Waiting on luke to go into a deep sleep, I quietly walked over to the table where Luke left his bag that he's had since we escaped Barron's, I bring it back to the room I was napping at. I scam threw it, bandages, map, can food, cash, and a small glass bottle with letters on top that reads, "Layla's herbels." Maye, I sadly thought. I was furious at her, but honestly, I know deep down she did everything to help and protect me, for that I will always be grateful to her. Hearing Luke groan from the couch, I quickly zip up the bag, throw my coat on, from nowhere my head started hurting, not as bad as the first time, I have the herbs I can drink if it gets worse, but do I want to know if it's true that it's been keeping my wolf down? hearing him again, I brush it off for now, I need to get out of here, grabbing the door knob I slowly open it trying not to make it squeak as I'm opening it Luke is standing on the other side of it holding the knob as well, he lets go and angrily says "Layla, what you think your doing better yet going." crossing his arms. I suddenly double over in pain "Soporaltum!"the voice yells in my head. "What" I say out loud, "Layla wait" Luke lunges at me before I even stop myself I say "Soporaltum." Luke stops suddenly and says " be careful out there, find a witch to help you control your powers, their getting stronger, the herbs will help with your pain, but the more you drink it the more your wolf will fight to come to the surface, stay safe I will find you." I watched as Luke yawn and layed down on the bed, and fall into a deep slumber. It was a sleeping spell obviously, wait that must been what Maye was mumbling when she put me to sleep, but I didn't hear what she said, so how would I known to say that, better yet my subconscious I guess I'm gonna call it that, bringing me back with Luke making a sound, I grab the bag and run out the door, and out of town. The further I got away the pain in my head was getting better, I followed the road for a few hours, sometime another I venture off into the woods, I came up on a cave, taking the flashlight out I scammed threw the cave making sure no wild animals were living in it, it's clear so I go find some sticks, twigs and a few logs and brought them inside the cave making a teepee stance out of the fire, I rub 2 rocks together finally getting it started. I sit down an start going threw the bag again, I put all the small weapons in my shirt, pockets there was alot. the rest of them went into the bag, I layed out the map trying to figure out where exactly I was, which don't do me any good, I can't read maps. I do know that Luke told Maye that night we were going to go West, so I figure I'm going the opposite way because I don't know who he was talking to could been Barron all I know, crumbling up the map I throw it in the fire, "Hell with it, go big or go home and far as Im concern both homes are nothing to me anymore. Time I do things on my own terms, no more buddy buddy with anyone." I say out loud, laying the bag down making it a pillow for me, I hold the bottle of herbs twirling it around in my fingers, having a debate with myself on what to do with it, " If I keep taking this I keep you away, but if I stop taking it, you put me threw pain and you even help me out when I'm in trouble, not such a bad thing I guess, I don't know what to do." I sigh putting the bottle next to me. damn I'm already losing my mind I'm talking to myself. Rolling over so I'm facing the fire to keep warm I fall asleep dreaming of a white wolf staring back at me.
