A Runt Luna novel Chapter 45

"They are the last of their packs, taken as hostages." Rory explained softly.

"Georgia, Ian help get the children to the house." Kole demanded. "Let's go home." Kole scooped her up in his arms, and followed the others to their house.

All too soon Rory was sitting in their house, surrounded in a blanket. She was touched by the worry of her friends and family, but was quickly overwhelmed by the hugs from them. Ian had attached himself to her side, as if afraid she would disappear again, and she did all she could to reassure him.

Tea was made, and everyone was sitting in the living room. Titus was sat in a chair, Josh and Alex standing behind him anticipating him to try to escape. Peter stood in the doorway, his eyes falling on the three children who were siting on a different couch. Georgia and Ian were on either side of her, and Kole sat in the chair next to the couch they were occupying, eyes fixated on Titus.

"What happened?" Kole demanded. "You went for a run and then you were just gone."

Rory nodded and explained all that happened over the two months that she had been captive, but ghosted over the torture, and explained that Titus had truely helped them.

"If he was so helpful, why did it take him two months to get you out of there?" Georgia asked, a look of anger on her face, one Rory had never seen before.

"My mate was being threatened, Franklin killed her, which is why I decided to intervene and get Rory and the children out of there." Titus said. "My mate was with cub too, and I wasn't about to let Franklin end another life before it began."

The room went silent, and that was when Rory realized that Kole still had no idea about the baby.

"A baby." Kole demanded, shocked and angry all at once. "You are pregnant?" He asked looking at Rory, his eyes flickering to her stomach.

"A little over ten weeks along." Rory nodded, and it was that look of paleness that washed over Kole that she knew exactly what he had thought before she had told him how far along she was. He thought that she became pregnant while being captive.

The silence was deafening, before Georgia stood. "I think its time to leave you two alone. I am going to help get the kids cleaned up."

Soon Kole and Rory were left in the room, and Rory stood and walked over to the chair that Kole was sitting shell-shocked in.

"Kole?" Rory questioned, slipping to her knees to be able catch his eyes. "Are you ok?"
