Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6 ALPHA JACKSON POV We had been standing outside the house for a while now waitingfor Taylor to pack her belongings and I knew that she was a girl and everything but it shouldn't take herthat long.

So, I walked back into the house and I went to her room and started banging on the door.

But there was no answer.

Her mother followed me down the hallway.

"Please.You're going to scare her." Avery says.

"For some reason, I think it takes a lot to scare your daughter." I said banging on the door again.

But there was again no answer.I tried to door handle but it was locked so I put my shoulder into thedoor smashing it open and I walked inside.

There was a suitcase with clothes thrown everywhere but there was no Taylor.

The window was wide open and I knew exactly what had happened.

Was she really happier here with these abusive bastards then back with her own mother.I couldn'tmake sense of that.

"On no Taylor." Avery said more to herself then to me.

She was worried for her daughter.

I stormed through the house and I went around to the back of the house and I picked up her scentimmediately.I told the warriors to stay here and watch everyone to make sure that they don't leave andthat they aren't in on anything.

Lucas was in the car and Avery was really worried and being consoled by Isaac but I was determinedto replace her myself.I started following her scent away from the house and leading towards the middle oftown.

They didn't live anywhere near the woods.

They lived in the middle of town and normally that would make it a little harder with everyone else'sscent mixed in together, but it was the middle of the night and there was no one else around.I knew thatI would be able to pick up her scent.I wasn't letting her stay in that house.

The way her stepmother spoke to her, the way her father didn't stick up for her, the locks on the kitchencabinets, a teenager having to go to school and work to support herself and training on top of that.

At least she went to training.

But it still made no sense why she would run away.

Why she would want to stay here instead of coming home with us.She did mention friends earlier.

She's probably run off to go and see one of them before she leaves or something like that.She couldhave just asked.

I don't know she didn't. And then I heard someone behind me and I spun around and saw Taylorwalking towards me.

"Why the fuck did you run away?"

I yelled at her.

"I didn't run away.I needed to say goodbye to someone and I knew that you wouldn't let me do it oncewe were on the road.This was the only way to do it."

She says stopping and looking back at me completely innocently.

"You could have at least asked.I might have said yes." I say.

"I doubt it."

She says turning back around and walking back to the house.

The other scent that I smelt on her earlier was even stronger now.I assumed it was from trainingbefore.

It had to be from training.

She would have been in hand-to-hand combat with someone at training so she would have had theirscent on her.

But that's obviously who she went to say goodbye to. I didn't understand that.

Why would she need to go and say goodbye to another guy that desperately.

And then it hit me.

They were more than just friends.

She has a boyfriend here which is why she questioned leaving at all.

She has someone here that she doesn't want to leave behind.

But why is she coming out saying that she just wanted to say goodbye.

Maybe he does mean anything special, maybe he doesn't mean too much but she owed him agoodbye.

I wasn't going to press the issue.

I found her and I was taking her back to her house where I would physically watch her pack hersuitcase and get in the car with me.

I would be driving her home.

Not her mother or Isaac.

TAYLOR POV As soon as I got to the house that I was looking for I saw a window on inside and I tooka deep breath and walked up the stairs.

I knocked on the door and Ethan answered it pretty quickly.

"Taylor.Is everything alright?" He asked looking outside concerned.

"Are you alone?" I asked.

"Of course I am. Come in."

He says pulling me inside by my arm.

"I just had to come and see you.My mom and Alpha Jackson are at my house.They're going to knowthat I'm gone soon and they will be able to track me here so I can't stay long.I can't risk them replaceingout about you." I explained as he closed the door and I closed the curtains so that no one could see in.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"Alpha Jackson saw the house that I was living in.The padlocks on all the kitchen cupboards so that Ican't steal my stepmother's food whenever she wasn't looking." I explained.

" Hold on a second.That bitch has padlocks on all the cupboards?" He asked.

"You're missing the point.Alpha Jackson saw it and he's ordering me to go back home with them.He'snot letting me stay here.I'm meant to be in my room right now pack but I snuck out the window.I had tocome and say goodbye." I say walking closer to him and grabbing his hands.

"You're really leaving."

He says letting go of my hand but he put his arms around my waist instead.

"Yeah.Jackson is going to come looking for me.He looked pretty adamant that I was leaving with themand he isn't the joking type.He's fucking scary." I say.

"I know.I've heard the stories about him.I'm sorry that you have to leave with him.Isn't there somethingthat you can do?" He asked trying to think of a solution but we both knew that was pointless.

"No.He's here in Richmond Pack.He's probably tracking my scent as we speak.I can't stay long.I don'twant you to get mixed up in all of this." I say.

"He'll smell my scent on you."

Ethan says trying to take a step back but I grabbed him and pulled him closer because I really didn'tcare.

"Talready have your scent on me from training earlier." I say.

"Good point." He says.

"I'm really going to miss you Ethan." I say.

And he pulled me into a hug.

"I'm going to miss you too.More than you will ever know.But you'll only be three hours away.It's not toofar to travel." He says.

"I guess not.But I doubt after this the Alpha will ever let me leave his territory again." I chuckled dryly.

"That's fine.I'll come and visit you.He doesn't need to know about us.I'll make something up." Ethansays.

"You're going to lie to Alpha Jackson for me?" I asked.

"Absolutely.If it means I get to see you again.I will definitely do that." He says.

And I leaned up to kiss him.

Neither of us wanted to let go.

We didn't want to say goodbye.

But we knew that we had to.

And I knew that I had to be the one to pull away.

Otherwise, I never would.

"I have to go.Before they replace me here." I say.

"Alright.I'll see you soon." He says.

"I hope so." I say.

And I turned to leave the house quickly, trying to keep my emotions in check.I walked down the road fora couple of minutes when I saw Alpha Jackson coming towards me.

"Wow.You really are a good tracker."

I say as I casually walked past him and headed back to my dad's house.

When we got there I went back to my bedroom and this time Jackson stood at the door and watched asI packed all of my clothes and everything into my two suitcases.I was pissed off that he was watchingmy every move, but at the same time, I wasn't surprised.I did just take off without telling anyone.I wassurprised that he didn't kill me on the spot when he found me.I saw him looking around my room andhe saw the mini fridge where I kept drinks and stuff like that and he saw the little kitchenette I set up ona table on the other side of the room while my bed was in the middle of the room.

His facial expression didn't change at all.

When I finished packing Isaac put the bags in the back of his car but Jackson then grabbed my armand pulled me towards him.

"She's coming back to the territory with me.I'll drop her off at your house when we get there." Jacksonsaid to my mother.

And instantly she looked at me worried.She looked like she wanted to say something but she backeddown.

"It's alright Mom.I'll see you at home." I say.

So Jackson led me to his car and he opened the passenger door for me and I got inside while he got inthe driver's seat.

Three warriors got into another car with Lucas and the other warriors that he bought shifted and weregoing to run back to the territory.

I looked at the car with Lucas in it and he was staring straight up at me.

He looked like he was really feeling sorry for himself.

And I knew that this wasn't good situation.

As soon as I was in the car with him, alone, I knew that I was screwed.

This was going to be where he dishes his punishment.

My heart started racing a little bit and I saw him looking at me out the corner of his eye and I used mybreathing and every technique that Ethan had taught me to slow my heart rate and to calm down sothat Jackson didn't know that I was actually scared right now.

I didn't know how pissed he was that I ran away.

But I had a feeling that I was about to replace out.
