The Wanted

Chapter 19

Picture of Leonidas!

[Bonnie]

Zayn didn't leave until he knew I was ok and fine. I'm laying in a cold blue room, because I refused to sleep there were I saw all my blood spilled on the sheets. I lost the only thing that Zayn and I could share as one. I feel like I can't top Justice no matter how hard I try to be better she easily tops it off. Not because of the kids, but because Zayn still loves her and she has a special place in his heart. Tear roll down my cheek from my pathetic fantasy. I wipe away the tear and get out of bed feeling down. I reach for a duffle under the bed and walk into our closet. I grab anything that I could and stuff into the small bag. I need to leave and I need to leave now. I put on a black hoodie and dark skinny jeans matched with black converse. I walk out of bedroom and creep down the stairs slowly. I make it to the bottom with a sigh that I didn't get caught yet. I reach for the door knob and twist it open.

"Gotcha", Austin says smirking making me yelp in fear.

"You scared me", I whisper in a small shaky voice.

"Where ya headed", Austin says flickering his knife in and out.

"Back to my old pack", I say honestly needing to be around my family.

"I understand, so which pack is it?", Austin asks examining me.

"West Cove Pack", I say biting my bottom lip.

"West Cove is an hour from here", Austin says knitting his eyebrows together.

"Yeah I was going to run", I say fiddling with my thumb.

"I could take you there", Austin says smirking.

"Is that an order Luna", He questions at me and I laugh.

"Yes", I say with authority.
"You have to mind link Zayn or I refuse to take you", Austin says in a serious tone and I groan at him.
'Zayn', I whisper through our link.
'Zayn', I say again getting his attention.

'Yeah babe?', He says back.

'I'm leaving the house', I say quietly.

'No', Zayn says confused and angry.

'I'm going back to my old pack for a week to clear my mind', I say to plea to him.

'No I refuse to let you go', Zayn barks out in panic.

'Zayn I'll come back after a week, I really need my mother', I rush out trying to calm him.

'Ok, but let Austin take you', He behests pissed off.

'Alright', I say sniffling and smiling up at Austin.

"He was never the type to say no", Austin says grabbing my bags, and walking out of the French doors with me in tow.

[Zayn]

After forcing myself to leave my mate behind I decide to put this meeting into motion. I walk through the old dark building with on torches and windows radiating light. I strut through the hall with authority with my beta and delta in tow. I see passing Council members and foot soldiers for the werewolf army. I make it to the large french doors and push it open to reveal the council voicing opinions on the werewolf world.

"Ok brother and sisters", The werewolf king says with a booming voice shutting up everyone. I approach the table for my party and look over to see clan leader Alexander sitting at the table beside me with only a walk way separating us. Alexander spoke with my father whispering things about the attacks. We didn't have anything against neighbor vampire clans because we didn't want wars.

"Alpha Malik, you may speak", The werewolf queen speaks gracefully. I stand up clearing my throat, and taking a deep breath.

"I came along with clan leader Alexander to talk about the mystery attacks against my pack and others", I say with authority and poise.

"Mystery attack?", The king says confused at my information about the attacks.

"Yes, the East pack has been recently targeted because its a new generation. The attack on the East pack was almost a wipe out of that pack if it wasn't for me going to help fight", I shocking the king once more.

"Any further news?", He asks with narrowed eyes.

"Yes there's talk about someone named Lord Capulet", I say and everyone gasps in horror and shock.

"Lord Capulet is dead my father killed him", The kings shouts at me.

"He is not because my ex-mate has the mark of his presence", I say narrowing my eyes at the disrespect. King or no king don't call me a liar.

"Is she here?", The king asks very interested.

"No she's home protected", I say sitting down onto my wooden seat.

"Ok well we will travel back to take a look", The kings says nodding to Alexander.

"I am here to declare a treaty amongst my neighboring packs", Alexander says making the king lean in to listen more.

"What does the treaty consist of?", The kings says chuckling at Alexander who goes unfazed by the disrespect.

"It's a treaty to make death strips across our borders. It will decrease confusion along the borders and give us a few minutes for attacks", He says with power.

"I agree that should be enforced because attacks are happen right in my backyard", I say agreeing.

"Well then the elders and I will talk about it and in two weeks have a decision. Also I'm going back with you because I want to see the mark you speak of", He says loud and clear while hold his mate hand.

"You are dismissed", The king says dismissing us both. I walk to my father and Alexander and sigh.

"You think the land strips would help?", I ask them both above the loud chatter and movement from the elders in the balcony.

"I think it would", My father says agreeing.

"It'll be nice for us not have to fight so much over the little shred of connected land", Alexander says chuckling.

"Yes, very well then", I say nodding and walking out with my beta and delta.

I know it's short but the next chapter will be way much longer! This chapter was a fill in basically if you're catching my drift.

And again thanks for reading it means so much.
