Alpha Axel

We arrive at Alpha Jarod's pack. They didn't know we were coming and I am annoyed that they have us waiting out here, being searched. They finally let us in. Justin parks our car in front of their pack house. We get off and Alpha Jarod is standing there, waiting for us. I can see past his fake smile. He is angry that I am here. "Alpha Axel, to what do I owe the pleasure?" he asks me. "Alpha Jarod. We were in the neighborhood and I decided to stop by for a bit. I was also asked to check in with everyone wanting to enter the alliance. You were the closest to me today." I tell him. "Of course, come in," he says, as his daughter walks over to us. Yup, not my mate. Like I said, I would have known years ago if she was my mate. "I guess she is not your mate" he says and I shake my head. "Lets go to my office, go prepare us some drinks," he tells his daughter, who doesn't even look up at us. She just bows and walks away.

"Alpha Axel, I am glad my pack is being considered to join the alliance. It will be great to have backup when the rogues attack. I can also be of service to any pack nearby with my warriors in case they get attacked." he says. I nod, like I agree with him, but I don't. I know that in an emergency attack, he wouldn't send his pack members, but he sure would expect the help if it is his pack being attacked. His daughter comes in and serves us drinks. I notice he is mind linking and then she spills the drink on my pants. "Oh sorry Alpha Axel, my daughter can be clumsy. Why don't you show him to a room and help him get cleaned up" he says. "I can find my way," I tell him. "Nonsense, she will help you" he says. "Yes Alpha, I can help you" she says. I sigh and let her take me upstairs. "Your room, Alpha." she says as she opens the door and lets me walk inside.

"You can take your pants off, Alpha. I will make you feel good" she says. Woah. "I didn't come here for that." I tell her. "You don't understand, I have to make you feel good" she almost cries. "What, why?" I ask her. "You can't tell dad, but if I don't please you and convince you to make me your mate, dad will hurt me. I need an Alpha to take me back to their pack with them, so dad will stop hurting me. This is the only way he will be happy with me." she says, and I can't believe what she is telling me. "He hurts you?" I ask her and she nods and lifts the sleeves of her shirt and some bruises are there and some that are fading. "Look, I will be honest. I am searching for my mate. I am not looking for a chosen mate right now, so I will not take you as a mate, but I can offer you a spot in my pack or I can at least take you away and you can decide what you want to do once we get there. You can leave and join another pack, get a job in the city. Whatever you want." I tell her. "What if you don't find your mate soon, will you consider a chosen mate?" she asks. I shrug. "I will continue to search. I am in no rush, maybe if I turn like 35 or 40, but I am only 27. There's still time." I tell her. "Don't you want pups?" she asks. "With my mate, yes" I tell her honestly. I can't wait for that time in my life. I just have to find my mate first. "Okay, but can we lie to my dad and tell him you are taking me as a chosen mate?" she asks, and I know that is not a good idea. Something in me is telling me not to agree to that. "No, I will tell him that I am going to take you to look around and see where things go. I will not say you and I are anything. I don't think he will realize the difference." I tell her and she nods. "Anything to get out of here. Thank you so much." she tells me. I don't mind helping her. I hate when people in power mistreat pack members. I just don't have a clue why he is hurting his own daughter. "Just follow my lead." I tell her.

We walk back into his office. Alpha Jarod. I will be taking your daughter with me to my pack," I tell him. "What the f*ck bro." Justin mind links me. "That is amazing news." Alpha Jarod says with a smile on his face. He looks at her like he approves of what he is hearing. "So, does this mean there will be a ceremony soon?" he asks. I want to laugh at him. "I am going to take her to look around and see if she likes it. See where things go from there." I say "I'm helping her escape this piece of sh*t beats her" I mind link Justin, who looks like he is about to blow. He knows I want to wait for my mate, so he must be shocked thinking something else is happening. "I am sure she will love it there and we will soon get an invitation to a Luna ceremony" he chuckles. "So, the alliance?" he asks. "I will keep in touch with you." I tell him, knowing damn well that once I leave this pack, I will no longer speak to him. "Lets go have dinner to celebrate" he says, walking out before all of us. "Pack a bag, pack anything valuable that you can't live without if you plan on never returning here." I tell her. The girl nods and hurries out of the room and we go to the kitchen. "I am afraid to eat anything here," Justin mind links me. "I doubt he would poison us, but just in case, don't eat anything." I mind link him. We reach the kitchen. "Alpha Jarod. Sorry to disappoint you, but we have an early morning. We have to call it a night. I have to be on the road at 4am. We are so tired" I say, fake yawning. "No worries, head up to your room. I will send my daughter up to your room." he tells me. "There is no need." I say "Nonsense," he says.

We head upstairs and soon enough there's a knock on my door. The girl walks in with 2 back packs. "I'll take the couch. We are leaving at 4am. I am going to drop you off with one of my men to take you back to my pack." I tell her and grab a blanket and lie down. "What about you?" she asks me. "What about me?" I ask her, confused by her question. "Well, you are sending me to your pack with one of your men, where are you going?" she asks me and I frown. Why is she asking me so many questions? "I am going to work," I say, and end the conversation. "You can sleep on the bed with me. I know you are looking for your mate, but we can have a little fun until then." she says. I groan. "Look, nothing is going to happen between you and I. I'm telling you since right now. I'm just trying to help you. Is this going to be a problem? Because I can leave right now and leave you here with ur sh!tty daddy." I growl. "Sorry, no, I just thought" she begins to say. "Don't think, shut up and go to sleep." I tell her and finally with that she stops talking.

We wake up the next morning and I am surprised to find Alpha Jarod waiting for us already. He pulls his daughter to the side, while I get the map on my phone to see where this boarding school. It will take us some time to get there, so it is good that we are leaving early. "We have to go" I tell them so he can hurry up with his little family reunion he is trying to have with his daughter. "Nonsense," That seems to be one of his favorite words. "you should all have breakfast before you go. My daughter is treated to a high standard and I expect you to do the same at your pack. She is a princess" he says. "must be Cinderella" my wolf says, amused by this weak Alpha. He really thinks I am taking his daughter as my mate. Wait until he finds out she just wanted to get away from him and I helped her escape. "We can pick something up on the road if your daughter is hungry, but if we don't leave now I will be late and that will be a problem, so say goodbye," I tell his daughter, leaving no room for discussion. They are starting to piss me off. Justin and I walk out and get in the car. She hops in the back and we are off.
