Run Away Alpha

10- Time Flys

Fins POV

    "Paris calm down."

    "Calm down?! CALM DOWN?! Do you know what we just did?!" She snarled at me, clearly upset.

    "I know babe, I regret it too but what else could we do? Your uncle is coo-coo in the head."

    "He's not crazy Fin, he's strategic and he knows all of my weaknesses. And because of that our future is in danger and our kids will die."

    "Babe, stop packing and look at me."

    I carefully grabbed the pictures from her hands, sitting them on the bed. Gently tilting her head up so I could see her eyes. 

    "There's no point in feeling guilty now. The deal has been made and will be final for as long as it takes to fulfill it. Until then, we will live life to the fullest. Love our kids, our family, for as long as we can. Ten years may not seem like enough, but at least we still have time. We will be rouge for a few months and then settle in the last place they will think to look for us."

    "Fin." Paris sobbed, finally letting her guard down and showing her true emotions.

    "It's okay, I'm here."

Paris POV

    "Come on boys, it's time." I called from the living room, waiting for them to come downstairs.

    "Why do we have to go if we won?" Eric pouted, clearly upset about having to leave his new friends.

    "We are just taking a vacation. After stressful times it's good to step back and take a look at the good things in life." Fin said smiling while picking up Eric.

    "Can't we bring our friends?" Alex sighed, looking up at me with his best wolf eyes.

    For those of you who don't know, their friends are orphans from the fight. Whenever you go to war you take in the newly orphaned pups and if you are big enough you can take in the previously orphaned pups at the defeated pack.

    "How many are there?" I sighed, giving into his cute little pout.

    "Six." I shivered hearing the number. It's going to be hard to take care of eight kids on the run.

    "We can do it babe. It's only a few months at the max."

    "Fine, tell them to hurry up and pack lightly."

    The boys quickly ran outside to the orphanage to get them. Guess we have no choice but to take the car now. I furrowed my brows, going deep in thought about how to hide all of our scents.

    "We can take my car, it's at the other pack house though. I already have scent neutralizers on it and a few extra necklaces in the glove compartment." Fin whispered in my ear making me jump.

    "Don't scare me like that." I mumbled, putting my hand over my chest.

    "Just relax, we will figure everything out when the time comes."

-- -- --

    "Get in the car." I said sternly at the eight pups running around the car. If I don't go crazy by the time we find a pack I will be amazed.

    "Just think of it as practice. We are going to have a bunch of our own some day."

    "At this rate, these kids are my birth control so good luck with that." I mumbled, getting in the drivers seat.

    After everyone got settled in Fins car I reeved the engine. Quickly putting it in reveres and backing out of the drive way. I took a deep breath, letting my eyes turn gold as my senses grew stronger. Keeping my eyes closed I rolled down all the windows and smelled the air. 

    "Left, Right, behind." Lizzy informed me making my heart race.

    'Are they leading us to a pack?'

    "No, they are telling us which ones aren't safe." 

    'Ask them how far straight.'

    "Go to Mexico, there will be a Cartel called Santiago."

    'Alright, thanks Liz. Thank them for me.'

    "You okay?" Fin asked, turning my head to face him.

    "Yeah, just talking to them." I nodded to the sides of the car. The wolves stepped out of the woods, forming a U around the car.

    I could feel Fin stiffen as the kids finally shut up and stared out the window. I bowed my head slightly to the wolves causing them to do the same before retreating to the woods.

    "What did they want?" Eric asked nervously from the back.

    "For you guys to learn Spanish."

    I turned back to the road, letting my instincts tell me where to go. The smell of horse s**t and cow guts leading me to Texas. This is the only place we can stop. Just in case someone could catch our scents Texas can hide them.

    "Get out." I told Fin, giving him 'the look' so he doesn't ask questions.

    I waited a few minutes before rolling down the window to see if I could catch his scent. All I got was a slap in the face by the smell of raw s**t and almost threw up. I quickly changed my senses to human level so the smell wouldn't be so bad.

    "Kids wake up, it's time to get out." I said gently, turning off the car and opening my door.

    I opened the back door and waited for the smell of s**t to wake them up as I changed clothes. After I finished getting dressed I shut the drivers door and looked in the back of the car. I looked around, searching for the kids but couldn't find them. Quickly shutting the door and locking the car I called Fin.

