*Carly's POV*

I could feel the power radiating off of the alpha that stood only a few feet away from me. The silence that surrounded us was tense and I didn't need to look up to tell that all of them were staring at me.

My eyes had been glued to the ground ever since the alpha arrived and I didn't dare look up a at him. A loud and powerful growl was heard causing me to gulp and tighten my hold on the little one in my arms. I took in a shaky breath before shifting my gaze upwards. My eyes widened in surprise as I took in the man in front of me.

He was tall and towered over my small frame, his well sculpted chest was on display along with his bulging arm muscles. His sharp jaw line was clenched tightly and his slightly cricked nose was flared in anger. Midnight black hair fell into his eyes, icy blue eyes that seemed to pierce your soul. The man in front of me was gorgeous and I couldn't help but to openly stare at him.

I was brought out of my trance by the clearing of a throat. I blinked my eyes a few times before focusing on the alpha. A small smirk was plastered on his full pink lips but it was quickly wiped away and replaced with an icy mask.

"I asked you a question rogue. Why are you on my land?" The alpha bellowed out. I slightly flinched back from his tone before straightening myself out and raising my eyes to meet his.

"I wasn't aware that this was pack land. I'm very sorry for trespassing and if you would let me I would be more then happy to leave." I stated truthfully. The alpha studied me for a moment before folding his arms across his chest.

"That may be so but I'm still going to need you to come with me for further questioning." He stated. I sighed in frustration.

"Is that really necessary?" I questioned. He raised an eyebrow at me before nodding his head. I let out another frustrated sigh before slowly straitening myself. The alphas eyes dropped down to Aiden, who had been out of sight, and slightly widened in surprise before returning back to normal.

He turned swiftly on his heels and started to head in the opposite direction in which I had come. Collin joined him at his side and with a sigh I started following after him. The two unnamed boys followed behind me and we all walked in silence.

We had been walking for about ten minutes before I felt a little tug on my jacket. I looked down at my son who had a fistful of my jacket clenched tightly in his small hand.

"Mommy where's we going?" He asked curiously. I smiled at his cuteness before shifting him on my hip.

"We are going with these men who are going to ask mommy a few questions." I answered. Aiden nodded his head before asking another question.

"Then are we gonna go home?" He pushed. I sighed and glanced away from him.

"I don't know baby." Was my reply. Aiden rested his head on my shoulder and muttered words that I did not want to hear.

"Me's miss daddy." Aiden said sadly. My breathing stopped and my heart broke for my little boy. I didn't think about how much this would affect Aiden.

I didn't get the chance to say another thing about the subject because suddenly a beautiful house came into view. It was large, standing three stories tall. It was completely white in color with red accents around the doors and windows. Many different kinds of flowers were planted out front making it obvious that a women cared for the place.

I could hear many different voices from inside the house and I guessed that the majority of the pack lived here. I followed the alpha up the steps and through the front door. There had been loud chatter coming from the house but as soon as we entered it went silent, reminding me of the diner incident.

The alpha led the way up the large stair case and into a his office. There wasn't much to the room, with black walls and white furniture, but it did have a very strict feeling about it. The alpha took a seat behind his desk while Collin took a seat in one of the two chairs before the desk. The two other guys sat on the sofa that was pushed into the back wall.

I sighed before taking a seat in the chair beside Collin. I shifted Aiden into my lap and he rested his head on my chest, indicating that he was tired. There was a tense silence for a moment before it was broke by the alpha.

"My name is Xavier Jones, alpha of the dark moon pack. What is your name?" He questioned. I gulped. The dark moon pack is one of the strongest packs in America.

"My name is Carly Faye and again I am so sorry for trespassing on your land." I answered respectfully.

"I'm sure that you are but I still need to know why you did." Xavier stated. I racked my brain for a good answer but nothing came to mind.

"We were just passing through. The only reason that we stopped was because I needed to rest." I stated honestly. Xavier studied me for a moment, probably trying to decide if I was lying or not, before looking away.

"Where are you heading?" He questioned taking me by surprise. I honestly hadn't thought about where we are heading, I was just trying to get as far away from Mason as I could.

