Kaylee povGetting up on my feet again I wrap my arms around my stomach with the pain I feel it hurts to move forward, but I have to.I hear a lot of barking behind me, and they are still moving closer this way. I have to move forward as fast as I can and try to follow her trace. My wolf starts to sniff the way she came from, and it doesn't take long until she picks up a trace after the woman, and I start to follow it.I'm only in my underwear right now, and I try to take one leg before the other while my wolf keeps sniffing, and make sure to not lose the trace when there is a wolf howling behind me, and it sounds like it has moved closer to where I am.Halting in my track when I hear some more howling, my heart starts to beat faster in my chest, afraid they have found a trace of her and will catch up with her soon. I have no other option than to move forward faster."They are coming closer, you need to run," my wolf says when I start to pick up my pace and walk faster through some th
Kaylee povI can tell by the hand over my mouth and the other that is wrapped around my shoulders that it is a woman and not a man. I feel calmer and hope it's the woman who found me before when she turns me around and gestures to me to keep silent.When I see it's her, I let out the breath I was holding in, and she grabs my arm with hers and starts to lead me another way through the forest. I get this feeling we are walking in circles when she stops and listens several times before we suddenly come closer to the edge of the forest and in front of us is a house."I hope it's enough and they won't be able to track us here, we will stay here tonight, and tomorrow I can take you to the city or wherever you want to go," she says, starting to move with me towards the house. I don't know why she is helping me, but I'm grateful for everything. I know they would probably have found me by now if it wasn't for her.Walking in silence I feel cold and exhausted when we make our way closer to the
Kaylee povPlacing the chart in the pockets of my pants, I will decide about them later on. I thought they were lost, but this gives me another way."Thank you," I say when I see her take a seat by my side."What are they for?" She asks me when I turn my head and look down on my lap. I'm not ready to tell her the truth about them just yet."Some pain killers," I lie when I see her start to place food on her plate before pouring something to drink into her glass."Are you in pain now? Hasn't your wolf healed you?" She asks me while I start to place some food on my plate."No, not now" is the only thing I come to think of as an answer when I feel her eyes on me, but she doesn't say anything else."Do you live here by yourself?" I ask her and try to get the focus away from me."No, I have a daughter as well. She is at a sleepover with her best friends," she says, and I turn my head to look at her."Do you have a mate then?" I ask her when she only shrugs her shoulders and continues to ea
Aron povLooking at the clothes Dane pulled up on the shore, I know she took them off by herself. She is trying to escape and has placed them in the water on purpose. She thinks she can get away from me, but no one has ever been able to escape me before."What do you think?" Dane asks me when we shift and look over at the other side of the river."She's alive and took them off and placed them back in the water," I state while picking up the clothes and taking a closer look at them."I'm guessing it as well, but I never thought she would be so brave and jump from the cliff right into the wild river," he says, and what I saw in her eyes before she jumped was fear and determination.From the moment I saw her in my guards arms, I took her as small and fragile, even in my cell she never showed me any strength or fighting spirit. She was nothing else but weak in my eyes, but on the cliff she was different."What did the folder say about her? Or did they describe his daughter and not her?" I
Kaylee povI couldn't give her an answer yesterday to her question without telling her I'm pregnant and I want to keep that a secret for now. If the wrong person finds out about my pregnancy, I'm not sure what they will do, sell the information to him, or do they have any connection to my old pack and will turn me over to them?I have to face the truth!I'm alone since the day I was forced to do this, I can't trust Heidi or anyone else for now. She helped me get away and hide from them, but who knows what she will do once she finds out the truth?I know the fetus might not even have survived, and I have to somehow find a doctor to check it out. Someone who won't ask me any questions or tell anyone else. If it's still alive, I have to make a decision about what I'm going to do with it.The pills I have hid in the room I'm hiding in a safe place, hoping no one will find them until I know what I'm doing with them."Kaylee, are you ready?" I hear Heidi shout from down the stairs, and I'm q
Kaylee povHearing Liz walk around the car when she comes to stop beside us."Oh, I'm fine. Just not used to travel in a car," I say to Heidi, trying to sound convincing. I haven't been in a car more than a handful of times, but I have no problem going in one."Where have you been hiding all your life?" Liz asks, and I hear how curious she sounds in her voice."I worked in the pack house, didn't have much time for anything else." I just state when she grabs my arm in hers and starts to pull me with her."Oh, you have a lot to learn, girl," she says when I turn my head to look over my shoulder and see Heidi have started to walk behind us."I don't think you are qualified to teach her a thing, or she will end up like you," Heidi says when I glance over at Liz and she stops to look at her."Yes, and I'm perfect," Liz says before she starts walking again, and I see Heidi roll her eyes in response."Yeah, right you are," Heidi says in a low voice from behind when Liz just keeps pulling me w
