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.
