Derek's POV:
Lauren's limp form was cradled in my arms as I opened the passenger side door. I slid her in and buckled her in making sure she was in a conferrable position. I took the phone out of her back pocket and found her Uncle's cell number in the contacts. My truck broke down and Katy insisted on sending it to the mechanics, so I will spend the night over here. Tell everyone I'm sorry. Satisfied with the text and looking at the previous ones for inspiration I hit send. I put the phone in the cup holder and drove back to my house. This time I wasn't going to let anyone take Lauren away before she understood the mating bond, not even her.
When I pulled up to the gate Octavia was standing there waiting for me. "Where is Rune?" My words were harsh but not nearly as harsh as what I had planned for him.
"Is that any way to greet you loving sister? Rune left to go pick something up just like you wanted him to, but I don't get why he needed to be gone. And who's truck are you driving I've never seen it before."
"Octavia my intensions for Rune are not your concern and its Lauren's truck. And don't start with me on how I greet my sister when she doesn't know how to greet her Alpha." I walked back to the truck and Octavia got in the back seat.
"Derek when is she going to meet the pack, they need to know that you have found your mate. How do you think she's going to feel if she sees all the she-wolves trying to get in your bed?"
"They will find out when I feel they need to know and as for the females I will keep them at bay." I kept my eyes on the road and Octavia became quite. When I pulled up to the house I saw Troy sitting on the porch of the house and my fists immediately clenched around the steering wheel. "Octavia deal with Troy before I lose my temper."
"What the hell did he do to you Derek? He's our little brother and I know that he gets on your nerves but this is ridicules."
"Do what I tell you Octavia and don't worry about what he did, he's sixteen and can take care of himself." Octavia grumbled and got out of the car to quickly get Troy out of my path.
I got out of the truck and went around to get Lauren. She felt so fragile in my arms and at any moment she would shatter. I grabbed her phone from the cup holder and slid it into my pocket. I'd give it back to her only when I was with her because I didn't need her calling the cops on me. I walked into the house and headed up the stairs. "Derek what's going on?" My mother, Ashling, called before I could make it all the way up the stairs. When I turned around with Lauren in my arms her face went from caring to stern. "What have you done, are you out of your mind? You never kidnap your mate I told you that Derek, have you learned anything?"
"Mom I had no choice she was freaking out and if it wasn't for Rune she would have been here on her own accord."
"Derek what has your Uncle done, I know my brother and if that poor girl is afraid of him he's done something terrible. Rune has always had a thing for going overboard."
"He killed her parents, but I don't know much more than that. She didn't really talk about."
"Make him pay for it. Bring her up to your room we will make sure she is safe and I will explain everything to her when she wakes up." Ashling followed behind me up to my room. Once in I gently set Lauren on the bed. "We should make her more comfortable, she'll get really hot with all that on. I'll go get something out of your sister's room." Lauren had on a thick jacket and long jeans. I carefully pulled them off her not letting my hands linger on her skin to long knowing how she would feel about it. I took the gun she had hidden away and put it on safety. I looked back at Lauren and sighed remembering the last time I had seen this much of her. Ashling walked back in carrying a black tank top and a pair of purple shorts. She helped me get Lauren into them. Then we left the room and I locked it behind me so no one could mess with her while I was away.
"You know that she'll probably use her super cool ninja skills and jump out the window again." Octavia said as she came up the stairs.
"Octavia you're nineteen stop acting like your five and she isn't going out the window I set up an alarm system that will go off. If I'm not here I expect someone to go and keep her in my room."
"That's what you were doing after she ran off the first time, installing a freak'n security system in your room so she couldn't run away? Talk about obsessive, what is she a prisoner. And Derek you're twenty-two so act like it." My anger was starting to get the best of me but I kept it in not letting it show too much.
"Octavia was there a reason you came up here or are you just being a pain in the ass?" She glared at me along with Ashling. She didn't like cursing in her house and she knew I was Alpha, but even so I was her son first. "Sorry, mom but you know I'm right." She just shook her head and headed down stairs.
"Rune just pulled into the drive way but he's probably just getting to the house now." I heard a car door close and I quickly made it to the front porch. He went to the trunk of his silver Toyota Camry and pulled out large silver chains. I had the other item I needed in my pocket.
"I got what you needed Derek but I don't get why you needed them now. Wait, are you punishing someone from the pack?" I nodded my head slowly with a calm look on my face. Rune didn't suspect anything he even laughed. "What did the poor fool do?" My eyes moved into slits and I tilted my head slightly to the right at his comment.
"He killed a girl's parents and I'm not really sure what else but I will find out." Rune still didn't suspect that I was talking about him or if he did he didn't show it.
"Well if you're going to torture someone you better make them scream. That's when you know it's working and plus I love the sounds of screaming."
"Even if it's your screams you hear?" Rune's face changed to a very serious one and he became very still. He didn't run and even if he did I would catch him before he made it off the property.
"That's a very serious accusation and I suspect you have proof or is the mighty Alpha letting rumors get to him?" I jumped off the porch and walked closer to him.
"Do not question my abilities as Alpha, Rune. I have a witness that has told me it was you."
"What witness and wouldn't the cops have been searching if two people were found dead here?"
"Lauren," That was all I needed to say, Rune's eyes flashed red, his wolf eyes. His hands clenched into fists.
"You are going to trust that girl over your own flesh and blood. She is a lying b..."
"Hold your tongue Rune you will not speak about my mate like that and when I'm done with you there won't be any blood that we share." I slid a needle out of my pocket and injected it into Rune's neck. Wolfs bane was thrusted into his veins causing him to blackout. I grabbed the chains and dragged Rune into the basement. I chained Rune up on the wall and let him dangle there.
With all the anger I had built up inside me, I pulled my hand into a fist and swung hard hitting Rune strait in the jaw. The sound of contact would have made someone with a weak stomach queasy. Blood dripped from Rune's mouth as he slowly lifted his head. I expected him to have a look of pain on his face but instead he was laughing. "What's so funny?"
"Don't you get it, I'm the reason you found your mate. Without me she never would have moved here. You should be thanking me." I slammed my fist into his face causing it to cut the skin of his face. I turned around to a table that had many sharp objects laid across it. I took a small scalpel and it glistened in my hands.
"I'm going to ask you several questions and I want you to answer all of them. First question, what did you do to Lauren's parents?"
"I ripped them apart and when I was done with them you couldn't tell who was who."
"How did Lauren know it was you?"
"She came in the house after I turned back and had dressed. I would have killed her to but I didn't want my new closes getting bloody. I left the house and watched from the distance as the poor girl tried to put her family back together. I can still hear her screams as she came in the door. I have to hand it to her though I thought she would have fainted at all the blood."
"Why did you kill them?" I wished that he would stop answering so I could drag this scalpel across his chest. Rune stayed quiet giving me the chance I needed, I ripped open Rune's shirt and buried the scapula blade in his chest moving it down slowly. He tried to fight the scream but it slipped through his lips. I continued to slice at his skin with the blade and asked him the question again when I had felt satisfied with my work. "Why did you kill them?"
"There was something special about her so I wanted to break her. I couldn't figure out what it was but I could smell it on her. It caused me to almost shift twice. I wanted to see if a traumatic experience would show what it was but it didn't, nothing happened." I placed the scalpel on the table and grabbed a chief's knife. I plunged the knife into his side and twisted it making Rune scream in pain. His screams echoed in the basement and traveled up through the house.