Heidi povI know I need to look further into her, and once Frederic has walked up the stairs with her, I head over to the kitchen, hearing Liz walk after me. I know she has tons of questions right now, and she doesn't wait until we are inside before she starts."Where did you find her, where does she come from, and what has she been put through?" She spills all the questions at once while I push the door open to the kitchen and walk inside. She walks right after me when I head over to look through the fridge and see what needs to be prepared right away."Stop hiding the secrets and spill," Liz says to my back when I write down the first thing they have to start prepping, while I know I need to look into something before I can get back here.Feeling her hand on my upper arm when she starts to pull on it."Heidi!" she says impatiently when I write down the last thing I need them to start doing."I found her yesterday out in the woods with a big problem at her hands," I tell her, and plac
Aron povIt took time to find the trace at some parts. It's clear that the one who is helping her knows these woods and how to mask their trace.I have never come across a rogue before who knows this, it makes me wonder who it is."Aron, there is a house over here!" Bryan mind links when my wolf is quick to turn around and run over to where he is.Reaching the tree line I see a clearing where a smaller house is standing, behind it there are some buildings that look to be more houses, but they aren't completed yet. Bryan stands by the tree line and looks right at the house when I stop beside him."What do you think about it?" Bryan mind links while my wolf is sniffing in the air for any trace. It's here they went, and a small trace of her scent lingers on the ground."They have been here, let's search it closer." I mind link him before we head over to the house, trying not to make any sound while we approach the house from the side and walk closer to the porch.Her scent gets a bit stro
Kaylee pov. I hear footsteps walking down the hallway when I shoot my eyes open and look up in the ceiling, it's all lit up, and looking at the clock it's early morning already. My brain suddenly registers a familiar scent, and it takes a few seconds before I shoot right up in bed and look around me. It's his scent, but why is it in here? I can't recognize where it comes from and starts to sniff in the air when I realize it's close to my body. Lifting the covers to my nose, I can feel his scent clearly on it and drop the covers right at once. Running out of bed, I look at the covers and pillow while trying to process how this can be before I'm grabbing one off the pillows and placing it to my nose. Taking a deep breath on it, his scent is strong on it as well, and none of it makes sense. I'm sure his scent wasn't on it when I got to sleep last night. There is a knock on the door while I'm still standing with the pillow in my hand, trying to figure this out. The door is opened whe
Alora pov When he finally lets go, he shakes off Jeffrey's hand and takes a step further back. It's clear he is battling his wolf right now, and I know I shouldn't push him any further. Taking a deep breath to get some much needed air into my system, it takes a few seconds for me to be alright again. This behavior is not like Aron at all, and it's clear how close this is for him to lose it completely. "You need to be gentle with her," I plead instead when he turns back to me. "She is a werewolf, nudity is normal," he barks, and it's clear he doesn't see it the way I am. "Aron," I say and look at him, trying to have him calm down a bit before continuing when he places his arms over his chest, but he still has his angry aura surrounding him. "She is young, hasn't even shifted, and her whole life she has worked as an omega in their pack house. We don't even know if she has seen anyone naked before, but I can guarantee you no male has probably ever seen her naked," I say as calm
Alora pov I hate to ask this of my mate, but I need the blood samples if I'm going to get a clear picture over all this. I know how exhausted he is, can feel it through the bond even if he tries to hide it from me. "Can't you send someone else to get them? I know you are exhausted," I say to him and look at his tired expression for a bit. I know he is the best one for the job, but I would rather have him rest than get what I need. "It's too important to send anyone else, we might only get one shot at this, and I'm not leaving it to anyone else." He says before I see him try to smile at me, it's no point when I know how bad he needs the sleep and not to mention the worry he has for Aron. It's going to take a lot from us all if it becomes as hard as it did the last time. "Why don't you sleep first, and we can come up with the best plan for this in the morning when you're not as exhausted?" I try to get some sense into him, didn't lay this on him only to place him right in danger. "
