My mate, that was not what I was expecting her to say at all.
"How can that be when the pull is always in the same place?"
"I do not know that is for you to figure out."
The next day I arrange for me and Jack to head back to Alpha Derreks pack, just for me to try find what is going on and if that really was the pull to my mate.
When I arrive I am told by the Beta of his pack
"Alpha Derrek is sorry but he is unable to attend a meeting today as something very important has come up that needed to be attended to immediatly and he hopes you understand. Now Jerry here will escort you to your vehicles."
"I am sure we can find our vehicles by ourselves thank you." we turn around and start heading towards our car, but before we get to them I look around and make sure no one is watching us.
Jack this way. He looks confused but keeps up with me.
I feel the pull once more and I follow it. Jack close on my heels.
We head through a heavy wooded area and the pull is getting stronger.
There in the middle of the wood was a small bricked building. A few guards surrounding the outisde of it. What is going on here? I needed to see if my mate was in there, but how could I when there was so many guards? I get a little bit closer and then
"Mate." Lupa my wolf says.
So she was in there. Now I just needed to go and find a way to get to her, as just me and Jack were not enough to take on the whole pack if it came to that to get her. There must be a reason she was a in a building in the midde of the forest with guards surrounding her. What was happening here? Was she someone special to the pack that they protected her like this? Or were they working on something they didn't want anyone else to know about either way I needed more warriors with me. I didn't want to hurt anyone, but for me to get into that building I needed a fee more wolves to knock out the guards at the same time so that they couldn't mind link their pack.
Me and Jack got back in the car and I told him to get back to our pack land as quick as possible.
As soon as we pulled up I was mind linking the warriors of our pack to meet us.
We didn't have long to wait before the all turned up.
"look everyone, there is a building in their land that has guards surrounding it. I don't fully know what is in there but I want to know, now we are going back there as soon as it turns dark. We will need to knock the guards out all at the same time. I don't want this turning into a war are we all clear?"
"Yes Alpha." Rang out
The rest of the day was spent discussing layout and who was going to be where. Then we had the drive back there again.
We had timed it perfectly by the time we got there it was long dark, we parked a little bit away from the land and quietly snuck back onto their land making sure we avoided the wolves on patrol. Most of the general wolves were not around which is what we wanted.
"let's get to our places, everyone let me know when your there." I spoke to them using the pack mind link I didn't want to risk anyone hearing us.
I could see my wolves all move forward towards their targets. I get to my place and wait.
I get my first "ready" and within moments the rest of them follow.
"Right on the count of three we move. One, two, three." We all moved and knocked out the guard wolves. I came up behind my guard and wrapped my arms around his neck, he tried to claw my arm off him but I didn't let go until I knew he was unconscious, I laid his body down onto the ground and as I stood up, this is when shit kicked off. Someone must have been seen by one of the other packs wolves because within a few seconds of us knocking out the wolves loads of the other packs warrior wolves were here and ready to fight.
I speak to them not wanting this to turn into a war.
"We didn't come here to fight." But they were not listening.
"Stand your ground but try not to kill unless you have to try to just disable them."
We needed to win, I wasn't leaving here without my mate and hopefully all my warriors.
They all charged towards us.
Claws and teeth flying all around us. My pack was trained very well and we were easily holding our own against them without injuries on either side, until there was no more awake wolves on their side.
"Alpha what do you want us to do now." Jack asks.
"Move towards the car do whatever you need to, to make it back to the cars."
They all start moving but then they notice I'm not going with them.
"Alpha?"
"I need to get into that building, you go now that is an order."
"Yes Alpha." Jack wasn't too happy about leaving me but even he couldn't disobey a direct order from his Alpha.
They all move towards the cars, once they have managed to make it to the covering of the trees I turn and focus on getting to my mate.
I open the door and walk down a corridor, I stop as I can hear two male voices up ahead.
I sneak closer and closer and look around the corner as much as I can. There are two wolves stood at either side of a what looks like a very strong wooden door. I run towards them as quick as I can and within seconds I am on them. Their head whipped around just as I got to them. I quickly grabbed one of them and swung him around and grabbed him from behind and held his neck just like the guard from outside. The other wolf came at me and tried to punch me, with one arm I blocked the punch and threw one of my own, he ducked out of the way just in time. The wolf in my arms had stopped clawing at my arm so I knew he was out, I didn't have time to lower him nicely so I let him drop. Then it was just me and one guard. He came towards me again and he was throwing his arms and legs at me, but there was no skill I dodged everyone of them and threw a couple of punches to his gut enough to make him bend over and I sent my knee up to his face. He flew backwards and was sprawled out on the floor with a little bit of blood coming from his nose.