Luke point of view
Groaning, I open my eyes trying to focus my eyes I hear my phone ringing, trying to get it out my pocket I answer groggily," Luke, were an hour out from you meet us at the four way, don't be late, everything is going by plan Alpha Pierce is eager to meet the last one, and for your help an scarafices he has your deal ready for you to sign once we get back." click. Luke sits up and stares at his phone, out loud he says "well this ought to be such a beautiful day today to go hunting." he smiles, Luke leaves the hotel and uses his werewolf senses to start tracking Layla's whereabouts luckily for him she went same way as the fourway, he's about a mile from the four way when her scent ver off into the woods, marking the spot so he can come back and track her he goes on to the four way and there stood Pierce's beta and his delta, "Beta Luke", the other beta walks up to Luke shakes his hand. "Beta Ryan" luke says back nodding off at the delta."Good to see you after all these years, you look almighty and beta like." Ryan says smiling, Luke smiles back but quickly changes to the look that gives off "I got bad news" look. "Luke, where's the girl you promised us she would be with you, where is she?" Ryans smile vanishing, now looking like a true powered Beta. Luke sighs heavily, "She must over heard our conversation last night, she put me to sleep and ran away. I tracked her here about a mile back she vered off into the woods, I marked the spot we can go together and find her, she can't be to far." luke suggest. A very loud growl was heard and it was coming from a very angry Ryan, "What the hell Luke, you had one job, that was to give us the girl so we can take her back to our pack our land and you get your alpha title. what the f**k do you think Alpha is going to say or better yet do. We both are in deep s**t if I don't return with the both of you." throwing his arms around and walking in circles growling and mumbling, the delta steps in and says "Beta, I will go with Luke, you and Alpha can meet up with us once you return and let him know what's happen." Ryan agrees and he heads back to his pack and the delta and I make our way back to the spot I marked, we start running following her tracks. A few hours later, we stop to take a drink from the river. Propping up on a tree catching my breath, the delta whose name is Brandon, he splashing the water on his face. "So Brandon, how does it feel to be the delta of the biggest pack in the world? how did you even get the position your like 17 right." I say scarasctically, what I got to keep up my bad guy act. " first it's delta brandon to you, and secondly I earned my spot, unlike you betrays his alpha, gets his wife rape and killed, along with the others in his pack, and lastly getting his own daughter kidnap and using magic to keep her secret from herself. sorry dude but I don't have no respect for you. In fact I was the one that said you would somehow make this whole plan go wrong, and we'll look at us" throwing his arms up in the air gestruing around." chasing her tracks around the woods looking for her because you still want to keep secrets from her. I'm sure if you would just told her the truth we all wouldn't be in this situation, once Pierce gets here who knows what's going to happen." he says while propping his self up again a tree across from me. "Look I know the wrong I've done in the past, just as I told Layla, I didn't know Barron's plans once he got into the territory, it's in the past ok. I owned up to my mistakes and still trying to figure out how to make it right with her I got played that day to you know."I truthfully say. We both close our eyes as it was now getting dark we decided to stay here and make camp. Hearing a twig break we both jump to our defense stance, hearing more and more twigs break Ryan steps sweating from head to foot, and I pretty sure his nose is bleeding. Brandon bows, I do the same it's just respect thing, Ryan speaks "Luke, Delta we caught a scent not far from here, not real sure if it's her but there is someone in the woods, we will go in the morning we are tired." "Exactly where is your alpha at? I would like to have a chat with him." I say sternly, with that he steps out into the light that the fire is giving off, so much power coming from him my wolf and I both bow down it's one of the traits you get when you are an alpha others bow to you without even have control over it, if your a strong powered alpha like Pierce even alphas bow down to him. "Alpha Pierce I want to apologize for the inconveniences, I promise we will find her and bring her to your pack, she's never been on her own, she knows how to fight thinks to me" smirking at my own remark, but looking at the lifeless angry eyes of Pierce I quickly stop smirking and go on " Layla," "QUIET, I WAS EXPECTING A LEGEND, AND HERE I AM IN THE WOODS LOOKING FOR IT. ALL BECAUSE YOU ARE RUTHLESS!" Pierce yells which felt like the ground shook at the same time thunder struck. Geno and I both tuck our tails in. Geno is my wolf by the way. "I know, sir I will find her, she doesn't know the outside world, she doesn't know how to survive on her own, even if we don't find her, she will make a way for us to find her, we have time, her wolf only speaks to her in small tongue, usually it's when she is in trouble or feel threaten, so she should be safe with that." I say walking back to the creek to get some drink. "wait, I thought her wolf or powers wouldn't come till she's nineteen, you said her birthday was 2 days ago she is only eighteen." Pierce says scooping water next to me, "Yes, but Maye and I have discovered a few times over the years where she has had small encounters with her wolf trying to talk to her, like long time ago she was almost sexually attack, she heard the man's mind and she got out in time. another time well was last night when she heard my