Angela POV
I have heard of stories of the wolves coming into town on the full moon and taking women. Some locals say it is a myth and others know it to be true. I have never known one personally until now. My best friend is missing. No one has seen her in weeks. It seems like everyone is covering it up. I want to find Deanne, but the only way to do that is to go into wolf territory to look for her. I know she would look for me, so I am not giving up on her.
I am not afraid. I dress in jeans, a t-shirt, a warm jacket, and running shoes. I am not sure if I can outrun a wolf, but I have to look for my friend. I have to find her tonight. If I can find one wolf or person not afraid to talk to me and tell me where she is located or simply that she is okay, I will be content.
I drive my car to the edge of town, where the wolf bars are located. Deanne was seen here last by the only person willing to talk. He is not even willing to talk anymore. The only witness has a sudden case of amnesia. The wolves probably paid him off or scared him into forgetting what he saw that night.
She went for a drink with a guy she met online in a chat room. I told her it was a dumb thing to do. She knew nothing about him, But she did not listen to me. I was busy that night, or I could have gone with her. I should have been there to protect my friend.
I have a lot of guilt about it, but the only thing I can do now is to keep looking for her. I am damn determined to find my friend one way or another. Her parents have suddenly stopped looking for her, which leads me to believe that a wolf paid them to stop looking. I wonder what their 26-year-old daughter was worth to them. They both have begged me to stop looking, but I refuse. Tonight I will have my answers.
I park my car, and I walk down to the Howling Moon bar and grill to see if anyone will talk to me. I go in the door and sit at the bar. The other patrons are definitely wolves, and they are getting their eyes full of me. I bet not too many college girls come in here unless accompanied by a wolf.
An older lady wolf comes over to me. She smiles and smacks her gum. She looks a little rough around the edges. She has seen her better day, and it is in her distant past.
"Honey, I think you are in the wrong bar," she says.
I pull out a picture of Deanne. "Have you seen this girl? She is my friend. I am trying to find her; please help me," I beg her.
She looks at the picture and leans down at me. "Put that away. Are you trying to get killed," she says.
She grabs a beer from behind the bar and puts it in front of me. "Drink this beer and then get the hell out of here before something bad happens to you, too," she says.
I sip the beer and watch the people in the bar. They are looking at me and whispering. Someone here knows where Deanne is; I just know it. She comes back after a few minutes. "Alpha is here; you best get out of here before he sees you," she says to me.
"I am not afraid of him," I say to her.
"Evidentially, you are stupid too, now get the hell out of here," she says.
"Maybe, I am stupid, but I only want to find my friend; please help me. What if it was your friend? Wouldn't you want to find her?" I ask.
"I am telling you, if you want to find your friend, you better get the fuck out of here before the Alpha comes over here," she says to me.
"Do you know where she is?" I ask her.
The bar gets quiet as the Alpha comes in the back door. He looks around the room and spots me first. He looks at me and shakes his head. "Well, I bet you are going to find out," she says to me.
I turn to see the Alpha staring me down. He walks over and sits next to me at the bar. "Are you lost, little girl?" Alpha asks me.
"I think she might be, Alpha," the bartender says.
"Not your concern Lia, shut up and bring me a beer," Alpha says to the bartender.
Lia walks away to get the Alpha his beer. She returns a few minutes later to find the Alpha still staring me down. He is waiting for me to get scared and run away from him, but I am not afraid of him.
"So why are you here, little girl?" the Alpha asks me.
I sit up straight and look him in the eye. "I am looking for my friend Deanne," I say to him sternly. I pull out her picture and place it on the bar in front of him. Alpha takes a sip of his beer and sets his beer down on her image.
The Alpha laughs at me. "I know where Deanne is; she lives with me now," the Alpha says.
"I only want to know that she is okay," I say to him.
"Fine, I will take you to her unless you are scared of the big bad wolf," Alpha says to me.
"I am not afraid of you, wolf," I say to him.
Alpha finishes his beer. He stands up from the bar and extends his hand. I take it. He leads me out of the back of the bar as everyone watches. We walk through the back to a car waiting for him.
"Get in, little girl," he says as he opens the door for me.
I get in the car. This is probably the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life, but I need to know Deanne is okay. Alpha gets in the car and grins at me.
"You can get out if you are scared, little girl," Alpha says.
"I already told you that you do not scare me, wolf," I snarl back at him.
"Well, then let's get this party started," Alpha says to me.
He drives down the back street and onto the main road. I try to pay attention to where he is taking me. Just in case I have to make a run for it later. He drives us out of the city and into the country area of town. Within an hour, we are deep in the woods. There is no way I can find my way out of here. I am at his mercy now. This is the stupidest thing I have ever done; there is no doubt now. I am in a strange car with a peculiar wolf going down an unfamiliar road. Fuck! What was I thinking?
"Are you afraid yet, little girl?" Alpha asks me.
"No, are you taking me to Deanne, or are you taking me out here to kill me? And stop calling me little girl; I am a grown-ass woman," I snap at him.
"I would never hurt a woman," Alpha says.
"Are you sure about that?' I ask him.
"I am positive, miss," Alpha says.
He pulls into a row of cabins. "Your friend is in that cabin, right there," Alpha says to me, pointing to a small cabin in the middle of the row.
"I can just go in and see her to make sure she is okay, and then you are just going to take me back?" I ask.
"Yes, if you want to go back tonight, or you are welcome to spend time with your friend, miss," Alpha says.
"Okay, thanks, wolf," I say to him.
I get out of the car and walk up to the cabin. I knock on the door. "Deanne, it is me, Angela," I say through the door.
I hear some movement. Deanne comes to the door. "You shouldn't have come here," she says as she reaches out to hug me. As I feel the warmth of her embrace, something pinches my arm, and everything goes black. I feel myself hit the floor, and then I feel someone pick me up.
"Angela," I hear Deanne say my name, but I cannot open my eyes. I let myself fade into the darkness.
