The Big Bad Wolf Mate

Once we were done with our girl time we all headed down to the kitchen for lunch. My Aunt and Uncle were sitting in the dinning room talking when we walked in.

"Good morning, ladies."

We all blushed and laughed then each took a seat at the table. The staff had just served everyone but they returned from the kitchen with plates for us then retreated back to finish cleaning up. We were starving and I could feel a certain pair of eyes burning a hole into my forehead. I looked up to see Chase glaring at me with more than anger in his eyes and I couldn't help but feel a little guilty for what I said. But surely someone like him knew that I needed to at least talk to my mate even if he didn't think he was the best choice for me.

Just as he was about to speak, a shy she-wolf walked up to him and whispered something into his ear. He nodded his head and excused himself to his office. My Uncle watched as he walked down the hall and suddenly I felt nervous.

A few minutes later he returned to the table and asked my Uncle and I to accompany him to the office for a phone call. I looked at the girls and shook my head as they began to stand up. If my father was on the phone I didn't want them to be a part of the ass chewing I was about to receive. I got up and walked with my Uncle to Chase's office and once the door was closed I sat in his chair.

"Ember, your father is on the line. He would like to speak with you about your disappearance." Chase said with his lips pursed together and a stern look on his face.

I picked up the line and took a deep breath before he pressed the hold button.

"Father." I said as boldly as I could, trying not to let him hear the nervousness in my voice.

"Ember! Thank goddess you're ok. What are you doing in Tennessee?"

"I needed to get away father. I have a lot to think about now that you don't want me to run your pack. You may not believe I am leader material but I'll be damned if you think I would stay there to be someone's property while he took over for you." My rage was bubbling just below the surface but I was ready for the fight.

"Ember..." His voice ended and another came over the line.

"Hello sweetheart!" My heart was in my throat and the sudden urge to reach through the phone and tear his out was growing by the second.

"What are you doing there?"

"Your father and I were discussing some business and he informed me of your little escape. What did I tell you if you didn't take my deal?"

"You wouldn't destroy an innocent pack just because I refused to be your mate?"

"Watch me. Now, I'll give you one more chance to think this over, or I will attack your pack and make every wolf in here my slave. I don't like taking such drastic measures but I always get what I want one way or another and if threatening you gets the job done, well then I'll do it. You have until the end of the year which is 3 1/2 months from now to get yourself together and return home, or things will get ugly." I heard the phone disconnect and my biggest fear was coming to life.

I would never submit to him but I didn't want anything to happen to my family or members. This was going to be the hardest decision I would ever have to make but one thing was for sure, the girls would never know about this.

I hung the phone up and looked at my Uncle and Chase who were both waiting for me to say something. I placed my hands in my lap and sighed.

"My father wants me to come home and be Alpha Anderson Barren's Luna. He made a deal with him to merge our packs together but I refused and ran away, which is how I ended up here."

Chase ran his fingers through his hair and then rested his head in his hands. He looked pissed that I lied about why I was coming but I could tell he didn't know what to say about the other part. To be honest I didn't know what I was going to do but I knew it was my problem and no one else's. I may have dragged Kam and Mik along with me but now that they were safe and would be taken care of here, I wasn't going to bring them back home to be miserable.

I stood up to walk out when my Uncle grabbed my hand and stopped me.

"Em, I know your father means well, but I think you did the right thing. Being forced to do something you don't believe in is not a way to run a pack. You are welcome to stay here until you figure it out."

"Thank you Uncle Mark, but I have until the end of the year to decide or he will take over my pack by force."

Chase stood up so fast he knocked his chair back and onto the ground. "Like hell he will. No one attacks my family without retaliation. If he wants a fight then he will get one."

"Chase, no. I won't let that happen and I do not want to involve anyone in the mess that I created. I will not be his forced mate but I have to do something. But first, I need to talk to my real mate and don't try to stop me."

He huffed loudly then crossed his arms over his chest like a toddler. I knew he didn't like the fact that I was still hung up on getting to know him but if I didn't then I would be defying the moon goddess. At least if I knew he didn't want anything to do with me then I would find out but he had to talk to me sooner or later.

I sulked out the office feeling like the worst person in the world, not only did I potentially leave my pack open for a massacre but now I have a mate who is ruthless and wants nothing to do with me.

I walked outside just as the warriors were heading to the field and decided to take out some of my feelings on some loser I didn't know. I knew they would probably see me as an easy target but the surprise on their faces when I gave them a challenge would be worth it. I sat and watched for a while, waiting to see which one to approach, when I saw a young man fighting his way through his opponents. He had great form and some good tricks but I had already found his weak spot and I would use it to my advantage.

I walked down to the circle and straight to where he was standing, when I heard a few whistles from the side, he turned his head just as I approached and looked me up and down before saying "Hello baby. Can I help you with something?"

I gagged a little then plastered on my sweetest smile and said "I want to fight you."

He laughed along with the other three guys who were with him and said "Well I wouldn't want to hurt someone as sexy as you, so why don't we find someone a little less aggressive for you to fight."

I narrowed my eyes and said "What's wrong, afraid to get beat up by a girl?"

I knew that was all it would take to get him to agree, now to show these amateur's how it's really done.

Who else wants to punch Alpha Anderson in his nuts?

What do you think Ember is going to do about her pack?

I just love her Uncle and Chase, no matter what they will do what it takes to keep her and her pack safe, even if it means they will fight alongside her.
