Life After the Storm novel Chapter 39

LANDON'S POV

As the Rouge takes off through the woods, I go after him trying to find which direction the rouge went in damn it I can't allow him to escape. It terrifies me that he saw what Lilly is capable of. She doesn't realize how much danger she just put herself in. I'm grateful that she helped,, but I'm worried now that she may be targeted.

I have never ran so fast in such desperation in my life, the need to protect her is so strong she should have waited until there was no one that would be able to see what she was capable of. She doesn't understand she needs to keep her ability to herself to keep herself out of danger. I knew this would happen. Damn it, what is going to happen if I can't catch him.

I don't even know why they would have even targeted my pack, just because of the fact we keep to ourselves we don't bother others. We don't have enemies, they could easily wipe My pack out there's few of us. It makes no sense that Ivan's pack was just targeted and now mine.

I worry about Ivan finding out what she is just because the more that he knows the more danger she will be in. I want to protect her at all cost But I'm not sure if I am capable of it. Maybe she would be better off with him, Even though I hate the thought of someone else touching her.

I noticed how she didn't think twice to help me to protect the people in my pack. It proves to me that she is loyal to my pack, but how can I expect her to stay if I'm unable to protect her from so much danger? She will always be targeted because of her ability.

As a familiar smell comes to my nostrils, I stop dead in my tracks. It's my father, what is he doing? I wonder what the hell did he have a part in all of this. I know I have to stop Ivan, so we are not seen, so I then mind link Ivan “stop there is something going on that is bigger I am picking up my father's scent.”

Ivan comes up to me, we stop, he then looks at me “why would your father be out here?”

“I don't know, I can't go any further. He will pick up my scent. Do you think you would be able to sneak up to him and try to figure out what the hell is happening?”

He looks at me hesitantly with all that has just happened to him, I wonder if he is scared. Knowing being an Alpha we don't scare easily but him being so close to death it might have taken something away from him.

“Do you think that your father had something to do with all of this?”

I want to say that my father would never be capable of something so awful, but to be honest, I'm not even really sure who the hell he is anymore. He changed after my mother died, so much that I was glad to leave and never look back. My father was so angry when he found out my mate was an omega, my father was embarrassed by it. That is why I left. He made me choose him or her and I chose my mate. He hasn't talked to me since.
