I packed up all my things which aren't much, just the clothes on me and a necklace that I have had since I was a baby.
"Sigh." "It's time."
Running out of the pack house I mind linked for Lilly to come outside of course she was ragging made when she had to listen to me.
"What the fuck do you want!?" "It better be good or you're going to be in so much trouble."
"Yes this will be worth it for you Lilly I promise." "First off I am the Alpha's mate so I am supposed to be your Luna but of course I don't mind if you have him because he's such an ass hole I would never want to be with him ever." "Second." "Do you even know what he has been doing behind your back?" "I am guessing not otherwise you wouldn't be with him or maybe that's not what you really want." "Third." "You killed my pup, it was the Alphas pup and I am not going to let you off the hook for killing my pup."
"Alpha Blake is the most amazing Alpha he would never do something like that and you never had his pup you are just trying to get my spot as Luna and that will never happen."
"I didn't expect you to believe me but either way you are going to pay for killing my pup."
I lunged at Lilly with a knife cutting her uterus open.
"Doesn't matter how much your wolf tries to heal you, this knife has a wolf span in it so you will never be able to have Alphas pups." "Good luck getting the Alpha to claim you as his Luna, a wolf who can't produce any pups."
I drop the knife on the ground. I watch as Lilly falls to the ground, tears falling out of her eyes. I grab her chin to make her look at me.
"Now why are you so sad?" "You brought this on yourself, you should have never messed with my pup." "I will let you do as you wish for I have to get going." "I don't plan on staying here to be hurt anymore."
I ran into the woods shifting in mid air.
(Wow I shifted.) (Yes, now let's hurry.)
I let my wolf take over and we finally made it to the border.
(Eleanor get your ass back here, you are in so much trouble.)
(I am never coming back so far well.)
I closed my link. I don't need any distractions. Finally the border. I am not letting the Alpha get away from not being punished.
"I Eleanor reject Alpha Blake as my mate, Luna title, and I Eleanor reject the Alpha as my Alpha." "I am now a rogue."
I can hear the Alpha howl as he feels the connection fade away. I feel free.
"Sigh."
(We have to go somewhere where he wont be able to find you. He knows what happened and he is going to still want you as his mate.) (Why would he still want me?) (You had his pup.) (That still makes no sense why he would still want me?) (I am not sure either but I could sense it before you broke the bond. Run North we can go to the Star Moon pack.) (How do we know they won't try to kill us?) (Just trust me.)
"Sigh." "Okay then."
I let my wolf take off North. I have to trust she knows what she's doing.
(We have to rest.) (What about Alpha Blake?) (We should be fine for now, we are way ahead of the pack.) (That would be great to rest then. We have to find a safe place to stay.) (I see a cave over there.)
Walking into the cave it's really dark but at least it's warm.
(What's your name?) (Haha I forgot to tell you that my name is Sarah your wolf.) (It's nice to finally be with you Sarah.)
I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep. I woke up to a growl of other rogue wolves surrounding me.
(Let me take over. I can handle some mutts.)
I let Sarah take over. One by one they fell to the ground. Sarah was right, we are stronger than I thought. She started to run.
(Let's keep going, we have to be getting close.) (I trust you Sarah, do whatever you need to do. Let's stop for some food first. There is a rabbit over in the woods.) (Sounds great to me.)
Finally some food the rabbit tasted so yummy.
"Howl."
What in the world was that all about? I turn to see a battle between rogues and another pack.
(We have to hide.) (I am going to shift so they can't scent us.)
I shifted and hid behind a tree. I have no clothes because they ripped when I shifted.
"That should be all of them take the live one for questioning."
"Sir we missed one."
"You behind the tree come out and we will kill you fast so you don't suffer."
What? He is crazy if he thinks I want to die. Oh no they are coming this way. What should I do? If I shift then I am dead if I run I am dead and if I fight I am dead this all comes down to a dead end for me. It's too late to shift. I have to do something. I sprinted away from the pack as the ground started to shake and rocks started to fly at the wolves.
(What's happening?) (That is your power, we are an elemental wolf.) (We are?)
As I continued to run, a big wave from the frozen lake knocked me down. What the hell?
"Cough." "Cough."
"You thought you could get away that easily?"
I looked up to see a familiar face. No it couldn't be? How did he find me?
"Alpha Blake?"
Before I knew it I passed out.
(Mate.)
I put my jacket over her small body and picked her up growling at the rest of my warriors to stay away from her.
"Mate."
The warriors backed off and gave a bow.Why the hell did she say my brother's name? She looked so scared when she said his name. She must be from the River Moon pack but why is she rogue? I have to talk to my father about this. I got to the pack hospital and my father was there waiting for me. I linked him on my way back.
