“Get the fuck inside my car now!” I growled at her.
She was only seventeen, and yet she thought she could run away and live with a man who made her wait in the middle of the highway at the full moon, where sex-hungry unmated males might be roaming around.
Her body jolted from my growl. Her eyes widened when I opened the car door and she immediately ran to the other side of the car, opening the passenger seat and sliding in, leaving her bags behind.
I bent down to pick up her bags, throwing them all in the back seat of my car before sitting back inside.
I revved up the engine without saying anything. I was still fucking furious.
I didn’t think there was anything wrong with females having relationships when they were under the age of eighteen, but running away to live with an obviously irresponsible man irritated me.
“My siblings don’t know I’m not home.”
I snickered, shaking my head. “I’m not stupid. If they know your plan, then I guess I won’t be seeing you here.”
“Please, don’t tell them I ran away.”
“What do you want me to tell them? I snatched you in the middle of the night so we could hang out and now I’m returning you home?”
“I don’t know.”
“You’re acting out of stupidity.”
I felt anger arising from her, and I was guessing the only reason she was holding herself from snapping at me was that she thought I was Alpha Jacob. She was probably aware that Alpha Jacob was not going to take any bullshit from her.
“That boyfriend of yours, leave him. If he cared for you, he would have been there at your meeting place even before you came there. Unless, of course, he’s dead.”
“You’re cruel.”
“I am. But at least I’m not stupid.” I glanced at her. She was refusing to look at me, but her hands were coiling into fists.
We sat in silence as we drove to her territory. I wanted to ask for her name, but I guess it wasn’t that important.
She insisted I drop her off just at their border, but I didn’t. I wanted her inside their packhouse, and I wanted to talk to Alpha Darvin or Lady Katarina. They needed to watch her before she pulled another stunt like this.
Lady Katarina was already at the front of their packhouse when we arrived. It was almost four in the morning, but the whole house was lit up. It looked like they had found out that their princess was missing.
The moment we stepped out of the car, Lady Katarina rushed in and pulled her sister into a tight hug.
“Where did you go? Darvin is already outside the territory doing a manhunt for you!” Her eyes then darted to mine, but she was still speaking with her sister. “Why didn’t you say you would be hanging out with him?”
“Alpha Jacob and I just decided to hang out…” She said it in almost a whisper, and I couldn’t stop myself from laughing at this point.
Lady Katarina pulled away from hugging her sister as she held her shoulders, her eyes squinting. “Alpha Jacob? He’s mated. Why would he hang out with you?”
Her mouth opened as her eyes shifted in my direction. “He’s not marked.”
I raised my hands in the air, my mouth twitching into a grin. “Can I explain?”
The sisters were just looking at me. Their foreheads were creased, and they looked so much alike, except that the youngest one had fuller lips and seductive eyes. And for a moment, those doe eyes sucked me in.
Fuck! What am I supposed to do?
“My name is Dominic. And I found her in the middle of the highway.”
“You found her where?”
“You’re not Alpha Jacob?”
