Blaze Walker sits in his office in the packhouse of the Crimson Moon Pack. He is irritated as he can not find Shaun and Aleandra. It has been more than six months now since they ran away. Yes, he is mad at them, but they are his beta and gamma, and he is not going to kill them for killing Jasmine. They did him a favour as her father lied to him about being a powerful, wealthy pack. As a matter of fact, they lost most of their land to the Red Wood Pack. The Red Wood Pack is growing more powerful daily, and they are almost bordering his lands. He does not like the new young Alpha of the Red Wood Pack as he is cocky and has no respect for other packs. They say he has a beautiful Luna, but she is rude and full of herself. He does not like she-wolves that think they can run the pack alone without the help of her Alpha, and she is the one pushing to get more land and become more prosperous. Her name is Leona, and she thinks her beauty is everything and can win any wolf's heart. Even his. Blaze laugh, he has no mate, and he will never have a mate. They are just a headache.
"We got a lead on Shaun and Aleandra, Alpha. They are working at a hotel in the city," Jack, his temporary beta, says after walking in.
"Great, let's go check it out," Blaze says and walks out of his office to his SUV that is already waiting for him. They don't care about the omega cleaning the office and as they walk out. She quickly pulls out her cellphone. She calls her brother Shaun and warns him that Blaze is on his way.
"He found us," Shaun says to Aleandra.
"s**t, we better run," Aleandra says.
"But he will be here soon. So we need a distraction," Shaun says. Sebrina, who is also working at the hotel, hears them talking.
"Guys, you run. I will keep him busy as long as I can. Then, take the train to New York, and the rest of us will meet you at the Central Park at midnight tomorrow night," Sebrina says. She has become like a leader among the group of misfits. She is clever and becomes more beautiful daily. She only has a little freckle left on her nose that everyone thinks is cute. He red hair is longer now, and she trains at a martial art school every day, so she has a body to die for. Sebrina does not realise how beautiful she has become and that she is more beautiful than her sister. Her green eyes sparkle. She smiles a lot more now that she has found a family that loves her and care about her, even if they are a bunch of misfits.
"Okay, Alpha, we will meet you in New York tomorrow night if you live to tell the tale," Shaun says. Shaun and Aleandra leaves and takes the back streets to their old house. They run as fast as possible to the train station and get on the first train to New York.
Not long after they left, Sebrina smelled coffee and cream. The smell is pleasant, and she wonders who is making coffee this time of night. A big Alpha walks into the hotel, and he stands still and sniffs the air. Something smells nice in here, like honey and cinnamon. His wolf is awake, and like him, he is looking around. Blaze walks towards the counter, and Sebrina almost runs away as she realises that the smell is coming from the Alpha.
"Mate," Ruby whispers.
"No, no mate, we already had one that rejected us, remember?" Sebrina whispers back. Blaze heard her whisper and looked at the red hair she-wolf at the counter.
"Mate!" Domino, Balze's wolf whispers.
"No, I am not your mate," Sebrina says as she starts walking backwards. She knows that the wolf standing in front of her is Blaze Walker, and he will tear her apart as he wants no mate. Besides, the first few nights after she came to the city, she cried her heart out because of Josh when no one was around. She does not want to go through that again. She did not know Blaze was this big and scary.
"Where are Shaun and Aleandra?" Blaze asks, ignoring the fact that he is talking to a she-wolf that has the interest of him and his wolf.
"I don't know who you are talking about. I do not know someone called Shaun or Aleandra," Sebrina says. She can not help but feel hot and cold at the same time. He is one good looking man, but she does not want to get hurt again, and he looks like he is not even interested in acknowledging the bond between them. Blaze walks closer to the red hair woman that smells of honey and cinnamon—two of his favourite things in life.
"Your heart is beating too fast, and you are sweating. It means you are lying to me. I do not like little girls that lie to me," Blaze says.
"My heart is beating fast because you are scary! I am sweating because I know I do not know who you are looking for, and you will not believe me and most probably kill me because I am a rogue," Sebrina says.
"Do you know who you are talking to?" Blaze asks.
"Yes, you are Blaze Walker, Alpha of the Crimson Moon Pack," Sebrina says.
"Hmm, and you think you can fool me? Where are they?" Blaze asks. He stays calm, although he feels like he can grab this she-wolf and take her to his packhouse. He can think of many things he can do with her all night. She is beautiful and apparently his mate. Such a shame he does not believe in the mate bond. Who wants a rogue as a mate anyway. Maybe he should kill her now and get it over with.
"Alpha, maybe they used different names," Jack says.
"Show her their photo," Blaze says. Sebrina takes the photo from Jack and look at it and the happy couple as if she saw them the first time.
"Nope never saw them in my life before," Sebrina says. She stands her ground as she does not want Blaze to know she is scared as hell. She can not show weakness again.
