Layla's pov: "I found you my little mate!" is all I hear in my head. "Layla its him", Tanwyn says. shaking uncontrollably, I slid down to the caves floor, the black wolf, the same one I seen months ago, is standing a few feet away from me. "Please don't hurt me." tears coming down my face. The wolf relaxed, and in seconds I see his fur change and his paws become feet and hands, and soon a huge well built goddess of a man is standing In front of me, oh my god he's naked. I scan his face it's beautiful, his blue eyes are staring at me, I look further down and he is built huge, I see every muscle on his body, then I go further down, and God oh mighty he is huge down there. My jaw drops. "Layla close your mouth." I hear T snicker. He just stands there, he ain't saying nothing. Then suddenly the grey wolf comes running threw the entrance of the cave. When he sees me he stops and stares straight at me. There's no way I can fight these 2. Standing up I get in a stance ready to go down. The wolf snickers and the man cuts his eyes at him. The wolf shakes his head, then instantly he turns into a man as well, and jesus christ what is it with these goddess like men, he's handsome as well, naked to, I turn my eyes away. "Sorry" I hear one of the men say. "You can look now, were dressed." the voice says, I turn my eyes back toward the men and thank God there dress besides there bulging biceps standing out. "We are not here to hurt you in any way, we came to rescue you and bring you home where you belong." the grey wolf guy says, walking toward me. I back up bumping the wall of the cave. He instantly holds his hands up to show he means no harm. " His wolf scent, it smells very familiar." T says to me, "How, I've never seen this man before." I say back to her. "My name is Ryan Lee, I'm the beta of the Royals Pack, here is Alpha Owen Pierce, he is soon to be crown king of all werewolves." Ryan says, gesturing toward the other guy. "What do you want." I say to either one, "Well this might come to a shock but you and I are brother and sister." Ryan says leaning against the wall. I jerk my head to him, "I have no brother, my parents died along time ago, Its just me, and sorry to disappoint but I don't take orders from no-one and I definitely ain't going back to no pack. I am my own pack." I say with confidence. Owen guy growls loudly. "You will come back with us even if I have to throw you over my shoulder and carry you little one." Owen venomously say. I laugh and shrug my shoulders, "Guess it's gonna be the hard way." I smirk. Ryan burst out laughing and Owen looks even more angrier. "You would make a great trainer at home." He says laughing. Both Owen and I just stare at him dumb. Ryan just shrugs his shoulders. "Why did you say we were brother and sister?" I ask more because T was wondering the same, she ain't said much but I feel her trying to figure out his wolf. "Well becsuse we are. I found a letter months ago, it was from alpha Jon Greene and his luna, they said they were my blood parents, here I can show you." Ryan reaches in his pocket and pulls out a bundle of piece of paper. He hands it to me, I sit down and open the letter, after 15 minutes I fold the paper back up, "Is this true T?" I asked her. "the only way to know for sure, I have to touch him, to see if he has ever seen them before." She says. I jumped up and yelled both in my head and out loud. "WHAT", causing both men to jump, "I am not touching no-one, T what the hell is wrong with you?" I yell. "it's the only way to really know,if he is our brother I will know." she says. Ughh this is not how I wanted to end my day. Owen speaks up "Are you done arguing?" I look over at him and shoot daggers at him. "Look, my wolf thinks that if I touch you she can really tell the truth," I say pointing to Ryan, who looks like he's ready to jump with joy. Is this guy always happy? "Well do what you got to do and hurry up, I got a pack to run" Owen says, rolling my eyes I look over at Ryan who leaped at me with so much force I jumped back and hit the wall falling to my knees. "Ouch", I say rubbing my head. Then Owen growls loudly, "what the hell Ryan, she's hurt." I stare at owen who was inches from me, I don't get this guy, first he mad as hell and now he worried that I'm hurt. whatever, anyways Ryan comes up and holds his hand out to pull me up, I slowly take it, once we touched we both watch as a glow happens and then we see a women laying in a hospital bed, she sleeping an shes bloody, I notice her right away "mom" I whisper. I see my dad next to her, they were young, she wakes up, and starts panicking, she feeling her stomach my father is tryin to soothe her, then a beautiful women comes in, she's holding a baby wrapped in a blue blanket, my mother goes stiff, the women holds out the baby to her, she takes it and stares at him, then she starts smiling and kissing him, my father leans over the bed, and kisses my mom on the forehead and the baby head to. I looked over at Ryan who held no emotion. More people started coming into the room, a huge man comes in holding another baby in a blanket, "That's Owen" Ryan whispers. I glance over at Owen who is staring back at me, I look away then a couple comes in, "Those are my adopted parents." I hear Ryan voice again. Then it goes to them in a room, there all discussing about the first born boy who has