    "Where are they?" I asked, slowly starting to panic. 

    "They are inside Reds with me. They don't know how to change their senses yet so the s**t smell is overwhelming them."

    "Alright, don't scare me like that again." I sighed, hanging up the phone.

Fins POV

    "So how long are we staying here?" I asked the gorgeous woman sitting across from me.

    "A few weeks, maybe a month. I want to make sure the kids know Spanish before we get to Mexico."

    "Okay... Why Mexico?"

    "Santiago." Paris mumbled making me think about what she said.

    "Who is Santiago? A family member or something?"

    "Fanke Santiago, Paris' ex fiancee." Alex blurted out.

    "Why are we going to see him?"

    "Let's just say that he owes me." Paris said between gritted teeth, clearly wishing Alex never said something.

    "What's a fiancee?" Some little girl spoke up.

    "It's what you are going to be to me." Alex said before looking at me, telling me not to tell her.

    "Eric, who do you want to be your fiancee?" Paris asked, gaining my curiosity.

    "Lou Santiago." Eric mumbled.

    She sounds cute, like a little girl with pig-tails or something. I smiled at him while Paris dropped her fork. I looked at her weird as she just stared at Eric in disbelief. 

    "What?" I asked her, she just smiled weakly and left the table.

    I heard a phone buzz and notice Paris forgot hers. Thinking it might be important I grabbed her phone to see who it's from.

    Fanke: Hey babe, heard they told you to come to me. Larry and Lou are going to meet you at the station on the 16th next month. Here's a picture so you know what they look like now. 

    I clicked on the picture to see a middle aged man with dark brown hair and a few grey roots. the second picture is a kid that's about ten with blue eyes, cute button nose, and messy blonde hair. Lou is a boy...

    "Don't worry about it Eric, I'm sure she will be fine." I said trying to cheer him up.

    "Mom doesn't like anything about me does she?"

    "Of course she does Eric... She loves you to pieces, you just surprise her sometimes. Maybe if you told her how you felt sooner she would have been happy for you."

    "Maybe..."

-- -- --

Paris POV

    "Fanke!" I screamed as he picked me up and kissed me.

    "I missed you babe."

    "I missed you too." I mumbled into his chest.

    "I want you to meet your son." He whispered into my ear causing my heart to clench.

    "This is Louis."

    I started to cry as I saw his cute face. I haven't seen him since the day I gave birth to him. My little Lou....

    "Who is this?" Lou asked

    "This is your Aunt Paris." Right... He doesn't know.

    "So how old is he again?" I asked, looking at Fanke even though I already knew.

    "He's six, turning seven tomorrow though." Fanke said, tickling Lou.

    "Yeah..." I said sadly, trying not to think about the fact I lost both of my kids the same day.

    'Eric and Lou.' Lizzy mourned for the millionth time.

    Putting a fake smile on I looked at the two of them again.

    "So what's the plan?"

-- -- --

    'That's what happens when you sleep with two people Paris.' Lizzy said, clearly pissed.

    'It's not my fault. I didn't know I'd get pregnant with both.' I countered, trying to fix my makeup so they can't tell I was crying.

    'You have to tell them.'

    'As long as they don't fall in love with each other I don't have to tell them.'

    'Won't their birthdays and the instant bond they form be a give away?'

    'They're kids, they'll think it's cool.'

    'Then at least tell Fin. He has a right to know.'

    'No.' I quickly blocked our link and walked back to our table. 

    Sitting down next to Eric and wrapping my arms around him. "Im sorry."

    "Don't apologize, it's my fault... I just want to protect you." I kissed his head while holding my tears back.

    I always knew Eric was sensitive but damn. I really didn't think my reaction would hurt him this much. I'm glad I have at least one of my boys back though. Maybe I should tell them though... But it's not up to me to tell, it's up to Fanke.

-- -- --

    "What was that about?" Fin asked when we were finally alone in our side of the penthouse.

    "There's something nobody but Fanke knows, and I don't know how to tell you."

    I sat down on the bed, rubbing my temples. I can feel a headache coming on from Liz trying to open the link and tell me 'I told you so.' Feeling the bed dip I looked over to see Fin looking at me intensely.

    "You have a thing for him?"