I try the door it is locked only one way to get in now and that was to rip the door off.
I use my strength and grab the handle and use my shoulder to barge into it, it comes away and and as the shower of splintered wood stop and look up and there she is more beautiful than I could have ever thought, she had long black hair that made her bright blue eyes shine even brighter as she looks at me.
"Mate." Comes out of my mouth.
She gasps. Then I notice she is tied down. My anger boils up but I knew I couldn't lose it right now I needed to get her out of here. I run over to the bed and rip the leather straps off her. I pick her up and she weighs hardly anything, I can feel her hard bones through her clothes.
I start walking back towards the now hole in the wall when I feel a pull. I look and see she is attached to drip. I lay her back down needing both of my hands to help her.
"This won't hurt." I tell her needing to comfort her as much as possible. I pick her back up and the smell of strawberries hits me again. I feel her relax a little and sink into me.
After a few minutes of walking I feel her getting more and more distressed so I stop.
"Don't worry my mate you are safe now, whoever did that to you will pay."
What I wasn't expecting was her reply, in such a sweet and soft voice she says
"It was Alpha Derek, he is an Alpha he will keep me from you." No one was going to keep her away from me. We say a few more words and carry on towards the cars. Then Jack is here asking me who I am carrying. I know I needed to tell him now.
"She is my mate and she needs to be protected at all costs until we get her back to our pack." He seems shocked but still replies with
"Yes Alpha."
We keep walking and I see my wolves fighting, I wanted to help them but I need to get her to safety.
Then I hear a loud voice telling me she is his and to put her down.
I put her down and place myself in front of her, as my anger boils up again she is no one's but mine.
I turn to face Derek and he is shocked it is me. I can see the fear on his face. He knows what me and my pack are capable of and now I am not just here with one other wolf.
" What are you doing with her."
"She is my mate." He now looks petrified.
" I am leaving with her do not try to stop me." I turn back around and pick her back up.
"This is not the end of this she is mine." As much as I wanted to turn around and rip his throat out, I don't I wanted my pack and my mate out safely.
I call all my warriors to me and we all get into the cars and back to our land, no one is hurt other than a few scratches and I my mate tucked up against me where no one was going to hurt her.
Feeling how much she was shaking while she was at the side of me made me worry.Was I doing the right thing? Is this what she wanted? But the more I thought about it, the more it just came down to me wanting her with me so that I can look after her, because looking at her you could tell she has not been taken care of in quite a while.I could feel her bones pressing into my skin as I held her. What were they doing to her? I wanted to ask her and find out but I wanted to give her some time before she answers the questions. I was also slightly hoping for her to trust me enough to tell me on her own.After a while of driving I knew she had fallen asleep she had completely relaxed against me and now I could hear a very faint snoring sound. It brought the corner of my lips up into a smile for the first time today.I look at the front of the car and see Jack looking in the mirror at us."What is it Jack?""I jus
LEXI'S POV I'm standing in the middle of the bedroom as Sawyer leaves and the door closes. I look around the beautiful room and see that all the furniture is made from a light brown wood and it all matches. The massive bed has a beautiful turquoise bed cover and about a hundred pillows. It looked so soft and I wanted to climb into it but I needed to be clean first. I walk to the bathroom and see the huge bath and a shower to the side. I couldn't wait to get in the bath I had never had one before my Grandma only had a shower in her house and I've only had a bucket since she died. I turn on the water and look at the bubble baths lined up on the side I pick them up and smell them one by one until I find the one I want vanilla. I fill the bathroom with steam and the scent of vanilla, once the bath is full enough I climb in and the water climbing up my body is fantastic, it is a little hot but my body soon adjusts. I lay there thi
SAWYER's POVAfter leaving Lexi in her room, walking out of that door was really difficult and I had to force myself to take each step. I wanted to be with her to look after her and to find out everything about her. However I knew that she needed some time to adjust to all of this and she wouldn't get that we if I didn't leave her alone.As I closed the door behind me I walk towards my office. As I'm walking I see Chloe walking past me."Chloe could you do me a favour?""Yes Alpha of course what can I do for you?""I would like for you to find some female clothes for me, she is only small maybe a size two at the most. Can you then take them to the room next to mine. Lexi is in there.""Yes of course Alpha." She starts to leave to do the job."Oh and please be patient with her she is very timid.""Yes Alpha of course I will do my best to help her in anything she needs or wants.""
