Healing His Broken Luna.... Chapter 64
Chapter 20 - Trap
"YES! She made the moussaka tonight!" Niko said as the kitchen staff placed the platters of food on the table.
"You will never move out of the pack house so long as Elaina is here cooking for you." Odessa teased Niko.
Not only had Elaina made the moussaka for dinner, but there was also keleftiko, which is a traditional lamb dish, stuffed bell peppers, rice, vegetables and a lovely Greek salad topped with feta.
I had spent the day napping and was hoping to get out and explore the beautiful pack lands here, but Dimitri insisted that I stay inside. He was concerned about the rogues that had been near the pack territory. We're not sure if their presence was coincidental or if they were looking to find me.
"You know, you'll have to make an appearance or two at the Dionysus festival, so it looks like business as usual. If you're not seen, it's going to look like you're hiding Raven and staying close to her." Spiro told Dimitri.
"I'm not leaving her alone if that's what you're suggesting." Dimitri looked up as he forked lamb onto his plate.
"It's only for a few hours, we get in, get noticed, look like we're out enjoying the festivities and get back." Alec said.
"Could we swing by the dorm so I could pick up a few things?" I asked.
"You're not going anywhere; Eros has men watching your dorm. Alexander, one of my warriors, has already collected most of your belongings that could be salvaged. He should be here anytime now." Dimitri told me.
"What do you mean salvaged?"
"Someone had already been in your room and trashed it." Niko said while shoving a fork full of moussaka into his mouth.
"Leo and Rocky are on the same floor, you didn't happen to see them or any sign of them, did you?" I turned to Niko.
"I don't know, Alexander went in. He used the roof top door to sneak in and out." Niko continued to shovel food into his mouth.
"The Adonis tends to attract most wolves in the city for a good time, it should be pretty busy tonight. Perhaps we should start there? I could call Evelyn to help us." Alec asked.
"A night of debauchery at The Adonis." Niko chuckled.
Who the hell was this Evelyn I wondered? Spiro was seated next to his mate who gave him a stiff side glance at the mention of the Adonis. "I should probably stay here and make sure everyone is safe." He said.
I finished eating my moussaka and stuffed pepper. It was only my second night here and the thought of Dimitri going back to Athens and leaving me here alone bothered me. What was this night of debauchery Niko mentioned? Were they planning on going out to party? With women?
"Alexander has just returned and placed your things in our room." Dimitri told me.
Our room? Everything felt like it was moving so fast. Things seemed so surreal; my life had changed so much in the last week. I was destined by the Moon Goddess to be the Luna of this pack. Olympus Blood Moon was the largest pack across Europe with almost fifteen hundred members.
We made our way back to the room and I was eager to take a bath and get into some of my own clothes. "Alexander said your laptop was smashed, he dumped out your dresser drawers in the suitcase and grabbed the things from your closet."
"Are you really going out tonight?" My voice was just above a whisper.
"Yes, I need to. They will be watching for me. Promise you will not leave this house."
I wanted to see what they had done to my dorm room. I needed to make sure Rocky and Leo were safe, and I was going to be stuck here tonight, alone. What if Dimitri didn't come back tonight and he went to see some mistress to satisfy his needs? Maybe this Evelyn woman?
I sat on the bed and Dimitri went to shower and get dressed. I tried to call both Leo and Rocky and received no answer. I had a text message from Clair telling me that she and Knox would be arriving in Athens in two days. I laid back wondering how I would break the news to my parents.
"You're a grown woman now. Stop worrying and enjoy what's in front of us." Rae told me.
Dimitri stepped out of the bathroom, his short dark hair was styled, and his well groomed short facial looked so sexy on him. He walked past me with nothing but a towel wrapped low around his waist. I could see how shredded his body was and my eyes trailed down his abs. My face flushed remembering the sight of him naked.
"And what a sight that was!" Rae said to me.
He stepped into a large closet and started getting dressed. Moments later he emerged wearing dark blue jeans with a black shirt that seemed to complement his chest. He looked hot and now he was going out to the festival to be seen, flirted with, lusted after. My jealousy was peaking, and I couldn't understand what was happening to me.
