You Marked Me, Then Rejected Me

Chapter 4: Bad Timing

Edited......

*******************

After waking up a bit and getting dressed, I head back to Luke's house. I hop into my car and start it up. Luke must have heard the car start. He was out of the house and knocking on my window. "Leaving?"

I give him a small smile as I roll down the window. "Just picking up my car before I forget it."

He doesn't back away from the car when I put it into drive. "I'm still a bit mad about yesterday."

Inside I felt myself roll my eyes. "I'm sorry, that things happened the way they did."

He smiles. "It wasn't your fault as much as his. Yesterday kind of made my day with how mad Von was."

I laugh a bit. "He was really mad wasn't he. Never seen him so mad before."

Luke grabs one of my hands tightly. "Yeah, but I just thought about how your pack is in my territory."

My eyes must have started glowing as he smiled. I pull my hand out of his grip. "We aren't in your territory actually. More on the border."

He makes a tisk tisk sound. "But your pack hunts in my territory."

Shit. Those idiots never listen. I told them to hunt a way from this territory. When I look away from his eyes, I felt his hand grab my shoulder hard. "Tell them to stay out of my territory. We don't want a war now, do we?"

I look at him so fast, surprised I didn't get whiplash. War? I growl escaped my lips. "They will stay out of your territory, if they cross again. Punish me, not them."

A smiles forms on his lips before he backs away from the car. "I can do that."

I speed away from his house and towards the pack. When I get there, the pack is outside waiting for me. They must have felt my stress and fear. Getting out of the car I couldn't stop the growl that escaped when I slammed the door. Luke thinks he can just threaten me and my pack cause we aren't welcome, he has another thing coming.

The pack surrounded​ me with worried expressions. I get up on the hood of my car to look at everyone. "Everyone, we are go home now. We aren't welcomed here anymore."

Some members cheered at the news of going home. They followed me on their own, they must miss their homes. "Let pack up and head home."

Everyone turn to their tents and begin packing up everything. A smile appeared on my lips as I watch my pack talk and seem happy again. Their safety and happiness is all that matters me. They will not learn of the Luke's words of war. I would fight the war alone to protect them.

Getting them out of here is the best thing right now. Von will have to understand why I'm leaving again. No one asks for help feeling my tension. My parents will know about me going before​ I leave for home. How am I going to tell Von that we are leaving?

When everything is almost done, a hand falls on my shoulder. I turn to find Von standing there with a frown. "Your leaving again..."

I get up and hug him tightly. He hugs me back even tighter. "I have to go. Only way to keep my pack safe."

He kisses the side of my head. "I won't lose you again. Stay."

I kiss his mark. "I don't want to leave either, but I don't want a war to start."

He pulls me away a bit to look in to my eyes. "Did Luke threaten you?"

I look down and nod my head a bit. "He's doing this cause of what happened yesterday."

He growls then looks at me with sadness. "I can't lose you again not when you're all that I have left."

I get up on my tippy toes and nuzzle his neck. "You aren't losing me. I'll be back. I can't stay away from you or my parents."
