On the run
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Mary turns the corner running at top speed, “Come on, I need a place to hide” she thinks to herself.
Behind her she can hear the pounding footsteps of the two men chasing after her. “Why did I have to stop in that restaurant, I didn’t need food that badly.” She thought to herself.“Come on little lady, we just want to play.” One of the men yells out.”“Yeah, play” chuckles the other one.Mary picks up her speed and turns another corner looking behind her to make sure they haven’t caught up yet.“Ouch” Mary spams into something solid and nearly falls to the ground, but a strong hand grabs her and keeps her from falling.“Oh my god they caught me” Mary thinks in a panic and tries to pull away.“Hey, it’s okay, I am not going to hurt you.” The voice is deep and rough and Mary feels a chill run through her body. She looks up and finds herself looking into the bluest eyes she has ever seen.“I am sorry for running into you” she says while trying to catch her breath. “ There are two men chasing me and I need to escape while I can”. Mary can’t believe she just said this to this man, this stranger, he could be with them, or who knows he could be worse. After all Mary has seen nothing good in the male race so far in her 17 and a half years. Something tells her she can trust this man, but she is still unsure what or why.“It’s okay love, no one will lay a hand on you while I am around.” This man’s voice was amazing, Mary felt every inch of her body shiver, it was if he held a heat that her body didn’t know it was missing. He radiated warmth and strength, and had a level of confidence she had not seen before.“Hey buddy, get your hands off her, she’s ours” the taller of the two guys that had been chasing Mary said as they both rounded the corner finally catching up.The man gently moved Mary behind him and smiled at her before turning to the two men.“I can assure you, she does not belong to you, and you will never lay a finger on her. You two should rethink your plan and go home before you regret it.”Mary can only stare at this man’s back as he confronts these two men set on doing god knows what to her.“There are two of them and only one of him” she thinks to herself. “What can he do to stop them? I should run while I can.”The shorter of the two men laughs, “George, hear that? We should go home, without our pirize? Who the hell does this guy think he is?”“Dummy, no names remember?” The tall man … George apparently blurts out angrily. “Now we have to kill them both so there is no witness to id us you moron.”“Ah shit man,” the short one replies “ I”’m sorry, I forgot. But we were going kill her anyway so what’s one more?” He retorts.George laughs, “yeah I guess you’re right”.The two men pull out weapons chuckling to each other. George pulled out a switch blade and the short one pulled out a gun.“What you think you’re going to do to stop us?” The short one practically coos at the man trying to save Mary.Mary slowly backs away preparing to run again. There is no way this man can take them both on, especially when one of them has a gun.“I don’t wanna die” Mary thinks to herself shaking in fear.The man removes his jacket, neatly folds it and places it on a crate side him. He then removes his shirt revealing a muscle bound body covered in the most beautiful tattoos.“Run now” Mary thinks to herself but finds herself unable to move. This man is so beautiful and she finds herself wanting to touch him.Mary’s trance is broken when the man starts walking towards the two men threatening them.“I did warn you, I did give you the chance to walk away” the man said calmly.Then to Mary’s horror she watched as the beautiful man began to change… his body sprouting hair everywhere and claws appearing where moments ago his long strong fingers were.Mary screamed and turned and ran away.As she ran she heard a gunshot and then another. She heard the two men screaming and crying and as they realized too late that they were in fact no match for this thing.Mary ran as fast as she could and didn’t dare to look behind her. “Oh my god, I thought he was safe. What the hell was he? What if he finds me? I have to hide, I have to get away from here.”Mary ran until she couldn’t run anymore. Mary had always been able to run longer and faster than anyone in her foster homes and never really got tired, so it said something that she had run to the point she had exhausted herself. When she finally felt she was far enough away and should be safe, she found a shelter and melted into the sea of homeless unwanted people, hoping to never see any of those men again..Related chapters
Most unlikely mate Mate
Damon’s povI was just leaving the local human bar after a meeting with some other pack alphas. There has been trouble with rouges and all the packs decided to have a meeting at a neutral location. I was walking down an alley towards my car happy that a pact had been made to work together to rid the area of rouges when around the corner came a little wisp of a girl. She crashed into me and I barely had time to catch her before she fell to the ground. The instant I touched her, I felt my skin tingle and the second I caught a whiff of her scent my wolf screamed out “our mate!”It took everything in me to restrain my wolf and I tried to calm this beautiful little creature that was fated to be mine. When the two men who had the nerve to even think about harming my mate turned the corner i wanted so badly to tear them to pieces, but there were rules and hurting humans was against those rules. Everything happened so quickly, i put my mate behind me to protect her and warned the men to g
Most unlikely mate Vanished
