Elijah POVThe whole day, I couldn't think of anything other than Sally. My heart clenched with guilt over the fact that I have to leave her there. But I knew that if I tried to talk to Alpha Richard about her, then the sick bastard would probably use her to hurt me instead. He was always one of my biggest tormentors in school, and now as Alpha he had the power to bully anyone.He was the strongest wolf in this pack, so no one dared to challenge him.I tried to get through my chores as quickly as I could. Hopefully, I would be able to sneak down to the cell blocks during my lunch. When lunchtime came, I snuck out of the packhouse and went searching for her cell window. When I got closer, I heard her crying and I almost ran up to the window. I looked through the window and quickly drew back.There was someone in the cell with Sally. I peeked and saw Alpha Richard undressing her. Sally had her hands tied over her head and she was pleading with him to stop. Alpha Richard caressed he
Alpha Jordan POVSeething, I knocked on my Beta’s bedroom door.I could tell that he was in there, even though it was four in the afternoon."Christian dammit. If you don't open the door in the next three seconds I'm seriously coming in!" I called out.I heard shuffling, then Christian opened the door, shirtless, with a sheet wrapped around his hips..Behind Christian, I spotted a girl lying in the bed. I could tell by the smell exactly what they'd been up to, which enraged me even more."What’s up, Jordan?" Christian grinned and I sighed, internally cursing him.What would the punishment be for strangling my own Beta? "The warrior briefings? Ring a bell?" I raised my eyebrows.I was hoping to get some kind of realization from Christian, but he just chuckled. "Oh yeah. When's that again?"I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose."Two hours ago."Christian's eyes widened."Oh really? Sorry dude, I lost track of time."I resisted the urge to punch him in the face."If it wa
George POV"I went to Fallman Lake to meet up with Alex and then we came here."I concluded my story about how I ended up here. During the whole time I talked, I wouldn't dare to look at him. I was afraid of his reaction and that he might just throw Alex and myself out of his pack despite his promise to me. After I stopped talking, the room was filled with silence. From the corner of my eye, I could see Alpha Jordan lean back in his chair. "The way I see it, you were faced with an impossible choice. Either you take the blame for killing Tommy and risking not only your own life, but the life of your mate as well, or you let your sister take the blame. Sounds to me like she made the decision herself, did she not?"I shrugged."I guess. I just felt like it's all my fault. If I hadn't pulled Alex into the alley in the first place this would never have happened."Alpha Jordan smiled."You're not the first person to be tempted by the mate bond. It goes against every instinct not to act
Sally POVWe reached the bridge that headed into town. I had hidden my backpack under a large rock by the river that flowed underneath it. When I came back up to the road I checked that nothing was missing. Everything had been left untouched while I was gone, so all the cash was still there. I heaved a sigh of relief.I looked at Elijah and nodded. "All good." I chirped. “My brother Luke gave me some cash to start over. I have tried to save them the best I could. Maybe we could use it as a down payment on an apartment or something."Great." He smiled, showing some dimples in his chin. My stomach did somersaults. I really liked his smile. We were in such a serious situation, and we still weren’t out of danger, so I haven’t really seen him smile much this far. His smile faded and was replaced with a worried expression. "When I sever the ties to the pack, does it hurt much?"I led him to a patch of grass by the side of the road and pushed him down on his knees. I kneeled in front of
Sally POVThe sound of Elijah`s paws thundering against the ground and the warmth of his body was very soothing. I struggled to keep my eyes open and lean my head on his neck. It didn't take long until we reached a small town and Elijah came to a halt. I slid off his back and pulled out the map, trying to locate where we were. “I think we can stop here for the night.”Elijah shifted back and studied the map. That's when I realized that he was still naked. I gasped and turned around. “Aren’t you used to nudity? Weren’t the wolves in your pack naked after they shifted?” Elijah laughed.I gulped and cleared my throat.“Umm- not really. That pack is as stiff as they come. Everything was very conservative and nudity wasn't something that was encouraged. That sight should only be for your mate.” I explained. I felt his hand on my shoulder and knew that he was standing right behind me. “But I am your mate.” He whispered in my ear. His husky voice made my core clench. Dear Goddess,
Sally POVWow. Who knew that my mate was such a sweet-talker?My heart filled with warmth and I put my head on his chest to hide the blush that crept up on my cheeks.Goddess, why did I have to blush all the time?“I would really like that.” I said quietly into his jacket. “Thank you for getting me out of that cell.”“My pleasure.”Elijah patted me on the head. “I have questions too.” I whispered. He chuckled. “Shoot!”I sat up and traced my fingers over his face.“Why would you risk your life and leave everything behind to become a Rogue? I know that I’m your mate and that would motivate you, but still, you did it without an ounce of hesitation. Why?”Elijah looked down in his lap and fell silent. I waited for a while.“I’m sorry Sally. You are so strong and you deserve a strong mate. I will probably be a huge disappointment now.”I frowned, but before I could say anything, Elijah continued. “My father is the Gamma of the Midnight Pack. He is this strong and fearless warrior. He
George POVThe whole drive to Adona Forest I felt like vomiting. What if Luke turned around and walked away the second he saw me? What if the possible alliance was destroyed before it was even created because I was there. I didn’t want to fail my pack and Alpha Jordan because of my past. “Did you tell them that I would be coming?” I asked Alpha Jordan.Alpha Jordan shook his head. “No. I just told him that I’ll be bringing my Beta and some warriors to secure the perimeter.”We reached a clearing, thick pine trees surrounding us on all sides. We were traveling in two cars, six warriors accompanying us on this trip. When we stepped out of the cars, we noticed that Alpha Hudson was already there with a group of warriors. My heart skipped a beat when I saw that Luke was among them. Luke’s eyes widened when he saw me. Before anyone could say anything he started walking towards me and pulled me into a tight hug. The hug surprised me. I half expected him to punch me in the face, but I
Joe POVI was tasked with finding Sally and bringing her back to the Blue Eclipse Pack. As the pack’s head warrior I put together a team to go with me. I had heard a lot of gruesome stories about the Midnight Pack, and I feared that the only thing I’d take home with me was Sally’s dead body. George and Alpha Jordan had told me what she had been through, and I have to say that I pitied her. She was 18 years old, convicted of a crime she didn't commit and sentenced to a punishment worse than death.The journey to the Midnight Pack didn’t take long. After all, we shared a border between our pack lands. When we reached the pack border the border patrol waved us through. They knew we were coming.The Midnight pack was located in the middle of a dense forest and the only road in and out by car was long and narrow with tight curves and many hills. When we reached the packhouse I almost felt a little carsick. Alpha Richard greeted us at the front door and showed us to his office. “I was su
