Sold To The Alpha
Chapter 28

As a tear rolled down his cheek, Marcus replied, 'Dear Dad, I have left the pack house to be with David you hoped I would replace in a mate. We are expecting a child daddy, and I won't get rid of it. I'm afraid if I have talked David into running away with me, he will look after us, I have put everything in place to protect my family from harm. Don't try to replace us, you won't be able too, Love your princess, Annalise' 'I searched for her, despite what the letter said, I had scouts comb as far as they could travel, looking

I can't do that daddy, I just can't, it would kill me, so

Once she shifte Charity couldn't believe what was being said, she had so many questions but didn't want to interrupt Marcus stared unseeingly at the wall, 'Roughly four months ago I awoke to a scent, I knew it, it was my scent and snuck into the forest trying to pinpoint which one you were, but as the witch had warned m grand daughters true identity.

ise, I could sense her but I knew she was gone so it had to be you' he said looking at Charity, 'I tracked the scent to the Silver Cross territory, I disguised my ldn't zero in on you. I returned home and sent two of my best trackers to watch the pack and report back to me any information they discovered about my

As he was patrolling part of the forest, watching for signs a scent hit him, the scent of a Rogue. Fearing he would be discovered he made his way over to where the Rogue was hidden but was too late to stop him grabbing a young girl who was playing in the clearing. She screamed and fought him with everything she had, my tracker was about to help her when a young blonde-haired woman ran through the trees and shouted at the youngster to run as she lunged at the intruder. They fought for what seemed an eternity before the Rogue shifted and launched at her, the young girl then shifted into a beautiful white wolf before his eyes. My tracker knew he had found his target but hearing the pack warriors running toward the pair he had to leave before being discovered. As he left he heard the pack calling the name Charity, he returned to me and relayed what he had learnt, I could scent my bloodline strongly before he even made it back to our territory so I already knew my grand daughter had shifted but now I had her name and a description,' looking at Charity with love in his eyes he said,' I just needed to get to you before your first heat, to protect you from the same fate as your mother and grandmother' he concluded.

s, he recognised the future Alpha and moved closer to see if he could hear anything being said about a White Wolf or a female with unexpected powers. He n, as he crouched down among the foliage he watched her scan the trees before going back to her conversation dismissing him. Realising he was now in y!

'I sent my warriors to ask for you to be returned to me but as we had already gathered that the future Alpha was your mate, I knew the answer would be no before I asked, as we Alphas are notoriously protective of our mates, but I had to at least try. When I got rejected I had no choice but to try and take you by force, I would do anything to protect you from our family's curse, you are the last member of my family, the heir to my pack' he said kindly.

As Charity looked like she was about to faint, he gripped her hand tightly, 'it is why you could force not only the Silver Cross pack to yield as their future Luna but also the Red Moon pack, the Alphas' and the Luna as you are a Future Alpha and white wolf, one of the most powerful of our kind.

'I apologise to Alpha Alistair and the Silver Cross pack for attacking them, I hope they understand that my intentions were always to protect you not to bring harm to their members' he said sadly, 'At least I got to you in time though' he said hopefully.

Charity slowly pulled her hand away as she raised them both to her face covering her eyes, a small sob escaped from her lips as she shook her head, 'No' she whispered, 'You are too late, I went into heat over a week ago' and she slowly lifted her hair from her neck to show her mating mark to the room.

The room fell eerily quiet as all eyes fell upon Charity's neck before swivelling to Aaron who glared around him defiantly.
