Chapter 4

~M

I knew I had to leave as soon as possible, because when I woke up I saw Lukas asleep in a chair next to the bed. He must have stayed with me while I was passed out. He stayed with me because I'm his mate and he loved me.

And I couldn't return his feelings.

I look around the room, and a shiver runs down my spine as I realize it's way to similar to a hospitals. With white walls, white floor, and blue curtains separating each empty beds.

I slowly swing my legs over the bed and stand up making the bed squeak loudly. I snap my head to the chair Lukas is sitting in. I can see his chest moving up and down, deeply and slowly. He's still asleep.

I tip toe over to another chair where my bag is. All that's even in the bag is some cloths, money from a couple of jobs I've tried in the past, a knife that my sister gave me and a hair brush.

My hair has natural curls and it doesn't even need to be brushed, but it was my sisters.

I grab the bag and staying on the balls of my feet I try to make it past Lukas. I make it past my bed and I glance out at the window it's daylight out, probably late afternoon. Which means it's going to be harder to escape.

But I can't stay, I have someone I need to find. And I can't bring him into the madness.

"Awake already? But you barely slept." A voice says and I don't have to turn around to know who is it. I get butterflies just by hearing his voice.

"Well I usually don't sleep in a bed, so that helped," I say turning around to face him. Lukas was a few feet away keeping his distance. But in his eyes I could see the fight to stay that far away.

And honestly a part of me wishes he would cave, and come running over to me and hold me in his arms.

I felt painful tingles in my finger tips at the thought. The fact he was so close yet I couldn't touch him, made a knot in my stomach.

"Your a Rogue." He states and I nod. Ignoring the pain that shot through me because of the disgust in his voice.

"But you didn't hurt my Brother." He states. I let that sink in then repeat it over and over in my head.

"Brother?" I asked, suddenly it clicked in my head. "Oh my god. Your Jason's brother? The one that is going to be Alpha when he finds his mate?" I ask and Lukas smirks.

"My name is Lukas Grey. But I go by Luke." He pauses, "and you are?" He asks, raising an eyebrow with a smile and gesturing towards me.

"Sophia. Sophia Frost," I say numbly, not returning his smile. There is silence for a while as we stare at each other.

"He talked about me? Jason," he clarifies and I nod, "Yea he said you were impatient," I say with a smirk. Luke's face drops into a serious expression.

"Because I was, when it came to finding my Luna," he says and I cross my arms over my chest. Trying to calm the butterflies.

God the bond between us was strong. Probably because he's an Alpha. I could feel his want, his lust, his desire. And no matter how hard I tried to hide mine I know he could feel mine too.

I also felt his fear, something's Alphas aren't supposed to show. But it made me feel relaxed knowing he was letting me honestly know what he feels. Not bothering to hide anything.

I could also feel his worry and how scared he really was about having a mate.

"Was? Oh so that's great you've found her?" I ask sarcastically. Luke's expression softens and he smiles slightly. He has the this way about his smile that just makes you want to grin back at him. That's just how his personality made you feel, he was happy, and bubbly, but can be intimidating, strong, and cocky.

"Yea, she's clever, she seems to like sarcasm. She is also very beautiful. With long blonde hair and sharp green eyes. And a body that I can't take my eyes off of," he says looking at me with those, now, dark blue eyes.

"Well congratulations," I say and roll my eyes. Men, they all think alike.

"Still she's going to try to escape," he says and pulls a chair out from behind the curtain.

"But it's pointless," he continues sitting in the chair. I take this opportunity to walk over to the window.

"Really? Why is that?" I ask and unlock the window.

"Because the whole territory is surrounded and she can never leave me," he says staring at me intensely.

"Oh well that sucks for her," I say pushing up the window which made my voice go down slightly.

"Yes. However she is still going to try and run," he says and I jump up on the windowsill and look down.

Second floor I can make it.

"Hmm. Why would she do that?" I ask and face him with my back to the window.

"Because she's sacred," he says and his faces drops back to serious, "she's scared to love and she's scared of being loved. She scared of commitment, but most of all she's scared of having a mate that will love her unconditionally." He says.

Every word he says sends goosebumps up and down my body. He starts to walk towards me and for some reason I don't move. I don't look away from his deep eyes. I don't want to even if I could.

My wolf begs me to stay with him to give him a chance, but I ignore her. She will get over him when we leave the territory. Besides she knows what we're chasing after and we don't have time to waste. We have to find that beast and kill it.

Luke puts his hands on the windowsill and looks me in the eyes. God I love his eyes, I could just stare at them while brushing my hands through his sandy hair.

He breaths in my scent gently and I can feel his breath on my neck making me shiver.

"But the thing is no matter where she goes or what she does. There is no way in hell that I could ever stop loving her. She is my everything," he says and stares deep into my eyes.

I lean forward slightly so our faces are centimeters apart.

