Chapter 71 - Mum Goes Missing

Baby's POV

I raise my head above the scattered papers in front of me. Justin was already back. He carried Nancy on his shoulders as he enters the hall.

"What did you do to her?" I growl as I stumble over the table.

"You asked me to bring her to you and I did just that, here is your princess" Justin mumbled as he lay Nancy on the sofa.

"Gently..." I said to Justin as  I  rush over to her side.

"Yes but I didn't ask you to knock her out, Justin" I mumble carrying Nancy in my hands tapping her cheek to wake her up.

"I didn't want to deal with her tantrums, she is just impossible to deal with and her continues questions" Justin chuckles.

"He is your Luna show some respect" I mumble rolling my eyes.

"She will soon wake up, deal with her furry, I am out of here, Branson?" Justin said looking at Branson.

"Wait, Justin, I'm coming with you, I don't want to be here when she wakes up" Brenson rumble as he stood up from his chair and joins Justin.

He has a point Nancy is going to be so pissed when she gets to know I was the one that kidnapped her.

"Wait where are you guys going?" I mumbled looking at them.

"Enjoy your dinner date Alpha" Justin mocks as they both bow and smirk.

They disappeared from the hall before I could even say another word.

"Ouch" Nancy groans holding the back of her head. Oh no she is awake. Only her can make me this scared.

I am scared of what she is going to do. "Hey Nancy" I mutter leaning closer to her. She tries to open her eyes one after the other. Now her eyes were finally opened. She stares sturdily around her surrounding.

-------------------

"Where am I?" I mutter as I try to record what happened.

"You!" I scream pointing the tip of my fingers in his face.

"Um... Nancy, I'm sorry it's not me, it's Justin he was the one that knock you out and brought you here" Baby rumbles in fear, well he is right to be scared because I feel like beating him to the pulp.

Why will he choose to let Justin kidnap me than bring me here willingly?

"And whose orders was it huh?" I said raising my hands. Baby squeal, before straightening up.

"I-I didn't give him the orders, you can ask him if you don't believe me," he said taking a step back.

"I will do that, you stood me up and you had the guts to send someone to kidnap me?" I howl as I stand up and take steps towards him as he steps back.

"Um" someone clears his throat standing by the door. Baby and I swiftly turn to face him in anger.

Baby stands straight as he puts his hands behind his back like the great and fearless ruler he was.

"I'm sorry alpha, I didn't mean to interrupt but the table is set," he said bowing his head. Baby raises his hand asking him to leave. He bows and leaves.

"So shall we eat?" He smirks thinking I was going to let it go. I rolled my eyes.

"Nancy, I'm sorry I had so much work to do," he said with a puppy face. He hugs me and won't let me go. I try to push him away but I couldn't A little cuddling and kisses around my neck was all it took for me to forgive him.

"Fine, but I won't spare Justin for knocking me out, it still hurts" I mumble frowning my face.

"Of course, you can deal with him, I will even help you" he resorted.

"Now can we eat?, I'm staving. I can smell the aroma of the food from here" he added raising an eyebrow. I let out a chuckle as I leave with him to the other chamber where our meal was served.

We walk to a high ceiling chamber with a big dining table and just two chairs. Varieties of foods were set on the table. The smell of it made my stomach crumble.

"Why are there just two chairs?" I rumble as I open the bowl in front of me. I took a seat and starts to dish out the food into the plate set in front of me.

"Because it's meant for two people" Baby smirks staring at me while I eat.

"I see" I let out a chuckle, he clearly knows why I asked that but I chose to ignore him.

After eating I tried to help him out with most of his work.

"You are smart when it comes to making decisions" he whispers gazing at me lustfully. His eyes had already undressed me.

"Say I'm great" I boast raising my shoulders as he smiles.

"I won't deny that, you are good at this. About our marriage..." He pouts. I almost gag when I heard him talk about marriage again.

"Are you okay? do you need water?" He asked with his eyes widened.

"I'm fine," I said nodding my head.

"As I was saying, once your mum gets back we will get married" he mutters with absolute seriousness.

I look at him raising an eyebrow. Why the hurry? besides my mum will be back in a day or two meaning we are getting married in two days.

I accepted to marry him but I don't want to rush it. I'm still wondering how my mum is going to take it. I saw forced to swallow hard holding my chest.

