Running For Her Life

Chapter 6

It has been 3 weeks since I ran for my life. With my new truck and camper, the Wolves have not been able to find me. I have been hoping from rest stops and campgrounds when I find them. I have to say I am liking my camper; I just really miss my family and pack.

I decided since I am at a campground in some place called Bird Creek, Ontario I would build a fire and enjoy the night air.

“Pardon me, Miss?”

I jump to my feet at the sound of a man’s voice. I take a sniff he is a werewolf, I growl

‘Whoa,” he raises his arms, take it easy I’m not going to hurt you," he says

I stay in my stance not letting my guard down. The young man had to be near my age, he had short black hair and blue eyes, he looked to be around 6.1 230lbs

“My friend and I couldn’t help but smell a she-wolf around, we thought maybe you would like to join us” he asked

“My names Damian Knight, my friend and I are just heading home from college”

“Chloe Slater” I introduced myself

“Nice to meet you Chloe, are you from around here?”

“No to be honest I don’t even know where here is” I Said

A Brown Hair Brown eyed girl comes walking over.

“Hello there, I’m Brooklyn, but everyone calls me Brook,” she says

“Chloe Slater,” I tell her

“Did you want to come hang out with us?” she asks

" Sure, it would be nice to talk to people " I giggled

Damian helps me put out my fire and I join them at their spot just across the way.

“So, you both are in college?” I ask them

“Yes, thank God for summer breaks,” says Brook

“How about you Chloe? You in College?” Damian asks

“Oh no, I’m only seventeen, I won't be eighteen till next week” I say

“Seventeen? what are you doing out here all alone?” Brook asks

“It’s a long story I would rather not talk about," I say

“No sweat, Here roast a hot dog,” she says handing me a stick with a hotdog on it.

It is close to 11 pm by the time I make my way back to my Camper. It was nice to be able to relax and talk to people for a change. I turn off the light, cuddle up with my blankets, and fall asleep.

I wake up at 7 am, eat, dress, exit the camper and go to pull out. But I notice there is a note taped to my door.

(note)

“Chloe, it was great to meet you and spend time with you. I hope one day we can see each other again. Good luck and be safe”

Damian, Brook

(End of note)

That is sweet, if times were different, I would love to be their friend, but I cannot stay in one place without being found. I toss the note in the truck, jump in the driver seat shut and lock the door then pull out onto the road.

I have been driving for 5 hours now. I have seen nothing but trees, no other cars, no houses, nothing. I look down at my dash, I am on empty, there must be a gas station somewhere.

With in 30 minutes there was still nothing, the truck starts to sputter. Wait what is that? Just off to the left, there is a dirt road. So, I turn down it and sputter up the road a bit then turn into the trees to hide the truck. I hope my truck and stuff will be safe here. I am going to have to go on foot for gas. I pray there is one not too far, I do not have my wolf, yet I cannot shift and run. I lock up the truck, and head out through the bush in search of a gas station.

The bush smells like Werewolves. Great, come on gas station show yourself.

“SNAP!

I stop dead in my tracks and look around. I do not see anything., I wish I were older and had my wolf already. I continue to walk,

SNAP, SNAP SNAP!

I freeze, something is there.

Screw this, I take off running as fast as I can as a human. I can hear the thumping of paws hitting the ground behind me. BAM! I was taken to the ground. I scramble to my feet and face my attacker. It is a large Black wolf with blue eyes, I can sense he is an Alpha. He growls at me, and I take a fighting stance.

“WHO ARE YOU?” a deep voice asks

I turn my head towards the voice, standing there is a naked man. I cover my eyes. I hear laughter.

“You are a werewolf for crying out loud lady, and you cover your eyes, haven’t you ever seen a naked man before?”

I do not answer, I just keep my eyes averted.

“Fine hold on then” he says running behind a tree.

“There, now look at me and tell me who you are?” he says

I look at the tall Brown-haired, green-eyed man.

“I asked you a question,” he says

On the corner of my eye, I see a brown and white wolf charge at me. I duck and he flies over me.

He comes at me again, but I am ready. I remember all my skills and knock the wolf out cold. The Black wolf I believe to be the Alpha looks at me shocked, he growls and two more wolves attack.

I grab a branch on the ground and fight back, I hit one wolf making him fly into a tree, I run and use a tree trunk to jump from as I land on top of the other wolf choking him out. A loud growl is heard, and everyone stops in their tracks.

