Alpha Loren

Chapter 13 The Escapee

October 12th

When we arrived at the shopping centre Leo grasped my hand.

I then yanked my hand out of his.

He looked at me and grabbed my wrist again this time tighter, "Don't fight me."

"Why do you have to be rough?" I asked, "Can't you just hold my hand like a normal man? We are in

the human world."

"Exactly," he mumbled, "I don't trust them."

"You don't trust anyone," I said, "And humans are the least of our threats because they have this

wonderful thing called the police. When a human breaks another wonderful thing called a law, it is the

police's job to punish them, and because of this, humans don't tend to do whatever the hell they want

because they know they will get in trouble for it. They also have equal rights for women, but let's not

get into that..."

"I understand the human world, even if I do think it's stupid," He retorted. "And maybe I want to hold

you."

"Wow that was almost sweet," I remarked looking down at the way he still held my wrist. "You really are

quite the romantic."

He rolled his eyes and grinned as he slipped his hold down to my hand, "I can be romantic,

Sweetheart. You just haven't given me the chance yet."

"I don't believe it," I laughed.

"Maybe if you stopped trying to push me away, you'd see?" he replied. "Give it a try one day."

I smiled sarcastically before we reached a clothes shop.

"Can we go in there?" I asked.

He shrugged, "whatever."

I picked up a slightly cropped top. And looked at the price. Before I could find it Leo had pulled it out my

hands and put it straight back on the rack

"Too short," He mumbled before dragging me away.

This is going to be a long day.

"Stop looking at the price. I am paying," he said covering the tag on a t-shirt I was looking at.

"I can't help but be conscious. My brother and I used to struggle to pay our bills and buy food let alone

luxuries like clothes," I explained.

"You don't need to worry about that anymore, okay? I'll look after you," he said kissing the top of my

head.

I have to give it to him, that was kind of sweet and warmed my heart a little.

He was still a shitty person though.

I picked up another top, this time a tank top.

"Too low," He said referring to the neckline. "You're already appealing and tempting enough to men-

believe me. Wearing that would be like practically giving them an invitation to take advantage of you."

"What I wear doesn't give anyone the right to take advantage of me, Leonardo," I replied under my

breath. "And it's not like I really have any boob to show anyway."

"No one has the right to touch you except for me. If no one else can touch you then why do they need

to look at you? That's like reading the menu but not being able to order," he argued taking a short skirt

out of my hand and putting it back on the rack. "And you have great boobs. Don't put yourself down."

I shook my head and turned around to another shelf, I felt his hand squeeze my butt gently and I

snapped back around to face him.

He looked around innocently before giggling to himself and flashing me a cheeky smile.

"Keep your hands to yourself, Leonardo Loren," I scolded in as serious a voice as possible but I

couldn't hide my grin.

Oh shit, I'm falling for him.

He smiled, noticing my blush before averting his eyes away and holding up a floral top.

"What about this?" he asked.

"Sure, that's pretty," I replied feeling the soft fabric between my fingers.

I then noticed a denim skirt with buttons up the middle and lifted it off the rack.

He took it out of my hand and held it up to my legs, presumably to size up its length, "Yes, that's fine,"

he said eventually.

"This is like shopping with a Grandmother," I said nudging him.

"You have a pretty smile," he replied cupping my face. "I wish you'd use it more often."

How was he so God damn charming?

I turned away from him, to hide my only increasingly red cheeks.

"Give me more reasons to and maybe I will," I said, before spotting something on the rails.

I smiled in delight before picking up the hanger.

"You wanna see my smile?" I asked.

"Of course," he said.

I grinned menacingly.

"Then go to the fitting rooms and put these on," I said turning around to show him the leopard print

men's skinny jeans in my hand.

His eyebrows raised.

"Not my size, sorry babes," he replied.

"I don't care," I said. "And I think them being a little too small will only make your ass hotter."

"You think my arse is hot?" he asked a glint in his eye.

"Maybe..." I said. "I'll know for sure when I've seen you in these...or is your ego too fragile?"

"Fine," he said taking the jeans in one hand and my hand in the other. "I hope you're ready for this."

