Chapter 575

I was quickly making friends and a home in this pack.

Though I had to admit, I missed my friends back home. I've had my cellphone

shut off for the last 2 weeks; I was afraid that if I called one of my friends, or if they called me, they would only feed me information about Gavin. The last thing I wanted to hear about was his wedding planning.

"Where did your mind just go?" Lucy asked with a frown.

I hadn't told Lucy about Gavin or about anything real in my life. She obviously knew I had family and friends back home, but she didn't know much of anything else. I told her that I didn't have a phone, which is why she couldn't contact me right now. I have a company one from working with the Elite Force, which is what Sampson contacts me on; she keeps trying to get Sampson's permission to contact me on that phone, but he refuses because it's not meant for socializing.

I suppose at some point iw was going to have to turn on my phone and get a hold of my parents because they were probably worried about me, despite me calling them when I landed to tell them that I was safe, and I'll contact them again when I can in a few weeks.

I'll just tell Lucy that I happened to have gotten a phone and then give her my number.

She offered to buy me a phone, but I refused to take a dime from her.

"Just thinking about the rogues. There are new attacks?"

She shrugged.

"Or so I've heard through the grapevine," she replied.

We pulled up to the large manor of a packhouse and got out of the car. We walked together while they mindlessly spoke to me, and soon we were entering through the large doors only to see a bustling of Gamma warriors.

"Woah," I said, freezing.

Before I could comprehend what was going on, Sampson was in front of us with his arms folded across his chest; his eyes were fixed on his mate.

"You bribed one of my

Gamma

warriors," Sampson stated; it wasn't a question, more like a fact. "You can't do that kind of thing, Lucy Not right now, at least. It's dangerous for you to wander around the pack unprotected. You know the main target for rogues are Luras and those who are important to Alphas. It weakens the pack when the Alpha is distracted. By being careless with your life, you put the pack in danger."

"You are so dramatic," Lucy said, rolling her eyes. "It's not that serious. Judy lives literally up the street."

"It is serious, Lucy. If anything

happened to you..." His voice trailed off, unable to finish the thought. I loved how much Sampson loved Lucy; made me envious. I wanted that kind of lovely wanted to feel worshipped like she did. My heart ached at the thought that might never have that. My true mate didn't want me... and the guy I thought I was falling in love with, also doesn't want me. My hope was dwindling, and there was nothing I could do about it.

"Is the threat that bad?" I asked, interrupting his scolding. "Why are there so many warriors here? What's going on?"

"You should find your team," Sampson told me, directing his gaze from Lucy to me. "Marlo will tell you the details."

Marlo was my team leader. We don't always see eye to eye, but I respect him as

my superior. I had only been here for a couple of weeks after all.noveldrama

"Are we in danger, Sir?" I asked him.

Sampson opened his mouth to speak, but then he closed it as if he were to rethink what he wanted to say. Then he pressed his lips together and gave me a short nod.

"Yes," he replied. "I'm afraid the security of my pack had been breached, We are calling in for help from other packs and waiting to hear back from them, but it's not

looking good. There are a lot of

Tieto are a lot of deaths, and I'm trying to keep those

of us here alive. Go find Marlo and

have him fill you in, Judy. I need to deal with my mate and make sure she stays in the packhouse."

I nodded without hesitation and did exactly what my new Alpha requested.