"Can't be scared of some thing you don't believe in," I say and peck him on the lips, ignoring the fireworks in my stomach, and teasing him to caught me, before falling backwards out of the window.

"Sophia!" Luke yells and tries to grab me but he is to late. While I fall I do a summer in mid air and land on my feet.

I take a second to get my bearings then when I start to walk a jolt of pain goes up my ankle.

"Ow. Ow. Ow," I say bouncing around on one foot holding the other.

"Next time wear a skirt. It would be a better view," Luke shots out at me from the window and gets ready to jump out of it.

Well excuse me for wearing shorts.

"Oh shut it." I say, with my British accent sticking out. I start to run toward the trees. I notice that he just jumped.

I run through trees dodging branches with Luke close on my heals. He is getting closer and closer, I curse under my breath.

I stop and Luke tries to grab me but I spin around him and elbow his back in between the shoulder blades.

He coughs violently, before quickly turning to me and again tries to grab me again. I put my hands on his shoulders and kick up into a handstand on his shoulders.

Then fall back down and run while he's surprised. He catches up in no time and I turn to swing a punch.

"Aren't you gonna get your pack to catch me?" I ask and he puts up his hands out to catch my fist. Then pulling my arm behind my back pressing me up against him.

"Their on the outer part of our territory incase you traveled with people who want you back. Plus in case you get past me," he says but smiles. "Which won't happen," he finishes and I squirm up against him trying to break free of his hold.

Earning a growl "You really shouldn't do that," he says his eyes turning dark with lust. An idea popped into my head.

"Do what?" I ask and press myself harder against him. Pressing my hip against his groin. He tilts his head back and closes his eyes.

"Sophia," he mutters and I smirk at my accomplishment.

I lean in and whisper "Luke," with my lip grazing his ear. He lets out a growl and locks eyes with me. His eyes are a dark navy blue and desire is the only emotion in them. He uses one hand to grab the back of my neck gently and presses his lips to mine. The sparks go flying surprising me. It's like I could melt into him.

He moves his lips against mine rhythmically and runs his hand through my hair.

How am I suppose to leave him now? No one warned me that my mate would be the best damn kisser. That doesn't make it any easier.

I snap out of the trance and try to push him but he has both my arms in one hands. "Lukas ," I start to say but he pushes his tongue through my mouth. He dominates the kiss and scraps his k9 tooth against my lip. I let out a moan and he deeps the kiss more. He pushes me up against a tree as his tongue claims every part of my lips and mouth, taking his time yet being rough.

He breaks apart to catch our breath. "I can't let you go now," he says panting and I give him a smirk. "Your gonna have to love," I say and knee him on the crotch. He lets out a grunt and slides down to his knees.

I take this time to bolt away from him but then a hear an innocent voice call "Sophia!" I look in front of me and to the right, to see Jason.

He has a bright smile on his face and his waving at me. Those big brown eyes that are so new to the world. I can't be the first to scar those eyes.

I turn at him, full speed.

"Sophia?" He asks and I smirk. Then I scoop him up in my arms and stop running to hold him up upside down by his ankles.

"Why are you out here alone?" I ask and he tries to pull up his shirt. "Sophia. Put me down," he says trying his new Alpha voice. I chuckle, "answer my question," I say.

"I got bored you've been asleep all day!" He says and tries to wiggle out of my grip.

Before I could say anything a pair of arms wrapped around my waist surprising me. The butterflies in my stomach and the shivers from his breath meant it had to be Luke.

"Caught you," Luke breaths. And I set Jason down gentle. "This doesn't count," I say and wiggle out if his arms.

"Sophia, were you running away?" Jason asks and I look over at him. I crouch down to be eye level, "Jason you have been nothing but sweet to me. And no one has been like that to me in a very long time. But I can't stay, it's not in my nature or my blood." I kiss him on the forehead, "I'm sorry," I whisper and I ruffle his hair.

He acts like a smart ass and he seems like he's more mature than he really is. But I know this is going to break is heart.

"But your not going to leave," Luke says. And I stand up and put a hand on my hip facing him. "Yes I am." I say with my Alpha voice.

"No your not. And if I have to lock you in my room I will," he snaps. I let out a frustrated breath. "Yea I am. You can lock me up, or hide me away in a room. But I will never stop trying to escape from you," I say through gritted teeth.

Luke's chest rises and falls heavily obviously trying to control his wolf. "Jason go back to the pack house," I say and he nods and runs in the other direction.

"Luke I'm not going to stay with you. I don't think your pack will be to set on a Luna as a Rogue. Plus I don't think you need one." I say and Luke runs his fingers through his hair roughly. Then looks me, "I need you." He says and I shake my head.

"Then I'm sorry," I say and start to turn around. "I am too," he says and then pressed onto the side of my neck at a weird spot.

"What are you-"

Is all I can say before my eyelids fall closed and my body slumps against his chest before I see black again.
