Angel's Fate

Untitled

James

I must be a glutton for punishment. I'm sitting in a hospital room watching my brother and my alpha don't over this Riley chick. Both men drooling over her and take turns oohing and aweing over the baby boy. Our future alpha.

Traditionally, there would be a big celebration and honor of this rare occasion. but we were thousands of miles away from home. I was thousand miles away from my mate. why wouldn't she answer the damn phone? it is taking everything in me to keep calm and focus on the task at hand.

I damn sure wasn't going to tell Adrian that I thought something had happened to Angel until I knew something for sure.

speaking of..

alpha Adrian comes walking up to me as the doctor leaves the room.

"Good news, I hope?"

Adrian breaks out into a grin. "We leave on a private plane for home in the morning. But, someone has to drive my car back."

He looks pointedly at me.

it takes a few seconds for me to mentally calculate draft time versus airplane ride. and if my figures were correct, and I drove straight through...

"I'll do it. I'll leave now."

"Woah! what's the hurry?"

I weigh my options, trying to come up with the words to make a graceful exit without raising suspicion about angel and myself. I don't think either one of us were ready to open up that can worms under the circumstances.

"I need to make sure everything is in order for the Luna's arrival. You know...with the baby and all..."

alpha Adrian seems to take an extra long time to absorb this small minute piece of information. he finally nods an understanding then claps me on the shoulder.

"Good man. Drive safely and I will see you in couple of days."

I just give a curtain nod before making my way toward the exit. breaking out into a run as soon as Adrian is out of sight. I needed to get back as soon as possible and find out what the hell is going on with the Angel. I hope I hadn't scared her off... She was probably pissed that I missed her birthday.

Fucking women....

I have been on the road for nearly 24 hours when I got a text from Adrian saying that they're playing was about to lift off. I've been surviving on Red Bull and even that didn't seem to be helping much anymore. I felt my eyelids growing heavy until I saw the welcome to North Carolina sign appear in front of me. my energy was suddenly revitalized as I put my foot to the floor and accelerated the car. I was almost home.

I had to stop for gas about a mile outside of Bryson when it finally occurred to me that I could probably call another member of the pack to check on her. scrolling through the contacts in my phone I came across Deb. it probably wasn't a good idea, but I didn't have a lot of choices. besides, it may be easier for Angel to talk to a woman.

She picked up after the first ring.

"Hey, lover... I've been waiting for you to call."

Debra's syrupy sweet voice ring through the receiver. that sultry's tone used to give me a hard-on and now it turns my stomach.

"I was actually calling for a favor."

Her tone drops an octave. "I can be ready in ten minutes. your place or mine?"

I almost gagged on my own spit. This was a mistake.

" I was going to ask if you had seen Angel? Maybe you could check on her and let me know if she's alright. She's going through a lot and doesn't have a mother figure around..."

"Are you serious?! you called your ex to check up on your new little girlfriend?"

"Sorry, I thought we were friends."

"Oh we are...oh my poor dear...I just remembered. Miss Angel...She ran out on her party. Poor little thing. She seemed spooked about something. Maybe you scared her off...We both know you can get awful intense in the heat of passion..."

I feel my adrenaline kicking in and my wolf trying to take control.

She is lying. She's f**king lying!

"If you had anything to do with this, I will tear you apart with my bare hands!"

"Oohh...I'm not afraid of the big bad wolf." She coos into the phone and I think I'm going to be sick."Matter of fact, I want you to tear me apart...with that huge cock..."

I crush the phone in my palm. The plastic and glass making a satisfying crunch and silencing the sickening voice on the other end of the line.

I pressed my foot back down on the gas and accelerate to max speed. I was about an hour away from Bryson, but I think I can make it in about 30 minutes.

Angel

I've been stuck in this house with this handsome stranger for the past 2 days! all I want is to go home. but even I know that's not a good idea. not without Adrian or James the to protect me. at this point I was scared to go back. I would be constantly looking over my shoulder. constantly walking through the hallway of our school seeing the faces of the people that beat the hell out of me and almost violated me.

thankfully this alpha, gauge, this virtual stranger, has kept his distance. keeping conversation and contact at a bare minimum. but one thing that we both agree on, is that I can't go back without protection. I know that he had disappeared for several hours under the pretense of visiting Blue ridge pack to ensure that everything was running smoothly in the absence of the alpha.

sitting quietly in the living room as I watch his familiar silhouette appear in the tree line coming towards the house. the man is moving with a quick confident stride. like a man with a purpose.

"what did you find out?"

"the beta has just arrived. and the alpha and Luna are on their way back with their son."

I feel hope and excitement for the first time in several days. my brother is okay! I have a nephew! James is never going to forgive me!
