You wouldn't like it if my husband sees you!

Diana froze when she heard Gerard's words. Was he joking or what was this? "Ha! Are you kidding me? You are an original and a supreme werewolf. You can't have mates. You were given the right to choose so how can you have a mate."

Diana was sure that her brother couldn't have a mate because he was not subjected to it, unlike other werewolves that were turned. Also, Ayla is a human. How can they have a human Luna?

But now that she is looking at Gerard's face, he doesn't seem to be joking at all. What! What has she done? She widened her eyes to the realization that she had messed up big time.

"Excuse me." she went to a side and sent a text to the people she sent to abduct Ayla.

'The deal is off. I'll pay you for the inconvenience.' she sent the text then went back to sit with Gerard feeling a little bit relieved.

"Boyfriend?" Gerard asked and Diana was lost for a second.

"What? No! I don't have one." they laughed it off but Gerard got a call soon after that.

"Oh, it's Lucy." he sighed serving the name and couldn't understand why she was calling at this time of the night. 'Maybe Ayla is awake and needs something, he thought.

Diana was horrified, her hands were sweating as she worried that the people she sent had already gone and didn't see her message. This is going to be terrible.

On the other end was Lucy. She was speaking incoherently and Gerard couldn't really hear what she was saying.

"Calm down Lucy, what's wrong." because of Diana's sharp hearing, she could hear all they were saying.

"Humans, they attacked with wolfsbane. Everyone is down and Ayla is gone." Lucy sounded like she was crying and in distress.

"Humans? Wolfsbane?" Diana whispered to herself. She had sent one of their own and not humans so where did this come from?

Immediately Gerard heard that they had taken Ayla, his expression darkened and he rushed away without even looking at Diana for a second.

"Wai..." she wanted to go with Gerard but he was already gone and her phone began to ring as well.

She stared at the screen and it was the number of one of the men she sent. In her rage, she yelled as she answered the call. "What is wrong with you? Why did you send humans? And didn't you get my message? I told you not to continue with the plan anymore."

But after yelling for so long, the other party said something that got her more worried. "Our car broke down and we didn't have a signal in that location. I called to tell you that we might be going a little later than planned."

When she heard this, she was terrified. "So you mean you didn't go to the house?"

"No... We are just approaching the house right now." the man spoke and Diana almost broke down.

"No! Don't go to the house anymore. There's no need for that any..." she was still talking when she couldn't hear what they were saying. The signals were breaking.

"Can you hear me? Can... Oh shut." she ran off to the house but she knew she would be too late because Gerard would already be there.

She ran into the house only to find Lucy crying so much. "Maam. They..."

"Where is my brother?" Diana asked worried that he might have found something out.

"He didn't come back home. I guess he went to look for her." Lucy spoke in between sobs.

Lucy leaned in and asked. "What's happening?"

Diana shook her head and because she couldn't say anything out, she showed Lucy the message she had sent a while ago asking the men not to come anymore.

Lucy looked at her confused. So this is actually a real attack? She was more worried now. She didn't agree with Diana in the first and now, everything is worse.

I walked for a long time and because it was dark, I didn't know exactly where I was going and I had learned never to stop a car for help again.

I walked for a while as the cold air brushed through my body harder and harder.

Suddenly, I came to a halt when I saw a man standing in a distance. He was just standing and moving so I thought this was another threat.

I decided to run in the opposite direction to escape this man because right now, the best I could do was run.

As I ran, someone held onto my hand and I knew that this was the man I had seen a moment ago. I turned abruptly and collided my head with his then targetted his sensitive area but he saw it coming and moved away swiftly.

I struggled to pull my hand away from his clutch but unlike the other men I've met, this man was extremely strong.

"Let... me... go! You wouldn't like it if my husband sees you." I struggled and because it was very dark and the moon was not shining at this area, I didn't see his face at all.

Instead of letting my hand go, he hugged me. "Ah! Now you've asked for..."

Oh, wait, that scent. Gerard? I furrowed my brow and then realized that he was the one who had this type of touch and this hug, his body, this was Gerard.

"What was that you said before? Your husband huh!" his voice was cold but I knew for sure that this was Gerard.

"What? That's something I learnt back at Salem." I tried to cover up knowing full well that there was no such thing in Salem.

Gerard sighed and I could hear something strange in his voice. "Are you hurt?" his voice was a little warm and I could sense that he was concerned.

I pouted "Yes. I am." of course I was hurt, I've been walking for a while now and my feet hurt badly.

"Where are they? How did you get out?" Gerard sounded like he wanted to start a fight but I shrugged.

"We got into an accident and I jumped out of the car... Why are we even talking about them? My feet hurt, I have been walking for quite a while now..." I pouted but in the next instant, my eyes widened when I was lifted to the air.

"What... What are you,..." I looked at him sceptically as he carried me in princess style.

"My wife's feet are hurting. There's no way I'll let her walk by herself."