Three minutes later, I was sat patiently on the chairs in the men's changing room waiting for Leo to

come out one of the rooms. The place was empty and I could hear him groaning as he squeezed them

on which only made me snigger.

At long last, the door unlocked and slowly opened.

At first, I couldn't even get any noise out. My laughter was too intense. Shortly after, I erupted into fits of

giggles.

"Oh Leo," I said. "They suit you."

"They do, huh?" he said as he did a 360 turn.

They were only long enough to reach his mid-calf and so tight he may as well have tattoed his skin with

the pattern. His ass did indeed look very hot in them, however.

"I can't really breath," he said lifted up his shirt to show how tight they were around his waist. "But

beauty is pain, right?"

"And this....this is certainly beauty," I replied. "It makes a nice change from the black you usually wear

and it's very...you."

"This screams me to you?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Leonardo Loren in leopard print. I don't know how but somehow it works," I said with a shrug.

"I'm going to have to take them off before I suffocate. Do you want one last look at my ass or....?" he

replied.

"Fuck off," I said. "And change before you rip them."

He turned and went back into the changing room. I did take the opportunity to take one last look at his

rear end but only very fleetingly to avoid being caught.

We spent the next few hours shoppin and I slowly found myself actually not entirely repulsed to Leo

anymore. He was actually...sort of...okay?

"Lingerie," he said abruptly as we stood in the middle of the busy mall

"Um, do you want to find a café or something because I also need to go to the drugstore and get some

other girl stuff," I said hoping this would be my chance to escape and talk to Logan.

"No way," he said bluntly.

"But I have to get boob and blood holders-"

"Ew, why did you say that?" he asked.

"Would you prefer 'over the shoulder boulder holders' and 'future Japanese flags'-"

"Stop," he said plugging his ears.

"Leo, you've fucking killed people. I think you can deal with blood," I replied rolling my eyes.

"Ella, say it a little louder please," he said sarcastically through gritted teeth as he looked around to

check no members of the public had heard. "I think there's a cop over there, do you wanna go and tell

him too?"

"Well you just wait here and continue to be immature and I'll go and do what I gotta do," I said. "Okay?"

"It not happening. You don't even have my mark yet and I can't risk losing you," He interjected. "...And

besides, I'm going to be seeing this lingerie. I want a say in what you choose."

"Get your mind out of the gutter," I stated and he sent me a cheeky grin.

He was in a better mood today. Far more relaxed and tolerable and there was even a sense of humour

emerging.

Leo took me to a lingerie shop on the edge of town. I don't know how he knew about it, I didn't want to

ask, but the women who worked there seemed to know him and after we had entered, they turned the

'open' panel on the door to 'closed'.

I narrowed my eyes before turning to the racks and racks of risque and sexy lingerie.

"I prefer a bulk pack of white granny panties," I said bluntly.

He smiled and picked up a black lace thong, "I prefer this kinda thing," he said.

"Leo-" I began.

"Sssh," he hushed forcing them into my hands before beckoning over one of the women who worked

here.

She was maybe forty years old, dressed in a tight black pencil skirt and a shirt far too tight over her

boobs revealing her lace bra beneath.

"Ursula, will you sort my girlfriend with a selection of lingerie. As always, money is no problem," he

said, running his fingers along the padding of one of the bras, without even looking at the woman.

As always?

She nodded before turning to me, "Size, miss?"

I looked up at Leo hesitantly.

He smiled and turned away from us, taking a seat on the couch on the other side of the shop, "Pretend

I'm not here," he said.

"32 B," I said quietly to her.

Ursula smiled, "The dressing rooms are through there," she said, "I'll bring sets to you to try on."

"Try on?" I asked, swallowing.

Leo laughed as Ursula ushered me towards the back of the shop and through an open doorway, down

a short hall and through a curtain.

The room was fully mirrored with a plush poof to sit on. I slipped off my shoes and sighed, looking at

my reflection.

Leo was a regular here. It was obvious.

I wondered what the other girls he'd brought looked like. If their cup size was bigger than a B or if they

were tall with beautiful long legs and the perfect glossy curls.