"My mum will be back in a day or two, let see what she say" I mutter avoiding eye contact.

"What! Your mother has nothing else to say other than to accept it. The pack needs an heir, It will be a blessing from the moon goddess and a blessing on the pack members" he snuffs.

I coughed. "Let's just take our time, let not rush it, everything will fall in its place at the right time" I mumble drawing closer to him.

"Of cause" he whispers patting my hair that was laid on his chest. He finally drops the marriage conversation.

My mum is going to throw a big tantrum when she hears this. I still don't know how I'm going to break the news to her so I try not to think about it.

I fell asleep without knowing. I woke up in my bed. I had a dream Baby and I got married before the ceremony was over the whole place become a blood bath his enemies had surrounded us and was killing everyone at the ceremony.

I woke up drenched in sweat. I pick the water jag close to my bed to pour myself some water to quench my thirst. Everything that happened in the dream looked so real.

Thank God it was just a dream. Baby might have brought me home. As much as I hate it I need to go to school else the principal will call my mum.

I took a quick shower, got dressed, and made myself some breakfast. I drove to school picking Betty on my way. Her dad had an emergency so he couldn't drop her.

She called me if I could pick her up.

"The principal wants to talk to you, I hope you know that?" Betty whimpers. She was having some snacks as always making noise in my ears. My face turned cold as I watch her chew hastily.

"I know, I hope I can blackmail her not to tell my mum" I mutter.

"Let hope so" Betty sniffs.

"That is not even my worry, Baby wants us to get married" I pout, looking away from the car steer to look at her expression. To my surprise she had none. Was she not surprised I was about to get married?

"I already know that and I also know you are scared. But Nancy you already know this will happen. Technically you two are already married when you began his Luna and consummate the marriage when you had sex.

He only wants you to move in with him so the town folks don't raise eyebrows" she said.

Of cause she read my mind, she had a point technically we are married. I don't know why that gave me a sense of relief.

The wave of hate that engulfed me was gone. As soon as we step out of the car I saw the school principal. She asked me to follow her to her office as Betty leaves for the class she raised her hand wishing me good luck.

As I walk behind her I could feel droplets of sweat coming together making my skin feel hot. I gritted my teeth as she question me about my poor performance.

My only excuse was being devastated about my dad's death.

"Nancy, I know your dad's death has been hard on you, but you need to think about your future. you are in senior year and you need to get your grades up again. This will be my last warning Nancy, if you miss classes and fail to take your tests I will have to speak to your mother then" she said looking above her old glasses.

I had to put up with her long bubbling. "Yes ma, it won't happen again," I said as I seek permission to go back to class. I couldn't wait to get out of there.

Outside the principal's office, I bump my head into someone.

"Ouch.." I groan.

"Are you okay Nancy?" A firm hand holds me up. I raised my head to see sir Newton.

"I'm sorry I wasn't looking" I pout.

"That's okay, I noticed. Um... Principals office? Are you in some kind of trouble?" He asked staring in my face as if he was searching for the answers in my eyes.

"Nothing serious" I mutter. I just want to leave from there.

"I see by the way how is your foot now?" He asked.

"Fine," I said. The school bell saved me. I nod my head as the bell rang and he understood I needed to get to Class.

The day went faster than usual. It was a Friday. I had a text from my mum saying she was returning today instead of tomorrow because she misses me and couldn't wait to come home.

I couldn't explain what I was feeling. I returned home to fix the house before she returns. I even made her dinner. I was fidgeting with my hands the whole time. I'm nervous and I don't know how to talk about this with my mum.

"Relax, Nancy everything will be fine. The worse will be for her to say no" Roland consoles.

I couldn't stay alone so I asks them to stay with me. Baby holds me and hugs me tightly. I felt calm in his arms.

"I'm here with you" he whispers.

It was past 10 pm and my mum haven't returned home yet. I called the hospital and I was told she left a long time ago.

They arrived in Akin city about 10 hours ago. Her phone is switched off. I was starting to get worried as lots of things runs through my head.

I began to cry in misery. Betty calls her dad to inform him while Baby sends his men out to look for her.

"Nothing will happen to her I promise you" Baby mutters holding me tighter.. Tears trickled nonstop down my cheeks.
