Chapter 4- Caden
Chapter 4- Caden
[Make sure you bring a mate, or else.] My father links me with a warning in his voice causing me to clench the steering wheel tighter as I leave the safety of my pack. The magic of the barrier hiding us from view passes over me, reminding me that my secret must be kept hidden when I drive through the human towns. I cannot let anyone know I am a werewolf until I reach The Run. I hate the condensing tone my father uses towards me. Knowing that he sees me as nothing but a useless wolf even if I carry the same Alpha blood as he does, especially considering my mother was also a pure blooded Alpha wolf when she was alive. I stop the truck as soon as I am a safe distance inside neutral territory and away from the pack line, taking a deep breath before allowing my anger to radiate through the mind link. The last thing I need is an argument with my father while still just in reach to be pulled back and beaten. [Yes sir.] I reply once calm enough. My body shakes with anger and rage as I role down the window to allow the familiar scent of trees, dirt and foliage to calm me. An angry wolf at The Run is a dangerous wolf and I have witnessed one to many deaths caused by a stupid Theta or Warrior instigating a pissed off Alpha or Beta to look tough in front of the she wolves until blood is splattered and screams of panic resounds around the clearing. With the pack situated in the norther part of Ontario, My eyes flicker to the dash board and I press harder on the gas after realising I may be late. Just another two hours on this road and I would reach the destination where The Run would take place. The Run has been around since the original pack was created. The first Alpha king and leader of all wolves around the world created this event when she wolves were created and in limited supplies to the population of werewolves. The species needed to survive and the strongest genes needed to be passed down, hence The Run and the claiming of a mate. After the success of the first run the tradition carried down. Something about taking a female by force seemed like the ultimate manly thing to do and during those time periods where the male had to be strong and their offspring stronger to survive made sense at the time. Unfortunately, this meant mateless wolves from around the world are forced to come to the Moon Goddess’s Forest twice a year to find a mate. I wish I did not have to go but if I did not find a mate this week then I would be forced to step down as the heir to my pack and let Felix take it. This will be a mistake and the down word spiral he would create will be catastrophic to say the least. My grip on the wheel tightens even more as I clench my jaw. I will not let him steal my birthright; I will do everything to keep his power hungry hands away from my pack and away from the pack bank account. I know Felix will ruin Wœlf Haven and my pack will crumble under his reign. With a frustrated growl I pull to the curb and get out, kicking a nearby tree as I let out my pent up anger. Anger at my father for continuing to force pack mates to The Run. Anger at the abuse the she-wolves face every day. Angry that I can do nothing until I take over and get rid of my Father. After a few minutes of angrily attacking the sturdy tree till it was nothing but fire wood, I stop, clenching and unclenching my fists until my breathing evens and I crack my neck. Stretching slightly, I walk back to my truck and drive away. I might as well get this done and over with and get back to my pack with my mate in tow. Maybe after the shock of being claimed I can win her heart and give her a chance to see that I am actually a good man. That I will never harm her the way my father harmed my mother until she committed suicide. Who am I trying to fool though? If I had to force myself onto a she wolf then I already harmed her.Related chapters
The Run Chapter 5- Grace
Chapter 5- Grace The truck finally comes to a stop and I lifted my head, the sky slightly darker as the sun begins to set. By the smell of many wolves congregating together that we have finally reached our destination, The Run. The engine is turned off as I watch wolves walk by the truck. Some call out to their friends while others walked over and peer into the back where the cages that held me and Amelia in to see if we are good mate candidates. I can hear the she-wolf beside me growl at those curious to see who were held and couldn’t help but roll my eyes. [Me-me calm the fuck down before some dumb ass decides he likes it rough and feisty.] I growl out in annoyance through our link. She needs to be quiet, pretend to not care if she were to survive this event mateless. [Sorry Ace.] the growls beside me subside and the air around us settles as Amelia stops and calms down. I know that when our cages are removed from the truck and that we
The Run Chapter 6- Caden
Chapter 6- Caden After a long drive and a detour to the nearest Tim Horton’s, I finally make it to the location of The Run. It looks like I just missed Ancient Eli’s speech about the rogue vampires judging by the time and the way a stage setup is being dismantled but my father thankfully gave me the information earlier in his office. Fledglings were nothing to take lightly, their bloodlust causing the fall of many cities for centuries when not trained in a coven. Their presence will bring a greater challenge this year if anyone were to run into one. With careful driving, I manoeuvre my truck around the parking spaces provided for those who drove as I think about what antics to expect this year other than the fledgling. Last year a group of rogues called Raggers kidnapped many omegas and rogue she-wolves as they were the weakest among those attending, hiding them and raping them to their hearts content. Unfortunately no one was able to find their hiding
The Run Chapter 7 – Grace
