Chapter 101

The chase is on.

(Anna)

I’m not sure how long I chase Faye through the woods but I know we passed the Pack border a little

while ago. I haven’t seen her since she ran from the house but I can smell her so I know I’m on the

right trail.

‘Let me out, I’ll find the bi tch.’ Winter growls as I stop and spin in a circle, standing still I close my eyes

and try to find Faye’s smell. ‘Anna, let me out. Right now. ‘ Something about Winter’s voice has me

popping my eyes open, I am met with the sight of a massive salt and pepper wolf running towards me.

‘Who is that?’ I ask Winter as I take a step backwards, I am suddenly very aware that I have followed

Faye into a part of the forest that I don’t know.

‘Let me out Anna.’ Winter sounds like she’s ready to pounce any second but I feel locked with fear. All

the adrenaline I had around Faye seems to be fading with every step the wolf gets to me.

The wolf gets close enough to me that I can smell his breath but he just stops and growls at me.

“Met my

father,” I hear Faye say from behind me, “your sense of smell must be sh it. A quick dash into a river

and you lost me.”

“I can’t say I follow psychotic women into forests everyday,” I snap at Faye without taking my eyes off

the wolf in front of me.

“That’s a good one,” Faye laughs. “Now you’re going to turn around and follow me or dear old father

here is going to rip you apart.” I must

The cha

think about it too long because the wolf snarls at me and takes a step towards me. I throw my hands up

in front of me and start walking backwards, between Faye and the wolf I don’t know which one I should

be keeping an eye on but I know which one is more deadly right now.

“You can turn around, he won’t attack until I tell him too.” I keep walking backwards until I trip over a

rock and nearly land on my as s, I decide it is worth the risk and turn myself to face forward. Least if the

wolf attacks I wont see it and it will be over quickly.

“Not going to lie, that was a smart move back in the house, following me into the forest less smart.”

Faye calls over her shoulder, she’s still wearing Fraction’s t-shirt so I just stare daggers into her back. “I

admire how you think you’re the shi t but let’s face it Anna, you’re just a scared little girl who has no

idea what she’s doing.”

“And you do?” I ask her.

“My life has been planned out long before I was born.” Faye tells me ast she jumps over a fallen log. I

can’t help the laughter that bursts out of my mouth, Faye turns and stares daggers at me at the same

time as the wolf behind me snarls.

“You mean that contract that so stupi d Alpha’s signed hundreds of years ago?” I ask her while she

stares at me down, we have stopped. moving and are just standing staring at each other.

“You know about that?” Faye asks with a tilt to her head, I just nod at her. “Huh, you have been busy.

No matter, knowing about the contract doesn’t affect the outcome of it. It was signed in blood years

ago, the Greylones have waited a long time for a female to be born. For us to take our rightful place at

the head of a Pack.”

“You do realise that the contract doesn’t name you right?” I watch as

The chase is on.

Faye eyebrows draw together in confusion, “you haven’t actually seen it have you? Did dear old father

tell you that you were named?” I take a step towards her, “did you think you were special Faye?”

“Shut up!” Faye snarls at me.

“Do you even know why you’re doing all of this?” I ask her as the wolf behind me starts snarling loudly.

“Or are you just following orders like a good little girl? You realise your father has basically pimped you

out to an Alpha, assisted you in ripping apart a happy family and all for what? To be standing here in

the forest with me.” Faye takes a deep breath and I watch her eyes flick to the wolf behind me, “he’s

played you so that he can have a say in Pack affairs, he didn’t count on me not just rolling over though

did he?” I turn to look at the wolf and see he’s actually foaming at the mouth now.

“You’re an Omega, you have no fight. You destroy Packs, trick Alphas into thinking they have found

their mates. You are a poison on the shifter world!” Faye doesn’t sound like she quite believes her

words, “you should have just left the second you found out Fraction had another mate!”

“Was that the plan? Tell her that Fraction was her mate for so long that she finally believes it?” I ask the

wolf behind me, “she doesn’t even know how a real mate feels, does she? How you need them close to

you, how you feel when they are away from you.” I turn back to Faye, “when you find that one person

you are meant to be with for the rest of your life it’s like every colour in the world has doubled in

brightness, even when you are mad at them you still want to take their side. Their very smell puts the

hairs on the back of your neck on end because you just want to swim in until you drown.”

“That’s not how it is, mates can’t always smell each other.” Faye says in a small whisper.

“Yes they can Faye, every single time. He’s lied to you, Fraction is not your mate, he’s mine. No matter

what you do to me he will never be yours. Have you seen what happens to an Alpha when split from

their Omega? I have.” I can see the confusion cross Faye’s face so I keep talking, maybe if I can make

her see what she’s done she will stop. “I got sick once and Fraction was so hurt from being separated

from me that he had to be locked in a cell for the Pack’s safety.

“That hasn’t happened this time though has it? He doesn’t need you anymore.” She’s not wrong,

Fraction hasn’t lost it like he did last time and I don’t know why that is.

“No but we also haven’t had another female come in and try to tear us apart either.” I say in a low

voice.

“Enough talking, keep walking. We are almost there.” I don’t ask where we are going. I just start

walking as the wolf behind me snarls and pushes me with his wet nose.

We aren’t walking for much longer before I see a small wooden cabin in between the trees, it looks like

an old hunting cabin. It doesn’t look big enough for someone to actually live in but from the smells

around it at least two wolves have been living here. I stop walking once I see the door open and Leon

walks out of it. I am so shocked at seeing Leon out here that I don’t even care that there is a snarling

wolf behind me.

“Faye? What the hell is this?” Leon asks her running down the stairs.

“Plans changed little brother, get her inside the cabin.” Faye says as she walks past him.

“What the hell is this?” I ask Leon as he walks over to me and takes my arm, pulling me towards the

cabin.

“I’m so sorry Anna,” Leon whispers as he marches me into the cabin, it smells like sweat and pi ss in

here and as soon as I see the chains on the

wall I start to dig my feet into the ground.

“I’m not going in there “I shake my head as Leon pushes me over the threshold, I fall to my knees and

start to s ob Faye planned all of this and I fell for it h ook line and sinker I don’t fight as I feel a hand in

my hair, I’m so mad at myself that I don’t even fight as I feel myself dragged across the wooden floor

and a cuff slammed around my ankle

“Now how about we continue our little chat?” Fave says once I’m

sitting on my as s and drawn my legs up to my chan I watch as Leon walks into the cabin and closes

the door, the chick of the door closing sounds so loud in the tiny cabin