conversation and decided to put me into a deep sleep, funny thing about that is Maye used it on her, but somehow I guess her wolf could here Maye mumble the words and remember it, last night when Layla was trying to run away, I lunged at her but before I did, she says out loud "what" and was looking like she was trying to figure out where she was hearing the voice, I lunged at her and she hollered the same word maye used." I was looking off into the fire while speaking, I look over and see Brandon asleep, Ryan prop up listening intently, and pierce looking the same as always angry, like hes always in battle with his wolf, a wolf I never ever want to come face to face with. So I just sit in silence, Ryan broke it after awhile, " So let me get this straight, were looking for a girl who is the last of her kind, has powers but can't figure it out, a powerful wolf that wants to come out and if it does get out all hell breaks lose? as to what the legends has always said. am I right or am I right." Ryan says smugly. "yes, and with her wolf being strong maybe the strongest ever of it's kind, we need to find her fast." I say, but really just want to make sure Layla is ok. We all get comfortable as possible and lay down, I hear Geno in my head for the first time in 10 years. "We will find her", smiling I fall asleep. Sometime during the night, I hear a loud scream and lighting flashes across the sky, "Layla" I hollered jumping up, "Stop Luke," Pierce deep voice steps in front of me. "Alpha with all due respect, I unfortunately know Layla's screams by heart, I have heard them every day and every night for along time now, please I have to find her." I whisper. "We are goin to find her but I need you to understand one-thing, I'm in charge and once we find her, you will not intervene when I go to take her back to my pack. understand!" "Yes,alpha." we head off to where we heard her scream. I can smell blood lots of it, and I smell rogues the ones from Barron's pack,"Oh god what if Barron's men have found her", I say almost sounding defeated, most of them wanted to either kill her, rape her, or just torture her since the day she got there. "Not much further" I hear Pierce voice from up ahead, with his power he has the best sense of smell so he's in front. We stay behind pierce for a couple hours, I try to talk to my wolf but he done cut me off again. Ill admit it felt good and so much relief to hear his voice. least I know he still there.
Alpha Pierce point of view
"AGHHHHH, That luke is a pain in my ass" I hollered throwing the lamp at the wall shattering it after Ryan comes running into my office and telling me everything what that pain in ass said about last night and how he lost the white wolf. I was going to have the white wolf here in my pack, I wouldn't let no-one harm her unlike that pathetic slee bag, I would protect her, for gods sake she was made from the moongoddess herself, powers like hers are rare and needing protecting and plus my wolf Ajax, has been pacing back and fourth in my head for days now, he's been getting impatient about something but I don't know what, everytime I try to reach out he either says "Mate is coming" or he wants to be let out so he can go find this wolf. I don't know if it's because hes anxious just as me on meeting her or if something else is bothering him. "Ryan, tell my parents were leaving to go deal with this, I'll be back as soon as I can, and let Brandon know we will be headed that way in 30 minutes we will find them. "Yes alpha," Ryan bows and leaves the office. I go to my room change into something comfy and head down to the front entrance of my palace to get ready to head out. Ryan comes out of the dinning room meeting me at the end of the stairs, "Everything is good to go, your father will deal with any problems of such while we're gone, your mother says to be careful and she loves you." Ryan quietly sys the last part, rolling my eyes we head out, we finally caught up to where Luke and Brandon were staked out, they hear us approach and Ryan steps out first then I do. After luke tells me about everything and how this girl which her name is Layla. Even her name made Ajax hears perk up and sitting up begging like a dog getting a treat or something I meantly rolled my eyes, she doesn't literally know nothing, that's very interesting. I let the guys get some rest for the night, she not far I can sense it, how not sure, but I can feel her presents. I finally get tired and was about to fall asleep when I hear a gut wretched scream, I sprang to my feet watching the lighting across the sky, and looking right at luke who looks pale and says "Layla", I see his eyes changing color if he lets his wolf take over, his wolf will only see red, that's not the way I want this to go, I need everyone on clear mind, and alert. So after getting luke to settle down and where he would follow me we headed straight for the scream. I would say that she's about 2 1/2 hours away form us, I let Ajax come to the surface so he could use his wolf senses to find out where she was, we cross rivers and hill tops, but finally the scent of heavy blood fills my nose and from a distance i see a body laying on the ground, I came to a haulted stop, Luke, Brandon and Ryan stop to we stare at the man's lifeless body, his eyes were bleeding out, his nose, ears, and deep gash marks in his stomach where his intestines were hanging out, I hear luke breath I guess he was holding it in, "Her wolf will take over in a few days, that's Ricardo one of Barron's men, He wanted layla dead for along time now, his brother is the one that set up a fake dinner and wanted to things to her." luke says taking a deep breath. "If this is her, least we know she is protecting herself." I say as we walk on Past the dead body, I mind-link Brandon
Me- Shift into your wolf go left circle around about 800 yards around check for any more rogues.
