Gamma’s Destined Mate.
Chapter 51

Adella Arcos - POV

I woke up to the sound of excited chatter right outside my room, and when I turned around and glanced outside, I realized that the sun had already come out. Getting up from bed, I stretched my muscles, feeling fresh and energized. After taking a quick shower and changing my clothes, I picked up my suitcase and made my way downstairs. “Hello, did you sleep well?” the same lady who was there last night greeted me with a warm smile on her face.

“Yes, thank you so much for the food you brought up last night,” I told her, and she nodded her head.

“I just did what I felt like. Anyway, are you planning to leave?” she asked me, and I nodded my head.

“I am hoping to travel as far as possible from here,” I told her and took out my purse, ready to pay the rest of the money.

“Oh, well, hope you have a safe journey then,” she said while she quickly got my bill ready. After paying her the money, I waved her goodbye before I walked out of there. After loading my suitcase in the car, I began my journey again. Just like yesterday, I managed to drive for five more hours when the forests started to slowly expand into a small town and then to a fully operational city.

“I think this would be the perfect place to start our life anew,” I commented.

“You are right,” Rachel said. I parked my car at the side of the road and started browsing for any vacant apartment that I could move into right now. After shortlisting a few apartments, I began to visit those places.

“Can we go and replace shelter in the nearby pack?” Rachel asked me for the fourth time when the second house we visited was also crossed out of our list. I know Rachel must be feeling miserable right now because wolves are always known to stay in packs, and when they distance themselves from the rest of the werewolves, they start to feel lonely or depressed.

“I know what you must be going through, Rachel. But we will first replace a job in here, and a place to live, and then we will explore the packs again?” I asked her, and even though she wanted to argue, she remained quiet. I felt my heart ache at her behavior. She was the only part of me who was jovial and would always cheer me up, but after getting to what Jose did to us, she has been awfully quiet.

I drove to the third and last apartment on my list, which was quite far from the hustle and bustle of the city but close to the green that my Wolf and I love the most. I parked my car on the side of the road and walked towards the entrance. It was a small three-floor house, and the advertisement stated that each floor only had two apartments.

I rang the bell and stepped back, waiting for someone to open the door for me. “Who is it?” a very old man, probably in his sixties, opened the door.

“Hello Sir, I saw your advertisement on the web, and I am here to see if I can move into your one-bedroom apartment,” I told him politely. He looked at me from top to bottom before he opened the door wider for me to enter.

“It's not a big space, but it would be sufficient for two.” the old man started explaining as we climbed upstairs. “Are you married?”

“Um, no sir.”

“Do you have a job?”

“I am going to look for one now.”

“Do you have friends who will be visiting you often?” he asked me, and this time, his eyes narrowed down at me.

Well, Summer might visit me later, but I don't think that would be often.

“No, Sir,” I replied, and he nodded his head. When we reached the first floor, he opened the first door near the staircase and walked inside and I followed him. It was a small apartment as he said. With a living room and an open-plan kitchen while there was a small hallway leading to one bedroom and one common bathroom.

“You have a balcony overlooking the forest outside. Also, don't go to that forest at night since a lot of wolves are roaming around,” he warned me, and this made me wonder if they were rogues. “Don't throw your litter down that balcony, and don't smoke or drink in the hallways outside,” he said when he turned around to face me. “I don't like it,” he said with a serious tone, and I nodded my head. “When are you planning to move in?”

“Can I move in now?” I asked him, and for a second he eyed me suspiciously, but then he nodded his head. After discussing the rest of the agreement and payment things, the old man left the house, giving me a key to my new apartment as well as the front door.

I finally got a place of my own.

I walked out onto the balcony and just stood there looking out at the greenery. The sun was slowly setting on the horizon, and for the first time in these twenty-four hours, I felt like I was at peace, like all my problems were very far away.

Gamma Jose Gomez - POV

I was driving past my pack when I got a call. “Hello.”

“Jose, I went through the universal database, but her name is not to be found. It only stated that she had left the Blue Moon pack.

“Does that mean she is a rogue right now?”

“I believe so, and this only makes it harder for us to replace her,” he said.

“Is there any other way we can replace her?” I asked him.

“If we know her license plate number, maybe I can replace its location.”

“Only Summer would know that information, and she will never hand it over to me,” I said in a depressed tone.

How am I going to replace her now?
