Something Unexpected

Chapter 15

A week has gone by since the Luna ceremony. A couple new things have happened. One being that I have officially marked Noah, since I have shifted, his mark looks similar to mine. Second, I have started to perform Luna duties as well as student teaching at the pack school. Noah has been training more and more warriors and I haven't seen much of him. By the time he comes to bed he's sleeping like a log within seconds. I don't blame him though, I know he is under a lot of stress. Myself and Mason have been helping with whatever we can, even Chris since he was the former Alpha. The other Alpha's that signed the alliance have been calling non stop with reports of rogue sightings and attacks. Our pack has recently been spotting more and more too. There is more patrol and more guards stationed to protect me. Noah being the overprotective husband he has decided I will be staying home from now on. I really can't do that, but I won't argue. 

I am currently getting some fresh air back by the school's park. This is the last day I'll be here for awhile since I will be at the pack house working from home. We figured out a way for me to teach virtually when it is my day to teach a lesson. But for now I am going to enjoy the fresh crisp air.

Staring out into the tree line, I am still getting that eerie feeling. The feeling that I am being watched. I was about to turn around and walk back inside until I saw some light flashing deeper in the woods. The kids were using flashlights earlier today for the "spooky" story. We have themes throughout the weeks for stories. Oh come on. Don't tell me that one of the kids wandered in there, great just great. I need to go retrieve them fast, I'm already getting the creeps. I see the light slowly descending deeper and deeper in the woods, so I lightly jog until I finally reach the light. Sure enough it's one of the flashlights but now it is laying on the grassy forest floor. Panic surges through me. I hurry and look around and sniff the air. Rogue. It doesn't smell like garbage or a gross smell, but I can tell it's a rogue and not a pack member. Before I could even think to turn and run back to the school I felt a hand cover my mouth and an arm wrap around my body keeping me from running. I kick and struggle to scream through the hand now covering my mouth.

"Shhh calm down!" Huh? I know that voice. I stop screaming.

"I will let you go if you don't scream" I nod and the mysterious figure let's me go. I turn to find myself looking into a pair of grey eyes I thought I would never see again. His dirty blonde hair is now wild and out of place. I see some bruises that are almost healed and a small cut through his eyebrow that seems to have stopped bleeding. I jump up and squeeze the life out of him.

"I thought I would never see you again!" I say with tears streaming down my face.

"I told you I would be okay," Cody says hugging me back.

"Why did you lure me out here in the creepiest way possible?" I ask with a hand on my hip.

"I didn't want to get caught so I figured being this far in the woods would be safe" Cody says.

"Also have you by chance been here for awhile? I kept having a feeling that I was being watched" Cody looks at me with a serious face.

"Sienna I haven't. You've been feeling this way for how long?" Cody asks in a serious tone.

"Um I would say a couple weeks"

"It couldn't be. Could it?" Cody mutters to himself.

"What are you talking about?"

"My father had been keeping me locked up in a cell all this time. I refused to follow him, which he let his fists take out on me. But within the last two or three weeks I could hear chatter about the rogues going on mission. What missions, I don't know. But it could have been to watch you"
