The Alpha's Mate

Chapter 16- Taylor and Alex

Taylor's P.O.V.

Ever since Steve's death, I have trained everyday, preparing for the battle that I knew was coming.  My fahter got the pack together to discuss some of the new trainging techniques.  He said that it can help us get stronger and we will be able to fight the rogues better.  My brother have done nothing but help my father.  I also got to meet Jake's mate.  It was kind of depressing when we found out she was Steve's sister.  Apparently no one knew he had one until 3 days ago.  Then out of the blue he dies.  He also lost some of our members, including Kyle and Sophie.  They have been with us since the beginning.  Their parents and grandparents and so on.

I hate to think that everyone is getting hurt because of Liam.  He just cannot let things go.  He is such a little girl.  Well now it is time to give him a piece of my mind.  I will not stand by and watch while he tears our pack apart.  Over my dead body.  

I am going to miss all of the lives lost because of the rogues.  They just do not care that they used to be one of us.  I made my way back to the pack house to meet up with Alex.  We are supposed to go out to dinner.  I am just not in the mood.  Not after what is going on.

"There you are," Alex said grabbing me into a hug. "I waited for you.  You ready to go?"

"Hold on.  I am going to go upstairs to get changed." He nodded his head and let me go.  I took a quick shower, blow dried my head, and straightened my hair.  I went into my closet not knowing what to wear.  I decided on a yellow sundress.  It was a gift from Emily.  She gave it to me for my birthday last year.  I am surprised I still fit in it.  I made my way downstairs to a waiting Alex. 

"You ready?" I nodded my head.  He put his hand on my back and led me outside.  We got into his car and we were off.

The dinner was kind of quiet.  My mind was somewhere else.

"Are you okay," Alex said, breaking the silence. "You have been quiet all evening."

"Yeah just thinking."

"About what?"

"The rogues and how they are killing everyone we love."

"Taylor.  Please.  For one night can you not think about them.  It is bad enough that you are off doing your own things, alone may I add.  I have not go to spend one night with you without competing with the rogues for your mind.  Can you please be here with me?"

"I can't help it Alex. They need to be punished for what they did.  There needs to be justice."

"Punishing them is not justice, it is revenge."

"So maybe it is.  They deserve it."

"Taylor, listen to yourself.  This is not like you.  You get your revenge, you will be able to come from it.  You will be scared for life.  You will be damaged.  Trust me."

"Alex, you do not understand. I DO NOT CARE! They need this and so do I.  Steve did not die for nothing. No one is going to stop me."

"Taylor please," he said while grabbing my hand.  I snatched it from him.

"No," I said while getting up from my seat.  I ran outside and did not bother going into the car.  I shifted to my wolf form and ran into the woods.  I just cannot deal with Alex right now.  He just does not understand.

I ran all the way to my secret spot.  I am  thankful that I have this place to run to.

ALEX'S P.O.V

I ran after Taylor when she stormed out of the restaruant.  When I got outside, she was no where to be found.  I ran to my car to see if she was in there, but she was not.  Where could she be.  I drove to the pack house to see if she ran there.  While driving all I could think about was how much she has changed.  I wolf whimpered at the fact that she is mad and different.  I am sad too.  

Where is the girl I fell in love with?  Right.  She was replaced with someone that I do not know.  Someone so full of hate and violence.  That innocent girl I met the first day is long gone.  I just cannot believe that one death could do this to her.  I heard that rogues were a problem for a long time, but I did not know they could sink so low and kill someone they knew.

When I got to the pack house, I found out she never showed up.  I went to Emily to see if she knows where Taylor might be.

"Emily?"

"Yes?"

"Do you have any idea where Taylor might be?  She ran off."

"Again?"

"Yeah."

"I have an idea.  There is this place in the woods that she calls her secret spot.  No one goes there so she claimed it for herself.  If it far in the woods though.  It is a river with a waterfall going over a cliff."  I knew that place.  I came across it when I was looking for them. 

"I have been there."

"Really?"

"Yeah.  Found it when we were looking for you two. Thank you."

"You're welcome," I heard her call after me.

I shifted into my wolf form when I got outside.  I ran all the way till I found the spot.  I looked around but could not see anything.  It was dark.  My wolf vision kicked in.  I could see more clearer.  I finally spotted someone sitting by a tree.  I knew it was Taylor.

I walked up to her and shifted back.  I am glad that we still have our clothes when we shift, or it would just be weird.  I knelt beside her and put my arm around her shoulders.  She put her head on my shoulder and started crying.

"Shh.  It is okay."

She kept crying.  We sat like that for about an hour.  She finally calmed down.  It turns out she fell asleep.  I picked her up bridal style and carried her back to the pack house.  She was so light.  Maybe it is because of my alpha strangh.  Not that she is fat.  

When we got to the pack house I carried her to her room.  I decided to sleep in the guest room that was origanaly mine.  She needed some time alone.  

I fell asleep not long after my head hit the pillow.  I love sleep.
