As we clear the gate, I chance one last look at the pack that was meant to be our home, but now it is a place I just want to forget
I’m not sure how long we drive before Emmet finally pulls over into the parking lot of a small diner. Mom seems to be doing better, but she still looks drained. I know she’s strong, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t suffering the pain of a broken bond. A young woman who is hopelessly flirting with my brother shows us to a booth. I swear he’s oblivious.
At least one of my brother’s is keeping his vow to wait for his mate
“So, I think we should stay away from packs. As soon as Alpha Robert realizes we’re gone, he will alert the other packs that the future Luna of the
Black Rose is missing,” Emmett says
“Do you really think he’ll do that? Won’t he have to tell them exactly why I left? I can’t imagine other wolves would agree with what they were trying to make me do. Just the force marking alone is against werewolf law.” Emmett growls low, and!
cough to coverup the sound. “Emmett, you’re going to need to keep Brayer from growling around the humans.”
He nods just as the waitress sets our food down in front of us. “Can I get you anything else handsome,” she asks. “No, thank you” he says. I almost feel bad as her smile falters before she makes her way back toward the counter
“I think the answer to your question is yes, Rosalyn. If Robert was encouraging Reese to force himself on you, I don’t think it’s a stretch he would lie to the other Alphas about the reason you’re missing. Your brother is right. We need to stay in a human city. We can find a place to stay and get jobs for now,” my mother says.
She grips my hand across the table. “We will stay safe together.”
Reese POV
It has been two hours since Cain took Rosie home. Fallon and I are both on edge. We need to see Rosie. Goddess, I wish she would let me hold her again. I miss having her in my arms.
I look down at Bryce. He’s been asleep since Rosie left. His face is almost completely healed. I hate that Fallon attacked him, but he needs to understand that Rosie is our true mate. A true Alpha wolf needs their fated mate not only for strength but for strong pups
Bryce and I have been together for almost two years and a part of me will always love him, but I need Rosie. If I have to choose, it will be her hands down. She is perfect. The goddess couldn’t have picked a better mate for me. She is beautiful, strong, and kind.
I was hopeful when my father came up with the plan of having them both they would agree, but I knew in my heart that Rosie wouldn’t
“Need to see our mate now” Fallon growls. I slip out of the room and down the long hallway that leads outside. I shift not caring that I shred my clothes. It only takes us ten minutes to reach the Beta house. I shift back, grabbing a pair of basketball shorts from behind the tree we used to climb as pups.
I’m on the porch in three long strides
I knock a few times before I try the handle. When the door opens, a pit forms in my stomach. The house is eerily quiet. I make my way through the house and stop dead when I see Cain leaning against the wall in the dining room. He looks like he is barely hanging on.
When his eyes meet mine, I know she gone. She left me. Fallon pushes forward, and he starts to break everything in our path
When I finally manage to take back control, I stare down at a man that has been like a second father to me. “What the f**k happened?” “Miranda drugged me. She broke our bond. They are gone, my family is gone” he says, sounding broken.
I link my father. “What do you mean they’re gone? Why the f**k was she out of the cells, Reese?” “Dad, that isn’t important right now. We need to find them.
I can’t lose my mate.”
He breaks the link with me. He taps into the pack link, alerting every available tracker and warrior that the future Luna has been taken. Howls sound throughout the pack. “Take yourself to the infirmary. You’re of no use to me or the pack like this.
If you want to find your mate, pull yourself together. I have to bring my Luna home,” I say making my way back out of the house. We will find you, Rosalyn
Bryce POV
My eyes flutter open, and I’m disappointed when I realize I’m alone
Reese’s scent is faint, which means he has been gone for a while. I never expected everything to go to sh*t so quickly. I knew Rosalyn would eventually find out about us. When I realized that Rosalyn was mated to the man that I’ve loved since I was sixteen, I was angry. I couldn’t understand how the goddess could get it so wrong
The night that Reese claimed Rosalyn at her party killed me. I know it’s not Rosalyn’s fault, but seeing her touch him and claim him made my blood boil. I couldn’t stop the anger that took root inside of me, knowing she was going to bear his mark. The sister that I once protected and loved had become the only thing that stood between me and Reese