“Not bad, not bad at all Miss, now care to tell us your name?”

I stand there looking at the man, I do not answer, I do not know who my uncle may have called and told to kill me.

“Fine then" he says

BAM

The black wolf had snuck up and attacked me, knocking me out.

When I come to, I have a splitting headache. Sitting up I look around at my surroundings. Oh God no, I cannot be in here. I am in a dungeon. I notice a tray of food and water beside the bed. I toss it to the floor; I am not touching their food or water who knows what they did to it.

“Oh, good you are awake” came a voice

I look up towards the bars to see that same Brown-haired, brown-eyed man standing there looking at me.

“I’m Beta Alex Potter, what is your name?” He asks

I sit back on the bed with my back against the wall and cross my arms, I refuse to look at him.

“I see you are not hungry, that is a shame, we have an exceptionally good cook here” he says

“Look it’s going to be a lot easier for you if you just talk to me”

“You Handel your self pretty well for a she-wolf," he says

“Fine enjoy your stay pretty lady, maybe a night in here you will feel like talking”

When he left, I stood up and studied my surroundings? The bars are made of silver. I hear whimpers of other wolves locked up, further down. Returning to the bed I lay down and fall asleep.

Beta Alex

“Well, she still won’t talk Marcus, she even tossed the food on the floor, she is not rouge we know that much, is she a spy for some Alpha maybe?”

“She’s to young, I don’t even sense a wolf in her yet, I don’t think she’s come of age yet,” said Marcus

“I didn’t sense a wolf either, she sure can fight though, I was shocked she took down 3 of our warriors the way she did and as a human,” I said

“There has to be a story there, we need to figure out why such a beautiful young she-wolf is all alone without her wolf,” I said

“She is beautiful, isn’t she?” Said Marcus

“There is something about her, her eyes that draw me to her,” he said again

“What do you want me to do next Marcus”? I ask

“Let her be for the night, tomorrow take your sister Brook down to see her, maybe she will talk to someone her own age and a female”

“Sure thing, I will inform Brook,” I said

Chloe

All night screams were coming from one of the other prisoners, it was hard to get any sleep.

I must get out of here. I must get to my truck before the trackers from my uncle's pack find it and get the files.

I look down and see a knife on the floor that was on the tray of food. I pick it up and go to the bars. I can use the knife to pick the lock. I rush back to my bed and take the sheet off it. I wrap it around my arm, so the silver cannot burn my skin. Sticking my arm through the bars, I get to work picking the lock.

Five minutes later, I hear a click and the cell door open’s. Yes, I am out of here.

I Make my way to the door as quickly as I can, I stop placing my ear to the door to listen to see if anyone is on the other side of it.

I do not hear anything, so I open the door and run down the tunnel, the outside door is visible, I push myself harder and speed up busting through the door. I do not look back; I just keep running. I see trees to the left of me and head for them when I am slammed to the ground. Only this time I cannot get up, A very sexy hot guy with black hair blue eyes and a goatee was on top of me.

“Where do you think you are going?” he ask

I turn my head to the side, not answering him or looking at him.

His hand cups my chin and turns my head back to look at him. Only his face was close to mine. I see his eyes fall to my lips. I can feel his breath on my face. Our eyes were on one another.

“WAIT ALPHA MARCUS," Yelled a women’s voice. It sounded familiar to me.

Our eyes snap away, and he gets to his feet pulling me up, holding on to my arms.

“Alpha Marcus, I know her”

I look at the women, oh my God it is Brooklyn, Brook the Girl I met two nights ago.

“How do you know her, Brook?” the man she called Alpha Marcus asks her

“Damien and I met her two nights ago at the campsite we stayed at a couple of hours from here, she is the one we were telling you about.” Says Brook

The Alpha looks at me and his grip loosens.

Brooklyn comes and hugs me.

“Girl it is so good to see you again, Damien and I were hoping we would see you again.”

I smile at her.

“Damien has it bad for her Alpha” Brook tells him

“Is that so, well we will have to see about that "

“What are you doing here anyway?” Brook asks me

I look at the two men standing with us then back at Brook.

“It’s ok, no one here is going to hurt you Chloe, I promise, you can trust these guys,” says Brook

“So, your names Chloe says Beta Alex, well it’s finally nice to know your name.”

