Her Stepping Stones

Absolute Confusion

Alpha Aaron P.O.V

I didn't think it would be her. So she killed the previous Luna just to take her spot. Now her Aura is a full on red color. I mentally scolded myself. That's why I was confused. She was underage two years ago. I don't know why I didn't think of it. I have to reject her before they complete the ceremony. I don't need that pain. I kept my beta nearby making sure things stay smooth. "Lina is my mate for sure", I mind linked Dom. "If what you're saying is true we need to stop this". I shook my head and walked towards the direction of my scheming mate.

After that hurtful encounter I made my way to the bar. I ordered a jack and coke. I took a sip and savored it. It's been so long since I had a proper drink. I know I'm underage but where I live I had my fair share of parties. I still had fifteen minutes before I needed to be over on the gazebo. I felt my wolf go completely restless. I haven't shifted yet due to my withering body. We shift on our eighteenth birthday but my birthday was spent in horrible suspense. What is going on with her?

I found her at the bar and watched her for a few minutes. I have a feeling there's more to her than I'm assuming. Maybe I shouldn't be so quick to reject her. She does look depressed sitting there gulping at her drink. Something isn't right. With a sigh I walked up and sat next to her. She kept looking forward as if I would disappear eventually. " What are we gonna do about this bond"? I continued to stare right at her. " Listen, I don't know what you want to do but", her voice grew lower. "If you think that I'm sealing the bond with Alpha Gage because I want to, then you'll have a rude awakening". I pondered what she said for a moment. " Currently, the Luna, your mother, is here trapped down in the basement. Before you try to dispute me I've been locked up with her for two years. You may not wanna help me, fine but help her". With that she finished her drink and walked off towards the gazebo. Just as I was about to chase her Triss came through the link. "Alpha, you're not gonna believe this. I found her. I found our luna", he said excitedly." My mother", I whispered.

The party was in full swing when I made my way around. I believed the basement had a tunnel that would lead us straight to the girls. I headed inside and was greeted by an omega. " Sir, the party is that way", she pointed. " I need to use the bathroom, I lied. " The warrior bathrooms are what you can use I'm told. We've made sure they've been thoroughly cleaned up". s**t, think, think damnit. "Uhhh that's the thing, I'm a bit toilet shy. I only use toilets that are fully closed with four walls and a door. I apologize for being picky I just have this phobia I suppose." Let's hope she bought that. " Oh, Okay no problem there's one right here in the living area", she said smiling. I walked in and waited for about two minutes. After I checked to make sure I'm in the clear I headed to the kitchen and inspected the doors. One was a pantry. Definitely not what I was looking for. The other door was locked. I checked out the pad lock and pulled out a lock picking tool I personally saw to buying. I put it on the lock and pressed the button. Within seconds it picked the lock. Easy stuff I thought. I walked down the steps carefully to avoid making sounds. I got down there and saw a couple cells. All were empty. When I looked further I noticed a fake wall at the end. I aimed the infrared camera at the wall and discovered there was a hall way. "Bingo", I whispered. Then I heard rustling behind me. I turned quickly and the infrared picked up a person in the first cell. "Hello," I said. I walked closer to the body I was seeing but weirdly enough I couldn't see with my eyes. When I got close enough whatever it was grabbed my arm. I tried to pull back but whoever this was happened to be very strong. "Who are you", I gritted my teeth. " That's no way to treat your Luna Triss". I looked up and saw her clearly. Now that she touched me I could see her. "L- Luna", I stuttered. " Get me out of here and tell my son Lina comes with us."
