The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 16

CATHERINE.

I watch both Damon and Melissa walk out in worry. 

Do they know?

That I am from the Skylight pack?

They have to, their behavior was too suspicious.

What should I do? 

I can't help the panic that surges in me. I liked this place. 

"Liked? What do you mean by "liked?"

"You know what I mean, we can't stay here," I tell my wolf.

"Why the hell not?" 

"They know. They must know that I am from the Skylight pack. Oh my goddess, what if they know that Vance is- was my mate?" I rant.

"And how will they know that?" she asks snidely.

"I don't know. I just know we have to leave."

"And go where?!" she screams.

"I don't know!" I snap out loud, too ruffled to keep it cool.

"Catherine?"

I turn around to see Faye, holding a plate of tacos.

Huh?

"Did you just make that?"

"Yeah," she says as she walks in. "It is my go-to meal. Who were you talking to?" she asks as she places the plate on the low table.

"My wolf. She is being… impossible."

"Hey!"

I ignore her, see how she likes it.

"Hmm, I get that. Want to talk about it?".

"Not really, it is just how she is," I say.

"Okay then," she replies as she sits on the bed. "So, what do you want to do?" she asks.

"Do?"

"Yeah, you can't stay cooped in here forever. You need to go out, see the sky, the grass, everything."

"I don't know, Faye. I don't think anyone would kike a stranger walking around their pack," I tell her.

"Nonsense. You are not a stranger. You are the girl that our Alpha has hidden in his room. People are curious, you should show yourself before some of the crazy ones try climbing through the window," she says with a smirk.

"They won't do that would they?"

"Oh, yes they would. You underestimate the love and loyalty we have for our Alpha. The fact that you have been hiding here is setting many people on edge."

"Ah, I see. They think I am taking advantage of him."

"Close. They think you are a spy."

"A spy? From where?'

"We have many enemies.," she says with a shrug.

I can believe that.

"Okay, sure. Let's take a stroll."

"Yay. You are going to love this place, I can promise you that," she says excitedly as she leads me out, food forgotten.

Now I feel bad. The only reason I am agreeing is so that I can find a way to escape. Get familiar with the surroundings, and find the cracks.

Somehow it hurts, the thought of leaving this place, all these wonderful people who have been nothing but kind to me.

But I can't risk it. I know it is unlikely for them to send me to him, to Vance. 

But if Melissa could sneak into his pack to spy on him, then it is very possible they can do the same here.