"I want to go with you." I said a bit forcefully.
"It's too dangerous. We'll be stepping into a pit full of vipers. I can't do what I need to and worry about you. I need to be seen without you, give the illusion that I don't really know or care where you're at." He said and placed a kiss on my head.
"How long will you be gone?"
"I should be back before you wake up."
"I could go and help, I'm not some weak wolf who needs to hide. I'm a gifted Alpha you know." I scoffed.
"If you're thinking about going anywhere, I will tie you to the bed! You need to promise me you will stay here." His voice was rough.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Oh, I would! And I'd enjoy punishing you too. Don't make me spank you little girl." He looked at me with a smoldering look that told me he would definitely enjoy making me squirm and submit.
"Fine, go. I'll be here waiting." I huffed and sat back down on the bed with my arms crossed over my chest practically pouting.
"That's a good girl. Spiro will be downstairs if you need anything." He kissed me quickly before he left the room.
As an Alpha, he should know that it's not in the nature of an Alpha to sit down and do nothing. He had called me a little girl and suddenly I felt small. What kind of festivities was he going out to enjoy tonight?
My phone chimed and I looked down to find a text from Rocky that said "Where are you? We've been looking for you."
A wave of relief washed over me, and I picked up the phone to call Rocky. No answer. I texted back, "Is everything okay?"
"Everything is fine. Can you meet us at Richy's Temple of Sweets? I'll explain everything."
"What time?" I texted back.
"10:00pm" The phone chimed.
I grabbed my purse and ran downstairs to the kitchen looking for Spiro but found Elaina. "Has Dimitri left yet?"
"I'm not sure, he might still be in the garage downstairs." She said.
"Thank you." I called and ran towards the stairs leading down to the garage. They were already gone. I had less than two hours to get to the ice cream shop. I couldn't mind link Dimitri yet because we haven't mated, and I didn't have his cell phone number to call him.
I looked around the garage, there was several cars and motorcycles to pick from. When I was fourteen, Knox and Peter had received motorcycles for their sixteenth birthday, they taught me how to ride. I decided a motorcycle would be best because the streets would still be a mess with the festival going on. I flung my purse over my neck and shoulder. It had my phone, forty euros and my lighter in it. I slipped on a full face helmet and rolled my hair in a knot to tuck it up inside of the helmet.
We had driven north to get here, so I knew that Athens was south. I paid attention to the roads and landmarks so that I could find my way back. An hour later, I could see the lights of Athens come in to view from a distance. Anxiety crept up inside of me, this city was crawling with henchman looking for me.
As I entered the city, I wondered what Dimitri was doing and what kind of festivities he was enjoying. I tried to focus on the task at hand, which was to go and meet with Rocky and get back before Dimitri noticed I was gone. The university came into sight and I pulled up near Richy's Temple of Sweets. Strange, the shop appeared to be closed. It was usually open until eleven on the weekends.
"Maybe he closed early because of the festival." Rae said.
I reached into my purse to see if Rocky had texted me, nothing. My fingers were ready to dial Rocky when the phone rang. I pulled the face shield of the helmet up and answered on speaker phone.
"Rocky?" I asked.
"Tisk, tisk, tisk. Is that how you greet an old friend?" Eros' voice sent a cold chill down my spine.
"Where's Rocky?" I demanded and the phone disconnected.
"GO, GO, GO!" Rae yelled at me.
I heard the sound of heavy footsteps running in my direction and dropped the phone back in my purse. I punched the motorcycle and started zipping and darting, not really sure where I was going. I could hear other motorcycles speeding up behind me.
The palm trees at the National Garden came into view and I jumped the sidewalk and cut through the park. National Garden is a large and lush park in the heart of Athens. I wasn't sure where to go and continued to drive like a mad woman nearly knocking people over. I jumped the sidewalk and darted down the walkway through the park. I looked over my shoulder and didn't see anyone following me.
This was a set up. Rocky was nowhere and they had her phone. They probably had Rocky too. It was all my fault and I needed to find Dimitri.
