Chapter 13 

Damien's POV

Ben had been reporting many other rouge sightings throughout the week and I was beginning to get worried. I increased my warriors' training and made sure we had enough shelters for the women and children if an unexpected attack happened. I would rather take these extra precautions than pay the consequences when it was too late. 

"Damien, do you want to catch some lunch now?" My mate asked as we were sitting at our desks in Croft's Ltd. 

"I'd love to but I'm really behind and not hungry. Why don't you go meet Shelley?" I replied, even though I'd love to spend time with my mate I need to get some work done and today she looks too sexy. I've been distracted all morning!

"Ok, it has been a while since I saw her. But you can't not eat, I'm bringing you back a sandwhich and making sure you eat it." She looked at me with a joking but stern look and I couldn't help but smile back. 

"Ok whatever babe, go see your friend. Be safe!" I say as she kisses me on the cheek and walks out the door.

Now to get some work done... If I can stop daydreaming about my mate that is.


Amelia's POV

"Hey Shelley! Wanna catch some lunch?" I say walking up to her desk to see her hard at work.

"Oh sure, I was just finishing off! You finally managed to get away from your mate?" She smirked and I giggled.

"Oh yeah, easier than I thought to be honest, he's too pressured by work at the moment." I replied, it's the rouges that are causing the most stress.

"Ben's the same. Everyday it seems another rouge is sniffing around, almost spying on us... I don't know what it is but I always feel uneasy." She wasn't joking anymore and I could tell she was genuinely worried.

"It will all be fine, and if anything does happen we will be prepared." We share an anxious smile and walk up to the cafe outside crofts ltd. I order a cheese and ham toastie and Shelley gets two slices of pepperoni pizza. 

Once seated we chat about unimportant things until we hear screaming coming from outside the cafe. We both look at eachother then stand up, storming outside to make sure the woman we heard is alright. She was sitting on the pavement with her head in her hands sniffing and looking really distressed but unharmed. 

"Hey, what happened? Are you ok?" I ask crouching down to her. 

She looks up at me, sniffs and says "I'm ok, but that man stole my handbag!" I looked up to see a shadow of a man too far away running in the opposite direction to us. "It had my keys, wallet and the only photo of my mum before she died!" She broke down in tears again and I put my hand on her back, hopefully provided some kind of comfort. 

She was about 20 years old and had straight blond hair that looked like it hadn't been looked after and her clothes although smart were torn and smelled quite bad. I also caught her scent which was werewolf but rouge and I looked at Shelley who mind linked me saying 'She's a rouge! We need to leave her, she could be dangerous,' I shook my head before turning to the girl.

"I'm sorry he's gotten away, but it'll be ok. Come inside to my office and freshen up before you go out again and I can help you find someone to get you a new set of keys cut before you go home." I smiled at her reassuringly, this is the least I would want if I had just been mugged!

"Thank you, you're too kind. I'm Isla by the way." She smiled and wiped her eyes with a tissue Shelley and given her. 

"Amelia, it's nice to meet you, and this is Shelley. We both work at Crofts Ltd." 

"Wow, isn't that where the alpha of the Night Pack works!? He's considered One of the most powerful men in the werewolf world at the moment!" She looked both interested and impressed, and for a split second something I can only describe as success flashed in her eyes. I didn't understand but agreed with her about the former part of her exclamation and the second part I pretty much ignored. 

"Yeah I guess, anyway our lunch break is over so follow me." As we walked up to the door I typed in the code into the new locks that have been built in since all the rouge sightings and noticed her leaning in abut too close to me but when I turned around to her she looked away, gazing at the massive door and extravagant decor. 

We led her upstairs together but Shelley said she had to get back to her project so we said goodbye and promised to have lunch together more often. As we neared mine and Damien's office I saw her looking around very eagerly. I led her to the bathroom and kitchen next door telling her to use the facilities as I went into the office to look up a key specialist for her. When I came back to the kitchen she wasn't there. And when I looked in the bathroom she wasn't there either. 

I Wandered into the hall way thinking she had left already but saw the filing cupboard door cracked open. I peaked in and saw Isla bent down looking through drawers. "Isla are you ok?" 

She looked up immediately and slightly shocked. "Oh, yes, sorry I got lost. And I err I dropped an earring! It was my mothers. I'm sorry I didn't mean to seem nosy but the drawer was open and I thought it fell in there." She stood up and I looked at her ears seeing she wasn't wearing even one earring. 

"Did you lose both?" I asked, kind of suspicious. 

"Oh no! I've lost both! I can't believe I'm so clumsy!" Isla looked like she was about to cry so I helped her out of the room and gave her another tissue. 

"Calm down, I'll look for them but right now I think you should go home. You've had a rough day. Here's a number for a keg specialist and here's mine, call me if you need anything and if I find the earrings I'll get them to you.ok?" I said, trying to get her to stop crying.

"Ok, thank you so much for all your help." It seemed she was exhausted and I couldn't blame her after the day she'd had. 

"It's no problem, go home and relax now." She thanked me again and we said goodbye, however as she went down the lift and out of crofts ltd. I couldn't help but feel slightly uneasy about her.
