Luna on The Run I Stole the Alphas Son

Read Luna on The Run – I Stole The Alpha’s Sons Chapter 16

The drive to the settlement took roughly half an hour. It was deep within the forest along a dirt track that snaked between the trees and kept the place obscured from the road. What I wasn‘t expecting was to find it was a pretty small but established little settlement. What looked like an old abandoned warehouse had been turned into makeshift apartments. As we approached and Jake parked on the grass, I could see women moving about, rushing off in different directions. 

A few eyed the car, and I got a few curious looks from those walking past. Three women stood by a clothesline that was running between the trees, hanging out sheets. Jake stops the car and climbs out. However, one thing I noticed was that it was all women, not a man in sight. 

Despite Jake‘s claims that they were used to him now, they did not all look comfortable with him here, or was it me they weren‘t comfortable with? That much was certain as he climbed out, and the rogue women took off except those that stood by the makeshift clothesline. Jake pops the trunk, and I watch as he moves toward them with the box in his hands. 

I expected him to give it to them and return when I saw him talking to the older woman. Her eyes darted to me sitting in the passenger seat before she nodded, and they both walked off into the old abandoned warehouse together. The other two women watch them go until Jake waves for them to follow him. 

“I thought he said they were used to him,” Lexa asks as we watch them disappear inside with him. I thought it was a little 

strange too. They almost appeared frightened. 

“Well, they are rogue. You know how skittish they are; I‘m a complete stranger to them. I‘m sure it‘s nothing,” I tell her before realizing I, too, was now a rogue. This place here was probably my future, and that thought kind of scared me. So I could see how these women would be a little wary of people in the settlement, yet as Jake said, his tiny slice of kindness was probably heavily relied on because I could tell they didn‘t have much out here besides their few vegetable gardens, and what I 

could tell of their belongs it was either hand made or in bad condition. Even the sheets the woman were hanging on the clothesline were holey and stained. I wanted to help them, yet had no idea how. They were so far out and in a remote place.