"You are lying, and I will lose my temper," Blaze says softly, but his voice sounds deadly.
"You can lose your bloody temper as much as you like, but I can not tell you where they are," Sebrina says, and this time, she is losing her temper as she looks at the Alpha that doesn't want to leave. She does not know where Shaun and Aleandra are now. They are hopefully on a train to New York by now.
"Well, then there is just one other thing I can do. I Blaze Walker, Alpha of the Crimson Moon Pack ..." Blaze starts.
"Oh wow, let me help you there. I, Sebrina Dawson, rogue without a pack, rejects you, Blaze Walker, Alpha of the Crimson Moon pack as my mate and Alpha," Sebrina interrupts Blaze.
"Accept you, Sebrina Dawson, as my mate and Luna to the Crimson Moon Pack, and I reject your rejection," Blaze finish his sentence. Blaze is fast and grabs one of Sebrina's misfit pack members. They are not an actual pack yet but are planning on becoming one when they can find grounds to live.
"Accept me as your mate, or this little boy over here will get his neck snapped," Blaze says. Sebrina knows that as soon as she accepts the mate bond, Blaze will have a link with her, which is the only reason he accepted her as his mate. Sebrina looks at Mikey, the youngest of their pack of misfits and she can not let Blaze kill him. She bites on her teeth. Why the hell did she give him her name?
"I, Sebrina Dawson, a rogue without a pack, accept you as my mate, an Alpha, Blaze Walker," She says. He let go of Mickey, and he and his men start walking to the SUV. Sebrina grabs Mikey and runs as fast as she can into the street through the kitchen. She needs to get to the house and leave as quickly as possible. Blaze walks to the SUV and waits for Sebrina to follow him. He is not planning on going through with the Luna ceremony. He will reject her once he has what he wants. As he and his men turn around, expecting to see Sebrina following them, she is not there. Sebrina and Ruby know that the Alpha of the Crimson Moon Pack was using her, they have a bond now, but he did not mark her yet, so the bond is not strong enough to know where she went. He can not even mind-link her as she is not his Luna yet and not part of his pack yet. He has to mark her and complete the ceremony to make her one of the pack. Blaze swears as he walks back to the hotel, but there is no one there, and he follows her scent but loses it quickly as the city is big and full of people and smells.
Blaze is furious as he walks down the street to see if he can not pick up her scent again, but it is gone, and he turns around and goes back to his SUV. He does not know why he is so upset as he knows he will find her again. He has friends all over the states, and they will help him find her.
"What if something happens to her?" Domino asks. He sounds worried.
"Then she is dead, and I don't have to worry about having a mate I don't want," Blaze tries to shut Domino up.
"What if she sleeps with another wolf? She is beautiful, and I know there will be many wolves who would want to warm her bed," Domino asks. The wolf inside Blaze smiles as he can feel Blaze getting angry and jealous.
"Then I will have to kill both of them. She is mine, my luna!" Blaze says in his anger, and Domino laughs. Blaze is pissed off by his wolf and pushes Domino to the back of his mind, but Sebrina, in the arms of another wolf, keeps haunting him. Blaze is in a bad mood.
"Why did you not watch her?" Blaze shouts at his men that were with him.
"We thought she would follow you, Alpha. She is our Luna, and no woman ever tried to run away from you, Alpha," Jack says.
"Well, she is no ordinary woman. First, she lied for her friends, and now she ran from her Alpha. Find her. Then you tell me where she is so I can go to find her on my own. I want no other male wolf near my Luna, is that understood? Let all the wolves in the states know that Sebrina Dawson belongs to me, and if someone as much as lay a finger on her, they will die," Blaze says.
"Yes, Alpha," Jack says. He never saw Blaze acting like this. As if he is jealous and protective over the beautiful redhead.
"If you think of her as beautiful one more time, I will snap your neck, and I am not jealous or protective," Blaze says, but Jack can only smile and shake his head. He will have to learn to put up his mind shield when thinking of their new Luna, or he might end up dead.
"Well, looks like we have a second chance, mate, but he would probably kill us when he finds us," Ruby says to Sebrina.
"Yeah, we are unlucky in love. We end up on someone's hit list whenever we find a mate," Sebrina says dryly. She reaches the old house and tells the misfits to pack as they are leaving for New York.
"Sebrina is Blaze Walker's luna, and she ran away from him when he first her to accept him as her mate," Mickey tells the other misfits. Of course, they want to know everything about what happened, but Sebrina hurries them up as she knows Blaze will not stop until he finds her.
"We will tell you everything on the train," Sebrina says. As they reach the train station, it is crawling with the Crimson Moon Pack wolves. She knows they are looking for her and send the misfits to the train independently. Unfortunately, she will have to think of another way to leave this city. Luckily her hair is covered by a hoody, and the wolves have not spotted her, but they are checking everyone getting on the trains.
