Luna On The Run – I Stole The Alpha’s Sons Chapter 24
Chapter 24 Moving out to the kitchen, Jake is about to say something when we hear the beeping of the delivery truck.
He curses and comes over to me.
"You won't speak to Sondra or Lloyd while I am gone, and you will not go near them,” he says, using his vampire charmson me before rushing to greet the truck.
"What are we going to do Elena, I can't take much more of this,” Lexa whines at me as Ireach for the spatula only to notice he forgot to take the basement keys, yet the key to her cage was around his neck.
Snatching them up, I glance toward the rear doors.
“Elena, don't." “I need to know if she is alive," I tell my wolf.
Grabbing some of the cooked meat patties and some food from the bairemare.
I also grabbed some water bottles before checking to make sure Jake was still out the back.
Snatching up a paper bag, I drop as much food in as I can and rushing to the basement door.
“Elena, dear?" Sondra calls and I turn, yet I couldn't move toward her or speak.
"Can you bring some more napkins out when you come back?” I nod to her since I couldn’t talk andshe goes back to fussing over her husband while I fiddle with the lock and keys.
My heart raced the entire time, every second feeling like an hour.
Sweat beading on the back of my neck and I exhaled when the lock clicked and the dooropened.
Rushing inside, I knew I didn't have long before he came back in, but I needed to ensure she was alive.
Running down the steps, I miss some in my haste and have to catch myself on the railing.
Once down the bottom, I make my way to the back of the basement when I hear her.
"Elena?" she sobs, crawling forward and gripping the bars, and I run to her.
I clutch her fingers.
"I'm here, I'm right here." "Where is he?" she says looking around frantically and I see the bite marks on her neck.
She was littered in them, and covered in bruises, her cheeks hollow and skin dull.
"Upstairs, I can't be caught down here, but I bought you food.” “The key, it is around his neck,”she sobs and I nod, already knowing that. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“I'll find a way to get you out, quick take this,” I tell her, passing the bottled water through the bars before trying to push the bag offood.
Alisha snatches the bag absolutely starving and bites into the meat patty that I knew was sizzling hot.
Tears streamed down my face seeing her in such a state, and I wanted to get her out.
"No, Elena, we haven't got time," Lexa warns and I stand.
"I'll come back soon," I tell her, and I was about to turn around when a hand grips the back of my neck and Ifreeze.
“Pet!” Jake sneers in my ear.
My hands shake as I clutch the empty paper bag.
Alisha whimpers, moving to the back of her cage with her food.
"I just wanted to see her?" I whimper as his fingers dig in.
“Did I say you could?” I slíake my head.
"Please, she is pregnant,” Alisha sobs, clutching the bars when Jake steps closer.
He rubs his other hand down my belly.
“Yes, she is.
But she disobeyed me,” he growls at her.
“Jake, she is my best friend.
She was yours once too,” I whisper.
"Go back to the apartment and wait for me in the room,” he snarls the order, andlet's go.
My feet automatically move despite not wanting to leave her Sitting on the bed in the room I felt nothing butpanic.
I struggled to breathe as I waited for him, my entire body shaking with fear.
I knew what his punishments entailed and I avoided them at all costs.
They were degrading and humiliating.
Yet no matter how much I wanted to leave the room, I couldn’t go against his order, not without being able to shiftand if I shifted, I would kill my sons.
Hearing the door open, I flinched, listening to his footsteps on the floor get closer.
My heart rate picked up and I was sure it was going to jump out of mychest as I turned to face the door.
Jake steps in, and his scent was menacing “Alisha?" I blurt in panic.
"I would worry less about her and more about the situation you have found yourself in.
You disobeyed me," he snaps at me, his fangs protruding and his face twists in anger as he starts removing his belt.
My eyes widen and I jump up from where I am sitting, backing away from him as he snaps his belt loudly.
"Jake?" I plead as he stalks toward me before letting the belt hang from his hand.
The next minute, he hits me with it.
Lightning sliced through my side and arm as he whipped me and I gasped before dropping to the floor to cover my stomach, each lashing hurting more than the lastas he whipped my back, legs and arms while I lay on my side trying to protect my babies.
