Chapter 29
Eva's POV
Guilt filled my entire body at my deception, at the complete lies that I had told my mate. I was being selfish and narcissistic, not thinking about Torey or our unborn pup. Luara's face was all I could see in my mind; all I had been dreaming about and I needed to see her.
It was my fault that Nathan had taken her, and I needed to fix it. I brought him into our lives, and I needed to be the one to take him out of it. The likelihood of me being in danger was minimal, I would be surrounded by pack warriors and I was one myself. I had not trained as much in the past few months, but I was as strong as ever and I wouldn't run from a fight.
I would probably be within arm's reach of Torey.
Torey eyed me closely, he seemed wary of my words, with slight distrust and sadness within his tone.
"Are you sure?"
"I took three tests, Torey, I'm not pregnant." Lies continued to slip through and I didn't try to stop them. Neither I nor my wolf wanted to wait helplessly back here on pack land, she was with me on the decision.
We would be going with or without our mate's decision.
"Just because you're not pregnant Eva does not mean you are coming with me." He said, moving away from me and towards the door, his back facing me.
The air in the room had changed, his wolf’s presence suffocating me.
"You're not going and that's final." He stated before I could reply. His head had turned, his body still facing the door but his head to the side, looking back at me over his shoulder, his facial features clear along with the darkness of his eyes.
I shook my head at him, anger radiating off me as I walked towards him only for him to quickly leave the room, the door slamming behind him before I could get to it.
I reached for the door, but he had locked it, I could hear him from outside, he was ordering wolves to guard and protect me.
I allowed Torey to feel my anger towards him through our bond, but he blocked me out but not without promising to find our daughter.
I laid down on my bed, my mind racing, and I stayed like that for a little while. I knew Torey had not left yet; I had not felt the pull of him exiting the pack border.
The sound of the door unlocking had me up, racing towards it as I swung it open.
I found three bulky wolves standing on either side of the door along with one facing me. They were all blocking my way, one of their hands reaching out to stop me from leaving the confines of my bedroom.
"Excuse me." I gritted, trying to squeeze passed them, only for one to gently push me back.
"We're on strict instructions from the Alpha to keep you within your bedroom. If there is anything you need, we are more than happy to oblige." One of the guards informed me, I recognized him as Cane from training, he was tall in stature and full of muscle.
"I am perfectly capable of getting myself my own essentials, thank you." I replied, anger seeping through, it was not directed at him, but I felt somewhat bitter that Torey was getting pack wolves to babysit me.
The sound of cars pulling away had caught my attention, they had begun to leave. To catch up with them I would have to get past the guards and any other pack wolf that surrounded the territory.
"I apologize Luna, but you must stay here." Cane replied adamantly. I glared at all three of them before slamming the door shut and banging my fist on the door.
I growled deeply as I stared at the floor, I needed to get out of here, I needed a way out.
I ran towards the window and opened it. Careful and conscious, it could not creak, or it would notify the guards. I looked down at the grass and took in the long drop. I also noted the beautiful fluorescent vines trailing down the side of the house attached to the brick.
I had to take that way down to protect the pup I was carrying. Subconsciously, I blocked them out because I was too focused on Luara. It was not because one was more important than the other, it was simply a mother's instincts.
I tugged at the vines, pulling down hard with all my weight to check how strong they were. They were stable so I carefully made my way down until my feet landed safely on the ground.
Once my feet touched the grass, I raced towards the car park. A few vehicles were about to leave, and the others had a pretty good head start on me, but I knew the location of the witches' territory well. I had been there with Jason when we were younger, I knew a quicker route. I should catch up with them.
I rushed into the woods and shifted. Werewolves were able to shift during the first two months of pregnancy without harming the baby.
I followed my pack's scent until I recognized a shortcut that would get me to catch up with them.
My wolf was too antsy to enjoy the run like she would ordinarily have. We slowed down when I realized that my pack was a short distance away, they were a few miles ahead of me.
I had been running for hours when I got through the witches' claimed territory, they did not patrol it like werewolves would. They simply had designated areas for their rituals and covens. Three different covens were situated amongst this land.
When I finally noticed an abandoned warehouse, I could hear the growling and snarling of wolves. It was harsh in sound and intimidating; I hid behind a large tree, watching on as wolves ripped each other limb from limb.
Blood and body parts were scattered across the ground, blood soaking into the grass and staining it a bright red. From the looks of it, our pack was winning although rogues were more ruthless with their movements and techniques.
All my focus had been on the fighting that I had not noticed that someone was standing three feet behind me. It was not until a cold hand was placed on my shoulder that my entire body froze, becoming incredibly tense.
I slowly turned around, my whole body moving as I looked into an amused pair of eyes, a deadly smile gracing his features as his eyes flickered between his human and his wolf. His menacing black eyes bored into mine.
"Hello Eva."
I shivered as he spoke my name with such delight, it was disturbing and unsettling. The callousness behind his voice was sinister and the huge smile that plastered his face turned into a smirk as he took a step toward me.
With every step he took, I took one backward and it was not until my back hit a tree did real fright travel down my spine.
"And where do you think you're going?" Nathan questioned, his voice taunting me as he kept approaching.