LEXI'S POVHearing the doctor tell me that I wasn't pregnant was a huge relief. I never wanted to have Alpha Derek's and the Luna's baby to begin with and I never knew how I would feel or handle knowing I was that child mother and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it and I wouldn't get to see them and they would never know who I really was and that because of who I was in the pack I wouldn't get to do anything about it and that would have been the hardest thing in my life to ever do, not to be a part of my childs life.As soon as we heard the news I could feel the tension in Sawyer drain away. I wonder what he would have done if I were pregnant? I can't imagine that going over too well.After the visit with the doctor I was so much happier knowing I still had not had sex and that I was baby free. However he was concerned with my weight and I looked like I would need some more tests to make sure everything else was fine. I was told I needed to start eating
The next few days I just spend it in my room, enjoying the baths and the comfort of the bed. Food kept getting brought up to me and everytime it was the same girl and everytime Sawyer asked if I wanted to go for a walk today, but he never came up and talked to me himself. I don't know why I kept saying no as I didn't really want to be stuck in the room anymore and I didn't want to leave it on my own but something was stopping me from saying yes to him. Once more the soft knock was at the door. I go answer the door and there she is again with food on a tray. "Morning, some lovely choices for you today. Alpha also asked if you would like to go for a walk today?" I don't answer the question but ask her "What is your name if you don't mind me asking?" "Not at all my name is Chloe." I smile at her "That is a nice name, thank you again for the food." "Sorry if this is not my pla
SAWYER'S POVAfter hearing that she was still a virgin, well I didn't think I would be able to get much happier until I heard the words that she was also not pregnant. The huge relief washed through me. I looked at Lexi and could tell that she was also happy about this information. Most wolves stay a virgin until they find their mate, so that there is no jealousy and no fighting with other pack members when finding out who they had been with, also the thought of being with someone other than your mate doesn't appeal to most wolves.We still had a lot to talk about regarding this situation, but I knew she had already told me enough for now and that she would need some more time and be more ready to tell me anything else and for now this was enough.Walking back to the pack house with her I didn't want to disturb her I could see that she was taking all her surroundings in and that was including all the different sounds because whenever a new sound was made h
I mind link Jack and inform him of what has happened and he replies with "I will double the guards tonight and I will walk to the pack line myself now to make sure everything is good." I inform him to keep me updated. We walk back to the packhouse and as we are walking she seems to be putting more and more distance between us. Not too far away from the pack house I had, had enough. I wasn't going to let her pull away, we already had enough things to work out from everything in her past and the way I found her and the way Alpha Derek thought she was his, I wasn't letting something that isn't even an issue become one. I stop walking. "Lexi, let's talk. I don't want today to end like this. This has been one of the best days of my life and I don't want all that to be ruined from something that can be sorted out." "W..what do you want me to say?" "I want you to tell me what you are thinking and how you are feeling so that I can he
LEXI'S POVIn my bedroom alone once more, it felt a lot bigger this time, more lonely. After spending the day with Sawyer I wanted him with me even more than before.Hearing what Grandma Rose had to say did clear a lot of the things I was worried about Sawyer. He seems to be so sweet and kind but yet has the reputation of someone mean and cruel. It always baffles me how rumours can turn things completely upside down to the truth.Grandma Rose was lovely and I couldn't wait to go see her again. She was honest but not in a mean way but she made it funny somehow. Seeing someone of her age walk out of the door with bright pink hair like that shocked me. After you talk to her and get to know her a little you can tell the hair soots her personality down to a tee.Walking around the pack lands all day I felt some of my fear drain away. I was scared that everyone would look at me like dirt under their shoe and would 'accidently' bump into me and hurt me, bu
I wake up and I am instantly on guard as I feel myself tied up, then I realise I am not tied up at all but through the night my girl has decided to wrap herself around me. I smile and let the feeling of her around me sink in. I look at the clock and it is only just a little after four in the morning. After a while of just laying there I can feel her breathing change and I knew she was waking up. All of a sudden all her arms and legs move off me and I am left feeling cold. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to do that." She stutters to me. "I like that in your sleep you are more comfortable with me and that you want to cuddle with me. Never apologise for something I wanted to do to you all night." She looks up at me shocked. She slowly moves closer to me and rest once more at my side. I can feel how hesitant she is as she tries to put her arm over me so I meet her half way and place her arm there. "Let's get some more sleep it is still early and you must still be exhausted." She lets
