The Alpha's Runaway Mate

Chapter twenty nine

Izzy’s POV

It feels weird being back where I started out. Everything looks the same. But it’s different.

From the outside, it looks like an old, run-down house. Nobody can see us or hear us, so we can move around freely.

But we’re never truly free. I hate hiding. But it’s for the best if it keeps everyone safe.

I never thought I would have to leave Taylor this soon. But the minute Cassius saw me, I had no choice.

Please don’t forget about me, my love. I will do everything I can to get back to you.

Every day I feel myself getting weaker. My friend Sally and I practice non-stop. I can still feel Taylor; he never accepted the rejection. I hope he’s doing well.

Taylor’s POV

Jarred, have we found any leads to where they went? Nothing yet; we searched everywhere we can think of.

Thomas said they went to her house and found nothing. No one’s heard from her or Sally.

Devin thought Noah might reach out, but nothing. It’s like they vanished in thin air… oh right, they did vanish in thin air, Jarred said jokingly

. GET OUT !!! Before Ry has you for dinner!!! I’ll taste like dried-up beef jerky! You’ll be beef jerky if you don’t GET OUT, snarls Ry. Okay! Okay! I’m going, geez, I was just trying to lighten your mood. Sighing…as he closes the door behind him.

Jarred’s POV

Rav, did you guys find anything? Beta, he’s at some mansion that’s just outside the city.

He hasn’t come out since he’s gotten here. Send me the location, and I will send others so you guys can rotate out so you can get some rest.

Anything new on our Luna? Did they find her yet? No, and Taylor is getting worse.

Devin and Abby are running everything right now. Alpha Tony and Cassie stepped in to help. But right now, what I need from you is to let us know the minute anything changes at that mansion.

We will get our Luna back, but until then, we need to figure out how to help our Luna and Alpha.

The mansion holds the key.

I’m sending the address now. Tell them to tell us when they are close. Sal will come out to get them. Keep me updated. Yes, Beta.

Cassius’s POV

Ricky, are you sure the Luna left? Yes, I was there. I saw the whole thing. She even rejected him as her mate. The two deltas left with her.

Any idea where they went? No, it seemed like the delta already had a place for them to go.

So there are only three of them? Yes, they went into the Luna’s room, and the next thing I know, the Alpha was howling and went berserk.

That is good news. What can you tell me about the deltas? Not much. I don’t see them too often.

They are husband and wife. Noah does the training for the younger ones, while his wife spends most of her time with the Luna.

Usually, wherever the Luna is, our delta is with her. Cassius thought about it for a moment. Well, that would make sense due to the fact that she is the Luna’s protector.

No, wait, the Gamma is usually the protector. Ricky was unaware of the changes within our ranks at the pack house.

Martin, send some people out and see if they can find where Izzy went. She has made this too easy for me.

I only have to find her. I don’t have to worry about fighting a pack. Ricky, go back to your pack and let me know what’s going on.

I want to know if it’s really true that she ran away from her mate or if this is some ploy to catch me off guard.

I don’t think it’s a ploy, even though we can’t get in their pack, we did hear the devastating howl, then the pack members. It would suggest that she left or something bad happened.

Hmm… let’s send him back and see what else he can tell us. Alright, boss, I will personally take him back myself and drop him off at the mall.

Take a few men with you in case it’s a trap. Bowing his head, he grabbed Ricky and left.

Jarred’s POV

Beta, what’s going on, Rav? They just left here with Ricky. Are the other men there with you?

Yes, sir, okay then have someone follow the car, but whatever you do,DO NOT LET THEM SEE YOU!! Okay, Beta, I understand, I will take care of it myself.

Abby, Devin, Zach, and Liam, please come to my office right now. No one answered, but a few minutes later, the door was opened, and they all walked in, shutting the door behind them.

Take a seat. What’s going on, Jarred? Have they found Izzy? No, we are still looking for her.

I called you here for… and he began to explain the situation to them, so you’re telling us that there are three people in this pack that are helping the man that wants to take our sister?

Yes, and he already knows your sister has run away. Great, that’s all we needed, says Liam.

Liam, you have the connection to her. Yes, I usually do, but she’s blocking it for some reason. She might be blocking it, but you know she’s alright.

Yes, he sighs, she’s fine that I know. The pack member who told Cassius will be back soon.

He will be watching us, so I’ve devised a plan. Since we know he will be paying great attention to all of us,

we are going to lead him astray. He will be watching us, so if we need to talk, it has to be somewhere we know he can’t hear us.

Sally put a spell on the library. Why not meet there, says Abby. You can’t even put a listening device in there. She made the room like that for Izzy.

It would be the safest place for us to meet.

Since we have someone tailing his every movement, we should be able to meet without him knowing.

His attention will be solely on Taylor, making sure Izzy really left.

What’s the plan? Jarred explained his plan, and they all split up once Rav said Ricky was entering the pack.

Ricky’s POV

I really hope they don’t suspect anything. But so far, they haven’t said anything to me.

Alpha, where are you going? Where do you think I’m going? I’m going to look for Izzy.

Alpha, we have three different groups out looking for her. We have our best trackers with them. All we can do now is wait.

Jarred, would you still be telling me this if we were talking about Daisy? Jarred frowns at him. That’s what I thought.

Alpha, we can’t have you both go missing. Fine, let’s go for a run. I need to let off some steam. Can you handle that?

Oh, this is great! The Alpha is losing his mind. It’s only a matter of time.

I will have to tell Cassius as soon as possible. Devin, wait up, says, “ Zack, where are you going?”

To the new mall. Someone said they spotted Izzy there. Great, I’ll come with you. Fine, let’s go.

Ricky pulls out his phone and sends a message to Cassius: new mall, Izzy seen there. A few minutes later… got it…
