The pack was called to a meeting, Chloe and Damien were not there and I didn't want them there. Damien was having a hard enough time trying to keep Chloe in line and keep her calm, he didn't need her to be surrounded by werewolves.
"Alpha, it's time." I stood up and addressed the pack, them all watching me wondering about this strange human. How was I going to tell them this?
"Beta Damien has found his mate." There were some shocked looks but most of the pack was cheering, hollering, being over all excited for Damien.
"He has found his mate in a human. She is here and he had gone into the city to get her." The pack suddenly feel silent and all eyes were on me. They were all watching me, waiting for me to speak again.
"Alpha, did he talk to the council or you? What does this mean for us? Are we in danger?" Once one question was raised other questions were asked until it became this muddles sound of pack members asking questions, wondering what would happen.
"Enough!" I raised my voice silencing every thought and ever whisper. It became quiet enough that you could only hear the sound of breathing.
"He did not talk to the council or myself. He will be punished for what he has done and it will affect the pack but I will make sure it is minimal. She will not be introduced until I and Damien think it is the right time to introduce her. You will not try and meet her, you will not bother Damien to meet her and you will go about your duties and responsibilities like it is any other day." I stopped talking and heard the low rumble of murmurs fill the hall. They were all talking amongst each other, keeping their conversations low, but I could hear what they were saying.
"Alpha, what will we do about the humans? What if they come here looking for her? What if they come close?" I looked at the pack, their worried faces. We had never been close to the humans, we made sure they didn't know about us and we made sure to stay away, with Damien bringing this girl here it jeopardized everything we had worked for.
"I will deal with that. You go about your everyday business. Thank you." I stepped back and nodded my head and once I was done speaking for good, I turned and left the hall.
I made my way back to the house, intent on finding out how Damien found her, where he found her and why exactly he thought he would lose her in the city. Then I would find out how she was doing accepting all of this information.
I walked into the house, ignoring any pack members that hadn't been able to go to the meeting and made my way upstairs to his room. I knocked on the door once and when I didn't hear him coming to the door, I opened it and walked in.
"Damien!" I heard some movements coming from the bathroom and the door opened, Chloe running out. She tried to make her way to the door, but I grabbed her waist and stopped her. She had a red face, her eyes were puffy and her nose was running.
"Chloe dammit! You can't run off like that!" Damien grabbed Chloe's wrist and she started kicking and screaming.
"Let me go! I want to go back to my family please!" She pulled away from me and started to attack Damien, kicking at his shins, trying to hit him. He stood there with a pissed off look on his face, while his hand was holding one wrist and the other was blocking her blows.
"Nice work Damien." I scoffed and rolled my eyes and sat on his bed watching him trying to control his mate.
"You're not going anywhere!" Damien grabbed both her wrists and stared Chloe down. She was still crying and she was shaking, terrified of him.
"Let me go back to my family please! I miss them!" Damien shook his head and I watched him. He was getting irritated, his body was rigid and his eyes were slowly turning yellow.
"I said no!" I could heard his bones cracking and I stood up, ready to intervene.
"Screw you!" Chloe raised her leg and kicked him in the nuts. Damien let her go and he fell to his knees, covering his crotch with both hands. Chloe stood there, shocked by what she had done and then she looked over at me. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was open, like she couldn't understand that she had just kicked a werewolf in his nuts.
"Bravo Damien, way to take care of her." I clapped and stood up, walking over to him. His eyes were watering and he was swearing under his breath.
"Next time why don't you just give her some space?" I bent down and pat his shoulder and then looked to Chloe, if she wanted to run now would be the good time to run before he got up.
"I…I didn't…" She stuttered and opened and closed her mouth a few times before she closed it and looked at him.
"Dammit Chloe." He grunted and slowly stood up, still in pain by the way he stood up and snakingly took a breath.
"Fuck that hurt." He grunted again and shifted his weight from one foot to the other. I ignored Damien for a moment and turned my attention to Chloe.
"I know that you're upset and you want to go home, but you can't. I'm sorry but that is not happening. We will not hurt you and we will not kill you or rape you if that is what you're thinking. We will treat you with the upmost respect and if you need anything, or if Damien is being a little prick to you, come find me and I will deal with him." I looked from Chloe to Damien and he was giving me a glare before he stared at Chloe.
"Why can't I go home?" I pat Damien on the back and started to make my exit.
"That's all on him. He needs to explain it to you. Damien once you're done I will see you in my office." I walked out of the room, leaving them to talk it out. I walked over to my room and closed the door once I was in.
I knew how to make it look like Chloe was dead, I knew what to do in order to make everyone think she was long gone. I knew what I had to for my pack to make sure no one would come looking for her.

It has been 3 weeks since Chloe was gone and nothing had been the same. Chloe was my best friend and she was suddenly torn from my life, her parent's life, and her friend's lives. Everyone that was close to her was mourning the hole that she had filled. We were all missing the bubbly Chloe who rarely had a day where she wasn't smiling. Chloe who was always happy to see you and was always trying to cheer you up if you were down. We all missed that.
"One large black coffee two creams two sugars." I set the coffee on the counter and the customer took it, giving me a thank you. I smiled and grabbed a spray bottle and started wiping down the counter, cleaning any leftover sugar and cream off. I heard the bell on the door opening and closing and just figured that it was the same customer leaving.
"Excuse me?" I looked up and saw a man standing on the other side of the counter, looking at me. I apologized and walked over to the register, standing in front of it.
"Hi. Sorry about that. What can I get you?" I smiled at him and looked him over while he was looking at the menu board. He was tall and big, over 6ft and he had broad shoulders, followed by muscular biceps. He looked like a walking talking brick wall, and the rest of him was just as big.
"I need two large back coffees, one with 3 cream 3 sugars and the other one black." I nodded and rang it into the till and as he paid, I started getting his order ready.
"Thank you, Grace." I turned on my heel and stared at him, feeling a shiver run down my spine. How the hell did he know my name?
"Your nametag." I looked down and felt stupid, of course my name tag. I just felt so jumpy since Chloe had left, everything made me jump.
"Right. Sorry. Little jumpy." I laughed slightly and finished making his coffees. I watched him while I was pouring and looked over his facial features.
He was playing on his phone but I still got a good look at him. He had an almost square jaw, covered with a beard. He had a wider nose, but it didn't look off on his face, and his eyes were a beautiful grey/blue. He was the hottest guy I had seen lately and he made me nervous just with his presence. He had power exuding off of him.
"There you go. Two large coffee." I set the coffees on the counter and he looked up at me, giving me a crooked smile.
"Thanks Grace." I blushed when he set his blue/grey eyes on me. It was like he was looking into my soul.
"You're welcome." I blushed and turned around keeping myself busy with cleaning. My face was red and hot and I felt myself grinning. For a moment I forgot about Chloe missing. I was just a normal teenager who just met the hottest guy ever.
