SWNOVELS Chapter 53
Toby
I’m sure Tobys shift will be coming to an end soon, I need to make him an offer he can’t refuse and fast so he has time to think about it.
I decided to throw it out there.
“Toby, don’t answer now, think it over until your next shift but, what if I can offer you the amount Argon is paying and a stable place in my pack as a warrior, you and your family.” I offer hoping he will see he is on the losing side. I hope I can sell this to him, or he at least takes the time to think about it.
“That’s a big offer little Luna, how do I know I won’t just be labelled a traitor to my Alpha? How do I know I won’t die getting you out of here, or even as soon as your mates sight lands on me? You said it yourself, you are mated to two powerful Alpha’s.” He asks and I can tell he is considering my offer.
“What you don’t seem to be thinking is that I am a very strong Luna and my Alpha’s will take my word, they love me very much and would pay any amount to have me back and reward anyone that keeps me safe generously.” I tell him, “Even if they manage to get here before we get out, if you accept my offer I will make sure you are still rewarded the same. You can offer your pup the life you want for it and have a stable pack and Alpha’s that will always put their pack first.” I am practically begging now but I know I can keep my promise, I will not lose lives in this ridiculous nightmare obsession of a crazed Alpha.
I hear footsteps coming from quite far down the hall, Toby jumps up and gives me a thoughtful look before leaving the room and putting the locks back in place.
I hear chatter outside the door and footsteps leaving again, minutes later I hear the locks turning again and hope it’s not Argon I just need to hang tight for Toby to mull over my offer and take it, it’s the right thing to do rooting for the winning team, I realise I don’t know when his next shift is, how could I not ask him when I will next see him. I throw myself back in to the pillows, honestly for someone so smart I’m a whole lot of stupid sometimes.

Ajax, the teams are in place in the North, South East and West they are ready to move forward and alert us if they find anything, we also still have our men watching Earth Shines border but I don’t think he is careless enough to take her back there. Let’s hope these teams pick up a lead and we can get our Luna back.
OK teams, Bear move your men, Rach do the same, head to the centre of your position, don’t make any moves. If you find something Ajax and I will move in, for now let’s scout and make a plan when we reach the next step. Let’s get our Luna home. I hear Ajax words in my head, he has sent out a link to all of the warriors in place.

Someone clearly changes their mind about opening the door as the locks all click back into place and no one enters.
It’s been two days since I’ve spoken to Toby. The woman that brings my meals has been coming in for just that and otherwise I have been left alone. I asked her where Argon was and she told me he was at a business meeting to strengthen the pack and move them to here, wherever here is, as he has taken the land and properties to make the new Earthshine Pack lands.
I sit twiddling my thumbs, a film on TV giving background music but mostly lost in my thoughts. It must be past midnight but sleep is not taking me.
As I lay deep in thought, my ears perk up at the sound of my locks moving, it’s as though someone is trying to open them quietly. I shuffle to the edge of the bed and ready myself. Maybe someone is here to hurt me and doesn’t want to alert the guards or Argon.
