annie's pov

Its around 3 and we are at the mall by we i mean lucy, martha & me.all the girls yay!!...note the sarcasm.Anyways lucy is in the dressing room trying her wedding dress,though jason is angry with me but lucy was so happy about the wedding so he kept his mouth shut.

lucy came early in the morning to ask me to be her maid of honor and i accept it .

"thank you" i said while taking my wine from the martha and sitting across her.

there was a kind of silence between us ,its not like that martha and i don't spoke since morning but i feel like martha wanted to tell me something but she doesn't know how to speak about it.

while we were waiting for lucy to come out martha finally decided to speak about it.

"so ethan told you everything " she asked while taking the sip of the wine.

"yaa i guess he told me that you are luna of the pack ."

"i was , she replied."

"meaning ...i mean they called you luna."

by that i mean other pack members ...since i don't know very much about it ,the whole  werewolf thing i kept my mouth shut about this topic but i can ask ethan or ,martha about it i hope they will not get angry.

"i was the luna of the pack but when ethan's dad decided to make ethan as alpha we stepped down as alpha & luna."

i couldn't help myself from asking 

"you guys are also mate?"

she smiled at me and replied "ofcourse we are."

"i have guessed that since i have seen you guys in the party."

"annie...

"ta-da " lucy came out from the dressing room.

"oh my god!! you look beautiful" , i don't when i started crying even though i don't know her that much i am happy for her.

i make my way towards lucy and hugged her , martha too joined us.

"now okay you girls we don't want to ruin the dress before wedding , martha said while pulling herself out of the hug.

"now since we have to visit a lots of other shop why don't you hurry lucy" , martha suggest and we left the shop with the dress. 

after visiting a lot of shops finally the day was over.

"who would thought that it will be so stressful to shop for wedding , lucy exclaim."

the bodyguards carried our bags while we are making our way to the parking lot of the mall.

"guys just to be sure let's check the list again , martha said while coming behind us.

"okay , i replied."

"flowers ?"

"checked ."

"dress?"

" checked."

"stilettos?"

"chec...ah fuck!!

"wait what happened , lucy jumped out of from nowhere and started to panic."

"i guess martha we left the bag in the store itself." i said while martha tried to control lucy.

"don't worry lucy i will get it ."

i started to run back to the mall when martha shout behind me "annie be careful and come back fast."i quickly make my way to the second floor i guess there store was there and i was right i quickly grabbed the bags from there to the elevator when somebody pulled me from behind.

i tried to struggle out from his hold but i was unable to do it ...i started to get panicked when the person throw me on the floor and i heard the door getting locked.

i slowly turned my face to look who it is & it was BEN.

i don't know what to say any longer the only question was running through my mind was that did archer find me.

"i told you earlier do not do something stupid but ", he said with an angry tone in his voice.   

"but what?" , i know that i was going to cry any minute now but i stopped myself because i don't wanted to show my fear.

"you already know", he smirked at me.

martha's pov

"should we go and checked ?" lucy asked since it was getting late and annie didn't return.

i tried to call her few times but she didn't reply .

"should we tell ethan, lucy suggest ."

"let the bodyguards to come back if they didn't find annie we will tell ethan."

by this time i was also getting all panicked and prying that she will return soon.

"that's it martha i am going inside to find her ", lucy started to make her way to the mall but i stopped her by pulling her back.

"lucy will you clam down the bodyguards are in there what if 

"ah!! there she is , lucy say ."

annie slowly make her way towards us and handed the bags to the driver.

"what happened sweetheart you looked pale ?"

"nothing i am fine just exhausted from today's shopping ," she said and gave me a small smile but it didn't reached to her eyes. since i know something happened i decided to keep my mouth shut because i don't wanted to force her.

"alright let's go before ethan goes all mad on me" , lucy stated .'

"okay let's go then" , i said & we all sat in the car.

i looked at annie while she was looking outside from the window in a very deep thought and i know that something bad has happened & the only person who can fix this is

ethan