“It’s been 3 days. I am healed, I need to find her” My beta Greg didn’t believe me when I said I found my mate in a human village of all places.“Damon, I understand you want find her, “Greg pleaded,” but what good will you be to her or anyone if you are not 100%? Besides, I have sent people out looking based on your description of her and no one has come up with anything. Mind you a better description would be helpful, small beautiful, blonde, blue eyes and smells like vanilla and honey doesn’t really narrow it down.” Greg chuckles.“I don’t see the humour in this!” I can’t believe he doesn’t understand how important this is to me.“Do you have any idea how important she is to me? I am already up against it being such a young alpha, and then not having a mate? Finding her will make such a difference and will help make our pack more powerful and united.” “I know that” Greg admits,” and honestly I agree having a mate will help, but your pack backs you and knows you had no choice but
Most unlikely mate Hiding
Mary povI have been hiding out in this shelter for 3 days now. No sign of the man that turned into some sort of monster. I have spent the last few days trying to figure it out. My instincts about people are usually bang on, but my instincts were telling me I was safe with that man when clearly that wasn’t the case. Now I am not sure if I can trust myself to know who’s good or bad, and living on the streets on the run that is a very important ability to have. “Why did I ever go into that restaurant “ I mumble to myself not for the first time. “Mary, if you plan to stay another night you need to join group” Kristen says. Kristen is the head of the shelter and has it in her head that if we as a group talk about our lives and problems we can get past them and make better lives for ourselves.. sure like that’s gonna work. I roll my eyes and get up to follow her to group, after all it isn’t like I have anywhere else I can go tonight. “Ok ladies and gentlemen, today I want some new voic
Most unlikely mate Frustration
Damon’s pov“Come on man, we have been searching for hours.” Greg complains. “Can we please go home and start up again tomorrow?”“Not yet, there are still two more shelters in the area, I have to make sure she isn’t in one of them.” I say quietly. “What makes you think she’s in a shelter? Maybe she has a home and is safe and sound inside it, while we run around shelter to shelter looking for a ghost.” Greg argues.A loud growl escapes me.“She is out here somewhere, I know it and I will find her.” I state firmly. Part of me is trying to convince myself as much as I am Greg, after all, I didn’t even get her name. “Fine, I will go check this one out… wait here, you get too pushy and make people nervous.” Greg gets out of the car and walks towards one of the last shelters that maybe be housing my mate.Greg knocks on the door a few times before a tall thin lady probably in her mid 30”s opens the door just enough to ask what he wants.I overhear Greg telling some ridiculous story that
Most unlikely mate Escape
Mary’s pov“Good morning Mary” Kristen says when I walk out of the bathroom.“Morning “ I mumble. I barely managed to get any sleep and while I know I have to get moving on to a new town as far away as I can get, I would like nothing more than to curl back up and get a few hours sleep first. “Breakfast is in the kitchen, get it while it’s hot.” Kristen smiled and walked into the common room area.I will never understand how she does it. Every day she cooks, counsels, comforts, houses and protects 50-70 kids with a wide variety of problems. She never gets crabby(at least not that I have seen over the last few years when I have stayed here), and she never makes you feel like you have overstayed your welcome. I know if the situation were different, I could probably stay here for a month or more as long as I was willing to participate in group and work on myself. “Stop stalling” I say to myself.I go into the kitchen and eat until my stomach feels like it might bust (might be a few days
Most unlikely mate Searching
Damon’s pov“Come on Greg let’s go,” I am impatient and ready to get back out looking for my mate.“Alright, I’m ready… let’s go.” Greg says. I am sure he has a million other things he can be doing , but he is a good beta and is humouring my need to find my mate.We drive back to the shelter we ended with last night.“Damon, she might not be here you know?” Greg said calmly.“I have to know” I respond.It is morning and people are coming and going from the shelter freely. “Clearly she only locks it down at night so it should be easier to find out if anyone has seen her.” I say hopefully. Greg shrugs his shoulders.I get out of the car and walk up to a young man who looks like he is going through some serious drug withdrawals. “Hey bud, can I ask you a question?” I ask using my most friendly voice.The kid looks like he’s about to run. “Ummm what do you want, I got nothing on me I swear cop…” he says nervously.“Me? A cop?” I laugh wholeheartedly, that has to be a first. “Do I honestl
Most unlikely mate Alone
Mary’s povI walk all day staying off the road as much as I can for fear the man will find me. I don’t understand why he would be looking for me, and I really don’t understand why I get so screwed up when he’s around? My ability goes to shit and a part of me wants to run and jump into his arms.“How friggen crazy is that? He turns into some sort of monster and I want to run and jump into his arms? Apparently I suddenly have some sort of death wish!” I yell to the sky as though someone up there can answer.At around 4:30 that afternoon I come to a small town that consists of maybe 1 store, 1 restaurant, 1 liquor store, and 50 houses… I am so hungry I decide to try my luck at panhandling outside the store. Lucky for me an elderly couple feels sorry for me and hands me a $20 when they are leaving the store. I thank them repeatedly and make my way to the little diner/restaurant.Inside it is dimly lit and looks like it hasn’t seen an update since the 60’s. It has worn red leather booths a
Most unlikely mate Home
