I turned around and started running up the stairs to our room.I felt him walking behind me, his heavy footsteps making me aware of how close he was. As soon as I got to our room, I shut the door and locked it.My emotions once again got the best of me and I started crying tears of anger. This time my wolf was on my side. She felt hurt by the way her mate treated her, even when we hadn't done anything.My chest hurt, which made it harder to control the tears rolling down my cheeks. Dylan was banging outside the door, telling me to open it.I sat down on the edge of the bed and allowed myself to weep. I hated how out of control my emotions were.Since Dylan marked me last night, I spent all my time crying, craving his company, or making out with him.Dylan was threating to break down the door if I didn't open it. I was preoccupied with feeling depressed, that I paid no attention to him.With one hard push, Dylan managed to break the lock and come into the room. He was about to yell at

Dylan ended up driving us to the same mall where we had met when I had been with Jace.I smiled automatically, thinking that the day we met, was the first time I tried to escape- in this same place."What are you going to buy?" Dylan asked me. We were walking around inside the mall.To my surprise, it wasn't as crowded as it had been the day Jace had brought me there. I thought it was a disadvantage to me, but I didn't let it get me down. More people meant it would be easier to get away from Dylan, not that it was going to be easy in any way."I was thinking I could buy a casual dress or something like that," I answered, walking into a store. Dylan nodded his head and didn't add anything else.As I looked around at the clothes, pretending to be interested in them, Dylan would simply stand beside me. He would look around, look at me for a while, or stare at the clothes with a bored expression.The way he stood, made it seem like he was my body guard. I grinned when I thought that 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

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

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
