I know I have been missing for nearly two months now and I'm extremely sorry. I'll try not to do it again. Next Chapter is already finished and being edited. Lori1969, you are an absolute sweetheart for sticking with me, thank you
CHAPTER 4
Conner Roy Donovan watched as the old lady hurried past him, her eyes on the floor.
Smart woman.
He had come close to committing murder...twice; first the bell boy, who had dared touch the she-wolf and then the human male.
Conner steadied the female in his arms when she pitched forward when the train braked. He carried her to the bench, at the end of the compartment, farthest away from his pack mates. He knew they were just as affected by the female's heat as he was, and had far less control than him. The only thing keeping them from bursting in here were his commands.
Jared.
Yes sir? The beta's mental answer sounded like a frog's croak.
Inform Jason about the rogues in his territory and the condition this one is in. Ask him to send help as soon as possible. Co-ordinate with him and make sure we all get off safely and without being seen if possible.
Okay.
And find me something to tie her down with. She seems to have managed to control the effects of heat somehow but I don't want to take any chances.
The beta's understanding flowed through their pack bond before Conner blocked him off.
He sat on the bench opposite to the female, elbows on his knees...
Amy.
He was leaning towards Amy so much he was in a danger of falling on his face. The heat and scent called to him strongly. But he resisted. Clenching his fingers into fists he avoided his most basic instinct to touch her. Instead he stared at her face, trying to put his finger on what bothered him the most about her.
Her face was familiar, yet unknown. The shape of her nose, the jaw line, the beauty spot on the left temple, tiny mole at the corner of her right eye; all these details made him remember things he had vowed to forget.
When he had first scented her he had thought that Jason had finally managed to spare a were to work at the hotel, where he preferred to stay while visiting. But he quickly grew suspicious of her tensed face and forced smile. Andrew's comment about not knowing her made him wary. He knew Andrew to be a ladies' man through and through. There was not a female in Clair pack that Andrew hadn't flirted with.
She was good he had to give her that. She had kept her eyes over their shoulder. Turned her back to them showing her trust, making him believe she was an omega or a theta at least. She had shocked him with her denial of his command. It was then he had noticed her eyes, more specifically the contacts she was wearing.
She was an Alpha and a rogue, a dangerous combination. What was she doing working at the hotel? Which pack was she from? And how the hell did she manage to stay sane without a pack?
He wouldn't be getting any answers until after her cycle was over. There were two of them; the other female must have escaped the first chance she got. Rouges were hardly ever loyal to each other.
The rogue had smelled of lilacs earlier at the hotel, and now it had changed to strawberries and cream. He snarled as thoughts flowed unrestrained through his head.
The scent had haunted his days and nights. It was stuck in his head, in his nose. He smelled it everywhere; at times he could almost taste it.
Thoughts of her weren't far behind, the softness of her skin, full lips, the way she raked her fingers through his hair, the way she said his name, her laugh, her eyes. He cherished the memories and cursed them. He loved her and hated her. He missed her and detested her for it.
The warring emotions had nearly driven him mad; he had been on the verge of going rogue. So he had stopped thinking about her altogether. He locked up everything that was hers; avoided doing things that reminded him of her. It took him some time but he managed to almost forget her and look at other women with interest.
Amanda Knight had fucked him good and proper. And he wasn't about to let some female; even one with so many similarities, screw with his life again.
Conner, I got a set of cuffs from the strongbox in the conductor's compartment.
Leave it on the floor. And return to your spot.
Conner stood by the female as Jared entered from the opposite end. Jared walked forward with small and measured steps.
Hold your breath Jared, it'll help.
Jared looked up at his Conner and tried to grin but only managed to grimace.
How can you stay so fucking calm?
I have absolutely no idea how! Leave it there on the seat and go.
Jared dropped the cuffs on the seat and ran away like the hounds of hell were chasing him.
Conner stepped over to the seat and picked up the cuffs. He then bound one of Amy's hands to the seat legs. His ass had just touched the seat when low moan had him snapping to attention. He watched as she arched her back and pulled her legs closer, biting back a groan at the erotic picture she made.
