Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Artemis P.O.V

I woke up 3 hours ago and is currently 11:00 and I'm waiting for everyone to fall asleep. At 11:30 I placed my plan into action. I opened the balcony window and climbed out. I looked down to make sure no one was walking around then I tied the rope I made out of the sheets to the railing and started climbing down. I was two stories down and I can't risk getting injured. While I was climbing down I saw an open window on the first floor.

'How can you sleep with your window open? Won't that attract thieves?' I thought with a smirk. I climbed through the window to see it's a girl's room. To my luck she was dead asleep. I quietly searched the room to see if I can find anything that would be of use to me.

'She has alot of jewelry I'm sure she wouldn't miss one.' I thought when I found a whole draw full of jewelry. I also took a pair of clothes from her closet even though I know they'll be a bit tight on me cuz she's obviously not my size.

I jumped out the window and quietly started to run to the border. I wasn't very far when I remembered that they took my bike. 'Shit.' I thought. I walked back to the pack house in search of the garage. I finally found it and to my surprise the door was open.

'Seriously don't these people know how to lock doors?' I thought to myself. As the door opened I quickly searched for my bike. I finally found it covered in a white cloth.

Not wanted to wake anyone I brought the bike half way to the border before starting it. 'That was easy' I thought getting on my bike. 'Too easy. Aren't these people supposed to have the best security system?' shrugging the thought off I drove to the border. The feel the wind blowing through my hair comforted me so much that I didn't notice the delicious scent as I reached the border.

Suddenly alpha Elijah appeared out of nowhere infront of me. Resisting my urge to hit him I quickly pressed on the break coming to an abrupt stop. "Are you trying to get me in trouble for hitting you?" I said glaring up at him only to see him glaring back. 'How could I have not sense this trap? It was too easy. Maybe I'm too laid back' I thought.

Then I was surrounded by border patrol. "Jared! Hey." I said recognizing the guy I knocked out.

"It's Blake and I gotta say, for a little lady you sure hit hard." He said referring to when I knocked him out earlier.

"Your name is Blake? Really? You look like a Jared or a Justin." I said nervously cracking a smile.

"Leave!" Elijah said shocking me. 'I can leave?' I thought to myself while I watched the border patrol walk back to their posts.

"Really? I can leave? Thanks so much you're such an understanding person and not the rude asswipe I pegged you to be. It was nice knowing yah." I said getting on my bike an starting it.

"You come with me." He said narrowing his eyes at me. 'Oh so much for being understanding and kind.' I followed him back to the pack houses because as I said it's useless fighting with him.

Making sure I wouldn't try to run he grabbed my hand. Sparks danced where he touched making him drop my hand. Then he grabbed my hand again seeming to ignore the sparks. I struggled to keep up with his long strides resulting in him dragging me.

'Rude much.' I thought. Suddenly I ran into a wall. "Oww!" I screamed holding my nose. 'It's ok. It's not broken. Or crooked.' I thought. Glaring up at the wall I realized it's not a wall but actually alpha Elijah's back.

Looking around I realized we stopped in front of an unfamiliar door. "This isn't my room." I pointed out.

"I can't trust that you won't try to run away again. From now on you'll be staying in the room beside mine. Be luckily you have your own room." He finished when he saw I was about to protest.

"I wasn't gonna say anything. Now if you don't mind I'd like to get settled in my prison. I meant room." I said walking around him and opening the door. Before he could say anything I shut the door.

Hearing him walk away I pulled out my phone. I quickly dialed Jeremy's number. It rang a few times before Rose picked up.

"Hey Rose is Jeremy around?"

"Hey Art. Yeah he's around. Let me go get him." I heard shuffling around and a few whispers before Jeremy answered the phone.

"Hey Artie. What's up? I hope you're on your way because that kid of yours is raining chaos here." Jeremy said with slight frustration in his voice. 'Guess he hadn't had much time for a little fun.' I thought with a smirk.

"No I'm not on my way. I can't leave." I said.

"What? Why? Are they holding you hostage? Hold on a minute so I can send a team to come get you." Jeremy said sounding angry.

"No wait. I'm ok. I have to stay because my mate is here."

"What? Good for you Artie! Rose! Art found her mate!" I heard Jeremy yelled to Rose. 'It seems they're happier about me finding him than I am.' I thought.

"Wait does that mean you can't work for me anymore?" Jeremy asked after a second. I haven't thought of it that way.

"Ofcourse I'll still work for your stupid ass." I said.

"Oh! Well I'm glad you'll still be working with us." Jeremy said with a sigh of relief.

"It would be really unprofessional if I didn't. After all I am one of the best. Plus I need my ego back because it was attacked today" I said trying to sound sad.

"Also can you bring K.C. here? I miss her already." I added.

"Thank God." I heard Jeremy said sigh of relief.

"What's wrong? Haven't been able to have any fun Jeremy?" I asked with a smirk. Then I heard a crash in the background.

"What the hell..." Jeremy trailed off. "I gotta go Artie. Looks like Kylie decided to join K.C. little rebel group."

"How is that little rebel by the way?" I asked

"She's perfectly fine and raining chaos with her partner in crime."

I chuckled. "Okay bye Jeremy. See yah soon."

"Yeah bye. You'll see me if I don't go mad from frustration. Or go bald from pulling my hair out." Jeremy said with a groan.

"Wish I could see this go down!" I laughed hanging up the phone. Now we wait.

Hopefully I won't have to wait long.
