Chapter 2

Duncan

"No, my little Spare. You are not going to like this, but, you are my mate, you are going to come with me to my pack."

"What!! No! Please, I can't! I'll graduate in three months. I have money saved up so I can leave here and go to college. It's the only thing I have had to hold on to all these years. I promise I won't tell anyone. Believe me, I have no one to tell."

Her pleas were breaking my heart. There was no way I was going to leave my mate in this hell hole.

"When your shift ends, we will go to your house together and quietly gather your things. Then we will head for my pack, where we can sort it all out. I promise."

Third-person perspective

Spare should be mad every time she looked at him and smelled his delicious scent. She just went all weak in the knees. She wanted to scream, but all she did was nod her head. It shouldn't be too hard to get her things since they will be gone. They were going out on the town tonight for some sort of celebration.

Spare finished her shift and returned to Duncan's room. He was carrying a backpack as he guided her to his truck. "Ok, my little wolf. Time to get your things, and I will get you far away from here."

He must be almost healed because he wasn't walking funny anymore.

They drove in silence as they parked on a side street from her house. She took one look at him as she got out of the truck. He smiled a wolfish smile, "Little wolf, don't make me chase you. At least not tonight." He could see her shiver as she walked back to her house.

He knew he lied to her when he told her that the reason she had to go with him was that she knew he was there. He just couldn't leave here knowing she was living in that house with that family.

He'd finally found his mate. He wasn't letting her out of his sight ever again. They would have to do something about her name. He refused to keep calling her Spare. Her mother was a cruel bitch for giving her that name.


Spare grabbed what little stuff she had and the money she had saved up. Angerly fitting it all into an old duffle bag. She grabbed Max, the teddy bear she made from all the torn-up ones Lilly tossed away in her temper tantrums.

She snuck back out of the house. She walked up to the truck cursing herself and this mate-bond crap, she yanked open the door, got inside, and slammed it shut, just as her family pulled up into their drive. She ducked down low so they wouldn't see her, not that it mattered that much. They could never see her anyway.

It is a long 400 miles when there is an angry she-wolf in the truck with him. At first, he said nothing, but when he looked over at her silent figure, he noticed tears running down her face. "Crap," his wolf noted in his mind. "You have to talk to her, and we can't have our mate crying."

"Look, I am sorry about your plans. I promise, though, to make it up to you. Your life is going to change being my Luna. My pack is strong, and we have over 2000 members. All of us are warriors. You will be safe. I will make sure you never have to be around those jerks ever again."

"Won't your warrior pack be disappointed in a Luna that can't fight? I was never allowed to train."

Duncan didn't even give a second thought about it; it didn't matter to him and it won't matter to his pack either. He was more worried that she was so thin she needed to eat better. He was going to take her straight to the pack doctor for a check-up. Make sure she is ok. Then they will have breakfast and get her settled in his room.

He knew she was angry, and putting her in his room wasn't going to make things better. He didn't care; he was going to put her where he knew she was safe. Besides, she better get used to it; it was going to be her room, too.

She'd fallen asleep two hours ago when they were almost home. Ten minutes later he pulled up to the gate, as the guards waved him through. He came up to the packhouse and parked the truck. He looked over at her, she must have been exhausted to sleep so deeply.

He decided to change his plans a little, He'd take her to his bed and let her sleep. He carried her inside the house as various pack members stared on in curiosity.

Once in his room, he laid her down on his bed, took off her shoes and jacket, and then covered her up with his blankets; it was a very satisfying feeling to see her in his bed. He decided to look into her duffle bag, there wasn't much there that was for sure. An odd-looking teddy bear, a couple of T-shirts, a pair of jeans, a couple of pairs of underwear, and a bra.

At the bottom was an envelope. He looked inside. It must be the money she had saved up. He counted them. There were over three thousand dollars there. He went over to his hidden safe and put the money in there for her. He took note of the sizes of her clothes and put them all neatly in the top drawer of his dresser.

He left her to sleep and mind-linked his beta Marco to meet him in his office. Marco was already there waiting for him, with a big grin on his face. Ducan chuckled, not much happens here that he doesn't know or find out.

"So Duncan did you find something interesting at the Rising 'Nasty' Moon pack?"

"You know I did, asshole. I found my mate and you are not going to believe who she is."

"Well, don't keep me waiting in suspense drama queen, who is she?"

"She is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. Her name is Spare Williams, yes, as in the Williams of Rising Moon Pack. She is their second pup, Fraternal twins. She is nothing like that skanky slut Lily. She found me knocked out on the hotel floor, she is, or rather was a maid there."

"Spare? as in a spare tire? That isn't a nice name. Marco said with disgust, how could a mother do that to her child? Seriously, this pack is a piece of shit. Did you get any evidence before they made you?"

"I got some names of places to look up and names of missing girls; not all of them are wolves either. It seems they like variety. They are taking girls from human towns too, not too many at a time and not at the same place."

"Maybe your Mate will know a few things?"

"I don't think so, she was living in the shadows. I doubt many pack members even knew of her existence. You are right though, it won't hurt to ask her, even though she is pissed at me right now."

"Oh, really, and pray to tell you why she is pissed at you? Did you use your not-so-charming charm on her perhaps?"

"Nope, as it turns out, I ruined her plans to escape her pack. She was saving up every penny, to make her way to college. I don't know what her life was like, but I can tell you it wasn't all that good."

"She is underweight for one thing. She is as jumpy as a long-tail cat in a rocking chair factory. I can also tell you she is smart and clever as well. She is also fast and is probably going to plan to escape here as well, at least till we can show her what a pack is really like."

"To be honest, I don't think her plan of escaping would have worked, even though they treated her the way they did, I don't think they would have liked her leaving. They would think perhaps that she knew too much."

"We will take it slow, Duncan. She is going to be scared and untrusting for a while, but we will win her over. Show her she doesn't have to give up her dreams either."

Duncan

With Marco went off to check the border patrol and then I was off to bed. I sat in my office watching the fire in the fireplace, thinking of my wonderful mate and all the things that she was going to have to go through to be normal again.

I know I am going to have to take it slow with her and earn her trust. I was going to go back to her family house and have a look around. I would have to use his special talent to become invisible. That whole pack is a den of vipers, in serious need of being taken down.

As for Spare's dreams of college, I had no problem helping her achieve that dream. I'd also going to have her change that name of hers; he wasn't going to let that name be a reminder of what they did to her for the rest of her life.

I texted Marnie, my sister, asking her to get her enough clothes for a few weeks until they could take her shopping.

Marnie was a very cheerful and wise nineteen-year-old she-wolf, but she also had a mean side if anyone messed with someone she cared for. She texted back that she would be there tomorrow afternoon with all the things that Spare might need.

When it was time for bed, I had someone bring a spare cot to my bedroom. I wasn't going to frighten her right at the start by climbing into bed with her.

When I got into my room, her scent hit me like a runaway train. My wolf wanted to mate her and mark her right now. I cooled him off by reminding him that they had to earn her trust first. There she was, sound asleep in her bed. She might not know it yet, but it was going to be the only bed she would be sleeping in for the rest of her life.

She was clutching that weird bear and my pillow. I'm going to have to ask her what the deal was with that bear. It looked like it was pieced together from a bunch of other stuffed toys.

She was even more gorgeous in her sleep. God, her scent took on a warmer sleepy quality to it, making my mouth water and my cock hard in anticipation. Sigh, this isn't going to be easy to go slow. I knew I was in for several cold showers, so I walked into the bathroom for my first one.
