Talking To The Moon | Complete |

I'm Gonna Getcha Getcha Getcha...

A/N: if y'all thought those few previous chapters were full of drama, just wait til y'all read this one.... and the rest of them all the way to the end..... Also, we have a new POV! Lemme know what y'all think!

Derek POV

"You can't hold me here, ya know!" My voice was angry as I rolled off the small cot, feet hitting the floor with a thump; walking to the cell door, I pressed my face against the bars with a scowl. "Luna won't let you keep me here... In fact, I demand you let me out right now so that I can see her!"

"You aren't going anywhere near her," the mutt of an Alpha growled, eyes burning; Awh, the poor mutt wouldn't let me near his Mate... Have I got a surprise for him...

"Can she at least come down here?!? I mean," I paused, smirking, "you did say that I couldn't go anywhere around her; you didn't say anything about her not coming around me..."

"Lemme see if she wants to come down; she probably won't, but even if she does, I am not leaving her side and you are not leaving that cell!" He turned on his heel with a growl and stormed out. "Damn, no good, rogue, sunuvabitch pup!"

I couldn't resist smirking after his retreating figure. I knew Luna, probably better than he did. She'd want to see me... Then, I could get the ball rolling and get the hell outta here.

~000~

"What do you want now?!?" Luna's voice was cold and harsh, her arms crossed tightly across her chest, as she tapped her foot impatiently.

Ouch... This was going to be a lot harder than I thought... "Hello to you, too, Lulu; sleep well?"

"As if you care." Then, her gaze slipped to that damn mutt as she gave him a shit-eating grin. "I did sleep well, actually, when I finally did fall asleep..."

Rolling my eyes, I scoffed and crossed my own arms over my chest; goddess, they were gross! All grins and giggles and shit... "Oh, you thought I actually cared; my bad."

Her face fell, to my satisfaction, as he tucked her up under his arm with a smirk. What was she, arm candy?!? "I'm sorry, Lulu, okay? I didn't sleep well, all holed up in this jail cell like some common criminal..." That's it; make her feel bad for you, then convince her to convince idiot Aloha to let you out...

"Was locking him up really necessary?!?" Turning to him, her bottom lip puckered as her eyes welled; maybe it wouldn't be so hard after all... "He hasn't done anything, Alex."

"You mean, besides sneaking onto my territory like some common rogue," he growled, glancing at me over the top of her head. Bending his head, he pressed his lips to hers with fervor, arms caging her tight against his chest. "Fine..." Goddess, he sure is a whine-bag! "But he doesn't leave this room or my sight, and you don't leave my side."

He motioned to the guard as I took a step back, letting the door swing open. Stepping outside, I gauged Luna's reaction with a small smirk; she was still the same Luna, a rebellious yet patient learner. She'd defy him and come to me, I was sure...

Opening my arms, I raised a brow in silent question as she glanced at him, eyes wide, before jerking out of his arms and wrapping her arms around me. "I've missed you, Derek..."

"You too, Lulu." About to press a gentle kiss to her forehead, I froze in place as a thunderous snarl pulled her out of my arms and back to that dumb Alpha. Whatever... I'd have her in the end...

~000~

"It's just lunch, Alex! It's not like I'm going out of the country with him!" Oh, sweetheart, just you wait... "We won't stay longer than an hour, I promise. He's hungry, and so am I! Please, Alex! He's my best friend!"

Smirking, I sat on top of the steel table and faced them, acute hearing catching practically every word they exchanged. Come on, Alpha, give in to your little Mate...

"Fine," he growled out, running a hand through his hair, "but you will have tails on you all the way there, when you're eating, and all the way back here..." Folding his arms around her, he pressed his lips to her forehead and gazed into her eyes, then at me. "I trust you, Luna, not him; if he does anything that makes you uncomfortable, you'd better Mind-Link me and Dino..."

As she nodded, he wrapped an arm around her waist and walked towards me, eyes burning angrily. "If you ever touch her against her will, I'll chop your fingers off and make you eat them! Don't even think about trying to escape; you won't get far..."

What does he know?!? Obviously not that I have some inside help... "Yeah, whatever; just let us go so I can eat some lunch. I'll bring her back in one piece, unharmed, untouched." Ha, nooopppe!

~000~

"Where are we going?" Her voice was soft from the passenger seat as she stared out the window, nose pressed against the glass. Sometimes, she was too perceptive for her own good... Still, I wasn't about to knock her out or anything; I loved her too much to hurt her...

"You'll see..." Turning to her, I slowly ran my hand over her hair, lips pulling into a smile. "Just go to sleep, love; I'll wake you up when we get where we're going."

Did that idiot Alpha know how unreliable his tails were?!? I'd already lost them about a mile from the Pen. Maybe, once he realizes we're gone, he'll up his security; if Luna were mine, she wouldn't go anywhere out of my sight...

Speaking of Luna leaving her Mate's sight... I finally had her back! She was mine! I'd gotten her back, and I wasn't about to let her go!

~000~

A whole hour later, Luna still had woken up, which was good; the further we got away from that idiot Alpha, the easier it would be for us to get outta here... Pulling the car to a stop, I gently rubbed her shoulder in an attempt to wake her; it worked when we were together before, why shouldn't it work now?

"Come on, Lulu, wake up, love; we need to get going." Closing my door and walking around to hers, I un-clicked her seatbelt and pulled her into my arms bridal style. Goddess, this felt so right!

"What are you doing, Derek? Where are we? Where's Alessio?!?!!" Her eyes were wide, terrified, as she threw her head around, trying to recognize where she was; good luck with that, sweetheart...

"Calm down, love; everything will be okay, I promise." Clicking the lock button until the car beeped, I cradled her gently in my arms as I began walking off the edge of the road into the woods; the entrance should be around here somewhere... That's what those damn rogues said, anyway...

Finding the mouth of the catacomb was easy; trying to navigate my way in the darkness with a sobbing Luna trying to claw my face off, not so much... Too bad, sweetheart! You're mine, and I'm not letting you go!

Let's see how long it takes dear old idiot Alpha to realize we're literally right under his nose.... As I walked deeper into the catacombs, the song One Way or Another played on a loop through my head. Yep, I'd gotten her, gotten her, gotten her!

A/N: this chap is still a pile of crap, I think.... I credit that to me still being sick, going to the doctor, and getting a shot in my butt....... Anyway, Luna's gone! Derek's crazy! Alessio's murderously angry, of course! What's gonna happen now?!?
