(Scarlett)

Alexander held on my hand as if both our lived depended on it as he drove toward the airport of Detroit. The two of us were frightened and scared, but the two of us knew that we needed to stay calm. Anastasia was asleep in my arms, and I knew that it was only a matter of time before she woke up.

However, I was hoping that she woke up when we were halfway across the planet. Feeding her or changing her diaper was going to sink a little time, and I didn’t want to do that at the airport. The thing was, I knew that things were going to be difficult from here as we needed to make sure that we were able to get on that plane before anyone saw or reported us.

That also provided the fact that no one has already. It was likely that it might have happened if anyone suspected it, but we were well aware that they were on the look out for us. The park was disoriented as it was, and we have been hearing rumors that people were looking for us, though thankfully nob*ody has managed to find us in the safe house.

As far as I understood, nob*ody knew of his whereabouts, but that didn’t mean that it wasn’t easy for them to find us if they wanted to, at least now that we’re roaming around.

It would be a matter of time before everyb*ody caught us and that was not something that we wanted, at least not until we were out of here. Alpha Mathew did not let anything slide, and that was something that I knew; however, to think that we were the ones who were on the run when it was him who chose to start this was something that I couldn’t get out of my head.

Mostly because I knew that now, he needed to kill Alexander, Anastasia, and I to ensure being able to claim his position as Alpha, and that was not something that we were going to allow. The man killing me or my daughter, to be more specific, was not something that I was going to allow. I knew that Alexander would fight him till death, but I wouldn’t be able to cope with fighting the man. And I knew for a fact that my daughter wouldn’t be able to fight him.

She was an infant and he would not have the mercy even against his own granddaughter. It still pained me to know that he was well aware that my family were put as omegas when we were the ones who were supposed to be Alphas.

The man took me in as a ‘daughter’ and for a long time, I actually believed that he wanted me to be Alexander’s love. It may have been the case, but his intentions weren’t as pure as I thought that they were. The fact that he had raised me under his roof for a long while, f*orcing his wife, the woman who had killed my parents, to raise me.

Regardless of whether or not he knew of the fact she still did raise me, and the fact that he knew that he and his family were in charge of killing my face. Was something that I couldn’t let slide. It was something that heard me more than ever, especially since I knew that he had treated me less than any of the other pack members. Yes, he did give me what I wanted as a person.

I did go to the best schools, and I did feel like I was cherished. But if I came back to look at things, I was mostly serving them. He was doing what he was simply to pay back for what he did. But I was treated like a slave, and that was not something that I could actually forget.

If anything, I think that both he and Luna Katlyn wanted me as his Luna to ensure that our baby carried MY Alpha’s blood. He may have had the blood, but he was not the rightful Alpha, our baby would be the rightful Alpha of the pack and that was something that he knew very well.

They wanted to use my name, my bloodline, and that was not something that I could forgive. Alexander may have been my maid, but had he not been my maid, or had he not chosen to be with me, then things would have taken hold.

Different turns. I just didn’t understand where this whole game of fate was taking us. But I didn’t like it. I had to admit that much. “Are you okay?” Alexander asked, breaking the train of my thoughts. I gave him a weak smile and nodded. The last thing that I wanted was to worry him about what I was thinking right now.

My mate’s mind was already racing with so many things that this was just eating him inside, and knowing that, I knew that I shouldn’t be pressuring him more than necessary, if anything, I knew to be his support instead of the person who pushed him to a limit that he might not want to reach. The man was already doing with enough. He was worried and he was scared.

The fact that he knew that responsibility that he had to take care of was something that I care and let go of, and that was something that I was choosing to be supportive. Regardless of whatever I was feeling, I knew distance, quiet and strong. For him it was something that he appreciated, but I also knew that it confused him. He was asking questions, and those questions were ones that aren’t have answers to, not for now at least.

“I am fine, my love.” I said softly. I brought his hand to my l*ips, gently k*issing his knuckle before looking at Anastasia who was fast asleep in her car seat. I was thankful for that part. The last thing that we both needed to face was her being fussy on the trip, and I knew that we would end up having to put her to sleep as not to draw unnecessary attention to us. We would be able to roam freely when we were in different grounds.

However, for now, we were on different Alpha grounds and that was not something that we wanted to deal with. “Are you okay? How are you feeling?”

My voice was soft as I asked, and I knew that he could feel somewhat more secure knowing that I was there for him. He was still worried about everything that was happening and where things were leading; however, I knew that he was also well aware that I was going to be there for him no matter what happened, and that was something that he appreciated more than he let out. If anything, I knew that he felt more content about being with me than he felt about being with anyone else.

