The Alpha's Runaway Mate

Chapter Ten

Taylor’s POV

I follow Alpha Tony to the dungeon. We walk up this little hill on the edge of the forest. The next thing I know, a door is sliding open, and we are walking down a set of stairs. I ran past this earlier, and I never knew it was here. Very nice.

When you get to the bottom of the stairs, there is a steel door with two guards by it. They both bow their heads, saying Alpha as the door slides open.

I walk into the room, and there are six cells. The place is clean and well taken care of. Each cell has a cot, a blanket, and a toilet.

I laugh to myself, “No privacy, slick move.” Well, I guess that’s better than it being all smelly down here.

As I walk further in, I see a woman sitting in the corner crying and repeating the same thing over and over again: “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”

I walk up closer, and the woman wasn’t very big, maybe five foot six, and had to weigh about a hundred and fifty pounds, if that.

She has short black hair and a round-shaped face. She’s pretty, but you can tell time has been hard on her.

Alpha Taylor, I would like you to meet Janie. She is Izzy’s mom.

I look at her, and I wonder how could a mother do something like this to her own child.

I clear my throat. My name is Alpha Taylor Diaz. Her eyes got big, and she stutters, “You, you mean like Taylor Diaz… Diaz, the billionaire of the Diaz Corporation.”

The Alpha over the Blue Moon pack, the biggest and strongest pack. Yes, that would be me. I came here to ask you a few questions about your daughter, Izzy.

She starts crying and saying, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”

Alpha Tony steps next to me and tells me that’s all he’s been able to get out of her when we start talking about Izzy.

I step up to the bars, looking at her, “sighing.” Janie, I need you to focus. She mumbles something, I didn’t understand any of it.

Jarred’s mind links me, Taylor, you’re not going to get anything out of her. Why don’t we talk to the husband?

I believe you’re right, Jarred.

Alpha, where is the husband?

He’s in another part of the cells; he wasn’t cooperating.

Can we see him because I’m not going to get anything from her.

Alpha Tony steps forward and goes to another steel door, and after a few minutes, the door slides open. We step through it, and the door closes behind us.

It smells like pee and everything else; I almost want to puke. I put on a straight face and walk up to the cell where Izzy’s father is.

He’s about five foot eleven, brown hair, and green eyes.

Hello, Pete, my name is Alpha Taylor Diaz. His eyes go big; he lifts up his head and says, “What would an Alpha like you want with me?”

Well, it would seem that we have something in common, and that would be your daughter.

He starts laughing and says, “ I don’t have a daughter; I have a w****; she will never be my daughter.”

Is that why you hurt her? He stands up and walks over to the bars looking at me with curiosity.

“ NO, I HURT HER BECAUSE SHE DESERVES IT. She is a useless girl without a wolf; she couldn’t even get that right. I wish I would have killed her.”

I’m livid, and Ry is trying to take over. Jarred walks up and puts a hand on my shoulder. “ It’s okay, Ry; we will find her. Calm down.” Ry growls, Pete takes a step back.

“

SHE IS MY MATE, YOU STUPID HUMAN.”

You will pay for everything you have done to her and her brothers. I will find her, and I will be back.”

Turning around, leaving the dungeon.

Izzy’s POV

It’s been three years since my brothers saved me. My life couldn’t be better.

I got my GED and started college with Liam. We are in our third year of med school, and I’m loving every bit of it.

I feel bad for Devin; he’s twenty-four now and has yet to find his mate. It’s all my fault.

He doesn’t blame me; he blames our parents. They are the ones who put us in this situation, Devin says.

Zack doesn’t want a mate, so he doesn’t mind, but I do, and I know Liam is waiting for his mate.

Tomorrow, Liam and I turn twenty-one, and I can’t wait. All of our friends are coming over, and we’re having a big party.

We met a few wolves from another pack around the city, but they don’t tell us anything about being rouges. They just accepted us for who we are.

They told us they can introduce us to their Alpha. But Devin said no. He doesn’t want our old pack to find us.

I personally think it’s time. It’s time we stop hiding. They can’t hurt us anymore.

It just turned midnight the day of our birthday, and I keep getting a horrible headache like something is trying to push forward.

“Izzy, are you okay?” says Zack. “Yes, yes, I’m fine. I just…” grabbing my head, and Liam catching me before I fall.

“What’s wrong, Izzy?” I’m not…as tears begin to fall. It hurts. “Hello, Izzy. I hear a voice I never heard before. I’m Shay, your wolf.

I need you to breathe and relax so we can shift. What, what do you mean shift?” I say out loud.

Devin grabs Izzy. “We need to get her outside into the forest. Zack, go grab another pair of clothes. Izzy is gonna need it.

Liam, stay close to her. You’re her twin. You can help her the most,” says Devin.
