His Mate and His Mistress: The Rise of A Luna

Chapter 19- "Go."

But I didn't become alpha by being a pushover.

I have a few tricks under my sleeve as well.

Oh dear Clarissa, if only you knew.

It was about a day and a half later, when certain surroundings started to look familiar to Adelina.

They drove through their city and there wasn't a wolf in sight.

Adelina noticed the buffet she was kidnapped in as they rode by. Eventually, they ditched the highway until all you could see around were tall trees and thick branches.

She felt the pull of her pack, she felt the mate bond grow, and she felt the call of the forest.

She was home.

"Babe, do you feel that?" Asked Adelina.
"You're here!" Announced Demitrey, and she could feel the relief and happiness in his tone, then he added "where are you? How far are you from the pack?"
"I'm still a good distance away, but we're not far from crossing over into the pack bounds." Replied Adelina.
"Okay, sit tight. We'll be together soon." Said Demitrey, then they cut off their contact.

Adelina learned her head back against the window, and she sighed, she was home.

Yet somehow, there was no comfort in that thought, in fact, if anything, she felt uneasy.

She wasn't sure what was going to happen, but she knew it was going to be big.

Eventually, they reached a stop, it was a clearing about an hour away from the famous cliff.

Everyone exit the cars, and all around Darrell's warriors stood in respect for their alpha.

Clarissa walked up to the trunk where Theo's body laid and opened it, she went to touch the body when she paused, Adelina noticed she cocked her head to the side as though she was examining something, then she turned around sharply, her eyes immediately locking with Adelina's.

"Wait a second," said Clarissa as she squinted her eyes, then she walked right up to Adelina, and ripped the cap right off her head.

Her hair came tumbling out of the bun into a wavy mess over her shoulders.

"What the-"
"Well, I totally underestimated you." Said Clarissa.
"Grab her!" She ordered and Theo and Gavin started moving, but to Adelina's surprise, they both latched onto Clarissa arms, and held her hostage.
"Wha- what is the meaning of this? Let me go you idiots! You're supposed to grab her! Not me!" She screamed hysterically, as she tried to pull her arms out their right grasps, but their fingers wouldn't budge.
"Actually, they don't have to do anything you say. Don't forget, I'm the alpha." Said Darrell as he smirked and stood right in front of Clarissa.
"Why you sniveling little snake-"
"Silence her." Ordered Darrell, and Theo let go as Gavin effortlessly held on to a raging Clarissa, then Theo slipped out to pieces of rags, one which he balled up and placed in Clarissa's mouth as he forced her jaw open, and the other piece, he tied in between her lips.

For some reason, seing her unable to speak gave me some satisfaction.

But I knew that I wasn't out of the woods yet. No pun intended.

Darrell turned to me with a straight face as he said "as for you, I have no intention on harming you, as long as you cooperate, you will not be harmed. You have done no wrong by me so I have no right to hurt you. However, I do need you as a bargaining chip at the moment."
"And if I refuse?" I asked, somehow already knowing the answer.
"Well, then one word from me, and you will be bound and gagged, and I will drag you along nevertheless for my plan to work. We can do this the hard way, or the easy way. Your choice." Replied Darrell.
"And what exactly is your plan?" I asked.
" Uh huh" said Darrell, as he waved his pointer finger in a "no" motion, "that's for me to know and for you to find out."
I sighed and shrugged as I said "it was worth a try." Darrell chuckled and for a minute he didn't seem like a total villain.
