Regretted Rejection : Wrath of the Moon

Chapter 5

Xander and Maya spent a lovely day together wandering around the city.

Around lunch time they went to a cute little restaurant. The staff at the restaurant was werewolf and

they recognised Maya as their pseudo Luna and a few remembered Xander from yesterday's test. And

therefore, both of them had a lot of attention of the staff. They kept on coming to greet them and

possibly grab a few minutes of their attention.

When both of them left the restaurant, they were full with food. Xander turned to Maya and said, "The

staff was very hospitable and the food was great."

"Yes, they were trying to please us.", Maya replied.

"Yes, they were. But we didn't get any time to ourselves. I feel that if there was a place where no one

could disturb us...", he trailed off.

"Okay. There is a place just near our home that has the most beautiful pond. Almost no one goes there

due to the small dense road leading to it."

Xander parked near her home. They got out of the car and Maya took Xander's hand and led him

towards the tree line. She went a little inside and then sharply turned left. Both of them kept walking for

quite a while till the denseness of th forest broke to reveal a small pond filled with serene water. It was

a beautiful spot with trees and rocks encircling the water. There were little wildflowers of different

colours growing in the gaps of rocks.

Maya slipped off her heels and climbed over the rocks a little. She went near the pond and sat on a flat

rock with her legs in the water. Xander joined her, "This is so beautiful.. so serene."

Maya looked up to see him staring down at her. She smiled and laid her head on his shoulder.

"I am so sorry, Maya.", Xander murmured. Maya gazed at him confused, "What for?"

"For hurting you. Even though you are innocent, your father is not." , Xander replied.

"What? What are you talking about?" Maya asked bewildered. She suddenly felt a pinch in her neck

and her world blacked out.

Xander sighed and plucked the dart that had pricked Maya in her neck. A hooded figure stepped out

from the opposite side of the pond, "You realise killing her would have been easier?"

"Stop it, Claire. Our mission was to infiltrate this measly pack and make the Forrester's suffer for killing

our parents. I am going to make them suffer. They took away our parents, I am going to take away their

daughter. They would never know where she is but they will be able to feel her pain through their family

bond. I am going to make Maya Forrester pay for her father's mistakes and make sure that they know

it. Now be quick and carry her out."

"Calm down, will you? How are you going to get out?", Claire asked.

"I am going to walk out the front gate after informing them about their precious daughter."

"And they will let you go? Just like that?"

"Yes, Claire. They will. After all who other than me knows the whereabouts of their daughter? Also my

dear sister, wouldn't you kill her if they hurt a hair on my head?", Xander asked.

Claire just gave an evil smirk and said, "I will head out the other way. Stupid pseudo Luna, thinks she is Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

the only one who knows the lake."

Xander growled, "Just leave now." Claire picked up Maya and gave Xander a weird look.

--------------

Claire dumped the unconscious Maya in the back of a truck and covered her body with tarpaulin. She

knew that Xander had changed his plans because Maya was his mate. They had simply planned to kill

both the Alpha children and leave. But as soon as Xander found Maya, he had given up on their

original plan.

She thought that Xander had talked big about hurting Maya, but he would never be able to hurt her

much. Maya was after all his mate.

As the thoughts continue to filter Claire's head, she arrived at the place where they had planned to

keep Maya. But she drove straight past it without giving it a glance.

Driving for an hour or so, she came at the bar which was known to be infested with vampires and rogue

wolves. Living a life without their parents or pack had been difficult and she knew many such places

where the scum of the planet met and made deals.

She picked up Maya and walked all confident into the bar. Immediately all eyes were on them. She

walked up to the bar and placed Maya on the bar top. Immediately a few rogues surrounded them.

"Back up everyone.", Claire said firmly. Everyone did almost at once afterall an Alpha command laced

Claire's voice. "So.. this girl here is the precious pseudo Luna of the Forrester pack and I intend to sell

her off to the highest bidder." Claire announced brazenly.

"Is she dead?", an old rogue with a bad eye and rotting teeth asked.

"No. She is very much alive. I want hard cash, and a promise of unspeakable torture to her as the

price."

Hearing this all the patrons in the bar became extremely interested. After all, how many got to lay their

hands on an Alpha child? Let alone make them their slaves.

Immediately, everyone even the vampires stepped up to quote their price.

About ten minutes later Claire stepped out of the bar, highly pleased with herself. She placed a

suitcase filled with cash next to her in the truck and started driving back to their hideout.

--------------

Xander came out of the forest and headed up to the Alpha home. He knocked the door. It was opened

by Judy.

"Xander... What are you doing here alone? Where is Maya?", Judy asked.

"I will tell you everything Judy. Why don't you get your husband and your son down here?", Xander

replied.

Judy's wolf bristled with the insolence in his words. However a deep fear filled her and she tried

contacting Maya. But Judy was unable to reach her.

"Don't bother contacting Maya. She won't be able to answer." Xander said.

"You bastard. What have you done with my daughter?", Judy asked grabbing the collar of his shirt.

"Why don't you do as I say?", Xander replied calmly.

A sense of fear and uneasiness rolled through Judy and she mentally called out to her family.

"What happened Mom?", asked Ken coming into the room with his father.

"Why don't you ask your murderer father?", taunted Xander.
