Chapter 39

Abby’s POV:

Watching Ryan make an ass out of himself was enough for Abby to get up from the table.

“Where are you heading Abby?” Johnny asked.

“I’m stretching my legs; Ryan wants me to mingle so I might as well start now,” she said over her shoulder. “Try not to be upon me though, you’re going to kill my vibe and scare everyone away because of your presence.”

“Well don’t try and run and I’ll play nice,” he said backing off. “Just stay where I can see you.”

“Even if I wanted to run, Ryan has me watched,” she said rolling her eyes.

Abby wandered around, her friends were around, but she didn’t want to be around them, she was bored. She watched Ryan and Beth. Beth looked a little tipsy now that she was drinking.

Wandering into the bathroom, she leaned again the wall, closing her eyes she wished she had her phone at least she could play her games, but she forgot her phone at the table.

“Abby are you in there?” Johnny called.

“Um yeah, I’ll be out soon, pooping and stuff,” she called.

“Abby, right?” a woman asked walking into the bathroom.

“Yeah, Sasha if I remember?”

“Yeah, so here the thing, I’m here for your father Bobby,” she whispered. “He wants to talk to you,” she said looking towards the door.

“What really?” she said taking a big gulp of air. “But my security outside.”

“Don’t worry baby girl, I’ll get him to distract, but don’t talk loud. Make it quick,” she said handing her the phone. She rushed to the door closing it behind her.

Looking down at the phone, she wasn’t sure what she would say to him. Her hands trembled when the screen lit up. The top call was labeled ‘Bobby DeLuca’ she pressed call and waited until the other end picked up.

“Sasha?” Bobby answered.

“No, Abby,” she whispered.

“Aw, baby girl it’s so good to hear your voice. Sasha with you? Are you safe?”

“No, she is distracting my security right now, I am in the bathroom, Ryan has me tight,” she whispered. “I don’t have a lot of time.”

“We are coming for you and Beth, I promise we’re doing everything we can to ensure you are not harmed when the raid happens, you need to stay close to Beth, so we get to you together.”

“I understand, why did it take you so long?” she asked with tears forming. “Ryan said you abandoned mom and me. Why?”

“I didn’t, I didn’t know you were born,” he said with a sigh. “I was in town on business, and paid for Brenda’s services, you see wolves aren’t supposed to have babies with anyone but their mates, I was careful anyway, but you were conceived.”

“How did you find out then?” she asked looking at the door.

“I have the tampon you asked for, so sorry for the delay!” Sasha came rushing in. “He’s coming.”

“I have to go,” she said hanging the phone up and running into the stall.

“Abby are you okay?” Johnny said coming into the bathroom.

“Yeah, I started my period, and my stomach is sick,” she whined holding her stomach. “Thanks for the tampon, it should get me through the party,” she said washing her hands, “Why are you in here Johnny?”

“Ryan wanted to know why you were still in here and why Sasha and I were talking, you know he thinks you two are up to something,” he said looking at both of them.

“What, like me escaping through the vent system,” Abby said rolling her eyes. “Come on Johnny let’s go show Ryan I’m still around,” she said pulling him by the arm.

“Everything okay in there?” Ryan said slurring his words a little.

“Yeah, my bloody show came, so I was stuck in there, but Sasha had a tampon for me,” she said rolling her eyes. “Go back to your party, I’ll be around with Johnny.”

“Hey, Abby,” Derek called.

“Oh great, my soon-to-be brother-in-law,” she said rolling her eyes.

“Better play nice Abby,” Johnny said handing her bag to her.

“I know I am just a business deal nothing else,” she said rolling her eyes. “Hey Derek, where’s my love?”

“He’s wanting to chat with you alone,” he said looking at Johnny. “Stay put Johnny.”

“Can’t do,” Johnny said. “Ryan’s orders, I don’t need her running off.”

“She’s going to be with us, she isn’t going anywhere,” he said putting his hand up. “We need to clear up something, a family thing, you can wait here.”

“Fine, fine but don’t be too long. Ryan is already getting drunk, and I don’t need his fucking drama,” he said rolling his eyes. “I mean it Abby no games.”

“Come on Abby,” he said throwing his arm over her shoulder. “Dean is in here,” he said pulling the door open letting her go in first. He glanced back and smiled at Johnny.

“So, where’s Dean?” she said turning to face him.

“Right here.” Before she could turn to face him, he put a knife to her throat. “You scream, I cut your throat.”

“So, this is what?” Abby snapped. “You know just as much as I do, I don’t want to do this either,” she said looking at Derek.

“It’s not just that Abby,” Derek said coming closer to her. “You are tainted, and we don’t want to have a tainted Luna running our family,” he said touching her face. “We know all about your true daddy, Ryan hasn’t been quiet about him.”

“Ryan won’t let me go to him, so help me get out of here so I can find him,” she said wanting to move away from the blade, but Dean held her tight. “We’re going to ensure you cannot marry into anyone’s family.”

“How?” she said taking in a breath.

