Bethany and Alex were staring at me like I had committed a sin. I try to find an excuse to make up. I stood to my feet, "come on," I rolled my eyes, "you are the alpha everybody is going to meet you we are both like the leading heads of this pack, if we both leave for some business trip, what do you think anyone is going to say ? we need a leader so I can't leave and you will leave at the same time." I was speaking so fast I had to pause to pause to gasp for breath. "Don't worry if you really want to take a vacation as a family, I will plan it properly."Alex was looking into my idea and seeing things from my point of view until Bethany cut in with her loose mouth, "don't worry I will take care of the pack, I'm strong enough to do that," she shrugged," besides I just returned and you guys have had all the work on your shoulders, it's only right that I do it.""No you think you might be able to manage a pack but there are a lot of things that have changed around here now especially wit
"You didn't tell me that your mate would be showing up." Ryan did not seem pleased to see Alex." YouNeed to stop referring to him as my mate, his name is Alex." I turned to look at Alex but before I could say anything, he beat me to it "Is this why you didn't want me to come?""It's not like that I already invited Ryan and then you decided you wanted to come, and I didn't think that both of you would want to travel together."Well I will be on my way. I don't see any need for me to be your companion. Have a great day." Ryan turned to leave. It was going to ruin everything that I had planned because I was thinking it was time to make up for what I had done in the past."I wasn't going to be traveling with you anyways." I yelled At Alex,"Are you kidding? What goes with on inside of your head?" I retorted."Excuse me!" Elena suddenly interrupted us, "you guys are forgetting that this is my trip and not some vacation."The look of disappointment on Alex's face. It was enough to make
Stacey povI walked past the flyers that we had seen angling for the last few months now."come on Gavin You can't keep doing this, mom."Handling my son was harder than anything I'd done in a while and we were working our asses off until I became a home mon, just so that I could take care of him.I wondered why they were bringing the case back to life. It had been since two years now that they talked about the missing girl.Gavin was crying in my hand. So I had to lift him and pick up the flyer. "Oh my God." My eyes went wide in amusement when I saw what was written on the flyer,I squeezed the flyer into my bag and hurriedly headed home.Casper had a lot of clients waiting for him to help them with their furniture. He was a multitasker, to be honest. He was a Carpenter and he still worked as a barman. Sometimes he helped people with music, and then he was a trainer at a gym nearby, he was making enough money to tend to our basic needs, but it was not enough and I felt guilty just be
Ryan and I decided to go to the bathroom so fresh in ourselves up."Oh my goodness. You have no idea how much I have missed a bath tub." I said, stepping into the tub after I took my clothes off. I tried my best not to wince at the pain that was still on my shoulder. Ryan was quiet, but that was OK. "Well, are you going to come in with me or what? " I asked him I let my hair down, my hair had grown way longer than it used to be, grown down boat now and feeling like so much work. The water activated my cuels, causing it to press against my skin, and I sighed in relief. I needed that. After all the work walking that we had been through during the journey. Ryan was standing in front of the mirror and I had to draw my eyebrows. "Is something wrong! You seem like a thinking about something .""Yeah," his voice came out blankly. "It’s just that this was the last memory I have of us. You and I in the bathroom before everything went South. ""Oh." I blurted out. "Let us stop tiptoeing ar
I texted Stacy back. “So now we wait on what she would say.” “ I do not get it.” Elena was looking at me kike I had gone crazy. “ why ado you seem so excited to meet this woman? who exactly is she?” "You wouldn’t understand. Oh my Goddess, I feel so glad." Rgan on the other hand, had not said anything to me. He just stayed there on his seat. "Aren’t you excited to see someone from the pack? At least they didn’t hurt you. They helped you...I should stop talking now. "But how is meeting Stacy supposed to help me find my identity?" Elena asked, and that was something that Ryan supported because I noticed him folding his arms across his chest "OK, I admit it’s not, but still, I haven’t seen any event. I miss my chance to catch up with my friends. I have been stuck in that place for, like, forever. And just like you were worried about me, who knows, maybe she thought I was dead." I sighed, "I promise you immediately we will leave that place And I’ll try to find anything that will he
"You don't even know how to make things simple and less suspicious. Do you have to let them know that you were ...." I started to scold Ryan as soon as we were alone in his room."I was what? Fucking you?""Oh my goddess, can you just shut it. You are being such an emotional freak right now." I rolled my eyes. That didn't stop him from wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me closer to him. "Trying so hard not to touch you, but you're so you're irresistible. Like, why do you have to be so pretty? So good . And what did you do to your ass? It looks so much bigger than it used to be." Ibid my blush from him, lowering my fazemI did workout during my time there and it helped truthfully. "Do you think I'm being harsh on Elena? She can't stay here she cannot survive on her own. And what are even the chances that she's from around here, I mean. She looks very American but that's, just about it. She could be literally from any race lookingor tribe. Like there is no specific thing tha
I noticed the look of terror that was plastered on Elena's face. It was clear she wasn't expecting this and Stacey seemed to note how uncomfortable we suddenly seemed and grabbed me by the arm, "could you guys excuse us for a moment?" She led me into their bedroom. I hadn't got the time to digest all of it in yet but the rooms were mostly a gold themed one with hardly any furniture. It was simple and perfect for a couple."What is going on?' I asked her once we were finally away from the rest and in the privacy of her bedroom."Nadeline, you just keep growing the questions I have for you." She pointed at the door as if it was Elena, "there's literally a search going on for her and whoever brings her back gets fucking rich."I folded my arms across my chest, raising one eyebrow in suspicion, "why?'"Her parents are bastard rich, I'm guessing she got lost in an accident and they had been trying to get her ever since." She seemed to have just relaxed and become conscious of her environme
I felt his hands feeling my face and shaking me awake. When I finally brought my eyes open, I was laying on the floor, he knelt down over me, my legs between his knees."Alpha Ryan?"I called confusedly, trying to figure out what had happened or gone wrong."Where are we?" I sat upright. His hands were still cupping my cheeks as I drew myself upwards."She gone." He simply said and I didn't need a professional to tell me that he was taking about Elena.Every ounce of did omfort immediately left my body as I jerked to my feet, trying to piece what had happened."Shit." I looked directly into his eyes and held his hands that were on my cheeks. I jerked to my feet and he moved aside just in time. "Where are we?" I asked again, looking around me consciously."It looks like a yard?" Ryan suggested."Where were you when you woke up?""I was sprawled across the floor, Stacey could not brought us here on her own so I'm going to assume she got help from her partner." The way he sounded so unph
