Moonlight In Chains (Trinity and Asher) novel Chapter 13

CHAPTER 13

I had to steady my mind and find a way to control my breathing so I didn’t go into a full–on panic attack. But I managed to steady myself, and I looked back up at Gage with a neutral look on my

face.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said, playing dumb. I thought pleading ignorance was the best course of action at this time. I was so caught off guard by his admission that I wasn’t prepared for it. So all I could do was deny it. Even with the evidence. The broken wrist, the bruise on my head that took a couple of days to heal, and other injuries that I know he has seen over the

years.

“Don’t do that. Don’t act dumb and don’t act like I’m an i***t. Don’t pretend like it’s not obvious. Arlo

and I have known about it for ages. We thought you would tell us when you were ready, but you

never did. And now things are starting to get out of control.” Gage said.

“What the f**k would you know about it? Who else have you said this s**t to?” I asked.

“No one. We wouldn’t do that to you. But you need help. You need to get out of that house.” Gage

said.

“You don’t know what you’re talking about. Just leave me alone Gage,” I said.

“Trinity. I know that you are scared of them. We can protect you.” He said, grabbing my arms so I

couldn’t walk away. But I still pushed him away.

“You don’t know what the f**k you are talking about. I’m not a victim. I have never been a victim.

Just leave me the f**k alone.” I yelled, walking off. But this time he didn’t follow after me.

I was glad that he didn’t, but I was still walking but I made sure that I was walking really fast so he

didn’t try to catch up with me. So he knew that I wanted to be left alone.

I wasn’t sure how many people saw that scene. I just got out of there as fast as I could.

I didn’t want to go home either. Not after that interaction that Gage had with my parents while I was out of the room. So I didn’t go home. I walked around town for a little bit and I went to the outskirts of town, near the treeline of the forest so less people could see me. And less people would be able to tell Gage and Arlo where I was when they came looking for me. Because I knew they would come looking for me.

I

I didn’t even have anywhere in mind to go. I mean, usually I have somewhere to go but at the moment, the packhouse was out of the question. So I went to the library instead.

I grabbed a book off the shelf and I sat on one of the couches that they had set up at the back of

the room and I started reading it from the beginning.

I knew that not many people would come into the library to look for me

Most of the people I knew probably didn’t even know where the library was.

I sat at the back of the library completely engrossed in the book I was reading, not realizing how long I had been sitting there.

The librarian came to tell me that she was locking up so I looked out the window and the sun was

setting in the sky.

I had been there for most of the day just killing time. So I put the book back and I grabbed my bag

and left the library.

I started walking around town as a lot of businesses were closing up for the day as well.

I eventually stopped at a park that I usually hang out at with the twins, but this time I sat on the

swing and I pulled my phone out of my pocket.

I put it on silent while I was in the library and it had been blowing up all day from people trying to

get a hold of me..

There were a lot of missed calls from Gage and Arlo as well as messages. But what shocked me

most of all were the missed calls from Asher.

I’m surprised he didn’t have the warriors out looking for me.

But if he knew that I just had a fight with Gage then he is probably giving me some space.

He only tried to call me twice when the others had tried dozens of times.

I knew that I had to go home eventually, but I was really worried about it now. It was getting closer, knowing that I couldn’t stay out all night otherwise my parents would end up calling the Alpha and have the warriors looking for me. That would just make things even worse and piss my parents off

even more.

I sat in the park watching the sun set before I got up and I finally made my way back to the house.

As soon as I walked inside I saw mom and dad in the living room. But dad looked out the window

to make sure that I was alone.

When he realized that the twins weren’t outside and neither was their car, he stood up and grabbed me by the arm to stop me from going upstairs. But he grabbed me so roughly that I had to hold the bannister to keep from falling over my own feet.

“I haven’t done anything,” I said before he had a chance to say anything to me.

“Bullshit. You know what you’ve done. You brought those boys into this house.” Dad growled in my

face.

“I never invited them over. They were just here,” I said.

“Don’t f*****g give us that bullshit. You’ve been running your f*****g mouth about what goes on in this house.” Mom snapped as she got off the couch.

“I haven’t said anything. Gage saw you this morning.” I said.

“And he wouldn’t have seen that if you sent him home,” Dad yelled.

“He’s my best friend. And the Alpha’s son. Why didn’t you send him home?” I asked. But neither of them could answer that question, because it’s the same reason why I couldn’t send them home.

Honestly, I didn’t want to. I wanted them here so I could have peace of mind that I would be safe last night. But I knew that it would piss mom and dad off.

“You are nothing but a f*****g mistake. I regret ever bringing you home.” Mom taunted.

“Get downstairs. Now.” Dad demanded. He pushed me towards the hallway where the basement door was but I stopped walking and turned around to face him.

“Go to hell.” I said.

“Excuse me?” He asked, almost shocked that I would dare talk back to him.

“I said, go to f*****g hell. I didn’t do anything wrong. You’re punishing me for something that I didn’t

do and both of you can get fucked.” I yelled.

Dad’s eyes instantly changed color and he pulled his arm back and punched me straight in the face, causing me to fall back against the wall.