“Why are you on my territory, Chloe?” The one Brook called Alpha asked me

I decide since Brook is here. I will answer

“My truck ran out of gas, I was just walking to find a gas station, I didn’t know I was on anyone’s Territory, my apologies” I say

“That’s a pretty far walk for a gas station,” said the Beta

“Look I’m sorry, ok? I never meant to trespass; I just need gas”

“Where is your car?” Asked the Alpha

“It is a truck with a camper on it actually” I say

“I saw a dirt road a while back turned down it and packed it in the trees to hide it”

I went to pull away from him, but he pulled me Against his chest. Again, our eyes locked on each other

“Don’t try to run, I will just catch you and I am not in the mood to run right now" he says

“I wasn’t going to run; Alpha I was just going to walk with Brook” I said

Alpha Marcus,

She must be the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. Her Blue eyes are simply hypnotizing, her long silky black hair I could run my fingers through for hours. I am watching her walk with Brook in front of me and Alex, she has the most perfect body, curves in all the right places, her behind is so round and plumb, wow I need to look away I am turned on. What is it about this girl that is driving me and my wolf Lucian crazy?

“I think she is our mate Marcus," Lucian says

“What? no, she can not be, she doesn’t have a wolf how could you tell?”

“I can’t for sure, something just tells me she might be”

“Whatever man I do not think she is,” I say

Entering my office, I instruct them all to take a seat.

“Chloe, may I get you a drink?” I ask her

“Just a water please” she answers

I nod towards Alex, and he pulls a bottle of water from my small bar fridge.

“So, miss Chloe, how old are you and where are you from?” I ask her

“I am seventeen which is why I don’t have my wolf, but that will change next week when I turn eighteen,” she says

“And where are you from?” I asked her again

“I was hoping you would have forgotten that part” she says with a sad face

“Sorry not going to happen, you see here I am the Alpha, I ask the questions, you answer them”

“Very well, my father was Alpha Corvan Slater of the Opel Moon Pack,

“WHAT?” I cut her off in shock

“That Pack was killed months ago, there was no survivors” I said

“I left earlier than normal that morning for school, I wanted to stop and grab a coffee first and clear my head from a disagreement I had with someone that morning, when I returned home later that day, I had found my family and my entire pack had been murdered” she says. I notice a tear form in the corner of her eyes

“Do you know who murdered them?” I ask

“My uncle Alpha Victor Quinn,” she says

I Growl

“I see you know him,” she said

“I do yes, can not say I like him, your father though, I respected and learned a lot from that man. He was a great Alpha and man, I’m sorry for your loss”

“Thank you,” she says

“Do you know what happened?”

“I didn’t at first, but I do now, that’s why I’m running, so please Alpha Marcus you have to let me go.”

“Why? Tell me what’s going on, maybe I can help” I tell her

Chloe

I shook my head, tears fall, a hand touches my arm.

“You can trust us, Chloe, you can trust our Alpha it is ok your safe,” Brooklyn says to me,

I take a deep breath, look up towards the Alpha, and tell him everything from the day my family and pack died to them finding me on their territory.

“That no-good son of a b***h, He was always money hungry and greedy,” said Alpha Marcus

“I never really understood why my mother did not want him around, he was family after all, but after reading some files and hearing and seeing him for my self how he really is I see why now”

“Your Uncle owes me 5 million dollars Chloe, I told him he had until the next full moon to repay me” says Alpha Marcus

“He won’t be making that p*****t I’m afraid Alpha”

“You see All my parent's money belongs to me, I have the money he is looking for, that is why he is telling the Alphas all over that I killed my pack, and they want me dead”

I inform Alpha Marcus about how my parents always had things planned and how my brother and I knew the codes and where everything was is something were to ever happen. I even informed him on how I took all the files and transferred all the money into my hidden accounts that can not be traced.

“Please Alpha Marcus help me get gas in my truck and let me leave” I say

“No” he says looking at me

“No? You are just going to keep me locked up as a prisoner?” I asked

“No dear we are going to take you in and protect you, your uncle will not get you here,” he says

“Are you sure it is safe? I do not want to cause any one's death” I say

“You are safe Chloe trust us, as long as you are under my protection you are safe”

“My truck please, Alpha I need my truck it has all the files” I said getting to my feet

“Alex get my brother, some gas and retrieve her truck, park it in my garage for hiding”

“I would like to go through these files with you Chloe, maybe there is something in them, we can use against him with the council, seeing how he wants these files so bad”

“Just keep me alive Alpha, and you can have anything you want from me”