"Father, do you know who she is?"
"Sigh." "Yes this is Eleanor." "How did she end up here?"
"I don't know, father we went and fought off some rogues we almost killed her thinking she was rogue too." "Father, she is my second chance mate."
"Congratulations son." "But that doesn't help answer what she is doing way up North and not back at the River Moon pack."
***
I squinted at the bright light in my eyes. What happened? Where am I? I look around to see a man that looks like Blake but he's not and no way it can't be.
"Alpha Mark?"
"Yes Eleanor."
"Where am I?"
"You are in the Star Moon pack."
I look back at the man and I still don't know who he is.
"I made it?" "Thank the moon goddess."
"That's my question Eleanor, why are you here?" "You do know it's dangerous to go rogue." "You could have been killed."
"I know it's dangerous but I would have been better off dead than to live any longer in that horrible pack."
"What happened that made you want to come here?"
"I was a slave to them." "I was constantly bullied to no end, they would starve me for weeks so I would have to dig through the trash just so I could eat."
"Growl!" "What!?"
Tears started to form in my eyes. I moved as close to the back of the bed as I could.
"What else happened?"
I can feel my blood boiling. I know that Blake isn't the best pack leader but to do something like this is very low.
(Calm down son, you're scaring her.)
"Sigh." "Is there anything else?"
"I do have another question?" "No one saw me naked did they?"
"No." "Why?"
"No reason."
That's good I don't want anyone to see my scars.
"Is there anything else?"
"I am a late bloomer." "I didn't get my wolf until I turned twenty one a couple days ago." "I found my mate, it was Alpha Blake he."
I can feel tears flowing down my face.
"He raped me and rejected me."
"Growl!" "ASSHOLE!"
(I am going to fucking kill him.)
(You need to cool down, go for a run and we will talk about this later.)
I hid under the covers not wanting to see what would happen. What did I say wrong?
"Eleanor, can you please come with me?"
"Yes, Alpha Mark."
We walked in silence for a long time.
"What My son Blake did is unacceptable." "I am sorry for what he has done to you."
"From what my wolf told me is that Blake wont stop until he finds me." "I don't know how she knows that but I believe her."
"Hmm." "That is going to change everything for my other son." "He is the Alpha of this pack." "You saw him angry." "He's angry at his brother for what happened to you."
"Sigh." "I thought he was mad at me." "Also he's the Alpha?"
I just lied to the Alpha when he asked if I had anything else to say about what happened to me.
"Haha." "Yes he is the Alpha." "Are you alright?" "You don't look so good." "You know what, let me take you to your room and you can get some more rest if you have had a long day."
Alpha Mark to me in a room it's very big and beautiful.
"Are you sure I can stay here?" "I don't mind sleeping in the basement."
I feel like this is just too nice to ruin with my messiness.
"My son would have my head if he heard you say that." "This is your room so please take some rest."
"I really don't want to get anything dirty, I am a mess."
"Ah yes, let me send some clean clothes for you." "You may take a bath in the bathroom and please don't worry about anything else." "Think of this as your new home and you may do as you please."
I watched as Mark left me in the room, shutting the door behind him. Why would he give me such a nice room?
"Knock. Knock." "Ma'am?" "I have clothes for you."
"Oh um thank you." "My name is Eleanor, what's yours?"
"Nice to meet you, miss." "My name is Rose."
"That's a lovely name." "Rose, could you please help me?" "I am not sure how to use anything in the bathroom." "Could you please show me?"
Her eyes got wide.
"Miss you are telling me you never used a bathroom before?"
"Well toilet yes everything else no."
"Yes of course I will show you how."
I followed Rose into the bathroom and she showed me how to turn on and off the water.
"Oh so it's the same as a sink I get it now."
"Well I will leave you to it."
She walked out leaving me in the bathroom. I filled the tub. Now what do I do? I climbed into the tub with my clothes on. I think this is how one would take a bath. Well, do I just sit here and let the water warm me up?
"Sigh."
This is not my expertise. I climbed out of the tub, took my wet clothes off and let myself air dry as I walked around the room.
"Knock. Knock."
"Yes."
"Eleanor, it's me Alpha Mark, how are you settling in?" "Oh my sorry I didn't know you were not dressed yet I can come back later."
"No you're fine I will get dressed now I was just letting my body dry off before putting these beautiful clothes on."
"You do know that there are towels in the bathroom."
"Why would I need a towel?"
"Um." "Never mind." "I came to ask if you would join us for dinner."
