Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 402

Abby

The truck plows on through the relentless blizzard, and my anxiety continues to mount with each passing second.

The world outside the window is nothing but a white abyss, and I have no idea where we’re headed. Fear grips me the further we go, and I can’t shake the nagging feeling that I’m in serious trouble.

Slowly so as not to alert the two men sitting in front of me, I turn on my phone to check and see if I have service. But my phone screen illuminates the cabin of the truck, and before I can quickly shut the screen back off, Mike’s eyes snap to me in the rearview mirror.

“No service here,” he says, his eyes meeting mine.

“No service for a while,” Jake chimes in with a slight chuckle. “You’re out in the boonies now, city girl.”

In a desperate attempt to act calm, I let out a slight chuckle of my own. “I just figured I should check,” I say, swallowing. “Hey, um… I really would like to know where you’re taking me, though.”

“Don’t worry,” Mike says, averting his gaze back to the road once more. “We’ll get there soon.”

“Yeah, but where exactly is ‘there’?” I press. “I have a right to know, don’t I?”

The two men exchange brief glances, and it’s then that I see it; the devilish look that flickers through Mike’s gaze. God, how could I have been so stupid?

“Listen, lady,” Jake finally says, turning around to shoot me a glare. “We’re taking you to another gas station just a few miles up the road. Would you calm down and quit complaining?”

“I’m not—”

“Just… chill,” Jake says, his frown deepening. In the dim light of the car, the shadows of his face look even more demonlike.

I swallow and nod, not wanting to aggravate the men any further. But all the while, even as Jake lets out a huff and turns back around, my mind whirls. I need to have a plan just in case I have to escape.

The child lock on the door keeps me trapped inside, and I curse myself for not being more cautious. I have no choice but to rely on my wits and hope for an opportunity to escape. Maybe, once they stop, I can slip out and make a run for it.

But without my wolf form, I won’t be as fast as I could be. It would take all of thirty seconds for two big men like this to catch up to someone like me, especially if they shift.

“Come on,” I call out to my wolf mentally. “I really need you right now. You can’t just abandon me like this! You’re going to get us killed!”

But of course, as always, there’s no response. My wolf remains silent, dormant. I don’t even know if she can hear me, or if she’s sleeping peacefully, blissfully unaware of my terror.

As the minutes drag on, the truck suddenly veers off the main road and onto a narrow, winding path that disappears into the woods. Panic surges through me, and I instinctively try to open the door, but it remains locked.

“Stop that,” Mike hisses, shooting me another warning look through the rearview mirror. “What, do you think you’ll just jump out of here and into the blizzard?”

My heart pounds in my chest as I realize the gravity of the situation. I’m alone in the middle of nowhere with two strangers, and I don’t have my wolf form to defend myself. My only option is to fight with everything I have if it comes to that.
