Brandon still didn't understand why I was pulling him out of the alliance, or even where we were going for that matter. Also tagging along was Toby, at first I questioned him but he said Morgan told him he should go for emotional support for me. I didn't think I would need any of that, but it was nice that he could come along and not be stuck in the alliance all day. It wasn't really day anymore, so I knew by the time we arrived at the lake it would be dark, not only that, but around the same time Morgan found me there all those years ago.
"Did you live anywhere near the lake that Morgan found you at?" Brandon asks from beside me, Toby was sat in the back with a blindfold on."No, I actually can't remember where I used to live or what pack I was from, but no Richard did what he did to me than dumped me there" I explain turning the headlights to the car on, I was trying to rush over there so it wouldn't be too dark out."I never knew the story like that,It was 4am the next morning, when Morgan saw the letter last night he was as shocked as me. Once I explained what I thought was happening, he couldn't see any other explanation and agreed with me. I had a busy day ahead of me, me and Brandon were going over to see Peter in hospital. He actually asked Lukas to get me to go and visit him, he said that he has some major information that he just knows will help us find Richard. After we talk to Peter, we're heading to where I think Ricard is gonna go next. This meant my day was starting this early, who knows when I'll be able to come home after all of this. I go over to Toby, placing a soft kiss on his head while putting the note I've left for him on my pillow. He stays in my room now, everyone in our team knows about us being mates and kind of overlooks it. They don't know about me being marked though, I make sure to wear scarfs or high necked tops to cover it. I do my final checks of the room, making sure I have ev
I hated being in hospitals, it just brings back horrible memories of when I woke up after Richard attacked me. I didn't remember a thing about who I was, or what even happened. I would hear the doctors and staff at the alliance discus what I was gonna happen to me, no one knew for sure where they should put me. Thankfully, Morgan came to the rescue for the second time, he said that he would look after me until I remembered more. That never happened so I stayed with him until I was old enough to train, as you already know. Brandon and I follow the nice nurse through the halls, she was walking rather quickly passed all the hurt people. All of them would send me a wave as I went by, I send one back before hurriedly still following the nurse. After a few more turns we arrive at a door, Brandon stood insanely out of breath as he stood beside me. She knocks on the door opening it slightly, while I just look around the hospital something feeling a little off. "Peter, yo
The pack members were so happy that I went to watch them, they would all stop and ask me how I thought they did. I was even able to give them a few tips on how I like to do things, their training and the way we train back at the alliance isn't that different. While there Morgan rang me, he asked how things were going and why it took so long for us to arrive at the pack. I explained about the tree and the new information we learnt, I also told him about what Brandon was doing and he even agreed with me on that. I was now sitting on a wall watching everyone, they would all wave over to me as I cheer when they got something right. It was nice to be sat out here, I haven't been able to just sit outside in the sun and relax. Let's be honest, I never really have time to do this at all. There was still so much that I was undecided upon, now I'm marked I need to be with Toby, not that I was thinking of leaving him anyway. I can't imagine my life without being an alliance agent, bu
Brandon and I were now racing to the no territory, he still wasn't sure about all this but once again, this was the only option. We didn't have much time to get this done, we needed to be clear of this place so we'll get to the place I know Richard will strike in time. Brandon was also unsure how I knew that, but I just felt it in my gut. I told Morgan we're gonna go check the building out quickly, without telling him where exactly it was, let's hope he doesn't find out about this.We'd just passed Crescent Moon Pack, when we fall upon the no territory. You can just tell by the mood and darkness of this place, many packs have attempted to take this place over, but have failed miserably. I pull up on the side of the road, where an open field stood surrounded by a bunch of trees, from the map I knew this was the place. I stare at the field in front for me, from a distance this place just looked normal, it's the things hiding in the shadows that make dangerous. "I st
Brandon and I stood in the house for a few seconds, there was a line of people acting like a barrier preventing us from leaving. I make sure my weapon was of easy access before walking towards the non-existent door, Brandon close behind me. Once I step outside all eyes move to me, I knew they were trying their hardest to be intimidating, but were failing miserably. "Oh I didn't know the no territory zone has a welcome committee" I sarcastically say looking at all their angry expression "now if you don't mind, we're leaving" I smile walking forward and pushing passed a guy, who was shocked to say the least. I glance down at my watch and realise that we only have 15 minutes to get to our next stop, we really don't have time to sit with these people. Another line of people block my exit once again, I roll my eyes turning back to the group who were right behind me, but also blocked by a line of people behind them. What's with these people! "I'm sorry, but n