Chapter 7 – Grace Trees fly past me every step I take, my breathing even as I take in the scents and sounds of the forest around me. I need to cover as much ground as I can before the men are given a chance to chase after us, to claim us. If I can just find a river or stream, I can swim until I find a hiding spot and wait out the first few hours when many will be busy fucking. The forest is quiet, only the sounds of nigh time creature can be heard. No vampires or faeries either. Then the loud sound of a gun shot rings clear, even if the sound is muffled by the distance. I stop running, realizing that the ten minute head start is up and soon the males will be on us, hunting down their prey. With urgency running through my body, I take a deep breath and focus on scenting for water, instantly bolting left the moment the fresh scent of cold water hits my nose. As I doge more trees, the sounds of wolves crashing through the brush with no regards draw closer and I worry I m
The Run Chapter 8 – Caden
Chapter 8 – Caden “Please! Some one help me!” A voice screams out just to my right, causing my foot to pause mid step. I want to turn, to rush over and help the woman that is begging but before I can move, the sounds of clothes being ripped and the groan of a male follow shortly after her plea. I close my eyes and try to force the rage simmering from within. A woman, an innocent woman, is being raped and I am helpless to save her all because the mating process has begun and his mark will be on her soon. I hate this, hate not being able to save this poor she-wolf from her fate as her heat will soon follow and the man that just raped her will do it again and again until she is pregnant with his pup. With a silent prayer that this new mate of hers will treat her right, I continue walking, heading towards the river and away from the scene behind me. It’s been an hour since the males were released into the forest and all around me the sounds of consensual s
The Run Chapter 9 – Grace
Chapter 9 – Grace I jerk awake, the screams of a she-wolf piercing my dreams and forcing me awake. She is close and I can tell there is a male chasing her by the way she sobs with fear. “Stay away from me!” She pleads, her voice pulling at my heart. But I curl into a ball and pray that my scent is hidden. I feel like a coward, not running out to help the girl, but if I do while exhausted, he will come for me instead. “Come on baby. Don’t you want to feel my hard throbbing cock inside you?” The male taunts. I shut my eyes and wish that I did not hear that, hear a man taunting a woman like she is nothing but a brood mare. “I said stay away from me!” She screams again, but her scream is muffled as a loud thud hitting the ground is heard. Silence follows but then the unmistakable sounds of a man grunting in satisfaction and flesh against flesh breaks it. The she-wolf had been caught and the male has claimed a mate. I do my be
The Run Chapter 10 – Caden
Chapter 10 – Caden I watch with worry as the sky begins to brighten, realizing just how close daylight is. Amelia and I had found the river about an hour ago, walking along the stream up river in hopes of finding Grace. It seems like this petite blonde did not want to give up until we found her friend. But no matter my protest on needing to find shelter, Amelia just keeps going, her resolve stronger than most wolves I have ever met. “Amelia, we need to find somewhere to sleep before we fall from exhaustion.” I state for the umpteenth time, intending to pull the she-wolf to a stop just as she slips, her body falling fast. Luckily, I grab her, pulling her body to mine and see the exhaustion on her face that she kept hidden from my view. “Just a little longer.” She pleads and I sigh, lifting the woman into my arms and moving forward. “If I find a hiding spot before we find Grace, we are going to rest. You say Grace is smart
The Run Chapter 11 – Grace
Chapter 11 – Grace The feeling of being watched settles on my body, my steps slowing as I slowly move away from the water and off the gravel lining the river shores. I have a feeling someone is stalking me like prey and if I need to protect myself, I would rather do it on solid ground and not on gravel slick from the river water. Something inside me screams that this person is not wolf, leaving only two options – Fae or Vampire. I prefer the Fae. Although I continue forward, I keep my senses alert for any movements that will come my way. If its Fae, I will have to stop moving and talk to them, reassure them I am not a threat and show them the token on my ear. If it is a vampire, I will have to be ready to fight to the death. The forest slowly quiets, the sounds of night life fading away until an earie silence is left. Taking a deep breath, I try to pinpoint where the threat is coming from, dodging backwards just in time for a black figure to come crashi
The Run Chapter 12 – Caden
Chapter 12 – Caden The sounds of night animals has me waking, realizing that Amelia is wrapped around me. With a sigh, I slowly pry the she-wolf’s grip from my body and climb off the mattress to stretch and see what the sky outside looks like. Walking out of the cave, I lean against the entrance and scan my surroundings, keeping my senses alert for any signs of movement before turning my gaze to the twilight sky. It looks as if the sun has just set meaning now will be a good time to continue on foot. Amelia and I will be safe from the wolves looking for a mate and I have no intentions of allowing any male to touch this she-wolf. Making my way back inside, I spot Amelia now curled into a ball on the mattress, making me chuckle as I think about how vulnerable this she-wolf is. She is lucky I am the one to have run into her and not some other wolf as she would have been claimed by now with how heavy of a sleeper she is. “Amelia, its time to
