Alpha Niall And His Lost Mate

"What the hell!" I screeched as I ran outside with Niall on my tail.

I was left flabbergasted as I took in the sight in front of me. My heart thumped against my chest like a beating drum, and the longer I looked at it, the more surreal it became.

My car, that I nearly destroyed just coming here, was in giant flames with a very flustered looking Valero, and a pissed Clarissa standing next to it.

"I was literally inside the building for two minutes!" I pulled on my hair as I gazed between Valero and Clarissa, silently waiting for an answer.

"It-it just erupted in flames! I-I.." Valero stuttered, still looking stunned by it all.

I threw my head in my hands with a big huff, feeling rather annoyed and frustrated from this whole trip. I knew I smelled a little extra gas on my way here as if it had a leak, but I didn't think it would've exploded!

I felt as Niall rested his hand on my shoulder, at which I shocked us both by flinching away. My annoyance at what he did was still burning in me, but as I turned to look at him and saw the sadness in his eyes, I felt myself letting go as I stepped into his embrace.

Warm tears soaked his shirt as they seeped from my eyes. I had no specific reason for crying, but from the overwhelming feeling of thinking my mate was in trouble, to finding out that he wasn't, to emerging from the building to see my first car on fire--it was all too much.

"Hey baby don't cry" Niall coaxed as he pulled back my face to look into my eyes."I'll get you a new car tomorrow if you want to"

"It's not about the car Niall" I semi shouted as I stepped away from him. He was taken aback by my movements and my tone, and I noticed that Clarissa and Valero looked slightly uncomfortable. "I missed you...I needed you and you were here doing God knows what with God knows who for whatever reason. I pulled an Alpha away from his pack to help me. I called on a rogue you obviously don't like to help me. I put them and myself in danger because YOU decided to take a trip to rogue-town without thinking of informing YOUR MATE!"

The silence sat between us like still water, and I was drowning in its thick, tense atmosphere. The only sound emerged from the cackling of the fire as it lit the open night. Niall gazed at me in thought for a while longer as I dried my eyes. Realising that he wasn't going to say anything else, I simply turned to leave.

"If we shift we'll be able to be back by midnight" I cleared my throat as I spoke, not once gazing back as I headed for the exit. I heard all of them falling in, but I dared not to look back.

"I'll shift and you can ride my wolf" I heard Niall's gentle and small voice as he spoke."You must be exhausted" The guilt and pain in his voice was evident, but I tried not to let it affect me.

I simply nodded, appreciating the idea since I didn't feel like running 300 miles in wolf form. Clarissa gave the gate guards a curt nod as we left. I was left confused knowing that Niall's scent wasn't masked, yet the guards as well as other rouges I passed didn't seem bothered by it.