"If that's okay with Alpha and you Alpha Mark."
"Oh of course come let's get you fed."
I followed Alpha Mark into the dinning hall.
"Wow, it's so big."
"Please sit anywhere you would like."
I walked over to the wall and sat down on the floor.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"I um."
Shit I just pissed off the Alpha.
"I am sorry."
"Sigh." "Come let me take you to the table."
"No that's okay I am fine here I know I can't get in trouble here so this is my spot if you don't mind Alpha."
"I do mind, none of my pack sits on the floor."
I put my hand out for her to grab but she flinches before grabbing my hand. What the actual fuck did my brother do to you and why can't you feel our mate bond? I pulled out a chair for her to sit down and I sat next to her. Dinner was served and everyone filled their plates except for Eleanor.
"Sigh." "Why haven't you dished up yet?"
"I um." "I am not hungry." "May I be excused?"
I can see tears in her eyes. I can feel her not wanting to be here."
"Sigh." "Very well you may be an excuse." "I will be late tonight before bed to make sure you're doing alright."
"Yes Alpha thank you."
I rushed out of the dinning room and back to the room I was staying in. I ran to the bed after closing the door and threw myself on the bed. Tears flowing down my face. I am not sure how long I have been crying for when sleep took over.
"Eleanor!" "Eleanor!"
I jolt awake.
"What's going on?"
I see fear in Alpha's eyes.
"Are you alright?"
"I am fine, why?"
"I couldn't hear you breathing and your heart was weak."
"I had to make sure I was quiet, that's why you can't hear me breathing." "Why are you up so late anyway?" "Sorry, never mind, I didn't mean to be rude."
"I told you I was going to check on you and plus it's no longer night time." "When I came in to check on you you were already asleep so I left you but when I didn't see you at breakfast I rushed over to make sure you were alright."
"Thank you Alpha for checking in on me." "I am sorry if I scared you."
"Come let's get something in your belly and I will not allow you to not eat you will have something or it will be hard for you to train."
"Alpha if I may?"
"Yes?"
"I am not even a part of this pack and yet you want me to train?"
"Oh right after you eat I will take you to my office to accept you as a member of this pack then you will drink my blood to officially become a pack member and be connected to our link."
I sat down by the Alpha and he dished me up some food. Once the food was in front of me I started to eat with my fingers. My eyes go wide.
"This food is amazing."
I start to shovel the food in my mouth. When I looked up to see everyone staring at me. Was I not supposed to eat any of it? I pushed the plate away from myself.
"I am sorry."
I got up from my chair and walked out of the dining room. I just made a fool out of myself in front of everyone. I will just meet Alpha at his office. I sat down by the door waiting for him to come. I hope he doesn't hate me for what I did.
"Excuse me, I need to unlock the door."
"Sorry Alpha."
I got up off the floor bowing to him.
"Come on in."
She followed behind me quietly.
"I am sorry for what happened at the breakfast table."
"What are you talking about?" "Why are you sorry?"
"I shouldn't have eaten anything without your permission isn't that the reason everyone looked at me like they did?"
I couldn't help but laugh. That's the reason why she left the room?
"Sorry I shouldn't laugh but the reason why everyone was looking at you was because of the way you were eating it had nothing to do with permission to eat." "I am guessing my brother fed you like a dog." "We don't eat like that here." "Everyone here is treated with respect and there are no slaves." "Everyone has their own job and that's what they do." "It looks like you will need more than physical training." "What else do you not know how to do?"
I watch as she shrugs.
"Okay well what do you know how to do?"
"I know how to do house cleaning, and laundry folding."
"Well for today that's what you will be helping with." "Well let's get you bonded with my pack." "If Alpha Luke takes Eleanor as a part of my pack I will protect you."
So that's his name Luke. I like that name.
"I, Eleanor am grateful and accept your pack as my own."
I watched as he cut his wrist.
"Drink."
She latched onto my wrist and drank my blood.
"You are now bonded with my pack." "I will have Rose show you where to go."
"Thank you Alpha."
(Mate.) (What are you talking about?) (Alpha is our second chance mate.)
I pushed my wolf away. There is no way that he is my mate. Rose showed me where to go and what to do. This is going to be so much easier since it's more than me doing all the work.
"So if you don't mind me asking how did you end up here?"
"My old pack abused me." "I was the freak so I finally got the courage to leave but I forgot how dangerous it was to become a rogue and I almost was killed by this pack because I didn't smell the pack territory at first."
"Wow that sounds so awful, why would your old pack do that to you."
"I am just glad I am out of there and somewhere where I am wanted."
