chapter 3

Back to Ryder's POV

So she is a werewolf, yes, I'm so pleased but I still don't understand why she can't feel the bond and something is definitely up about her running away.

"Yes, sure no problem, why don't I meet you tomorrow where I found you today say 11 am"

"Ok"

" We are here, I point to the house in front"

" Oh, Thanks" She looks up at the house like she is scared of it,

"Sorry, I just need to work up the courage to go in. I'm not sure what Im walking into" she said looking at her hands.

I just want to hug her and tell her it's going to be ok, but I can't and it's killing me.

" Do you want me to come with you?"

She shakes her head, at that moment, a girl walks out and screams " Oh my god Lilly you have been missing for 10 months" Lilly rolls her eyes at her

" Yeah I know Rose, I had to get away"

" We need to tell you, parents "

"NO" Lilly shouts, it was an Alpha voice even I felt overpowered by it.

" If anyone does, I will just vanish again"

No, I can't have that she is my mate.

"Don't worry Lilly, no one is going to do anything you don't want" I say by this point, her uncle and his wife are out with Rose. I push her to go in.

" see you tomorrow Lilly 11 am" I turn around with a smile on my face. I asked my uncle not to tell my parents as I was not ready, he wasn't happy but he agreed. We spent the next couple of hours catching up and I told them about my travels and what I saw and did, it was fun seeing Rose again, we were 10 the last time we met, she is the same age as me.

Eventually it was just me a Rose left, she was telling me the gossip of the town, so basically Ryder owns most of the town, it is made up of 70% werewolf and 30% humans tho they don't know about us.

" Can you tell me about Ryder" I ask

"Well he is the Alpha, he has 2 younger sisters, he is 22, a bit of a play boy, he has a temper I guess you noticed most people are scared of him but he keeps us safe. He was meant to take over from his dad when he turned 18 like it happens in other packs but his dad disappeared when he was 16 so he took over then, I don't really know much about it to be honest, so are you going to tell me what is going on and why your here?"

I looked at her and sighed playing with my sleeve

" Look I'm sorry but I can't at the moment, I will once I.... guess feel safe"

Rose came over and hugged me " Ok"

" If I wanted to do you think Ryder would let me stay"

" You would have to ask him but I don't see why not" she said with a shrug.

Knock

Knock

My aunt walks into the room,

"Lilly, Ryder can't meet you tomorrow now, he will contact you later"

" Ok, thanks, I'm really knackered, I think I'm going to head back to the hotel and have a nap and grab something to eat," I say getting up to leave.

" You can stay, I can get the spare bed out," Rose said

" it's fine but we definitely need to meet up later, can you put your number in my phone" I give her my phone.

A couple of hours later

I had a nap went and grabbed some food, I then decided to go for a walk. I love forests so that's where I headed with my backpack. I had been walking for about 45 mins when I come across a hidden lake it was beautiful, I sit down and pull out my sketchbook and start drawing.

This place is amazing my wolf Ghost is telling me,

It's a shame I can't run free, I can feel her sadness

I will let you out once I feel safe, nothing else has gone right for me.

You need to let your guard down and I need to start using my senses more, let's start tomorrow. She said as she was bouncing up and down.
