Running For Her Life

Chapter 7

Chloe

“Ok I am done for now, if I keep reading through these files, I am going to go cross-eyed” I say

“I agree, your father was a very smart Alpha he documented everything,” said Alpha Marcus

“He was the best; he did not deserve to be murdered” I said

Strong hands touch my shoulder,

“No, he did not, and I promise I will help you get that son of a b***h,” said Marcus

“I need some air, is it alright if I wonder the grounds?” I ask

“Air sounds good, mind if I join you?” Marcus asks

“Sure, why not, can’t get lost that way than” I giggled

Alpha Marcus shows me the grounds, then decides to take me down a bath through the tree line. Soon It open’s to a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains.

The view took my breath away.

“It is so beautiful here" I say

“Yes, very beautiful" Alpha Marcus says only he was looking at me. I blush, walk to the shoreline, take a seat in the sand, staring out over the water. Alpha Marcus sits next to me

“Can I ask you a question Chloe?” he asks

“Sure, what is up?”

“Where did you learn to fight like that? You took out three of My best warriors while you were in human form” He asks

“As you know my father was an Alpha, I also had an older brother who would be the next Alpha, which just left me as an Alpha Female, so at the age of three I started to train, at the age of ten behind my fathers back I trained harder and learned to fight with weapons, he never knew till the day he died about it.” I spoke

“That is incredible, why hide it from him though?” he asked

“According to my father, weapons were not for girls, but I was determined to learn, I wanted to be able to defend my self. I did not want to be a weak Alpha female” I said

Marcus laughs

“Well, you sure can fight and defend your self, can’t wait to see what you can do once you have, your wolf” he says

“Wow just look at that sunset, it has been a long time since I have seen one that beautiful” I said

“It sure is” says Marcus I turn to look at him and find he has moved closer, and his eyes are locked on mine. His hand moves up and slides my hair behind my ear, his thumb brushes my cheek.

“So beautiful he whispers.

His hand cups my cheek, I lean into his touch. I feel his breath on my face, his eyes glued to my lips, his lips just brush mine when,

“MARCUS ARE YOU OUT HERE?” comes a voice

Marcus pulls away getting to his feet

“OVER HERE DAMIEN” Alpha Marcus answers

“There you are, Harper is back and looking for you bro” Damien says

I get to my feet and stand next to Marcus

“Chloe? Oh my God Chloe what are you doing here?” Damian asks

He scoops me up in a big bear hug. I swear I hear a growl come from Marcus.

“It is a long story” I say as he puts me down

“Well, my brother here has to get back, so I will hang out with you, and you can fill me in., man it is so good to see you I was hoping I would see you again” he says

“I guess I will see you later Alpha?” I asked

“Yes, Damien start walking her back now, show her to the room between our room’s please” says Marcus

“Oh, all right sure no problem” says Damian

“Come on beautiful “Damian takes my hand, and we start walking back. Marcus did not look happy, I wonder why? Was it something I said?

Marcus shifts into his big black wolf and takes off running towards the pack house.

“So, Chloe, what are you doing here?” Damian asks

I decide to fill Damien in on everything that went down since I last saw him.

“Wow that is so messed up, thank God you finally opened up to my brother, you can trust him Chloe he is a good man and strong Alpha” he says

“Yes, I am beginning to see that” I smile

When we reach the pack house Damian takes me up to the third floor stopping in front of the second door on the right.

“Well, this is the room where Marcus said to place you,” he said

I open the door and walk in. It is a pretty room of light purples and whites. It has a walk-in closet, a private bathroom, a little TV sitting area and big double glass sliding doors to a private balcony.

“This is a pretty room” I speak

“Yes, not to shabby” says Damien

“My room is the door before your door in case you need me” he spoke again

“Thanks Damien” I say

“No sweat I will see you in the morning, ok? it’s so cool you are here” he kisses me on the cheek.

When he leaves, I walk into the bathroom and wash my face, I look at my reflection in the mirror, I cannot help but think of Marcus and how close he was to me. Was he going to kiss me? But than there is Damien, he likes me, I sigh and walk out of the bathroom.

“I guess I better get my clothes out of my camper if I want to take a shower and go to sleep” I say

Going down the stairs I can hear voices.

“Oh, come on Marcus, you know you want me, you always want me, so why not know?” I hear a females voice

“Just get out Harper, I do not need or want you anymore, I’m sorry it was fun for a while but like I said to you last month I was not interested in you anymore,” said Marcus

“I thought you were kidding Baby; you were in one of your mood’s I did not take you serious” the female says

“Well start taking it serious Harper, because I meant what I said Harper, it is over”

“YOU CAN NOT DO THIS TO ME MARCUS,” Harper says

The step under me creak’s

“Sorry, I do not mean to interrupt you I was just heading to my truck” I said

“Who the hell is she?” Harper asked

Before Alpha Marcus could answer I spoke up

“My name is Coral, I am Marcus and Damian’s cousin, just passing through” I tell her

I see Alpha Marcus give me a weird look, but he knew why I gave a fake name.

“Oh well nice to meet you then dear, I do not mean to be rude, but we are kind of in the,

“Right sorry, like I said just going to my truck, excuses me, Harper it was nice meeting you” I rush out the door.

I climb into my camper, grab a bag, and fill it with pajamas, clothes, and other things I will need after my shower and the morning then exist the camper. I can see through the window Harper and Marcus are still talking with one another, only this time her arms are around his shoulders and his on her hips. Well, guess they made up, I do not want to go through there again. I walk around to the side of the house, and bump into Brook.

“Hey what are you doing out here?” She asked me

“Trying to get back up to my room on the 3rd floor” I tell her

“You passed the door silly” she laughed at me

“Yes, but you see Alpha Marcus and Harper are in there, I already had one moment with them, I do not need two thanks”

“AH Got you, come on there is a back door to the kitchen with staff stairs to each floor you can use them to get up to your room.” Brook says

“Great thank you I just want to take a nice hot shower” I said

She gives me a hug goodnight and went to her room on the second floor, as I continue up another flight to the third floor and enter my room, heading straight for a hot shower.

Alpha Marcus

Darn Chloe has not come back in yet, I hope she did not read into this wrong. Yes, me and Harper are old friends, her father is the Alpha of the White Wolves Pack, occasionally we would get together and have s*x with each other. Our deal was till one or both of us found our mate. But last month I told her not to come back, she just did not turn me on or satisfy me at all. And now Chloe is here, and I have become extremely Attractive to her. I want to be with her. But why has she not come back inside?

I finally got Harper to listen and understand what I was saying, Then I put her up in a spare room on the first floor.

I then decide to run outside to find out what is taking Chloe so long.

I knock on her camper door, there is no answer. I try the handle, locked. I start to worry, where is she?

“Hey Alpha, what are you doing out here? All done with Harper?” Brook asked me

“Harper? Oh, right yes she is in a guest room for the night, Chloe came out here about thirty minutes ago and has not returned back inside yet, I came out to find her to make sure she is all right” I said

“OH, Yes, she’s in her room Alpha, I bumped into her, she did not want to go back through the house and interrupt you and Harper again, so I took her around back and up the staff staircase” Brook says

“Oh, good she is safe then thank you, Brook” I say

“No sweat have a good night, Alpha” she says jogging away

Oh, thank heavens she is all right, I must see her.
