"And how long will we stay here?" Abby decided to ask, eyeing him suspiciously.
-Why do not you like it? Would you prefer a dungeon? Her,” she spoke mockingly without taking her eyes off Abby. Abductees are never given privileges.
"That's not what I meant, funny. " Abby shook her head slightly in denial. She just wanted to know how long this absurd game will last. Is it that you always choose to ambush a vehicle to kidnap pretty girls? You have spoken, but you have not explained yourself.
“You can't be persuaded, pretty.
—I'm a smart girl and I'm not ashamed to admit it, so you know: I won't fall for your game.
—But you're already here, and I know you won't say the same when we advance to the next level. You are already in the claws of the wolf and here you will stay.
-Explain yourself! Abby exclaimed, breaking out a bit and showing signs of her anger. She couldn't suppress it anymore, she was tired of not knowing the truth, and so was I.
"This is not the time, I have to talk to my friend first and then we'll decide what to tell them, and what to do with her," he pointed at me again. I crossed my arms looking at him with some annoyance and defiance, deciding to sit on the sofa to continue witnessing the drama between the two of them. But it is better that you enter this information in your mind, pretty moon, from today your life belongs to me.
-That? Oh no. Wait, first don't call me pretty, let alone moon! My name is Abby and I will not stay here with you, Rouse and I will go back to our parents. You are a stranger who I don't want to be around, you are dangerous and a stranger never brings anything good. We don't know each other at all for you to be trying to make a decision for me. I do not even know your name!
"I'm Edward," she said right away. I placed my elbow on the armrest of the sofa and cupped my fist against my cheek, watching them with interest and expectation. I was enjoying watching Abby lose control, she wouldn't be so calm if she knew we were in danger, but apparently Edward didn't want to hurt us. And he didn't give me a bad feeling.
"That doesn't change anything," Abby claimed with a sarcastic laugh. The unknown kidnapper is called Edward, oh, he just revealed his name to me! Serious mistake. Now I can also give that information to the police when they ask me to make a spoken portrait of your face to catch you for being what you are, a criminal!
"I'm not a f*****g criminal!" I'm just trying to introduce myself to you.
"But isn't that done when we first meet?" How long has it been? She remembered that I existed, too, and she looked at me. Rouse, how long do you think it took for this rude person here to finally deign to tell us his name?
I don't know, about two hours?
"f**k you're infuriating," Edward rebutted. But that doesn't change things, you're daring and I like it.
"And the Romeo is back," I muttered under my breath.
Abby had remained silent, but she took a step back putting a distance between the two when she noticed that Edward had gotten too close to her.
"Get away, you can't talk to me like that" my friend recovered her voice. We don't know each other, don't say you like me when you don't even know my last name or my age. And speaking of that, how old are you? Thirty?
Edward was outraged to hear that amount.
"I'm only 22 years old," he defended himself.
—And I'm 16. Now you're not only going to be arrested for kidnapping but also for being a pedophile.
-No. You're reaching a limit that I won't allow,” Edward refuted, annoyed. And he no longer looked funny or anything, his serious expression had returned. Watch your words, moon.
“Abby, my name is Abby. And I am only telling you your truths, or are you one of those who do not accept the opinion of others?
"Careful, Abby. You don't want to wake the beast in me,” Edward warned her with a note of menace creeping into each of his seriously spoken words.
The situation no longer seemed funny to me when I noticed that. I straightened up without taking my eyes off them, and swallowing, fearing a little for Abby. She was ready to pick me up and intervene. My friend would not remain silent, she knew her.
But my intervention was not necessary because just at that moment, Hazal's voice filled the room.
"Look who I ran into." I looked at her and saw that she was accompanied by two men.
We all pay attention to it. Abby and Edward distanced themselves, but not before glancing at each other.
"Alpha Edward, as punctual as ever," one of the men greeted him, walking up to him and squeezing his hand affably.
"You already said it, Posey," Edward replied.
"Nice to see you again, alpha," the other man told him. This Hazal she held by one arm.
"Same here, friend, it's been several months," Edward commented, greeting him in the same way as the first. He already looked more relaxed.
Then the two guys fixed their eyes on my friend and me, as if they had suddenly remembered something.
"Which of the two is it?" the man with Hazal asked Edward. He was a man of about twenty-five dressed in a casual suit, with light brown hair, white complexion and light eyes, his hard-featured face looking anxious at the moment.
"My girl is Abby," she replied, walking over to my friend and grabbing her hand, an act that Abby immediately noticed as she wanted to break free of her grip.
-And who are you? I heard a male voice next to me, I looked up to see the first man who had spoken first right next to the sofa, I straightened my back, sitting correctly and looked at him shyly. He was a blond boy, his face looked younger than the other men in the room, and his blue eyes sparkled curiously.
