The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 21

CATHERINE.

I am startled awake by the rushing, harried feet running all over the place. My head was still covered but I could tell that they were lacking up.

Is this it?

Am I going to die now?

"I have to give it to your friends," that dead voice says from behind me. "They are very good at tracking."

What friends?

"They managed to track my scent here. Too bad they can't find it. Still, we would need to move. Be good now, okay?"

I feel him move around and soon the chains fall off.

"Ugh," my wolf whimpers.

"Are you alright?" I ask her.

Once the chains were in, I couldn't sense her again. I had been worried.

"I will be fine. Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

"No."

The man grabs my hand and begins to pull me out. I can't help but stumble thanks to the bruises and open wounds on my legs caused by the silver.

"Walk. Don't let me kill you now," he snarls.

"What does he want?" she asks, her voice still faint.

"Not him. Tammy."

"Tam- that bitch. What does she want with us now? How did she know you are alive?"

"No idea. All I know is that she sent this man to kill me."

"Why hasn't he then? Don't get me wrong, I am glad. But why? He has had enough time to do so."

"I don't know that either. It's not like I can exactly ask him questions, my mouth is gagged."

"All this time?"

"Yeah."

"Then why aren't you scared?"

"What?"

"I am in your head remember,? You are pretty calm up here."

"I am? I didn't notice."

"hmm."

"What?"

"Nothing. I jus-"

She doesn't get to finish her sentence because I am shoved into the back of some truck.

Before I can right myself and sit up, my legs are pulled roughly and the chains clamped around it.

"Mmph," I groan out at the pain and get promptly ignored.

My hands are treated in the same manner and the doors are shut closed.

And once again, I am alone.

BLACKWATER PACK.

DAMON

"Damn it!"

I have gone over this place over and over again and still nothing.

It has been three days since Catherine went missing and I keep returning here even when I don't have a reason to.

I just can't shake it. There is something here. I know it.

Ryder jigs up to me, face grim.

"Anything?" I ask.

"No."

"What am I missing?" I mutter as I turn away from him.

"Alpha, maybe w-"

"Alpha! Alpha! We found something!"

I turn and see one of the wolves at a far distance, waving at me, trying to get my attention.

Without wasting a second, Ryder and I run towards the man.

But before we get to him, he turns around and heads in another direction, but we don't slow down. We keep pace until we come to a stop in what looks like an underground tunnel. Hidden by several fallen trees.