I knew that it was easy for me to mask my pain and to mask my tongue. It was something that I had learned over the years, though Alexander could mostly get.

Out of what I saw and understand what I was hiding this time, I knew that he was too distracted to read my expression, and that was something that I took advantage of. It was something that I was willing to do for him, and hiding my pain was not going to be that h*ard, especially when I knew that I had to do it for him and my daughter. I knew that it.

To stand strong, regardless of whatever it was that I was failing, I knew that things were going to be right. I just needed to be patient. And though my patient line was being very short this time, I knew that I needed to be strong for him, for myself, and for my daughter. That was not something that I was going to ignore.

“I am okay, I think. I just need to clear my mind a bit and I also need to calm my wolf down.” He said, choosing to be honest about what he was feeling.

The fact that he was opening up to me reminded me of when the two of us were kids and when I was the only person that he knew he could speak freely to. When it came to everyone else who were around him, whether it was his friends, parents, or close family members, he was often quiet about how he felt. But the two of us knew very well that I was the only one who was able to see through his pain.

I put on the best smile that I could muster, letting him know that I was there supporting him, and that was not scared though I was as I held my daughter, my heart raced against my rib cage, the scent. Love. Everything around me was different, it was new and I was thankful for the fact that the only thing that kept me quiet and calm was her and my mate’s presence.

It was a smile that I used to hide how I felt. I even trained myself enough to make it reach my eyes to mask my own pain. It gave me a sense of strength to know that I could smile despite everything that I was going through, and regardless of whatever the situation was, I knew that I could often stand knowing that I was growing stronger out of this.

If anything, I knew that it was something that kept me strong, actually. And regardless of whatever pain that I false, people would often expect me to cry, but I would mostly be smiling. I would only cry on that out my pain when I was alone and in private, whether in the bedroom or the bathroom or in other cases in the house, my own house through more specific.

“You know that the two of us would manage to somehow get out of this. We just need to find the right way to cope with whatever it is that we are going through.” I said, assuring him. Alexander looked at me for a few seconds before nodding. He squeezed my hand, as if asking for comfort, and I gently massaged his knuckle as we reached the airport’s parking.

Time ticked, and I could tell that it was now or never. We were either going to manage getting out of here without getting caught, or we were going to end up getting into a mess that neither one of us wanted to handle. The thing was, I didn’t even know how things were going to end up going as we both didn’t know our fate when it came to this.

The only thing that I did know was that we didn’t have time to think. We just needed to act out. And the fact that we barely had enough to support the three of us was not something that I could miss. We couldn’t withdraw anything from the card and therefore, we knew that we were going to need to find means of dealing with cash, or in other words, just like my beloved was doing, we were dealing with gold.

“Come on, we need to get out of here.” He said, parking the car. The car was going to be abandoned here at the airport, it could end up leading to where we went, that is true. But the thing was, the car that we originally fled with was traded with this old one. The old man was more than thrilled to make the trade, and despite knowing that Alexander loved his car, to ensure that we were safe, he made the strange trade.

“We have made it this far, Alexander. I think that we can manage the rest,” I said, and he smiled.

I knew that he was thankful for my enthusiasm, though that enthusiasm only came because I needed to. Moscow is feeling. I wasn’t feeling as well organized as I wanted to be, and I was still scared that anyb*ody could actually see us here. That was not something that I wanted to deal with.

I wanted to ensure that we were out of here before anyone caught us, and more specifically, who for anyone got his hand on my daughter. The nurses weren’t here, and we’re not going to be able to save her if I needed to run. That was not something that I favored, but I knew that we could have risked their lives anymore than we have. They needed to flee, and that was something that we allowed them to do.

“I hope so, baby girl.” He said, smiling softly before nodding as he got out of the car. I got out and watched he unbuckled Anastasia’s seatbelt before a heavy feeling settled in my c*hest, making my heart ache for a second before I looked at the clicking boots which were behind me.

My heart raced against my ribcage, and I could tell that Alexander had the same feeling as he rose to his feet to look behind me. He looked inside the car at our daughter once then at me as I turned to face the person who stood behind me, holding a gun at me, making my heart drop.

“Alpha Mathew has requested your presence.” He said, glaring daggers at me and Alexander. “Now, you have two options, either you comply or I f*orce you to, and believe me, his deal was to bring you dead or alive; therefore, you being dead wouldn’t be making any difference to him…”
