I was glued to the floor after Alpha made the announcement and pulled me into the car with him. "Great, my reputation has been ruined, you didn't even give me a chance to leave an impression on them.""I was still lingering around taking to the teachers, of course, I had to intervene, you belong to me and if anyone tried to do something to harm you, it's only sensible that I step in." I should be mad but heading him say the words made me blush."I don't think I can show my face in there ever again, this is so not how I planned my last year's in school to go," I told him."Of course you will, now they know not to mess with you," he shrugged, his eyes fixed on the road, "do you want me to take you home? No one's going to be at the pack house, border patrol has doubled in its intense care now." "No, just drop me off at the lake you took me to on my birthday," I sighed, looking out the window. If patrol was heavy like he said, the chances were that my mum was also away from home."Sure."
I could feel my blood boiling in anger but she was Kaden's known mate, I couldn't disrespect her. If what Alpha said was true and I was future Luna I would make her pay but staying in this room for even a second more was dangerous, goodness knew what I could do to hurt her.I turned around to take my leave, "yes, do exactly that, you goddamn bitch!" She called behind me."You have no shame," I called under my breath and once I was at the door, away from her, I added in a harsh tone, "I didn't choose alpha, he chose me."Coming to the packhouse was a mistake. I should have just gone home, I don't know what I was thinking.I felt tears well my eyes as I walked back home, "this is bullshit, I shouldn't be crying because of that bitch." I wiped the tears from my eyes aggressively. I tried to stop but it was against my control."Hey," I heard Riggs' voice as I was only a few feet from the packhouse. I quickly dried my eyes as best as I could and forced a huge grin before turning around to
“Do you think alpha is still mad at me?” I asked beta once we were on the pack house living room. He had gotten the bandages from the first aid box and was now wrapping my injury, on one knee in front of me while I sat on the couch.“He has every right to be,” he nodded, without looking up at me.“Are you mad at me?” I asked in a low voice, my eyebrows pulled together in worry. He met my gaze with a sigh from his kneeling position, “you endangered the pack, we’ve not been open to such risks in years, this was too far,” he sighed, “but I know you didn’t do it on purpose, it’s fine.”There was a brief moment of silence, “you know, I prefer it if you are mad at me instead, I don’t like the calm and collected, my mum will kill me, alpha will kill me,” I buried my face in my hands, “fuck what was I thinking,” I moaned.Riggs stood upright and cleared his throat, “stay here, let me get the ice pack for your elbow.”“It’s fine, I’ll do it myself, you’ve already done enough,” I shook my head
(Back to the pack run in chapter 23 for reference...)Nala whined, she didn't like how packed we were and needed the freedom. As soon as she saw the chance to deviate from the route alpha was leading, she slowed down, almost getting knocked over multiple times. She picked herself up and diverted to the left lane, away from all that tension.Once we were in the comfort of the woods away from residence, I shifted, glad to take control of my body once more.I knew better than to go any further as warriors heavily patrolled around the borders. I sighed, and drifted away in thoughts of my old pack and everything that I missed in it. "Coming here as your hideout, kitty?" I flinched out of my thoughts only to find Shadow standing behind me with her hands crossed across her chest. "What the fuck do you want Shadow? Did you seriously follow me all the way here just to tell me that?""Why did you leave pack run?" She asked me."It's none of your business, leave me alone!" I snapped at her, rol
It was taking too long for me to catch my breath, I put my hand up to my chest and decided to head downstairs for a glass of water. Getting to the kitchen, I poured myself at least ten glasses before I was satisfied and we to back to my room.I paced back and forth the room contemplating on whether or not I could Alpha about this. What would he do or say? I didn't know if he could hear it? Surely he could help me."He's my mate, I have no reason to keep anything from him." I assured myself. I tried my best to calm my nerves before leaving my room.I went to his room, I was about to knock on the door when I heard two voices conversing from within."Are you certain about this?" Alpha asked someone inside the room with him.I furrowed my eyebrows, "yes alpha," Riggs called back. I felt relief to know they were back to having a conversation after all that had happened. How was he doing fine? he had just been unconscious."I saw it when I was cleaning her wounds up," Riggs said, "she was gl
Once we were away from the pack, I pulled her into a tight hug, not letting go. She was hesitant but she took my hug. "I can't believe this, what happened to you? How did you get here?""It's a long story." She sighed. "I knew I was not being delusional when I said I could smell you." I thought back to tonight and the invaders, I had picked her scent before the attack."I need your help, I lost my way and I have to take someone back to the pack but I can't do it on my own." She said in rushed tones. "How long have you been out here?" I wondering, noting how she looked like she had gone from going days without a proper meal.We continued to walk further away. I tried to keep track of my direction at the back of my head but it was proving impossible because I was distracted by the thoughts of what I had heard."How did you lose your way to begin with?" I asked her, giving her all my attention.Alpha would protect me no matter what but she had no one so I was going to be there for her.
CecilI couldn't believe Sam could break up with me after all we had been through. Taking this stroll was the only thing keeping me sane tonight. I almost fainted when I saw someone else taking a stroll on the streets.A bright smile cane on my face as soon as I saw that it was none other than Talie. I was going to call her and wave when I suddenly remembered what had taken place at the school. The last thing I wanted right now was to get in trouble with alpha for any reasons whatsoever."Fuck it," I shrugged, waving in her direction when out of the blue I saw her talking to a random girl that seemed to have popped out of nowhere.She seemed excited to see her but something about her felt suspicious.I decided to follow behind them carefully and that was when I saw them leaving the border. "What the fuck is happening?" I muttered to myself. I wouldn't dare step foot out of the border for anything. I watched from a distance as they laid in the field. It calmed me so much especially wit
Talie"You know I really didn't believe these people when they said you were part of another pack, I just did as they asked so they would release my mate," Shayla broke the growing silence between us. We had been sitting still, neither of us saying a thing."Your mate?" I looked at the tied up man thar had been unconscious the whole time, "but what about Ash?"She sighed, "I don't know yet, I was thinking of rejecting him," she glanced over at him and heaved another sigh, "but I really don't think I can bring myself to do it, I just can't.""This is definitely not how I planned a reunion between us to be," I told her. I'd thought I'd make a request from alpha to let me go see them, and help them out."Tell me about it, I should have just sat my ass back in the pack, be with my family, my lover and not have to deal with any of this, especially if I would have known you were fine and left on your own, gosh, I still can't believe you left without saying goodbye." The resentment in her voi
