Lance
After they have shifted and put on some clothes, they tell Keir that Alpha Geofry is very pissed off with him, but it doesn't faze him. Four more members are joined in with our Pack-bond, and I feel better knowing that our Pack is growing bigger.
We are expecting at least nine more Warriors to join us along the way, and we might find more Wolves or Lycans that are in need of a new Pack, a Pack that will accept them for who they are. Keir has shifted into Echo to carry the female, while Bolt carries both her siblings, and the rest keep an eye out for trouble.
We make good progress, and Keir expects us to arrive at the first friendly Pack by mid-morning tomorrow. I really hope Keir is correct in his assumption that they will uphold an alliance that they had with a Pack that was annihilated over fifteen years ago.
By the time we stop for the night, we have gained twelve Pack-members; one of the Warriors brought his Sister along, and two Omegas tagged along as well. Bolt hands control back to me after the two Pups have climbed off his back, and again both of them thank me for the ride.
"Lance, follow me." Lakota orders in my head, and I follow her without asking questions; she must have heard something as I watch her slowly stepping away from the Pack. It takes a few minutes before I am able to hear anything, and the both of us sneak closer to the sound.
We hear someone softly crying as we get closer, and the moment we walk around the large tree in front of us, we see a female lying on the ground, curled up into a little ball. Lakota clears her throat to let the female know that we are there, and despite her being in obvious pain, she stands up into a fighting stance.
Lakota and I raise our hands to show her that we mean no harm, and she slowly lowers herself back onto the ground; if I had to give it my best guess, I would say she got rejected. "My name is Lakota, and this is Lance." Lakota says, and she asks the female her name and what happened to her.
"My name is Quinnlan, but everyone calls me Quinn. My Father is the Gamma of our Pack, and I was supposed to take over the position, but our future Alpha always made it clear he didn't want a female in that position. He also was my fated Mate, but today he finally rejected me after putting me through excruciating pain by sleeping with his chosen Mate." She whispers.
I can see it takes a lot out of her to tell us what she went through, and it is safe to say that her former Mate intended to kill her. She was already weak because of his cheating, and on top of it, he rejected her, but he hadn't counted on her determination to survive.
"Quinn, would you like to become a part of Crystal Blood Pack?" Lakota asks, and Quinn asks her if she thinks she is funny; both of us stare at her. She tells us that her Pack was about to broker an alliance with Crystal Blood Pack when it got annihilated during a Rogue attack.