Brandon- yes alpha.
Brandon veers off to the left and is gone, Ryan who is always very good mood, I see he has his serious beta look the look of don't piss me off and everything will be alright, what can I say, he's a clown most of the time, but I can always count on him, we been best friends since birth literally we were born same day our moms are best friends, and his dad was my dad's beta, fun fact I'm 3 hours 32 minutes older than him. I mind-link Ryan
Me: I sent Brandon left 800 yards circling, I need you to go right, check it and if it's all clear I need you come back and get with me.
Ryan- yes alpha, what about Luke?
Me- use him as bait
after saying that Ryan turns his head and wickly smiles at me , I smirk and head on straight with luke.
Layla's point of view
I woke up, a couple hours ago, I been walking for awhile now, I went to stop get a drink from the creek and stop suddenly, I heard men's voices, I try to go further down it didn't do me no good I didn't even see the guy coming, he threw me into the water, holding me down under water, trying to summon my voice savior for help.Nothing. oh come on now, what did I do? I'm dying here, could use some help, there it comes the headache "Vigor", finally I thought thinking fast I grabbed the man's wrist and dug my fingers into it, he drops his hands I sprang up form the water and rasp out the word "Vigor" I felt my whole body become stronger I walked over to the man threw him hard into the tree, "usumus" the voice said I held the man with one hand and said the word, I watch as his eyes, ears, and nose bled out and he was screaming,I took a knife and gutted him, after he fell I took off running getting but only a few feet away and I was thrown into a tree, damn my wounds open up I feel the blood oozing, trying to stand back up I get a kick to the stomach, then a kick to the face. Finally after gaining my posture I glance up to see Bill, one of Barron's guards that would torture the wolves. "Oh, Barron is going to love that I got you and bringing you back, he's been going insane his wolf has done taking over, he even killed the chef for no reason", bill says "I'm never going back to barron he doesn't own me anymore" I spat at him. "Yes you will girl, when he said that 4 of Barron's men came walking out around the trees, they all are staring me down like I'm a predator right now,licking there lips, "Well if that's the case come and get me then." I proudly say, with that the one guy jumps at me and side swap him then turning and stomping my foot hard on his back, the second guy comes at me throwing a punch I dodge it, and give him a left hook, he stumbles backwards I jump on his back and take my hands and snap his neck in a second, I'm down 2, running out of breath and the pain in my head was forming, no no no not now please, I don't need this right now. Bill takes my distraction and lunges at me before I could react he done punched me a few times, and I fall to the ground, standing over me he picks me up and slams me hard into the tree again. this time my back is covered in blood, I don't know If it's the lost of blood or the fact that bill just slammed my head into the tree but I thought I heard a loud growl from somewhere. "Barron said to bring you back alive, he didn't say what we could do to you." bill says seductly, Im in so much pain right now, "Touch me, I swear onto whoever I will rip you to pieces" I venomously say. "Sweetheart you can't hurt the both of us." Bill says as him and the other guy move in closer on me, ripping there clothes off, oh god please make it fast, please to whomever kill me now I softly pray, at that moment as the men are ripping my clothes apart, the voice yells, "Effutu" I don't even question I screamed "Effutu" bolt of lightning comes down and burns the guy right where he stands, nothing but a horrible burnt smell and a fire cover body laid in front of Bill and I, Bill quickly yells, "s**t, you b***h, I'm gonna make you pay for that you evil demon." I smirk the best I can, that spell definitely took a toll on me, I feel my body wanted to just lay down and rest, but I fight it I got to get rid of Bill somehow. Trying to dodge his kicks and punches failing miserably, he kicks me so hard in the side I scream bloody murder I'm pretty sure someone could of heard me from miles away, but remembering I'm in the middle of nowhere I'm screwed. Just as I'm about to give up and surrender, I see a very large grey wolf launch on Bill, Bill Is fighting and rolling around with this wolf, I see another one of Barron's men running toward the wolf, with a knife in his hand, I reach down in my shoe an pull out a small dagger, trying