Two Alphas Too Many

On the Road

Kate's POV

BEEP BEEP BEEP. I slammed my hand down on the alarm and looked over at it. Damn, broke another one. Oh well. I lay back down and fall asleep again. BEEP BEEP BEEP.
"Ugh", I groan and pull the pillow over my head. I manage to ignore the constant beeping for about five minutes before I just can't anymore. "Blake turn it off", no answer. "Blake!", no answer. "BLAKE!!!!", nothing. I reluctantly sit up and look over... And of course, Blake is still asleep. "Should've known", I chuckle to myself. I showered, and got dressed in a pair of light blue jean shorts, a turquoise camisole, my tennis shoes, and my dark grey j crew jacket. Then, I put on my silver hoop earrings, the locket my parents gave me, and the friendship charm bracelet Blake and I got for each other when we were eight. There were currently twelve charms on it, we gave each other a charm every year, starting with one on our eighth birthdays. She was still laying there fast asleep. Fortunately being best friends with her for years comes in handy because I know just what to do to wake her up. I get up and walk to her side, "Blay-ake", I say sweetly. "Blake...", I grip the edge of the covers and get ready. Then I rip the covers off of her and scream at the top of my lungs, "TAYLOR LAUTNER IS BEING ASSASSINATED!!!!!!!!".
"AHHHHHHH!!", she screams as she jumps about five feet in the air and lands back on the bed. "Damn Katie! Now i'm cold!", she whines as she reaches out of the blanket but I pull it away from her.
"Ah ah ahh", I say as I pull it away. "I don't think so. We have to get going".
"Ugh. But it's a Saturday. Just give me five more minutes", she says as she flops back on the bed and hides her face in her pillow.
"Nope. Time to go", she pulls the pillow down and scowls at me, but I just smile back at her. She tries to put her head back under the pillow but I pull it away from her and she just groans. "Come on Blake".
"I really hate you sometimes, you know?"
I just laugh, "I know". She slowly drags herself out of bed, grabs some clothes, and crawls into the bathroom. A few seconds later I hear the shower running. I walk over, pick up my phone, and turn on the song "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics. I know it's kind of an old song but what can I say, I don't really get tired of songs over time. Unless of course the song has been playing non-stop for like an entire week.
"Some of them want to use you. Some of them want to be used by you. Some of them want to abuse you. Some of them want to be abused", I sang along with the words until I was finished packing. Just as I zipped up the last bag Blake walked out of the bathroom dressed in her favorite blue jean shorts with colorful designs stitched into them. She was also wearing a light pink halter top and her tennis shoes, her hair was in it's usual high ponytail and she had in her little pink smiley face earrings. "Typical. You come out right when I finish packing".
"Oh shut up", she snaps playfully. She walks over and starts grabbing bags. Once we have collected all of the bags we look at each other and smile. She exhales, "Let's go".

