Luna Ryley
I kept my chin held high as I walked down the stairs in this high-waisted white flowy gown. I would have found it beautiful if I wasn’t walking to my captor. The dress was sleeveless with a v-neckline and my swollen breasts were ready to pop out of the thin fabric. I refused to wear the heels that came with the dress. I
didn’t need to fall.
There were people all around and Alpha Connolly met me at the bottom of the stairs with his hand held out to me. I took his hand, hating myself for allowing him to touch me.
“Beautiful,” he mumbled, kissing my cheek. I forced a smile, loathing the bastard for putting his lips against my skin.
I bit my lip when my stomach tightened. I didn’t need him. knowing and I refuse to give birth here, without my mate.
“Come, you must be starving,” with a hand on the small of my back, he led me out of this room and into a dining room. It was intimate settling with just the head of the table on the left of it set. I looked around but didn’t see any of the people from earlier. Were they staff?
He pulled out the chair and I took a seat before his at the head of the table. Once he was sitting, he took my hand in his.

“I know this isn’t ideal, Ryley. But I was promised a Luna wolf and I won’t settle for anything less when it comes to my mate.” He looked at me with his piercing blue eyes.
“If you can’t promise me my baby will be safe, I would rather kill myself,” I told him.
I quickly covered my belly with my hands when a murderous growl rumbled from his chest. He ripped my hand back and pulled me towards him. My bump dug painfully into the oak table. I whimpered as his claws ripped into my hand.
“I’m not a monster,” he growled.
“I’m sorry,” I cried, fighting his grip.
Fear took hold when he stood up from his seat and forced me to stand. With one arm he swept the table and dishes and glasses went crashing to the floor. I slammed my eyes closed and my body trembled when he lifted me and sat me on the table. Tears streamed down my cheeks as he pushed the skirt up and he wrapped my legs around his waist.
“Please,” I begged as he wrapped his fingers around my throat.
“This isn’t a negotiation, Luna. You give me what I want and I will keep that bastard alive. You will remember your place.” I gasped when he ran his hand up my bare thigh and slipped it under my panties. He groaned his satisfaction.
I felt like I could breathe again when he removed his fingers from my core. He sniffed them and smiled.

“Shouldn’t be long now.” I clenched my jaw as my belly tightened again.
“Lily, do something,” I yelled at my wolf.
“Let’s get you to the hospital.” He pulled down my dress before he scooped me into his arms.
“I’m trying, but you are too emotional, Ryley. I can’t stop it,” she whimpered.
“No. this can’t be happening. I need Blake.” I cried to her.
“I’m giving you a week to heal and spend with the child. Then the child is being sent back to its father and you will be mine. Do you understand?” I cried out when he dug his claws into my thighs. “I understand,” I whispered.
“Good girl.”
The alpha walked into what looked like a hospital.
One week. I had one week to get the hell out of here with my
newborn.
“He’ll be ripped apart by then,” Lily growled.
“This way, Alpha,” a nurse came rushing over to us. He followed behind her and into a room with a bed.
“She’s in labor. Give her anything she requires. Make sure she is comfortable.” He commanded as he laid me down on the bed.

“I’ll be back in one week, Luna,” he kissed my forehead before he left, leaving me with the nurse.
“Get me Shea,” I demanded. I groaned when another contraction hit. “And a fucking doctor,” I yelled. She scurried from the room and I laid back, taking in harsh breaths.
A sob escaped as I held my bump.
“Blake, I need you,” I cried as my heart twisted painfully.
“Luna,” Shea rushed to my side.
“I need to get out of here, now,” I growled as I struggled to sit up.
“Luna, you are in no condition,” she whispered, but I shook my head.
“I’m not giving birth here. Get me something to slow down the labor, anything. And then get me out of here,” I begged, gripping onto her.
“Luna, I hear you are having a baby,” a woman walked into the
room.
“I’m not. I think I just needed some rest. I still have three more weeks.” I rushed out.
“I’ll be right back,” Shea mumbled in my ear. She removed my hands and hurried from the room.
“I’m Dr. Nics. Will you allow me to check to make sure?” she

smiled. But I knew better. She answers to the alpha and wouldn’t help me. No matter how much I beg.
“This isn’t my first baby. I know my body. I’m just going to rest and it will help.” I told her.
“I’ll get you some water and I’ll be just outside, okay? And if it becomes too much, let me know.” She bowed her head before leaving the room. I don’t think she believed anything I was saying but I didn’t care. I was not giving birth in this place.
The doctor came back in with a few bottles of water before leaving me alone again. I quickly grabbed a bottle and took small sips as I slowed down my breathing.
My heart was racing and I was scared. I missed my baby girl and boys. I missed my husband.
I gasped when a strong contraction hit.
“Please, baby, I need you to stay in there a little longer” I pleaded.
Shea came into the room and closed the door behind her. She put her finger to her lips.
“Put these on, Luna.” She handed me a pair of sweatpants. “I have a way out, but we need to leave now. They will be waiting for you.”
