The white wolf

Chapter 3 - escape

Shane pov

When she jumped out my arms I tried to reach for her again but she started screaming in pain and I could hear her bones break, she was shifting, she smells human how is this possible? When she’s fully shifted and stand she’s gorgeous, but she’s white? Only royal wolves are white, but they were killed years ago. What is going on here? I realise she has never shifted before when she try’s to run and fails, several times before she manages to run amazingly fast past us and run out the door behind us. No wolf can move that fast. I run after her but lily grabs my arm as I reach the door, “what are you doing?” She says, “I’m going to get my mate” I told her “but your mine, your supposed to be my mate not some rouge w***e” she snarls. I am not hers, I will never be hers. “I have already told you and my mother I will not mate with you, if you stand in my way to my mate you will find yourself punished. If you harm her in anyway you will have a worse fate. Now let go of my arm before I have you thrown in the cells” I all but roar at her, and she cowers back in fear and runs to mother, I don’t wait for anyone else to speak as I turn and run, I shift mid step and run as fast as I can to find mind my mate. When I finally catch up she’s running up towards the river at the end of our territory, I know my land best and take a shortcut, I reach her and tackle her down before she can get away again. When we land she’s laying in the ground and I’m standing above her, my wolf furious she tried to run from us, she looks up into my eyes and then passes out and shifts beneath my paws, I move and towards a tree and shift back and walk toward my mate, she’s unconscious but she’s beautiful, she’s perfect. I gently pick her up and walk back to the back house with her in my arms, when I reach the pack house I can’t hold back the growls of the unmated males looking at night mate, after a few growls the men looking away as I pass, my beta Cameron follows me to my room and place her in my bedroom. I place her on my bed and cover her with the blanket, I exit the room and meet Cameron with some shorts, we walk to my office on my floor and pour a drink, and then Cameron says “white wolves were all royals, they were killed more than a decade ago, how is she white?” I thought about and couldn’t come up with an answer “I don’t know, we’ll have to speak to the council about this, maybe she’s a distant relative or maybe one of the royals survived and had a child? She’s not old enough to have seen the slaughter, must’ve been a child or born after it? we’ll have to speak to my father and then inform the council to work out who and what she is, white wolves are know to have special powers” I say, I then reach into my pocket and take out the flower I picked that grew around her and place it on my desk as I take a seat.

Cameron looks at it, and asks “is that real gold? What kind of flower is that?” “That’s the ones that grew around her when she collapsed outside, I’m not sure if it’s real gold or not, we need to get someone to have a look at this” Cameron thinks for a moment and says “it looks so real, like real gold, I think the council has someone who specialised in magical potions but rumour had it he had to specialise in magical plants to learn potions, pretty sure they joke and call him ivy instead of Ivan, I’ve heard your dad say council member ivy then laugh and say Ivan to the elder that visits for the council”

I think on what he says and tell him “I’ll call them now before she wakes up” I turn and pick up the phone and I send him to keep watch on my mate outside the door so she can’t run before I’m done with the council. I call the council and am waiting to be put through when dad walks in the door. He sits and mind links “who you calling” I explain through link and he nods and says to find him after the call. When I’m finally put through the man on the other line answers “council member Jacob”, “hi, this is alpha Shane of blue moon”, “how may I help you alpha” I explain that I met my mate and that she smelled human but shifted into a white wolf, he gasped and asked her age name, everything, I explained that we haven’t talked as she’s unconscious, and told him of the flowers that grew all around her, and followed her until we reached inside the pack house until she woke up and shifted and then the disappeared when she ran. There was silence on the other end until he said

“I will be there in the morning with a few other council members including ivy, oh hah um I mean councillor Ivan” and the line disconnected.

I headed for my room to check on my mate, when I got there Cameron was on his phone on a chair outside the room, he stands when he sees me and asks how it went, i told him they’d be here tomorrow and to prepare for there arrival, and the possibility of them staying a few days, I also asked him to find my father and tell him I’ll come speak to him once I’ve visited my mate. He nods and leaves down the stairs to do as asked and then head for bed as it’s reaching 10pm, I watched him leave down the stairs and headed for the door, just as I got to it I head movement from inside, my mate was awake, a smile tugs at my lips and a excitement fills me as I finally get to speak with my mate as I reached for the door handle the door swung open and I’m face to face with my gorgeous mate. I look her up and down and see she’s wearing my favourite jumper. A smirk tugs at my lips as she looks over my bare chest, I never put a T-shirt on just the shorts Cameron gave me. She starts to blush when she realised I’ve caught her checking me out. She starts to back up and I follow her back into the room and close the door behind me, I’m not making the same mistake twice.
