Luna On The Run – I Stole The Alpha’s Sons Chapter 53


    A monthter.


    “Elena dear, your mother is on the phone,” Sondra sings out from the front of the bakery. I set the boys


    down in the crib they shared when I worked at the bakery for Sondra. I came in three days a week with


    her to help her with orders. With Axton’s money we managed to get the ranch up and functioning, built


    extra cabins on the property for the Rogue women, as the main house only had six bedrooms.


    Everyone pitched in around the ranch.


    And for the past month our lives have been pretty care free, yet I loved the days I worked in town


    because it was the only time I really got to speak to my mother. There wasn’t much cell service out on


    the ranch, and even if there was, I didn’t want to run the risk of Axton catching odd calls from the


    middle of nowhere to my mother’s phone.


    Hearing the bell above the door of the bakery, Sondra sets the phone down on one of the dessert


    disy cases. Picking it up, I can’t help the smile that slips onto my face, knowing I am about to hear


    my mother’s voice.


    “Hey, Ma.” | answer, taking the phone, and walking back out to the small office where the boys are


    sleeping. She falls silent, and I peer at the small LCD on the phone screen, not recognizing the number


    she is calling from.


    “Alpha Axton has amped up his search for you and the boys, all packs were forced to open their


    borders to let his men pass through.” my mother tells me and I sigh.


    “That doesn’t surprise me,” I tell her. “I’m assuming that is the reason you are using another phone.”


    “Yes, I think he bugged my other one. I am not sure how long I will keep this number for, but I think it is


    best if I call you only,” I nod my head reaching for the tea towel, my jeans were covered in flour and so


    were my arms.


    “That’s not all, though,” my mother tells me.


    “We have had numerous vampire attacks on the city, three people have been killed, I wanted to give


    you guys a heads-up. I’m not sure where you are staying, but keep an eye out. Maybe get the women


    to start doing patrols,” my mother suggests. Yet that was something we were already doing. Have since


    we moved out to the ranch.


    “We’ll manage,” I assure her, and she sighs heavily. “How is dad and Luke?” | ask, chewing my lip,


    wanting to move away from the conversation about the vamp’s situation. I could tell she was already on


    edge and I didn’t want her worrying about us. We were more than equipped to handle a few nomad


    vamps.


    “Luke is good, he misses you. But-” I hear a bang in the distance. “Luke, is that you?” My mother calls


    out. I don’t hear a reply, but I hear her moving to see who it is before she yelps. My heart sputters in my


    chest at the sound.


    “Grap sorry mom.” I hear Luke’s voice, making me rx. “Geez, son, you scared the living daylights out


    of me, I thought you were your father,” she chuckles, nervously. Yet her words made me nervous. Were


    things really that bad at home that she was still frightened of him.


    2013 Before finding out Axton was my mate, their marriage


    was solid, loving and something I wanted yet now my mother hardly speaks about my father, mostly


    she talks about pack business but never their rtionship.


    “Go make some afternoon tea, I will be out soon,” I hear her tell Luke. He replies quickly, wandering off,


    and I hear more movement before finally she speaks. “It was just Luke,” she chuckles.


    “Mom, what’s going on with you and dad?” I ask her.


    “Nothing you need to worry about, you just focus on those boys of yours and not worry about us.”


    “Mom! What is going on?” | demand. She falls quiet for a second.


    “Nothing, things have just been rough since the leaked video, I can’t forgive him for what he did, and he


    sees no wrong in his action-So, I filed for divorce,” she finally states, and I fall back into my chair.

    “You filed for divorce?” I ask shocked. The mere thought of what she was telling me was near


    impossible to fathom. Mates rarely got divorced. Usually, the only way out of a mate bond is if one is


    dead.


    “Does he know?” | ask her. Once again, my mother falls silent.


    “No, not yet. That’s why I freaked out. He was being served with the papers today, I…thought.”


    “Mom, you need to get out of there, I don’t like the idea of himing home with this information,”


    “And go where? Luke has school, I can’t abandon the pack. He will cut us off. I am hoping that by


    serving him the papers, he might see, might finally agree to listen.”


    I shake my head incredulously. How does she not see the danger she is in? Dadtely has been


    unhinged, and with the growing tension between him and Axton I now feared con stantly for her safety.


    “Come here,e to the ranch.”


    “I can’t Luke has school, the pack. I’m scared he’ll take Luke from me if I try to leave, or if I go stay in a


    motel. What if he banishes me.”


    “Mom! Do you hear yourself? Everything you just said is a reason to leave, not stay!” | snap at her


    when once again I hear a loud bang.


    “Shit, that is your father, I will try to call you on Friday. I must go,” she says, hanging up the phone and


    leaving me staring down at the shing screen. Secondster, Sondra walks in, and I nce up at her.


    “Everything okay?” she asks as I blink back tears, worried about my mother and brother.


    “I don’t know.” | answer, feeling useless that I am unable to help her.


    “Whatever it is, we will figure it outter. For now, I have someone I want you to meet,” she says,


    nodding toward the front of the store.
