Chapter 5
Alpha Tate’s POV
It’s been a few days since Abby had been seen. I figured maybe she was sick but now I am beginning to wonder if that is so. Maybe I should go and see her parents. We had an agreement and I don’t want this to be stalled because they don’t want to give her up. I know it would help them out if she did take my mark. If she doesn’t take my mark then I am going to get rid of them. She isnt worth keeping around unless she takes my mark.
“Where is Abby?” I snapped at Daniel, my Beta.
“I haven't seen her, no one has. Could she be sick?” he frowned.
“I doubt it,” I growled. Did she think she could avoid this? If she didn’t want to do it then she could leave, but first she was going to give me a child like the agreement made. But if she doesn’t want to do that then I will kill her parents in front of her and tell her if she doesn’t give me what I want then they will die.
“Tell the Stevens I am coming for a visit,” I growled at him before cutting him off.
Finding Abby’s room empty of her important stuff, most of her clothes gone, and nothing stating why she felt she had to leave. She thinks I am going to be an asshole to her, and yeah she is right about that, as she doesn’t know her place.
“Find Abby.” I snarled at all the warriors in my pack. “If she gets off this pack land I am going to f*****g kill everyone here.” I snarled again before I closed off the link.
Oh, so she thinks she can run and play games with me. If only I marked her before she ran off, this wouldn't have happened and now I have to go and find her. I don’t know what kind of mindset she is in, but she has to be f*****g crazy if she thinks running from me is a good idea. I am going to hurt her a little too much but she is going to learn the hard way. I know speaking to her parents isnt going to help me, I am sure if she ran away from here they helped her do it.
I know I have to keep myself calm, if she is missing then she is in danger. I know the surrounding packs know she is the Luna here, or at least she should be. I don’t want them to get to her before I find her because then they can use her against me. I know she hates me, and that is fine. She doesn’t have to love me either, she is chosen for a reason, less drama.
“Alpha!” Marcus Steven’s said opening the door to greet me. “What brings you here?” he smiled.
Part of me wants to rip his face off, does he think I am dumb? Did he think helping his daughter get away from me was going to do anything for him? “Where is Abby?” I calmly asked.
“She is heading to the pack house.” he smiled. “She hasn't been feeling all that well.”
“So you’re saying she is going there now?”
“Yep.” he smiled again. “I am sorry she hasn't gone to see you, she hasn't been doing well.” he sighed. “But she is better, I think she is coming around to being Luna finally.”
I don’t believe him, part of me wants to call him out for lying, but I am going to make sure he isnt lying before I tell him I know.
“I want her ready for a child,” I said looking away from him. “So please tell her she needs to come to my office when she gets back here because she isnt at the pack house,” I said annoyed. I know he is lying, it's just a matter of time before he cracks.
“I will tell her when she gets back, she told us that she was going to go and see you.” he sighed. “I don’t know why she wouldn't go and see you, she is kind of excited. We had this long conversation about how much it would mean to us when she becomes Luna.”
“You know she isnt going to become Luna.” I sighed.
“She isnt?” he said confused.
“Well no,” I said annoyed. “You let her leave the pack lands, do you have any idea how bad of an idea that was?”
“What are you talking about?” he asked. “She isnt allowed to leave, and she knows she has something to do for you, so I think you are mistaken.”
“Are you calling me a liar?” I mused. Did he want to see my rage? I mean he knows I can get mad, but isnt he scared of me? “Why would you lie to me, you know I am going to find her and there isnt much you or her can do about it.”
“She left last night.” he sighed. “I thought she would only run to the edge and come back, she knows the human world isnt for her.”
“So you didn’t bother to tell anyone about this?” I snapped at him. “Where would she go?”
“I don’t know.” he sighed. “She said she wanted to go and find her mate, she doesn’t want to be forced to be with you, but we told her that it's best for everyone if she just did what we told her.” he is getting nervous, this is a good thing.
“So I am giving you two days to bring her back here, and if you don’t find her then you and your wife will become rogues, and then I will go and find her myself,” I growled. “So you thought keeping her from me was going to work, now you are the lowest. You lose your rank and if you want to fight me on this, then I will just you killed.”
“No please!” he whined. “I didn’t know she was going to leave, she has been acting out of character for a while, I thought maybe you already had her pregnant.”
“Does she have my mark?” I snapped. “No!”
“I am sorry,” he said looking down. “We will find her and bring her back and she will do what you want.”
“Good.” I snapped. “Two days,” I said before walking away from him.
I knew he was lying and then he tried to make it sound like he didn’t know anything and that he was pregnant by me. Does he realize that she has to have the mark first, and she hasn't even let me get close enough to her to mark her? I know finding her is going to be possible as she most likely went to the nearby human city. I just hope she doesn’t have money saved up, because of the train system.
“So?” My Beta asked. “Where is Abby?”
“She ran.” I sighed. “Her parents tried to make it look like she was still here, but I could tell she left, send some warriors to the human city, I know she is there.” I sighed.
“Are you sure she isnt hiding on our lands?”?
“Well that is where you come in handy, I want you to work with the warriors here and go through our lands and see if she is hiding, but I don’t feel her so I know she isnt here. She didn’t renounce our pack so it might be a little easier to find her, but it might not.” I said walking to my desk. “I gave her parents two days, put a warrior on them if they find her first I want to be there to ensure she doesn’t get away again. She is going to pay for leaving the pack lands.”
“Are you sure she isnt here?” he asked curiously. He has good reasons for asking me this, but today I didn’t want to deal with it. He knows me better than anyone and he knows this isnt sitting right with me. I know I have to be calm, if she gets away I don’t know what I will do. I know she thinks she can get away from me, but she has another thing coming.
I closed my eyes and let out a long sigh, I hope we can find her fast because I hate the humans., and they don’t like us much either so we will end up destroying each other, but wolves always come out on top.
“I am sure.” I snapped. I don’t know why he has to question this, I know he thinks me choosing Abby was a bad idea but I want her as my Luna and she isnt going to have a choice. She is going to beg me not to kill her parents, but I think I am going to anyway just because they think they could take her and hide her. She is mine!
