Taken By The Alpha

Chapter 16 -- Ready For Her New Life

Rae was trying on different clothes and feeling happy as could be, she watched as Michael surveyed each outfit when she came out. He would either give a smile or a look of disapproval. Most of the time they would end up talking out some of the disapproval, but she understood where some of it came from as well. She was understanding what it was like to be taken, understanding what it was like to belong to someone, this was not someone she had ever had before and she loved it. This was the image she had in her mind of how true love was supposed to be. The last time she stepped out of the dressing room, she heard a familiar voice and she looked up with fear across her face. Looking at the counter she ran back into the dressing room. Michael tried to connect with her, but her mind was in a complete scatter, he went to the front counter to talk to the owner,"Is there anything I can help with Trina?" Her eyes didn't betray him or Rae but she let him know what was going on, "This gentleman is looking for someone from their pack up in Hattisburg. Seems like she went missing a while ago." "Well I'm the pack Alpha here, Michael Davidson, I might be able to help, but I would appreciate if you didn't just show up at my packs businesses and start questioning them, I'm not really sure how you do it back home, but when someone new comes to town, they usually check in with the the Alpha." The man gave him a low growl and stepped back, "Well she is my niece and I'm a tad bit concerned, I didn't really think to check where you might be, I really didn't think you might be working or owning a women's clothing store, but if that is how you are."  Michael growled back, flashing his eyes to the man, "As Alpha I help out where ever I am needed, and I was needed here today, seeing as Trina's help is out sick. But I'm guessing you wouldn't know anything about that. It doesn't seem like you would do something like that. I'm guessing you aren't the Alpha, wait, from what I heard the next in line for Alpha in Hattisburg is female, would that be your niece?" Rae smelled her uncle as he did right before he went to attack and she came out of the dressing room in her wolf form and growled, ready to lunge at him. Just as she was about to attack, Michael stood between them and told her, "You will go back to that dressing room and you will come back out as you are supposed to, this is not how this will be handled, he has already broken several pack laws and there are three soldiers outside the door now, little one. Never worry bout me, even if I can't take someone myself there is someone not to far away." Rae went back to the dressing room and put her regular clothes back on and brought the others out. Her eyes were still tinged with red as she wrapped herself around Michael. The man growled at both of them and raised his voice, "You said you didn't see her, you lying bitch," "Actually, I never answered you, I made sure my Alpha knew you were in here and then called my husband which was next door so he could hear what was going on and that is when you became surrounded." "My people aren't stupid, maybe if you had of listened to your true Alpha instead of trying to force her into something she didn't want, you would know better." Michael kissed Rae on the forehead to calm her, "Trina, can you take her to the back and get her some tea to help calm her as we tend to him and whoever else might be around?" "Of course Michael, come with me Rae."
