Daughter

Max

I felt my mates breath on the back of my neck as I opened my eyes. We were no longer in the car, I was in a bed. I could hear the guys in another room talking. I slightly adjusted my position in my mate's arms. He held my back to his chest. I slowly started to wiggle my way out of his arms. When I was out I put my pillow in his arms just as he went to pull me closer.

The room was dark, the window was open but no light came through. I walked over to the window to see we were in a human city, far from the woods we once resided in. I quietly left the room and walked into what seemed to be the living area. Dalton was laying on the floor not far from where Thomas was passed on on a black leather sofa. Haden, Devin, and River sat at the table as Cullen was in the kitchen making sandwiches. There were several doors that probably went to other bedrooms.

River smiled at me as I walked over to the table. Cullen walked over and handed me a paper plate with a sandwich and chips in it. I thanked him as he sat down and started eating his own. The other guys were already eating, Dalton seemed to have a bag of pretzels with him.

I started eating my meal as the guys talked about where to go next. They tossed around different ideas. Leaving the country, Nevada, staying here. "How are we going to leave the country without passports? Where will we shift here? Nevada's a desert, not happening" I told them. "Canada? It would be easy for us to shift and get across the border" Dalton said and I nodded. "Canada it is," River said before the bedroom door flew open.

I looked where Mason stood in the doorway, pillow in hand. His eyes scanned the room as he growled. When his eyes landed on me I smiled. "We settled on Canada" I let him know as I stood up. I walked over to take care of my plate. As soon as I turned around there he was. His eyes were black, still, his wolf as picked me up and carried me back into the bedroom.

He set me down in the middle of the bed as he turned on the light. "I'm sorry Mate" he whispered to me as he looked at me, his black eyes swirling. Something I had never seen before, "I just love you. He said as he crawled onto the bed towards me. "Masons trying so hard to shut me up, to take control. He wants to be as close to you as I am, but he just won't let himself" He said as he cupped my face.

"Who are you?" I asked making him smile, "I'm Mason's wolf, the half he tries to suppress. He keeps himself from being as powerful as he can, but maybe you can change that" he said as he stroked my cheek. He brought his lips down to mine as I just sat there shocked. "Bailey!" I heard Thomas scream, I jumped out of bed so fast. A group of men stood in the kitchen with knives and wolf eyes, they smiled when they saw me.

"There she is" one of them laughed. I felt Mason's hand on my shoulder, their smiles faded. They started backing away towards the door. Mason growled and they were gone, fully grown wolves afraid of my mate. Mason turned me around to face him, "Get going, get her somewhere safe" Masons wolf growled before looking back to me. "I'm Max by the way," he said with a smile. Before his eyes went back to normal. "What the hell just happened?" I asked him and he just looked at me.

"Let's get going," River said as Mason took a step away from me. We grabbed everything and headed down to the car. I was again in the front seat as Dalton drove this time. "To Canada, we go," Dalton said before I put in my headphones.

Hours later we all had to use the bathroom, and get more food because the boys have to control over the amount they eat, you could just keep feeding them for hours and they wouldn't get full. I jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped. I quickly used the bathroom then went to get snacks with the guys. I brought them all to the counter and Cullen paid in cash for all of them.

"Want me to drive?" I asked Dalton and he thanked me. I walked out to the car where the rest of the guys were waiting. I jumped into the driver's seat and they were silent. I looked back and none of them were paying attention, except Thomas who looked scared. "Bailey can't drive" he whispered making Devin and Mason look up at me. Mason kept looking at me as Devin started laughing at Tommy.

"It was one time" I whispered

When everyone was back in the car I followed the GPS instructions. I watched as the sun set on our 3rd day on the road. I turned off the GPS and went towards the woods. "i can get the car over" River said as he took out his passport from the glovebox.

"we will meet you over there," Dalton said. We all threw off our clothes and shifted. River collected our clothes as I looked out at the water, I could make that. I felt Mason next to me but I didn't look at him. He nudged me with his snout. I looked over at his huge wolf, he was larger than my father's wolf. His eyes swirled black, Max.

I pulled the blankets closer around my naked body as Max came out of the water. River grabbed a blanket for him but he shifted and just stood there naked, still looking at me. I was thankful River covered me before I shifted. everyone shifted and wrapped up or put on pants. I jumped in the front seat next to River as Max kept his eyes on me, he was also thankfully now wearing pants.

"we are going to aunt Ericas house, it's not far from here. She owns a plot of land, its fenced in and she said we could stay there" River said as he started driving. I could feel Max right behind me the entire ride.

Erica's house was larger than we expected. "She's currently still at the pack with Evita and them," Cullen said as we walked in. Max grabbed my hand but I pulled it away, "I'm going to go take a shower!" I said before running up to one of Erica's guest rooms.

I threw my bag into the bathroom floor as I got out soap and a towel from under the sink. I jumped into the warm shower and washed off before getting dressed and braiding my hair. When I walked into my room I was shocked as Max stood up and walked over to me. "Mason needs you and he's going to have to accept that," he told me as h  looked at my bare neck. I stepped away from him but it was already happening.

Max was marking me.
