Full Moon Curse (by Dream) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247

I rush out of the dining room, the plan firm in my mind. I just have to trust her. She knows what she’s doing. She always knows what she’s doing.

I put her wounds on the back burner, so I don’t rush in there and punch my brother in the throat for touching her.

Everything has changed. This whole pack is like a prison cell, it was like the color has been sucked out of the place my parents grew up, where they fell in love, where everything good ever happened to them.

I’m not naïve. I know life wasn’t sunshine and rainbows for them, but they were always end game. Always.

They were the reason love felt so real to me, yet so unattainable. No one could ever love me the way my father loved my mother. But then I found him and my whole view of that changed. It was like a light at the end of a tunnel, and I was only able to see it because of the way my parents loved. I compared everything he ever did to what my father had done for my mother, and he never fell short. He’s my end game and this plan better work, because like hell I won’t be making it back to him.

I don’t believe my brother would hurt me, but I also have no idea anymore. If he’s willing to hurt Aspen, then he’s further gone than I even thought.

It breaks my heart to see him like this. He’s destroying everything and I know he knows that. That’s what makes this even harder. It’s like he’s doing it on purpose. Like he’s choosing the harder path, making sure everyone around him hates him as much as he hates himself.

And the sad thing is, it’s working.

I’m almost to the cells, happy that Aspen mapped it out the best she could, when I hear footsteps running up behind me. I turn quickly to prepare myself, but I see Finn’s face come into view.

Goddess, he’s gotten so freaking big, it’s hard to believe it’s only been two years.

He doesn’t smile at me, he’s in work mode, ready to get on with the plan and make it out. Hopefully alive.

He puts his finger over his mouth, then slowly walks a little further down the hall.

He motions with his hand to follow him, and I do. Walking past the guard unconscious on the ground and rushing into the cells.

Cole did his part, now we need to finish ours. Following Finn down the line of cells and finally stopping in front of the one with Hazel.

We don’t have much time; I pull the key out of my pocket that Aspen slipped me while we were at the table and shove it in the hole.

Turning the lock and letting Hazel rush out. She grabs both me and Finn in a hug, and I soak it up. I’ve missed her so much. I pull away after about ten seconds, “We have to go.” I tell them and she nods her head and begins to follow us out.

Finn gets us to the door in no time, and checks that the guards there are no longer conscious as well. Then we beeline it for the car.

The car that I barely got through the gates. If Griffon hadn’t relented, I’m not sure what we would have done, but he finally did, nonetheless. Hopefully, it’s not as difficult getting the car out as it was getting it in.

Hazel and Finn climb into the trunk once I pop it open. I see Cole and Randy already in there and think the Goddess that everything’s going to plan. It’s going to be close quarters for them until we get far enough away from the pack to stop and rearrange, but I’m guessing by the smiles on their faces they don’t care.

I shut the trunk quietly, then move to the driver’s seat.

Starting the car and backing out, then making my way towards the gates.

Everything in me revolts at the thought of leaving Aspen here, but she has something up her sleeve, even if I have no idea what it is.

I trust her with my life, so I’ll trust her with this. She’s always good at just knowing things and I’m not going to question her.

I make it to the gates and wave at the guard. I see his eyes glaze over slightly, probably mind-linking Griffon, then he turns and opens the gates.