Kaylee pov His hot breath is fanning over my lips, and I hold my breath, just want him to let me go while the warmth from his close body seeps into mine. I'm starting to get hot in places I have never felt before, it's strange why my body is reacting this way. "Please, let me go." I whisper out to him while pushing the bond back. There is only one thought going around in my head, I need to escape this place and him. "Don't test me, Mate! Or I'm taking what's rightfully mine." He growls close to my lips, and a shiver runs through my body before he suddenly drops his hold on me and simply walks out of the room and into his. When the door shuts closed with a bang I shrug back and quickly bend to the floor and pick up the towel, wrapping it hard around me while my legs are still shaking. Anger is bubbling up inside my body and I have to breathe deeply to try and calm myself. "Why don't you let it out instead of holding it in?" Zina finally says, and I take a deep breath of relief
Dane pov Looking at his bloody back I know what turn he is about to take and none of us wants to go down that path again. I don't know how to stop it, but we have to try. There can't be a repeat of last time. "Aron, that's enough. I will take it from here." I mind link him when he gives the unconscious guy on the floor one last blow and blood spurts over his already covered body. I know there is no point in pushing him when it comes to this, or it might be the last straw before he is pushed over to the point where there isn't a return. We can only stand to the side and look at him until he is done and walks out of the cells without saying a single word to any of us, and I just hope he will stay alone in his room for the rest of the night. "Do what you can for him tonight, and if he doesn't make it, let me know in the morning," I tell two of the guards before walking out of the cells to look at the other rogues before I'm heading over to search for Alora. It has been a couple of lo
Kaylee pov I try to scan the room and find out where his voice comes from, but it takes a second for my eyes to adjust, and once they have I see him sitting in the dark corner with his eyes looking right at me. Holding the towel closer to me I stand in my place, I'm not going to do as he says. I've got nothing on me underneath, and I don't understand why he wants me to take it off. "Drop the towel," he growls, threatening and I instantly start to tremble slightly on my hands. I'm sure he is still angry from before. "Zina," I say to my wolf. I can't reach her this time either and all I want is to have her with me. It's comforting just knowing she is there, but she is out of reach. The lights are suddenly turned on, and I see him sitting back in the armchair with his eyes locked on me. He isn't covered in blood any longer and has put on black pants and a black shirt. His eyes are glued to me, and even if it's Aron I'm looking at right now and not his wolf, they are still full of ra
Kaylee pov He starts to walk closer to where I'm standing, and I back up against the door with my back. I can't get any further away than this when he starts to growl at me. For every step closer, he makes my lungs squeeze in my chest, making me have a hard time breathing. "What are you doing in here?" He says stopping in front of me. His tall frame is caging me in, and I'm trying to keep calm. There isn't anything I can say that will save this situation I'm in. "Answer me," he booms out, and I jump in my place at the sound of his angry voice, praying he will let me go. "I just..." I start to say, but I don't have any excuse for being in here. "You just what?" He booms at me when I'm not continuing to speak. He places his hand on the door and leans over me. His rage is washing over me, making me sweat. I don't know how to get out of this situation. "Aron..." I manage to whisper when the door to his room flies open and footsteps are quick inside the room. "Dane wants you down th
Kaylee pov It has been several days since I was brought here, I haven't been outside this room since that day, when Alora took me down to eat breakfast. That has to have been at least four days ago, haven't seen her since. That was the last day I even saw Aron in the room when he told me I had to eat everything they brought me. After that day, I haven't heard anyone enter his room, and no one has talked about the food I'm leaving on the tray every time they bring me too much. I don't care where he is or what he is doing, but staying inside this room is driving me crazy. I can't go out into the hallway because there are always guards standing out there, making sure I'm not leaving this room. "Kaylee, this isn't a good idea." Zina says to me when I have placed my hand on the handle of the door that leads into his room, I'm not even sure why I want to go in there besides I'm bored. "He hasn't been here for days, there won't be a problem," I reassure my wolf before soundlessly openin
Kaylee pov I'm not moving from my seat and averting my eyes when he comes closer to where we are, hear him stopping in front of the table. "Relax, Aron, we are only eating" Alora says calmly, not sure he will be good with that answer. "She is not allowed to leave the room, and here I'm informed you took her out!" He booms and I can feel his anger radiate over to where I'm sitting. I don't want to face his wrath I'm sure it's going to come. "We are still in the pack house, just down in the kitchen with the guards and I have made sure there is no one else beside us. She is safe here with me." Alora tries again, but it's clear he won't have it when he leans forward and places his hands on the table. "Don't try me, Alora! I will punish anyone that goes against my orders," he booms out when I hear more footsteps coming from the hallway in a rush. "Aron, take it easy," I hear Dane say when he comes rushing inside the kitchen. "Stay out of this Dane," I hear Aron growl, threatening hi
