To show my appreciation - an extra long chapter 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Miles POV

I decided to work some things out so I can take Seneca out of the hunters compound today for a day of shopping.

Obviously we have to be extremely careful so I chose a really small town close to the compound that is run by mainly hunters family members. So it's also heavily watched and guarded.

But luckily Seneca won't realize that. I saw the true grief come out in her yesterday and it was difficult to watch her have to go through that.

I'm starting to see the reality that Seneca is that werewolves mate. And that she's suffering from being away from him. I've seen the mate bond broken years ago when my family would cage up female werewolves to weaken their mate for fighting.

It was an awful thing to see honestly but it had to be done to weaken the males. Like I said before I only ever killed 'bad' werewolves. So after the male werewolf was taken care of we would drop their girl off somewhere in the woods and let her go. But that wasn't always the case with other hunters.

As much as I don't want to see Seneca go through that. I know that she's strong and can make it through. I just need her to keep her thinking that she's just upset being cooped up and hidden.

I can't ever let her go back to that werewolf.

If she ever does, not only will I be killed but it will put May in danger as well. She can't be taken around those animals ! Especially because hunters blood runs through her veins.

Everything will be fine Once the bond is broken between them. Seneca will be back to her normal self.

And lucky for me I just got news today of how to make that happen. According to someone who has been on the inside of the werewolf community, if Seneca and the alpha have been together already then that means that even though she's human her body may go into heat soon.

Which basically means she'll be extremely horny.

To the point that it's almost painful not to have someone help you out.

Unfortunately for Alpha Ace, Seneca will be locked in the compound with me as the only person to help her.

When Seneca and I make love, the Alpha will feel the pain and heartbreak and then he'll be so upset that he'll break their bond.

At least that's the guidance I've been given so far.

And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to try the theory out.

Ive been growing a little impatient waiting for his to happen so while we're out shopping I plan to meet up with someone who is going to give me a night dress for Seneca.

The guy I've got on the inside keeps werewolf scents readily available in case we need to track anyone in particular and lucky for me he has something with Aces scent on it.

He's going to infuse it into a camisole, so when I give it to Seneca to wear tonight it may just start up her heat a little early.

Seneca POV

Well I'm getting ready for my trip with Miles to go out shopping today and I've managed to slip the phone I found earlier inside my bra for safe keeping.

I wanted to use the phone to Call the number I saw right away, but I chickened out.

So many things started to swirl through my head.

Who could this phone be from?

Who would be on the other end of the phone call? Would it be Ace?

If it is Ace do I want to talk to him?

Does he really want to hurt us ?

Was this some sort of twisted test from Miles to see if I could still be trusted going out today ?

I decided it'd be best to wait and use the phone when I was really ready to find out the truth. And right now all I wanted to do was just be outside of this compound. And I couldn't risk not being allowed out if I got caught with this phone.

Miles finally showed up to my room to take me out for the day. He knocked on the door, which was strange as he usually just waltzed right in.

I answered the door and Miles was standing there with flowers and a box.

"What's all this miles?" I said trying to hide the small smile spreading across my face.

"Well Seneca, I want to try to start over. To win you back and to earn your trust again. So I decided to make this day out -kinda like a redo first date."

Miles then handed me my flowers and I lay them down on my dresser.

He then opened the long thin box and took out a gold necklace. The pendant was a small crescent moon.

He took the necklace and walked behind me. "May I ?" He said as he slid my hair to one side.

I nodded my head and he reached around both sides of my neck to clasp the necklace.

As his hands guided the gold chain his fingers caressed the sides of my neck igniting tingles down my back.

After he clasped the chain I reached up and touched the pendant.

"When we were younger you used to sit out on the porch at night and look at the moon. .....And the way that moonlight lit up your face- well it's something I'll always remember." Miles said as he smiled longingly at me.

I wasn't sure how to respond to Miles. He's right I loved to sit out and stare at the moon. But when I did that I would think about all the places that the moon was shining down on and how I yearned to see those places. To explore. To see the world and what adventures awaited outside of our tiny town.

Like there was something out there in the world that I needed to find. Like.......... Ace.

My heart panged at the thought. I need to know if what we had was real or not. Everything Miles has told me made sense honestly. But the feelings I felt to him felt so real.

In that moment I knew I had to call that number and find out for sure. I'll have to find a way to sneak away from miles while we're out to make the call.

He may have removed the cameras from my room but I have no doubt he still has it bugged.

I was so lost in thought that I almost didn't notice Miles clear his throat to get my attention.

"Well, we better get going we can't stay out after dark. The towns around here are old school and close down early."

"Where is 'around here' if you don't mind me asking miles?"

"Haha, nice try Seneca. For your and May's safety I can't give you that info just yet. But soon I promise."

Wow way to ruin the mood. Usually I would have just said well then I'm staying here. But I needed this especially if I was going to get to this phone call.

———————————————————————————

Within a few hours I had managed to find myself alone in the dressing room of one of the small shops.

There honestly wasn't much selection at any of these places but I pretended to be interested in a few things in hopes of being alone.

This was the first shop that we had been in that had music playing and I hoped that it would muffle the sounds of me on the phone.

I reached in my bra and pulled out the phone and number. And took a deep breath, silently praying that this would give me the real truth and not stupidly putting us stupidly into danger.

I dialed the number and held my breath as I heard the phone begin ringing.

"You ok in there Seneca ?" Miles yelled over the music.

"Oh uh yeah just give me a few minutes trying to find something I like."

"Ok, just checking sweetheart."

I rolled my eyes as I turned towards the back wall trying to conceal my voice.

Gosh how many times is this phone going to ring through. And suddenly I heard it. His voice.

——————————————————————————-

Ace POV

The phone was ringing.

Sh*t I needed to get into human form and fast. I stopped in the middle of transition which is a painful process but the fastest thing I could do.

I fell to the floor in pain as I dragged myself towards my phone. Please just stay on the line a little longer.

I finally reached the phone.

"Hello?" I managed my voice cracking

"Ace ?" Her voice. God how I had waited to hear it again.

"My sweet Seneca, I miss you so much are you safe ? Where are you? Please tell me baby and I'll come and get you."

"I just don't know what to believe anymore, Ace. I'm so confused. How can I be sure you're not going to hurt us."

My heart panged knowing that she had been brainwashed into not trusting me.

"Seneca, please just look inside yourself and listen to your heart. I know it will lead you to the truth."

"Yeah it will definitely lead her to the truth, my friend. The truth that you plan to kill me and my family. Don't worry alpha I already filled her in on your little plan."

"Miles." I growled out "I swear when I get to you I'm going to rip you apart for lying and disrespecting my mate."

"Haha, well you won't be finding us anytime soon. And I'm sure you'll really enjoy what I have planned with Seneca tonight. I promise you won't be hearing from her again."

And with that the line went silent.
