A few days have gone by and things couldn't be more perfect. I spent most of my days with Lilly, following her around like a lost puppy which she didn't seem to mind. She liked having me close by. I got to meet most of the pack and see where they lived. Every one was so welcoming. They all shared her excitement that she found her mate. She did some paperwork in her office while I went down to help and chat with the kitchen staff. Everyone here was so nice. No walking on eggshells. I could be myself here. Around dinner time, I go to help the kitchen. We were making pot roast with carrots and potatoes, fresh steamed green beans, mashed potatoes. My mouth was watering looking at all the food about to be cooked. Marie let me help with the roast. I seasoned it up nice and she was a little worried I went over board but I assured her it would be delicious. "Need some help?" I hear from behind us. I turn around and see my gorgeous mate standing the doorway. She puts
~Alpha Gregory's P.O.V.~"Sir. We've picked up his scent. It's faint but it's him." "Where is the little runt?""Up north sir. Montana, close to the Canadian border." "Scope it out. Find out exactly where he is and let me know. " I hang up before he replies. "I will find that runt if it's the last thing I do." "Why is he so important Greg?" "I like to finish what I start. You should know that by now Alice." She puts her head down. I should smack her for even questioning me but she's been a good bitch lately so I'll let it go for now. Heading down stairs everyone I pass bows down to me. "Good evening Alpha Gregory, would you like something to eat?" "That's the only reason I would be in this kitchen with you, " I tell the shaking little omega in front of me, "I guess there would be another reason." I say as I grab her. She cried out a little at my grip. I like when they're scared. Makes it much more thrilling. I laugh as I let her g
~Lilly's P.O.V.~Finding Mark has made my life so complete. He was a little rough around the edges when he got here. Scared mostly. He actually thought I was going to kill him hurt him. I could never do that. When I first saw him in the woods, I almost couldn't believe my eyes. He was hiding behind a tree but he was the most beautiful thing in the world. Shoulder length black hair, hazel eyes. He was tan, like all wolves but he was a bit more fair than most. He was so skinny though. It looked like he hadn't eaten in weeks. Once he ran, I knew he probably thought we were going to kill him so I just sent my Beta after him. Now a a couple weeks have passed and it's like he's a completely different man. He's so outgoing and laughs all the time. He's no longer a scared boy but a brave man. I can't get enough of him. I hate having to leave him but I've had to a couple of times. Someone has been killing rogues in the nearby territories. Rogues and packs have an understan
~Mark's P.O.V.~Lilly has been gone almost all day and I'm so bored. I've helped Marie with lunch and clean up, went and visited my family's grave, helped the cleaning staff and now I have nothing to do. I hope she comes back soon. I sound so pathetic right now. Wondering around the house, I find myself in her office. Walking over to the bookcase, I look through the books she has and find one I've read quite a few time since I've been here but I always find myself going back to. Alice in wonderland. I don't know why I like it so much but i do. Sitting down at her desk I open the book and start to read. As I turn the page, I notice a folder that says Rogue. I grab it and stare at it. Lilly might get mad if I go through her work stuff. I put it back down, and look back at the book. A couple glances at the folder and curiosity gets me, I pick it back up and open it up. First thing I see is an image of a guy with dark hair and his body tore apart. I flip the
"Hello little runt." I look to the end of the bed where Alpha Gregory is. He has Lilly in his arms, still sound asleep. "Such s pretty little bitch." He says stroking her hair. I try to reach for her but I can't move. Why can't I move? I look down at my hands and find the chained to the ground. The silver bites into my wrists everytime I pull against them. "I think I'll keep her." He says with a smile. "No!" I pull and pull at the chains but they don't budge. He runs his hands down her chest caressing her breasts."Don't touch her!" I growl. "What are you gonna do little runt? You're not strong enough to protect her. You can't even break through those chains. I could. I would for such a beautiful woman."He smiles an evil smile and kisses her. "Lilly! Wake up baby! Fight him." I see blood dropping into the floor below her. I look back up and see his mouth covered in blood and her throat ripped out. He eyes now open staring at me.
"Hello little runt." Gregory. He found me. "Nice place you got here. Wonder why you gave up a nice big house for a danky little cave." My eyes widen. He know about Lilly. Oh God I'm so stupid. I never should have left. "I don't know what you're talking about." I lie. "I've been in the woods this whole time.""Oh really? So you didn't meet your mate and move into her house a few weeks ago? Hmm. My Gamma tells me something different and see, well, he's not stupid enough to lie to me." "What do you want Gregory." "That's Alpha Gregory to you runt!" That pissed him off. "You haven't been invited to join her pack and you never rejected me as your Alpha. The pack bond may have weakened the further you got but it never really disappeared." That's how he knew I went north. Goddess I really am stupid. No one dared talk about rejecting your Alpha. I don't even know how to do it. "You don't even know how to leave my pack. That's hilarious. Those
Waking up in the middle of the night, I feel for Lilly but the bed is cold and empty. Sitting up startled because she's not there, I try to use the bond to feel for her. "I'm here love, just doing some work in the office." She mindlinks me. I get up and head towards her office. Opening the door, I see her sitting at her desk with just a lamp on. I go over and sit in a chair next to her. "What are you working on?" I yawn. "Now that we know who is behind the rogue deaths, I'm mapping out where he might have gone. Do you know if he has any ties to the packs around here?" I shake my head. "No. We weren't allowed to be in the meeting room while he was there. I do remember him walking past me once talking about going up north to see a good friend though. His name was...oh what was it. Andrew? Andy?" "Anthony?" "Yeah! That's it." She rolls her eyes."Fingures. Creeps like to stick together." "You know him?" "Unfortunately. He's in the neighboring pack to the east. We, um, used to ha
~Gregory's P.O.V.~"I almost killed that little runt!" I say slamming my fist on the table. "We'll get him Greg, just calm down. Just have to wait for a good time to strike. Now that Lilly knows you're the one killing the rogues, I don't think I could convince her to come here.""We need to find a way to separate them. That bitch interfered with my kill." "Why do you want the boy so bad? You've never really told me." "I like to finish things I start. Simple as that. I killed the rest of his family all except the little sister. Could never bring myself to kill a child, punish yes, but not kill." "And does he know she's still alive?" "As far as I know, no. She thinks he died. She's been my personal servant for 5 years. Girl learns quick. The second I enter my room she's there with a drink in hand waiting for the next command." "I see. Well, that would certainly pull him away from Lilly. I could come up with an excuse to get her here then you can send a little bird in to tell him t
