NOVEL NEXT Chapter 8: Chapter 8
I walked listening to their conversation, making mental notes of their names. I couldn't stop thinking of how vulnerable I am without my wolf, she truly was my protector. Where I was excited to meet my mate, hoping it would calm her down, she was dead set on rejecting him if he wasn't good enough. I knew I wouldn't be able to challenge her, in her mind she didn't want two people to take care of.
I understood her logic but.. that would be our mate, the person the moon goddess specifically chose to be our other half. Without our mate she would grow more restless, more aggressive, and goddess forbid they reject us first. She refused to become weaker for love, she has me as her main priority. I guess being her vessel she had to, not that she had a choice.
We had a odd type of relationship, since she was already full grown when I was just a child she seemed to feel responsible for me. Normally wolves were supposed to be friends with their human counterparts, learning to live life together and learning right from wrong. They're supposed to be one, working together to solve problems and knowing the others reactions before hand. Their souls should be intertwined with you and you theirs.
Once you found your mate, all souls intertwined in perfect harmony. I couldn't fathom rejecting my mate, even if he was an omega. She was dead set that we were Alpha's and therefore getting an alpha mate. She says just because we're an omega here, it's just going to be a smudge of our past and we would prove our strength to our mate if he was worthy.
In my mind anyone who would truly love us would be worthy, she demands that they make her submit. She hasn't submitted to any alpha willingly, only to the Obsidian Alpha's when they had their filthy paws on dad. Even then, it was only dads pleading eyes that made us step down. We didn't truly submit, not in her eyes anyway.
She isn't weak to alpha auras, my mates only hope is that she likes him or he can out fight her. Thinking back I play over their conversation, they said my mother never cheated. At the very end my father gave his life for me, rejecting his mate of over 20 years. She fought it until the last second, finally giving in just to find out I would be exiled anyway.
They did everything for me, and yet here I am getting walked through a damp cave.
"walk faster" blade growled as he pushes me forward
I growl ripped out of me, it wasn't my wolf but actually me. I was done getting pushed around, just for huge hands to wrap around my throat. I was on the tips of my toes struggling to stay conscious when my claws extended and sliced into his arm. My fight or flight kicked in, and I was forced to fight.
He lets go of my throat dropping me to the ground, a murderous growl comes from him as he stalks towards me. I scramble back scooting along the ground just to slam into the wall. Great now I'm stuck, about to be killed, and I don't have my wolf I thought to myself. I pinch my eyes closed waiting for pain, just to hear fighting in the background.
My eyes fly open to see Cross and Blake pinning a half shifted Blade to the cave wall. This would be my chance to escape, but there would be no point. In my human form I'm not fast enough to outrun them, and if I tried to leave they would just let him go and I'd be dead for sure. If I was able to shift I'd be fine, assuming that I could find my way out and no one is waiting for them at the exit.
"LET GO OF ME!" Blade roared struggling against them.
"Alpha's orders were for us to leave her at the farthest end of the territory, there's no way she can get off pack lands in time." Blake reminded him
"THEN LET ME SAVE US THE TROUBLE OF FINDING HER AND KILL HER NOW"
"Wouldn't it be more fun to track her down? your wolf hasn't come out to track in a while, he needs his turn." Cross tries to calm him
Blade seemed to think about his words, contemplating if it would be worth letting me go or not. Just as I think he was going to break free of them and kill me a sadistic smile plays on his face. His fur receded and his body seems to calm, watching it gave me hope. Blake and Cross seemed to think the same thing, just as they let Blade go his eye's bled black and he lunges for me.
I froze, expecting horrible pain... only it never came. I hear a loud breathing right by my ear, I wouldn't open my eyes I didn't want to know when I would die. Blade took a deep breath, inhaling my scent, only to grab my sleeve and rip it off at the seam. I jumped and jerked my head to the side coming face to face with Blade, only his wolf took over.
"just wait puppet, we will have our fun shortly" he purrs out, sniffing my sleeve in his hand as he backs up.
"don't want me to forget your scent now do we?" he smiles, fangs elongated.
Akela starts to stir, feeling that I'm in danger but unable to do anything. Cross yanked me up off the ground, and pushed me forward to start walking again. It seemed like we were in this cave for hours, no true measurement of time. I realized I had the stop watch in my bag, oh no my bag!
I spin around looking for my belongings just to see Blake carrying them. Relief flooded me, he must have picked it up after the scuffle. I wanted to ask for my bag back, but after what just happened I figured I'd keep my mouth shut. I see light shining ahead, not bright so I'm assuming it's nighttime.
We come up to the end of the cave, moonlight bleeding in around us. Since I didn't have my wolf my eyesight wasn't as good at night, great I'm running out of time and I can't see. I look out the cave mouth to see nothing but Forrest, I have no clue where I am. I try looking for lights to head towards but there's absolutely nothing, nowhere that I can tell that there is civilization.
"36 hours puppet, then me and you have a date." blade smiles flashing his teeth
