Adopted by the Rogue King

Search Begins

Lilly's POV

I ran into the forest away from my alpha and beta. I had to find Willow. I don't care that her parents were rogues who joined the pack. Only to abandon her here after she was born and named. She is only a pup, not a rogue. I have changed into my wolf form holding Willow's favourite doll and my clothes in my mouth.

Right now I am running towards the last place I knew Willow was, the lake. She loved it there because of the wild flowers and the dragonflies she can chase. I'm sure she just got lost while chasing one. I reach the lake and put the things I was carrying onto a rock.

I let out a howl and then listen closely. I get no reply, so I tried to pick up her trail. That's when I see little paw prints on the ground. (Paw print: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/wolf-canis-lupus-foot-prints-soft-mud-26999137.jpg). Following them I see a set of bigger paw prints following the pup.

Taking a deep whiff I smell Willow and the Beta, making me snarl. If he hurt her in anyway, I'll kill him and the alpha. Who no doubt told him to get rid of Willow. Fearing she'd become a rogue in future. He had no right to do that, I'm her guardian. We could of made her a pack member, ensure she never went rogue. He's always disliked her, looking for a reason to get rid of her.

I pick up my clothes and Willow's doll after picking up her scent along with the beta's. I then follow it to the edge of our territory. My hear fulls with fear. This was edge connected to no mans land, where rogues live. I place the clothes and doll down to check out the area.

I find where the beta had crouched watching something, I also found where the pup had been sitting. Looking at the marks near the edge of the incline I see the pup turn around and back up. Where she seems to of rolled down the cliff and I hesitate to go down. If I do, I'd be branded a rogue and never be allowed back into the Blood Moon pack again.

Taking another deep whiff I smell another scent mixed with the Beta and Willow's. I knew it wasn't a member of the pack and was a rogue. It's scent was nearly over powering, so I knew it must be a strong rogue. Diffidently male.

'Lilly where are you?' Molly asks through the mind link.

'On the edge of no mans land' I tell her.

'Why?' she asks confused.

'Willow is missing, I think the Beta drove her away for shifting so young. On the Alpha"s orders' i tell her.

'We cannot do anything Lilly' she tells me.

'She is alive and out there alone with a rogue male. You know the stories of what they do to females. You think because she is a pup, he would not do that to her?' I demand.

'You are going after her, are you not?' she asks me.

'I am' I reply. 'But you know I won't be allowed to return and neither will she be allowed' I state. 'Molly the orphanage is yours now, protect those pups' I tell her.

'I will and take care of yourself' she tells me. 'Find Willow and find a new better home for you both' she adds. 'I will miss you cuz' she says.

'I will, goodbye' I say picking up my clothes and the doll. I jump down to the bottom of the incline and I feel my link severe to the pack. I am now an official rogue. Looking around I notice the rogue's footprints where Willow's body stopped rolling. She must of run into him.

Looking at the tracks in the immediate area I notice Willow's tracks disappear twice. One of which she appeared to be following the rogue wolf. The other near the waters edge where I see alligator skid marks. But her paw prints disappear and reappear several feet away with the rogue's. He must of saved her from the gator.

But where is she now? The rogue male's scent was over powering her's for some reason and I don't know why. The second time where her prints disappear appear, I notice the rogues front paws seem to of sunken a little deeper. He must be carrying, but where?

Realizing I may not be able to follow her scent, I decide to follow his instead. Along with his tracks. So I pick up my clothes and Willow's doll. Before setting off to find my pup.
