Aleka's pov
I reached the pack border,
there was a deadly silence over here and I feared that maybe I was too late.
I took a step further but I felt something wet my shoes.
What I saw made me freeze in my tracks.
There was a pool of blood on the ground but that was not it ,
I turned to my left to see something like hell
Dead bodies lying everywhere
Blood on every step
Children ,women,warriors all lying dead on the ground
Fear engulfed me
I continued to take small shaky steps further
In front of me was a circle of people
Warriors were standing near them with their swords daring them to move or do anything.
As I approached the circle everyone turned around to look at me
Their eyes held the fear of death unlike me
I am not afraid to die
I know it will come to me eventually
I am just afraid of something happening to him
The guards on seeing me grabbed me by my arms and took me inside the circle
Their swords touching my neck ,daring anything against them.
The emotion I feared the most was now getting on surface
My anger
Anger was what I felt when I saw
Dan lying on the floor in his own blood
His chest was moving up and down but his eyes were struggling to stay open.
On my right stood Emma with her eyes fixed on Dan
A guard was holding her from behind stopping her from struggling
And there near her leg was Angela
Body Trembling with fear
Eyes red from crying
Her eyes met mine and the one thing I saw in them was
Hope
Hope that i'll protect everyone like I protected her before
Raindrops started falling
In front of me stood the 2 backstabbers hugging each other
Behind them on the ground I saw something I feared the most
Something which broke my soul in so many pieces that my eyes got closed automatically unable to see
this
A thunder could be heard depicting the anger of my wolf
Aaron was there
Covered in so much blood that even an inch of his skin was not visible
The raindrops were washing away the blood but I also knew they would be hurting his wounds like Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
stinging needles.
His body was motionless
As if feeling my stare his head turned to look at me
Our eyes met and I was thanking moon goddess
Thanking her for keeping him alive
His baby blue eyes were portraying all his emotions
Pain,happiness,fear and that one thing which I yearned for each day of my life
His
Love
My anger got intensified when I saw teardrops in his eyes
I have never seen him cry before but today seeing his like this
Broke me
I wanted him strong
Strongest of all
Fearless of all
I knew these tears were not his weakness but a depiction of his pain
And his pain burned my insides to kill these people who did this.
I wanted them all dead, but not a peaceful death but one which is merciless ,one which will make the
souls of bystanders shudder in fear.
"Well,well look who we have here!"
My eyes met red ones
He had a smirk on his face and it was like he was expecting my arrival
"The bullied rejected banished weak human who was my favourite pawn in my gameplan of
overthrowing the king!!
Everyone I present before you the rejected mate of our king Aaron Alistaire .........
Aleka grey!!"
People all around were shocked
Gasps could be heard all around
They never knew I was his mate
They just knew that their kings mate was dead
They never knew that she was a omega in their own pack only
They never knew that the girl they degraded to the lowest ranks was actually meant to be the one at
the highest
But now they knew
Some had pity in their eyes others had regret
"Bring her here"
The guards pushed me forward till I reached the red eyed wolf
Jane stood next to him
Her eyes were shocked to see me
She didn't expected me to return
But again I wouldn't have returned if I hadn't known about her intentions.
"Aleka you call these people your pack?
They treated you like shi* but still you come here to die for them?
I give you a choice
Either you can join me and rule over them or you can die along with them!"
The red eyed wolf offered
The only thing my eyes were fixed on was Aaron
I never wanted to see him like this
He was staring at me with those pleading eyes
Asking me why I came back?
Why ,I came back to die when I could have lived happily?
But the thing was I could never be happy without him
I don't desire happiness, I only desire his well being .
I wanted to hurt these people so bad for hurting the only few people who meant the most to me in my
life
But hurting them was not that easy
I couldn't fight these many wolves all by myself
They will definitely kill me
But until my last breath I'll protect them
Joining this red wolf sounded funny
He didn't knew that my loyalty had no boundaries
My loyalty is one sided
It gives everything but never expects anything
I lived under the nametag of a murderer but I will surely try to die as a saviour.
I looked straight into his red eyes and replied
"No"
Next I know the red eyed wolf looked at the guard behind me and gave him some signal
I felt sword clashing my back making me stumble forward.
Testing my limits and trying to break my soul.
