Runaway

"Isabelle, what do you remember from the day your father told you, you would become the Luna of your pack?" I look up at Xavier shaking slightly, his green eyes filled with nothing but kindness.

It was a strange feeling, feeling safe. Xavier and I had arrived before a large house at the end of the forest. The walk had been silent but the air full of questions. I guess I couldn't expect anything beyond the cordial light-hearted conversation before the truth came tumbling out. Except unlike Theo, Xavier had a gentle way with words, coaxing the answer out of me.

"Isabelle I know you must have a lot of questions but I need you to answer mine first." Twiddling my thumbs I close my eyes.

That day had changed everything, I'd always been an omega yes. Unvalued but the only abuse I had ever received was verbal and I guess at the point I still had some fire in me.

"W-well it j-just kind of h-happend." I say timidly letting the memories stumble out.

"She's gone." I hear the rough voices from behind the stairwell creeping closer to the door.

"What do you mean she's gone?! I NEED HER!" A vicious growl rings through the empty house as my heart rate spikes.

"She disappeared." Came a shaky reply, whoever was talking was clearly afraid.

"How. Did. She. Disappear?" The reply was curt but without being able to see either of them it was almost impossible to tell if they were mad or impatient.

"I d-don't know, Alpha she just disappeared." I blink, that's the Alpha talking? Who is he talking to? Who is gone?

Inching further towards the door, I struggle to hear the rest of the conversation.

"I told you to watch over her, make sure they couldn't break their end of the deal."

"I know Alpha sir and I have been."

"If you had been she would be here right now!" The Alpha cried his voice once again ringing through the house.

"She went to school there's no way for me to follow her there but she's always been safe. There's so many people there not to mention both her brother's I never thought they would let her out of their sight."

"You're an idiot! Only the younger one knows about the deal."

"W-what?"

"You heard what I said boy. Only the younger one knows he is his father's son after all." The Alpha growled out, "what am I supposed to do now?"

"There are many other girls suitable I'm sure w-." The second voice tried only to be interrupted by the first.

"You're a foul just like the rest of them, I need her. She's the only one."

"B-but Alpha sir she's g-gone."

"I KNOW SHE'S GONE YOU JUST TOLD ME!" I sink back from the door as the shouting becomes too much to bear.

Within minutes the shouting turns to whispering and before I know it I'm hurrying up the stairs as the door swings open.

A/N: The next part is exactly the same as the prologue, I have done this to add more context as the prologue will be changed but if you thought it was familiar that is why :)

"Are you insane?!" I scream at my father, he just looks at me with a look that can freeze over molten lava.

"You should be honoured."
