Chapter70
“Well hello there, Rose! Long time no see!”
That voice. I hoped I would never hear that voice again in my life. A shudder went through my spine, my mind was instantly flooded with the memories of that night. The night when I lost so many things, but that led me here, to the place I found happiness, even if for just a little while.
He was here. Conner Mathews was here. The nightmare. The bastard that had raped me and had mutilated me. He was here, standing behind me. Right now,
“What, little Rose suddenly lost her voice? Oh, I’m so happy that I leave you speechless!” he taunted me. God, how I hate that he uses my middle name to taunt me… I slowly turned around and yes, there he was, in all his naked disgustingness, covered in dirt and blood, his blond hair disheveled, eyes crazy, sadistic smile on his face.
“Missed me?” he winked.
“In your dreams.” I answered bravely and squared my shoulders, chin high in the air in false bravery, but my dignity was all I had left.
“Aw, you’ve wounded me…” he pressed his hand to the heart and laughed.
“What do you want?” I asked him in what I hoped was a firm voice.
“Oh, you see, little Rose, I discovered that you have something of mine…” he said pointing at my
stomach. “And we can’t have that!”
“What do you want with my baby?” I asked quite stunned.
“There’s the thing, I want nothing to do with it. If you only told me, that you are carrying that
bastard child, I would have given you some money for an abortion, but no! You had to run away and grow this abomination in you!” his features twisted in disgust, some spit flew out of his mouth, his eyes turned even more crazy. My hands automatically went to protect my stomach.
“You are not getting anywhere near my baby!” I shouted angrily. I was ready to protect Hope with
all I had.
“What will you do? Hit me with a crutch?” he laughed at me, but after a second his laugh died. “This
disgrace has to go! And you are going to go with it.” He stated firmly and started moving my way.
That’s when I remembered, that I had a gun. It’s time to put that hard work to use. My silent
resolution fuelled my strength and as quickly as I could I reached for the gun and made two shots. One had hit Conner in the thing and he fell to his knees with a startled cry. Another one missed. Well, at least I had hit him once. But then he jerked my way and startled me so that the gun dropped from my hands and I realised that it was time to flee. Maybe outside I would meet someone to protect me. So as fast as I could and using the wall as an added support I made a run. I heard
shuffling behind me and Conners grunts, but decided not to pay any mind to it. I needed to move to

save my baby.
I have absolutely no idea how I managed to get out of the house, but the landscape outside made me stumble for a second – the yard where we had the BBQ was all covered in blood and bodies of wolfs. I had no idea how to separate the rogues from the pack fighters, but I really hoped, that none on the good men had suffered or worse, died. A lot of wolf’s were still fighting, but no one seemed to pay any attention to me, so I continued my journey to only god knows where. Or in this case, the Moon Goddess, since well, you know.
And it turned out that the Moon Goddess had a wicked sense of humour, because a couple of minutes later I found myself struggling through the woods again. And Connor was chasing me. Again. Only this time I was in a huge disadvantage. My feet hurt, my back hurt, my thigh was killing me, but I pushed myself harder and harder. I heard the crunching of the grass behind me, but it was already dark and I couldn’t see that clear. What I could do was hear him, and he was playing with
he was playing with me. Taunting with me. I quickly understood, that he wasn’t trying to catch me, me like a cat with a mouse before killing me.