survived birth, my parents are crying, they end up handing over Ryan to the couple, then it passes on the baby is now maybe 2 years old, he is shaking my father's hand, there smiling, he hugs my mom, she holds back the tears. I see them eating and talking, another flashback hits, my mom is pregnant again, there in a meadow with my dad and the man and women the boy ryan is now 4-5 years old, he walks over and rubs my mom's belly. "She's a girl," the boy softly says, my mother smiles and shakes her head yes. She tells Ryan parents that it's best if we stop meeting up its gonna get dangerous, and the flashback ends. I'm speechless. Ryan falls to his knees, he's crying. I can't take it, I have a brother. I do what Im best at and run, I take off out the cave and run for miles. I came to a cliff and just sit there at the edge of it, I yell out "WHY MOM, WHY DAD, WHY DID YOU NEVER TELL ME, WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME HERE, HE HAS NOT SUFFER UNLIKE ME, AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH?" I just scream out, after awhile I felt Ryan sit beside me, he doesn't say nothing, we both just stare off out into the mountain range, Ryans pov: After watching myself threw them flashbacks, I broke down, it's really true they were my parents, she is my sister, I am a white wolf as well, they gave me up to protect me but didn't protect her, I seen Layla run out of the cave, I know she be fine, because Owen was on her heels, I find the strength to get up following there scent I find Owen propped up against a tree, and layla siting at the cliff, Owen just nods at me and I walk over to Layla seeing the sun is setting, I sit beside her, "I been looking for you, once I found out about you, I been searching trying to find you, I'm sorry you had to go threw what you did, I'm sorry I was never there to protect you, I will be here now, now until you want me gone, I don't want to lose you." I break down again. I can hear Layla sobbing. "I am nothing, I have been tortured half my life, been lied to, being hunted down, you don't need me, you don't need to be around me, I bring death and pain to those who try to help." Layla whispers. I turn to her and say "now it's time to stop running, to find love again, to be loved, I promise I want let no-one else harm you again, your my sister, we are the last of our kind, we need each other, and plus my wolf ceaser want let you go, he has stop for a second to find you, please Layla, come home to us." I took a heavy breath and stood up, placing my hand on her shoulder, I hear a unfamiliar voice, "hello brother, my name is Tanwyn, I am Layla's wolf, I want you to know, she will come around, I know, just give her some time, we both have been through so much, it's hard to take this all in, and it don't help that our mates not accepting us, I can feel his wolf, fighting his human, bare with us." it goes quiet. I stare at Layla who still has her back toward me. I walk away, "believe her Ryan, I feel that things are gonna change for the better, we have her now." Ceaser hums to me. Layla's pov: I couldn't find the words to say to Ryan, I know he is telling the truth, but I'm scared. "I'm scared to but, I reached out to him, I think he understands our side, he's not gonna pressure us into nothing, it's all a big change for us and for him and his wolf." T calmly says. I take a deep breath and stand up, I walk over to where the guys were, they were deep in conversation, Owen looks at me first, his deep dagger eyes are soft now, I look away, and clear my throat, "I need some time, I been running for so long, I made a decision long ago that it was only me and my wolf, everything is changing, I just need some time to adjust and eventually, I will go back home with you." looking at Ryan, he smiles wildly at me. I smirk back. He does favor my father alot, I felt happy for a moment knowing I still have my parents here, when I look at Ryan I see them, and that helps out alot, "So, I'm having to wait around longer, cause the little girl can't wear a set of panties and grow up, I have a pack to run, not sit in the woods and babysit a rogue." Owen pipes up, "Dude what's your problem, she's your" "SHES NOTHING TO ME" Owen screams loudly, I jump, "Right, she nothin to you, what does ajax think? Why did you decide to come with me then? Ryan angirly becomes, I watch as the 2 men are face to face with one another, tension rising high, "Don't I get a say in something." I stand there with my hands on my hips, staring the 2 men down, Owen huffing backs off and runs off I hear him turn into his wolf, I look over at Ryan who is battling a inner battle with his self, his eyes turn back green like my mom's, he calms down and smiles at me , I just borrow my eyebrows, "Come on, lets head back to the cave, it's getting dark," Ryan motions for me to follow. we start headed back when my stomach growls, Ryan laughs, I'll go hunt us some food. T jumps up on her 4 legs, one thing about T she loves to kill, and hunt, purking up I run pass Ryan, and he yells "What you Doing little sis" I smile to myself, "Big brother, let's see what you got" T taunts. looking back I see Ryan smiling from ear to ear, "On your mark, get set, GO!" Ryan yells, we take off into the woods hunting for our supper. Owens pov: "Stop your bullshit Owen, stop treating her like shes a dog, I'm not gonna