***
"Father, I don't understand why she isn't feeling the mate bond."
"Luke, you have to give her time, she is a mess she doesn't know what to do or how to feel." "Right now she just needs you to be there for her." "We have another problem from what Eleanor was telling me: her wolf said that Blake will not stop until he finds her and marks her as his own."
"What?" "That bastard thinks he can have my mate?" "I will not let that happen."
"I know you won't son."
"By the way father when I first saw Eleanor well I thought she was a rogue well she has powers like me expert her power is earth."
"Does she know about her powers?"
"I am not sure, father." "I have also noticed that she needs a lot of training." "My blood boils knowing Blake did this to her and yet he wants her."
"Sigh." "Blake is not who he used to be." "I am very disappointed in him but whatever happens I will not get in your way."
"Thank you father." "If you will excuse me I have to go check in on how she is doing."
I walked around the pack house trying to find Eleanor when I bumped into Rose.
"Rose, have you seen Eleanor?"
"Yes sir, she just left. She said that she had done all of her chores and wanted to go rest." "I don't think I have ever seen anyone work so hard and fast as she does."
"Thank you Rose, you may return to what you were doing."
I walked to Eleanor's room.
"Knock. Knock."
She must be sleeping already. I turned to walk away when the door opened.
"Yes Alpha, what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"
(Mate.) (Sarah we already had a mate he rejected us remember?) (Yes but he's our second chance mate like I said earlier.) (How can Blake's brother be my second chance?) (He, the moon goddess, has given us another mate.) (He will just do the same thing as his brother.)
"So just shut up!"
"Wow, that's no way to talk to the Alpha."
"No sorry Alpha, I was just talking to my wolf." "She is trying to say something to me but I keep telling her that it wont work but she just wont believe me." "Would you like to come in?"
I open the door for him to come in and he takes a seat on my bed.
"I am sorry that it's dark here." "I am just used to the dark."
"No worries this is your room so make it to your liking." "So what are you and your wolf fighting about if you don't mind me asking?" "I might be able to help."
"It's nothing she thinks we have a second chance mate but I don't see how that's possible when I just recently got rejected."
I walked over to a mini fridge that has water in it.
"Would you like some water?"
"Yes please." "You know the moon goddess has plans for all of us so this might just be what she wants for you, she wants you to finally be happy."
"Yeah I don't know." "My wolf figured it out earlier today that I have a second chance." "Sigh." "I am just so confused that's all." "I mean why would anyone want someone like me?"
"Because it's a blessing from the moon goddess and if anyone denies that you're beautiful then they need to grow up."
I lean in to hold her but I smell something.
"What's that horrible smell?"
I sniffed the air until I smelled Eleanor.
"My goddess did you roll in something sticky?"
"No?" "I took a bath and I did what I thought was right."
"Do you mind if I ask what you did?"
"Well I turned on the bath like Rose told me and then I did what I thought I needed to do since I never took a bath before I got in the tube with my clothes on and just sat there letting the warm water soak my skin then I got out and through my wet cloths in the basket then walked around my room until I dried off then your father walked in on me and he was so embarrassed he looked away I don't mind thought I have been naked in front of my last pack when they whipped me for doing wrong."
"What!?" "They hurt you more than what you told me earlier?"
I see tears filling her eyes.
"I am sorry I was scared you were mad and… and I didn't want you to be more mad at me so I couldn't tell you."
I felt the tears run down my face.
"Sigh."
I walked into the bathroom and started the bath and put some bubble bath in the tube to make it smell relaxing.
"Come let me help you."
"I don't know if that's a good idea."
"Please let me help you." "Mate."
"You knew?"
"Yes you are my second chance mate too."
Of course he knew. He is a wolf. That was a dumb question to ask. He put his hand on my shoulder. I could feel the sparks go though my body as he touched me. I can feel him unbuttoning my shirt.
"No!"
I moved away from him and buttoned my shirt back up. I can't let him see my scars. I looked at him with tears in my eyes but I can see concern in his eyes and sadness in them because I said no to what he was doing.
"I am sorry I don't mean to make you sad just I don't want you to see me."
I looked away so he wouldn't see me tears rolling down my face. I felt his hand on chin.
"Your body is beautiful no matter what it looks like." "You are beautiful to me."
I wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I promise I won't say anything about the scars."
I look up into his eyes, their glowing yellow, his wolf is trying to take over.
"You will be disgusted with the way my body looks." "But you promise not to say anything about it?"
"I promise."
I watch as she starts to take her clothes off but stops at the first button.
"Could you look away until I say I am ready?"
I watch as he turns around.
