Luna on The Run I Stole the Alphas Son

Alpha on the Hunt Chapter 27

“So, after I learned Phaedra had died, I had him locate Pe- tra and the pack she was in.” Sondra looks out at the women setting up the yard and cleaning up after the kids, her eyes turning glassy, and a tear slips down her cheek. She quickly wipes it and clears her throat.

“We knew if Floyd found out, he would have stopped us, so we kept it from him. These women were slaves to their mates, purely kept for their sick amusement. Unfortunately, Marco couldn’t do anything. Packs were handled by the al- pha, and unless one of the women came forward and com- plained, his hands were tied. Mary and I knew they never would. They were petrified and knew they would be caught. But not Petra. Petra wanted out, and so did a few others. We used to meet Petra in the woods and plan their escape. De- spite that, she said the women were too scared.”

“So, how did they get out?” I ask her, and she holds up her bottle of rum and shakes it. She takes a sip and sets it back in the crook of her arm.

“I had Marco get me concentrated wolfsbane. I gave it to Petra when I visited her and told her to poison their liquor on the next pack meeting; if you could call it that, it was basically an orgy, the women shared between the pack.”

“So she poisoned them?” Sondra nods her head and purs- es her lips,

“Yep, they thought the burn was from the liquor until they started dropping like flies. They were supposed to run and meet us at the bus. I had been waiting with Mary by the river. Yet when Petra turned up, she was covered in blood and by herself.” Sondra closes her eyes and rubs her temples before continuing.

“She was wailing, and we couldn’t understand her. She was frantic, so I called Marco, and he sent me home. Marco then went out there with Mary. They found the entire pack dead, and the women had killed them. Mary hid them out at the commune, and that’s where they stayed. When I went home that night, Floyd accused me of trying to run from him. He stopped me from seeing Mary. He had his men wait with me at the bakery. They never let me out of their sight unless I was with him.”