Mary’s povLast night had to be one of my top 3 nights ever. After a delicious dinner of the best bacon cheeseburger, fries with gravy, chocolate milkshake and apple crumble dessert, I helped flora (the old lady told me her mother was a lover of flowers hence the name). We cleaned up the diner, she introduced me to the cook (her nephew) Phil, a 48 year old man who came to work at the family run diner straight out of high school and never left. Flora found me some clothes that fit reasonably well and once I was changed she took all my dirty clothes (my whole 3 outfits) and washed them for me while showing me how to operate the machine so I could do it myself next time. She then showed me how to work the dishwasher, and the milkshake machine. The “dinner crowd” came in ( maybe 10 people, mostly older couples), and I helped flora take orders and deliver orders to the tables. By the end of the night I was tired, but flying high having met so many people, and learned so many new things.

Most unlikely mate First night
After dinner Damon led Mary out of the dining room. They went down the hall to his office. Once inside Damon shut the door. He walked over to where Mary was standing and took her face in his hands. He tilted her face up and leaned down and kissed her. It was Mary’s first real kiss. It took the breath right out of her. His lips were soft yet firm, and sweet. He slid his tongue into her mouth and she nervously kissed him back. She felt fireworks going off all over her body as he pulled her closer to him. She put her arms around his neck and grabbed a handful of his beautiful hair.‘What am I doing? I barely know him?’ She thought briefly. Her desire to be near him and be touched by him won out over any reservations she had. Damon broke the kiss and began kissing her neck making Mary moan. He gently bit her neck right above her collarbone. “That is where is will mark you” he growled making Mary wet between her legs. She was floored by her body’s reaction to this man. She had never felt
Most unlikely mate Adjusting
The dining room was enormous. It was more like a ballroom or large restaurant than a regular dining room. Damon led Mary to the front of the room where there was a long table that overlooked the rest of the room. Damon and Mary sat at the middle of the table. A few minutes later Greg came in and sat beside Damon. Mary watched as people slowed came in and sat down at tables. Some of the faces looked familiar from the meeting a short while ago, some were new faces. People spoke among themselves and some greeted each other upon arrival. This was truly a close knit community and Mary was equally impressed and nervous. How was she going to fit in with people who have known each other their whole lives. Damon silently reached over and held Mary’s hand. Mary laughed to herself remembering that he could feel her nervousness. She looked at him as he spoke to Greg. He was a beautiful man. His strong features, his thick rich perfect hair. Skin looked smooth and soft. She couldn’t believe som
Most unlikely mate Blinders off
As they enter the double doors of the hall Damon looks at Mary. “You ready to meet the pack?”“Meet the pack? Now?” Mary asked nervously.“It will be fine, I will be with you the whole time.” Damon took Mary’s hand and led her into a large room full of people.They walked hand in hand up to the front of the room, climbed the few steps to the stage and went to the center of the stage. “Good day, goddess bless you.” Damon said calmly and kindly.“Goddess be with you.” The pack returned in unison.“I want to introduce you to my mate, your future Luna, Mary.” Damon said with pride pulling Mary as close to him as he could. Mary looked around the room. Some people were smiling and Mary could feel their instant acceptance of her…. But there were a few who did not seem at all happy with her presence beside the alpha. A few of them radiated anger and if looks could kill Mary would be dead. Mary swallowed hard and mustered as much courage as she could. •Hi everyone, nice to meet you.” She sa
Most unlikely mate Wonder
Damon leads Mary out the front door and they turn right. They follow a beautifully landscaped pathway which leads them to a street. Mary looks up and down the street and sees beautiful homes all well maintained… “not one is overgrown or run down!” Mary marvels.“We pride ourselves on ensuring our home is welcoming, clean and maintained. Littering is unacceptable and letting your house fall into disrepair is as well. We are a community and if one needs help with upkeep or repair all they have to do is ask, so there is no excuse for letting things go.” Damon says this with such pride and love, Mary can see and feel his love for his community and people. Her respect for him grows more and more.As they walk down the street passing homes, they pass by people that love in the community. Damon introduces them as they go, but Mary knows she will never remember all the names. “Don’t worry little love,” Damon whispers to her “the names will come with time, no one expects you to remember them

After Mary”s things were all put away she followed Sarah down stairs. The house was so big it was more like a palace. As they walked down the stairs Sarah pointed out where her room was.“If you need me anytime, you just come knock on my door ok? Sarah said kindly.Mary nodded her head happy to have a friend. And she could feel it. Sarah truly wanted to be her friend. Mary felt like she was walking on clouds she was so excited.They continued down to the main floor where Sarah took Mary down a hallway. They passed set of double doors that Sarah explained housed the library. They passed a glass wall where she could clearly see an enormous gym on the other side of the glass. There were lots of people in there so Mary quickly walked by trying not to attract any attention.They then came up to a door near the end of the hall. Sarah knocked on the door and then opened it.“Alpha, we are here.” Sarah said loudly.What does she mean alpha? What the heck is an alpha? Mary thought to herself.
