The Blue Wolf
Chapter 25

Arabella’s Perspective:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

William’s Perspective:

I ran and ran until my limbs felt like noodles. I had been running for at least the past hour. I finally stopped and sat down catching my breath, trying to calm the f**k down.

I couldn’t shake my anger. I couldn’t choose what I was angrier at. At myself for permitting him to pick her up today instead of following my intuition that this guy was up to no good? At Ryker and his audacity? At my parents for allowing this guy to roam our grounds, which led to Ara meeting the sleaze? Or at Arabella for not trusting me in the first place and befriending the sleaze?

I knew Arabella had pulled herself away. Then she had punched his jaw and defended herself. I knew she didn’t reciprocate anything to him at all. But still, I felt cheated or something.

The fact that she had a bite on her lips from him even though it was healed now, made me feel like killing myself. All I could think about was killing Ryker. If I found him, I’d yank his heart out of his chest. I don’t know how he so effortlessly fought me and Michael both off. I could take down twenty wolves by myself. Twenty-five if I was furious.

It felt like there was another force surrounding him. There had to be a witch nearby. I had to talk to Simonetta ASAP. I had to ask her about this. I mind-linked Sami to get all the information he could on what happened from Simonetta.

Michael had notified me through mind already that he had spoken to the council and told them the entire situation. They had agreed, that if Ryker came on our grounds they would have him executed, and also that they’d let him know this information within the hour. Sami had let me know that Arabella was in our room pacing back and forth the last he went up to go speak to her.

I had completely blocked my mind from her. Not wanting to see her or talk to her right now.

But I realized I couldn’t hide forever. I started making my way home.

When I opened our bedroom door she was sitting on the corner of my bed. She reminded me of a child when they feel guilty for something. She stood up and started walking towards me. I moved away from her reach. She frowned at my action. I looked at her in disgust “Go shower, brush your teeth, and your lips, and please change your clothes. I can’t talk to you while his scent is still on you.”

“William, if that doesn’t prove that you’re still angry, I don’t know what does. I already did all that, and I had the clothes that I was wearing before burned. Down to the socks. So his scent couldn’t be anywhere.”

I looked at her “Well I am angry. I went over to the bed and sat down. She walked up to me again and kneeled in front of me, putting her hands on my knees. “William please say something. I’m sorry. I swear I punched him in the jaw. And I swear I saw him as an older brother, nothing more. That’s why I felt so safe. You were completely right all along. I’m sorry. I’ll do anything. Anything. Or if you want, you can do anything to me.”

I looked into her eyes with an agitated expression “I know.” She stood up and sat beside me “Do you forgive me?” I looked at her “Forgive you for what?” She said, “For not listening to you?” I said “Obviously” She leaned forward to k**s me and I pushed her lightly away from me “No…..look. I can’t f*****g do this right now.” And storm out of the room.

Arabella’s Perspective:

William was right about everything. I even admitted that to Will. But I wasn’t expecting him to be so mean to me. After all, I did strike Ryker as hard as I could. It’s not like I stood there kissing him. So why wasn’t Will calming down now?

The day felt like It went on forever. I spent the whole day alone in the house. I had my breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the balcony alone. Waiting for Will like a loser. Sophie came to hang out around 7 pm. She said “Will is gonna come around. He’s just being over the top right now. I think maybe it’s an Alpha thing. Anyways. You shouldn’t worry. He’s yours. He’s not going anywhere, Arabella.” Sophie left around 9. Around 10 pm I fell asleep in defeat.

I woke up and looked at the clock. It read 3:05 am. I got up frustratedly. This was ridiculous. William still didn’t come home. Fine. If he didn’t come. Then I’d go looking for him.

I put on my tights, and warm socks, then I tugged on my long black boots. For some reason, Gem told me to bring the dagger Will’s mom gifted me. I spoke to Gem “We’re looking for him, not going to kill him.” Gem said, “Just for safety.” I ended up listening to her and left.

I went all over the pack grounds first, trying to smell William’s scent. I didn’t pick up on it anywhere. I even passed the tree I had my back to when Will found me and marked me. Where the hell could he be? Hmm, maybe the garden? I was looking around the huge Garden now. Hoping to find Will sitting sadly on one of the benches alone. Suddenly I think I see an outline of a figure sitting on the bench about ten feet ahead of me, behind a bush. It has to be William.

When I get to the bench. It’s the last person I think I’d see. Ryker gets up quickly, grins at me evilly. I gasp. Before I can shift into my wolf he digs into his pocket and throws a black sparkly powder on me. I try to fight through the sleep that wants to take over me but I can’t. Before I know it, all I see is darkness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I finally regain consciousness, I’m in some sort of strange-looking hospital room. I’m on a cold leather sofa chair, with my wrists, and ankles chained up to a lock in the wall. My wrists are behind me, like the way police handcuffs force you to be, I smirk knowing I can get out of these locks within seconds. But when I try I can’t. What the hell?

I try to tug out the lock from the wall. That doesn’t work either. What the f**k is happening? It’s like all my strength is gone. After about five minutes of trying different things, I huff and stop. I stand up and try opening the door with my jaw. It’s also locked. I look around for any exit I can use. Nothing.

Just as I sit down, the door starts opening. It’s Ryker. He has an awful crazy evil look on his face.

I look at him like I don’t care about anything happening to me like I’m unfazed. I don’t want him to have the satisfaction of thinking I’m scared.

He sits down on a chair in front of me “Goood goooood……you’re awake. Okay, look. Let’s start this with an easy way out of any sort of pain for you my dear. I’m going to give you two choices, one, you reject that lame f**k, and accept me as your alpha and become Luna of The Eclipse Pack.” I think to myself (Never) He puts up two fingers “Or two, live in this room for the rest of your life. Mate with me here. Deliver your babies here. Never see them again. Die in this room. So what do you choose honey?”

I laugh like a maniac. “Ryker, you listen to me honey, William is going to find you. He’s going to rip your heart out. If you let me go, I can convince him to just let it go. And that’s a promise.”

Ryker stands up and slaps his thighs then says in a creepy tone “You knowwwww……. I really tried, I really really really did try to do this the morale way, try to make you fall for me. Pretend like I was interested in f*****g leaves and photography. HELL, I even took a photography class, just so it’d seem more realistic. I even complimented that moron.” He does a fake gag. ” But you’re just a stubborn bitch, so f**k it. Now we’re gonna have to do this my way.”

I smile “And what’s your way?” Ryker looks up at me and laughs psychotically “Oooooh let’s seeeeee. Let’s start by taking your b***d and doing some experiments on you. Oh yes yes yes and my favorite, blocking your ability to communicate with your pack.”

I shudder in my spot. Ryker says nothing more, walks away, slams the door, and leaves.

I immediately try my hardest to link William. But I sense he has his block up. What an idiot. Then I try Sami, he responds right away “Luna, we’re all so worried, where are you? Are you with Alpha Will? We haven’t found him yet either.”

I quickly respond “Samuel, listen to me closely, when Will comes back tell him Ryker kidnapped me using some sort of black dust, to knock me out. He is going to do some experiments on me or something. He said I can either become his Packs Luna or live in this room for the rest of my life. Tell Will I loved him with everything I am. And please notify my family I loved them very much too and that I’m dead if I die. I don’t know where I am. It just looks like a weird, old hospital room. Ryker’s taking away my ability to link you guys. Please find me if you can.”

Sami responds “I got everything. I will do all that Luna.” At that moment Ryker walks back in with a woman who’s wearing a white lab coat, so I’m guessing she’s a Doctor and a wooden box.
