The Alpha's Mate

Chapter 14: "Lone Wolves"

As the days went on further, I was kept under close watch by not only my parents but Shawn's "men." Which was actually just Logan and a few of Shawn's close friends like Brian, Mike, Zubin, and Eddy. Brian and Zubin decided to keep an eye on my bedroom window, while Eddy and Mike take care of the front door. Mom and dad have no problem with the new security system after Shawn ratted me out to them.

I sat in my room, on my bed, reading a magazine while I left my window open to get some fresh air. As I was reading I heard footsteps approaching. I looked away from my magazine to see Zubin and Brian walking up to the window. Brian leaned over the windowsill, resting his arms on the frame and resting his head on his arms.

"I hope you know, we find no pleasure in babysitting you like this, Ellie." Brian huffed.
"Then leave?" I raised a brow to him as if he was stupid for not knowing the obvious solution to this problem.
"If we could, we would be long gone but Shawn's orders..." Zubin scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Come on... we've been doing this for how long? 4? 5 days?" I asked as I put down the magazine and threw my legs over my bed.
"6..." Brian corrected me with a sigh of boredom.
"You guys already know I'm not going anywhere. And where would I go? I'm pissed at Dean for doing what he did to Shawn. It may not seem like I appreciate what Shawn's doing but I do. Why do you think I haven't even attempted to escape?" I scoffed and placed my hands on my hips.

"Y-You like being babysat?" Brian asks confused.
"Sure, it shows that Shawn truly cares about me and my well being." I lied as I cooed and placed my hands over my chest as I pouted.
"Should we let Shawn know?" Zubin asks Brian.

Yes...

"I don't know..." Brian furrowed his brows as he turned to look at Zubin.
"You should let him know that I appreciate the thought of wanting me safe but I'm an adult, you know? So maybe he should come back here and... we'll find an adult way of fixing our problems..." I said seductively as I winked at them.

"Ooooh." Brian got the hint. Zubin seemed a little embarrassed as his cheeks tinted red and he looked down at his feet.
"We definitely need to tell Shawn," Brian said with a wicked smirk on his face.
"I-I guess so." Zubin chuckled nervously.
"When you get to him, tell him I'll be ready for him when he gets here." I giggled as I grabbed the curtains and pulled them closed. I stayed there for a moment as I heard their footsteps fading off in the distance. I let out a sigh of relief as I quickly walked over to my shoe pile and slipped on a pair of sandals. I locked my door before walking back over to the window and slowly peeling back the curtain. I peeked out to see that the coast was clear. Seeing the guys no longer in their usual spot I quickly took this moment to transform and climb out the window.

I made my way out into the opening. I didn't have much time to be out because I know once Shawn sees I'm not home, he's going to have a search team come after me. As I walked further past the opening I smelt a familiar musky scent. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. The scent got stronger coming from the north. I opened my eyes and started following the smell.

I followed the scent all the way back to a familiar looking little cabin in the dead center of the forest. I inhaled deeply before approaching the glass sliding doors I've seen before. I raised a closed fist and started knocking on them. I knocked loud enough for Dean to hear and for my knuckles to tingle in pain. I stood there with my arms crossed and dropped one hip as I saw him come into view. He emerger from his bedroom with messy hair, shirtless with a pair of gray basketball shorts on and looking tired.

Once he caught sight of me, he looked as if he perked up before hurrying himself towards the door. He unlocked it and pushed the sliding door to the side. As he did his scent mixed with the smell of blood hit me like a ton of bricks. I gasped and put my hand over my mouth and nose, trying not to smell it. It was so repulsive...
