Her Second Chance Alpha

Chapter 5 Unknown POV

I was surprised when my boss approached me about an important mission that had come up that needed to be handled quickly and quietly. I typically handle smaller issues within the organization.

I'm part of a group of rogues that do contracted work like this. Pack wolves come to us when they need something or, in this case, someone retrieved without coming under suspicion themselves. The clients wanted to remain anonymous until the job had been completed.

I wasn't sure why these clients were so interested in this particular young woman, but they were so insistent about having her they offered $50,000 as p*****t to bring her back. For that kind of money, I would find and bring back anyone they wanted. This was the biggest job I had ever gotten, and I wasn't about to screw it up.

The clients only gave me the bare minimum of information on her. All I knew was her name was Holly Winters. She was a former Omega from their pack. Her birthday was October 1st, which was about four months away. And the clients wanted her back before then. They had stressed the importance of having her back by her birthday.

They had been looking for this woman for a little over two years now. Her last known location was just outside Atlanta, Georgia, and that was six months after she left their pack. They had sent a special team of two of their best warriors to retrieve the she wolf. That team never returned though they were found dead in the little cottage she had been staying at in the woods.

Our organization had wolves embedded strategically throughout the country. We had memebers everywhere of importance, some were in the biggest companies around the world and also in government. It took me a few days but her name had finally popped up when she booked a flight from Atlanta to New Orleans.

From New Orleans I managed to track her to a small town called Black Lake. The town was located in between two packs, though if you got real technical about it, it was just one giant pack. They covered most of Louisiana, a northern pack called the Blackwater Pack and a southern pack called the Black Willow Pack. They were considered the two strongest packs in the southern region of the country.

Now I've been here watching her for the past few days. She mainly stayed in her motel room for the first few days, then she started working at the local bar. I carried a masking pendent with me so none of the other wolves in town would be able to tell that I was a rogue. This allowed me to follow her more closely and hide in plain sight from her and the rest of the wolves in town.

I may have pushed my luck a bit too much when I followed her earlier today as she went for a run with her friend. I had gotten close enough to stay out of their view and with the pendent they shouldn't be able to smell me, but it looked like she had somehow noticed my presence in the woods. That was definitely different. I've followed many wolves over the years and none of them have ever suspected they were being followed, but it looked like she did. Or had atleast the suspicion of being followed.

I continued to follow the pair of she wolves from the forest back to the bar. I entered the bar and sat in the far corner of the bar so I could see the entire area more easily.

The night had started out pretty normal, other than it was a lot busier than the past few days. It had quickly turned just as interesting as it had earlier in the day. I definitely didn't expect the target to be as powerful as she seems to be, especially for a wolf that is supposed to be an Omega. It also appears she isn't used to that power just yet after I watched her collapse. Now I really have questions as to why the clients are so hell bent on getting her back.

She had been taken out of the bar then and I made my way back to the motel room I had rented for the time being. Upon entering the room, I pulled out my phone and dialed the clients number to let them know what was going on so far and my findings.

"Hello," One of the clients answered gruffly. "Have you found her yet?"

"I've located the target sir." I said, not sure how to tell him that she had been moved once again but this time into one of the strongest packs in the area.

He sighs in relief, "Thank the Goddess. Where is she and how soon can you retrieve her?" He quickly asks.

"Well Sir, there are a couple of issues that are going to make the retrieval more difficult sir." He let out a menacing growl that sounded like it could shake the whole house. Obviously, he didn't like that answer.

"Continue" another voice says through the phone. He must be the other client.

"For one, she appears to be coming into some abilities, sir. She released an Alpha aura tonight but it looks like it took a significant toll on her body and she collapsed there after." They are not going to like the rest of this.

"Why didn't you just retrieve her then you imbecile." The first man growled again.

"Sir, that was not an option. The Alpha of Blackwater walked in at the same time that she collapsed. And he and his Beta left with her and another woman that was working there. I assume he has taken her to his pack sir." There is the sound of glass breaking and what sounds like furniture being turned over on the other end of the phone. He was livid.

"I want you to continue to watch her and figure out the best way to get to her quickly. Recruit more rogues if you have to. I don't care, just bring me the girl." The second man said. He is clearly the more level-headed of the two.

"Yes sir" I replied and then placed my phone down on the small bed.

There was just one place to stay in this town, so I knew she had to be in the same motel that I was in. It wasn't very big and was slightly run down. You could tell they didn't get very many strangers passing through this town. After watching her the first couple of days, I had found out which room was hers and had been waiting for the best time to search it.

Since she wouldn't be in tonight, I took the opportunity to do a quick search, but after going through everything I came up empty handed. She didn't have very many things to begin with, proof that she liked to keep moving and never stay anywhere for too long.

"How in the hell am I going to get closer to her to finish the mission now that she's in their pack for now?" I said to my Wolf Steele.

"What about that wolf at the bar, the one that pissed her off? He must be a member of Blackwater since the Alpha said he wanted to see them all tomorrow. He also looked like he didn't like her to begin with. Throw in the fact that she embarrassed the sh*t out of him in front of his friends, I bet he would like a little retaliation on her." Steele said.

Now with a plan starting to take shape in my mind, I smiled at my Wolf, he was right. "Now that is an interesting idea. This just might work."
