My mate

"Boo"

"You can't run from me forever you know" Dax growls through the pack link.

"I can sure as hell try", she throws back whilst walking through the crowds that had gathered at the market and stopping at a little jewellery stall admiring the sparkling jewels in front of her.

"You know, your legs always did look so sexy in shorts" Dax says wistfully.

"Get the fuck out of my--" she freezes. What- he didn't, he couldn't be.. Her eyes speedily rake over every tall man in sight and finds nothing to cause any worry. "Uh, what did you say?"

"You heard. Ah, I had almost forgotten how sweet you smell. That perfume does absolutely nothing hide your scent you know".

She raises her head slightly into the air and inhales and catches wind of a scent she knew all too well. He's here. Fuck. She turns to run and locks eyes with those dark eyes that were so familiar. "Oh fuck", she whispers.

She watches as those luscious lips of his turn up and mouths "Boo". Yeesh.

She salutes him before bolting through the crowds looking for an exit. C'mon Cora, you've outrun him this long you can do it now. She forces her legs to run faster. If she could just make it to the end of the street she could shift and get her furry ass out of there.

Suddenly she's tackled to the ground and a familiar weight lands on top of her. Her body betrays her as her nipples begin to harden as his delicious scent swarms around her. Cursed nipples.

Dax shoves his face into the curve of my neck , running his nose up and down inhaling her scent. "God I've missed you you Cora", he groans causing an involuntary shiver to run down her spine, raising goosebumps on her arms.

"Oy! Get the hell off of her!" Someone shouts. She lifts her head and realises they seemed to have drawn themselves a crowd. Not completing surprising seeing as they did just see a mammoth of a man tackle a smurfette of a woman.

Dax raises his head and growls threateningly as one man takes a step towards them. She punches his arm and his eyes come back to hers. "Do you want to quit acting like a crazy dog man?", causing his eyes to narrow and glare at her. Oh fudgeballs.

"I will as soon as they back the fuck off". He starts to stand and drags her up with him, wrapping his arms possessively around her. She tries to move making them tighten even more, almost crushing her. She knew it was pointless trying to get away now he had caught her. She sinks back against his chest reluctantly admitting defeat. She weakly waves at the crowd and tries to smile reassuringly, "Its OK, we're just playing hide and seek tig and he found me. Oh damn", pouting slightly. Dax chuckles lightly against my ear.

"Are you sure ma'am?" An elderly man asks looking on at the scene concerned, eyes shifting back and forth between her and Dax.

"She's fine old man, mind your own business" says Dax and she turns to glare at him before turning back to the man and nodding in confirmation. He must've taken her word for it as he and the rest of the crowd back off.

She tenses as Dax leans down and whispers , "Time to go princess". He grasps her hand and leading her away to an old pick up truck. She stops a few feet away as her eyes appraise the piece of junk in front of her. "I see your sense of style has went downhill whilst I've been gone" she remarks.

"Driving a fancy car hasn't exactly been my top priority these past five months, finding you was".

"No shit", she mutters.

"Just get in", he says shoving her against the passenger door. "Still as controlling as ever I see". Opening the door she hops onto the seat and Dax quickly follows suit hopping into the vehicle. She turns to say something and stops as she finally gets a good look at his face up close now she wasn't concentrating on getting away. He was still as handsome as ever, maybe even more so but now he has dark shadows underneath his eyes and looks as though he's lost a little bit of weight. Not enough to cause concern as he's still huge with wide shoulders, massive biceps, lips you just want to--

"Babe I know I'm irresistible but do you mind?" She looks up knowing he caught her mini eye rape. "Whatever", she says rolling her eyes. They sit in silence for 20 minutes before he speaks again.

"The pack have missed you too, you know", he says quietly. She stays silent but her heart aches as she learns this. "And I missed them", she whispers.

He pauses for a second before asking "And me? Did you miss me?" He asks hesitantly. She steels herself before looking him straight on forcing herself to lie, "No". She doesn't miss the flinch he tries to hide and she is immediately flooded with guilt. They don't speak for the rest of the ride but she wasn't that naive to think he hadn't planned where they would go if he found her. He was taking her back there. To the pack.
