6 Tell Me the Pas

Franklin POV

“Explain to me how the f**k she escaped.” “Sir, I have no idea what happened. They were both in the cell. No one came in or out of that cell.” I laugh “you expect me to believe that she had magically disappeared from the cell. She is a f**king wolf, not a witch. They are both wolves, nothing more. I should kill you for your incompetence.” “I’m sorry sir, please.” “Get out of my sight before I change my mind and snap your f**king neck.” He rushes from my office. The door to my office opens a few minutes later and Eric walks in. He is my second in command. “Have you found her?” “No sir, we haven’t. We can’t even scent her. We ran all the way to the Nightfire Pack border.” “She isn’t stupid enough to run to pack wolves. She knows what they think of rogues. I have made sure that they both think it would be ten times worse if a pack found them.” “What do you want us to do sir?” “Keep looking, I have phone calls to make.” He leaves the room and I sit at my desk. I take the book out of my desk as this is not a number I call regularly. I place the phone to my ear.

“Alpha Grant” his cold voice comes through the phone. “Grant it’s Franklin.” There is a moment of silence before he finally speaks. “Why the f**k are you calling me after all these years?” “I just thought you should know that the b**ch escaped. My men are out looking for her but have had no luck finding her.” “How is this my problem? I gave you a lot of money to make the two of them go away and you dare call me now to tell me she is still alive.” “Go away can mean many things, Grant.” “I am Alpha to you.” “No you’re not. I am not a pack wolf and you are in no way my leader. Now she has no idea about her past, so it shouldn’t be an issue for you and your Luna. I just thought you should know.” “You better pray she stays gone or your little collective is going to be my pack’s next conquest.” “I told you she has no idea where she came from and she has been a prisoner all her life.” “Good, it better stay that way for your sake.” The call disconnects and I slam the phone down.

so well, Lydia. The little b**ch has escaped and I need to locate her before she causes any trouble.” There is silence and I know she is thinking about what she will demand of me for this favor. Her help is never free. “What do you want, Lydia?” “I’m not sure yet, but rest assured there will be a hefty price for this favor.” “Fine, I don’t care, just get here.” “On my way, love.” I hate when she calls me that. We decided long ago not to give into

One Week Later

Eli POV

I say sarcastically. “You’re lucky I knocked.” I roll my eyes but take a seat across from her. “What’s up that you’re here so early?” “I just wanted to see how things are going with Clara.” I smile “it’s really good. I just wish she would trust me enough to tell me what happened before I found her.” She reaches out, taking my hand. “I’m sure she will in time but don’t rush her. She seems really happy here with you.” “She does, I hope in time she accepts me completely.” “I believe she will.” She stands and hands me a piece of paper before she leaves my room. I open it and warmth spreads through

souls are bound to each other. You are my other half.” She stays quiet and I don’t want her to feel like she has to say it back to me. “Clara, I don’t expect you to say it back. I know that you are not ready to accept all this yet.” “Eli” she says, stopping me from continuing. “I have only ever said that to one man in my life.” I control the growl that wants to escape and push Silas to the back of my mind. Now is not the time to act like a jealous a** when she is finally opening up to
