Chapter 5 Chapter Five

After talking with Harvey more regarding tonight’s party, I head towards the kitchen to drop the little basket off that I continue to burrow. As I walk through the door, Meredith was there having a heated discussion with one of the cooks. I try to be quiet as I place down the basket on the counter, but her head soon whips over to look at me.

“Oh never-mind what I just said, I think I have just found the perfect person” she smirks looking over at the cook before her eyes soon return to me “Eliana, I need you to head into town and pick up the cake for this dreadful party tonight” she tells me before looking down at her notes, I was about to nod my head to agree but a problem soon arises in my mind.

“Do you think it’s safe for me to leave the main area of the pack, Alpha Thomas could be out there?” I ask fear making its way through my body, I don’t know if I feel comfortable leaving here alone right now.

“Oh don’t be silly, that man has far more things to worry about than a wolf that hasn’t shifted yet. Just stay out of sight, you’ll be fine” she says rolling her eyes before leaving, this meant I couldn’t protest the matter further and had to go along with what she told me to do.

“Here hunny, I’m about to head into town myself so I’ll drive you. You’ll have to make your way back alone though” one of the other cooks smiles, I nod my head thanking them for their kind gesture.

In no time, we were sat in the car heading towards the border of the pack. My nerves kept building and building as we inch closer to the border, what if Alpha Thomas is indeed waiting in the shadows to pounce at any given second? I turn my head to the side where I see Alpha Thomas’s son Cooper and another man having a shouting match in each other’s faces.

The mystery man soon turns his head in my direction, where we lock eyes. I’d never seen this man’s face before, but his bright green eyes felt so familiar. His red hair wild and free blowing in the wind, not like the other men in this pack, they love to go over the top with hair gel. We hold each other’s gaze until we drive past him, where we are forced to look away. I stare ahead confused for second, trying to rack my brain in hopes to remember where I know those eyes, but my mind kept drawing a blank. The cook looks over sending me a smile where I soon send her one back, I decide to put the thought of that man’s eyes at the back of my mind for a second.

The cook drops me off in town, with instructions of where to find the shop and warning me to be careful around this place. I thank her before walking from the car and in the direction she told me, which surprisingly wasn’t too hard to find. I receive many stares as I walk through the town, most of which was causing me to grow rather uncomfortable. I soon make it to the shop where the cake was waiting for me, with a wink from the man behind the desk I take the cake and soon leave.

My next task was making it back to the pack without being found by Alpha Thomas, or anyone who wishes to stop me for that matter. I hurry through the town centre, still catching many bystanders attention. I begin to pass the huge fountain where the cook told me meant I was halfway home, this sort of calming my nerves a little. Before I could fully pass by it through, my arm is grabbed hold of and I’m stopped in my tracks.

“Oh, what do we have here then?” A tall man asks me still holding onto my arm, he had brown slicked back hair with grey eyes that were looking me up and down as I manage to free my arm from his.

“I’m sorry, but I’m in a rush” I say attempting to walk away but he runs in front and blocks my way, where I end up walking straight into his chest.

“I haven’t even introduced myself, I’m Alpha Bruce. It’s an honour to make your acquaintance“ he smiles looking me up and down once again, I wished I was wearing a coat or something to cover my body from his gaze “I don’t know if you realised, but this is where you tell me your name” he says with a smirk which does cause my heart to sink, I just wanted to walk passed him and head home.

“I’m Eliana Calaway, but as I have said I’m in a rush so I must get going” I tell him before walking past his body and in the direction of home once more, but in a short few seconds he was back standing in front of me.

“Calaway, I’m gonna take a guess and say you’re the daughter of the now late Alpha Stephan Calaway” he says with the same annoying smirk placing on his lips, I just nod my head walking past him once again “it was so devastating to hear what happened to him, I’m no scientist but I think I can take a guess and say you’re not living in his pack anymore. Which means you need somewhere to stay, as you’re so beautiful I think I will be able to find room in my pack for you” he suggest which immediately causes my eyes to go wide, why didn’t I catch on before that this was where he was going with this?

“Thank for your kind offer, but I already have somewhere to stay which once again, I’m in a rush to get back to” I tell him not daring to turn around to look at his expression, some Alpha’s look terrifying when they are told no.

“Oh I really insist, you and I can make a night of it” he smirks where I feel him trying to take my hand, before he could grab ahold I bolt towards home “I love the chase!” I hear him laughing before the sounds of running behind me get my attention.

I run even faster using all the strength my legs had to carry me there, I had never ran so fast in my life. But when I turn around to see where Alpha Bruce was, I found he was dangerously close to me.

He was seconds away from grabbing hold of me when the mystery man from before appears, he takes a hold of my hand and throws me in the air. As I’m falling back down, he shifts into his wolf form where I safely land on his back, the cake still in my other hand. Before I knew what was happening, we were racing at lightening speed back towards the pack, Alpha Bruce being lost in the crowd.

I take ahold of the wolves beautiful red fur so I didn’t fall, where the most amazing smell fills my senses again. It was the same smell I smelt when I helped that wolf, my now racing heart rate began to slow down until it was at normal speed. I was fully calm, protected and safe on this wolves back.

Alpha Bruce curses and Eliana is taken away on the back of that wolf, he would have followed but due to the conflicts between his pack and the Blood Moons Pack, he knew that wouldn’t be the wises of ideas. Now he had seen Eliana’s beauty, he was opposed with the thought and idea of her. He wanted her to be in his pack right this second, he was going to stop at nothing until she was in his room.

“What was that about?” His Beta asks him coming to a stop, Bruce just rolls his eyes looking at the man.

“That was Eliana, the girl that will be mine. I want her in my possession, get her me” he tells his Beta point blank before walking away.

She will be his.