I sighed and sat back down a few minutes before Ursula appeared with a bundle of lingerie.

I forced a smile and she left me to try it on. It was all silky, sheer and lacy. There were no prices on the

labels but one set alone felt like it cost more than I could ever afford.

As I looked in my reflection, I didn't hate it. I'd never seen myself in anything other than an old, skanky

bra and a pair of the cheapest Walmart panties and it wasn't horrible to finally have something nice.

Well, until Ursula came in with one more set, "Leonardo picked this one out," she said, reminding me

that all this was all for his benefit than mine.

I sighed and gave her a slight smile.

"Are you alright, hun?" she asked.

I nodded, "Just a little overwhelmed," I said, "And it doesn't feel great to be treated just like another one

of his barbie dolls."

She smiled before glancing over her shoulder before stepping in and closing the curtain, "The power is

in your hands, girl. He is head over heels for you and you could easily drive him insane with that cute

little body."

I grinned as I turned back to the mirror and looked at my body again.

"Use it as a weapon," she said in a hushed tone, "That'll teach him."

I nodded and took the set he had chosen out of her hand.

I changed into the black set. It pushed my boobs up and the sheer mesh of the thong stretched all

around covering only just enough.

Just as I was adjusting the straps to fit perfectly, I heard heavy footsteps coming down the hall, different

from the clink of Ursula's heels.

My eyes widened and I quickly grabbed my shirt.

But I didn't have time to put it on before the curtain was pushed aside and Leo ducked his head to

enter.

"Fuck," he said, looking at me up and down.

His eyes were already black with lust.

"Get out," I ordered.

"Why?" he asked, stepping closer to me.

I backed away, trying to shield my body but with mirrors all around, it was impossible.

"You don't need to be shy," he said taking the shirt out of my hand and throwing it to the ground, "You're

gorgeous."

He was now super closer to me, I had nowhere to go and no way of drawing his eyes from my body.

So instead, with Ursula's words in mind, I slowly looked up at him a slight smile on my lips.

His eyes seemed to light up at my expression as I placed my hands gently on his chest. Without

hesitation, he leant in to kiss me but I avoided it, ushering him back to sit on the velvet poof before

positioning myself between his legs.

I smiled as I ran my finger along his jaw.

"Are you teasing me, Ella?" he asked, his eyes on my boobs which were inches from his face.

I then left a lingering kiss on his cheek as I ran my fingers through his hair, ensuring I brought my chest

even closer to his face.

"When you said I'm your weakness, I thought you just meant in terms of your enemies," I said, "Only

now am I realising the power I truly have over you."

He didn't reply, too encapsulated by my body.

His hands came forward to my hips but I slapped him off. He groaned and bit his lip.

"Careful," he warned, "You do not want to provoke me."

I smiled, "All these empty threats. You aren't going to do shit to me."

I then left a soft kiss on his jaw before turning away.

With that, he grabbed my hips and pushed me against one of the mirrors before squeezing my left

breast hard.

"Try teasing me once more and I will fuck you right here right now so hard this entire store knows that

you are mine to do whatever I please with," he said deeply, "And you will fucking enjoy it."

I swallowed. By the way, his hand lay uninvited on my boob and how I could feel his manhood through

the sheer mesh of the panties, I could believe him.

I nodded and looked down before he slowly withdrew.

"So unless you want to do that," he began, "Get dressed and don't show me this lingerie again until you

want me to take you."

I nodded and he turned and left the fitting room.

Well, that was a fail. Maybe Ursula's idea would have worked on a normal man but I guess I completely

forgot how psychopathic Leonardo is.

I stepped out of the dressing room with the sets that fitted best in my hand and without making eye

contact I handed them to Leo and stood with my arms folded by the door whilst he paid. Ursula eyed us

both but said nothing and soon enough we were leaving still in silence.

"Now for the drug store," I announced as we got back into the centre of Kellington.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot," he said with a sigh.

I grinned.

So I'd learnt fairly quickly teasing him with my body was dangerous business but what about with

tampons?

