Chapter 27

Alaska POV

I sit on the side of the bed with Finn beside me. I hold his hand in case someone is watching, plus it feels nice to have someone I know comfort me right now. I want to ask him about the girl who escaped, but I am unsure if I can.

"How did you find me, Finn?" I ask him. He smiles and leans in as if he is going to kiss me. He understands why I am asking what I am asking.

"I had a visitor at the packhouse. She is safe," Finn whispers.

"I feel safe," I say. I do not feel safe, but I have to play the part. I have to pretend I love him and pretend I am sorry that I slept with Alpha Kai.

The girl was with me when I first woke up. She was alone before I got there. She said she was scared. I remember a little about the first place Alpha Larringer held me, and then I woke up in the basement. I wonder why he waited until I was in the cellar to come to terrorize me, or did he?

"My brain is scrambled eggs from all the wolfsbane. How long have I been here?" I ask Finn.

Finn looks a little worried, but then he takes a deep breath and answers me. "Umm, a week. It took a week to get the information I needed to return home," Finn says.

I look up, trying to stop the tears from flowing down my face. "A week? I was out of it for a week," I say.

I try to think about the first place I was, with the girl who escaped. I think hard about how she got out and what I told her. I remember telling her how to get to Alpha Kai and what to say when she got there. She was chained up but behaving. I was the only one getting the wolfsbane. She managed to free herself and shift into her wolf. Is that what happened?

"You are safe, Alaska," Finn says. He pulls me close to him. I lay my head on his chest and cry.

The door opens, and Alpha Larringer is in the room. He is looking at us and smiling. I hope Alpha Kai rips his head off. I want him to die with that ugly smile on his face. "Well, it seems the two of you have made peace with each other. The wedding is arranged and will begin promptly at seven tonight. She wolves will be coming to get you ready in an hour, Alaska. Finn, I have a tux waiting for you in your old room. See you two love birds soon," Alpha Larringer says.

I do not even look up as Alpha Larringer leaves the room. I begin to cry again and cannot stop. "Is she really safe?" I ask.

"Yes, Alpha Kai has Candy looking after her. She is going to be fine. Are you going to be okay?" Finn asks me. His hand touches my chin and I look up into his eyes.

"You have saved me so many times, Finn. I do not deserve your friendship or kindness," I say.

"You deserve more than anything I could give you, Alaska. I am happy you find Alpha Kai. I only want you to be happy. Let's both concentrate on getting out of this mess we are in and get you home," Finn says.

I nod my head, and lay my head back on his chest to cry out the rest of the pain I am feeling. "Let it out," Finn says. He rubs my back, and I continue to cry.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK "Come in," Finn says.

Five she wolves come into the room. "We are here for Miss Alaska," one of the she wolves says.

"I am ready," I say. I lean down and kiss Finn on the cheek.

The she wolves surround me as we leave the room. A plump short she wolf is leading the way. "Do not try to run or fight us. We have instructions to use whatever we feel is necessary if you get out of line, Alaska," the plump one says as she walks ahead of me.

"Got it. I am not planning to run or give you any trouble," I say.

She stops and turns around. She smiles that same evil smile as Alpha Larringer. I hope I get to slap that smile off her face before this is over. "No bullshit. I could care less who you are; I will sedate you or kill you if you do anything to get me in trouble with Alpha Larringer," the plump wolf says.

"I said I am not planning to cause you any problems. Now, let's get me ready for this damn wedding," I say to her, taking a step forward to let her know I am not fucking with her. I am angry now.

The plump short she wolf turns around, and we begin walking to the last room on the left. We go inside the room. In the corner is a white dress hanging. Hell, I did not even get to pick my dress for this forced wedding. I hope Alpha Kai is really coming to help me. What if Finn is lying to me just to get me to cooperate? I try to listen to Alpha Kai through our mate bond.

Kai, I need you right now. I need to know you are coming for me. I cannot do this alone. I listen for him. If he is here to rescue, then I should be able to hear him. Where are you, Kai? Oh Fuck, Finn lied to me. Finn is here for himself! I begin to cry.

Calm down, my love. I hear him. I can hear Alpha Kai. He is here for me. He is here to save me. Finn did not lie.

"There is no time for crying," the plump she wolf says.

I look at her and smile. " I am just so happy for today. These are tears of happiness," I say to her. I cannot wait to see this bitch die.