I've never seen Brandon drive like this before, he was zipping us around corners so quickly that I thought the car would tip over. I didn't complain though, because of the annoying rouges back at that place, we were about two minutes late. I know that didn't seem like that many minutes, but when it comes to Richard, every minute counts. I didn't have a clue what we're about to pull into, but also I did have a little suspicion, yes I know I'm contradicting myself there. Over the years we've become familiar with the way in which Richard likes to operate, but there's been times when he's just hit the ball so far out of the park that we have no idea where it came from. Take for instance the threats on Lukas, when we learnt that he was operating outside his normal location between the two packs, we were absolutely stumped on what the heck was going on. It's now we know what we know, the picture has become more clearer over time. Hopefully my assumptions about his next steps are
Half an hour later, I was sat on the step of a medic van after getting looked at. The medic had wrapped up my hand that was cut with the glass, apparently I was lucky that I dropped the piece of glass when I did. They also gave me some oxygen to help me stop coughing, even though I told them I didn't want or need it. I look around the car park of the factory, people were still trying to put the fire out but you could tell they were struggling. Why is it that people either want to attack me or set a building I enter on fire? Do I just have that effect on people? Brandon was talking on the phone with Morgan which left me alone for a little awhile, Morgan was on his way but kept being held up by the director or other agents needing him to sign things. I soon remember the note that was in my back pocket, I hadn't had a chance to read it yet. I stand up slightly pulling the little note out, it read "Dearest Taylor, I just knew you'd be able to figure out what I was planning on doing ne
I woke up in bed a little disorientated and mega confused, I remember driving home in the car with Morgan and then that's it. My normal brain starts to work telling me I probably fell asleep and instead of waking me up, I was carried here to bed. I look over and see Toby fast asleep beside, I was so busy yesterday that I didn't get to see him even once. This is just a glimpse of what life's gonna be like if I decide to stay here, unknowing of the next time I'll get to see my mate.I little sigh escapes my lips as I sit up slightly, rubbing my eyes I turn to the clock, seriously it's 2am! Why can't I have a normal sleep schedule?! I debate whether to try and fall back to sleep, but something sitting on the floor catches my eye. The black rucksack from Richards was sitting on the ground, who would have carried that in from the boot? I even forgot it was there if I'm being honest.I carefully and slowly move Toby's hand from around me, once I was free I slide out of b
We pull into the alliance with Richard in the back, we didn't even have to stop at the gate as it was already open. The guard at the door sends me a clap as I drove in, I guess the news of us finally catching Richard has got out. Lukas was sat beside me in the same blindfold, but the smile could still be seen on his face. "I can hear everyone's so happy that you've caught him" he smiles as I round the corner to our section, everyone still clapping as we went by. "We caught him, I wouldn't have been able to do it without your help" I smile pulling the car up in the parking space, I get out the car thanking the people that would congratulate me as I went by. I open Richards door unclipping his seatbelt, he hadn't said a word since I placed him in the back. But he follows where I pull him to also get out the car, I than go around and help Lukas to get out of the car and lead them both into the building. Once we were inside, Lukas was able to take the blind
The metal stairs creaked under our feet as we climbed them, maybe having two of us walking up them at the same time wasn't the brightest of idea's. In no time my hair began to blow in the wind as we climbed higher, maybe I should have brought a hair band of some kind. We soon take the last step and were standing on the roof, but it appeared to be only us on this roof. We walk away from the stairs slightly and look around, there isn't anywhere he could be hiding on this place! "We know he has to be here due to the note" I say holding the note in the air looking around, I couldn't help the bad feeling that was growing inside of me. "Or he's just done this to mess with us, why is the man that is supposed to be my father like this?!" Lukas asks throwing his arms in the air in frustration, I just sigh looking out into the distance where I actually see the pack house in Toby's pack, I didn't know we were this close to that place. "Now you may see why I left y
Neither of us spoke on the car ride to the warehouse, the vibe in the car was tense and anxious over the next moments ahead. In a few short hours, this whole situation with Richard could come to an end or take an even bigger shift and turn no one is expecting. In my mind I was going over the plan and everything that we knew, which helped me not to worry over the little details. From all the letters Richard has been sending me, we know he has some kind of care towards me so I don't think I need to worry about him surprise attacking us. But I also know how much Richard goes over things, he could have been coming up with this plan from the start and wants me to feel comfortable, then he'll attack. What was keeping me even more calm were three things, how close Toby's pack was to the warehouse, the fact Brandon and the team would be watching our every move and finally, the fact I had Lukas with me. If I had to do this all by myself I don't think I would have agreed so quickly, but with h
