"Have you heard? They said that the Alpha King found his other half."
"There's been enough chaos happening around the Mansion, i wonder if it's because of the Luna."
"Didn't you hear? She has beaten up 2 warriors and until now they lay unconscious!"
I sighed, it's only been minutes since i escaped that little hut but i'm already hearing rumors about me. Actually, once he had left i've already stepped out, fully aware that i had ignored his warning not to move an inch, and that it was weird that i was in that place.
I thought i was in his room.
And it bothers me that i recall some memories showing that i've run a few times inside that hut- but it's a blurry piece of memory.
Whatever i'll enjoy everything while i'm here.
While wandering around, my eyes never left the Mansion that stood like a mountain in front of me, everywhere i go i would always see it. It's very big to even describe. Not only that caught my attention, but also the number of werewolves that wander here like me.
Hundreds- no Maybe thousands.
Is this really a Pack House? It looks like a Kingdom to me.
Being so deeply in thoughts, i failed to sense the werewolf that bumped into me
The guy just glared at me, the weird thing was everybody that surrounded him followed his gaze and they did what he did- they glared at me. I gulped, i was careless.
"I-I didn't mean to bump into you, i'm sorry." I apologized and turned a heel, unfortunately, they seemed to know that i was making an exit.
"Hold up." One of the people beside him pushed me slightly back. "Rogue."
I glared at him.
That's not possible- wait. It is, i remember Jason giving me to these bastards, but i forgot the reason why i tried to escape? Whatever it may be- maybe being the Alpha King's mate, my old Pack already cut ties with me.
Yes it's my bond to my old Pack.
Slowly, their footsteps rang into my ears and they surrounded me like i was some prey to kill. "You're all misunderstanding something."
"Misunderstanding? You give off a Scent of a fresh rogue."
"you dare call me a Rogue?" I said angrily, even though i know that i did smell like a Rogue- but you know, in the world of our species being called a rogue is like being called like,
Filthy wild Animal.
Even before one of them started running his way towards me, i quickly step on one foot and swung backward, making him fall to his ass. Everyone growled at me
"What? You don't expect me to surrender, did you?" I smirked.
Without any thought, this time two of them started running towards me with their sharp claws and their sharp teeth.
I just stood there with a smirk plastered to my face while they tried to lunge at me, unfortunately, they can't even land a punch on me. I guess my dodging skills are top a notch then.
"What's wrong? Can't touch a single Rogue?"
They were 7 of them while 1 of me.
Werewolves were known for their short temper, i guess that's why finally, all of them started running towards me.
Still dodging to their current attack, i raised a claw up, seeing my claws going sharper, i inhaled quick breaths before i lunged it towards the guy who tried to attack me behind. It quickly went straight through his insides, making him cough excessive blood. He fell downwards and held his upper abdomen.
Now everyone's looking like they would kill me. I smirked when i saw them shifting into their werewolf form one after the another. I just stood amused.
"You insolent bitch!"
"Really now? Are you gonna cry?" I said taunting him more.
Well i guess it worked.
I lowered my body to get ready for the impact, positioning myself in combat style. I'm not gonna shift for this simple thing. At first, they seemed to communicate each other seeing that they attacked me one by one.
I might as well hurt them one by one.
After beating their ass, i said "is this all?" i yawned.
Their cockiness doesn't equal to their strength. Currently, they all stood hurling themselves on the ground while they grunt in pain.
I was suddenly alarmed when i saw everyone around me baring their fangs out for me. Shit- i forgot this is a Pack- it would be bad if they all fight me here, there are woman and children here.
I stepped back and they looked like they were about to shift, "Woah! No this is a misunderstanding everyone!"
They seemed to take that as an insult because one of them seriously looked at me like i needed to kill myself, the worst part it was a kid.
At the last second, before they could run towards me, i flinched when i felt the familiar sensation that tingled electricity all over my body, in front of me.
I gulped, a very angry Alpha King stood before me. I looked behind and saw everyone bowing in respect. Once again, i looked at my mate. "H-Hi?"
He angrily said "Didn't i told you to not move an inch?"
I rolled my eyes. "You're being dramatic Alpha King, it's not like i'm trying to escape."
He growled at me. "It's not the first time is it?"
"Gosh! What's wrong with wandering around your pack? I just wanted to-" i stopped mid-way when he grabbed my wrist tightly and dragged me away, earning some confused looks from his pack. "WAIT! I'm not finished talking yet!"
And didn't he saw the men behind him? They were all unconscious.
"What's wrong with you!" I hissed at him. Grabbing my sore wrist where his hand left just seconds ago.
His grip was deadly.
I was still facing his back when i realized that he was still trying to control his immense anger. I just stared at his back blankly, praying that he doesn't face me again. His body never relaxes as his fist was always balled. Regretfully, he turns his back to face me.
I rolled my eyes, he was still looking like a mad man.
"Tell me the truth."
"What now?" I chuckled bitterly.
"Admit that you were trying to escape." He said in a low voice, his temper slowly showing.
"I was not!"
"NO! You expect me to believe that you were just touring around the Pack?! You tried to escaped multiple times!"
I raised an eyebrow, i tried to escape multiple times? I cannot remember a thing about it, strange. Either way, im not gonna let him order me around! I'm his mate for Pete's sake.
"Yes i expect you to believe your one and only Mate! What i said is true i was just trying to look around the place."
"Bullshit." He spat furiously. "You fought my guards to escape, right?"
So he noticed.
"Yes i fought with them but it was only for self-defense. They were the ones who lunged at me first!"
"Stop lying." He angrily commanded.
Ok what the fuck! Did he just used his Alpha tone is me?
"You arsehole. That's it!" I said putting my arms down forcefully while i seethed towards him. People were now circling us to watch the scene and i could care less. "I don't care anymore if you believe me or not. But no, you don't use your Alpha Tone in me." I said, my canines showing my anger.
"What are you doing." He said in a neutral voice.
"What else? If i beat you, you let me go." I said, raising my fists.
"No."
"Why? Scared losing to a girl?"
I don't exactly know why i'm trying to beat an Alpha King, but if my Instincts tells me to run, escape or flee. I would always trust my instincts.
"I rather lose the fight than lose you." He said, his eyes Turning back to its natural color as his expression showed sincerity.
"W-What? No! We fight! And if i beat you-"
"No." he says, stepping closer, slowly trying to close the distance between us.
"Don't come close!"
I don't know why i ran away, like he said. I don't know why my instincts is rejecting him. I don't know why i'm scared of getting close to him. Whatever it is, it must be a sign that i'm missing something.
But what? I can't tell what it is.
The surrounding screamed silence as my body tenses, he's in front of me and all I could see or sense is him, everything didn't matter.
"Christal, i'm sorry." He embraces me. "I don't care if you did try to escape earlier, the important thing is you're here in my embrace."
"I couldn't control my anger, forgive me. And please, don't leave me." He whimpered, my heart breaking into pieces.
Was i stupid? Why did i attempt to escape from him? From this man? He loved me truly and i rejected him.
Why?
Why don't i know the answers to my question?
I felt a sudden pain from the back of my head. I fell, thankfully he caught me gracefully. I held my head and screamed, but i cannot hear anything.
I felt my throat vibrating from screaming, but the screams of silence completely filled my ears. The only last thing i saw is when i saw myself being carried away by my Mate.
