Chapter Four: Madison
Dallas's POV:
Two Days Later
I had past the sign "Now Entering Oregon" yesterday night. I had gotten up extra early because I wanted to make it to the west side in the middle of the day, because I had a lot I needed to get done. I pulled over and looked at my map and decided on a small town, just off the coast. It looked pretty small, and I had decided that I was going to call this little town my home.
Later that afternoon, I had pulled into the town called Madison and it was small and it looked perfect. I could see the beach from the town. I decided that I would stay at a hotel until I had found a place to live. I drove down the street and found this very cute bed and breakfast. I walked in and I noticed the lady sniff, so I sniffed and she had a weird smell to her, but it didn't smell as if she was a wolf so I guess I am fine. She was acting so weird with me, but she gave me a room, even though after I walked away I heard her pick up the phone and call someone telling them that she had a problem. I really hope that problem was not me.
I found my room and it was very beautiful, I even had a deck. I looked out over the deck and saw the most amazing little lagoon. I decided to go check the beach out first. I got changed into a pair of shorts and tank top and I headed out and was walking down the street and everyone was looking at me weird. I just smiled back, I really hope this is a nice little town and not one of those towns in the horror movies where you go in but never come out.
I walked down this path and made it to the lagoon. It was breathtaking, it was more beautiful than I had ever imagined. I took my flip flops off and began to walk around in the water. It felt amazing; I just wish Jensen could be here to share this experience with me. I heard a snap of a twig and I turned around and saw a boy about my age staring at me.
"This is a private beach, you should not be here."
I walked up to my shoes and put them back on. "I am sorry, I didn't know that."
"Are you just passing through?"
"Actually no, I am staying at the Madison Bed and Breakfast for a few days until I find a place to live."
"This town does not take kindly to strangers." That sounds like a line from a horror movie.
"Well my name is Dallas Harris; there now I am not a stranger."
I walked past him and I heard him sniff then growl. The next thing I know I was pushed up against a tree. What the hell; is this how they welcome guests to their town?
"You're a shifter?"
I was scared shitless, but I know that living on my own now, I had to be stronger and stand up for myself. I tilted my head up and looked him straight in the eyes.
"Yes I am, and from the smell you are sending off, you are a shifter as well."
"You're a rouge, and you have just entered the Salem Pack's territory."
Shit, "Well I now remember what I was supposed to do; I was supposed to make sure I didn't enter another pack's territory. I now realize I have made that mistake and if you let me go, I will leave and you will never see me again."
I was struggling trying to get free, but whoever he was, he was pretty strong. I didn't want to have to use my so called white wolf strength, and give away what I am.
"It's not that easy Princess, you see when a rouge enters our territory they are to be killed right on the spot."
I gulped, I didn't want to die, if I died all those packs will start a huge war and wipe out our race, but why did it matter to me, if I was to die I would be with the people that I love on the other side? Then again all my friends here on earth still would die as well, and probably die horrible deaths. Mind changed, I needed to stay alive.
"But I am a small girl, how can I be that much of a threat?"
"But the smell of you is weird, as if you are trying to hide your real scent. So I am going to take you to my Alpha's house and put you in holding cell and you will wait until he returns home from business."
"Please just let me go, I will cause no problems I promise."
He loosened his grip and grabbed my wrist and led me to a truck. I tried to fight to get free, but the next thing I knew he had stuck me with some kind of needle and then everything went black.
I woke up with a killer headache; I looked around and noticed I was in some type of cell. I guess this guy was right; I was in a holding cell. I have really got myself into a really bad situation. I know I was too far for the mind link to reach Zane and I realized that someone had taken my phone.
I just lied down, I heard someone coming down the stairs and I pretended to still be sleeping.
"Mason, how much did you give her? She should be awake by now."
"I only gave her the normal amount. There is something different about her Mary; she is wearing masking spray to hide her real scent."
"Well maybe she doesn't want people to know who she really is."
"Why would she want that? She is a shifter, it's not like we have royalty or anyone shifter that needs to hide who they really are?"
Ha wouldn't they like to know the truth.
"Well Mason, let's let her sleep and we will come down later."
I heard them leave and I sat up. How was I going to get myself out of this situation? I guess I will just have to go along with it and pray they don't kill me.
I must have been down there for hours and I heard footsteps again coming down the stairs and I noticed a very pretty blonde lady coming towards the cell.
"Well it is good to see you up. I was scared that you were never going to wake up."
I stayed quiet, I was really scared and I knew if I said the wrong thing I could be killed. She may seem nice, but with shifters you never really know how nice or how mean they are until you actually meet the person and their wolf.
"My name is Mary Samuels, and I am the mother of the Alpha of the pack. Mason who you met earlier is the Beta and quite full of himself."
"I need to use the rest room."
"I bet you do." She came over and opened the cell door and reached her hand to me and I took it.
"You're not going to run are you?"
I shook my head and she led me up the stairs and into a beautiful mansion. This must be the Alpha's mansion.
"Here you are sweetheart, I will be waiting right here for you."
I gave her a smile and walked into the little powder room. I checked myself out to make sure the contacts were still in the right place and pulled my hair up into a messy bun, I did my business, and washed my hands. I walked out and there stood Mason.
"How did you get out of your cell?"
"Um...um....."
"Mason she needed to use the restroom, and I am pretty sure she is starving, so I have made her some food, follow me!"
