The Alpha's Runaway Mate

Chapter sixty four

Vince’s POV

Now that I ate, how about that walk? Sure, let me get you a wheelchair, and we can go from there.

No, I want to walk on my own two feet. That’s fine, but when you get tired, you can sit.

Fine, go get it. The minute I tried to stand, my legs gave away, and Pete barely caught me.

Wow, I knew you always wanted to be in my arms, but you didn’t have to do it like this, Pete said, grinning.

Yeah, yeah, it’s not like my legs gave me a choice. Well, I told you to wait.

Laughing, when have I ever listened to you? Yeah, good point, that’s how we got into this mess in the first place.

Pete, I’m really sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen. I know it’s just… let’s just go outside for that walk, Pete.

Vince, I forgive you. I did worse, and Izzy forgave me. So I forgive you. You’re my brother, my best friend.

I’m just glad you’re safe and back home where you belong.

I watch my brother, and I can see how much he’s changed.

I wish I could say I was surprised by what he said, but I’m not.

I heard Cassius and his men talking about what they were doing with his family and how they were using them to control Pete.

They thought I couldn’t hear them, but I heard everything. I know he wants Izzy because she’s special.

That’s all that he would ever say. But Martin would ramble on about everything; he never shut up.

Pete, he wants Izzy!

Izzy is different; she doesn’t need her true mate to have children.

She is from the moon goddess bloodline, and any children that she will have will be special too. At least that’s what I heard.

Pete just looked at me like I was crazy. Which I probably was.

What do you mean? I heard Cassius telling Martin that they needed to find you because he wants Izzy.

That was his whole reason for doing everything he did; it was always to get to Izzy.

When he lost you and the children, he went crazy.

He was hoping that the guy he sent would get your wife and you back.

But you both had disappeared, he got arrested, and disappeared also.

No, he actually sent him to kill us. What do you men? That was the reason he sent James.

But we had already been moved here to the Blue Moon Pack.

After Warren got caught, he said he wasn’t worried about it since he had done something to you all.

He did; he alpha-commanded us, which almost cost me my life until another alpha had seen it before.

My alpha tried to remove it, but it didn’t work.

Then Taylor, the alpha from this pack, was able to remove it.

He must be a powerful alpha because no one should have been able to remove it.

He is; he’s Izzy’s mate. Well, now that would make sense. Anyone who’s mated to Izzy is going to have to be powerful.

That would make sense, said Pete. I never thought of it that way, but now that you mention it, he would have to be.

When we walked outside, it took my breath away. It’s been over eighteen years since I’ve been outside. I’m sure it’s been way longer. I just don’t remember.

The wind was slightly blowing, and you could hear the rustling of the trees.

It was green with flowers everywhere. It was a beautiful, sunny day, not too hot, just perfect.

I stood there staring at my surroundings. It was just like I had imagined but better.

Ralph was jumping around in my head, repeating, “Run, run, run. Alright, I get it. You want to run.”

I’m not sure if I can, but we can give it a try.

Pete, I’m going to try to shift, so I hope you brought extra clothes. I smirk.

That’s not a problem. I will have Amelia bring some. Okay, Ralph, all yours as my bones begin to break and realign. I can’t say I remember it hurting this bad.

“

S**t, this hurts,” I mutter. Well, we haven’t shifted in over eighteen years. What did you expect? Rainbows and lollipops?

Yes, that’s exactly what I expected, you s****d mutt. It took us about ten mins before we shifted completely.

Ralph stood there on wobbly legs. Can you walk?

Ralph takes a step but falls over, “Haw!!! Not as easy as you thought.” Ralph just grumbled at me, getting up and trying again,

it took him about four tries before he finally could take steps and another ten minutes before he could actually run.

I have never felt more alive. Russ finally caught up to us and tried tackling us.

Ralph sidestepped before he could.

Russ is sandy brown with grey streaks where Ralph is just sandy brown.

They are both just average height, but Russ is just a little bigger but not by much.

We ran, played, and hunted for hours. “Okay, Ralph, time to go back. I’m exhausted. You’re exhausted. You haven’t even done anything,” he smirks.

“

Well, if we don’t go back now, then you won’t be coming back out for a while,” he grumbles, heading back towards the hospital.

We get back, and on my chair are clothes for us to change into. Pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt, and my hospital slippers are still next to the chair.

It took me a few minutes to change back. It wasn’t as bad as last time, but I was exhausted.

I took a few steps, and my legs felt like jelly, so I decided just to use the chair.

“

Thought you didn’t need the chair,” laughed Pete. “Yeah, yeah, just shut it and start pushing.”

“

I’m tired and hungry,” I grumble.

Pete laughed. “Okay, let’s get you back to your room, and I will have them bring you some food.”

That night, Vince got to meet everyone. He and the kids got along great, especially since he is a big kid himself.

He was amazed by Izzy and Taylor and how well they fit together, how kind Izzy was even after everything that had happened to her.

He admired Taylor for being such a strong, but kind Alpha. He said it was rare.

Taylor was rare when it came to Alphas, but at the same time, never underestimate him.

He had worked hard to make his pack the strongest.

It was a busy but great evening one I never thought I would ever get a chance to have again.

I was beyond grateful. That night was the first time in many years I found peace when I finally fell asleep, no nightmares but a very peaceful sleep.
