Pack Law (3 page)

Tristan leads me to a vehicle parked in front
of the mansion. It is an older red Ford pickup truck. He opens my
door for me to get in and then he walks around the truck to get in
his seat. “Whose truck is this,” replied Ava? “It is mine. I have
always loved this truck and could not bear to part with it”, he
replied. It looks like something you would drive Tristan. We drive
down the road in silence until we reached the gate and Tara is
standing there with a smile on her face waving at me. “I guess she
will be happy now that I am leaving. Now your cock can be happy to
see her pussy again”, replied Ava. I do not want her Ava. You are
my mate and you will continue to be my mate as long as I am alive.
“That choice was made while you were delusional from the fever. You
would have never marked me if you hadn’t been out of your mind with
the infection”, replied Ava. I trust my wolf Ava. If my wolf had
not found you worthy of being my mate I would have never marked you
regardless of the infection or the fever. We ride in silence for
twenty minutes before we reach my apartment. I look at Trinity and
ask, “What is the name of your pack?” “We are the Black Mountain
Pack. I want you to have my number to put in your phone Ava so you
can reach me anytime. I will come anytime you call me or need me. I
hope you consider what I have said”, he replied. I just need some
time to think this all through Tristan. I got out of the truck and
walked up to my apartment. He pulled away and didn’t even look back
at him as he drove away. I have a spare key in the potted plant
beside the door. My car and pocket book are at the hospital from
when I was kidnapped. I have to call my boss and explain about me
being kidnapped and pray they do not fire me from my job. I open my
door then walk into my apartment and collapse on the sofa. I look
around and notice that I have nothing. My walls are white because I
only rent this place and are not allowed to paint. The furniture I
have is from a thrift shop or through yard sales. None of my
furniture matches. It is all mix matched pieces. I haven’t been out
of school to long so I have been on a budget and I have had to
stretch my money to make it last. I have nothing here to make me
want to stay. I can’t believe I am actually considering taking
Tristan up on his offer to be his mate. I walk down the hall of my
apartment into my bathroom. I turn the shower on and walk to my
bedroom to get some clothes to wear. I pull out a pair of blue
jeans and a white t-shirt. I don’t think I am going to worry about
a bra or panties since I am going to be home. I walk back into the
bathroom where I strip off my clothes from earlier and get into the
shower. I placed my cellphone on the bathroom sink. The water
that’s running all over my body is so relaxing that I just stand
there and enjoy the sprays from the shower head. I could stand her
all day; unfortunately I don’t think the water will be hot by the
time I am through. I decide to shave my legs since I haven’t been
able to and I wash my hair then my body. I am finally done and I
reach for my towel and I notice that my clothes are not on the
floor where I left them. What the hell? Lance are you here? I must
be going crazy because I know that I left them on the floor. I turn
around to wipe the condensation off of my mirror and see a message
written on the glass. It said, “I am here to look after you and
keep you safe”. Lance that is very kind of you but you did not have
to come home with me because I am safe. It’s doesn’t hurt that you
actually pick up stuff. You are probably the only man I know that
would do something like that. I am actually having a conversation
with a ghost that I cannot see. If people saw me they would lock me
up for sure. Up until yesterday I didn’t believe in anything and
today there are ghosts that pick up after me and werewolves
battling over who’s going to be in charge. The best part of it all
is that I have been marked by the leader of the Black Mountain
Pack, it must be Thursday. All I can says is What the Fuck have I
got myself mixed up in? I put on my clothes and place my cellphone
back in my pocket. I guess I will head into the living room to
relax.

I walk into the living room to watch a little
TV. I sit on the couch and I can’t bring myself to turn it on.
Maybe I will take a nap since there has been so much going on. I
haven’t had much sleep here lately, I could certainly use it. I lay
on my side and I feel a blanket being pulled up over my shoulders.
Thank you Lance, I think I could get used to you being around. I
close my eyes and fall fast asleep.