    "It's complicated." I sighed, grabbing my bag for some painkillers.

    "Fankes real name is Franklin Mike Santiago. He is the leader of the Santiago Cartel and he also owns a pack. When our parents were alive they made an arrangement for us to get married. At first we hated the idea but as we got older our bond got stronger. I was still messing around with Jacob and that's when s**t hit the fan.

    Junior year I came to Mexico to call off the engagement because I just found out I was pregnant. I knew it was Jacobs kid so the deal would be off and I would be killed along with the baby. But Fanke loved me, he wouldn't let them kill me. So we had s*x, lots and lots of s*x until I was pregnant with his kid too. 

    Fanke saved me from my own mistake, and in return we made our own mistakes."

    I sat down on the bed again. Taking medication while waiting for him to explode. But surprisingly he never went off. So I had to look over at his shell-shocked face and snap my fingers in front of him.

    "That's why you flipped out? What happened between you two? He still calls you babe so there's still something there right? Was I the back up plan? Are you going to go to him again?"

    "Calm down Fin. I'll explain everything just breathe." I sighed while watching him breathe deeply a few times.

    "Nobody knows that I had twins, yet alone from different guys. I flipped out because if I don't tell them they might fall in love with each other. As far as Fanke and I go we are nothing. We weren't mates and that's why we ended. We both found ours and his mate is a guy. The only time I saw Lou was seven years after I let him go to Santiago. He thinks I am his Aunt, do you know how painful that is? It's like watching the one you love and did everything for shoot you in the face and watch you die with an evil smile."

    I sobbed into my hands, unable to look at anything while I break down. It's going to be so hard facing that family with only two people knowing the truth. My heart is going to break every second that I'm there, and if I have to be there the entire ten years I'm f****d.

    "I am, and always will be here for you Paris. You need to talk to Fanke and let the truth out. But if you can't then we will leave as soon as possible, I promise."

    I looked over at Fin and gave a weak smile. "You know care for you right?"

    "Of course I do, but I care for you more." He said smiling.

-- -- --

Fins POV

    "I know I said these kids would be my birth control, but I really want one of our own now." Paris whispered in my ear as we drive to meet up with the Santiagos.

    "Last time I checked you already had eight." I said smiling while looking in the mirror at the eight of them asleep in a dog pile.

    "Yeah but I want one that looks like you." She whined while giving me her big green eyes. She has definitely learned puppy eyes from these kids.

    "Are you hinting at having a day to ourselves in the hopes of having a mini us running around a few months later?" I asked, lifting my right eyebrow at her.

    "Possibly." She answered, slightly smirking at me while changing her eye color to every color imaginable. Once they reach my favorite color she bites her lip while lifting her eyebrow. "What do you want?"

    "You... Always and forever you." Paris smirked while turning back to the road. I tried to compose myself while driving the last ten minutes to this so called station.

-- -- --

    "Hey Louis." Paris smiled sweetly at the kid making the kid look sad.

    "What happened to calling me Lou?" He asked, giving her the saddest blue eyes possible.

    "Aren't you getting too old for that? I mean you are about to be in the double digits." Paris smirked at him waiting for his answer.

    "You're family, I will never be too old for you to call Lou." He smiled brightly at her as if he just won the lottery.

    Paris picked him up and spun him around while tickling him and repeating "Lil Lou." Everyone walking by stopped to look at the two before shaking their heads and walking away. After Paris put Lou down she looked over at Larry and they eyed each other before Lou stepped between them. I can definitely feel the hatred between the two which makes me think he knows the truth about Louis. This will be an interesting few days to say the least.

    "Paris, who are the people with you?" Larry asked, looking disgusted at all of us.

    "You think all the time with your owner would've taught you some manners." She snarled at him.

    "Pair, will you at least tell me?"

    "I brought my son Eric, brother Alex, and mate Fin. The other six you'll have to ask, I get them mixed up all the time."

    "I'm Jasmine!" A short haired red-head said happily, she looked around three.

    "Erica." A tan brunette around five said.

    "Haze." A shaggy haired  boy around the age of seven said.

    "Lacey." A cute little blonde, about four said.

    "Karma." A boy around eight said. He was hidden by a hoodie but from what I remember he has dyed blue hair and green eyes.

