Chapter 45

I couldn't believe we got kicked out of our pack. I thought I could trust Derry. We were starting to be friends, I was training her hard thinking she was going to be the next top warrior. She was doing so well. But the next thing we knew, we were being lined up against the pack house wall. I knew somehow Derry was involved, so I only trained her on the kicks and hits, the beginners' way of fighting. The others were way ahead of her. But I don't think she ever noticed. That's the worst thing about it. She was always late. I somehow knew what was going to happen. So we got prepared for it. We figured out where Cassidy was. We sent our bags at a nearby hotel that was close to her new pack, we started seeing Alpha Drake watching us closely, and then boom! We were being lined up against the wall with Drake pacing back and forth. He admitted that Derry was the one that told him what we had planned, and we had ten minutes to get off his land, o we would be killed. We didn't even go home. Or s**t was already packed and sent off to a hotel. Theeople at the hotel told me they would keep our things safe until we got there. I knew he sent hunters after us. So once they started shooting at us. I jumped into a tree.
I waited until one was underneath the tree that I was hiding in. He had a bow and arrow. He was aiming at one of the girls. I waited. Then I jumped down on him, ripping his head off. Growling at the others, threw the head at the hunters. Then I ran off. Now we are at the hotel in the dining area, eating breakfast for the second week in a row. I was fed up and wanted a pack to be in. Or we could make our own pack, by some land on it, and then become a pack. We had forty of us, that's a start. I stood up from the table. Everyone stopped to see what I was doing. I don't understand why they want to follow me. But hey, it is what it is. Chris stood beside me, looking around. As I began to talk.
“Guys. We are away from Drake now. We can buy some land. Build on it and form our own pack. We have over forty of us. It's a start. So what do you say?” Pam stood up looking at me. I thought she was going to argue with me. But instead, she agreed.
“I agree to this only on one condition, I want you to be the alpha. You led us in the right direction, you knew what was going to happen, and you took action. Who here agrees with me?” Taking a look around , everyone stood up agreeing with Pam. I honestly thought they would want Chris to be the alpha, but nope. What do you say, Heathe? Do younna be the alpha of our new pack?” Looking at my mate then back at them. I didn't really know what to say. I was honored. But first we had to buy some land.
“Yes I agree to it but let's just hope the elders agreed to the new pack, once we were done eating. I started making phone calls. They said there is free land that no one has. It was about an hour away from Alpha Bear's pack. So I went to the bank and took what money I had to take out. Yes I had plenty. I've been saving since I was ten years old. My mother made an account for me and each week we would go and put twenty to hundred in the account. This account was hidden from everyone, including my father who had a gambling problem. We didn't know we're he was right now. But who cares as long as he didn't know where it was. I met the guy on the land that was for cell, he was one of the elders,
“I have known your mother since she was a little girl. I wish she was still around so I could see her. But I know she's happy with the moon goddess. Tell your new pack we will be back in three months. In those three months, You will need to think of a name, get the border fence up. And build your houses and the pack house. If you need money, give me a call, I will be happy to help.” It took three days to get the wood, we had to chop down trees and that helped as well. We decided to build the houses first. Then laid the pipes for water, and trust me it was hard doing that, but once we found the water source, we got it going. And then the othe tricky way is electric,. Weto pay to get poles near the land and the wiring. I was glad that it was done. Once the houses was done, we decided to build the pack house. I didn't know how many rooms we needed. So I did over forty rooms. A huge kitchen. A family room, my office, and everything that we could think of. The next tough thing to do is the furniture. Peoplewould notice trucks coming down a road that was never there before. How am I going to do this? I didn't want anyone knowing we were a new pack just yet. But here we are. So it took another two days. The elders made sure the roads were blocked off until the trucks got there. Once done we unloaded the trucks. It took half a day in a half to get everything out, i did not realize what it took to make a pack. But it was coming, so we all decided to call our pack the Blue Sky Wolf pack. It's a name we all loved. It took more than three months to get everything done. It too
Cassidy pov
It's been crazy lately. A lot of crazy. Bear has been trying to swoon me. He took me out to a candlelight dinner a few weeks ago. Soft music was playing we were by ourselves in this Italian restaurant, this place was really nice, the lights were dim, we were eating when he looked up smiling at me,
“I really don't want to ruin the mood, but you have been doing amazing in training. I'm so proud of you. Even the pack had said so. He took my right hand, holding it on his.
“Listen. I know you aren't sure about this marking each other, but any time you want to talk about it. I'm here. I know you're worried about your friends. I promise you, I have my trackers looking for them, ok? He was rubbing the top of my hand with his thumb. He didn't ruin the moment at all, I was enjoying his company. I had to admit that Cady has been trying to get in between us. She is annoying as h3ll. But I have plans for this girl. She's not going to like it. Just let her keep doing what she's doing.
“You didn't ruin the mood at all. You had your thoughts. You wanted to share them with me. I'm enjoying your company. I wasn't sure about the marking because we did it too fast. It was just too soon. But i see that you're trying, and I want you to know I have noticed.”
“I'm happy you noticed, I'm not giving up on us. I've waited years. At first, I didn't want a mate. It's the reason why I tried to hide my scent and the sparks from you. I wanted my pack strong, I wanted my mate to love me for me, not because we are mates. I didn't want the pull of the bond to pull us together that way. I wanted us to come together because we loved each other, not because of the bond.” Was this guy for real. That's how I felt. I wanted someone to love me for me. Not because of some bond. Yes, I liked him a lot. My feelings were growing.
“You know, that's how I felt. I wanted someone to love me for me. Not because of this mate bond. I have to admit my feelings are growing for you, but don't do things you think I want you to do. I want you to do the things you do because you want to. Not because you have to. Be you. Don't change because you think that's what I want you to do, be the alpha you need to be not what I need you to be,” he reached over the table softly kissing me then he ate in silence.i can tell Bear is a good man, but I don't want him to be changing anything about himself for me he needs to stay the way he is. When dinner was over he paid the bill, we decided to head home to watch a movie in the theater room, but when we got back home, another car was in the parking armeanear the gate, the guards wouldn't let them through,