I am dreaming that I am being chased by a
large black wolf. It must be Tristan coming for me, except his eyes
are red and he is growling at me. “It is me Tristan I have decided
to join you as your mate”, I replied. I hear this laughter and it
seems to be coming from the black wolf that looks like Tristan. The
wolf walk closer and then I can see the bones realigning and
snapping into place as the fur recedes off of the bones. The wolf
changes back into its human form that is Tara. She is standing
their perfectly naked in all her glory with nothing to be ashamed
of. I see that condescending smile she gave me during that
confrontation with Tristan. “He will not be yours human bitch. He
will always want me for I am a true wolf in every sense of the
word. I am alpha to his alpha,” replied Tara. That’s funny
considering he marked me and not you Tara. She lunges at me and I
am startled awake by someone trying to get into my door. I hear my
door knob being turned. I shake my head and try to clear the images
of Tara from my mind. As I stand to walk to my door, the door comes
crashing down and there are two big men grabbing me and tying my
hands behind my back. One of the men puts tape across my mouth and
throws me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. What is it
with people throwing me over their shoulders? Now I am really
getting pissed. I have been kidnapped two times in a matter of two
days. I am not amused by any of this and am tired of playing these
games. They toss me into a car and throw a pillow case over my head
so I don’t know where I am going.

Lance transports himself back to The Black
Mountain Pack and goes in search of Tristan. He must tell Tristan
what has happen to Ava. He runs into Lily and she places a hand
over his throat where he is able to talk. What is it brother? Ava
has been taken by some of the scouts in the Appalachian Pack. Oh my
Lance, we must find Tristan and tell him what has happened. I am
glad you want to speak now brother; it has been years since I have
heard your voice. Ava is the one Lily, the one to make the pack
whole and bring on a new generation of werewolves. We must not
interfere with her decision brother; it has to be her own choice so
that history doesn’t repeat itself. Lance and Lily go in search of
Tristan but he is not anywhere to be found. They walk outside and
head for the workshop behind the mansion. That is his favorite
place to be. They walk in and find Tristan under the truck changing
the oil. Sire, we have urgent and disturbing news for you. Tristan
jumps out from under the truck and walks over to Lily. What is it
Lily? Ava has been kidnapped be the Appalachian Pack. Lance went
along when you took Ava home and stayed with her. While she was
napping someone tried to open her front door, the two scouts from
their pack kidnapped her and threw her in a car and drove off.
Lance got back here as soon as possible to tell me what had
happened. Lance I am glad you were with her even though we are
going to discuss why you were with her. Sire he was only there to
protect the girl. I know it’s just my mated side coming out. I must
go and get Zane and Christian to help me rescue my mate.

It feels like we have been driving for hours.
My arms are sore and I am so uncomfortable from lying in this same
position. I need to stretch my legs out but I can’t due to all the
stuff in this car. I know how a sardine feels now. I feel the car
stop and hear the car doors open. Someone comes over to my side of
the car and opens the door then drags me out of the seat by my
hair. The one holding me up pulls the pillow case off of my head.
It is night time now and it is hard to make out all of the faces
around me. Welcome Ava, it is nice to finally meet the mate of our
enemy, my name is Michael. Your mate is holding up progress for our
kind. We have different views of how things should work. I believe
that we as werewolves are superior and should not hide in the
shadows like dogs at the feet of humans. I believe that humans
should fear us and we should turn more humans to wolves for our
cause. Tristan says that will go against Pack law. “We are pack
law”, he replied. “I am not mated to Tristan,” replied Ava. No, but
he has given you the mating mark and that is as good as mated in my
book. He will come looking for you and when he does we will be
waiting. How do you know all of this Michael? We have our spies
everywhere. Out the corner of my eye I see someone walking closer
to me. It is Tara, that bitch is a traitor. Tristan is going to
kill you Tara. “He is not half the wolf that Michael is. Tristan is
weak to choose a human as his mate. He ruins our line with weak
human trash,” replied Tara. “That’s funny considering you were just
telling him that you were going to be his mate,” replied Ava. Tara
walks over and slaps Ava in the face. We must all play the game
Ava. She reaches over and grabs Michael’s cock and starts stroking
it there in front of everyone. He grabs her hand and tells her that
this is not the time or place for this. She giggles and saunters
off into the shadows of the night. I am in so much trouble and I
don’t know how to fix it. Michael grabs be by my arm and drags me
into a cabin not far from where we are standing. It is very plain
looking and small. They are like the cabins that you would rent for
the summer. All the furniture is made out of wood and the floors
are hardwoods as well. There are no special touches around the
cabin. Michael pushes me into a chair and walks over to a bar and
pulls out some vodka from underneath it.