FOUR MONTHS LATER

"I'm hungry", I whine. Blake had been driving for an hour and a half and I was starting to get hungry.
"I am too. Let's stop and get some breakfast". It had been four months since we'd gone rouge and we hadn't regretted our decision once. We'd had a few problems with other rouges but aside from that, there had been no complications. We started out driving up and down the east coast spending no more than a week or two in some of the small towns. Then we traveled more in the middle of the United States, going places we both always wanted to, like Austin Tx or New Orleans, La. Our plan was to travel around the U.S. for a year or so, maybe travel around the world a little bit, and then settle down somewhere, anywhere. We also wanted to spend some time looking for our mates but we decided to wait on that until we were settled and were sure that our old pack couldn't find us. We were currently in a small town in Colorado in the mountains called Sira Springs. We agreed to stop somewhere to eat so we kept driving until we saw a small diner called Mama's Kitchen. We pulled up, parked, and went up to the counter where there was a young girl who looked about sixteen.
"Hi can I help you", she asked quietly.
"Yes thank you", I said sweetly.
Hey, she seems really shy, could we invite her to do something? Blake asked through the mind link. We weren't in a pack but I was able to establish a mind link using the powers I got from my grandmother and all the spell books and such that she left me.
That's exactly what I was thinking, I responded.
I ordered buttermilk pancakes, a chai tea, and a side of sausage. Blake ordered blueberry pancakes, a small coffee, and a side of bacon.
"So, Anna", I started, reading her name tag. She looked up, shocked that I hadn't left yet. "Well my friend and I are only in town for a few days but we were wondering if there is anything fun to do around here?"
"Oh, um... Well yeah there are lots of things to do around here", she responded timidly.
"Well what's your favorite?", Blake questioned.
"Umm... The mall is really fun", she said, slightly less quiet.
"Well maybe the three of us can go there sometime together", I suggested. She looked shocked. "Sound good?"
"Uh... Yeah sure", she said smiling.
"Great", Blake said. "So here's my number", she started writing it down "and her's". She finished and slid the paper over to Anna. "So if you're free sometime in the next couple of days, give us a call", she finished smiling.
"Ok". Then our food came out, we picked it up, and sat down at a table, waving goodbye to our new friend. We ate in a comfortable silence for a while until it was ruined.
"Uh-oh. Look hither", I said. She attempted to stifle a laugh, key word ATTEMPTED, as I pointed to the crowd of four hormonal werewolf boys heading towards us. From what I could tell they all looked like douches. Douche number one had brown hair and blue eyes, douche number two had blonde hair and brown eyes, douche number three had light brown hair and dark brown eyes, and douche number four had red hair and brown eyes.
"What's up beautiful", said two. I just mentally rolled my eyes.
Gag! I heard through the mind link. I had to try not to laugh.
"Has anyone ever told you", three started. "How beautiful your eyes are?" Well that was nice enough, maybe they're not douches. "And your ass..." Nope, spoke too soon.
"Would you mind leaving us alone. We just want to eat our breakfasts in peace." I am silently pleading to the goddess that they leave or this could get messy.
"Oh but babe", two started. "You don't really want that". "Yeah", three continued. "We could be so good together. Just imagine. Your looks, my looks and body, my athleticism. We could be the power couple of the town".
"Yeah I don't quite get how that would work seeing that there are four of you and two of us".
"Well you know what they say. Sharing is caring". My mouth fell open at that. I was about to protest and explain all the reasons that was totally absurd when Blake beat me to it.
"Oh HELL NO!!!! I mean for crying out loud that's so wrong on so many levels!!" Blake cried. I looked over and saw her flanked on either side by one and four who each had an arm around her. She was just looking back and fourth between them, appalled. While I was distracted two and three leaned in closer and three put his arm around me, leaving his hand a little too close to my breast. Usually I wouldn't do anything about it because if Richard saw me intentionally stopping his advances he wouldn't trust me and that could jeopardize my plans of escape. But this boy was not Richard.
I gripped both of their hands and they each let out a small yelp of pain, trying to cover it up with a cough but you could still tell. I slowly lifted both their arms from around me without releasing their hands and saw Blake doing the same. "I suggest you boys learn the meaning of the word, no. Or one of these days, you are going to get in a lot of trouble when someone tells you no, and you don't listen". I said quietly but menacingly.
"Oh don't be a bi-", one starts, but gets cut off by a young man walking towards us.
"That's enough Jordon", says the man. The boys grumble as they walk away. After examining him further I notice that he's tall, about 6'3 maybe, he has short brown hair, almost military length. He walked with pride, I could sense power, but not as much as an alpha.
What do you think? Third in command?, I asked through the mind link.
That would be my guess, Blake answered.
"I apologize for their behavior ladies. May I?", he asked, gesturing to the empty chair.
"Umm. Sure", I answered unsure.
"Thank you", he says as he sits in the chair. "Now, are you aware that you are trespassing on Midnight Wolf territory?" He asks. I could hear Blake choke on her pancake but my sight was focused on him. If I were drinking something I would have done a spit take as he said that. Midnight Wolf was the largest pack in the U.S. But we knew where the territory boundaries were, this couldn't be possible.
"That's impossible", Blake blurted after she'd stopped coughing.
"I assure you it is very possible. My name is Michael, I'm the third in command of Midnight Wolf. Now, it's obvious you girls didn't know you were trespassing, but you are still rouges in pack territory."
"But I thought your territory ended at Barton Creek", I said incredulously.
"We recently expanded our borders", he explains.
"How recently?", Blake questions.
"About a month ago".
"Oh... Um... Well... We're really sorry about trespassing on your territory. We memorized all the pack borders so we would be able to make sure this didn't happen, but that was before you expanded. We're really sorry", I look over a Blake. "We'll get out of town right away. Let's go", we both start to stand up when he puts up a hand to stop us.
"I'm sorry girls but I'm afraid I can't let you leave".
Blake looks at me nervously, "And why not?"
He sighs, "You say you mean no harm and I believe you, I really do. But you still have to meet our alpha, and he will decide your fate".
Shit, I say through the mind link
You got that right. If we meet his alpha he might kill us or worse. If says something about us to Richard then we're screwed. What are we gonna do?!?!
I'm thinking.
Yeah well don't rush, she replies sarcastically.
Don't sass me... Ok so here's the plan. Plan A, do whatever you can to convince him to let us leave.
And if that doesn't work?
Then we go for Plan B. Run. We sneak off to the bathroom and escape from there.
Alright.
"Hello?" He says, waving his hand in front of my face.
"Sorry. I zoned out a little bit there."
"Right...", he starts to look very weary of us.
Damn Kate. He's getting suspicious, she calls to me through the mind link.
I noticed.
Well use your mothering calming thingy that you do. Make him trust us.
Good idea.
One of my powers as part nature spirit is a emotional effect that works on all creatures. For example, if someone is tense I can send them calming emotions that will relax them. It can be very subtle or incredibly obvious, it depends on how drastically their emotions need to change. I send a wave of power towards him and see his shoulders visibly sag as the tension leaves him. "So anyway. The alpha is out of town but he'll be back in two days. I'm afraid you're going to need to stay with us until then".
"Are you sure. Can't we just leave now. I swear we'll never come back and we'll be more careful from now on".
He frowned at us, "I'm sorry but that's really not an option".
Kate I don't think he's gonna budge.
I don't think so either.
Plan B?
Plan B.
"Alright so-" Blake started.
"Uh!", I leaned over slightly.
"Are you alright?", I heard Blake voice.
"I think I'm going to- uh!", I started to take deep breaths and then I got up and bolted to the bathroom.

