ALPHA XANDER’S POVThe gamma’s message didn’t finish registering in my head when I heard Donovan’s voice through the mind link, distracting me more. I cursed, already getting to my feet and rushing outside of the office and to the front door.‘You need to get down here man,’ there was no hint of playfulness in his voice when he spoke. Which meant it was serious.‘I’m on my way.’ I was already by the door when I replied. There weren’t many people around the pack house when I left, which was a bit unusual. The activities here were mostly more in the mornings and evenings. The hassle of getting
ADRIANA’S POVA loud thud had daciana and I jumping to our feet. Her golden eyes roved around the open garden, her stance defensive. She sniffed the air while I frantically looked around, another thud sounded just above us and she cursed. Her eyes glazed over, how it usually did when she was mindlinking. She must not have gotten what she was looking for because she rushed to my side and swept me up.“Fuck,” she cursed and with me hanging limply on her side, started running back toward the house.My eyes were wide with fear, I was confused not knowing what was going on but that didn’t stop the fear from taking over my body. She ran up to the stairs, like she was walking on smooth ground. My added weight did not bother her in the least as she sprinted up. She reaches the landing a lot sooner than I would have been able to alone.She pretty much throws me on the bed, her whole demeanor shaken and worried.“Stay here and don’t open the door unless you hear me or Xander.” She commands, the
ALPHA XANDER’S POVMy paws hit the ground with a vengeance as I ran through the pack, the events of the day made the usual traffic around the road free. I was more than happy for that, not sure I would have had the patience to not trample upon people that wasted my time.I tried to pay attention to my surroundings while I ran but I found myself zoning out, still desperately trying to mindlink my sister and hear how she is doing. I couldn’t get through to her, it felt like I was reaching the wall of someone that never existed. I didn’t want to give that thought much truth. Because if that were the case, then I was most likely going to lose my mind and go on a killing rampage after that. Forget the damned wolves masking their scents, even if they removed their souls from their bodies in order to not be tracked, I was going to find them and I would kill every one of them.The unsteady beat of my heart filled my ears, along with the ringing in my head. I could see the pack house in sight
ADRIANA'S POVI’ve been walking around the deserted looking pack. A few objects were strewn out in the streets, being the only thing apart from me that was outside. It made me feel a little better but I was also scared because I was alone. If I knew Xander’s pack members wouldn’t hurt me, I wouldn't be so sure about these ones.I had managed to climb out of the window without breaking my neck or falling to my death. Turns out there was a railing and a ladder outside, it all seemed too easy but when I saw the tub of paint outside, it made more sense and I was less suspicious of it.The usually alive and busy streets of the pack were more than quiet now, proving that what happened had to have been bad. I considered just finding my way back to the house and succumbing to my fate, because there wasn’t an escape in sight for me. I didn't let that thought live for more than a second before killing it.Somehow, my coming out to help Daciana turned into my own escape plan. That advice definit
ADRIANA'S POVAt first, the whole place looked like it was covered with trees. The doors opened and I saw a straight dirt path that would lead me to the street. My heart jumped but I kept it down, telling myself I wasn’t going to celebrate now. I needed to get out of here first. I could celebrate when I'm far away from here.I ran out of the house, ignoring the burning in my feet. At this rate, I wouldn’t stop even if I were to catch on fire. I was finally seeing freedom and I embraced it.I passed by the doors, watching it close back in place after I got out. I stopped for a split second and smiled, finally. I was free.I ran down the road, not glancing back.ALPHA XANDER’S POVMy attention was split between making sure Daciana is alright and asking her where the hell Adriana is. I knew they were together last, after Adriana left my office, she went with her for breakfast. It felt like years ago that she was in that office and I was thinking of bending her over my desk and fucking h
ADRIANA’S POVI’ve been running for more than an hour, my feet were more than tired and I think I stopped breathing some twenty minutes ago. None of this made me stop, even when I felt the liquid trailing down my back and the pain intensifying, I didn’t stop. Not when my feet threatened to buckle, completely exhausted and unable to carry me further, I didn’t stop either. I kept telling myself I’ve done the hardest part, I have left Xander’s pack, I couldn’t stop now.I didn’t think I'd made it to the finish line, and while it may take Xander a little while to realize I’m gone. I would rather put as much distance between us as I could before he comes after me. He won’t be so forgiving if he finds me, and I really don’t want to find out what he would do when he gets to me.I stop for a brief second and take in my surroundings, so I could think of where to head next. It wasn’t smart of me to leave without a map and nothing to keep me alive. I didn’t even have a loose change like the firs
ALPHA XANDER’S POVI’ve never heard Donovan this quiet in his entire life since I first met him when I was five, and running through the halls with my nannies following me around. He has always had something to say, but this time he chose to keep all his crazy thoughts to himself. I couldn’t say I was complaining.The only noise in the car was that of the engine running. The pain in my chest had intensified, reaching levels I didn’t know possible. If there was ever a physical representation of what it was like to have the life squeezed out of your heart, then it would be what I was experiencing right now. I held back the growl that was making it up my chest, Donovan’s hands tightened on the wheel.The issue at the pack was under control and things have gone back to normal, as normal as they could after an attack like that, totally unexpected. Save for those that were injured, no one actually died which was very impressive seeing how we weren’t prepared.God knows that was the last thi
ADRIANA’S POVI don’t know where I got the energy to sit up from but I guess fear was a great motivator. Ignoring the pain of the gravel digging into my palm, I crawl backwards, with my hands and feet when Xander’s large wolf growled in front of my face. I trembled, a shaky cry escaping my lips.His bright golden eyes did nothing to hide his anger, I was seeing it as clear as day. I fucked up, I knew it. But fuck it, I thought I could leave. I thought I’ve already done the hardest part. Dammit, I’ve already crossed his pack’s borders, how the hell did he even find me?‘That shouldn’t be your main point of worry right now’ his angry voice growled in my head. I shook, never getting used to hearing his voice in my head, how the hell did he even do that.I had nothing to defend myself with, though I doubted he would have wanted to listen to my reasoning anyway. I risked a glance over his large intruding form to Donovan standing leisurely, his back rested against a tree and his legs crosse
