The next day
"Everything's ready, they're only waiting for you to come out" he says.
"I hope you haven't done anything stupid" I say.
"Well, that depends on what you define stupidity as" he says and smiles.
I don't even have time to reply to him. It's getting a bit late now, the sun is about to rise and I don't want any soul seeing me now.
"Let's go then" I say and pick up my travelling bag. We walk outside the pack house where I see like ten cars parked.
"What the hell!!! Are you insane, do you think I'm going to a party or what?" I ask.
"You need to be protected, as it is you are...", he didn't finish the sentence because of the look I throw at him.
"I'm going alone" I say.
"So get me the car key" I add.
"Hooo man, wait a minute" he shouts and blocks me from collecting the keys from the guard.
"I told you not to do something stupid and here we are, so I'm going alone and that's my final decision" I say angrily.
"I'm sorry but you can't go out there alone, I mean nobody knows where you're even headed to, man" he says in a hushed voice, I guess it's because he doesn't want the guards to hear us.
"I'll be fine" I whisper back.
"Let me go now, I'm kinda getting late you see" I say and try to walk past him but he wouldn't take any of that.
"Come on, you're our Alpha and as your servants, we have to look after your safety all the time" he says.
He's right, if I go alone, I'll leave them all worried and add to there already mourning hearts.
"OK, I'll take two guards with me" I agree.
"No, take at least five" he says.
"Come on man, it's getting really late and I don't want anybody to see me leaving" I say impatiently.
"It's either you take five guards or we can stand here for the rest of this life" he says and I know he clearly means it.
"OK! You win" I give up.
"Hey get two cars ready they're leaving now" he orders.
I made a good choice of my Beta here. He and my former Beta are the best friends I've ever had in my entire life.
A guard comes forward to collect my bag but I refuse him.
"No thanks, I'll hold it in my hand" I say.
I walk over to the car and the driver opens the passengers door for me. I enter but then I remember something and come out.
"Please take care of my sister, will you?" I ask.
"I will Alpha" he says and bows his head.
We all enter the cars and the drivers drive off to where I don't particularly know now.
"Where are we headed to Sir?" the driver asks.
"Just keep driving straight" I say.

Katrina
The next day
I'm laying on my bed silently and it's really getting boring. I don't even know for how many days I've been stuck here and now, I literally wanna get out. I'm not a type of person who wants to be caged up in one place for a long time, even an hour is a long time for me but now I've spent almost 24 hours laying down and doing nothing but day dreaming.
"Are you awake?" star light asks.
I nod my head because they still haven't removed the nebulizer.
"Your parents will be here any minute" she says and as if on cue, someone open the door to my ward room and guess what, it's my parents and a doctor.
"Morning Katrina" the doctor says.
I nod my head.
"You are doing great I see, you're definitely a fighter" she adds.
I smile even though I don't understand what she means that I'm a fighter.
"Morning Darling" my mom says as she sits besides me.
I turn to her direction. I wanna hug her and talk to her but this thing on my face is obstructing me. I motion for the doctor to come close to me. When she's close enough to understand me, I motion to her that I want her to remove the nebulizer.
"No sweetheart, you are still not strong enough, it'll take time for your breathing to come back to normal" she apologizes.
My father walks closer to me and hold my hand.
"Yes dear, if they remove it now, you'll go back to your previous condition and we don't want to lose you or do you want to stop seeing us around you?" he asks softly.
I quickly shake my head, I've crossed all danger, walked many kilometers, just to see them even if it's just once and I won't let it slip away just like that. The doctor inject me and give me all my meditation.
"Be a good girl and you'll get well soon" she says.
I nod my head and smile at her before she walks out of the room. My parents keep telling me how much they have missed me and how they felt when they found out about my accident. What really happened that made me end up in a life supporting machine or something like that?. I can't wait for the day that they are going to remove this thing from my face. I have many questions that I want to be answered.

I open my bag to take something from it but my instincts are telling me not to.
"You know that this is a very bad idea" my beast warns.
"I know but what's the harm in giving it a try" I say.
"For all I care, she can even die, that's none of our business, we're not even sure who she is" he growls.
"She's mine and if you don't like her then you'll have to deal with it because she's OURS" my wolf fights back.
"I beg your pardon, Sir" the driver says confusedly.
Damn it! I hope that he doesn't understand what I mean.
"No, I'm not talking to you" I say.
I lie back down in my seat.
"You guys got to be more careful" I mind link them.
"Then what do you suggest now?" my beast asks.
"We go out there and find the answers" I answer.
"OK, but that's it" he says, clearly indicating that he doesn't want anything to do with her.
I sit up and bring out her bag. I sniff the bag and her scent cloud my mind.
"Mine" my wolf says.
"Whatever" my beast growls, trying to hide the effect that her scent has on him.
I reach out for the bag's zip but then I hesitate. I just can't look into others belongings just like that even though I'm the Alpha.
"But she's our mate" my wolf whines.
OK just this once. I open the zip and keep the bag on my lap. I put my hand inside and the first thing I see when I bring my hand out is a bra.
"Ughh, that's so disgusting" my beast says in disgust.
"As you know, the first to talk, is the one that likes something the most" I tease him and he didn't reply.
I hold it carefully with my other hand and start to examine it. From the look of it, she's a B-size. Subconsciously, I sniff it, just to make sure if it's really hers. This scent is more than I can take. I let out a soft moan.
My driver turns to me but thanks to my beast's fast reflexes and hyper sensitivity, I hide the bra before he turns.
"Any problem, Sir?" he asks.
"Uhumm, nothing" I say trying to hide my reaction.
I know that he can sense her scent too since he's a werewolf but I just can't tolerate it to see other people looking at what belongs to me.
"Seriously, since when did she belongs to you?" my beast asks sarcastically.
"Since the day we found out she's our mate" my wolf answers back.
I return the bra back into the bag and try to bring out something again.
"Please don't bring out anything else again, just concentrate on finding the f*****g damn way" my beast pleads.
"OK" I say.
With the scent I have of her now, it's enough for me to track her. I open the window. I deeply inhale the fresh morning breeze. It's filled with other werewolves scent but one of them stands out. It's hers, so she was here too. And from the strong ness of the scent she has stayed here for a long time and she left not long ago.
"Follow this way" I say to the driver.
"This road leads to Port's ville" he says.
"Then we're going to Port's ville" I say and lie back down on my seat.
I put on a shade on my eyes and keep concentrating only on her scent. It's time to end this once and for all.
