My Own Destiny

The DuPonts

Thursday Morning After Auora’s Leaving

Jullian

I was sick of my father’s lectures. He was so worried I would screw this thing up with Aurora.

As if she had a choice, her father was our little b***h and would do as we said to avoid conflict.

My father was a hypocrite, he screwed different females within the pack all the time.

It had been a busy week; I should have called her sooner. Guess I need to do a little sweet talking after last weekend.

It’s not like I had the hots for that she-wolf. I was just horny, and the she-wolf offered to fulfill my needs.

Once Aurora was willing, I probably wouldn’t cheat, I just needed someone to take care of my needs at the time.

In all honesty, I had little interest in she-wolves like that b***h that stayed the night with me.

She was weak, she only wanted me because I am an Alpha.

She was weak and girly, unlike Aurora.

Aurora was beautiful and feminine, but she was not weak. My father always said he picked Aurora for me, for our pack, because she was strong. I had little faith in his words, even after first meeting her.

At least until training, she eventually showed me her strength.

I thought about what I would say when I finally called. I was to visit their pack for the weekend and planned to leave early tomorrow afternoon.

I picked up my cell phone and pulled up Aurora’s name and pressed her name to call her. I fully expected her to give me an attitude, possibly curse me out or worse, what I did not expect was to hear a male voice on the other end say, “Hello?”

I was caught off guard and pulled the phone away. Did I call the wrong number?

Sure enough, it was Aurora’s name on the screen.

“Who the F**k is this?” I asked.

“Woah Dude, chill…” The voice started saying.

“Is this Lucian?” I asked. My Wolf Bullet was tearing at the surface, wanting to be set free.

Another male answered her cell phone, Bullet was furious.

“What, no dude, is that who’s phone this is?” I heard the male voice say on the other end say, sounding like a wanna be surfer.

“This phone belongs to my fiancée.” I managed to growl out.

“Ohhh, Like Lucian is your fiancée?”

“No, you nitwit, Aurora is my fiancée and I called her phone.”

“I don’t know this Aurora or Lucian, but like, I just got home dude and I found this phone, like in my pack.”

“What do you mean found the phone?” I was confused.

“I traveled to the East coast to visit friends.”

“Where were you?” I asked, anxious to figure out what was going on.

“Well, I was in Rhode Island, but like, traveled by bus and hitched most of the way back home. Maybe someone thought it was their pack.”

To my wolf, ‘You think this was on purpose, don’t you?’

‘Yes!’ Bullet growled.

I hung up, this nitwit wasn’t going to be of any use to me.

‘Something is wrong, I think Aurora is running.’ I mind-linked my father.

‘What the H**l, I’m busy!’ Was his reply at first.

A few seconds later, ‘Meet me at my office in ten.’

He probably had one of his females with him, it has been almost a nightly occurrence with him lately.

I know he misses my mother, but I could not understand why he never took another mate, leaving our pack without a Luna all these years.

I didn’t wait and made my way straight to his office. I would just sit and wait. I was anxious to get to the bottom of this.

After several minutes, my father opened the door, looking surprised to see me sitting there waiting.

He looked a bit disheveled, which only confirmed my suspicions that he was with one of the she-wolves.

“What makes you think Aurora has run off?” My father began as he sat behind his desk.

I explained the situation about her phone and how some stranger had it.

“I’m sure there is just some sort of mix-up.” My father said dismissively as he picked up the phone.

He punched in a number and put the phone on speaker.

“Hello, this is Mr. Ferrari’s line.” Said the voice over the speaker.

“Hello dear, this is Jacques DePont, I need to speak with Nathanial.”

“He was in a meeting, let me check to….” The female started but my father cut her off.

“Tell him it is Alpha DePont and to get on the phone, now!” My father growled into the phone.

The female didn’t bother to answer my father and apparently put us on hold as some soft music played.

In the matter of just a couple minutes, Alpha Nathanial was on the line.

“Hello.”

“Tell me why my son tried calling his future mate and some random male answered her phone.”

I heard the hesitation on the other end and balled my hands into fists in anticipation, knowing I was going to be pissed.

Nathanial finally responded, “I did not want to worry you right away but it seems Aurora has run away.”

“What!” My father yelled before I even had a chance to react.

“When did this happen?” He asked, as I stood and started pacing.

“Monday morning it was discovered she had left.”

“My son is due there tomorrow afternoon and you did not feel the need to inform us? We could have been out looking for her for days already.”

“I understand both of your concerns, but I wanted to handle this delicately. My daughter was very upset on Sunday when you both left.”

I slammed my hands down on the desk, “Don’t blame this on me that you cannot keep your daughter under control!”

I heard a low growl on the other side of the phone, and so help me, he was lucky we were on the phone and that he was not standing in front of me.

“You hurt my daughter; you are lucky that we are still agreeing to this arrangement.”

“Your daughter is a tease, but I let that go. I have now committed myself to her and her alone. I have even stopped bedding she-wolves within my own pack, they need to know I am now spoken for. I want Aurora respected by my pack.”

I heard Nathanial scoff at my words, “Where was that respect on Saturday night?”

“You have no..” I started to defend myself, when my father held his hand up.

“This will get us nowhere; we are on our way.”

“We have this under control.” That incompetent Alpha said on thephone said

“I do not care; we have more contacts and resources. We will be there in about three hours.” My father said and hung up, not giving Alpha Nathanial a chance to argue further.

I had so many questions. Did that bas***d Lucian run off with her, like her little lap dog? Or did he know where she was?

I bet he wouldn’t give information up easily. Would my father allow me to beat it out of him?

I have known Aurora was mine since before puberty, she belonged to me and everyone knew it, Lucian knew it, yet he followed her around like a little puppy dog, hanging on her every word, drooling over her like a mindless i***t.

I had grown to agree with my father, she was strong and worthy to be my mate and our Luna, and I was not going to stand by and let that be torn from me.
