness.

Slowly, I pry my eyelids open, blinking to try and clear my still blurry vision. Finally getting them to focus, I realized that it was Sara's voice I heard calling to me.

"Oh thank the Goddess you are awake." She says, I can hear the fear in her voice now. "Mike betrayed the pack." she says as she surveyed the room.

"How long was I out for?" I asked, trying to rub my aching head. I find that my wrists are tied behind my back to the chair. My legs are also tied to the chair's legs. I tug at my restraints causing them to just dig more into my skin.

"They brought you in about thirty minutes ago. I thought you would be out a lot longer than that though," Sara said as she looked at the door.

Realization hit me then. When Mike said they would kill her if I screamed, he meant Sara. They had kidnapped Sara to insure that I would cooperate with them. Somehow, Alexander had recruited Mike and he turned against his pack simply because he did not like the fact that I was a rogue.

Just as I am about to ask her another question, the door slams open with a loud bang, causing the two of us to jump in our seats. In walks the one person I never wanted to see again with a smug smile on his face as he watches Sara and I. "How are you feeling mate?" He asks with fake concern as he grabs another chair from the corner and sits it directly infront of me.

"I am not your mate anymore, remember. You rejected me." I say with all the disdain I have for the man before me in my voice.

A sick smile crosses his face then, "I thought you would have understood my intentions when I sent my warriors to bring you home, but instead you killed them and kept running from me." He says as he runs a finger down the side of my face. His touch is now repulsive to me since I have found Jason. I pull my face away from his touch as much as I can, which is not very far. That only seems to infuriate him as he pinches my chin between his fingers and forces me to look at him again.

"You will be my mate again just as soon as we remove that mark from your neck." He says as he snarls at the offending mark.

"Get comfortable ladies" he says now as he stands from his chair and looks down at Sara and I with a sick smile. It was never a good thing to see that smile on his face. It usually meant pain would soon follow.

"Alexander, please let her go. You have me now, she is of no use to you now." I pleaded with him to at least let Sara go, but my pleas were useless.

He laughs at that, "No, I think we will keep her for a little while longer to make sure you behave yourself. If you try anything stupid, she dies." He states, now looking over to Sara, who is crying silently.

"Behave yourself and she may make it out of here alive. Tomorrow there will be a full moon and it will remove his mark, since you have yet to mark that mutt. Then we will be able to mark and mate each other." He added, turning his attention back to me.

My stomach turns over now in disgust at the thought of being marked and mated by him.

My body suddenly starts to warm up and I can feel the humming sensation I felt earlier when Andra tried to take control with Mike. Out of no where, I am shoved to the back of my mind as Andra takes full control, startling Alexander as well.

"Over my dead body, big boy." Andra snarls at him. His eyes instantly darken as his wolf also takes control, grabbing us by the face again.

"That can be arranged." His wolf growls back, his fingers digging into my flesh even harder before he lets go of my face and storms out of the room, slamming the door closed behind him.
