The Alpha's Runaway Mate

Chapter four

Izzy’s POV

I want to make dinner. Is there food in the refrigerator? Yes, Liam went shopping while you were getting your beauty rest, replies Zack.

I shake my head and laugh. Okay, how about some dinner then? All three reply at the same time, YES!!

I guess you’re hungry, then, I laugh.

Well, you are the one who knows how to cook unless you want a bowl of cereal, says Liam.

Devin chuckles. I can make top ramen. We all start laughing. Don’t look at me, replies Zack. I can burn water if you like, as he chuckles.

We all start laughing harder. We could order pizza, says Zack, so you don’t have to cook.

No, I think I would rather cook if you don’t mind. How about some pasta fettuccine with chicken and broccoli? That would be great. And for dessert, how about ice cream?

I didn’t get ice cream, but while you’re cooking dinner, I’ll run to the store and get some.

No, no, I can just make a cake or something.

No, I’ll go get ice cream; the store is like five minutes away.

Okay. I walk into the kitchen and start preparing dinner; it doesn’t take me that long before it’s done.

Liam came back right as I’m dishing out the food on the plates.

For the first time ever, I actually ate dinner with my brothers. It may not seem much to others, but it means the world to me.

We all talked about things I need to do to be able to go to medical school. And since I was never able to go to school,

I would have to get my GED. That’s where we start first, says Liam.

After dinner, the boys cleaned the kitchen. I told them I would do it, but they said no, that I was done being their maid.

Besides cooking, unless I wanted them to burn the house down, I chuckled at that. How about I teach you guys how to cook?

They all looked at each other and said, “Why not?” or “We could have cold cereal and top ramen every day,” joked Devin.

We all started laughing. “ No, I think I’ll cook and teach you guys,” I laughed. “ Good,” says Liam. “ I would hate to starve,” and everyone started laughing .

I was happy for the first time. I wasn’t locked in a shed or being beaten.

How about a movie, Iz, if you’re not tired?

As long as it’s not horror, then I’m in.

How about comedy? Or an action movie? We ended up watching Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

It was hilarious. I never knew I could laugh so much.

I guess I fell asleep at some point because I woke up in the morning in my room.

Liam’s POV

For the first time, I got to see my sister really smile. I’m so grateful that we were able to finally get away from our parents.

I wonder what happened to our parents once they realized we were all gone. I would have loved to see how the Alpha reacts to it all.

I would have loved to see my father grovel for the first time. How would our mother react? It’s not like they can threaten us this time.

Or use us against each other. I hope the Alpha gives them everything they deserve.

I’m sure the Alpha will have issues with us all disappearing.

Devin was his lead warrior. Zack was working in his company while he was in school to be a lawyer.

I was supposed to work at the pack hospital, plus I was showing him how to use the stock market. This must have hit him really hard.

I would love to see how they explain all of us leaving.

Meeting the grandparents.

Izzy, are you ready? yells Zack. I’m coming, give me a minute.

It’s been twenty laughs, Liam. Okay, okay, I’m coming. I’ll be in the car, laughs Devin.

Okay, okay, I’m here, let’s go. How many people were you getting ready for? chuckles Zack.

Hey!!! Shaking my head, giving Zack my pouty face. Liam hugs me, come on, we’re already late.

Late for what? You’ll see, come on. As he pulls me out the door.

We all get into a new black SUV, it’s nice. Whose car is this?

Mine, replies Devin. When did you get this?

A few weeks ago, grandpa picked it up for me. It was here yesterday when we got here.

I knew we were going to need a car. We’re going to get Zack’s and Liam’s car today.

Would you like to learn how to drive, Iz? Says Liam. Yes, if it’s not too much trouble. It’s no trouble at all, replies Zack.

Hey, Devin, how about we let Izzy get her car today too, have it dropped off at the house so we can teach her in it?

That’s a good idea. It might be easier on her. We could always hire someone to teach her, laughs Liam. Hey!! Liam chuckles, I’m just joking, Iz.

We get to the car lot and I’m the only one searching for the car I want. Liam got a Jeep, Zack got a truck.

I ended up getting a Nissan Rogue. Devin made sure it was fully loaded, whatever that means, I giggle.

I wanted a burgundy one and they didn’t have it, so they had to order it and I would get it in a few days.

They would have it delivered to the house along with my brother’s cars. I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to see it.

Okay now that’s done let’s get to the mall.

We all need phones and computers and Izzy. You still need clothes. But I have clothes grandma bought me.

Izzy you need more than that sighs Liam, things that you pick out for yourself.

Oh .. okay.. are you sure? I will be fine with what I have. Yes we’re sure replies Zack.

We’re never gonna let anyone hurt you again Iz, sighs Devin. These are things you should have had, a long time ago. . .. as a tear slips from my eyes.. thank you. Is all I could manage to say.

It’s okay Iz we only want what’s best for you says Liam as he holds my hand comforting me.

I know it’s gonna take some time getting used to.