Knowing that Jack was going to be ok was a huge relief, I made sure to find out how the rest of my pack was and luckily we hadn't lost any body in this fight. Me and Lexi walk hand in hand back to the pack house. As soon as we walk through the door Chloe comes running over and pulls Lexi in for a hug. "Thank the Goddess you are alright, never worry me like that again are you listening." It looked like Chloe was about to break her ribs with how tight she was hugging her. "Chloe do you mind not crushing her." Lexi chuckles and Chloe releases her. "Sorry I was just so worried about her." "I am fine, it was not me that was in danger." Lexi says Both me and Chloe snort at that. "Are you kidding me, you run off into the woods, into a fight between Alpha's and you think you wasn't in any danger? are you crazy?" Lexi looked to me like I am going to disagree with Chloe and side with her, but not this time. "Yes, you are in trouble for that still." She looks at me scared. Shit I fo
We pull away from each other. Sawyer doesn't look to happy about being stopped. The doctor with a little smile on his face says."Sorry for the interuption Alpha but I thought you would like me to inform you of the progress of Jack."He sits up straighter."Yes, yes of course.""Well the damage was bad, between all the cuts and the broken bones they will all heal. However they removed a couple of his fingers from his left hand and there is nothing I can do there." I could feel Sawyer tighten up at those words. He was angry now. The doctor carried on."Now he wouldn't have been in such a state but some of the cuts that were given to him, well they were done using silver." Sawyer gasped at that and if he was angry before it was nothing like what he was now."How dare they." He goes to stand up but I am in the way and I slightly fall off the bed. He grabs hold of me before I hit the ground and pulls me back up to t
I stood in the middle of the waiting area still in wolf form, not knowing how to get back into human form."Amanda do you know how?""Yes i am trying, but it isn't working we have used a lot of energy and we are not to full strength yet."This was great how long would we be stuck like this? We can't see Sawyer like this. We wait for what seems like forever but was probaby only about an hour, for the doctor to come out. He looks shocked when he walks out and see's us still sat there in wolf form. He then tells us"He is stable now. Most of his smaller cuts have healed already and the bigger ones will take a while but within a day he will be back to his normal self." That seems to do it as soon as we know he is ok I can feel the same sensation run through our bones and we lay on the ground in human form, completely naked."Oh my." Says one of the nurses, she runs over to us with a blanket and helps to wrap it around us so we wasn't showing ever
LEXI'S POVKnowing that Sawyer was leaving the pack lands and that he was going to be putting himself in danger made me torn with different emotions, I was scared as I didn't want anything to happen to him. Annoyed that he would put himself in danger especially when he was the Alpha and what would happen to his pack if something happened, then I was worried that if something did happen what would happen to me?I was trying not to worry about all this though, I had heard how great a fighter he was and how good this pack was at fighting from Grandma Rose. I had to believe that he was going to be OK.Chloe turns up not long after Sawyer leaves."Are you up for some company?" She asks"I don't know what kind of company I will be but yes please.""You have nothing to worry about, they will protect their Alpha at all costs."I could tell for the next few hours that Chloe was trying to keep my mind of it and to not be
"We knew you that you would come." Alpha Derek speaks."Your a petty man and a sorry excuse of an Alpha and I feel sorry for your pack and for you to drag the blood moon pack into this aswell. Well that makes you a bigger idiot than I already thought you were.""How dare you speak to me like this. You say all this after taken what is mine from my pack under her protest? What gives you the right?""You damn well know that she didn't come under protest and that she was clinging to me scared I would give her to you, she is my mate."They both gasped at that."Why didn't you tell me that she was his mate, we have done this to help you thinking you were in the right, where he had the right to his mate and her to him.""He is lying can't you tell, he is just saying it so that we don't kill him and take back what is mine." Alpha Derek says back. There was a pause before Alpha Chris responded."Well I
Now more than ever I wish that I wasn't the Alpha and that this wasn't my choice and my responsibility.I hated having to be the one to make the decisions when it causes or may cause harm to any of the members of my pack. How do you make the right decision? I couldn't let them three members of my pack be hurt especially when one of them is the beta and my best friend, but was it right for me to put so many of my pack in danger to get them back?Hald the decision was taken out of my hands anyway. None of my warriors would ever choose to leave anyone in enemy hands if they could do something about it to get them back.After leaving Lexi, I meet all my warriors out the front of the pack house."Thank you for all coming and on time. Now the plan, well it's not so much a plan but a wing it in the moment, which as you know is one of strengths. We couldn't plan much as we don't know actual numbers and if there still there. We will go in a
SAWYER'S POVGetting called away from Lexi was really annoying but at the end of the day I was the Alpha and I couldn't stop doing my duty just because I had found my mate no matter how much I wanted to.Jack had used the mind link to tell me that he had some information about the pack at the other side of us who we had also asked to see if we could come to some sort of agreement on a bit of land.I told him I would meet him in my office in about ten minutes as I had to make my way back inside form the garden. I get to my office and Jack is sat there at my desk waiting for me."Hi boss, took your time to get here, I hope you finally having some fun." He says with a smirk on his face. He was the only person that could talk to me like that without feeling my fist against his face."It was not like that and you know it.""Shame.""So you going to be a pain in my arse all afternoon or are you goin