Tristan called a meeting with Zane and
Christian about what has happened to Ava. It has been hours since
the news of her capture. One of Zachery’s little girls comes
running into the room crying and screaming for Tristan. Zachery is
one of the original wolves from when Tristan’s father was alpha.
What’s wrong Emma? There are wolves from another pack killing our
people. They killed my papa. She is crying so loud you can hardly
understand her. I ran here as fast as I could. I am so scared
Tristan, please help us. Tristan and the other guys run to the
front door and find Tara lying on the ground bleeding from several
wounds. Tristan runs over to her and checks her injuries. What has
happened Tara? “We were ambushed by the Appalachian wolves. I was
out scouting and I didn’t see them coming. They had killed Zachery
before I could act and that’s when they double teamed me and left
me for dead,” replied Tara. “I want everyone here to check on every
single member of this pack. I want to know about casualties and
injuries as soon as possible”, replied Tristan.

Back at the Appalachian Pack, Michael is
getting more intoxicated as time goes by. “You know that Tara is
only using you to become the lead alpha bitch don’t you Michael”,
replied Ava. “That is of no concern to me. What I do know is that
right now Tara and some of my scouts are out killing some members
of Tristan’s pack. My scouts then are going to brutally attack Tara
and make it look like she had nothing to do with it to gain
Tristan’s trust. We will have him right where we want him,” replied
Michael.

Tristan has Zane to pick up Tara and take her
into the house. He lays her on the couch and turns to walk away. He
over hears Tara’s thoughts. It has never happened before. She has
always shielded well where he is concerned and has never heard
anything from her. She is thinking that the human bitch is going to
get what is coming to her and once she gets Tristan to kill Michael
she can be alpha to his alpha then she’ll never have to fuck
Michael again. Zane leaves the room and doesn’t say anything to
Tara about what he has learned. He is going to discuss his finding
with Tristan and see what he wants to do about it. Zane comes up to
Tristan and takes him to the side and explains what he has
overheard from Tara. Tristan is so mad he’s growling and squeezing
his fists tighter and tighter. “I am going to kill that lying
bitch”, replied Tristan. Hold on a minute alpha, I have a plan that
just might work, replied Zane. “It better be good because if not
that bitch is dead”, replied Tristan. We need to play along to gain
Tara’s trust so we can make her think that the human was a mistake.
You will need to convince her that you want her to be your mate
that way she will slip up and take us to where Ava is,” replied
Zane. “I don’t know if I can do this Zane. I want to rip her head
off for hurting my mate”, replied Tristan. I know man; I would feel
the same way if I had a mate that was endangered. She will be a
good mate for you Tristan, replied Zane. We head back into the
house and walk over to Tara. How are you feeling now Tara, replied
Tristan? “I feel really bad. I am sorry that I made you mad
earlier”, replied Tara. Do you know that someone kidnapped Ava,
replied Tristan? Oh my goodness Tristan, I am so sorry. I had no
idea something like this has happened. I am here for you if you
need me,” replied Tara. I will take you upstairs and let yet you
rest on my bed Tara. I almost lost you and I will not let anything
happen to you. I can’t believe I tossed you away for a human that
has nothing that you can’t give me. It is like my eyes have been
opened for the first time. I hope who ever has Ava gets rid of her
so I do not have to deal with the mess I have created,” replied
Tristan. “I am glad you are finally coming to your senses my love,
now take me upstairs and show me how sorry you are”, replied Tara.
“It will have to wait Tara until I am back to full strength. I want
to be able to show you how sorry I am,” replied Tristan. “I am
willing to wait Tristan. I know how good you can give it when you
are at your best”, replied Tara.
