“He isn’t my Alpha or my keeper” I tell her, annoyed that she wanted to know if I had permission to see her.
Max pulled his phone from his pocket. “I will let him know you’re here. I don’t want to get in shit like last time” He says dialling the number in his phone. I cross my arms over my chest.
“It is fine Max, I only stopped by to see if you knew where the Alpha was” He continued to dial the number ignoring me. I heard it ring a few times and Callie walked up the steps and unlocked her front door.
“So do you know where he is?” I ask, following her, but she ignores my question. Instead of taking her jacket off and hanging it on the coat rack.
“I can’t say Lily, if the Alpha wanted you to know he would have told you”
Her answer pissed me off and I could feel Layla pressing against my skin, not liking that everyone kept blowing us off.
“Fine, I will go then” I tell her walking back outside. Only this time I find four warriors standing in the yard. Max had hung the phone up and looked away, not meeting my eyes as he spoke.
“Damien sent them, they are here to escort you home”
“What the fuck is going on?” I demanded. They all looked at each other before one stepped onto the porch and reached for me. I smacked his hand away as he went to grab my arm.
“Luna, we have orders to take you home” He said in a rough voice. He was the biggest out of all the warrior’s and quite intimidating to look at with his heavily tattooed arms hanging out, only wearing a singlet and cargo pants.
“No, I am not leaving until someone tells me what’s going on” The warrior ignores me before reaching for me again and this time I react, stepping to the side. I grabbed his hand, yanking him forward before kneeing him in the stomach. He grunted before I saw the other three men take a step toward me, but I growled at them, making them freeze.
Max stares worriedly and I hear Callie race out the door, alarmed. The man gets up and grabs me around the waist and I throw my head back, head-butting him, but his grip doesn’t waiver in the slightest even though I definitely heard the sickening crack of his nose.
I fight against him and manage to get out of his grip. I can feel Layla on the verge of shifting, not liking the way we are being treated.
“Please Lily, the Alpha doesn‘t want you out here at the moment. Just go with them,” Callie pleads with me.
“No, not until someone tells me where he is and what’s going on” I scream frustrated.I suddenly hear movement behind me before I hear his voice.
“I’m right here, next time you're told to do something Lily, fucking do it” He growls, making me turn around.
The sight of him makes me step back. He is shirtless, only wearing some shorts, and he is drenched in blood. He walks up the steps and grabs my arm, I shake him off.
“What the fuck happened to you?” I ask, stepping out of reach. He growls before grabbing my elbow, pulling me down the stairs.
“Don’t question me, you know not to leave the Packhouse after dark Lily and I know Natalia would have told you not to leave”
“You have to be kidding, right? You have been gone all day and night I just went looking for you”
“Well, you found me now let’s go” He says, pulling me toward the street.
“The rest of you go home” He orders the men that were trying to take me earlier. I dig my feet in, forcing him to come to a stop as everyone darts back into the trees.
“What is going on Damien?” I ask. He growls before tugging my arm.
“Not now Lily let's go home”
“Not until you tell me what happened. Why are you drenched in blood?” I tell him, pulling my arm from his grip.
“That is none of your business, now let’s go” He says, reaching for me, making me step back.
“Lily. Now. My patience is running out”
“Tell me what happened” He growls this time lunging forward and seizing me around the waist he then throws me over his shoulder and starts marching down the street back towards the centre of town.
“Put me down Damien” I tell him, smacking and hitting his back. I hear him growl. Feel it vibrate through his chest. I stop when I recognise the stench coming from the blood he is drenched in, his skin sticky and blood is getting on my clothes.
“Rogues, you have been out killing rogues” I scream before pushing myself up. Damien readjusts me, making me bounce on his shoulder.
