Breaking Bonds

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Chapter Twenty - Seven

After resting for a few hours, I headed out to find some clean clothes. I hadn't bought anything with me and I refused to make a bank withdrawal. Doing that would alert my father as to my whereabouts, so I was left with only one other option. To steal some. Having never done anything like this before, I had no idea as to where to begin looking. Wandering around aimlessly, taking in my surroundings was peaceful before my serenity was interreupted by my wolf's growl.

'Look over there, to your left. Take those clothes and lets go get our mate.'

Shifting my gaze to where I had been instructed a clothesline entered my vision. Fearing that my wolf may take control from me again if I didn't follow his directions, I jumped the nearby fence and entered the yard I had been walking past moments ago.

Not wanting to get caught I raced over to the clothesline and took off a pair of dark denim jeans, white socks and a black muscle tee. They wouldn't normally be my first choice of clothing, but I was in no position to be picky. Looking around I spotted a line of shoes on what was a back patio, grabbing a pair of brown work boots that I thought would fit, I lept back over the fence and ran for two blocks. slowing down to a fast paced walk, I made my way back to the motel I had decided to stay at.

Luckily the motel was one of those ones that don't make you pay until after you have stayed, so I didn't need to worry about dad finding me until I sent him the bill. I wouldn't be sending the bill until I had found Roxy and was taking her back with me.

Showering wuickly and dressing in my newly acquired clothes, I slipped the room key into my pocket and made my way out. I was going to find Roxy, she was going to be mine and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

To say I was agitated would be an understatement. After hours of walking around trying to sniff out my mate I still hadn't found a strong enough scent to follow. The last scent I had picked up had been out the front of some kind of ice-cream parlour in the first hour of my search. I was beginning to think that maybe I was too late and she had already left town. Lefttown with that arsehole ex-friend Baydon. The dirty, sticking, mate-stealing jerk. Just the idea of that arse being anywhere near my grl made my blood boil.

My wolf growled in my mind, ' She is still here. Find her or I will.' I really didn't want to reliquish my control back to him, this was the longest I had been in control for weeks and I was planning on keeping it that way.

A breeze picked up and blew some leaves in my direction. Ducking my head to prevent the leaves from hitting my face, I couldn't help but lift it almost immediately. That scent, the same scent I had been searching for for hours, was now filling my nostrils, invading all my senses and setting both my wolf and I into a giddy excitement. This trail would be strong enough to follow and I would find my angel at the end of it.

My Roxy.

Moving my feet as quickly as I could, a new scent entered my nose causing me to freeze in my tracks. Baydon. That arse was still hanging around my mate, but I planned to put a stop to that. Once I claimed Roxy as my own I would banish him from the pack.

'No-one touches what belongs to us, he is definately dead if he has touched her.' I couldn't help but agree with my wolf on that one.

Picking up my pace again, I began jogging in the direction Roxy's scent was coming from. It was getting stronger so I knew I was closing in. I hadn't really been paying attention to my surroundings so when I came to a large, stone archway, I was more than a little surprised. Still, Roxy was in this direction so I continued on, actually paying attention to my surrounds this time. She had to be here, the scent was completely blanketing me. So close, she is so damn close.
