Warrior to my Alpha

2

My dad looked over at the two us and rushed over knocking waitresses out of the way. I looked down horrified as Xylander stood up to meet the man halfway. There was shouting happening behind me and I was just frozen. Every inch of me wanted to run but my feet wouldn’t move. All of a sudden I felt a hand grab my shoulder and then pulled me away. I looked back behind me as this man pulled me away to see Xylander and my dad screaming at each other not one of them noticing my disappearance. This man pushed me into the back seat of a suv and drove off quickly.

When I was able to catch my breath I looked up into the rear view mirror to find ice blue eyes like mine staring back. His brown hair loosely flowing in a shaggy form around his face. He spoke, the words soothing and comforting reminding me of someone from my past.

“I’m sorry to pull you away and into a car but that was a dangerous situation you got yourself into… Ione.” My name rolling off his tongue as my eyes filled with fear. Who was he and how did he know me? My whole body started to shake and my lips where trembling. I held back the tears and fear in my voice as I spoke but only a whisper was able to come out

“How do you know my name…?” I looked down in fear I was captured by the man that made my dad have to move out of our city. I slowly looked up as the silence of my question lingered to see him staring daggers at me. I couldn’t help but stare back at him something telling me to trust this man with my life. He slowly softened his gaze on me as we gave me a cheeky smile. His lips trembled a little.

“We are here.”

I got out the car as he rushed over to my side. His hand slowly guiding me away from the car. I looked at the mysterious man. His ice blue eyes warm and content as his shaggy brown hair swayed in the wind. His hand gently grazed my skin as I looked at him fully. His muscular arms where covered in tattoos, some peaking out where his collar bone meets his neck. His navy blue shirt barely containing the ripples of abs he had underneath. A long scar shredding across his right arm in a twist. His plump pink lips quivering as a black hoop runs through the left side. He smiles at me dazzling white teeth with very sharp canines. I can’t help but smile back. He exhaled slowly before speaking

“Ione, im sorry I dragged you away and im sorry I couldn’t say my name in the car. That was rude of me. My name is Lyall.” I stared at him blankly still questioning how he knows my name. He looks down awkwardly before speaking again.

“I took you away to protect you. I brought you to our pack house in hopes you will soon see this as a safe place to get away.” He smiles at me and tries to display comfort.

“How do you know my name?” I ask aggressively. He looks down in pain I didn’t take him up on kindness.

“Who wouldn’t know the new girls name after disappearing from school.” He said sheepishly. He took my hand and led me through the trees.

We came to an opening of a meadow. In the middle was a mansion overlooking the sea. Lyall let go of my hand as I stood there staring at the beauty in front of me. I sat in the middle and let the breeze carry the scent of the ocean mixed with dew into my body. I was in complete awe at the surrounding. I looked back to see Lyall smiling at me like one would smile at a sibling. Suddenly the sound of a wolf howling in the distance got me on my feet and Lyall stood in front of me to where the howl came from. Suddenly four wolves emerged from the opening trotting Into the meadow. They layed down a few feet from Lyall and i as they started to roll around in the grass. I looked up at Lyall as he smiled at the wolves with envy. One of the wolves looked up and I swore it smiled back at him. He took my hand as I was trembling from being ten feet away from wolves again. He led me inside as the wolves ran around the meadow playing.

When we entered the smell of cinnamon filled my lungs as the wooden walls surrounded me. I walked in further to see steps leading down to the den. Three gray couches all looking out a window. The one in the middle looking at the ocean as the sun started to set. The colorful sky coming to life as the wolves where still playing amounts themselves. The window towards the right showed the dark forest with fireflies making the only light. To the left you could see a pathway where Lyall and I came from. Lyall spoke startling me as I was completely overwhelmed with the beauty.

“You can stay here tonight if you like. I can have one of my roommates pick up your car from the school parking lot. It’ll be safer then with that man.” I turned to stare at him in question.

“What do you mean that man?” He sighed.

“Your father. He’s not a good man Ione. He has killed many of my and my roommates family members. Xylander is the last of his family. He watched them all die at the age of five. You have to understand he wasn’t gonna let the man escape.” Sorrow filled his eyes and I realize my dad might be part of the mob but he’s done more then I know of. Ruining peoples lives. Maybe he’s the reason my mom died. Not from her giving birth to me but from other circumstances. I took Lyall’s hand and hugged him apologizing over and over again for my fathers mistakes. He just stood there frozen as I silently cried for the faults my father has done. Lyall finally pulled away and made me sit on the couch facing the pathway. As he sat watching the forest behind me. He had a very stern look and when he spoke it wasn’t as soothing as it was before.

“Ione… you need to stay here. I know you just moved here and you have no idea what is happening and what your father has done but it’s no longer safe for you. The second your father moved you here you’ve been a target for so many.” He paused watching my face like he’s searching for answers.

“Your dad is called of a lot. Most call him the blood king cause no amount of blood spill has ever stopped him before. It like, it makes him crave more.” He stopped as two headlights pulled up behind him. He jumped up infront of me and blocked my view. His whole body was trembling. I heard the doors of the vechile close and people talking walking toward the house. He quickly turned around and exhaled annoyingly. He turned toward the door as two people walk in talking. They stopped when they saw Lyall walking towards them. Xylander saw me and ran over to me. His whole body bruised and beaten. Blood pouring out of his side but all he did was run over to me and embraced me. Whispering in my ear I’m so glad your alive. I looked up at Lyall horrified that this was most likely caused by my father and Lyall just looked away. Then another pair of headlights raced up the driveway and Lyall pulled Xylander off of me and grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his chest. I swore I heard Xylander growl at him for it but then jumped in front of us. I looked up at Lyall to ask a question but I stopped in my tracks when I saw his eyes glowing amber gold like a forest on fire. Xylander looked behind at us his eyes glowing bright red and growled before whispering

“Run”
