I leaned against the building after running around it twenty times. Sweat dripped down my face and my back, my breathing coming out in pants while I tried to get calm my heartbeat. My brown hair clung to my face, causing me to grimace and move a hand through it. "So much for having a shower." I leaned against the wall and closed my eyes with a sigh. My ears perked up, and I could hear some shouting coming from inside the warehouse.

The whole building shuddered when someone slammed the door shut, and I could smell the pine and tiger lily scent of my mate. "That your son in there?" he asked. "What type-"

"If you are talking about that five year old kid, then no he is not my kid, biologically," I said, interrupting him. I opened my eyes and stared into his blue eyes that swam with emotions. "He and his sister are the youngest of the six of us."

"And you would've gotten pregnant with that boy?"

I snorted and rolled my eyes, hating that he was assuming something that wasn't true. "I cannot get pregnant," I replied, holding my hand up so I could explain when he was about to talk. "Not unless my mate marks me and mates with me."

He leaned against the wall and sighed. "Too bad that I am mates with a-"

I sent him a nasty glare and growled, shutting him up. "Finish that sentence, I dare you," I seethed. I moved a hand through my hair and huffed, curbing my anger. "All you men are the same. You want to have sex with someone else and not care what the female says, but when the female has sex, they get a hissy fit. I mean, they haven't met each other yet, and all they want is to have a shy virgin that submits. And, why the hell are you looking at me with a look that seems shocked and guilty?" I gave him a look, trying to read him.

"I..." he cleared his throat and moved a hand through his hair. He licked his lips, and my gaze instantly went to his lips. He cleared his throat again, causing me to look back up into his eyes and raise an eyebrow. I could see that there was a slight tint to his skin and couldn't help but smirk a bit. "I have not had sex with anyone..."

Guilt and fear ran through my body, and Payton couldn't help but snort, amused, when I felt like this. However, a bit was her felt this way as well, because she was feeling a bit of fear that he would reject us.

I sighed and shook my head. "Even if I didn't have sex with those people, I still wouldn't be pure." I shook my head again as memories tried to cloud through my mind and send me into an unlucky panic attack.

"And why not?" my mate asked. He glared at me, and I could feel his Alpha powers starting to show.

"Because," I replied in all seriousness. I turned to look at him. "The man that I have to call father used me for his own personal gains and took something that I couldn't cherish and give to the person I call my mate." WIth that, I walked away from him and waited for the rest of the outcasts to band together.

My heart broke a bit, because I wanted to have the time of my life with my mate. However, it was all thanks to my daddy that I couldn't have that time.

Six pairs of eyes stared at me, waiting for me to give the command. My back was to them while I watched the automatic owl, waiting for the signal to that the sender was almost at the at the pick up station. My brown eyes flickered over the bird while I waited, my whole body tense with my arms behind my back.

The automatic bird squawked and whistled, letting me that it was time to go and rescue the next person. It's eyes did that crazy thing, as if zeroing on my target and how the best way to get there before it started to lift off.

I turned to look at the group and saw that my mate and his Beta watching us. "You know the drill. Kids go with Lola and Ryan. Rest circle around them." I looked at Katie and Thomas. "Raha la verpa." I spoke in an ancient tongue that Jerecho had taught me and Katie all those years ago. When a member joins our group, then they are instantly able to know the language that we share. Unlike other packs, when a member leaves the group, they are still able to connect with the members of this small pack. That was because we connect with a language and so forth.

Katie and Thomas nodded their heads and moved closer to the Alpha and the Beta. I watched as Katie looked at the Beta and watched as something flicker through her eyes before it leaving, almost as if I had imagined it.

A frown appeared on my lips, but I couldn't think about it when the owl squawked again, this time warning me that we were almost out of time. I huffed before turning around and started to run in the direction that the owl was pointing.

I could feel my mate keeping pace with me, just a few steps behind me. I felt a gaze on my butt and knew that he was looking at it.

'Perv,' Payton said, causing me to hum in agreement.

Let's just hope he will understand as to why I beat his ass because he did not have look at me like I was some piece of meat.