I had found another weakness and I was going to exploit it endlessly.

When we reached the store, I went straight to the 'ladies' aisle.

"Tampons, tampons, tampons," I muttered as I scanned the shelves with Leo hovering behind me.

"Um...Do you see them, Leo because I don't...?"

I looked back and he gave me a grumpy look, "There," he grumbled pointing out the whole array of

them that were clearly right in front of me (as we both knew).

"Aha, thank you, dear," I replied.

"Can you just grab any and we go?" he asked as I crouched down.

"Oh no!" I exclaimed over-enthusiastically. "This can't be rushed."

He rolled his eyes and folded his arms, "Jesus Christ."

I searched through the products looking for one of my usual brands. When I couldn't find them, a clever

idea popped into my head.

"They don't have my favourite tampons!" I blurted. "Can we go to Kellington? I know they have them

there."

"Ella, Kellington is like a forty minutes drive away," he said. "What about all the other ones? What about

those ones?" he continued picking up a box. "Zero leakage, zero discomfort."

"Leonardo," I began taking the box out of his hand and putting it back on the shelf. "Since you are a

male without a uterus-"

"Just like most males," he interjected.

"-I can't possibly expect you to understand but the last time I strayed away from my tried and tested

tampons, one got stuck and another was never seen again-"

"Okay, fine," he interrupted. "Anything for my lady and for you to stop that story right there."

I smiled and took his hand as we left the shop and headed to the car park.

"Thanks, Leo," I said.

He smiled and kissed the top of my head.

But don't think for a second that I want to drive all the way to Kellington for the sake of a box of bloody

tampons (pun not intended). I just knew that getting to Kellington would get me closer to Kellington

High where I could find Logan and talk some sense into him.

When we arrived in Kellington, we headed straight for the drug store. I grabbed a random box of

tampons from the shelf because honestly, I don't actually have a preference and Leo took them to the

till without noticing that they were most likely in the other drugstore too. (Probably because his eyes

were looking anywhere but the box)

I looked out of the window to the high school that was just down the road.

"That's my school," I said to Leo as we left the store. "It's only 12:30. I'd still have three more periods," I

added with a sigh.

"Didn't think a desperation to go to school would be a problem I'd have to face," Leo replied.

"I love school. All my friends are there," I said slightly over exaggerating with the 'love'. "Please."

Leo sighed before kissing the top of my head firmly.

"Go. I'll be outside at 3:00pm on the dot. Don't be late and if you try anything, believe me, I will mark

you as soon as I find you and get you home," He warned.

"Wasn't planning on," I said as I hurried towards Kellington High before he had the chance to change

his mind.

I wasn't going to try anything so that wouldn't be a problem. I just had to find Logan and I knew he'd be

here somewhere.

"Sorry, I'm late sir," I apologised as I hurried into history. The first thing I noticed was the absence of

Logan.

Shit. He's not in any more of my classes today and lunch was already over.

"Do you have your essay, Miss Jones?" Mr Greggory asked.

I narrowed my eyes trying to remember what essay he was talking about. Oh right. The one that is on

my desk at home. The home I haven't been in since Friday night.

"No, sorry."

"Then you will be joining half the class after school today...again," he said and my heart sunk.

"Sir, I can't-"

"Whatever prior engagement you have, will have to wait," he said. "Now can I continue with my

lesson?"

"Yes, sir," I said after a slight pause.

A few minutes later, we were given a task to do and I turned around to Tyler, Logan's friend.

"Where's Logan?" I asked.

"Football training. They have a game 4th period," he replied in a bored tone.

With that, I got up from my seat and marched towards the door.

"Miss Jones, where are you going?" Mr Greggory asked.

"I'm sorry sir. Female emergency," I announced before marching out leaving him awkwardly swallowing

and trying not to make eye contact with any other girls in the class.

I practically ran to the sports field, the corridors empty as it was class time.

When I got there, the football players were all gathered in the corner of the field warming up.

"Logan!" I shouted as I strode across the fields.

Every pair of eyes shifted to me, including his.

