Running Free

Chapter 1: Captured

It all started late one night when we were outside the DarkMoon packs borders. We had been running for days at that point. It had been years of us being on the run. Bella looked at me as if saying to run faster. The DarkMoon pack has a "no rouge" policy, where they kill any and all rogues that come onto their land. "Lily if we don't somehow trick them we're as good as dead." My younger sister Bella mindlinked me. "Bells if we trick them we'll get captured and killed" I mindlinked her. Bella sighed and agreed. "Do you think they can smell us?" Bella mindlinked. "If they can we'll be surrounded within minutes." I linked back to her. Suddenly we heard the thumping of multiple wolves. "Run Bella, don't turn back!" I linked to her quickly. Already knowing they'd catch up to us as Bella had injured her paw the night before, while we were going through the mountains. "Lily we need to split up, you know they'll catch me, just leave me behind." Bella linked me. "Bella you're the only familyI have left, if they capture you, they capture me." I linked back to her. Suddenly we were surrounded. "Bella act submissive, and I'll do the same, if we make them think we are weak, they won't injure us until their Alpha sees us." I linked her. That's when we both lowered ourselves to the ground and lowered our heads. Both of us are nowhere near submissive, but in order to stay alive we did what we had to."Shift you filthy rouges." One of the men snarled. "Lily, do we shift?" Bella linked. I nodded at both her and the man. Once we shifted they realized we were females and threw us each a shirt. "Females?" One of the men laughed. "Alpha will love this." said another. All of a sudden they all bared their necks. "Well what do we have here?" said a blonde man, who clearly had power, but not enough to be their Alpha or Beta. "Gamma Jake, we found these two near our lands, we didn't realize they were female until moments ago." The first guy replied. Bella shifted nervously next to me. "Take them to the cells, Alpha Carter and Beta Chester will deal with them once they handle the other rogues on the northern border." The gamma commanded. Four men grabbed Bella, while five grabbed me. "Lily they can sense our strength can't they?" Bella linked me. "It seems that they can." I linked back. "How did they catch our scents?" Bella linked me. "I don't know, but Hazel said those herbs should've kept our scents hidden" I linked back. "Gamma Jake, they have the same scent, should we lock them together or separate?" said one of the guys on my right. "Together, they might as well get to hold each other before they are killed." The gamma replied while smirking. As we got into the cells we were thrown into one. "Bella the bars are silver, don't touch them." I linked to her. She nodded back. "Lily? Bella?" we heard a familiar voice say. "Braxton?" I asked, shocked. "HOW THE HELL DID YOU TWO GET CAPTURED?" Braxton yelled angrily. Bella and I let out a small laugh. "Same way you did asshole." I replied sarcastically. "We were running by the southern border and got surrounded." Bella said sweetly. "Of course you guys were." He smiled. "I bet if us three teamed up against the guards we could take them." Bella suddenly said. "Bright idea baby Bell." Braxton said. "Don't call me that." Bella said. "Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you two realize the cells are made of silver bars, and I'm almost positive I smell wolfsbane." I said grimly. A few moments later all the guards bowed their heads and opened the door to the cell area. "Alpha, Beta," they said. With a nod two men walked in. "Where are the two females that were found on the Southern border." Then I'm presuming Alpha asked. "Number 13, Alpha." Said a brunette. "The redhead's pretty feisty." said a blonde guard. "You haven't seen feisty, yet asshole." I replied nonchalantly. The Alpha laughed. "Well she won't be speaking much longer." The beta suddenly said. "You wanna bet fucker?" I respond. Bella and Braxton both laugh. Suddenly the Alpha looked at me. "Fuck." I mumbled under my breath, sadly Bella heard me. "Take the redhead to my house. NOW." The Alpha barked. The Beta looked at Bella, and yelled. "The Blonde goes to mine." That was all it took for me to snarl, they weren't taking her anywhere. Bella looked ghostly pale and hid behind me. That was all it took for me to realize we were never leaving this territory. Bella was ripped from behind me by the beta. The alpha grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder. "IF YOU DON'T PUT ME DOWN I'LL CUT OFF YOUR DICK AND SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT." I yelled. Pack members suddenly stopped what they were doing, and watched as both Bella and I thrashed in the arms of their alpha and beta. "Shes definitely our alpha's mate." said a female. I was about to respond when the alpha stopped walking. "Everyone, this will be your Luna, once she calms down and accepts the bond." The alpha said. "And this will be your beta female." The beta said. Cheers were heard from every pack member. "Lily, I'm scared." Bella linked me. "We won't be here long enough for us to be part of the pack Bells." I responded. "I love you Lily." Bella linked. "I love you too Bells." I responded. That was when I came up with a plan. "Bells we gotta earn their trust, and once they trust us we run and don't turn back. Don't let him mark you. Listen to him and do as he says, for the time being." I linked Bella. "Okay Lily. Its not me you have to worry about. You aren't exactly known for taking orders Lil." Bella Linked . "I know, but for our escape, I'll have to at least attempt to." I linked back to her. 'Goddess help me. I hate taking orders, I was born a rouge, so was Bella. We were born to run free, not be taken and held as prisoners.' I thought to myself. I looked up to see Bella and the Beta had disappeared. The alpha suddenly stopped walking and opened a door. "Welcome home, little mate." He said while smirking. "This will never be my home." I said while rolling my eyes. He clearly didn't like my answer. "If you even think of trying to leave I'll never let you out of my sight. I won't let you near that other rogue you were captured with." He said snarling. "You leave my sister out of this you fucking asshole." I growled out. He smirked at me. "Then it looks like this is home." He said proudly. "Looks like this is home." I said quietly. I hated that word. Home is where you feel safe and loved. The last time I felt either of those was 13 years ago. Mom and dad were both rouges who happened to be mates, they had us and our four brothers. Sadly after the attack on the rogue camp, Bella and I were the only survivors, We were the youngest of the six of us. Mom had hidden us under an uprooted tree across the clearing. Ever since then it has just been Bella and I. I was pulled from my thoughts by my mate. "Im Alpha Carter Black, you can just call me Carter." My mate said. "Lily." I said softly. He looked surprised that I didn't have an attitude. He smirked and pulled me into his kitchen. "Are you hungry?" He asked gently. At the mention of food my stomach let out a small growl. He handed me a plate with four sandwiches. "Eat." He said. I ate slowly, watching him out of the corner of my eye. After I finished almost two of the sandwiches I pushed the plate away. He sighed and led me to a room. "This is our room." He said waiting for my reaction. I nodded and went to the window. I hated the fact that I was away from Bella. I couldn't protect her if something happened. After he watched me at the window for a few minutes he said he was going to do some work in his office. I nodded again and let my thoughts consume me.