    "Joey." A ten year old with wavy blonde hair said.

    "Lacey and Joey are brother and sister, Beta kids." Eric said sounding confident with his description.

    'I want to adopt all of them, especially Karma.' I sent to my link with Paris making her look at me weirdly.

    'I was just thinking that.' She sent back, turning her attention back to Larry.

    "If you touch any of these kids, you are dead. Got it?" Paris spoke in a deadly tone making the air around us tense. I wonder what happened between them.

    After a long silence I heard windows breaking and felt a strong aura around us. "I said are we clear?" Paris asked again and with every word a building would collapse. Dude better hurry up and answer.

    "We are clear." Larry grunted while looking at her with pure hatred.

    "Watch who you look at like that." Paris and I growled at the same time.

    "Kids, get in the car, you too Louis." I said calmly.

    Once the three of us were alone I walked closer to Paris.

    "Just because you're under your mates protection does not mean you are safe. When you least expect it I will kill you." Paris growled at the man.

    "You said that three years ago sweetheart. I'd like to see you try. What I do with my son is none of your business."

    "He is not your son and if I have to I will fight you in court until he is mine and never yours again."

    "This is Mexico, you have no power here." Larry said with a smirk.

    "That might have been true three years ago but it's not anymore. I will make you beg for mercy before I end your life."

    "If you kill me you'll kill Fanke too. The mate bond is a powerful thing."

    "If I can survive it three times he can survive it twice." Paris grunted before walking away.

    Three times?

Paris' POV

    "Fanke, come now or I will rip your throat out." Paris yelled while walking into the house.

    I looked at the kids in the mirror and sighed. "Whatever happens, protect each other. Louis, stay with Alex and Eric so nothing bad happens to you." 

    I opened the doors and let everyone go into the house. However I pulled my camera out of the glove compartment and looked at the pictures on it. Leaning against the car and clicking to the right to look at the rest of the pictures. The day at the lake house with the three of them her car and Paris looking as flawless as ever. That's my mate, my forever.

    Someone slapped the camera out of my hand causing me to growl, only to look up and see Larry looking at me smugly. 

    "Get your mate and ugly pups out of here and never come back again." He said sharply as if I was going to listen to him.

    "One, they aren'y ugly, they are the most amazing things ever. Two, we aren't leaving without BOTH of Paris' sons. Three, you will not live to see another day if you ever talk to Paris like that again. And fourth, you will NEVER touch another kid the way you used to touch Louis." I growled out, letting my eyes change to their natural golden brown color. 

    Larry let out a growl before shifting, making me laugh at his small grey wolf. I let my laughter get the attention of many people around us as he growled at me. Once he let out a deep growl I gave him my attention while taking off my jacket. I'm not even going to bother shifting for this pathetic mutt.

    Letting out a deep growl I stepped closer to him, daring him to attack me. I could hear more and more people coming to form a circle around us. Raising an eyebrow at him I got into a fighting stance as he circled around me.

    I could hear his breathing get faster, making me aware of his soon-to-be attack. I quickly turned around and punched his muzzle, making him fly into a group of people. I smirked as I smelt the blood coming from his muzzle.

    "Eric, don't let Louis see this." I said using my body to block their line of sight.

    "Alright." He said before pinning Louis down so he couldn't see anything but the sky.

    I felt a sharp pain in my side, telling me I've just been bitten. I clenched my jaw as my hands wrapped around his muzzle. I tightened my grip, slowly breaking his mouth and jaw as I stared into his eyes. I slowly started to smile as his bones started to snap in my grip.

    "Babe, stop." My heart started pounding when I heard her voice. That sweet angelic voice.

    I let go of him as he yelped in pain and as soon as I saw my mates eyes I knew he would get worse than what I just did to him.

    "Finish him already Paris, I'm tired of looking at him." 

    "Chill your horses. I've wanted to do this for a long time Fanke."

    Paris licked her lips as she walked over to Larry who hasn't noticed her. "Such a shame I couldn't have been the one to break that ugly face of yours." Paris pouted as Larry finally noticed her. A broken growl came from his throat causing her to click her tongue. "Such a shame you don't know when to give up Mutt."

    "Quit toying with him and get it over with Paris."

    "Call off the bond then Fanke, this is going to hurt you more than me."

