There is a slow dull ache in my head like it’s being held together by an elastic that is wrapped around it too tight.

“Hush, baby | am here now | saved you,” a voice tells me.

A lot of memories are flooding back to me. When | walked hafter my farewell party at the White Oak Pack. |

with something. Most likely silver of wolfsbane. Now that the fog in my head is clearing up a little bit, | cto

Snippets of my journey here, wherever that is. Coming back in contorted twisted pieces of information. And then

there is the only thing | can clearly remember. My wonderful mate Griffin, he is the only one | want to save me.

But it was him he wouldn't be callingbaby. He never did, it’s always just my nor darling.

must have been hours, meaning by now Griffin and my family must know and they must be worried sick.

The next thing | know | am waking up to the smell of something savory. My stomach violently cramps up.

Somehow | fell asleep again, now waking up because someone broughtfood. In the current state | am in |

would eat everything it is. Maybe the kidnapper wants to poison me, or maybe they are just slippingsome

drugs again to keepdrowsy. But | don’t have a lot of options. | either eat and risk getting poisoned. Or | will

just lay here in bed sleeping until | am so underfed that I die

Finally, | manage to open my eyes, surprised to sense | must be the only one in the room. My hands and feet are

not tied to anything so | slowly sit up. My kidnapper or kidnappers placedin a bedroom. It had at nice enough

bed, two nightstands, and a big dresser. It would almost look homely, but there were no windows. The room was

unnaturally dark. With my wolf eyesight, it is easy enough to make everything out.

| just wonder why the room is as dark as it is now. Wanting to find more information, needing to know more

about my whereabouts. | stretch my arms to feel the wall behind my bed.

When | do my heart drops with the hopelessness of the situation. The wall is made out of wet clay. The roots of

trees keep it all together. Whoever did this to me, built an underground hiding space. Telling me

it was planned at least days in advance. Slowly my memories are coming back, | know that | know who

kidnapped me. But for sreason, | just couldn't access that information.

Maybe if | have eaten something | will feel better, and if | do | can finally start figuring sthings out. With that

| manage to get out of bed, the smell | now recognize as pizza is coming from behind a closed door. | hate not

knowing anything, | want to know whether there is pizza foror not. What is behind the door and who | will

face when | open it? Soon | will find out though because whatever happens, | need to eat. something.

With trembling hands, | open the door, which luckily isn’t locked. It leads to a small kitchen with a dining area.

Like the bedroom, it was empty apart from the pizza box in the middle of the dining table. My stomach still

grumbling | make my way to the pizza. Only to see there is a sticky note attached to the pizza box.

“I had to tend to spack business, enjoy dinner, my love. It's your favorite.” | turn the note around but there

is no non it.

Still, it is tellingmore about the situation if whoever this is has pack business to deal with it must be a

werewolf. A higher ranking one at that. And suddenly it all comes to me. The only one it can be is David, he

never calledbaby or my love. But it is what he called Hannah, especially if | could overhear it when they

started to date. Waiting to see if they could do better.

Back then I hated that, | hated being faced with their fake displays of love. Now that David wantedback |

wish he would have just stuck with Hanah.

We were all waiting to see what he was going to do after his parents died. Everybody suspected it was

something bad, but we all thought it would be a war. After all the peace treaty we made with Alpha Phillip was

voided when he died. David had enough reason to go to war with the White Oak and Silver Moon packs.

When | opened the pizza box | saw it was a pepperoni pizza, confirming it was indeed David who kidnapped me.

My favorite topping was sausage and onions. He however hated that and he hated half and half. | liked pepperoni

pizza enough to just deal with it. David never noticed it because as much as | thought we knew each other

through and through we never did.

I mean the man | used to love, the man used to hope was my mat

had kidnapped me. Because | didn’t want to take him back after he rejected me. | felt weird, | know | should be

more scared, or sad. Maybe | will be later but for now, | just feel weird.

It's probably still sside effects of the poison they injectedwith, combined with the hunger. There are just

too many gaps, too many unanswered gaps and | just want to get sanswers. Slowly | sit down to eat my

pizza, even with the first bites my stomach keeps cramping up. Probably because | haven't eaten in hours and

now am scoffing down this fatty pizza.

It tasted just like the pizzas David and | had during our movie nights. Closing the box again to take a good look at

it. | noticed that David had gotten this pizza from the Cheese in the Sky pizza shop. The pizza parlor was on pack

ground, | have no idea how long it's been here. But when | took the first bite it was still warm. Meaning we had to

be close to the Blood Moon pack. | hated being back here and | had hoped | would never have to again. Still, now

| knew my surroundings.

Slowly I am beginning to feel a little bit better, the pizza must be helping. But just as | am about to get up and

try and explore a little bit. The door to the kitchen creaks and when | look | am face to face with the

man | never thought to see ever again. | hoped | would never have to seen. David Birch Alpha of the Bloodmoon

pack and my worst enemy.
