Book Two Chapter Thirty-Two
Tessa
It’s been three months since I ran away with Sarah, leaving Aspen behind. Every night without him, I lose a little bit more of my soul. I was willing to risk everything to go back to him, even if he sent me back to my betrothed. Anything to make the pain in my chest go away.
I rubbed my tiny bump as I thought about what Aspen would think if he saw me now. Would he be happy I’m carrying his child or would he be furious I ran from him? I tried to tell myself that I had no choice. I had to keep Sarah alive. Without her, I wouldn’t have gotten away in the first place. But nothing eased the guilt or the heartache.
“I’m sorry, little one, I don’t know what to do,” I whispered as I looked out the window of the back garden of the motel. The older couple who owns it loves to garden and the building may be older but they keep it in great shape. The gardens make this place even more beautiful.
I jumped when the door was thrown open and Sarah rushed in. She was panting as she rested her hands on her knees. My stomach clenched as I knew what this would mean. We were going to have to leave this place.
“We leaving, aren’t we?” I asked as I watched her catch her breath.
“It’s not like that, Tess,” she panted. “Alpha Connolly has Luna Orion,” she exhaled and my blood ran cold. Why the hell would he have taken her? Aspen’s mother. She’s pregnant.

“Sarah, I don’t understand. How do you know this?” I stammered, heart bleeding for Aspen. He must be losing his mind with worry.

I gasped when a tall figure stood in the doorway of our small room. One hand over my mouth and the other over my tiny bump. He was an alpha and nothing I could do would save me from him if he attacked, but I had to try.
“Baby sister,” he stepped into the small space and closed the door behind him.

“It’s not what you think,” Sarah rushed as I stepped back until I hit the wall. Scanning the room, I tried to find another way out.
“Why would you do this? Why would you bring him here?” I shouted and my brother flinched.
“Dad’s dead,” he said, but that didn’t erase everything the pack had put me through. They all just stood there while he handed me over to that monster.
“I want you both to come home,” he wrapped an arm around Sarah’s waist and pulled her back against his chest. I looked between them, not believing what I was seeing with my own eyes.
“That’s how you were able to get us away.” I pointed at my brother. “He was helping.” Sarah nodded.
“I know this is a lot, Tess, but I need you to trust me.”
“Trust you,” I snapped. “You have lied to me this entire time. You have been with my brother. I thought you were my friend.” I cried, tears streaming down my cheeks.

“Sis, I understand, but the fewer people who knew about us the better. Dad would have never let her live if he knew.” Titus explained.
“I’m sorry, Tess, I’m so sorry, but I couldn’t risk anyone finding out.” She cried. My brother spun her and hugged her tightly against his chest. I haven’t seen this side of him in so long. Always afraid our father would find out and I would be punished.
I exhaled as I took a seat at the two-person table in the room. My head pounded with the new information.
“Did she tell you everything?” I questioned as he and Sarah sat on the edge of her bed.
“I know you are pregnant, Tessa. I also know the father is a future alpha from the other side. What I don’t understand is why you ran?”
“That doesn’t matter now, does it?” I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest.
“I’m sorry, Tess, I didn’t know your father had died or I would have told you to tell Aspen everything.” Sarah sniffled.
“So, what’s the plan now?” I sighed. I wasn’t happy about my best friend lying to me about being with my brother but I knew she was trying to keep me safe. Even though she should have told me the truth. “He knows you are a Luna wolf,” my brother stated.
“What are you talking about? I don’t even have my wolf yet. How would he know about my wolf when I don’t?”
“Luna wolves will start to show their abilities even without their wolves,

sis,” he stood up from the bed and took steps towards me as he cut his hand with a claw.
“What are you doing?” I gasped, blood dripping from his palm.
“Lick it,” he pushed his hand towards my face.
“Are you mad? I’m not licking blood,” I gaged, my stomach wasn’t handling this well.
“Then spit and I will prove to you what you are, Tessa,” he smirked. I pushed my lips into a line before pooling saliva in my mouth and I spit it in his hand. The gash closed, leaving nothing but healthy skin.
“How?” I breathed out.
“I can’t answer that, but I know that’s why Connolly wanted you and Dad sold you for a high price. And when you ran it fucked with his plan and he went after the only Luna wolf he knew of.” “Luna Orion,” I gasped and he nodded.
“I caught word she is pregnant. But you are as well and I won’t risk you.”
“I need to get her out of there. If I did it before, I can do it again. Luna Orion is Aspen’s mother. Adoptive mother.” My brother pinched his brow. “Long story,” I waved it off. “But I need to do this. I don’t think they even know who has taken her. They have been at war with their council. It’s why we had to leave.”
“Let’s get you both back to the pack and we will figure out a plan to get Luna Orion out of there safely, with her child. I still have people on the inside that will keep her safe, for now.”

“Okay,” I mumbled.

“Good, get packed. The jet leaves within the hour,” he kissed Sarah before he left our room.
“Tess,” I held up my hand to stop her.
“I understand why you did what you did, but right now we need to focus on getting Aspen’s mother back. I can not break his heart again.” She nodded before going around the room and stuffing things into her bag. I did the same as I thought of a plan to get her away from that monster. I knew what I had to do and this time I wouldn’t run.
