Taken By The Alpha

Chapter 17--Ready To Hunt

**Ok a chapter to leave you with since I have to work the next couple of days and twelve hour shifts are no joke. I will not feel like doing anything but coming home and crashing, so no writing till my days off. Then again, you might have to wait till next week, the next book in my favorite series comes out Tuesday and I will start reading it after appointments Wednesday. This gives all of you time to catch up, comment up and input up. 11/13/16**

     Michael and his cousin Tony decided they were going to start  getting ready to hunt the rest of whoever came searching for Rae. He knew that the uncle didn't come by himself and he wasn't going to leave his mate in the state that she was in. He couldn't take her with him, not with the way she was, she was on the verge of ripping her uncle's head off as it was. "Rae, I need you to listen to me, please little one, I'm doing this for your own good, for our own good. Tony and I will go hunt for the others, Kalisa and Clea will be here with you in case they by some chance show up. I doubt that will happen but I know the three of you can protect mama and dad. I need you to understand, for this I HAVE to release Tani, it is a family matter and she has to be released."  Rae nodded her head, she understood that she was a hot wire and would be no good to him if she went off on a tangent when they were hunting. "I need you to promise me one thing though, Michael, Sir, Please, I need you to promise you will come back to me. I can't lose you now that I have you." Michael grabbed her wrists and put both her hands behind her back pulling her to him, he savagely kissed her, taking her mouth like he would never see her again but also making a promise that he would be back. "I promise you little one, I promise I will be back and things will be fine."

     In the next moment Tani came walking in the door and she went running to her brother, "I'm so sorry, please forgive me, I never should have betrayed you." "Tani, tell me you had nothing to do with this. Tell me you had nothing to do with her family looking for her here." "Craig said you threatened him and he was pissed off, he said he was gonna pay you back and I didn't know what he was gonna do and I couldn't stop him, from where I was." "Are you telling me that Craig did this Tani? Did Craig find a way to get in touch with her family and let them know she was here?" "I think he did, that is the only way I can think of them being here, plus I haven't seen or heard from him since then." Tani dropped her head then looked up to Rae, "Please forgive me, I didn't realize how bad it was, I didn't know that they were like that they were willing to force you to marry your own cousin or kill you?" Rae's head popped up when she heard the last part, she was never told that, she didn't know that they had planned that, it must have been something new they decided, if they can't make her do what they want, they will just get rid of her and take over that way. Michael took Rae in his arms again, hugging her tight, "You will stay here with my family, the rest of us will hunt, you will help my sisters protect my mama and dad, before this night is over with, your pack will belong to you again, one way or another." Michael said that before shifting and flashing his eyes a deadly red color, as he walked out the door with his cousin he howled long enough to gather everyone's attention and linked with all to let them know the plan. Rae had taken on her wolf form and walked up to him before he left and they shared affection before he left and she whimpered letting him know she was worried, but he gave a wolfish grin letting her know it would be ok.
