Braxton's POV

_____


"Hello?" I answered angrily.

I silently cursed whoever in the hell was calling me right at this moment.

"Alpha, I am calling because we have had a couple pack members run away."

I listened impatiently, I shouldn't have to deal with runaways, if pack members wanted to run away they are fully allowed to do so, but of course they would be marked as a rogue.

"This should be something that you can handle on your own Ryder."

"Under normal circumstances I could Alpha, but the runaways are Vance and Elise."

Now I paid a little more attention. "How long have they been gone?" I asked, but it was in that precise moment that my gorgeous temptress of a mate decided to toy with my lust for her. I could hear things being said on the other line of the phone but my full attention was on the daring moves my sexy girlfriend was pulling at the moment.

"She's Ready!" My wolf howled eagerly, we both knew our mate wanted us almost as bad as we wanted her, and soon the mating would happen, and once she becomes marked she will be my Luna.

"Braxton!"

I snapped out of it, "yes, send my cousin to the lake house, I'm leaving now."

I hung up and regretfully began readying myself to leave Harper, it seriously should be a crime to leave a girl as sexy and as aroused as Harper is, alone.

Then another thought occurred to me...soon she wouldn't be all alone, no...soon she would be here with another male, my wolf began to stir with worry as my own jealousy grew.

I knew it was Patrick, he's my cousin...but the jealousy was still there.

I filled her in on my actions and then she requested that Elise bring her pajamas, Harper had assumed that when I said my cousin I meant Elise. I know the girls are best friends and I couldn't find it in myself to tell her of the things I had just heard.

Then again I know Elise, and Ellie wouldn't just run away, something HAS to be up...and for Harper to be out of the know as well really wasn't sitting well with me now.

I informed her that Patrick would be coming and left shortly after, as I drove away from the lake house I couldn't help but wonder what was up with Elise and Vance, I hoped with everything nothing bad was happening to them.

Still I was comforted knowing that they were together, neither would allow anything to happen to the other.

All I knew was that I would find them tonight, because I promised my mate I would return to her before she wakes up in the morning.

-Harper's POV-

Fully dressed I went downstairs to find something to eat, I found a fully stocked kitchen and smiled. Of course my Braxton would have everything in order for our weekend trip, but I couldn't help but wonder what was so important that it couldn't wait until we got back on Monday, or even at least until the morning?

I pulled out some chicken that Braxton must've set to the side, I smiled as I realized he had intended to cook dinner for us otherwise the chicken would've been placed in the freezer.

I began to grill the chicken in a pan, unthinkingly I made the entire pack of chicken, perhaps I was stressed over not knowing what was going on.

Just as I finished cooking a loud knock sounded on the front door pulling me from the kitchen, I watched as the lock turned and in walked Patrick.
