Oh honey, you would have to kill yourself then....
His deep voice echoed through my ears, echoing first slowly then loudly as it hit my brain. My eyes dilated quickly and my hands started to shake. The clatter of the gun was hardly heard as I saw nothing but blurs. I grabbed my face as I started to sway. I shook my head over and over in disbelief. The trees started to spin and the last thing I saw was Jacob being carried away. His laugh rang loudly through the woods as I dropped to the floor letting darkness consume me.
"No, let her rest and hide all her weapons...and my weapons. I don't think the best idea would be to lock her up against my bed...she could get the wrong idea and probably can beat me up."

My eyes felt heavy as I forced them open. The first thing I saw when my eyes cleared up was gray walls. I laid still as I observed my surroundings. I realized as I lay there that I was in fact in a grand bedroom. The bed I currently am laying in was a huge king sized bed that had a Victorian, vintage touch to it. The gold flowers were decoratively displayed on the borders of the bed, the fluffy white sheets, and the soft abundant amount of white pillows stacked artistically around me was enough for me to know that it was very expensive. The furniture was simple since the bed itself was grand. I let a sigh escape my lips as I dug deeper into the barricade of pillows.
After a few moments of content, my eyes shot open and I jumped up.
"Holy mother of cows! Where the hell am I?" I pulled at my hair as I tried to open the door, only to find it locked.
"How is my, oh so tender beauty doing? Sleep well?" I saw a man walk out of the bathroom that was half naked with only a towel to cover himself. Let's be honest right now, I did not mind him being half naked in front of me. He was tall since he hovered over me by over a hundred feet, I swear. His body was built by gods themselves; his muscles rippled with no effort as he strode towards me. He had an eight pack, broad shoulders, and a nice butt. "You love the view huh"
Then it hit me like a bulldozer, he was the Alpha of the Howling Woods Pack and I had to find his Luna. I remembered Jacob arrested and the Alpha mumbling something before I fainted.
"Where is she?"
"Must I remind you, that it's you, yourself." He faces me towards a full body length mirror. His two hands were softly massaging my shoulders as I gazed at myself. My hair in a complete bird's nest, makeup smothered, and clothes all wrinkled. I frowned at my appearance, but was more focused on what he was doing behind me. I didn't like what I felt every time he loosened up a knot in my shoulder.
"Get your rough paws off me!" I hissed as I bolted to the bathroom and locked it shut. I washed my face and quickly tied up my hair to a messy bun.
"Where is Jacob? What can I do now that I'm apparently this guy's mate? I don't even know his freaking name. I will not ask. I refuse to. No. What if he is lying to you? Maybe he is hiding his Luna somewhere." I mumbled these to myself like a crazy person. I looked up and glared at myself in the mirror. "Get a grip on yourself, Kayla. You are stronger than this. You fought a whole pack once with only three bullets. You can do this." I took a deep breath and marched towards the door. Slamming the door wide open, I smirked as his body tensed and jumped slightly.
"You are not my mate. Where is she? You are hiding her somewhere and you have no proof I am yours." I put my hands to my hips and opened up my stance. I gave him a dark look as a smirk slowly played on his lips.
"You will know. Trust me. Don't tell me you didn't feel anything when I touched you just recently. Don't tell me you didn't." I frowned at his comment hoping for any type of hint of the oh know I got caught face. This was one difficult dog.
"Let me tell you this..."
"Xander Black is the name. and continue Kayla" I couldn't miss the dominant and confident tone in his voice.
"Let me tell you this Xander! You and your pack will go down whether I am your mate or not. I hate you, vile creatures. I will rid of you. I will drain every drop of blood from your body and watch you cry for help. I've seen it and it would be a pleasure to see it again." I kicked him in the groin and ran to the door. Hearing a low grunt, I see him quickly recover as he tries to grab for me. I kick the door open, leaving barely any room for me to jump through. I flipped him off for one last measure as I sprinted down the stairs. I continued to run until I realized this house was like a maze. I turned left, then another left, and landed in the kitchen to see a frightened, young woman.
I marched towards her and grabbed her by her blonde hair. She seemed around Xander's age and was very beautiful. She had to be the Luna.
"Are you the Luna? I'll kill you" I dragged her to the place where all the sharp knives were held. I picked the largest one and brought it to her neck. Looking down at the gleaming sharp object pressed against her neck, she let out a loud scream. A loud crash came from down the hall and was followed with a loud growl. I smirked knowing I found the girl. "Do as I say or you get killed understand" I see her nails grow in protest and I use all my strength to pull her right back up.
"Understand!" I shout into her ear. I see her flinch and slowly nod. I felt her tremble in my arms, the beautiful feeling of fear. I heard the Alpha coming down through the doorway of the kitchen and saw his eye widen at the scene before him.
"Let her go!" He growls as he marched towards me. His anger was not missed as I saw his eyes dark as coal and his long fangs protruding from his mouth.
"Ah-Ah-Ah. One more step and she's dead meat. Here is the deal. You tell me she's the Luna and I kill her. And if you don't, I still kill her." I hear the girl yelp in absolute fear.
"Kayla...She is not the Luna. You are. Do not make any dumb mistakes in this household and live with these regrets."
"I am not the Luna, I swear it!" The blondie shrieking in protest
"Shut it, bitch" I press the knife deeper into her throat.
"Please let me go. I'm a loyal member only of the Howling Wood Pack and I am his cook. I do nothing but cook. I am nothing. Please let me go!" She starts to hysterically sob as she said this.
"Kayla, please. I am telling you the truth, you are my Luna, my mate. You have the wrong person. Let her go." His deep yet soft voice relaxed me a little. Realizing this, I tightened my grip on the girl again. His softened now blue eyes met my glare and I saw the truth in it. I normally would kill the hostage, either way, but something was different today. I couldn't place my finger on it. I let her go.
She stumbled to the floor, her blonde hair covering her face as she sobbed uncontrollably. Xander ran to her rescue and cooed her in comfort. She finally calmed down and ran away to probably her room. The whole time, I used this as a distraction and found an escape route. The kitchen had a back door and so I slowly crept towards it.
"Kayla don't you dare." I tensed up as I felt two pairs of black eyes on me. With one large leap, he landed on top of me. His face barely hovering over mine as he attempted to keep my hands down. "Kayla, please" This time he begged as I slapped his dumb head over and over.
"Tell me where she is! Tell me! I will kill you right now! I will!"
I realized that he started to eye my lips. I smiled knowing what needed to be done. Game change time!
"Xander..."
"Kayla..." His voice wavered in hesitation. I slowly moved upwards almost close to his lips. I felt him tense up, but then relax as I wrapped my body around his large torso.
"Im sorry." My voice low and seductive as I start petting his back. Distracted with my touch, I felt his grip loosen on me. Right when he did that I knocked my head against his and sprang free. I saw him moan in pain on the floor as I ran off to find Jacob and the Luna, wherever she is.
