Chapter Twenty-eight: Trouble with the Law.

Nala POV

It's been six months since I moved in with the guys. Looking in the mirror I see a different personnow, her blue eyes are full of life, her hair is shiny and healthy, her cheek no longer hollow courtesyof Jace and his cooking, she even got a tan from playing in the sun. I was happy, finally letting allmy guard down, these guys they're not my aunt and uncle. They're not like my parents who had togo and die on me, I know I was young back then but I knew something wrong was going to happen.I begged them no to go but it was no use they promised to come back but they never did.

They won't kick me out to make a place for their child, they won't promise and break their promise,they are different.

They still don't know how I ended up on my own, how the promises were broken more than once.First my parent then my aunt and uncle who promised to love me like their own until their real babycame and I were kicked out to the street, promises are just words that can be broken.

But right now I'm bored boredd boredddd boredddddd...

Wandering through the house trying to replace someone to keep me company I'm met with an emptyhouse, it's a rare scene but apparently they are all busy.

Sending a quick msg to Christian so I won't be in trouble later. "bored. Going out.”

During my stay here, I did make friends outside the house whenever I went out for walks or wentwith Daddy Stefan to work. Lily is one of her first and best friends. Walking toward the clearancewhere most of the pack homes are I found lily sitting outside with a book in hand.

"Hey, I'm bored want to do something,” I ask.

"Sorry girl I have an exam and need to study” Lily my nerd friend reply.

I'm back to wandering around, it's boring around here without one of the guys to keep mecompany or lily. I'm just used to having people around me all the time being alone is boring, I'vehad enough of alone time before the guys came into my life.

I'm walking back toward the main house, maybe I can replace something to do there. Before walkinginto the house the garage catches my attention and well I got an idea.

If the guys aren't around to take me out I'll take myself out.

Skipping toward the garage I take a look at what I have available. There's the guy's trucks, SUVs, thetrucks are too high for me to even climb, and driving an SUV isn't that fun.

But wait what do we have here? Oh my god, the most beautiful car ever.

I run toward the key rack praying to replace the key I need and I scream "bingooo” when my wishes aregranted and I replace them.

I'm careful when driving out of the garage, I've been having driving lessons with Kane but I didn'thave a license yet. He said I wasn't ready yet and don't get me to start about parking or evenreverse driving. I'm great at driving forward.

Driving toward the gates I'm stopped by a guard. They are always there to keep everyone else outbut also to make sure younger wolves like me don't skip out of the pack territory in a “borrowed”car.

Okay, all you can do this, just be confident. I coach myself, if I mess this up Christian would be calledand god helps my bum then.

The guard comes closer to my window, here goes everything.

"Going somewhere little miss," he asks me

"Yeah Christian said I can go for a ride,” I say emphasizing the alpha name

Please, don't call and check please don't call and check.

"I just need to do a quick check-in"

Ohh no busted

"I'm sure my daddies won't appreciate their princess being questioned,” I say with an annoyed huffThe guard is looking at me funny now, yeah the pack knows who I am I was introduced to them andthey all know who I belong to. And nobody wants to mess with seven angry alphas. Well except meif I get caught. You are not going to get caught Nala! I scold myself.

The guard nod and open the gate for me.

Yey freedom.

I keep on driving slowly till I reach the main road, and I hit the accelerator.

Ever since I became a wolf I fell in love with speed, running, or driving it feels so good.

Then blue and red lights are following me and I hear a police siren. If I'm caught I'm dead so insteadof slowing down I'm going even faster trying to get rid of the annoying cop.

And that's how I ended up being followed by three cars on a high-speed chase. Yeah, I'm dead butat least it was fun while it lasted.

Giving up when I see the intersection ahead, I start to slow down till I stop completely. The secondthe car stopped a cop was at my door dragging me out and putting handcuffs on me. Setting meon the back seat of his car and driving me toward town. By the time we arrive at the station myadrenaline rush is finally coming to an end and I notice I'm handcuffed and being dragged and thetears began. I'm scared I don't want to go to jail.

I'm in full tear mode now, I don't know what to do or who to call till I hear a familiar voice.

"Nala what the fuck are you doing here?? And why is she in handcuffs"

"She's the one we've been chasing for the last forty minutes sheriff" the officer who's still holdingme says.

Sheriff. Ohh, Ryland. I do a happy dance in my head until I saw the dark look he's giving me. Nope, Ithink I'm going to stay with these two nice officers.

"Take the handcuffs off her and send her to my office, I'll deal with her and with the paperwork,"Ryland tells his officers.

I shake my head no I want to go to jail, jail seems so safe compared to Ryland right now.

Ryland left me waiting in his office for twenty minutes, twenty minutes of me thinking about howhe's going to kill me.

"Care to explain baby girl what were you doing outside with that car?" he starts

"Uh... was...b-bored and went for a ride" I reply

"Really and are you allowed to go on rides alone Nala? He asks raising his eyebrow at me.

He used my name, damn it I'm dead

I shrug and tell him that I don't know

"Then add it to your rules no driving alone,” he says in an annoyed tone

"Okay...but you can't punish me for it I didn't know" I reply. Yeah, I'm trying my best.

"Really? I can't? Well, but I can certainly punish you for driving outside pack territory without alicense. I can punish you for making my officer chase you. I can punish you for driving at a speed of200km/h!t"

Now he’s plain on yelling at me

"You could crash or die!!! Is that what you want??"

I don't answer him I'm too busy crying.

" save your tears and answer me. Was that an acceptable behavior?”

I shake my head no

"Good, then we are on the same page. Now stand up, bend over my desk, and put your pretty assup"

I pale and look at him “UH-UH please no punishment” I try pleading to no use.

I even try running out but Ryland catch me and put me in position bent over his desk with my bumon the show, I try my best to lower myself and hide from his offending hands. I only received a realspanking from Christian but the other guys would pop me on the bum sometimes. I know this willhurt.

"What if someone hears me," I ask giving up on trying to get away, I know I deserve whatever I'mgoing to get.

"My office is soundproof now up!" he says with authority which scares me.

And I'm up in position.

"Spread your legs, ass higher up”

I oblige and close my eyes. My only warning was the sound of something cutting in the air and thena screeching pain. I'm barely registering what happened when another blow land on my othercheek. Again and again, Ryland uses his belt to blister my ass, it hurt as much as Christian hand andmaybe a little worst.

I'm a crying hot mess "please please I'll never do it again....please daddy stopped".

I hear the thud of the belt hitting the floor and I'm picked up and placed next to his chest where Icry it off. After I'm my wailing turns to sniffle Ryland pushes my hair away from my face.

"I'm sorry I was too hard on you, but my first mate she died in a car accident. She wasn't even goingfast but the other guy he was drunk and driving. Her car rolled down a cliff even with our wolfhealing she died in the scene her body was crushed like a bug. I never want you to drive that fast ordrunk. Okay baby I'm sorry I was too hard on you I'm sorry”

Ryland finishes his story and kisses my face, neck while holding me close making sure I'm here.
