Alora POV

An awkward silence enters the car as Hector speeds off pack lands and I have to grip onto the leather seat from his fast driving. He wanted space between me and pack lands before I changed my mind.

I have to close my eyes, I couldn't watch Than's face in the car side mirror from what I have just done.

I will return, of course I will, this is my home.

The pack link becomes diluted down the further Hector drives out of the pack grounds. I am just about to tell him to pull over when he must sense my unease, and pulls the car into a car park on top of a hill.

I didn't want to be so far out that I could no longer feel the pack. Not being marked, the pack was my only contact link with Than...until he marked me. Then he could mind-link me wherever I was.

The hill was famous, some kind of human battle occurring here centuries ago that has now become a tourist hot spot.

Except for a few cars, it was quiet now, and for a moment I can sit in silence, my eyes casting out at the beautiful landscape in front of me.

I haven't been in Hector's presence for 4 years, and I have to find inner strength to be the first to talk. I don't look to him but I can feel his eyes on me, my cheeks reddening from his intense stare. He was taking me in, all of me.

"You always said you wouldn't lie to me..." I sigh out, my head resting comfortably against the head rest as I continue to look out at the view.

I would never reject someone based on their authority within a pack so why would he feel the need to become an Alpha for
