Chapter 2 - Planning

Sally POV

At 6 o'clock the same night we met Alex at a local bar. The funny thing is that hanging out with humans was totally cool with the pack rules, but mating with one would basically be unforgivable. I have to say that I never really agreed with that and thought it was hypocritical.

George and I were sitting next to each other with Alex on the opposite side of the table. I could see the longing in both of their eyes. The mate bond caused an insane attraction to the mate and even if it was felt ten times more for werewolves, I could tell that Alex was seriously in love with my brother.

Alex seemed like a really nice guy. He was 28 years old, tall with dark hair and broad shoulders. He worked as a doctor in the local health center. I wanted to become a doctor too, and I would love to pick his brain about anything and everything.

I just hoped that I would get the chance someday.

"So, here's the plan." George started." Alex needs to go first. You're human so no one will notice that you are leaving. I still have to pass by werewolf guards patrolling the forest around town. They will pick up my scent immediately so I need to have an excuse for leaving or sneak by them somehow. I was hoping you could help me there Sally."

I nodded.

"I know Tate that works in the patrol. I used to date him last year, but we never really hit it off and just kind of friendzoned each other instead. I'm thinking that George and I could go in my car, and I'll tell Tate that I want to go to Fallman Lake and collect soil samples for a biology project. Fallman lake is outside the pack territory, so there won't be any wolves that could stop us. You could meet up by the Lake and then go by car to the Blue Eclipse pack."

"Soil samples?" Alex raised his eyebrows.

George started laughing.

"If anyone would sneak out of pack territory to collect mud, it's Sally."

I laughed too.

“I'm a huge science nerd and I'm kinda known for it, so no one will question it. They'll just think I'm weird like always.”

Alex joined in on the laughter, but quickly became serious again.

"Sounds like a plan. I will be able to pack some more things than you. If you show up with a lot of luggage no one will believe it. Maybe you can bring a bag over to my work tomorrow morning if you want me to take that with me."

We spent some more time at the bar going through the plan. I felt happy for them that they'd be going to a place where they could be happy together, but it also meant that I wouldn't see my brother for a long time.

We got up and left the bar. I felt really uneasy about the whole situation. Leaving your pack was really bad. It was unnatural for werewolves to do that and we could be severely punished for trying to sneak George and Alex out of pack territory so they could join another pack. Add George and Alex's mate bond in the mix and they will most likely kill all of us.

George suddenly pulled Alex into an alley. I looked around to make sure no one was watching and then followed them, only to find George and Alex making out.

"Guys, cut it out. Someone could see you." I hissed.

None of them answered me and I let out a frustrated groan.

I understood. The mate bond was magical and it was almost impossible to resist the attraction. I've seen several pack members meeting their mate and being crazy in love. I haven't met my mate yet, so I haven't experienced it for myself.

Right now was not the time for this though. Especially since the sky darkened and a few drops of rain started to come down on us.

"Guys" I hissed again and then I heard someone laugh behind me.

George and Alex froze and I turned around.

Tommy was standing in the alley watching us. He was Alpha Hudson's very obnoxious cousin who thought that just because he had Alpha blood that he was better than anyone else. He was the class bully in high school and had been bullying Luke for being "just a Beta". Not even Hudson liked him particularly.

And now he caught George and Alex kissing.

"Isn't this fun? Two faggots sneaking with their love. And you" He pointed at me. "came to watch the show or what?"

I was racking my brain to come up with an excuse, but couldn't come up with a good explanation that could save all three of us from this situation.

"I take full responsibility for this." George stepped forward. "I will face Alpha Hudson for this."

Tommy sneered.

"And you would just kiss a human guy and then take responsibility for it? Who is he, your mate?"

Tommy bursted out laughing again. George narrowed his eyes and I had a feeling that he had to hold himself back from punching Tommy in the face.

Tommy stopped laughing.

"Seriously? That human filth is your mate? Since he doesn't look too foreign to the word mate I'm guessing that he knows what you are. Am I Right, Georgie Boy?"

George balled his fist at his sides and took another step forward.

"If you touch him, I will kill you."

Tommy cackled.

"Do you think that you're any match for me, Beta?"

They both moved at once and pounced on each other. Alex stepped away to avoid getting caught in the crossfire while I jumped into the fight trying to get Tommy off of George.

Tommy pinned George to the ground and when he raised his hand to strike I saw his claws extend. I grabbed Tommys raised hand and held on for dear life.

"Stop!" I yelled.

Tommy snapped his head in my direction and got up from the ground. I raised my hand to strike him, but he sliced my arm with his claws making me cry out in pain and let go of his arm entirely. Tommy grabbed my hair that had gotten wet from the rain and slammed my head into a dumpster.

My vision blurred and I fell to the ground with a groan. I heard someone scream beside me and I blinked rapidly to clear my vision.

I staggered to my feet and noticed that Tommy was lying face down on the ground. George was standing beside him, trembling like a leaf.

"I-I think I killed him." He stammered.