He looked her up and down. “Well, first we could break that virginity of yours, I’m sure you’d be a great fuck,” he said to move his hands down to her breasts.

“Don’t touch me!” she said slapping his hands away.

“Don’t play so hard to get my love,” Dean whispered in her ear. “You are going to be betrayed one way or another tonight, you might as well enjoy the pleasure before the marking.”

Derek moved his hands down, Abby kicked him in between his legs, he cried like a bitch. “You bitch!” he growled backhanding her, splitting her lip open. “I’d say she isn’t worth the fuck. Just mark the bitch and let’s get the fuck out of here.”

“Here, take the knife,” Dean said handing him the knife.

Abby tried to get away from him, but he was faster.

She tried to call for help, but he covered her mouth. “I don’t think so, baby girl,” he said as she struggled in his hold. “I would have loved to stick my dick into you, but I’m out of time,” he said before sinking his fangs into her neck, she struggled, he didn’t bother sealing it.

He let her go, she tumbled to the ground. “The knife brothers,” he said grabbing it. “I Dean, reject you, Abby, I seal your fate as to never find your mate to be blood bound to me until you die!” he growled slicing his hand and then hers, putting them together. “There now orphan girl, you truly are alone,” he snapped leaving her there bleeding.

Abby grabbed her neck, the biting sting, she wanted to go out to Ryan and tell him what happened, but she wanted to run away instead. She wasn’t an orphan, her father was out there looking for her, she didn’t know anything about him.

Looking around the room, there was a door that looked like it led outside, she didn’t care about anything, she needed to getaway. She wasn’t going to be some Italian mail-order bride; she was a human.

Pushing the door open, she half expected an alarm, but nothing but the chilliness from the night greeted her. She wasn’t sure where she would go, her wounds hurt, her hand was bleeding worse than her neck.

Finding a bench near the party, she didn’t care if she was caught by Ryan, he was probably too drunk to care anymore. She looked down at her hand, blood dripping onto the ground.

“Just great,” she said rubbing the blood on her dress. She pulled her hair down to cover the mess on her neck.

“Abby?” an unfamiliar voice spoke.

She didn’t bother to look up, it didn’t matter he was one of Ryan’s men. “May I sit?” he said in a thick Italian accent.

“Sure, I don’t own anything.”

“You’re bleeding,” he said pointing to her hand. “Here baby,” he said handing her a cloth.

“Thanks,” she said taking it and wrapping her hand up.

“You are out here alone, eh?” he said clearing his throat.

“Did Ryan send you?” she said still not looking at him.

“That worm? Ha!” he laughed. “No, no I plan to kill the bastard, he stole you from my son and me.”

She looked at him. “Who are you?” she asked wiping the tears from her eyes.

“My name is Vincent DeLuca, Italian Mobster Boss. I came to help Bobby save you and Beth.” He half-smiled. “So does he know you are out here?”

“I doubt it, he’s probably in there making an ass of himself like he always seems to do.” She choked back some tears. “So, if you are my grandfather, where is my father?” she said looking around.

“He is near, but I told him to let me handle you since this situation hasn’t been very good for you,” he spoke. “He is angry I am here though; he wants to be here to bring you in, but I tell him no he’s too tough.”

“But you’re the Alpha?” she said rolling her eyes. “You are too soft.”

“Soft!” he scoffed. “Probably only for you, with everyone else I’m a bastard.”

Abby giggled.

“So how about you come with me, I’ll take you from Ryan and you will be safe. No more trauma, I promise,” he said standing up. “Before Ryan realizes you are missing, we only have a small chance now.”

She looked at the party, it was still in full swing, she could see Ryan he was with Neko and Sasha, she was staring at her. She smiled at Abby nodding her head.

“I promise Abby your life is going to change, no more lies no family secrets,” he said extending his hand.

Abby stood up, taking a deep breath, looking at him and then the party. “But what about Beth?” she said. “Ryan is going to hurt her if I am not with them,” she said with a sad face.

“Don’t worry, Beth’s dad Nikolai is coming with an army of angry wolves, we are going to destroy Ryan and take Beth,” he spoke. “Come.”

Abby nodded, taking his hand he pulled her closer. “I promise Abby we will ensure Ryan never gets to you again,” he spoke.

“So will I be leaving New York then?”

“Yes,” he said looking down at her. “Your home is in Italy, a far less dangerous place. “When you are comfortable enough you can tell me more about what happened to your hand, and your neck,” he said touching her face.

Mico opened the back door to the SUV. “I promise you tonight Abby DeLuca you are safe once you get in.”

Abby got into the vehicle; Vincent slides next to her. “Not a word Bobby,” he growled. “Just drive back to the hotel, we will save questions for another time.”

Mico got into the vehicle, he glanced back and smiled, Abby was exhausted, she had been crying, she was a mess.

“Come on baby girl, you can use my shoulder to sleep on if you need to. We have a hotel that is fit for a Princess, we will take you there,” Vincent said getting Abby to relax, he wrapped his arm around her, she dozed into a heavy sleep.