"After you get undressed, fill the tub and climb in then let me know when you get that far then I will help you."
I hear a lot of moving around then a splash as she gets into the tub.
"You can look now."
"How do you feel?"
"Warm."
I sat down on the edge of the tub and grabbed a cup filling it with water.
"Wait, what are you going to do with that?"
"Splash."
I watched as she jumped out the tub and ran out the door. Running after her I see she is under her bed.
"Sigh." "Come I didn't mean to scare you." "I was just pouring water on you so that I could put soap in your hair."
She was trying to hide even further under the bed. My brother is going to pay for everything that he has ever done to Eleanor.
"How about this we get you back in the tub and you can pour the water on yourself."
She nodded in agreement. I helped her off the floor and we walked back to the bathroom. I looked at her body as she got back in the tub. She has scars all over her body not one part of her body is free from scars. I handed her the cup but she put it off to the side of the tub and I watched as she dived under the water herself and came back up seconds later. I couldn't help but laugh.
"For someone afraid of water you don't mind diving into it."
I couldn't help but laugh because he was right. I just dived right into the water.
"Now what do I do?"
I felt his hands on my head as he put shampoo in and started to lather it in my hair. I let out a moan from how nice it felt.
"Moaning like that will get you into a place you don't want to be or maybe you do and that's why you're making the sound."
I watched as her eyes grew big with questions.
"What do you mean?"
I know exactly what he means and I can feel my cheeks getting hot.
(Howl. can we please do it again and tell him we are doing it on purpose?) (Excuse me? No we can not do that. He will think that's all we want from him.)
My wolf is so gross we can't just make it seem like we just want him because of our needs.
"I can smell your arousal."
Shit can he really?
(Hell yes he can.) (You hush.)
"I…."
He kissed me hard, licking my lips for access. I accept his request.
"Moan."
I can smell his arousal now too. We both want each other badly but am I ready? Shit why? His hands start to roam my body caressing my breast.
"Moan."
My back arches with every touch.
"Dammit I love the way you want me."
I travel my kisses down her body stopping to suck on each breast.
"Moan."
I can feel his hands roam further down my body to my sensitive spot. I quickly close my legs.
"No!" "Please stop."
I looked at how frustrated he was.
"I am sorry."
"No it's alright you did nothing wrong."
I forgot she was forced to have sex with Blake.
"I should have asked you if you were willing to go father." "I am sorry."
"I am alright, you don't have to apologize." "I asked you to stop and you did so thank you know one has ever done that for me before." "I think I am ready to get done with this bath and get out before the water gets cold so what's next?"
He handed me a different type of soap with a wash cloth.
"You put soap on this and spread it all over your body." "It will start to bubble when you rub it on and that's all." "Oh and instead of walking around with nothing on here is a towel you wrap it around your body and dry your hair with it." "Well you have everything you need and I need to tend to some Alpha things I will check in on you before I head off to bed."
"Okay." "Oh and Alpha thank you."
I watched as he shut the door behind him.
"Sigh."
What the hell just happened?
(Our mate kissed us and we kissed him.) (I know what we did but it all just felt so unreal.) (I am so happy that I need to get some energy out right now or I will take over.)
"Alright."
I got out of the tub and walked over to the balcony window thinking about shifting into my wolf before I knew it she jumped out the window like a bullet.
(Wow slow down.) (No way our mate likes us and I need to run because I am so happy.)
"Howl!"
(Shh. Someone might hear us.) (Who cares if this is our pack too.)
"Howl!"
What the hell.
(Chill out, that's just another pack member, you are such a Scaredy cat.) (Hey that's not nice you don't know everything I have been though.) (No but I can feel you and I know you have been through a lot but we are free now just relax.)
Sarah got tired so I got control of my wolf walking over to a small river I slurped up some water.
"Growl."
I jump to see a wolf behind me snarling and getting mad. I growl back what the hell am I going to do now? Should I get a hold of the Alpha? The wolf gets closer and I can smell his scent. It's Luke. I whimper as I feel bad for growling at him. I lay down and roll onto my back. He came over and smelled me before rubbing his head on mine. I shift back into my human form. I am too tired to be in my wolf form anymore. Luke is still in his wolf form.
"Huff." "Huff." "I am sorry Alpha I didn't know it was you." "Huff."
It's hard to catch my breath from that shift. I must have really let Sarah run.
"Huff." "Huff."
What the hell, why can't I catch my breath? I kneel on the ground by Luke letting his wolf rub against me. I hugged his wolf. He is so soft. I breathe in his scent, it calms me down and I am finally able to catch my breath. His wolf lays down and I cuddle against him as darkness clams me.