keep allowing you to brush her off, we need her and you know it, stop fighting the bond, your not going to screw this up." Ajax growls at me. we been fighting a battle with one another since we left the cave to go chase after Layla, even before then, he wants her but I had a duty way before this, we can't go into war right now, I'm just f****d up from everything right now, but he's right the bond is getting stronger, especially when I thought she was going to drool allover her self, I did get a kick out of it, she's never been close to a naked man before, which tells me she might still be a virgin. I smile wickedly, we about to break this wolf girl. Layla's pov: after about a hour of hunting Ryan walks out with 3 little rabbits, he smiles at me and slings his arm over my shoulder, "It's ok sis, I'll teach you how to hunt." he says proudly, I move his arm, and we walk inside the cave, once we walked in Ryan smile faded and he drops the rabbits, I smirk and walk on over to my bed of blankets, sitting above the fire was a huge buck being cooked. I sling my arm over his shoulders this time, "don't worry big brother, I'll teach how to hunt right." I laugh loudly. Ryan just brushed me off, "Yea, yea, good job." Ryan says going to prop up on the wall, I threw him 2 blankets and a pillow, he nods his head and makes his pallet up, we both lay down facing the fire, then here comes the angry guy walking threw the entrance, he stops and looks at the buck, he walks over to ryan and slaps him on the shoulder, "well done, brother nice kill." Owen says has he takes his shoes off and is prop up against the wall, "Well brother, that is nice but wasn't mine to claim," Ryan gestures toward me, Owen looks at me, and goes back to doing whatever he was doing. "You want this asshole as a mate T? well good choice." I say as I rolled over to where my back was facing them, drifting off to sleep, Ceaser and Tanwyn, are running threw a meadow, there chasing each other, ceaser nipping Tanwyn's fur, she rolls over and ceaser jumps on her, then they walk over to the water, ceaser is bent down getting water, when Tanwyn jumps in splashing him, he growls but turns friendly jumping in they swimming and enjoying themselves, suddenly it's me, I'm being dragged down to the bottom of the lake, I can't swim up, ceaser is above water swimming around looking for me, he turns into ryan, I'm watching as Ryan calls for me, he ducks under water, but can't find me, I'm losing air, I look down to see who is dragging me down, I see the blood red eyes that's haunt me for over 8 years, "I'm coming for you, I'm taking back what is mine." Barron's face appears, Jolted awake, I look around to find the fire still well lit, and the deer cooking, I see Ryan snoring his head off, I mentally roll my eyes, I don't see Owen, I wipe the sweat off my face, and decide to walk outside and get me a drink of water, I have nightmares every night, T says they will go away eventually, that Barron want get us again, but I have doubts, I believe he will find me again. Splashing my face, and sipping some drink, I sit down sighing I look over pass the creek, Owen steps out, instantly freeze, he has only shorts on, don't this guy own a shirt, he stands there for a moment probably thinking why I am out here, "I was thirsty." feeling like it was a simple thing to say, he didn't say nothing he walks backwards and then in one leap hes standing next to me, I gasp silghtly, he leans down and gets him some water, once he done he sits down arms length from me, butterflies turn in my stomach, I pick up a rock fiddling with it, trying to calm my nerves, gah this guy is going to be the death of me, "Calm down little one, I ain't gonna bite." Owen says in his deep husky voice. I laugh a little. "ask him questions, ajax thinks it will help with his feelings." T says in my head. Staying quiet longer, I finally find some balls and ask "Why did you come, if I'm such a hassall for you?" I whisper. He didn't say nothing, after a few more minutes I begin to get up, there's no use in trying to make conversation when it ends in silence, I stand up and wipe.off the dirt, "I did it for Ryan and my wolf, they both were determine to find you, as of.me, I was until I found out that you was my." he went silent. Was he gonna say mate? T getting all giddy, I pushed he back down, I'm not gonna let this man hurt her feelings, so it's best to do what he does, keep it in. "Right, was you going to bring me back and use me like everyone else?" I had to know, I need to know what is gonna happen, if he don't want me then he needs to say it and get it over with, I heard what happens when a wolf rejects his or her mate, they become rogue or they die, "Am I your mate or not." I ask another question, this time staring at him, I'm gonna get answers. He looks back at me then back at the water, "I don't know, I can't think right now I have to much going on as it is, and truthfully a mate is not on my list." he says lowly. " well T there you go, he don't want us, so back off and drop it." I felt her tuck her tail in and lay down, she has to stop fighting this as well, she will get us both hurt, I don't want T hurt, we have our differences but she still apart of me, I feel what she feels. I nod my head and leave Owen out their by the cave, checking the deer, I go lay back down on my blankets. Shortly