to focus my aim on the guy with the dagger, but my vision getting weaker, I threw the knife I heard him yelp, I saw the wolf look over at him and with one final hit to Bill, he falls to the ground and the wolf rips his head off and throws it down, walking toward the guy I hit with the dagger, I see from the corner of my eye another wolf this one dark red, eyes train on the grey wolf, I Hollar "Watch out", the grey wolf turns his head my way, but the dark red wolf was to fast, he hit the grey wolf so hard with his body the grey wolf went flying in the air landing not far from bills lifeless body. I can't tell if he's dead or not, I hope not it saved my life. Well for a moment there at least, I look back over the dark red wolf and the guy I threw the dagger at, we're headed this way, I hit the guy in the side, he's losing alot of blood which is good, I can at least kill him off but the wolf, he's huge and not hurt at all. I pull out another dagger from my shirt and try to stand up, I'm using the tree for support, as there getting closer, the wolf backs off a little and let's the guy come to me, perfect I thought I can handle him, I guess the wolf wants to kill me. I play like I'm hurting and can't fight, to show vulnerability the guy smirks some thinking he's got the upper hand, I put the knife under my arm and wait for him to get closer, I see the grey wolf move a little good I thought, he's not dead. The man went to swing his knife at my neck, once he swung I ducked and grab the dagger from my underarm and dug it deep and slid it straight across his stomach, his whole insides covering the ground, he fell lifeless, the wolf is growling and foaming out the mouth, not really knowing what to do now, because I can barley even move, I think I've used to much spells for one day, asking the voice inside of me for help again, I get blank head, "oh perfect, you come on your own time or something," I scream in my head. Thinking away of killing this wolf, he slowly walking towards me, I see the grey wolf finally waking up, I wait till the dark red wolf lunges, as he jumps I run and slide under him taking a knife I had in my bun on my head, I slid it down his belly cutting deep, it want kill him but it will slow him, I take off running, leaving both wolves, thinking I lost the red wolf, somehow it runs straight into me from the side, "What the hell.'' I scream out, as I landed on my stomach, the wolf walks over to me, I jump up and punch it in his nose, he shakes his head and continues to try and fight me for awhile I'm playing defense, but it's wearing me down, and the wolf knows it, he rises his paw up to hit me with it, the grey wolf comes from our side rams into him, knocking him down, I take this time and take off running again, I can hear them fighting one another, then I hear a loud pitch wolf howl, sounded like one is majorly injured, I hope it ain't grey. I keep on running, trying my best to keep myself from losing moe blood, which is going horribly wrong here, I came to an opening, great a dead end, I'm standing on a cliff about 1000 feet up, "s**t,s**t,s**t" I say out loud, trying to find something anything I could use to protect myself, once the wolf finds me or better yet Barron's men I'm dead anyways, so with all the blood lost lack of water, I decided to just sit down and wait for my death. I say about 20 minutes later the red wolf comes out the trees where I came from, looking down I see the trail of blood I left behind. I mentally slap myself for that careless mistake, the wolf stands there, he's not looking to good either, "Either way, we are both dead wolf," I breathasless say. Might as well take us both out of this miserary, we jump on count of 3? The wolf just stands there, "Well hell, it was just a thought." I said shrugging my shoulders. I use the tree for support to stand up, "If I'm going to die I might as well die fighting," I say inside my head. The wolf lunges at me, jumping out the way he his claw still punctures my leg l, I fall down crying out. The wolf waits till I stand back up again, lunges at me again, this time I tucked and roll, better but the rest of my injuries, are not doing so well,. I don't even know what's bleeding anymore. I stand back up one more time, the wolf lunges, this time I put all my weight into it and ram into his chest knocking him backwards "yes" I thought, I grab a stick and use it as a weapon, the wolf gets up and comes at me I jab the stick into his body, he howls out., I hear a sound I jerk my head, the red wolf takes that and swipes me so hard I see darkness, but not before a gigantic huge black wolf jumps out rips red wolfs throat open.
