Pack of Lies

Chapter 31: Perfection

Eliza

We had been in the forest for quite some time as she went over her incredibly thought out rescue plan.

She explained that she could had easily brought my father here and put him in prison, but she wanted to discuss a better plan, something that would unite all the packs from far and wide.

Brooke took me over to the young girls who were slowly waking up. They were scarily thin and had bruises from where they had been chained up.

Making sure they knew they were safe, I got to know them briefly and reassured them that we would try and find their families and that no harm would come to them.

The young girls were grateful and hugged me tightly whispering how much of an honour it was to meet me.

Truth be told, I was still a little apprehensive of the whole prophecy Luna thing. It's one thing to find out that you're a female leader of a pack, but to know that you are a thing of legend was daunting.

All the while, I could feel his eyes on me piercing the back of my head.

My heart was pounding within my chest as I felt him walk towards me.

I could hear my wolf purr as he stroked the back of my neck and lent in to whisper into my ear.

"I'm going to go ahead and give the pack the heads up about what has happened. Stay safe".

His tone was cold and he seemed almost emotionless as he placed a delicate kiss on my forehead.

Pulling away, he stared deeply into my eyes as if trying to read my emotions through my eyes.

But before I could question what was wrong, Warrick turned away and transformed into his wolf form that I was starting to miss.

He looked back at me once more before running ahead of us disappeared behind the big oak trees.

"You 4, follow after him. Girls, you are safe now. We will find you a home and try to find your families".

"Thank you, Beta". Brooke's eyes gleamed and she smiled back at them before waving them off.

The wolves ran off with the girls on their backs and they too followed the path of my mate.

"I'm so glad you accepted the title. You are so deserving of it".

Brooke linked her arm in mine and pulled me close as we slowly started walking through the forest towards home.

"Beta Brooke. Sounds like that should be a title of a book" Brooke teased as she smiled back at me.

"So, I seemed to have interrupted a little session between you and Alpha. Was that your first time together?".

Brooke and I always used to discuss the ins and outs of our sex life, but now the thought pained me.

I was telling her details of me sleeping with her mate.

"U-Um, yeah. He marked me but said he wanted to wait until I was completely ready for us to mate".

Brooke stopped dead in her tracks and gave me a 'you what' look.

"When did he mark you?".

"2 days ago".

Brooke's eyes widened and clamped her hand over her mouth as if she was trying to hold back a laugh.

"Bloody hell. It's probably killing him. No wonder you were about to have sex in the woods. Damn, you're a savage making him wait like that. He's probably getting severe cramps in his right hand from the lack of intimacy, if you catch my drift".