There were a few 'Ooohs' and whistles as I approached him, my face hardened and angry.

"I need to talk to you," I announced, "Now."

He only smiled and continued to stretch.

"Miss Jones," his coach said, "I'm sure whatever it is can wait."

"It really can't," I said. "Logan, now."

"She's bossy," one of his teammates laughed, "Watch out, Captain."

"Whatever," the coach said, "You have five minutes to figure out your woman problems Logan and then

I want you straight back here."

Logan grinned, "Don't worry, coach. It really can wait. I want my mind focussed only on the game right

now. Go and sit on the bleachers babe. I'll be with you later."

There were some more laughs from the other players.

"Fuck you," I hissed before marching away.

I wasn't going to sit on the bleachers like some kind of cheerleader so instead, I waited for my next

classes.

Later when I returned to the football field, the game had just ended but already Logan was nowhere to

be seen.

Fuck.

I searched the entire school for him, I even dared enter the boys' locker room. There were a lot of

sweaty teenagers in there but none by the name Logan.

By this point, it was 3:05. Mr Greggory's detention was out of the question and Leo would tear the

school down looking for me if I didn't show up soon so made my way to the parking lot, accepting

defeat.

When I reached the parking lot, I immediately spotted him leaning casually on his car with a straight

face. He was getting some admiring looks from girls as they passed which irritated me slightly but I

don't blame them. He looked freaking hot.

When he saw me, he smiled and I began to head towards him.

"Ella!" A voice called from behind me when I was still twenty metres from my mate. I turned from Leo to

see Logan.

There's the bastard.

I looked back to my mate and smiled awkwardly before holding up a finger as a gesture to say 'one

minute' before quick-stepping it to Logan. He sent me a look that ordered me not to go over to them but

I did it anyway after mouthing a 'sorry'.

"You're here to talk about the letter?" he said.

"Yes, I-" I began.

"You think we're gonna talk about this here?" he asked with a grin, "Meet me this evening at mine."

"I can't," I said. "Please Logan just listen-"

"See you tonight," he interrupted turning away.

"Logan, seriously. I can't come to your house-" I said.

"The Cerridwen woods then, whatever," he replied.

"It has to be right now," I added.

Logan's eyes glinted, "If you're that desperate, fine. We'll go now."

"I'll meet you there," I said.

"In a bit, babe," he said with a wink before walking away.

Leo was about a hundred metres away and there was an awful lot of other noise and chat going on

around us so I doubt he heard a word of that.

"Who was that?" my mate asked when I finally got to him. I looked up at him to see his eyes intensely

watching Logan.

"Oh just a friend," I replied.

"He's a wolf, isn't he?" he stated. "No ordinary seventeen-year-old looks like that....or smells like that."

"Yes, so am I? What is your point?"

"I don't have one. Now get in the car. We're going home."

"I just realised I forgot my art sketchbook and I have work to do tonight," I said. "I'll be back in like ten

minutes," I said making a move back towards the school building.

But he took my wrist and pulled me back to him. He leant my back on his car before placing his lips on

mine and kissing me softly and passionately.

By the time he finally pulled away, I felt my cheeks heating up.

"Leo!" I exclaimed looking around in embarrassment to see if anyone had seen- they had.

"It's been a while since I've kissed a super hot girl against my car in a high school parking lot," he said.

"Takes me back."

"That's because you left High school a century ago," I replied. "And were you really that boy? The one

that screwed around with all the girls?"

He shrugged.

"Disgusting," I replied.

"I thought you had an art book to get?" he said and I nodded before hastily heading back into school.

I didn't go anywhere near the art block. The opposite direction in fact. The back entrance to the school

happened to open out into Cerridwen woods, where I had agreed to meet Logan. The forest floor was

covered in twigs and dead leaves. Every tiny crunch I heard in the otherwise silent forest, I snapped my

head around at, praying I wouldn't see Leo following me. It was always just a little bird digging around

in search of worms or a twig or nut of some kind falling to the ground but I was on edge and not without

good reason.

I found Logan within a few minutes leant casually against a tree.

"There's my girl," Logan said as I approached.