Most unlikely mate Pack house
Greg drove for what felt like hours. Mary stared out the window trying to keep track of exactly what roads they took, just in case.Damon watched Mary spellbound.“You are gonna love the pack.” Greg offered. He smiled in the rear view mirror. Mary looked and briefly smiled back. She didn’t know what to think or say. Her head was spinning and going a million miles at a time. ‘What am I doing? Why am I agreeing to this? Am I crazy? I don’t even know these people…they could be serial killers for all I know, and here I am willingly getting in a car with them, packing up my only home and leaving with them!’Greg finally turns a corner and heads down a long driveway. “We are here.” Damon says calmly. Mary watches as they pull up to the biggest house she has ever seen. As soon as the car stops the door is opened by a young girl. “Welcome home alpha, beta.” The girl says happily. She looks at Mary and smiles. “Hi! My name is Sarah. Welcome to the pack. Can I show you to your room?” Sarah
Most unlikely mate Goodbyes
“I will come with you, but I have to leave flora and Phil a note at very least. I owe them that much and more for everything they have done for me.” Mary says to Damon.“You write them a note and pack your things. I will call the pack house and have a room made up for you. Greg is waiting in the car I will get him and he can help load your stuff in the trunk.” Damon smiles and puts his hand on Mary’s shoulder.“Pack my stuff? But I can’t just leave for good…this is my home.” Mary feels panic setting in at the thought of abandoning the wonderful people who took her in and treated her so well.“Love, I know you feel like you owe these people, and maybe you do, but I promise you, when you first turn it is going to be painful and you do not want them around for that. You are doing them a favour. Once you adjust, if you want to come back, it will be up to you, but I promise you, I will make sure they have help and won’t hurt for money for all they have done for my mate.”Mary knew he was b
Most unlikely mate Disbelief
Mary came to and found herself lying on her bed.“Take it slow” Damon said softly “you almost hit your head.” Mary looked at Damon. ‘He looks confused!, what does he have to be confused about?’ She thought.“What? Why do you look confused? Excuse me if I haven’t seen men turn into wolves before, excuse me for not knowing that there are things out there that look human but are actually animals in disguise. How in the heck was I supposed know that?” Mary huffed angrily.Damon tilted his head slightly,” not just wolves you know.” “What? Why do you mean not just wolves? What else is there?” Mary looked at Damon as though he was truly insane.“Well vampires, witches, warlocks and elves… mind you most of them are almost extinct except for those damn vampires… those ones just multiply quicker than we can exterminate them.”Mary laughed and laughed. “Oh and my fairy-godmother is going to swoop in and turn me into a princess to right?” She shook her head… ‘he really must be crazy” she thought
Most unlikely mate Proof
Mary brings the two cups of tea to the table and sits down across from Damon. “Okay, I am going to tell you the truth, but I need you to please, please listen to the whole story and try your absolute hardest to keep an open mind.” Damon says looking Mary in the eyes trying to get a read on what she’s thinking.Mary nods her head in agreement. “Okay, go ahead.” “I wasn’t lying when I said I turned into a wolf… I do. It”s not like you think though. My wolf is always wake inside me and sometimes I let him come forth. The night those guys were after you, I honestly just wanted to protect you… I only reacted when they attacked. If they had of just run away I would never have hurt them. There are rules, and wolves are not allowed to attack humans… I could get my pack in massive trouble if I did that.”“Your pack?”Mary interrupted “ so there are more of you?”“Yes my pack, and yes there are many more like me… there are many packs. Truth be told, between the 4 packs in the surrounding areas
