My Alpha

Chapter 16

***LIAM'S POV***

I walk down the hall and head to out room. I know Esme is upset with me, but I can't lose her, one day she will thank me for keeping her.

I open the door and I'm confused when I don't see or smell Esme. I run to the bathroom, empty. Then the closet, empty.

"Esme?" I call out, my heart beating faster then the speed of lightning. She wouldn't leave. She loves me.

'We have to find her,' Levi growls.

'Don't you think I know that?!' I snap at him.

I pace, trying to think of a plan and my eyes fall on a small piece of paper on my pillow. I rush over to it and pick it up, unfolding it. Then I read it.

'Liam, I'm sorry I had to tell you like this. I just don't want to be here anymore. I'm not in love with you anymore and I'm going to my REAL home. I wish you the best of luck. Goodbye. -Esme'

My chest feels tight and I can't breathe. She doesn't mean this. I know she loves me, she is just trying to make this easier, well it's not. I sit on the edge of the bed and hold my head in my hands, rubbing my temples.

I'm going to get my mate.

"Hudson!" I yell in my Alpha tone.

I hear footsteps approach my door.

"Yes Alpha?" Hudson asks confused.

"Call for a meeting in five minutes," I stand up and head out the door.

I'm coming Esme.

***ESME'S POV*** (ALSO TIME CHANGE- 3 days later.)

I walk into my motel room and lock the door behind me.

I've been running for three days and I'm about a days travel from Luca's pack. I put my bags down and then check my phone.

50 missed calls fromm Liam and 40 text messages from him too, just since noon. I sigh and turn off my phone. I walk into the bathroom and take off my clothes and get into the shower, washing the grim of the day away. I turn off the water and wrap a towel around my body and head into the bedroom. I grab a pair of yoga pants and one of Liam's t-shirts and dry my hair before crawling into the motel bed. It takes awhile for sleep to find me, but soon enough, it does.

***********

I wake up suddenly when I hear a knock at the door. My heart beat speeds up. I look at the clock. It's 8:37 am. I get out of the bed and walk over to the door.

Please don't Liam.

I look through the peek hole.

I then see a familiar face, Luca.

With shaky hands, I open the door.

"Ah, dear Esme. I'm glad you have returned," Luca says grinning.

I swallow, "I'm back so you won't hurt my pack."

"Your old pack," he states.

I nod, "Y-yes, my o-old pack. You promised."

"I know, and I will stick to that promise as long as you behave," he says.

"Okay," I say quietly.

"You have ten minutes to grab your things and get ready, then we are leaving," he says, pulling out his phone to check emails.

"Thank you Luca," I say, but his head snaps up and he slaps me.

"Alpha Luca to you. I will let that slide. Don't let it happen again," he spits.