    "I, Franklin Santiago, Alpha of the Golden Trident pack reject you, Larry Harris, servant of the Golden Trident pack, as my mate." Fanke said with deep hatred while looking at Larry.

    Larry's eyes say it all. He truly loved Fanke, even if he didn't seem to show it. I truly hope this will never happen to me and Paris.

    Paris looked down as Larry with so much hatred it was ridiculous. However, the amount of force that she used to punch his face was even more unbelievable. Like holy s**t, I'd s**t myself if someone hit me like that. It instantly broke the rest of his snout and jaw, yet alone the brain damage it caused.

    "I see you bit my mate." Paris mumbled while glancing at my leg, "You're going to regret that." Her nails quickly extended into claws as she dragged them from his abdomen all the way down to the bottom of his paws. She did it four times to each paw, but he surprisingly didn't die from all the blood loss. Instead he survived her slitting his stomach and finally died after she slit his throat.

    I looked at the beautiful woman standing in front of me. Covered in blood, red eyes, messy hair, but the most amazing smile ever. "Your eyes are red." I mumbled into her ear causing her to giggle.

    "Only one way to fix it." She said, smirking and licking her claws. And she didn't lie, it made her eyes turn hazel green again.

    "Now go shower. I'll go make the kids dinner so nobody here poisons us." I whispered causing her to laugh and kiss me.

    "Alright, but I'm bringing the camera with me. Nobody is going to ruin my memories with all of you." she said, bending down to get the camera from the grass.

    I carefully watched every little movement she took. Because believe it or not, her killing Larry made me so turned on. "Go make dinner then come to our room." She said, winking before leaving.

-- -- --

Paris' POV

    "Best s*x ever." I sighed, smiling up at Fin.

    "I love you Paris."

    "You what?" I asked shocked, sitting up.

    "I said, I love you." Fin repeated, looking into my eyes.

    There was an awkward silence before Fin looked away and started to get up. I just watched him. I watched as he got a pair of boxers from his bag, pulled a shirt over his head, and slipped into a pair a jeans. I just sat there on the bed, watching in shock as he left the room.

    He can't love me, not after what I did to our future kids. Not after I was willing to leave him and my family less than two months ago. I don't have the right to be loved.

-- -- --

    "Where is Fin?" I asked after changing into exercise clothes.

    "Depends on what you are going to do to him Paris." Fanke looked up at me with an intense look.

    "It's none of your business Fanke, where is my mate?" I asked while extending my canines, waiting for him to interfere again.

    "He went out to see the town with Bailey."

     I let out a growl before leaving the house. Bailey has got to be the biggest slut in history, why the f**k would he let her show my mate around? I kept growling as I started to run faster and faster. Just the thought of her being in the same universe as him irritates me, yet alone her actual presence.

    As soon as my eyes landed on him my anger went away a bit. His smile as he was looking at figurines was just too adorable and genuine. But that all changed when I saw her. Bailey was wearing fishnets with a mini skirt and a bra, not even a sports bra. Leave it to her to look like a hooker and stand out like a stripper poll. 

    "Bailey, get your crumby paws off my mate." I hissed while walking closer to Fin.

    "What are you going to do about it? You have no power here princess, not anymore." She smirked as she leaned into Fins chest.

    I rolled my eyes at her before turning my attention to Fin. "Babe, I'm sorry it's just-"

    "Paris, I don't care why you didn't say it. No matter what your reason is it still hurts." Fin explained while looking at me with a pained expression.

    "No, Fin you don't understand. I don't deserve any of this. I don't deserve Eric, or Alex, and I definitely don't deserve you. But I did deserve Jacob, and I deserved Travis, I deserved my parents dying. And maybe I deserved this, but I'm telling you that you don't deserve me."

    I could see Bailey smirk at me putting my guard down but I don't regret it. He deserves to know the truth, even if he leaves me for it.

    "Don't cry baby, please." Fin whispered as he wrapped his arms around me. "You deserve everything good, including me and the boys."

    "I was going to leave." I mumbled hoping he wouldn't hear me. but I knew he did.

    "When?" 

    "The day of the fight. I didn't want you or the boys to get hurt so I was going to hide you away. And with the bounty I thought it'd be easier if I just died instead of putting all of you in danger. But Toby was going to tell you so he made me settle on something else."

