Talking To The Moon | Complete |

I Really Really Really Really Really Really (Don't) Like You

Luna POV

The sun shone bright in my eyes as I rolled over, back scraping against the rough catacomb floor; we'd been gone since yesterday, and I could only imagine the search party that Alex had already organized to find me. Goddess, let him find me soon!

The silence was rather loud and daunting; he snored beside me, but other than that, there was no sound. My Wolf hadn't talked to me since I'd left with him yesterday; her last words to me were about how stupid I was for even giving him a chance. If only I'd listened to her!

If only she'd talk to me, I could Mind-Link Alessio... But since she'd put up a Mind Block, indefinitely it seemed, I couldn't get through to anyone, let alone my own damn Mate. At least I had our baby to keep me company...

Jerking awake, I stabbed a finger against his chest with a growl. "Hey, asshole, I need food! Now! Wake your lazy ass up!" Clutching my bump, I prayed to the goddess that he didn't realize I was pregnant. Who knew what he'd do then?!?

"Calm down, woman! I'll get your food in a little bit..." Rolling back over, he wrapped his arms around his head and dozed back off.

"I want food now!" Standing, I glared down at him and spat on the floor next to him. "If you don't get it for me, I'll go outside and find some myself! Who knows, maybe the search party will be out there and find me!"

At my words, he jerked awake with a growl, eyes glancing anxiously at our surroundings; who but he would think to look in the catacombs?!? "Fine, fine, fine... I don't make any promises that what I find will be anything good..."

"Oh, just get me some damn food!" Rolling my eyes, I flinched as he pressed his lips to my forehead. Then, he was gone, and I was left to curl in a ball and cry. He was supposed to be my best friend; why the hell would have kidnapped me?!?

Now that he was gone, I could hatch an escape plan! Too bad I couldn't actually escape yet... I couldn't, and I knew that, because he'd just hunt me down and take me back. He could, and would, attack my Pack, just to get me back, and that was not about to happen... I had to bide my time and wait; if not for Alessio to rescue me, for my Wolf to come back and help me kick some ass...

~000~

"You're still here!?!" Walking deeper into the catacombs, he held up a sack of take out with a surprised smile; seriously?!? I could've convinced him to take me along, and made my escape...

"I'm not an idiot, idiot! I know that the second I try to escape, you're just gonna haul me right back; if I made it all the way back to my Pack, you'd just start a war, kill everyone, and take me back..." My words were bitter as I slowly took one of the sacks from him; what if he'd poisoned it or something?!?

As if reading my mind, he flashed a quick frown, as if he was above poisoning people to get them to be compliant. Of course, he wasn't above kidnapping, so why wouldn't he try to poison me as well... "I'd never hurt you, love..."

"Firstly," I growled with a roll of my eyes and jerked the sack open, "quit calling me that! Second of all, you are hurting me! Not that you know what it's like to have a Mate, but the longer I'm away from him-"

"The more you'll fall in love with me!"

His words froze me on the spot as I dumped the sack out, noting the yummy smelling pasta that was inside. "Umm, what?!? Wait, what, no! I'm not going to fall in love with you! I'm gonna keep hoping and praying to the goddess that my Mate finds me soon! Get that through your thick skull!"

"You need to get the point that nobody's ever gonna find you, sweetheart..." Who was this man, and what had he done with my best friend?!?!? "I mean, we're literally right under your precious Mate's nose, and he hasn't found you yet... The way I see it, you might as well get comfortable, princess, 'cause we're gonna be here awhile!"

Resisting the urge to stab him with my plastic spork- if I knew for a 100% certainty that he wouldn't hurt me or the baby, I gladly would've scooped his damn eyeball right out of his head- I blew out a slow breath. "If you wanted me to be so damn comfortable, why the hell did you take me away from my Mate?!?"

"Because, princess," he smirked, leaning so that his lips brushed mine as he continued, "you're mine!"

~000~

The day came and went, and it was soon night. The moon poked against the top corner of the mouth of the catacomb, reminding me achingly of Alessio. I'm sure he was looking for me, but would he ever actually find me?!?

Oh my goddess! What if he doesn't find me before I have the baby?!?!? To give a shoutout to one of the greatest movies ever, "I don't know nothing bout birthin' no babies!" Besides, if I were to have the baby, that would be an obvious tip off to him that I was even pregnant in the first place, and who knows how he'd react... He was a hothead as it was; I could only hope and pray that he didn't do anything stupid or hurt me and the baby before Alessio could find us...

"Goodnight, love." His lips pressed briefly against mine as I shuddered in disgust; could he not tell how wrong all this was?!? "I love you."

"Yeah well, I really really really really really really don't like you!"