"I don't have time for the bullshit, Logan," I said. "I can't marry you."

I folded my arms across my chest and stopped, stood a safe distance of a few metres from him.

"You know that means I will kick you and your brother off my land. Right?" He asked.

"It's not my choice," I said. "I found my mate."

"I don't fucking care if you found your mate. Either marry me or get off my territory. Your choice," he

said, taking a step closer.

"But I can't. There is no way he would ever let me leave him," I said, keeping a close eye on him as he

crept forward.

"Well you managed to get here alright, didn't you?" He asked,

"Yes...but that's because I ran away which is why this needs to be quick or he's going to find me and rip

your head off," I explained.

"I'd like to see him try. I'm an Alpha now," Logan replied.

"And so is he," I said almost in a laugh.

"What's his name?" Logan asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Alpha Leonardo Loren," I told him. "Heard of him?" I asked casually.

I noticed the corner of his mouth twitch up a little and his eyes flicker before he masked his expression

with his usual arrogance.

"Of course I've heard of him. But am I really supposed to believe you? Why would the most feared

Alpha ever to live allow his mate to run off? And I don't see a mark and by the smell of things, you're

still a virgin...not that I'm complaining about that..." He asked. "Unspoilt and pure. But you'd think Alpha

Loren would have ruined that as soon as he could. You'd think he would have claimed you."

I let out a frustrated sigh.

"You have to believe me. So please just let Connor stay," I said,

"You'll marry me and then I'll let him stay. Your imaginary mate shouldn't have an issue with it."

He suddenly came a lot closer. I refused to back away, not wanting to let him feel intimidating.

"Oh come on babe," he said brushing the hair off my face. "Why wouldn't you want to marry this?" he

continued. "I'm hot, I'm an Alpha, I'm really good in bed." He said.

"Don't fucking touch me," I spat, slapping his hand away. "And why do you even want to marry me?

What about your future mate."

"Because I've been wanting to get in your pants for years and I the fact that you resist me only entices

me more," he said, running his hands through my hair, "This is my chance to finally win."

I shoved his chest away.

"You need help, Logan," I said. "You are mentally ill."

Logan's smile dropped.

"If you can't marry me due to this... 'mate' then we will make a compromise," he articulated.

"Like what?" I asked.

"Your virginity," He stated, his eyes wide and excited.

I scoffed, "I would rather fucking deep fat fry my own tongue."

"Go on, do it for your brother," he urged, his hands reaching for my waist.

"I knew you were stupid Logan but you really want to mess with Alpha Loren?" I asked.

"I still don't believe you, babes," he said frankly, "This is nothing but an elaborate plan. So fuck me or I

will kick you off my territory."

"Forget it," I snapped.

I then turned to leave but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into him.

"What are you going to do?" I laughed, "Assault me because I won't let you have your way?"

"Don't give me any ideas," he said as his hand moved to my hips.

I felt sick to the stomach. Not only because this was Logan Wilson but because he simply wasn't

Leonardo. How could I have another man touch me like this? My wolf couldn't bear it either. She ran in

circles in my mind, whimpering and whining as I felt his hands run over my body.

"You go home and you think about this decision," he said to me, "And then you either come back

tonight, ready for me. Or you start packing your suitcases and leave before dawn."

I shuddered as he spat every word into my ear.

He then let go of me and sauntered off into the forest leaving me breathless. A tear dropped down my

cheek, one I hadn't noticed form.

I had to contact Connor, warn him of the situation. I felt terrible that he was going to be forced out of our

home and school but I'd exhausted my options, what else could I do?

Just as I had gathered myself enough to head back to school, I heard voices.

Rough, jagged voices.

"Words going around that Loren found his mate. Young, pretty, innocent, naive, easy. If we can get her

alone, we will have his only weakness in our grasps. Then we have the power," I heard a man say. I

swallowed a gulp before ducking behind a tree.

There were three men. I couldn't take them alone. I'd have to pray they didn't sense me.

"And how are you planning on doing that, you know how protective Alphas are of their mates. And this

is Loren we're talking about," Another one sighed.

