Kogua stood tall, my heart filled with pride as I watched him. My body stiff as not to alarm anyone under me that I was here. Koguas father looked at his son. His face contouring into anger.
" You'd pick an omega b***h over your family! Your pack! You'd give it all up for her! "
Koguas face was unwavering. The love he spoke about was the material of lovers in stories I read as a child. He a strong noble prince and I the lowly peasant girl.
" I'd give my life for hers. "
His father slapped his face. Turning his cheek red as he stood by his son. Cassidy came into vumiew watching her father hit her brother she gasped.
" Father why would you hit Kogua? "
He turned to his daughter looking at her. His eyes softened a bit.
" Kogua has choosen an omega over his title as Alpha. I hope it was a good choice. "
He grabbed his daughters hand and lead her back towards the pack. I don't know how much time passed before I heard Koguas voice.
" You can fool everyone but me darling. I know where you hide. I am more than capable of finding you as I have been tracking you for years. "
He looked up at me. My eyes met his as he started climbing the tree I was hiding in.
" You sure are a sneaky one. I'd bet it cane from being the daughter of Finn. He was always good at hiding during our tracking sessions. Over powering his scent with back peddling. "
He reached my branch looking at me and standing eye level with my face. His eyes sealing my fate as he planted a kiss on my forehead.
" I always found him. But not because I followed his scent. I followed yours. He always had a slight whiff of you on him. So I decided to do the same thing to find you. I looked for Finns scent and low and behold I found you. Couldn't let father know that though. I have to keep you safe and now I can. Where is Finn? "
I was still processing the turn of went unfolding infront of me. What nonsense was he speaking I was lost and confused.
" I don't know. Holly was wounded and I ran to distract the trackers from them so they could get away. "
Kogua lifted his eyebrows at me. He started back down the tree. Watching to see if I followed him or not.
" Well let's go, If I know Finn we're going to have an epic game of hide and go seek on our hands. "
When my feet hit solid ground I looked at Kogua.
" Why did you do it? You know nothing about me and yet you have up everything to protect me why? "
Kogua stood tall almost 2 feet taller than me. I only came to his chest standing up. He ran a hand through his hair.
" I knew you were special to me the moment you arrived here 10 years ago. I knew I had to keep you my secret till I could figure out why I felt so strongly for you. When I turned 18 and shifted I smelled the most delicious scent of apples and vanilla. It seemed so familiar I chased it. Through the woods, the pack grounds, all the way to the kitchen where I found you peeling potatoes for the next day. I knew then why I needed you near me. However I couldn't let anyone know yet. When I saw you again after we lost Mary Jane I knew I could be with you then. Father had many Omega lover a even with mother as his mate. I figured they would think the same if I was with you. I'd be abke to keep you to myself and not raise any suspicious until I became Alpha and could make you my line without any hassle. "
I felt warm bur cold too. His family would have thought me a lover. A stress relief. Not his mate and happiness.
" Seems a solid plan what happened? "
I started walking towards Finnagans scent. I had been trained by the beat in secret for years to find him no matter the situation.
" Cassidy found me watching you a few weeks ago. She was angry I wouldn't be mating with her friend and power hungry slut. They had been trying for years to get me to sleep with her. I'd heard them talking but how if she just got pregnant with my pup I'd be forced to mark her as my Luna. "
I felt my blood boiling. I hated Cassidy but now I had another reason to add to my list of why I hated her. She was so vile. Kogua watched me carefully.
" I've only wanted you. Since the day I found you it's been you Quinn. I've waited for you to find me. I've been dreaming of your 18th birthday when you would eventually find me your mate and I'd be able to have you. Mark your neck and let others know your mine. Give you a life worth living with love and pups and safety. "
I was currently being hunted and trying to find my family. Nothing was safe about this situation.
" Quinn I'm not promising a life without struggles but I can promise youre the only one for me. "
I looked at him, his eyes were bright like seeing me sent him into a frenzy. He watched me like a wolf watched a rabbit.
" Kogua I need to find Finnagan right now. He must be worried for me. If your coming with me please don't talk about such things. I haven't had a chance to process my day and I'm kind of freaking out. I don't even have my wolf yet. You've given up your home for me and I don't understand why. "
His eyes held a sudden sadness. Like I'd seen on Finnagan so many times.
" I will follow you and love you till you can love me back Quinn Ryder. That is a promise I will forever keep. "
