From Rougue To Luna novel Chapter 66

"Yes. I assume you'll be making the initial contact with Beta Cage to confirm what we've said is true. My team and I will hold back inside the tree line outside of his guards' patrol until you've confirmed that Lili and the hostages are there. I thought that would be our one shot at doing this without bloodshed." Dominic nodded, his fingers stroking his beard as he listened. I took a breath and straightened, leaning forward as I spoke firmer to gain his full attention. "If he denies this, or tries to fight for them, I will not hold back until I've retrieved what I came for."

"Of course. Let's not waste any more time then." He said quickly, standing slowly and stepping around his desk and walking toward the door. I stood as he was turning over his shoulder to check for me behind him.

Finally. I can sense her. She's so close.

My thoughts began to race as her presence was already beginning to draw me in, calling for me, for my wolf. I followed Dominic out of the house as the guards along with Asher and Weston fell in behind us. Our two teams split off and we fell in step behind them, slowly distancing ourselves so we wouldn't be detected as the sun slowly began to set behind the trees. As we approached the path leading to the cabin, my steps caught and my knees buckled beneath me as I felt the air inside of my throat catch. My side ached and burned and I struggled to pull an easy breath in as my vision spotted.

I linked Weston who had been placed inside of Dominic's team in case we needed to speak quickly from a distance. "Weston, he's hurting her. She's not going to make it if we don't hurry."

I saw him rush to Dominic's side and whisper in his ear before falling back in line with our pack. We stopped suddenly, hiding ourselves within the brush so that we could safely observe Dominic as he approached the house.

He took two large heavy steps up to the front door, knocking loudly and I heard hurried steps after a moment stomping toward the door that were coming from inside, stopping before opening the door. I strained my hearing to try and catch what I could of the conversation.

"Cage, I need to speak to you right now. It's urgent." Dominic stated plainly, his voice tight as he spoke through gritted teeth from the porch.

I heard a muffled exhale before Cage answered hurriedly from inside. "Alpha, now is not a good time. I'm..."

"If you don't open this fucking door Cage, I will do it myself." Dominic's voice boomed, exuding his Alpha tone as he stepped toward the door.

Lili's POV

My heart began to pound in my chest as the adrenaline started working its way out of my system. Who was this man? He had to be an Alpha. You could tell the way Cage's body responded to his commands, the way my body trembled as he entered. He had to be the pack's Alpha. The man who could possibly be someone to me. The man Rhett thought could be my father.

My thoughts were pulled when I felt Huntleigh's body shake hard against me and I rolled back slightly, letting my head slowly fall to the side so that I could see her.

"It's ok baby. We're going to be ok." My voice squeaked out hoarsely, but I was able to push the words out just enough to be a broken whisper.

The truth was, I didn't know if we would be, but I had to keep her calm. My mother had hidden us away, kept me in a life of isolation to keep me from this man. I wasn't sure how he would react to the news that he'd had a child with my mother this whole time and didn't know it. She'd obviously hidden us away for a reason. He may very well kill me himself. My heart began to race as I looked up at the innocent angelic face staring back at me. She was afraid, and I honestly didn't know if we would make it out of this alive.