I followed her into a beautiful and huge kitchen; I took a seat at the bar, where she told me to sit. She put a plate of food in front of me. It smelled so good and I finished everything up in a few minutes. I really was hungry.
"So sweetie what is your name?"
"My name is Dallas Harris."
"You are very beautiful. So what brought you crossing into the Salem Pack?"
I knew I needed to tell her the truth. I saw Mason come in and stand next to Mary.
"I am from the Forest Green Pack, in Montana. And a little over week ago I lost my parents and my mate in a car accident and I needed some time to put myself back together. So I was given permission by my Alpha to leave the pack and find some place to finish up school and live for a little while. I really didn't mean to cross into your territory, I had no idea I was in another pack's territory."
"I am the Beta here and with Alpha Cale on business, it is my decision on what to do with you. I am going to ask you a question and I want the honest answer."
His Beta voice would not work on me because my father was the Beta of my pack. So I just nodded my head.
"Why are you wearing scent masking spray?"
A light bulb went off in my head. "My father was the Beta of my pack and I didn't want people knowing I was the daughter of a Beta and get kidnapped or something. So I used the spray to mask it."
"See Mason, there is nothing wrong with her. She needed to get away for a bit and I can tell she is sincere about accidently coming into our territory."
"That is not the only thing I noticed Mary, why does a shifter wear contacts? You are wearing brown contacts?"
Oh shit, "No I am not, I have brown eyes."
Mary came towards me and turned me around in the chair and looked into my eyes.
"Mason your right she is wearing contacts. So would you care to explain why you are wearing contacts?"
"Um. I have problems with my sight. I know that this is rare among shifters, but I really do have bad eyes, and I like brown eyes."
"You're lying I can smell it on you, and your heart beats faster when wolves lie. We have super good hearing remember. I am going to put you back down in the cell, where you will stay until Alpha Cale returns."
He grabbed my arm and pulled me down the stairs and then pushed me into the cell where I hit the bed really hard and he slammed and locked the door and left. I am so dead.
I lost track of how long I had been in the cell. I was taken out three times a day to use the restroom and shower and I had meals brought down into my cell. Zane must be going crazy not hearing from me.
I felt like I was being shaken, so I opened my eyes and saw Mary.
"Dallas, my son has returned home and requests your presents right now."
I sat up and followed Mary upstairs and into a huge office. The big chair was turned around and the Alpha must be sitting there. I could feel my heart beat increase, and my breathing became rapid. Mason came over and took my arm and planted me in a seat.
"So you must be the rouge that has been causing my Mother and my Beta a lot of stress."
I saw his chair turning around as if it was in slow motion. Sitting there was the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen. I thought Jensen was gorgeous and looked like a Greek God, but this guy looked even more like a Greek god. He had the most amazing glass blue eyes that I had ever seen, he had blonde shaggy hair, and had a very chiseled face, and I could tell that he had an amazing body.
Alpha Cale's POV:
I could smell her as soon as she entered my office. She smelt amazing; I could have jumped her as soon as she entered my office. Wow, this is the weirdest feeling; I have never had this feeling before. I heard her sit down and Mason came around to stand by me.
"So you must be the rouge that has been causing my Mother and Beta a lot of stress."
I turned around and there sitting in the chair was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was thin, with blonde curly hair and brown eyes.
"Mate....She is our Mate."
My wolf kept saying it over and over again. She didn't seem to feel anything, but then again we are pretty far apart.
"Cale she is wearing brown contacts and she told a lie about why she is wearing them."
"So Ms.....?"
"My name is Dallas Harris."
"So Dallas, tell me why you are wearing contacts?"
She looked really nervous, she flipped her hair and I noticed she did not have a mark on her, which was an amazing thing.
"Mother, please take Dallas here to the bathroom and have her take the contacts out. We will go from there."
I watched as my mate left my office.
Dallas's POV:
I was led into a bigger bathroom and Mary followed me inside.
"Take out the contacts."
I did as she said. I kept my eyes closed as I handed her the contacts.
"Dallas, open your eyes."
I opened my eyes and I saw the look on her face. Her facial expression came across as though she was scared and didn't know what to do.
"Oh my god, so the rumor is true."
"Please don't kill me."
She grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the office, I had my eyes closed and I felt myself being put into the chair again.
"Cale, we can look at this either in an amazing way or we are in serious trouble. Dallas, open your eyes and show them to Cale."
I didn't listen to her and Mason came over and held my head really tight with one hand and trying to pry my eyes open with his other. I swear he was trying to pull my actual eyeball out of my head.
"Mason, take your hands off of her. Please Dallas open your eyes."
I opened my eyes and Cale and Mason gasped and they were in shock. Cale left his chair and came over and knelt in front of me and put his hand on my knee. I felt shocks going through out my body, the way I had them with Jensen, but they seemed to be stronger than with Jensen. I thought I was going to pass out.
"He is our other Mate. He is gorgeous."
My wolf is back, she really hadn't died. I had to take a deep breath because my wolf was ready to jump his bones right then and there. I wonder if he felt the same way. I could never love someone else. I just couldn't.
"Dallas, be honest with me. What color is your wolf?"
My eyes began to water, this is the one secret I was never supposed to tell anyone and here I was about ready to tell these people I don't even know. How do I know that they are not going to use me for money or for a trade of some sort? I looked down at him.
"My wolf is pure white."