    "The thrown?" I nodded as I buried my face into his chest, afraid to see his reaction.

    "You were willing to risk yourself for us like a true leader. That's just one of the many things I love about you Paris." He whispered while kissing my head.

    "So you don't want to leave me?"

    "Of course not, but I definitely want pups now."

    I looked up at his face for the first time since I got here. His eyes were shining bright, a happy smile on his face and an aura of confidence was coming from him.

    I love this man.

-- -- --

    "Where are you taking me?"

    "That's the millionth time you've asked Fin, and for the millionth time, you will see when we get there."

    We've been walking for about two hours and we are literally six hundred feet from the spot I want to show him. It's a long hike and definitely would have been faster in wolf form but I figured it should be a surprise. 

    "Okay, open your eyes."

    As soon as he opened his eyes he let out a gasp. We were standing in the middle of a forest, there was a natural clearing that left a gap so you could see the stars. To the left of the clearing there is a hot spring and to the right there is at table I set up myself. There was flowers, a candle, his favorite food, and a few pictures that he hasn't seen yet.

    "Do you like it?" I asked nervously as he kept looking at everything.

    "It looks and smells amazing babe." He said with a smile, wrapping his arm around my waist. "What's the occasion?"

    "You'll find out soon." I said with a smile before leaving a quick peck on his cheek and pulling away from him.

    I skipped over to the table before sitting down and patting the seat next to me. Fin cautiously walked over to me and sat down. Grabbing his hand I led it to a face down picture, placing his hand on top of it. I watched his facial expression as he slowly turned over the picture. At first he was confused, his eyebrows furrowed as a few wrinkles appeared on his pretty little forehead. But then he finally understood what he was looking at as his eyes widened and he looked at me, completely shocked.

    "I know we keep doing stuff out of order, but for once I want to do something right. So, Fin, will you marry me?" I asked as I got on one knee and looked into his gorgeous brown eyes. Slowly pulling out my parents wedding rings and showing them to him.

    After a long silence I started to stand up. "I know, it was a stupid idea. Who would want to marry someone who made them go on the run? Especially since we've been living with my ex-fiancee for almost a year. My timing isn't perfect." 

    I kept going on and on until Fin pulled me into a tight hug. Is he feeling sorry for me? I hate this, this was a mistake.

    "Of course I will marry you Paris. But promise it won't be until after the twins are born."

    "How did you know they were twins? All I showed you a picture of was a pregnancy test." 

    "I heard their heartbeats two weeks ago. Which means it took you two weeks to come up with this didn't it?"

    "Maybe." I mumbled, completely embarrassed. 

    "Don't be embarrassed Babygirl, let's celebrate together before we tell everyone."

    With that said we started to eat everything I prepped for tonight which consisted of ribs, lamb, pork, steak, eggs, cake, ice cream, lasagna and carrots. Sure it might not sound good to you but may I remind you that we are wolves? And that I'm pregnant and have weird cravings.

-- -- --

    "Okay so the boys are in the porch with me, the twins will be in the Ferrari with you."

    "Our stuff is being flown in when we get there and will be ready to go to the mansion when we get to the pack."

    "I feel like we are forgetting something still." I said while scratching the back of my head.

    "The other kids are with their represented territories, we didn't forget anything."

    "Fine, what's the pack called again?" I asked for the millionth time, for some reason it's just not sticking in my head.

    "Golden Trident Pack. You are the new Luna you better remember when we have a group discussion." Fin scolded earning him an eye roll.

    "Alright dad, just get in the car, I'll grab the twins."

    "I can help get them."

    "Fin, they are two, I don't need help when I have an alpha voice."    

    "Boys get over here!" I ordered when I saw them run in the opposite direction.

    They quickly came over to me as I crossed my arms. "Get in my car and be nice to each other. Don't get out of the car unless I tell you to." I watched as they left to the car as a light bulb went off in my head. Toys, they need toys or they will drive me crazy.

    Quickly running upstairs I grabbed what was left in the play room and brought it to the car. I gave the boys a stuffed animal and threw the rest of the toys in the back seat. Quickly buckling them up and getting in the drivers seat I drove off to Arkansas, USA. The country I haven't been in for nearly four years.
