CHAPTER 43
The phone call from Declan has been disturbing me all morning. Who is killing these innocent she-wolves, and why are they leaving them to be found by us? Is it supposed to be a warning a threat? I don’t want to live my life being scared, if that’s what they are trying to do. I’m going to continue running my pack as I have been, but I’m going to train more, so if and when the mother fucker comes for me, I will be ready
*Alpha, there is a small group of rogues at the border seeking entrance,’ one of my warriors’ mind links me, ‘What would you like me to do?’
“How many?’ | ask.
‘Twelve, five males, three females, and four pups, and if I may say so, Alpha, they don’t look threatening.’
“Okay, thank you. Please tell them that I will be right there.’
*Copy that, Alpha.”
I head out right away. Instead of letting my wolf out, I drive to where the rogues are. I’m not too keen on being half naked in front of strangers, so it’s easier just to take my car. I love the sound of her when I start her up and she purrs like a kitten, but then takes off like a lion. My thoughts automatically turn to Declan. He got me this car, he’s done a lot for me, and what have I been doing? I’ve been avoiding him and dating his cousin..ugh!
I’m so torn! I’m in love with one cousin but can’t have him, and I can be with the other cousin, but don’t know how I truly feel about him. I know my feelings for Gavin are growing stronger, but I’m not in love with him. There is something deep inside me, nagging at me to keep Declan close, but it hurts to do so.
“ARGH! Why does this have to be happening to me? Why can’t I be like every other normal wolf?” I grip the steering wheel tightly, yelling and growling up toward the roof of my car.
‘There is nothing normal about us, Quinn.’ Tala’s voice comes softly.
“What’s that supposed to mean, Tala?’
“You will get all of your answers all in good time, have patience.’ My wolf says.
“UGH! I don’t know who’s worse, you or the Goddess! I growl at Tala, ‘You always talking in riddles to me and not giving me answers is just as bad as the Goddess not giving me a mate and putting me through all these obstacles!’
Tala giggles, ‘It’s frustrating, I know, but I am sworn to secrecy until the right time comes, Quinn. I am sorry.’
I blow a piece of hair out of my face, ‘Yeah, whatever…’
I finish the rest of the drive in silence and as soon as I see the small group, a small smile graces my face. My warrior was right, they don’t look threatening at all. They do look like they are in need of a good meal and a nice, long rest, though.
Stopping just a few feet from them, I get out and walk over to them, “Hello, I’m Alpha Quinn of the Dark Moon pack. I hear that you were requesting entrance?”
One of the older males steps forward, “Yes, Alpha. We were hoping for an audience with you. We are seeking shelter but hoping that you will allow us to join your pack.”
* And where is it you are coming from? I’m assuming that you all left your old pack since you don’t seem to be vicious rogues.”
The male that has been doing all the talking looks around the small group that he came with. All the adults nod at him and his eyes land back on me, “If I tell you what pack we are from, will you keep it to yourself?”
“Of course, I never reveal information about my pack members unless they want me to.” I smile at him, wanting nothing more than to ease his worry.
“We left our pack because our Alpha is becoming mad. He’s always been a bit on the meaner side, but now he’s becoming cruel and…”
I wait a few seconds for him to continue, but all he does is look down at the ground, “And what?” I urge him to keep going.
“Well, lately, he’s been taking whatever he wants…” I watch as his eyes sweep over the she-wolves in the group. The youngest looking only to be about eighteen..if that.
“Are you saying that your Alpha is forcing himself on she-wolves?”
The male nods, “Among other things.”

CHAPTER 43
“Does he have a mate?” I ask quite disturbed by this revelation.
“He does, but apparently the Luna is turning her head and letting him do whatever he wants.” His face twists in disgust.
“What pack are you from?”
“Blue River, Alpha.”
I’ve been shocked before, but never to this extent. I knew I didn’t care for Alpha Daniel for a reason, but to hear about what he’s doing to the women of his pack and that Luna Sara is allowing it…” I can’t even think about it anymore.
“Alpha Daniel is the one you’re running from? Luna Sara isn’t doing anything about it?” I have to confirm that I’m hearing correctly.
