Chapter 19: Let's Run (Part 2)

Jake’s POV

“Sure. I don’t see why not.”

Glancing towards Tori’s bedroom window do I now notice how late it was getting. From the moment we had arrived too Lilyanna’s sudden arrival was I now able to see just how late it was getting. As the sun was beginning to set, which in turn, made the sky turn to dusk.

“Come. Let’s head outside then. It’ll be easier for you when we do” replies Alex as we all move to leave the room. Layla now waiting patiently at the door for us. Her eyes filled with sadness.

“Mom?” says Tori once he spots his mother, tears threatening to fall from her own amber color eyes.

“I’m sorry Tori. I really am. Lilyanna wasn’t supposed to know about that. It was strictly between Alpha Chase and us, nobody else was supposed to know” answers Layla softly, her gaze still on her son.

“So it’s true then. And you and dad knew about it too?” questions Tori, now tense.

“Yes. And I’m so, so sorry for it too. But Alpha Chase had summoned us yesterday and had basically explained to us that the Elders wanted him to banish you. To turn you Rogue for not having your wolf.”

“But mom… I do have my wolf now. His name is Rune.”

“I know sweetheart, which means that the Elders can’t force you to leave. Your no longer wolfless.”

Weighing her words carefully does Tori hesitate in replying back, a sigh leaving his lips as his 5 foot 8 inch frame moves to hug his mother gently. Both just holding each other until Zak moves to speak up.

“Speaking of Lilyanna, where is she?” asks Zak, clearly not happy with her actions.

“The King moved to take her home. He wasn’t very happy with her either, so he and his Beta moved to escort her back home before saying that he was going to speak to Alpha Chase before leaving to go back to his own pack” admits Layla.

A part of me now needing to talk to my father about Tori and what his new role will be moving forward. As well as Zak, Alex and I becoming the new Beta, Delta and Alpha of our pack. The Ambersky pack. Because after today, no one would ever dare touch or hurt our mate ever again.

“And what about father?” asks Tori.

“He went to speak with Alpha Chase. Said he’d be back later this evening”

Nodding his head does Tori move to speak up once again. “Okay mom. Thanks. But for now, I’m going for a run. Jake and the guys are going to help me with my first shift for the first time.”

Smiling at her sons words does Layla move to smile again. “That’s wonderful Tori. Our first shift is always the hardest so I’m glad that Jake is with you along with Zak and Alex.”

“Thanks mom”

Offering another quick smile to Layla do we all move to head outside. The sun still setting behind the trees as it begins to paint the sky a beautiful shade of reds and oranges.

“You ready Tori?” I ask once I’m focused back on our mate and not of the sky.

“Yep. Ready when you are” nods Tori, his excitement rising upon his face as he does.

“Good. Because first, you need to strip yourself of all your clothes. Only because the last time I checked, clothes didn’t shift with us” admits Zak. Tori blushing at his words as he moves to strip. His feet now kicking off his shoes as he slowly works on removing his clothes.

Each of us now focused on Tori as he moves to remove each piece of clothing. Our mouths watering at his perfectly sculpted body. Light muscles now rising along his body as he moved to flex his arms when removing an article of clothing.

‘Beautiful’ purrs Alex over our bond. Zak agreeing with him as well.

‘Agreed. He’s beautiful. And to think that he’s all ours. All ours’ I move to say back to them once Tori was completely naked except his necklace. The same necklace that I had given to him during his 14th birthday. The one I made sure to have enchanted so it would expand when he shifted into his wolf.

“Okay. Naked. Check. Now what?”

“Now, you focus. Let your wolf do the guiding. They know what to do” I move to say to him, remembering when I first shifted into Vox.

“Okay” whispers Tori as he moves to close his eyes. Relaxing his body as he allows Rune to take over. The sound of bones breaking and then rearranging instantly reach our ears until finally, standing in Tori’s spot on all fours was Rune.

Rune now happily standing before us. Fur pure as snow along with dark amber eyes now move to gaze back at us knowingly. Specks of orange dancing within each eye. Yet aside from being white there were also black and silver runes all over his body too. Runes of various size and shape now gracefully filling his body in the most beautiful way. My necklace now dangling nicely from upon his neck.

Rune now moving to approach each of us as he begins to rub against us, as if claiming us while in wolf form. My fingers now combing through soft fur as Rune moves to purr.

“Your gorgeous baby. Absolutely gorgeous.”

Purring louder does Rune move to sit down in front of us. Eyes still locked on us as he moves to wait. Zak, Alex and I each now moving to remove our own clothes before shifting into our wolves. Into Vox, Ash and Volt.

Vox now moving to nuzzle up against Rune as does Volt and Ash. Rune purring in acceptance as he moves to return the gesture. Vox now turning towards the trees all while tilting is head. Rune wagging his tail. Clearly happy at the thought as Vox moves to howl at the sky, Ash and Volt both doing the same followed by Rune before the four of them move to run off into the forest, giving Tori and Rune the chance they needed to bond.
