The New Alpha

Chapter 31

This is the best thing to do. I repeat this to myself as I walk out of my bedroom and down the stairs. I decide it's easier to assume he knew about me all along...it's not his fault. He didn't know his love for me was because of what I am. One day his true mate will come and he will be- I can't finish that thought.

One thing I can't leave unfinished is the murder of Lucian, May, and my unborn cousin...but that will have to be a different day. It's time to get smart. It's to risky to get my revenge right now...but one day I will avenge them. I sneak out to the back door. My eyes linger up at the window on Maddox. I see his brown eyes turned down in sadness, his lips parted as he lets out an order, strong hands shaking...a part of my heart hurts knowing I'll never see him again but the other part is glad. Hoping if I never see him again I'll never have to think if he was involved with May and Lucians death. My lingering eyes shift to the dense forest. Maybe my parents will help me get out of town. It's the least they can do after dropping this on me.

I quickly slip in past the tree line. Disappearing from the packs view. The trees calm me. The cool air whips past my hair and cools my skin. I sigh and try not to focus on what's behind me. Literally. No more thinking about Maddox or Lena or Peter. The only thing I can think about it getting out of town and running from alphas for the rest of my life, or at least until I can figure out to hide my scent forever.

I almost reach their house before I hear whispers. My first instinct is to get out of sight and run but then I recognize the voice. My heart pounds and I quietly slip closer.

"Listen to me boy, we need to find her now!" Maddox's fathers voice grows angrier with each word

"I know, have you seen Maddox? He's a mess. Almost like she's really his mate" Jax says and looks away from his father in thought

"Either way we did not kill the alpha and luna of this pack for nothing! We must find her before some other alphas takes her for his own! She will be Maddox's and he will have the most powerful pups of all time" by now he's pissed and the last part of my heart is broken

I feel rage engulf my entire being and I feel myself shifting but right before I can I feel a hand on my shoulder. I gasp but it's covered by another hand. Fear over takes my rage but as soon as I turn around I'm met by Victoria. I raise an eyebrow, extremely surprised to see her "what are you doing?" I mouth afraid they will hear

"Come with me" she mouths back

I fight going but she pulls me along. Once we are out of earshot even for a werewolf she faces me "Eve you can't" she tells me

Fire erupts "what do you mean! You heard what they said! They killed them" angry and sad tears roll down my cheeks

"I know, I know" even tears blur her vision "but by you exploding on them, two very trained alphas, you would be harmed or even killed" she tells me

"I don't care!" I scream and she covers my mouth again

"Stop, we will get our revenge but right now I'm trying to help you" she tells me

Again I raise an eyebrow "why?" I ask her

"Because I-" she rolls her eyes "it doesn't matter. Do you want to get out of town or not?" It's like she read my mind "mom was talking to me and didn't know what you were going to do...she was worried about you" she says like she's trying to convince me "she gave me the idea"
