The Unlikely Luna

7. A Perfect life?

*Angelica's POV*

I woke up with a start and couldn't help but pant as I looked around the room to try and piece together what has happened. I was back in my bed... everything as I had left it... even the clothes I left on the floor as I was preparing for bed... Seth was asleep beside me. I couldn't shake this feeling that something didn't feel right. I looked at my finger to see a ring I didn't recognize... that wasn't my engagement ring... was it? My ring was white gold with a simple cubic zirconia gem... slightly smaller than the band... this one was white gold and rose gold accents, a large diamond and a few amethyst gems surrounding it much like a flower. my hair was shorter than I remembered. I couldn't quite figure out what was going on but I was definitely sure this was not reality...

I got up out of bed and began to pick up the floor and other things around the house. I took a quick shower and put on my favorite sundress and sandals. I put my hair up in a bun and started working on making food for the both of us. As I looked in the cabinets, I noticed different food there than I remembered... Normally Seth would do the shopping and just buy what he would want. Now, there was flour... oatmeal... fruit... all of the things I had asked him to buy before... Weird...

I quickly decided on just making some simple omelets for the time being and figure it out later. As I was cooking some bacon to go with it, Seth came into the kitchen with a big smile on his face. Another thing that I was not at all used to...

"Well good morning, Angel. Did you sleep well?'

"I did... are you feeling okay? I haven't seen you this happy in a while..."

"What are you talking about? I'm like this every morning I see your gorgeous face. Your voice just moves me and seeing you so happy in your element here... I couldn't be happier. I feel so happy and proud that you agreed to be my wife... Oh! Don't forget we are meeting with Alpha Jordan after breakfast to start planning the wedding."

"Seth, This definitely does not feel right... I'm telling you something is wrong... this is not how our life usually is... normally you are... well-"

"Selfish? Yes... you are right... when you went missing, I vowed to myself and to the Moon Goddess that I would change and do right by you should she bring you back into my life. Alpha Jordan and I found you... We had to bring you home... I was going crazy without you... not having you just made me realize how much of a d**k I was to you... I never want to risk losing you again..."

Seth hurried over to me and held me close. Yet, it felt so wrong. This was the life I dreamt of and wanted for so long... yet this felt like I was trying to live someone else's life... All I could do was play along and hope that I could find out what is the truth... I mean... would it really be so bad to give in to this life and see where it grows?

While we were eating, Seth just kept praising my cooking. Something he never did before. He quickly got dressed putting on outfits I had previously purchased (that again, he never wore), and was a perfect gentleman. He kept asking me if I was okay, opening doors for me and held my hand. It was straight out of my journal. This just really did not feel right... the ring was my dream ring, all of this was my perfect world. A perfect life... the life I thought I wanted...

Seth insisted we take his police cruiser to meet Jordan since he was at the agency working on some smaller projects. Everything about this put me on edge on I couldn't help but be tense the entire ride to the agency. Once we stepped in, I immediately went to my desk and started to log in when Jordan came out.

"Angelica, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to help with these projects... like I always do..."

"Oh, don't worry about it at all dear. You can help by coming to my office so we can talk about the wedding."

"No. I have questions and I need answers..."

"Seth and I both realized how much we take you for granted and wanted to make things up to you so yes, our behavior has changed but only because nearly losing you opened our eyes. Erica and Jerry are missing and I cannot even reach them. So I am stressed about it. I'm here trying to figure out what happened."

Something really did not seem right...I could hear other voices in his office and they were discussing something completely different...

"It's a shame that guy got her out before we had our turns... She is definitely a looker... Maybe Alpha will keep his promise and let us have her in the backroom..."

"I hope so... I got it set up and planned... she won't escape this time."

Fuck... I knew this was all too good to be true... Alpha Jordan just looked at me with this mischievous look in his eyes. Seth was walking back towards the backroom. I was cornered and had no idea where to go from here... I wanted desperately to get out of here and get back to David... I knew he would be able to save me and to help me... I mean... he's my mate!

"Angel?! What's wrong? I can hear you screaming for help in my head!"

"Wait, we can mindlink?!"

"Mates can... you must have accepted me as your mate... finally... where are you?"

"The agency... I just... I just..."

I couldn't even finish my thought. I felt my bones shift and pop as they changed in structure. I felt this tickling sensation all over my body. My sense of smell and sight changed as well as I could better take in the world around me. I was suddenly on all fours and I just felt so free... Alpha Jordan looked very surprised and I could hear David's voice in my head as he was trying to figure out what was going on. Alpha Jordan just kept trying to get me to submit and I couldn't help but growl. He did not scare me anymore... I couldn't let him have that kind of power over me. He showed his true intentions and I would not let him win this... I deserved better and would fight with every ounce of my being if that is what it would take. One way or another, I will be free...
