Chapter Kaia POV
"I know who you are?" His words whisper into my ear, as he leans forward into my personal space. I turn to look at him, one corner of his mouth curling up slightly. How is it even possible for him to be this close to me, without him feeling the pull of the bond?
All I can feel is that same humming vibration, the unmistakable pull to another.
The sensation I have grown to loathe with Than.
"Oh?" I respond trying to not give too much away, my shoulders pushing back automatically rises in a tensed motion.
A slight panicky feeling rises in my chest but I manage to suppress it just in time. I am preparing my body to deny my identity. To lie for my life. "You we're running from some warriors. Why?"
"I have my reasons..."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"I'm sure you do." His eyes narrow, his gaze piercing as his words leave his lips.
He was a guarded individual...almost sinister. His aura is strong, perhaps the strongest I have felt since being with my father.
Something was telling me not to trust him, perhaps it was the fact that he wasn't responding to the connection...I'm not sure, but I had no choice.
His pack served the only solution to my current rogue predicament and it may lead me to more. information on Father's whereabouts.
He hasn't seemed to have figured out that I'm from the Amber Desert pack member, at least that was something. His lack of information may bide me the time I require...
A blacked out ear picked us up at the coffee shop and for the entire journey this alpha sat in the front, not making conversation once.
His beta on the other hand was exceedingly talkative in the back as a pack member drove the car.
It wasn't until we arrived at the Black Phantom gates that the alpha uttered a word. And judging by the untrusting stares of the guards in my direction, I was the root cause of their anxiety.
If they are this untrusting of outsiders, how the hell did Father manage to gain access?
The car continues, until we arrive at what must be the main hub of the pack. A large modern built house with large glass windows is surrounded by tall trees to offer shade, no doubt, from the days of the hot sun. If it wasn't on the ground, I would think it was a tree house... it was like something from the future.
It was....very open. It sat in the middle of two buildings not as exquisitely built but still not left wanting. "The pack house for unmated wolves that choose to move out of the family home and the pack hall, used for weekly meals, events and child care." The alpha speaks for the first time in an hour or two, pointing to each building as he explains their purpose.
"Here we support each other, no one is left alone." Alone?
His words seem to resonate within me.
As I continue to take in the inner pack buildings, a group exit the pack building laughing amongst themselves, stopping when they see their alpha before them. His presence seems to cut off their joy immediately, was he a strict alpha?
"Alpha..." They greet him, their eyes combing me with that some level of mistrust. With a simple nod from their alpha they clear off, continuing on their originally course. A few of the females glance back at me with a look I can't quite read. 1 "The pack house is also used to house most guests... Ezra clears his throat, regaining my attention on the pair of them.
I go to pick up my bag to head to the pack house, when the beta reaches down and picks up my bag for
me.
"She shall be placed in the alpha house." The alpha orders at his beta, my eyes flickering between the pack house and the alpha house.
I'll have less privacy at the alpha house....
"But it may give us a better chance to find information on Father..." My wolf offers in my mind.
I'll have to be exceedingly careful, he knows which pack I have come from. He might be trying to get information out of me, just as much as I am his pack.
Walking towards the alpha house, I am just about to put my foot through the front door when the alpha stops and turns.
His aura flaring up before me.
"Ezra, we need to prepare for the test..." He abruptly demands from his beta, his eyes looking down at me, his expression unreadable.
"Test?" I gulp. I thought we had cleared this up, I couldn't jump off a roof top, not in my current state.
"Oh yes, the test to become a pack member..."