"What's that smell?" A third one asked sniffing the air. My heart began pulsing harder than ever. They

had picked up my scent.

"Someone's here," Another said.

"It's a female," The first one said sounding slightly relieved. I stayed pressed against the tree trying to

control my heavy breathing. I heard footsteps come closer to where I was. And I let an accidental

whimper.

The footsteps instantly came closer until I was face to face with a boy about my age.

"Hello there," he growled dragging me out to from my hiding spot to face another 2 men.

Oh fuck.

"Well aren't you something. What's your name?" A boy also about my age asked looking me up and

down. I didn't speak.

Suddenly I felt one of the arms of the boy who found me behind the tree wrap around my waist and the

other hold a cold, sharp object under my throat. A knife.

"Blake just asked you a question?" He growled in my ear.

"E..e...elekaffi,"I stuttered cringing at my fail of making up a name.

"Your real name," the boy holding me growled.

"Ella," I said quietly.

The two of them exchanged looks before the one holding me smelt my hair.

"The Luna?" the slightly older one asked and I nodded my head.

"She can't be. There's no mark and she's a virgin," the one holding me replied pushing the hair off my

neck with the edge of the blade. "I can't imagine Loren being one to wait around."

The world really had Leonardo completely wrong it seemed.

"She stinks of Alpha," The other slightly other one observed. "And then name, the description, it all

matches."

"Not just Loren's scent though..." Blake said with an evil look on his face.

"Wilson?" The one holding me asked. I nodded my head, "Why do you smell of Alpha Wilson sweet

cheeks?"

"And why don't you have a mark?" Blake asked.

"None of your fucking business."

"It doesn't matter whose scent she has on her or why she isn't marked. The point is she is Alpha

Loren's Luna. Exactly what we were just saying would be too difficult to get," The older one said.

"Looks like it's our lucky day then," the one holding me said with an evil tone.

"What are we meant to do with her, Jake?" Blake asked the older looking guy.

"I would say kill her but it seems such a waste," He said sarcastically cooing at me.

"Bring her here Jason," He ordered. 'Jason' dragged me over to Jake and took the knife out from

underneath my chin.

The second the knife was gone, I elbowed him in the stomach. He groaned and clutched his stomach

but I failed to get out of his grip.

"Fucking bitch," he cursed.

"Where's your mate honey?" Jake asked gently caressing my cheek.

"Close. Very close," I said. Jason had let go of me and they had all formed a circle around me. There

was no way out and they were all slowly coming closer.

"She's bluffing," Jason said.

"He'll be here aaaaany minute," I said trying to scare them.

"Sure," Blake said and they all laughed.

One began to come close to me, "don't fucking touch me!" I said to him going to hit him but he caught

my arm mid-air and flung me to the floor.

"Watch who you're throwing around," I hissed as the pain from my impact set in.

"Or what?" he taunted.

I begged for anyone to come across us. Even Logan. I didn't care; I just knew I couldn't take them on

my own.

I felt a tear slip down my cheek.

"Guys stop, she doesn't like it," one whined sarcastically. They all laughed again as I tried to make a

break out of the circle. Only to be pushed to the floor by another.

My head hit the hard ground and prickly little shits stabbed into my bare skin. As he leant down to face

me, I kicked him as hard as I could in the stomach. But it wasn't me that sent him flying backwards.

His body lay on the forest ground all limp and floppy. His neck was bent in an awkward position and

over him stood Leo- a very angry Leo. His face was dark and scary and his usually bright blue eyes

were completely black. He let out a threatening growl as he gave the two remaining rogues a deathly

stare. I closed my eyes not wanting to see any more death.

"Go," he growled, "Now before I change my mind. And if I ever see you again, you will die in the most

painful manner possible."

I opened my eyes to see them whimpering and cowering away before fleeing off into the woods. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I quickly got up off the ground and ran into Leo's arms. He embraced me in a deep hug as I clasped

onto his shirt and sobbed, still breathing heavily.

"Thank you," I whispered. "Thank you so much."

His scent smelt better than ever as he gently picked me up off the ground and began to walk.