I was soon walking back into the main room with the information that I knew, a lot had changed for me while I was in that room but nothing had in here. Toby and Julian were still having a screaming match in the middle of the room. Brandon was sat at his laptop but sends me a look when I walk in, while Lukas was sat with a blank face watching the two guys in front of him. My eyes go to Toby where I could just tell by his face, if he could he would have shifted by now. I sigh making my way over to the middle of the room, moving past Morgan to stand in front of Toby blocking his view of Julian. "I think we all need to calm down, how is any of this helping to catch Richard?" I ask placing my back against Toby while walking backwards, slowly he was walking back with me "while you two were comparing penis sizes, I was doing work with the help of Brandon" I say having to really push hard on Toby, after the penis comment he didn't want to move. "You don't need to compare, you already know
I walk back into the living area where Brandon was sat on the chest of drawers, I know he just heard the whole conversation I had with my mother as he opens his arms up. I walk over accepting the hug thanking him. "What you said back there was all true, she deserves to be put away for hiding Richard" he tells me giving me one last squeeze before we both pull away, I nod my head agreeing with him while the Alpha walks in the room with my mother, also closing the door. Before I had the time to walk over to see what he was doing, Julian runs out from wherever he was holding a piece of paper in his hands. Without speaking, I'm handed this mystery paper. It read. "Dearest Taylor, Once again, I know you're so close to finding everything out so you'll find this no problem. Now you know about my secret identity and your mother and me marrying, I know I'll soon be caught. You're so kind that I know you might allow me this, before I'm willing
"Get on the ground!" I shout as she takes even more slow steps out of the room, her eyes go to me where she immediately, starts to well up. "Taylor" she says starting to cry as she went, I've had enough of people crying when they see me so this wasn't bothering me anymore. "I said get on the ground" I repeat walking closer to her, she finally does listen and drops down to her knees full blown crying. Brandon runs in the room behind her to check if Richard is in there, but he soon runs back out shaking his head. As he was still behind my mum, he cuffs her hands behind her back before pushing her down to the floor. "He isn't in any of the other rooms either"Julian says from behind me, either he wasn't home and we just picked a bad time or he saw us and fled, I needed to know which one is was. "Where's Richard?" I ask pulling her to stand up, she was still in floods of tears shaking her head "I don't care how upset you are, we need to k
When I walk back into the main room, it was pure chaos. Brandon and Julian were running around working, Morgan was shouting down the phone at whoever knows who and the two guys looked as though they were gonna puke. I stand on one of the tables and throw a box of files on the floor, it landed which a thud which did make all eyes turn to look at me. "This room is starting to resemble the lunch hall and we all know how much I despise that place, I know we have so much work to do but let's not go crazy!" I exclaim as Morgan hangs up the phone, I guess that person is having a little break from all the screaming."We've been trying to track down Charles Peterson or even Venessa Peterson, but we can't find any record of them on any high tech computers" Morgan tells me still standing behind his desk, what I had to work out was how I'm going to be able to get off this table without injuring myself, I didn't think this plan through."That's because you're looking
"I will answer anything you ask me" he says as I open the file on Richard, this could be the closet we'll get to catching him, I know I keep saying that."Do you know anywhere we could find him, we know about his place in no territory but is there anywhere else?" I ask pulling the photos Brandon took of that building, before all the rouges turned up and caused trouble. "I rarely had any contact with Richard throughout the years, I always went through Denton to keep who I was hidden from Richard" he tells me which wasn't great, all the things he's gonna tell me might be what Denton has already told us since being here "but once you guys caught Denton, I knew I'd have to do my own research on Richard so I know he wouldn't turn against us" he says successfully peaking my interest, he might be useful after all. Brandon is amazing at his job and can find things that no one else can, but when it comes to criminals sometimes they're able to hide some things tha
I was now making my way back into the alliance building, having to drag two very hungover men with me. Both still in blindfolds, but I knew they kind of enjoyed the fact they didn't have to look at the sun. We decided it would be better to stay at the pack last night, the party didn't end until maybe 4am and both Toby and Lukas were completely hammered. But it did give me a chance to see Toby's house and pick out some clothes for me when I visit there. We're making plans for me to stay there but I still don't know what I'm gonna do at this place, I wish there was a way for me to continue to be an alliance agent and stay at Toby's pack. "Our pack" he groans pulling the blindfold off now we're in the building, Lukas keeps his on and tells me just to lead him to the main room. I just laugh a little leading both guys into the main room, where the team where already waiting for us in there. Both guys just walk over to the back of the room, Lukas forgetting to take his
