CHAPTER 4

" What the hell are you doing here?" I whispered so that Thomas and Victoria couldn't hear me.

" I didn't have anywhere else to go." He says.

" I thought you were dead." I say.

" No. He didn't kill me." Lucas says.

" I felt the tether break." I say.

" I surrendered. That's why the tether broke and he became your new Alpha." He says. And that was definitely obvious. He looked malnourished, his clothes were filthy and torn, and he smelt like he hadn't bathed in months and huge dark circles under his eyes.

" So, why the hell did you come to me?" I asked starting to push him away from the house. This was the last thing I needed.

" Because I don't know anyone else that I can turn to." He says.

" Well, you can't turn to me either. I don't want you here. You're just going to get me or my friends killed. Get the hell out of here. Alpha Jackson is already asking questions about me." I say.

" Why?" He asked looking at me weird. Like he didn't even understand what I said.

" Because Jackson thinks I helped you escape and I am still helping you now." I growled at him.

" I need your help Taylor. Please? I have nowhere else to go." He says.

" That's not my problem. Maybe if you were actually a good Alpha and didn't try to pick a fight with every pack that you came into contact with then you would still have a home and a pack. Your father would be disgusted in you." I say. And his whole face dropped. I knew that it was a low blow, but it needed to be said. His father was a great Alpha. And Lucas lost the pack in less than a year.

" Where am I supposed to go?" He asked.

" I don't know. How the hell did you get past the patrols?" I asked.

changed and I went back into my room. I put all my things together in my bag and I grabbed out my savings and I sat there counting it. $3800. That wasn't too bad considering I needed to pay for everything myself. Victoria had put locks on all the kitchen cabinets and fridge so that I couldn't steal their food while they weren't looking. So, I really was on my own. I needed to completely fend for myself. So that kind of savings was pretty good. But that still wasn't enough for me to leave this house. I needed a lot more if I was going to get a good start in life and get a house on my own. I
