"Go inside and pack your clothes." He tells me.
'No. I am staying with my brothers.'
'Do you want them to share his fate as well? If you keep fighting me they will.'
"My sister isn't going anywhere with you." I hear Luke say to him.
"Oh but you see, that mark on her neck means she is mine. It also means she should have come with me once it was put there. And I have every right to kill anyone who tries to stop me."
"Those are the old ways. No one follows those laws anymore."
"You want to know why the council called your parents away?" He says looking between the three of us. "Let me tell you. My dad found out she is my marked mate. And went to petition the council to make your parents give her to me. So that their little order for me to stay away from her goes away." He says before he stops talking and looks like he is linking someone. "Guess what. The council says you can not keep my mate from me. So by council orders you are coming with me." He says as my brother is linking with someone.
"Can she at least stay and tell our parents goodbye?" Luke asks.
"If they want to say goodbye they can come to my territory and do so. Now go pack your clothes and come with me."
I turn and walk into my house and up to my room. I pull out a bag and start packing my clothes into it. Then I link my parents. 'I don't want you coming to his territory, I don't trust him. So this is my goodbye. I love you both, and thank you for protecting me. Dad he killed Gavin. It was my fault I should have stayed away from him. I love you both.' I say then shut off the link. I zip up the bag and go back outside.
"I will take that for you." Taylor says walking up to me. I hand him the bag and walk up to my brothers.
'Keep mom and dad here. I love you both.' I link them. Then turn and walk to him. 'Remember I hate you, I am going with you to save my pack from any punishment the council would give.'
"And as I said it is a fine line between love and hate." He says as he tosses my bag in the back of his truck. Then he opens the passenger door and lets me get in.
