Chapter 6

The journey to the pack this time felt shorter, when we escaped Alpha Thomas the journey felt like a lifetime. But with the intoxicating smell of pine nuts filling my senses, I wished for the journey to be longer.

We were soon rushing back into The Blood Moon pack, where we head straight passed the pack house. Shouldn’t that be where I’m dropped off? Has this wolf forgotten I’m on his back? I’m taken to a part of the pack I hadn’t seen before, there were two isolated buildings beside each other. The wolf comes to an abrupt stop right in front of the buildings, before I had any time to comprehend what was happening. The wolf shifts into his wolf form, with me still on his back. In a matter of seconds, he was stood in human form completely naked with my body pressed against his.

Shock and realisation soon fills the beautiful man’s face as he looks down at me, while I awkwardly release my arms from around his neck and take a few steps backwards. To the other pack members this would not be a big deal, but it is a new experience for me. I know the rumour which had been going around the pack since I arrived, as I’m not allowed to join when the packs are training, I have never seen someone else naked, which if I’m being completely honest, is a hundred percent true!

I gulp slightly not remembering how to form a sentence, the man in front of me smiles slightly before running off into one of the buildings in front of us. So we’re not going to discus what happened? Maybe it wasn’t a big deal and I’m just making the situation bigger than it has to be. But he did just save my life, wouldn’t it be rude if I left without thanking him? I hadn’t a clue how I should handle this situation.

Someone calling my name from the side, takes me from my concerned thoughts. I turn to look away from the buildings, where Harvey was rushing right over to me. Before I had time to utter a word, he wraps his arms around me holding me so tightly. Am I never going to have a chance to speak?

“You’re okay, I was so worried when I got word of what happened” he says holding me so tightly as he spoke, I managed to slip my arms from his grip so I could hold him back “the cook that dropped you in town saw what happened, thankfully, Colten was in town also and saved you in time” he continues to say before releasing me from his grip, but what just escape his lips cause my eyes to grow wide.

“That was Alpha Colten?” I ask pointing my finger towards the building he just entered, Harvey nods his head also stepping back with a smile “well that wasn’t the first impression I was thinking of” I say looking down at the ground all embarrassed, what is he going to think of me after I pulled that kind of stunt!

“I wouldn’t worry Eliana, Colten is different to any other Alpha we’ve come in contact with, trust me” Harvey reassures me whilst his head turns to look at the buildings, I move my eyes from looking over at Harvey to where his eyes were.

Out walking from one of the buildings, was the man that saved me. Who I now know as Alpha Colten. This time around he was fully clothed, which made it so much easier for me to concentrate. Harvey walks over where they do that weird guy handshake thing, as Alpha Colten’s eyes move to look at me standing there like a lemon.

“It’s great to see you back where you belong cousin” Harvey smiles taking steps backwards, until he was standing beside me once again “I also have to thank you for saving my sister” he smiles placing his hand on my shoulder as he spoke, I nod my head finally looking at Alpha Colten.

“You do not have to thank me, I saw Alpha Bruce chasing Eliana so I stepped in” he smiles his deep voice sending weird little shivers to run down my spine “I will have to say, it is much too dangerous for Eliana to leave The Blood Moon Pack unaccompanied. If you need to leave this pack for whatever reason, I highly recommend you take a strong wolf with you” he says looking me in the eyes as he spoke, where as soon as I stare into his I get lost.

His eyes felt oddly familiar, but for the life of me I couldn’t recall where I saw them last. I nod my head with a little smile, finally able to remove my eyes from his.

“As Harvey said, thank you for saving me and I apologise for any trouble I may have caused you” I say looking down slightly as I spoke, I couldn’t help but feel guilty for forcing him to step in and saving me.

“You do not have to apologise Eliana, I am glad I was there to offer you protection and bring you here safely” Alpha Colten smiles which does make my head whip up to look at him, he isn’t at all mad? Maybe Harvey was correct when he said Alpha Colten isn’t like any other Alpha I’ve known “Alpha Bruce, is known all too well for preying on young beautiful girl, he is the biggest player I have ever coms across” he says which does make me blush slightly, he kind of implied that he thought I was beautiful, yes I have been called that many times but when Alpha Colten said it, something felt different.

“I still want to thank you for saving me, I don’t know what would have happened if you didn’t step in” I smile where he responds with a shake of his head and a smile.

“He must be used to saving you by now, let’s be honest, this isn’t the first time Colten has had to save your life” Harvey laughs crossing his arms, I turn my head looking at him utterly confused “when we were kids, Colten raced in and saved you from that burning building” he says looking at me like a was dumb for not remembering, but I really didn’t have any memory of that ever happening.

I turn my head to look back at Alpha Colten, who just stood there smiling down at me.
