*Nolans POV* It is nice to be home. It has been a couple of years, with me being at school and training with King Luke and his pack. My mom has told me when I am supposed to join them on stage as she wants to keep it a secret that I am back. “...Tonight was a chance to celebrate our students, but we also have something else to celebrate, the return of your future Alpha,Alpha Nolan, my lovely son.” she turns to look at the back on the stage and begins clapping. That is my cue. I stepped onto the stage and joined my parents. My dad gave me a small push toward the mic, silently telling me to address our pack and the guest pack,“Thank you everyone it is so wonderful to be home and I would like to personally congratulate the class as well, but please let's get to the festivities and enjoy the night” as I looked out into the crowd I saw her. Remi! My wolf is overly excited to see her again after all these years. Our eyes locked for a second, which made my wolf let out a lower growl of pure pleasure. Her beautiful eyes close, she looks unstable and to took everything in me not to jump off the stage and steady her. Instead, I took that chance to head off the back of the stage. I headed towards the lake. We have got to get it together. I pushed my wolf further back into my mind. If he keeps prancing around my head like a show pony, I am going to blow chunks. The band has been playing for a little while now as I make my way around the tables to stand in the back. People randomly come up to me saying “hello”. I shake hands and smile, appeasing them. Remi! My wolf can sense her and that is when I see her out on the dance floor dancing with who I recognized as Millie, Beta Taylor's daughter, but there were also three guys out there with her. Two are forsure twins as they look exactly the same, but I can't place any of the three of them. They aren’t even touching her, but all I want to do is go over there and rip them away from her. Do it! Ryan, my wolf, growled. What the f*** is wrong with us? I am thoroughly confused by my feelings towards her right now. I want nothing more than to be near her and my wolf wants nothing more than those guys to get away from her. I try to brush it off by looking away from her, but she is mesmerizing. She is tall and slender, wearing a short black dress with white roses that hug her body in all the right places. She has the most beautiful and seductive green eyes. Her loosely curled long brown hair pulls one's attention down her body to her butt where they rest for a moment. Her hips are swaying to the music and each time she does she exposes more of her sun-kissed legs. That's it I can't control the desire. I darted straight to her, wrapping my arms around her from behind. My wolf growled lowly, so happy to be touching her. Stupid dog get control. Here he goes prancing around in my head again. Peaches. I get a whiff of the most amazing smell, peaches. Remi spun in my arms,looking at me with a bite of surprise in her eyes. “Alpha Nolan” her voice is even more enchanting and sweet then I remember. Her green eyes are piercing into me, all I can do is smile. She hasn't pushed away from me or questioned me about what I was doing and it feels damn good. It is like she was meant to be in my arms forever. The band started to play a slow dance and I took the opportunity to ask her,“May I have this dance, Remi?” Her smile lit up her green eyes, “It would be my pleasure.” She went to step back and take my hand but I couldn't let her go. I pulled her back into my chest and began to slowly sway our bodies back and forth. It felt so natural. She rested her head on my shoulder,our bodies melting into each other. She eventually looked up at me with that smile. “I haven't seen you since my 14th birthday. Where did you go?” “My father sent me off to train with King Alpha Luke”. I didn't think she would have noticed I had left. “I have come back from time to time but I stayed on the training field or at the pack house. But I never saw you with your family at the pack house?” “ You must have not been looking,” she replied with a flirtatious smile. “Oh no I would have noticed a woman such as you” I said, winking at her. The song was ending but I was not done talking to her. I mind-linked the band to keep playing and continued to sway us around the dance floor. “So did you take a trip away from the pack?” I asked her more directly this time, wondering now why I hadn't seen her all the times I had come home. She dropped her eyes this time. “No, I have been here, but since my birthday I didn't feel like I should go to the pack house anymore and I stopped training with everyone for the most part. My parents would drag me to things from time to time for a while, but then they seemed to just give up”, she divulged. I removed my hand from her waist and tucked a loose hair behind her ear, making her look up at me again. “I am sorry Remi”. She gave me a small sweet smile and laid her head back against my chest. We silently danced for a while longer. The song ended and she stepped back to look at me. This time I let her, nervously putting my hands in my pockets. “Hey! Got my eyes on you”, the twins Remi was dancing with earlier were standing at the edge of the dance floor with their arms crossed, the other guy and Millie were standing with them. Do these f*** ers want to die? Ryan rumbled in my head. Remi reached her hand out, grabbing my upper arm, pulling my attention back to her. “Brothers! Gotta love them!” She let out a soft giggle. That's right. I do remember on her birthday all those years ago, her older twin brothers and a younger brother. My wolf and I both calmed down,smiling at her. “ROGUES” The yelling came from behind me and as I turned to look where or who had just yelled, I felt Remi's touch disappear. My head snapped back to her, she was running with all three of her brothers and Millie out of the training grounds. Pack members were running everywhere, some shifting ready to fight. The problem is, we don't know where these rogues are. Nolan, we need you. Your father has been hurt. My mother's mind linked I took off towards the pack house, letting Ryan come forward. We were made for this, we lived for this, but I had to fight the urge to make sure Remi was good. She’ll be safe with her family,Right? Alpha needs all of you. Pack house now We turned the corner to head straight for the front door. I see them, there has to be about two dozen rogues. Protect your Alpha and Luna. Beta Taylor is on the other side of the fight and I can see my parents. My dad looks like he is hurt but mom looks fine. Neither have shifted and she is helping him slip inside. With them safe, I turned my attention to the fight at hand. We outnumber them easily, not only in numbers but in skill. We take off for the center of it, ripping the throat out of a rogue as we pass. Before I knew, we had taken out six rogues and the pack warriors had finished the rest. After checking the area, we all began to shift back. Gamme Ben is amongst our warriors. He was supposed to be with Remi. “Alpha Nolan, well done. I see the training at the palace has paid off.” He says while placing his hand on my shoulder. “Where is Remi?” I blurt out and quickly added “... and Millie and your sons”. I must have a panicked look on my face because his face drops “I had Carter and Caleb take them to our house to the bunker.” With a quick look, he took off running toward their house. I followed, shifting mid stride. His house is about fifty yards or so from the pack house. Gamme Ben has the door open and is yelling for any of them. I am pacing back and forth in front of the back door. I don't want to shift back yet, not until I see she is safe. In a matter of minutes, Gamme Ben is back on the back porch, white as a ghost. “They aren't here and I can’t link any of the boys.” I begin sniffing the air in hopes of finding them. Peaches. I took off in the direction of her scent. I need trackers now. Some pack members have gone missing I mind linked the pack. I am too angry to bother with the formalities of asking my dad. All I can think is what if something happened to her, what if Remi has been taken or dead. We never should have left her.
