At the same time a look of horror came across her face and she bolted out the door, Duncan can still hear her words as she ran, "NO! please not now." Without thinking he ran after her. He caught her just as she was heading for the back door. He wrapped his arms around her and she started to panic.
"Shhhh, little wolf. I am not going to hurt you."
She stopped moving and was quiet, I carried her over my shoulder back to my room. Duncan noticed how small she was and that she hardly weighed anything at all. He could feel her breathing; it was still fast but slowly calming down.
Spare got a good view of his really nice ass. Artemis was going crazy in her head. She was so frustrated that she could of slapped her, "Stop it you hussy, this messes up everything."
"He is our mate!!!! He can help us. Take in his scent, he isn't from our pack."
He went inside his room and shut the door locking it behind him. He sat her gently down on the bed , as he went to get a pair of his jeans. Just as he was buttoning them up, he saw her bolt for the door. Catching her quickly this time he sat down with her on his lap.
"Tell me my little wolf, why are you so afraid?"
"Please.. she whimpered, you have to let me go, I can't stay here in this pack anymore, you will ruin all my plans."
"Calm down little wolf and smell me again."
Spare looked at him for a little bit and then sniffed his scent again. It was the same as before but there was something else, "OMG, you're not from this pack." He smiled at her, taking her all in, his wolf Apollo was doing happy circles in his head. A very smug Artemis was saying "told you so" in her head over and over.
"What is your name my little wolf?"
"Umm.. my name?"
"With a chuckle he asked her again, "Yes, my little wolf your name."
Hanging her head in shame she whispered, "My name is Spare."
His mind couldn't get around it, what kind of name was Spare?
"As in a spare tire?! that kind of spare."
"Yes, as in that spare."
It's clear it embarrassed her so he decided to drop it for now."My name is Duncan McKenny of the Storm Crow Moon Pack." Spare didn't know a lot about the Storm Crow Moon Pack, only that it is a mysterious and secretive pack that the Wolf King hires to hunt down criminals and rogues.
"My full name is Spare Williams of the Rising Moon pack." His eye's went from golden to an almost copper color when she said her name. His voice gave off a low growl when he asked..."Williams as in Michael and Eric Williams?"
"Yes, my father is Eric."
"I met Eric's daughter Lilly, there was no mention of another daughter. "
"Lily is my twin sister, there was no mention of me because I am the Spare. I don't exist to them, unless they want to vent some anger or need an ego boost." It broke his heart to see her shrug it off as if it was normal. There were so many questions and so little time to get the answers. She isn't going to like what he has to tell her next.
"Spare you are not going to like this since you are my mate and you know that I am here. You are going to have to come with me to my pack."
"What!! No! I can't, I graduate in three months. I have money saved up so I can leave here and go to college. It's the only thing I have had to hold on to all these years. I promise I won't tell anyone, believe me, I have no one to tell."
Her pleas were breaking his heart, he had no choice she had to come with him. There was no way he was going to leave his mate in this hell hole.
"When your shift ends we will go together to your house and gather your things, quietly. Then we are heading for my pack where we can sort it all out. I promise."
Spare should be mad every time she looked at him and smelled his delicious scent, she just went all weak in the knees. She wanted to scream but all she did was nod her head. It shouldn't be too hard to get her things since they will be gone, they were going out on the town tonight for some sort of celebration.
Spare finished her shift and returned to Duncan's room. He was carrying a backpack as he guided her to his truck. "Ok, my little wolf. Time to get your things and I will get you far away from here."
He must be almost healed because he wasn't walking funny anymore.
They drove in silence as they parked on a side street from her house. She took one look at him as she got out of the truck. He smiled a wolfish smile, "Little wolf, don't make me chase you. At least not tonight." He could see her shiver as she walked back to her house.
He knew he lied to her when he told her that the reason she had to go with him was that she knew he was here. He just couldn't leave here knowing, she was living in that house with that family.
He'd finally found his mate, he wasn't letting her out of his sight ever again. They would have to do something about her name, he refused to keep calling her Spare. Her mother was a cruel bitch to give her that name.
________________
Spare grabbed what little stuff she had and the money she had saved up. Angerly stuffing it all into an old duffle bag. Lastly, she grabbed max her teddy bear, she had made him from all the torn-up ones Lilly tossed away in her temper tantrums.
She snuck back out of the house. She walked up to the truck cursing herself and this mate bond crap, she yanked open the door, got inside, and slammed it shut, just as her family pulled up into their drive. She ducked down low so they wouldn't see her, not that it mattered that much they never could see her anyway.
It is a long 400 miles when there is an angry she-wolf in the truck with you. At first, he said nothing but when he looked over at her silent figure, he noticed tears running down her face. "Crap," his wolf said in his mind. "You have to talk to her we can't have our mate crying."
"Look, I am sorry about your plans. I promise though to make it up to you. Your life is going to change as my Luna. My pack is a strong pack we have over 2000 members. All of us are warriors, you will be safe. I will make sure you never have to be around those jerks ever again."
"Won't your warrior pack be disappointed in a Luna that can't fight? I was never allowed to train."
Duncan didn't even give a second thought about it, it didn't matter to him and, it won't matter to his pack either. He was more worried that she was so thin she needed to eat better. He was going to take her straight to the pack doctor for a check-up. Make sure she is ok. Then they will have breakfast and get her settled in his room.
He knew she was angry and putting her in his room wasn't going to make things better. He didn't care, he was going to put her where he knew she was safe. Besides she better get used to it know it is going to be her room too.
