I wanted to shift back to my human form, but it didn't feel safe. I took a deep breath and it was then when I noticed what was wrong.I was in another pack's territory.I looked around, trying to think when it was that I crossed the line and trespassed. The law of trespassers, especially for rogues, was death. Being distracted and wrapped up in my thought's had made me lose concentration without even noticing.I slowly retracted my steps. Unless the pack was doing rounds right now, there shouldn't be anyone so out in their territory. I knew I was in the outskirts of their land, but I was still about a mile in.My father many times tried to teach me about all the packs in the US and each time, I thought there were better things to do. Now, I knew why that was the wrong way to go.For sure, I knew there were only twelve packs in the US, all located in the areas with the biggest greenery. To know which one I was trespassing and what they could do to me- that was still a mystery.I was
We reached his house, which was what I had been expecting. It was massive, and looked elegant- despite it being in the middle of the woods.He was still dragging me along by the shoulder. Once we reached inside, he walked us to a room I assumed was his office."Sit," he ordered, going behind the desk and grabbing a shirt.He grabbed his phone and started pacing around the room."Russell, I need you here in five minutes," he said into the phone."No, everything's alright, just come," he told whoever he was talking to.We waited in silence until the guy, who was probably Russell, got there."Is she... your, mate?" the guy asked the Alpha as soon as he entered the office.The Alpha shook his head but didn't say anything else."I need you to watch her while I go up and shower," the Alpha told the guy."Sure," the guy replied, walking into the room."If she tries to leave, just restrain her," The Alpha warned him, but looked at me as he said that."Who is she?" he asked with a curious look
The Alpha was looking around in his drawers for something, and I had no idea what was going on. He seemed frantic in finding it, so I remained in my seat, quietly.When I had enough of sitting still, I decided to try and get some answers from him."Why aren't you killing me?" I asked him, really wanting to know his answer."Many reasons," he replied, not turning to look at me while he kept on his search."Can I know some of them?" I asked."For starters, you are a girl. Like I said, rogue she-wolves are rare, especially if they are alone," he said, taking a seat but looking thoughtful."That's all?""No, the mark on your neck, which proves you belong to an Alpha, also stopped me. I would be disrespecting his pack if I killed you. In anyway, if I did kill or hurt you, he could take it as a sign of me wanting to start a war- which is something I have no interest in whatsoever," he replied, looking at the ceiling. He looked distracted by something and I was wondering what it was."Oh,
Dylan's POV:I walked toward the entrance of the mall. Only 45 minutes had gone by since I left Leila, so I chose to wait for her outside.Just the thought of Leila, brought a smile to my face.It was all happening this weekend. I would present her to the pack, and by then- we would be fully mated. Thinking of that was stirring my wolf.I knew it wasn't time yet, but I decided to go in and look for her. My wolf was missing her and so was I.More people filled up the stores than before I had left. There was a hint of Leila's scent in the air, but it was weak. I walked around aimlessly, hoping to find her in the stores I walked through.When I checked the time once again, it was already 10 minutes after the hour.While I walked to the front parking lot, I scolded myself for simply not waiting for her up front.There was a hint of rain in the air. I could smell the scent of the wet ground, so the rain must be coming our way. I chose to sit on one of the benches, next to a tree.Leila sh
It took me about twenty minutes to get to the mall. I was twice faster in my wolf form than when I drove there.I smelt the packs scent all over the area. I perked up my ears, trying to listen in on any wolves from my pack.. No one seemed to be around.'Did you leave the search?' I asked Jace, my wolf coming out once again as I spoke to him. From the minute I noticed Leila was gone, my wolf had surged from me whenever I spoke to anyone- even my father.'We're at your parents' house, but the search will continue once we form a new plan,' Jace replied.'So you are wasting your time at my parents' house, while my mate is out there?' I asked him.'It was your father's idea, and I think it is better. We need a plan,' he said.I chuckled darkly, finding their decision useless and idiotic.I simply continued on my search. It was no use, and I knew it as well. My wolf didn't want me to rest until I found her. Until I found our mate.It was dark outside when I returned home. Once I shifted
Alpha Jackson was my former Alpha, but Blake also knew Dylan. Blake would be more loyal to them because they were also Alphas. I was simply a rogue that was causing him problems. Fear was settling in at being with Blake and not knowing what he would do next.I was a minute away from telling him that I ran away from Dylan, but maybe it was better if I went back.After all, I preferred Dylan a million times over going back to my pack, how things had been before, or the punishment I would face for running away.In the moment I was about to speak, the home phone rang. Blake got the annoyed look he had all day when his phone was ringing non-stop.He walked out of the dining room and to his office. I followed him, wondering who could be calling so late.When we walked into his office, the phone had already rung plenty of times, but it was still going."Hello," Blake answered the phone, his tone different than when he spoke to me.Throughout the day, I noticed how he was like any regular A
I woke up the next day feeling restless. There was a knock on the door and I sat up from the bed, running a hand through my hair."Leila, are you awake?" Blake's voice came from the other side of the door."I'm up. You can come in," I replied.I fixed the comforter, trying to cover up my bare legs. I was only wearing Blake's oversized shirt, and I didn't want anything on display- that shouldn't be.Blake walked in looking great. He had already showered, and wore jeans and a dark polo shirt.I raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to speak."How did you sleep?" Blake asked, walking to stand in front of my bed."I've slept better, but you own one hell of a comfortable bed," I told him. He replied with a chuckle."You missed him, didn't you?" Blake asked, with a knowing look."Are you going to give me breakfast?""Nice change of subject, and yes. Be ready, we're going out," Blake informed me, getting up from the bed."Where are we going?""A nice restaurant in town. Don't worry, you'll love
"Let's go inside. It's starting to get fresh out," Blake said, unlocking his door and letting us in.He walked to his study, with Michael by his side. I didn't know what else to do, so I followed along after them."I need to tell you some things, it's about the pack," Michael said, giving Blake a look and then nodding at me.I smiled, catching his drift of wanting me out of the room."It's okay, I'm leaving to my room," I told the pair. Blake chuckled at Michael, giving me an amused look."I don't think so Leila. You're still under my watch," he said, looking at me."You can speak in front of her. It's okay," Blake told Michael. Even though Michael looked unsure, he didn't question Blake."It's actually about her I want to talk about. Yesterday, Russell was here and he said the girl threatened to get him kicked out of the pack. He told Linda and from there, it spread throughout the pack. Everyone now wants to know if it's true that she's your mate," Michael said, not wasting a breat
