The Rich Orphan

Chapter 9

Noah's POV

"I do not want to be your mate." Eliza screamed at me, I felt my heart crack and split I clutched my chest like it would stop it falling apart. Eliza stormed out before I could even say another word. I stood there frozen; My heart felt like it had a ripped from me. It was like time had stopped, the pain would never stop, and finally Cathy found me. "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing." I muttered.

Cathy looked at me pityingly. "Look, I need to tell you something but um..please don't get angry." Cathy said, nervously.

"Just spit it out." I snapped.

"Eliza has moved rooms"

"What! Why?" I spat. Finally looking up, the only thing that was keeping me sane, was that Eliza would be near me.

"She didn't want to be near you." Cathy stumbled.

I howled. She really hated me. I sunk to my knees. "Leave" I bellowed, my Alpha in full state of me.

Cathy scuttled out of the room terrified. I didn't care anymore.

==========================================================================

Eliza POV

I stormed of that room, fuming. My body was shuddering. I didn't care what he thought. However through all of this, my heart was in so much pain, tears were coming to my eyes, I wanted to love him so badly. I needed to get out of here or I would go back running for him, I really wanted to go on my bike and see Tigga however of course it was at my house, however I was stuck, for once in my life I couldn't run away. Pacing in the hallway I tried to lose my energy but I came across a dish containing many keys. Picking my way through I found a very nice Porsche key. That would be good enough. Another part of talents was I could drive, I hadn't done it enough to drive a manual but they were rich enough to own automatic cars. Walking to the door I opened it, to hear the biggest howl making myself shudder, it was Noah as much as I wanted to help him I couldn't, he needed to get used to being without me. People were running into the hallway, I slipped out of the door quickly walking, unfortunately someone saw me. Running I went to all the cars. How many did they need? Finally I found the Porsche and hopped in. This was a very nice car, it had cream interior with lush seating, starting the car I heard the purr of the ferocious car, I grinned to myself. I heard scuffles and howls. Great, they had shifted. I needed to get of here before I went insane. I was going to see Tigga he always calmed my nerves. I drove breaking the speed limit easily, with the comfort of the engine humming, I expected to be stopped by the pack, however instead I felt completely alone. My muscles automatically relaxed, I liked being alone, however there was still that feeling of emptiness in the pit of my stomach, I wanted Noah so badly.

=========================================================================

Noah POV

I couldn't help but shift there was so many emotions running through my head; confusion, frustration, anger, love. I wanted to understand Eliza but she just kept running away from me. I was understanding that as much as I wanted to be at my mate's side all the time and help her she wasn't like that, she was strong, independent, but it killed me she had so many secrets and doesn't understand how I could help her so much and that she wouldn't be hurting my family. I could feel Eliza anger; she didn't like to be trapped, I had commanded the pack not to follow her, she needed space. Even though Eliza didn't want me, she needed me. I could see the physical need to be with me; however she was different, most mates needed to be together all the time however she had very strong will power.

I paced up and down the hallway waiting for Eliza it would look weird to see a werewolf in the middle of a house, however this happened more than could be thought of as normal. I was terrified that she wouldn't come home I had never been so scared. If she didn't come home I would just drag her home kicking and screaming if I had too. Deciding it would be best to go for run and release my anger I went to the woods. Our house was very grand however we decided this location for very good reasons, the crime levels were very low, so we wouldn't have police officers snooping in our house and it had the biggest forest in this part of the country. We had a huge open garden with flowers and grass but if you walked further, you came across our forests and fields, my parents had bought them so we could so our true selves; like mother nature could show theirs. I let out breath of relief and started to run through the forest the repeative sound of my strong heart beating. This was the best time of our life, I felt such a release of energy and happiness. I flew past the trees, I felt so alive.

Eliza's POV

Slowly I drove up to the very old house, that I now would have to call home. When I first came I hadn't taken in its full glory, it was grey brick with slate as the roof, it was defiantly old and they probably renovated it to make it as stunning as it was today. Sighing, I slid out of the car. I liked this car very much, it was feisty and beautiful. I looked at the front door and their Mr Garrod stood looking furious. "In my office now." He growled. Muttering I slumped over to his office, I was in a lot of trouble.

Dropping myself onto the plush leather seat. Mr Garrod slipped into his office chair whilst glaring at me, we sat in silence whilst we stared at each other. "Okay I am going to ignore the fact that you: Stole a car, ran away and have already upset my family." He sighed. "I don't understand why you cannot just be with him." I kept glaring at him, willing for his head to explode. "Do you even know what a mate is?"

He caught my attention, I was now interested to know what a mate was and why I felt so different about Noah. "No, sir" I mumbled. That was enough for Mr Garrod.

"Don't call me Mr Garrod or Sir it's Jed." He ordered. "A mate is someone that you a bounded to if you like it not. They could be the worst person on the planet but you would love them. They will show your best side of you and bring so much happiness to you." Jed stated, looking at me with amusement, he leaned forward. "So my question is, why cannot you not be happy with my son?"

"Everyone wants to know that answer. Even I don't know but I cannot fall for him. I will ruin him and your pack."

Jed sighed. "You will fall for him." He smiled.

"Don't underestimate me." I snarled.

"Oh I don't. I saw your combat skills at that house, they were incredible for an untrained wolf you have a gift."

"I am not training." I started trembling.

"No I understand that, but I have a few rules."

"What happens if I do not follow them?"

"Most people I would throw them out of the pack, but I know you do not care, so I will make your life hell." Jed threatened. "Carrying on, if you do what I ask I will give you a car, a motorbike and a fake driving license, I will try be nice to you, I will listen to your ideas and try to understand you, however all you have to do is come to dinner every night, tell me where you are going, go to school every day and do basic training on how to calm you anger, which every new werewolf has to do."

I thought about it. "I don't need a car or motorbike, I will buy a car myself and get my motorbike back, I will do everything else, but I am not telling you where I go." I decided.

"I am sorry I cannot agree to that." Jed argued.

"It is my only freedom."

"And I want to keep you safe."

"What if I promise to be back every night and I have to ask for your permission to stay out?"

"How do I know you are not lying?"

I looked Jed in the eye. "Because you are my Alpha and as much as I would like to leave I have to respect and not lie to you."

Jed smiled. "Fine you can leave, dinner is in five minutes. You will join school on Monday." Grabbing my jacket, I walked out of the room.

"Jed?"

"Yes?"

"I want to research my family history, do you know anywhere I can do that?"

"I have Pack records here. After dinner you can look at them. I am guessing you want to do that alone?"

"Like always."

"And Eliza?"

"Yes?"

"You stink, go and have a shower before dinner."

"Fine." I grinned, this was it. I was going to find the truth of my family.
