Chasing My Rejected Luna
Chapter 129

EZRA'S

P.O.V

Tegan never disconnected the call. All I heard when the line connected was 'How may I help you?' from a feminine voice before the line went static and then muffled. But not once did it disconnect. Did she accidentally call? Or did she want me listening in? I wasn't sure and I wasn't going to take a chance, so I decided to mute myself and remain on the phone to listen.

I was at home working in the office while Elias was happily playing on the floor in his play-mat entertaining himself with his toys. I put the phone on speaker and continued to work while trying to listen in on what was being said. I couldn't hear much because of how muffled the background sounds were. However, what little I was able to hear sounded like Tegan questioning someone. It seemed as if she were suspicious of something, but I couldn't hear enough of the conversation to really know what she was suspicious about or why. All of a sudden, what felt like panic coursed through my body. I immediately knew it was Tegan's feelings. However, all that could be heard were still the muffled sounds of talking. The deepness of the voice that I could hear sounded like another man's voice. What happened that sent her into a panic? Suddenly, clear as day, I heard Tegan's voice.

-Ezra, Ezra, can you hear me? I can't leave this house. He is holding me hostage. My brothers can't get back in.-

With her words, panic now coursed through my body.

-Oh, you have someone on the phone. Not that it will make a difference or help you any.- The deep voice said, it was clear and unmuffled.

Suddenly, what sounded like a struggle occurred before the line disconnected, ending our call.

"TEGAN!" I screamed out loud. Startling, Elias, which made him erupt in a fit of tears.

My office door swiftly opened, revealing none other than Lucy herself. Right behind her, my Beta Uriah entered.

"What's going on!?" He hollered the question as Lucy examined me.

"It was a trap wasn't it?" Lucy asked, making me look over at her.

"What?" I asked, unsure how she came to that conclusion.

"It all just fell into her lap. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out why her father just so happened to know she was calling about her mother. Let alone a brother that none of them even knew about. She never gave Drake a hint. So why would he assume after all these years she'd be randomly calling about Marci and her unknown brother? It all sounded too good to be true." "Why wouldn't you bring this to our attention?"

"Tegan was so involved in wanting answers, she would never have listened. So I took matters into my own hands while she looked into something I knew she wouldn't let go of."

"What do you mean by taking matters into your own hands?" Uriah asked the question that was at the tip of my tongue.

"Follow me, I'll show you," She said as she quickly exited the room.

I picked up Elias and followed her out. After dropping him off with my Mother, Lucy took us down a dark hallway. A part of the Packhouse that was off limits to people, mostly because it was under renovations.

We walked for some time before she stopped in front of the big double doors. She swished her hand, air coming from out of nowhere, pushing the double doors open. Revealing three people tied to chairs in chains.

I rushed to them quickly. As I grabbed the chains they immediately burned my skin.

"Yeah that wasn't smart, they're silver chains coated in wolfsbane." She said, taking a seat on a chair that sat across from them.

"What are you doing, Lucy? You can't just torture guests,"

"Sure I can. Especially after what I was able to get from them," She said with a smile. "You'll be happy they're chained and in pain once you hear what I've heard. Trust me."

"Trust you? How can I trust you when you've clearly lost your damn mind! You took Tegan's Father, Step Mother, and Step Sister as hostages, torturing them." "True. But for good reason."

"Do explain." I said in an exhausted voice.

"Should I tell him, or would you like to?" She asked, looking at the three of them, whose mouths were bonded.

"Do you seriously have them gagged with fucking sex toys?" I asked in disbelief.

"I didn't have anything else." She replied with a shrug as she removed a ball-gag from Allie's mouth. "Go on sweetheart, tell him what you told me."

"BITE ME!" She screamed in retaliation.

"I thought we already covered that I am a biter?" Lucy responded with a giggle.

"Lucy, I don't have time for this. My mate is stuck somewhere and I need to get to her."

"Yeah I know, which is why you need to hear what they have to say," She responded as she removed Jessie's ball-gag. "Are you more willing to talk? Try to remember I don't mind hurting either of you if you choose to remain silent." Jessie's lip quivered before words finally left her mouth.

"He approached us first. We didn't know that Marci was even alive!" She nearly screamed.

"What are you talking about?" I asked cautiously.

"The handsome man. He came to us offering money if we got Tegan to replace him. He gave us a tote of papers. He said she'd know how to replace him, all we had to do was tell the truth. I was confused at first until fear crossed Drake's face. He insisted that Darion or Fredrick couldn't know. He said he'd pay us well."

"You fucking gave my mate to a damn stranger for money, again! I gave y'all plenty of fucking money for her contract, you greedy mother-fuckers!" I raged as my body involuntarily moved forward in anger.

"Told you that you'd be glad they're tied up and in pain." Lucy's voice said.

"WHERE IS MY MATE!?" I asked in a full-blown rage.

"He swore she wouldn't be hurt. They're siblings after all," Jessie pleaded.

"Not that we care either way," Allie's smart mouth said for the last time.

My blinded rage took over as I approached her.

"THAT IS THE LAST TIME YOU DISRESPECT YOUR QUEEN!" I screamed as I took her head between my hands, snapping her neck on the spot. Her neck bobbed to the side when I let go, making Jessie scream out in horror.

"MY BABY!" She hollered as Drake's eyes bulged from his sockets with fear.

"TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW OR YOUR NEXT. I HAVE NO USE FOR USELESS F*****G MUTTS!" I screamed out.

"Damn Ez, I didn't know you had it in you," Lucy said as she crossed one leg over the other, sitting there amused.

"I...I don't know." She said with a shaky breath.

"If you don't know, then I have no use for you," I said before snapping her neck also.

"Holy shit Ez, two of the three? I was so looking forward to those kills." Lucy said as she stood up. "Good thing one is left." Her voice said as she glided her finger across Drake's face, leaving a cut in its wake. Tears freely flowed down his face at the realization that he was not going to make it out alive.

"He lives." I said with finality, relief flooded his face. "At least for now, once I'm done, you can do whatever you want with this useless waste of space," I said with anger in my tone.

"Same question, where is my f*****g mate?" I asked in a deep, authoritative voice. His entire demeanor immediately changed to fear again.
