Alpha's Regret-My Luna Has A Son novel Chapter 132

Macey POV

I awoke to fingertips brushing up and down my arm.

The chill in the air made me inhale deeply as tingles spread up my arm where his fingertips caressed.

I pretended to remain asleep when the vibration of a phone ringing beside my head buzzed and vibrated against the wooden cupboard it was sitting on.

My mate growls, and where I have been laid dips so I know I was on a bed, the jostling movement as he climbed off made that evident, my eyes flutter open, and I squint, remembering to remain calm and keep my heart rate down as I tried to take in my surroundings.

Brown wall paneling covered the walls and was the first thing I noticed in the dimly lit room.

The old-fashioned lamp with a floral shade made little light in the PO 10 X < room and the smell of burning wood reached my nose, it smelt a little damp making the scent a little too strong, reminded me of pine needles, the crackling sound reaching my ears at the same time his voice did.

“What is it, father?” Carter asks.

At least I knew who he was on the phone to.

“Not my problem.I did my part.I am done now.Find your own way into the city to enact your revenge.I want no part of it anymore,” he growls into the phone.

“I have better things to entertain myself with, but I left half the money in the mining tunnels for you.It should tide you over for a while.” 

Momentary silence has me lifting my head, which was a mistake on my behalf.

In my drowsy state, he sounded further away.

Turns out he was only a couple meters away and as I turned, I caught his eye.

Carter smirks at me, turning away, and I glance around to find I am in some small cabin.

“Contact Clark, he may help you,” Carter tells his father before I hear yelling and my eyes flick to Carter to see him pull the phone from his ear and glare at it before he let out a growl.

“Well, I told you he was a moron.If he has got himself locked up, what do you expect me to do about it?Figure it out.This is no longer my problem,” he snaps back before hanging up.

I swallow when I watch him set his phone down ,I quickly wiggle up on the bed to find I am only dressed in my bra and panties.I tug the itchy brown blanket higher, and Carter purrs before stepping closer and crawling onto the bed.I watched him.

He was a predator, and I refused to be his prey.

Bond or not, he was not my Alpha, and I would never be his Luna.

Watching him as he moves closer before I turned my head, looking out the window.

The place, I could tell, was somewhere deep in the woods.

I could hear the owls and night creatures outside, and I was met with total darkness, my own face reflecting back at me in the window.

“Where are we?” I ask, turning to look at Carter.

“In the woods,” he purrs, and I lift my knees, drawing the blanket closer.

“Yes, but where?” I ask him.

“My mother’s place.She built it with the forsaken,” he says.

“She built this place?” 

“Yes, they aren’t all crazed.Some held some sense still.Though she was too far gone by the time I found her,” Carter tells me.

“The rest of the forsaken?” I ask.

“Dead.I killed them, and those that I didn’t kill, your rogues did in the attack.It is perfectly safe out here,” he tells me and I watched him carefully, not liking the sparkle of excitement in his eyes.

“Safe enough to bring Taylor here when I go back for her,” he says, and I had to fight back a snarl.

“I know it isn’t what you expected, but it is only temporary until the heat dies down, and then we will flee the country,” he tells me, gripping the blanket and tugging it down.

“I need to use the bathroom?” I tell him abruptly.

“There is an outhouse,” he says, and I quickly get out of bed.

The floorboards creak under my feet, and he watches me.I try to take in my surroundings, yet when I move off the bed, the clang of ” chains makes me realize the attachment to my ankle.

“Just precautionary, my love.I wasn’t sure how you would wake,” he tells me as I stare down at the chain that was also attached to the bed.

He climbs off the bed before pulling a key from his pocket.He bent down, undoing the chain attached to the foot of the bed.

How did I not notice that before?

Seeing it, the weight of it was all I could feel me.

Carter grips the chain before pointing at the door.I look at it when he steps behind 

“I’ll take you,” he whispers.

“That is unnecessary,” I tell him.

“The feeling through the bond tells me it is,” he whispers before giving me a nudge, and I clench my teeth but move toward the door.

“It is an adjustment, one you will used to.One thing about rogues is we adapt,” he says as I grip the door.

Ain’t that the truth, but I won’t be getting accustomed to this place.

Stepping outside, I am smashed by the harsh coldness of the wind; I rub my arms before spotting the small outhouse; I didn’t really need to use the bathroom or whatever the heck that ice age contraption was but the moment the wind touched me I suddenly needed to pee.

The steps creaked as I stepped off the tiny porch, and I could see nothing but darkness and trees showing how utterly alone I truly was out here.

The grass was wet from dew, and I wondered what time it was.

Kalen would come for me.I know he won’t abandon me out here, or he will alert Everly and Valen.

They would be wondering where I am by now.

They had to be.

“Ava?” I ask.
