Chapter 21
Three men were sitting in the office and were laughing like devils.
"By the way Abram, I must say, you acted so well that Natalie fell in your bait (trap)”, A man told laughing.
"Gamma Eric, you are a genius. Your plan was just marvelous”, The other man said smiling.
"Thank you, Alpha Carl", The man replied. Those three men were Gamma Eric, Alpha Carl, and Abram of the Red Blood Pack.
"So, what is the next step?”, Abram asked.
"The next step is placing spy camera's in the entire territory of Blue Moon Pack so that they can be kept under surveillance”, Gamma Eric replied.
"But Eric, how will we do that?", Carl asked.
"Alpha we will proceed with the plan. Natalie believes that Abram is a good person and is against us. I am sure she would tell this to Theodore and would have sent him to search for Abram. I am also sure Theodore along with his warriors will come, to the forest to search for Abram”, Gamma Eric replied.
"So 1 will I hurt myself deliberately and will lay unconscious in the forest so that Theodore will himself take me to his pack”, Abram said smiling evilly.
"But Eric, winning Theodore's trust is not that easy", Alpha Carl said worriedly.
"I have a solution for that too, Alpha", Gamma Eric replied smirking. "There are many of our spies in Blue Moon Pack. All we have to do is pinpoint a few of them surrounding Theodore, and thus gain his trust”, Gamma Eric said smirking.
"You are genius Gamma Eric, absolutely genius”, Alpha Carl replied hugging Eric.
"Thank you, Alpha”, Gamma Eric replied hugging Carl back.
NATALIE'S POV:
I was brought back to the pack by Zen and Daniel. When Cassandra, Anna, and Kylie saw me, they came rushing and hugged me tightly.
"Are you okay, Natalie? Why did you run away and with whom?', They asked.
"Zen where is Theodore and Steven?”, Anna asked.
I started crying thinking about Abram. What if Carl kills him? Another person will die to protect me. Why can't I protect myself? Why am I so weak?
"Natalie, please stop crying”, Kylie told softly. Suddenly I saw Theodore and Steven coming to the room. I rushed to Theodore and asked, "Where is Abram is he safe?"
He didn't answer my question which made me angry. "Theodore, I am asking you something. Where is Abram?"
"How do you know him? And why are you so concerned about him? Do you like him?", Theodore asked.
"Theodore first you answer my question is he safe?”, I asked.
"You need not worry about him, he's not your mate. I am your mate, so you better answer my questions”, Theodore yelled at me. I was angry at him. He was acting like a madly obsessed lover. "How can you be so possessive Theodore?", I asked angrily.
"Because you are my mate and I love you. I can't hear any other man's name from your mouth. Do you get that?", He roared, holding my jaws angrily. I winced in pain.
"You know what Theodore, this is your bloody insecurity. I thought only we humans have these tendencies, like possessiveness, jealousy, never knew that you werewolves too had these stupid tendencies”, I yelled back at him.
"These tendencies like possessiveness, jealousy which you're talking about, is there in humans as well as animals who love someone deeply. Just like you have these feelings for Abram. Isn't it?", he asked clutching my waist.
"You're sick, bloody sick. I went with Abram to my house to get this locket which dad gave me on my eighth birthday", I yelled showing that locket."And stop getting jealous of Abram, and better be thankful to him, he has gone against his brother to save me, to save you, to save our entire pack” "Natalie, can you please tell to us everything in detail?", Steven asked.
I narrated everything to them and they all were shocked.
"What will you say now, Theodore? You should be obliged to him that he saved me, he saved you and your pack by notifying us about Carl's plan beforehand”, I told bitterly.
"Does Abram love you?", Steven asked.
"Yes", I replied. "Do you love him back?", Theodore asked clenching his fist.
"No", I replied not looking towards him as I was angry. "Look into my eyes and say that you don't love him back,” Theodore said.
"Are you crazy? It's not a movie-going on", I told frustratedly.
"Yes, I am crazy. Look into my eyes and say that you don't love him", He told grabbing my arms.
"I liked him, but since you've come into my life since I have got to know the entire truth from you, you hold a special place in my heart and no one is going to take that place”, I replied sincerely looking into his eyes.
He hugged me and I hugged him back and whispered, "Theodore, I don't want to live in a pang of guilt my entire life. Abram tried to save me, if god forbid something happens to him I won't be able to forgive myself"
"I'll go back to the forest and will search for him.", He replied kissing my forehead.
"Thank you", I replied with tears in my eyes. He wiped off my tears and whispered in my ears, "I Love you"
"Girls, take care of her. We'll be back by evening”, Theodore said and left with Zen, Steven, and Daniel to search for Abram
"Natalie you freshen up quickly and then we will have lunch”, Anna told.
"No, Anna until Theodore and Abram comes back safely, I'll not have a single bite" I replied. "Natalie, Theodore will kill us if you don't eat anything”, Kylie told.
"Please don't force me Kylie, and if you don't mind can you all leave me alone for some time. I am having a severe headache" I said, rubbing my temples.
"Shall we call the doctor?”, Cassandra asked worriedly. *
No--I just want to take a nap. Please wake me up when Theodore comes" I replied
They nodded and vacated the room. I sat on the study table praying for Theodore and Abram'’s well being. My eyes started drooping because of tiredness and I went into a deep slumber.
Theodore was working in his office when suddenly an omega came rushing and panting heavily. "Alpha, Alpha we have been attacked by the Red Blood Pack", she informed.
Steven too came running. "Theodore someone has put the spy cameras everywhere. Someone is keeping an eye on our every movement”, he informed
"Get our pack ready for the fight", Theodore told and came running to the bedroom. I was sitting on the bed along with Cassandra, Kylie, Anna, and her daughter Ziva and we were playing games. "Theodore, what's the matter? You seemed to be stressed”, Cassandra asked.
"We are been attacked by the Red Blood Pack. Girls, you all go to the room and Natalie you come with me”, Theodore said, dragging me out of the room.
"Theodore, where are you taking me?", I asked. "Where can I take you, Natalie, there are spy camera's everywhere. Oh, moon goddess, please protect my mate, my pack", Theodore said with tears in his eyes.
Suddenly a wolf came from behind and pounced upon Theodore.
"Theodore------", I screamed.
I opened my eyes and found myself in the room. Oh, such a bad dream it was. Kylie, Anna, and Cassandra came running to the room.
"Natalie are you okay?", Kylie asked worriedly.
"Yes I am fine, I had a bad dream”, I replied.
"Natalie, why is your locket glowing?", Cassandra asked.
I looked at the locket which was around my neck and saw that it was emitting red light. I was confused about what does that means.
"It's a sign of danger", Anna said.
"Omega", Kylie called out and a woman came running. "Yes, Ma'am"
"Ask the Sentinals to patrol the pack. There is danger around", Kylie ordered.
The Omega nodded and left from there. I was unaware of what was going on. I was worried about Theodore. I wanted him to be safe.
"Anna, where is Theodore?", I asked.
"Natalie, he has not yet come”, Anna replied and fear started overcoming me.
"Oh, Christ. I hope I did not commit a mistake by sending him back to the jungle!" I muttered crying. "Natalie, please stop crying, sweetheart!" Cassandra said.
"If something happens to Theodore, I won't be able to forgive myself!" I cried.
"Nothing will happen to him, Natalie. Have faith in the moon goddess!" Anna said
