Sold To The Alpha
A Love spoken Chapter 8

Dragging her suitcase down the stairs, Olivia couldn't hide her grin as she dropped her bag by the door and went into the living room to say goodbye to her parents.

Carmen was sat on the sofa wringing her hands, Leo pacing up and down the living room carpet anxiously. They both looked up as Olivia entered the room, the young woman trying to suppress her excitement as she took in her parents worried expressions. Going over to her mother, she sat down next to her, pulling the older she wolf into a hug, 'I'm going to be fine Ma, I have three of Silver Cross' strongest warriors with me, I could only be safer if Vaya was here' she added with a grin causing Carmen to chuckle despite her worry.

'You'll ring us as soon as you get there so we know you are OK?' Carmen fussed, trying to hitch a smile onto her face.

'Of course Ma, that is the very first thing on my list of things to do' Olivia replied sincerely, 'but we are literally going to just be having some girl time with Gabriella, swimming in the new pool that Isabella had built, training and chatting about stupid stuff. Carmen nodded, 'I know baby girl, but we've never had you leave us, I'm just being silly' she added with a small smile.

'You are being my Ma, if you didn't worry I'd think you didn't love me as much as you do' Olivia replied with a giggle.

Leo drooped down next to them, pulling his daughter into a hug of his own, 'we love you more than anything' he muttered gruffly.

'I know dad, and I love you both so so much and I promise I'm not going to put myself into danger, but I need to start looking after myself, trust that you taught me well enough to kick some a*s if I need too' Olivia replied which made her parents laugh. 'We know sweetie, we just can't help but worry' Leo replied as he stood up and held his hands out to help the two women to their feet.

Heading back to the door, Olivia smiled as she realised that her parents were behind her, still not ready to say goodbye to her.

Opening the front door, she placed her hand on to the handle of her suitcase as her mother sniffled behind her, her father giving in and pulling her in for a final hug, 'take care of yourself, if you need us you ring us immediately, no matter how small the problem, even if you think you might be making to much of something, you ring us' he growled as he held her close to him.

'I'll be fine dad' Olivia replied, her voice muffled by the broad warrior's shoulder. Carefully disentangling herself from him she gave her mother an extra hug before wiping her eyes in annoyance, laughing at the three of them. 'I'm only going for a few days, you are acting like I'm leaving for good' she scolded her parents gently as Carmen smiled through her damp eyes.

Straightening herself up the older she wolf gave her daughter a wide grin, 'go!' she ordered sternly, 'go have fun with the girls and we will see you next week!

Giving them both a wave, the twenty five year old she wolf set off down the path and headed toward the pack house where the Silver Cross warriors and Sierra were waiting for her.

Arriving a few minutes later at the steps, she found the Alpha, Luna and the Silver cross pack members stood talking, Sierra nowhere to be seen. Looking around she finally spotted her friend running toward them, skidding to a halt with rushed mumbled apologies as she bowed to the leaders in respect.

'What happened?' Olivia asked with a grin at the younger she wolf's flushed face.

Rolling her eyes, Sierra sighed heavily, 'my dad, he wouldn't let me go, my mother had to actually prise him off me in the end' she grumbled though a sad smile played around her lips.

'Yeah, my parents had a hard time too, and I'm only going for a few days, I can't imagine how Graham is dealing with his precious baby girl leaving for good' Olivia replied with a smile.

Landen walked over to the pair, his hand reaching for Sierra's as she took it shyly, smiling up at the warrior, her eyes lovestruck as Olivia giggled.

'what?' Sierra mumbled, looking at the floor with embarrassment

'You two are just so cute' Olivia replied, nudging her friend's shoulder.

'He's just so damn sexy' Sierra whispered, in a low voice in her friend's ear, trying to keep her words from her mate.

'With an incredibly grabbable a*s, or so I have been told' Landen joined in, smirking as Sierra blushed deeply, realising he had heard her.

'Are we all ready to go?' came Isabella's voice, breaking into the trio's conversation.

'Yes godmother' Sierra replied with a grin at the older she wolf.

Nodding with a smile, Isabella and Halle led the way toward the barrier, Landen taking Sierra's suitcase from her, lifting it in his strong grip easily, Daniel appearing beside Olivia and doing the same with a smile before jogging slightly to fall into step beside Halle's mate, so the pair could continue their earlier conversation.

Olivia and Sierra exchanged a glance, the pair giggling as Landen looked at them confused, 'we're just excited to be going to Silver Cross' Olivia said quickly, 'we are also keen to see Gabriella again as it's been a few years!

Landen nodded with a smile as he pulled his mate closer to him, 'I'm just happy that I get to take my mate home with me' he rumbled as Sierra gave a small whimper.

Reaching the barrier, Halle and Isabella hugged each other tightly as the two older werewolves shook hands before Isabella helped her guards through the boundary before she took Daniel's hand, Landen holding Sierra's and Olivia on her own, the five stepping through in a line, Olivia unable to stop herself from taking a look behind her and giving a sad smile at the empty scenery that covered her home.

Heading down the mountain, they reached the bottom, circling the human village and making their way into the forest, two of the largest warriors stripping quickly and standing still as both of the girl's luggage was tied to their strong backs before the rest of the group removed their clothes and shifted into their wolves.

Olivia stretched out happily, her chocolate brown wolf was sleek and strong, her fur only broken by a white mark on her thigh that looked like a crescent moon, that matched a birthmark that she had on her thigh in her human form.

Glancing around, she realised that two warriors had already positioned themselves either side of her and a further two were behind her, Isabella's large white wolf was studying her warriors until she was happy with their protection of the young she wolf. Sierra's auburn coloured wolf was next to a huge blonde wolf that Olivia assumed was Landen, the large male standing possessively near to her, his eyes scanning the surrounding greenery for any danger that might threaten his mate. Isabella gave a low rumble, drawing everyone's attention before she shot off into the woods, leading the pack toward the edge of the forest and their awaiting vehicles.

Smiling wolfishly, Olivia thundered in the middle of her guards, enjoying the freedom of the wind through her fur, fighting the temptation to allow a howl of joy to rip from her chest. Her paws dug into the dirt underneath her feet, trees whipping past her as she raced along with the pack warriors.

Reaching the edge of the trees, the group quickly shifted into the human forms, dressing before unstrapping the suitcases and waiting for the last two warriors to shift and change.

Heading over to the diner, they made a beeline straight to the SUV's, everyone scrambling into the cars, Sierra and Olivia being bundled into the back of a car with Landen, two bulking warriors taking the front seats, starting the truck and pulling out to follow behind the lead car that held Isabella, Daniel and her guards.

As the vehicles sped down the roads, heading toward the distant territory of Silver Cross, Olivia stared out of the window, drinking in the scenery that was streaking past her window. A small part of her heart was pained at leaving her parents who she knew would worry constantly until she returned, but a huge part of her was excited to finally be leaving the safety of the barrier, maybe she wouldn't meet her mate at Silver Cross but at least, for the first time, she was taking a step toward looking for him.

Leaning back against her seat, Olivia closed her eyes, a smile playing around her lips as she allowed herself to fall into slumber, excited to soon be spending time with her friends.