Blake's POV

I pretended to be concerned because I knew what she was doing, "Are you alright?"
"I think I'm going to- uh!", then she leapt up and ran to the bathroom.
I turned to Michael, "I'm so sorry. She tends to get nauseous and throw up a lot when she gets really scared, and well, let's just say she doesn't have the best track record when it comes to alphas."
"I'm sorry".
"It's alright", I gulp dramatically. "I'd better go check on her".
"Of course". I ran off towards the bathroom.

Michael's POV

She ran off and I suddenly got an uneasy feeling in my stomach. Why do I feel like this? They're just in the bathroom... Wait... That bathroom might have a window!!! I leapt from my seat and busted into the girls bathroom... To be met with an empty room and an open window.
"Shit!!!" Alpha's going to kill me. He hates rouges and will not like the fact that I let two escape.
Andy! I called to the fourth in command through the mind link as I run out of the bathroom, slamming the door as I go.
Yes third.
The two rouge she-wolves have escaped through the window in the bathroom. Block the perimeters and don't let them leave!
Yes sir.
I shut him off and ran outside yo my car. Damn! I totally didn't peg them for the runner type. I shouldn't have let my guard down but what could I say, they just felt so innocent. For some reason they seemed so trustworthy. It felt like I knew them or something. It was like some part of me just wanted to trust them. Damn! Alpha's gonna be pissed.

Kate's POV

"Shit!!!" I heard Michael yell. Followed by a door slamming.
I waited for a few minutes before calling out, "All clear!" Then I hopped off the toilet seat and opened up the door to my stall in time to see Blake doing the same. We looked at each other and then slipped out of the bathroom. We peeked around the corner to see Michael jumping into his car and pulling out of the parking lot. Then we ran out and slid into our car.
"Let's just get out of this territory as fast as we can", Blake says looking over her shoulder.
"I know but it's going to take a while, this territory is freaking huge". She groans but keeps her mouth shut. We had been driving for fifteen minutes when she spoke again.
"I think we're at the border", I look up and see that she's right. I'm smiling and am about to cross the border when five wolves coming running into the street. I gasp and slam on the breaks. Then we're skidding, the smell of burning rubber fills my nostrils as I feel the car spin and slide sideways. My head slams on the wheel as we finally come to a stop. I look over to see Blake awake and looking at me but there is blood trickling down the side of her face. Alright, now I'm pissed.