"Um, I'm not quite sure right now." I sated vaguely. I glanced down to Aiden to see that he was sound asleep. A small smile made its way onto my face before I looked back up to Xavier. He was staring at me intently and that caused a small blush to make its way onto my face.

Xavier tore his eyes away from me and refocused it on his hands. He seemed to be deep in thought as a frown appeared on his face.

"Who are you running from?" He asked as his eyes came back to mine. My eyes widened and I almost choked on air.

"I-I'm not running from anybody." I answered quickly and cursed myself for stuttering. Xavier raised his eyebrows and gave me a look.

"Really?" He asked in a disbelieving voice. I put on an emotionless mask and raised my head up.

"Really." My voice came out steady and not at all nervous like I thought it would. I could tell that Xavier still didn't believe me because he continued to push.

"Your really not running from anyone? So you really just packed all of you and your sons stuff up and left your pack for no good reason?" He pushed. He didn't even give me a chance to reply before he continued. "You really got those injuries and bruises because your not running from somebody?" He finally finished.

Anger courses through me when he asked that last question. My hands curled into tight fists and I clenched my jaw.

"It's really none of your business!" I hissed angrily. He had no right to push me like he was doing. Xavier narrowed his eyes at me and his hands began to shake.

"It is my business! You are on my land and I need to know if my pack is in danger or not!" He exclaimed harshly. I flinched back from his tone. Xavier noticed my scared expression and his eyes softened.

"Look maybe if you tell me what's going on I can help you." Xavier offered. I sighed and closed my eyes.

"There's nothing you can do to help me." I stated quietly. Xavier shook his head quickly.

"Yes there is, if you just tell me then I might be able to help you with the person that did this to you." He said softly. This time it was my turn to shake my head.

"There's no use, nobody can protect me from him." Came my broken reply. Xavier frowned in confusion.

"From who?" He pushed. I looked down to my peacefully sleeping baby and stroked his cheek.

"Aidens father. My mate." I finally let out. A gasp came from behind me but I didn't dare look up from Aiden because I didn't want to see anybody's pitiful stare.

"Your mate did this to you?" Xavier asked angrily. I slowly nodded my head.

"And your alpha allowed it? He didn't even try to stop him?" He continued. I could hear that he was getting more angry by the second. A humorless laugh made its way out of my mouth before I raised my head up to look at Xavier.

"My mate is the alpha." I said bitterly. Silence engulfed the room and you could have heard a pin drop. That is until a deep growl filled the room.

"An alpha is a role model to his pack! He should be somebody that people look up to, he shouldn't be beating on his mate! A man like that doesn't even deserve a mate!" Xavier exclaimed passionately. My heart skipped a beat and I shrank back into my chair. Aiden stirred in my arms and that's what gave me the courage to try to calm Xavier down.

"It's ok, calm down. Your going to wake my baby up." I said motioning to the small child in my arms. Xavier took deep breaths in and out of his nose before he was finally calm enough to speak.

"I'm sorry I just have no tolerance for men that hit women." He stated. I nodded my head and opened my mouth to speak but all that came out was a deep yawn. My eyes started to water and I heard a chuckle come from Xavier.

"Tired?" Xavier questioned. I nodded my head when the long yawn was finally over.

"We'll if you would like you could sleep in one of our guest bedrooms and we can continue talking when you are all rested." He offered generously.

"That would be great." I answered surprised by his generosity.

"Okay Seth and Noah will take you two to your room." Xavier stated. I nodded my head and stood up. The two guys that were sitting on the sofa were now by the door and I began walking towards them until I remembered something.

"Oh and Alpha Xavier?" I asked as I turned around. He raised his head up and looked at me.

"Yes?" He questioned.

"Thank you." I said sincerely. Xavier looked surprised for a moment before a large smirk made its way onto his face.

"Your welcome sweetheart." He answered with a wink. A burning hot blush made its way onto my face before I turned around and scurried out of the room. I heard chuckling come from behind me causing me to roll my eyes, stupid alpha.