after I hear Owen come in, I didn't open my eyes, but I felt his eyes on me, I turned around and fell back asleep, sometime during the night I felt strong arms wrap around me, I was still out so Im guessing a dream. Morning came, I woke to the smell of deer, my stomach growls loudly and I rub my eyes, I haven't slept that good in a long time. I look up to see Ryan cutting the deer up, he looks up at me ans smiles "good morning sister, nice sleep?" I just stare at him, then with a come back I say "I could of slept amazing if I didn't get woken up by your loud snoring," I smile back at him, Ryan pushes some deer toward me and in a pouty voice "I dont snore," I just look at him, looking around I see Owen ain't here. "Where's the man of the house at?" I sneer, Ryan stuffing his mouth says, "Hes out patrolling, checking around." I rolled my eyes. "What" Ryan ask. "Its just, i don't know, i.dont see the point in it, .the cave is hardly noticeable so why patrol so much?" now me stuffing my mouth. "Owen has issues ok, he has a schedule he been following since he was a teenager, he's." "Arrogant, asshole, something stuck up his ass." I finish the sentence for him. Ryan stops eating and smirks "Yes he all them things, but he also has a heart it's there, he just needs to be reminded, he is under alot of pressure right now, we have some company show up before we headed here, a agreement was made, but things kinda change when y'all met." Ryan slumps his head down, "We grew up together, we know each other like the backbone in us, he's really battling some things right now, and it's mostly about you." he says. "then why, bring me to your home, why bother with me, I don't understand?" I say shaking my head, "Your special Layla, not only about the white blood but also his other half, and until he can come with terms with that, he is who you see him as." Ryan stands up wiping his mouth with his sleeve, "Now come on, we have things to do today." he says. I stand up and do the same wipe my face, I change into some clean clothes and walk out.
Owens pov: last night, I was asleep when I heard her tossing and turning, then she giggled and a few minutes after she was gasping for air, I knew she was having a nightmare, when she jolted awake I used my speed and went outside, thinking she went back to sleep, I smell her scent and watch from behind the tree as she was drinking water, I watched as she leaned down her long white hair flowing down her shoulders, her little legs bent down, scars going down them, she gets done and sits back, I grip the tree, Ajax screaming in my head to her, tell her her nightmares are over now, but I couldn't, I can't feed into her, I can't give in until I decide my agreement with the alpha and his daughter, I mean I could have both women, I'm a king I can have whatever and whoever I want, but it doesn't feel right, I'm not that kind of guy. "especially when you have a mate." Ajax starts up. "I told you owen if you will chose the one the moongoddess gave you, instead some chick that comes from across the world, that means nothing to us, if we go to war I promise I will protect our pack and our seat." Ajax says. Ignoring him, I watch as she looks around, "Shes looking for us" ajax mentions. I roll my eyes, I finally walk out from behind the tree and layla looks up at me and sighs, ignoring her questions because really I'm not ready to tell her, the agreement I have waiting for me, I don't want to hurt her, as much as I do know she don't need anymore hurt I watch her as she begins to drool over me, that's the good part watching her twitch and feel weird. After a long pause I give her the best answer i.could think of, the easiest way to do this, after saying what I do, I watch as she walked away back into the cave, "Your gonna screw this up, your not going to die with her, but simply without her," ajax growls. Waiting a while I went back in the cave, she asleep, I cover her up, Ryan wakes up and watches me, pull the blanket up on her, he doesn't ssay nothing. Later on Im still wide awake, ajax trying to pull me to her I find sleep, waking up to ryan nudging me, I feel myself wrapped around her, I jump up quickly, Ajax how dare you, what if she woke up" I yell at him. "I needed her, and don't be mad y'all both slept like gods." he pulls aways and I'm left to my thoughts. "I'm not going to say nothing, I understand it was your wolf and not you." Ryan mumbles. "I'm going for a run, I'll be back shortly." I run out the cave, Ryans pov: Watching ajax go over to Layla an climbing under the blankets with her, I knew it wasnt Owen, he never sleeps with no-one, yea he has s*x but a women never stays all night. I watch as they both were relaxed, I know if I did come across my mate, I'm not treating her the way Owen is, I decided then that it's time to make Owen and Layla fall in love. Ceaser sits up and wags his tail. Good I got some help. I started planning out our days here, when Layla gets up we're going to town, she buying a few new things, and tonight there going to have a feast, just the 2 of them, ceaser snickering, I'm goin to push this, weather it kills me or I get punish by Owen, it's time to do an alpha job and that's to take care of my best friend and my little sister. Moongoddess chose them 2, and I swear I'll make sure that whatever destiny is meant to happen with them, happens.
