Becca

If looks could kill my dearest mate would be dead. I just met him yet I hate his attitude.

‘No you don’t.’ My werewolf—felicia says, interrupting my thoughts. ‘Can’t you just go back to the hole you go to in the back of my mind and allow me to think in peace.’ I respond. I wonder how crazy Christina will react when she realizes she’s a werewolf and once she shifts will be able to talk to her werewolf.

‘I know right.’ Felicia interrupts my thoughts again. ‘Can you stop that! We’re in a situation here.’ I immediately shut her out and focus on the situation at hand. My mate, whose name I still don’t know, just syringed both Peter and Christina and is taking them to only God knows where. He sent his minions to take them somewhere yet it’s the same direction we seem to be heading.

“You can stop throwing daggers on the back of my head with your stare.” My dearest mate says. How did he know I was doing that!?

“I’m not.” I huff. He’s walking in front of me whilst Melissa and I walk behind him.

He slows down and stands beside me before he continues walking.

“I’m Isaac.” He says whilst looking sideways at me. He seems to be 6 foot tall so I have to look up to see his eyes.

I didn't want to respond to him but Melissa pinched me with her hand on my right side which caused me to raise my left hand. It bumps into him and he decides to hold it. I immediately recoil and try to remove it even though I can hear Felicia whimpering and pleading for me to keep holding our dearest mates hand. Melissa notices my movements and pinches me again so I let Felicia win and just grip his hand more. I would be lying if I said it didn’t feel good.

“I’m Becca.” I finally respond.

“I know you're displeased with my actions, but as a gamma you should understand that I have to do certain things as a Beta. Even if it includes locking up your rogue friends.” He says.

“I understand.” I whisper even though I want to snort. He’s only locking them up because they smelt like rogues to him, he was confused about Christina because she smells like an omega yet doesn’t have white strands of hair in between her brown hair which is the same hair color every omega has. She had dyed her hair brown but he’s not aware and I refuse to tell him she’s an actual omega, if not, she’ll be killed or worse, tortured.

“Anyways.. What are two powerful gammas like yourselves doing with rogues?” He asks whilst looking at the grass we’re walking on in the middle of the forest.

“You act like being a gamma is some big achievement. We’re technically just soldiers. I should be asking you why a powerful Beta such as yourself was busy lurking at the outskirts of his pack's territory. Were you expecting someone else?” Melissa says and raises a brow. I love when she makes sassy remarks.

Isaac just chuckles. I don’t think they were expecting someone else, they probably just saw us in their territory and wanted to know who dared to infiltrate it without request.

She’s been trying to keep me on Isaac’s good side ever since she found out we’re mates. After they’d put the hoods over Christina and Peter's heads and were dragging them away, she had whispered to me that I should make sure his love for me keeps growing so that I can gain his trust because he’s the only one that can get us out of this mess.

I agreed and here I am, being forced to hold his hand instead of using the hand to poke his eyes out.

“We’re here Beta Isaac.” One of his minions says from behind us.

I look away from Isaac and I’s interlocked hands and look back in front of me. There’s a huge mansion similar to our dads but smaller. Each pack stays in a mansion, the Alpha king made sure of it.

It’s in a rectangular shape however and reminds me of the White House in some way, just without the huge pillars In the front. We come out of the forest and I notice more details about the building.

There are plants growing from top to bottom on the walls. There are children playing around and even some werewolves chasing each other.

If I hadn’t just almost gotten kidnapped by this pack I’d actually think it was pretty demure.

“Which way did they take Christina and Peter?” Melissa whispers.

“I’m not sure, but I think it was in here.” I say.

We walk through the front door and are immediately overwhelmed with different people greeting us. The Gammas of the Cross moon pack.

“So nice of you to visit.” An old woman says with a bright smile on her face and I try my best not to scowl because I can see right through the fakeness.

“Visit? She’s my mate, she’s here to stay.” Isaac says and I just look at him, so does Melissa. I immediately remove my hands from his and walk further into the building.

The interior is beautiful, it has decorations of Cupid and almost everything is brown and is either made of wood or animal skin. They are hanged animals all over the walls as decoration. The carpets are made from animal skin too.

Right in front of the entrance a few meters away is the animal skin covered throne. I have heard about this pack a lot but because it’s not really seen as high I didn’t bother myself enough to check on the territory and its location.

“I’ll go call Alpha Xavier.” Isaac says and leaves.

“Isaac must be insane if he thinks you're staying here with him.” Melissa says.

‘You should though! There’s nothing wrong with that, and anyways you’ll soon enter heat now that you’ve met your mate.’ Felicia says. I dunno how she managed to leave the back of my mind and is now right at the front. I ignore her and link my mind to my dads so that I can let him know that Christina’s in trouble. He had told us to keep him updated on everything.

“I think we should just mind link our thoughts before our words get heard and lead us to trouble.” I say to Melissa.

‘Fine.’ Melissa says through the mind link.

‘I wouldn’t have minded if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s not a good person’ I respond.

‘You just met him today, give him time!’ Felicia intervenes as usual. I’m thanking God that our werewolves can only communicate with their persons mind and not other people's mind, if not Melissa would be hearing what Felicia is saying. And unfortunately for me, Felicia can hear whatever I mindlink or get mind linked.

Isaac returns and I feel the power of Alpha Xavier Before he even appears. He finally walks through a door and sits on his throne. We all kneel in his presence to show our respect.

“Alpha Xavier, thank you for permitting us to meet you.” I say standing from my bent position.

“It is indeed a pleasure.” Melissa says and smiles.

“The pleasures all mine, Isaac here says you are his mate, we’ve been looking for you for years, can you believe that,” Xavier chuckles.

“Feel at home, you two will soon be married.” He smiles flashing his white teeth that contrast with his brown skin and hazel eyes.

I try not to roll my eyes.

“Anyways, what brought you to our territory?” He raises a brow.

“We were running from a bunch of rogues, they tried to kill our rogue friends but stopped chasing after us when we entered this territory. Forgive us, we didn’t know where we were heading towards.” I say and Xavier nods. I can sense Isaac smiling proudly next to me, he must be beaming. Ugh.

“May we see our friends?” Melissa asks and I almost hit her head in front of everyone.

“Why were you running from rogues because of rogues?” Xavier asks and shakes his head, “hell, why are you friends with rogues.” He raises a brow.

“That’s what I asked too.” Isaac says out of nowhere like someone asked for his opinion. His hands are back to being behind his back, he’s wearing shorts and a shirt. He changed when he went to get Xavier.

“We don’t like to discriminate.” I shrug.

“Too bad because I love to discriminate. You may not see your friends.” He frowns and lifts up his hand indicating that we should leave his front.

Isaac holds my hand and I hold Melissa’s as he drags us elsewhere. It’s the living room of the mansion, at least one of them because I’m sure there are many. This one has a bunch of couches everywhere. Including dining tables. He lets go of my hand once we enter and then holds onto the door.

“I’ll send you guys food and water, make yourselves at home.” He smiles and leaves.

I make sure the door closes before I turn to Melissa. “Why the hell would you ask that?” I spit.

“I’m sorry, I was worried about them!” She all but yells.

‘Our conversations might be recorded, forget about your stupidity for now, we’ll deal with that later. How do you plan to get Christina and Peter out?’ I mindlink Melissa.

‘True. You need to go talk to Isaac, try and find out more about him and get information out of him, after that convince him to talk to Xavier for us so that At Least they’ll get a chance to be brought in front of Xavier, perhaps he’ll be Lenient.’ Melissa says.

‘Do I really have to be the one to do this.’

Melissa nods and I sigh. Today’s going to be a long day.
