The Alpha Kings Rogue

Her Present

*First person*

That's the trouble with silence, at first it seems like a blessing but just like others I eventually get lost in my thoughts. No matter what I think, what my thoughts begin with, it always lands back to that day, the day all my hope diminished, all my faith became forgotten. Its been 4 years since that day yet the pain feels as deep as it did the day it happened. I've always wondered what happened to my brother, by the time I was awoken he had apparently left. No words spoken, no note left, just left without saying goodbye. I could understand him though, as soon as I turned 16 a couple of months later I ran for the border and never looked back. I knew what my fate would be, I knew what I would turn into but I had lost all means of caring. However you have probably been able to tell by now that I'm not some feral wild animal, in fact I'm the complete opposite. I've never even turned to my wolf, I've met her obviously as she's been with me since I was 14 but besides that she just tells me it isn't the right time or safe to show herself yet. I used to argue with her, try forcing the shift but she's proven to be a lot stronger than me so eventually overtime I've just accepted to trust her with what she tells me. 

"Aria! Get down from there now, we're moving!" The pack 'Alpha tries ordering me as usual. Damien Black, he's in charge of what he calls this pack and me. AS IF! This isn't even a real pack, there's no bond, no soul connection, nothing and to top it off besides me and Damien, all the other wolf's are rogues. I have no idea how he's controlling them but some how he manages to and just like me he's some how kept connected with his wolf. His wolf is a bigger d**k than he is, Damien may think he's in charge of me but his damn wolf, Lucifer, seems to think he owns me. Every time he releases his wolf I climb up the nearest tree, Lucifer just sees it as a hunting game each time though but thankfully he sucks at being the hunter.

"Aria don't make me drag you down, you know Lucifer would love a chance" Damien interrupts me once again.

"Lets just kill him, it will make our lives so blissful" Willow finally decides to pipe up this afternoon,

"Let me shift and we would have a chance" I try telling her even though I already know she'll refuse.

"I've told you not yet, I promise when the time is right we will shift together" her tone did sooth me a little so I decided to let it go and jump down the tree.

It was strangely quiet down here though, usually you can hear the muts arguing over nothing and I mean literally nothing. It's like anger and bickering is rooted into them, however at least when they argue I can hear where they are. What the hell is going on? Wondering around I can see what looks like a deer... What the hell? Deers don't come here, Its too dangerous... that's unless I was in my thoughts longer than I realised and they've already left? 

"Hey mate, what's the problem" of cause my luck wouldn't be that great.

"For the last time Damien, we are NOT mates!" I'm getting too frustrated with him lately, I turn around to see a devilish smirk on his face. It makes me realise that it may be Damiens face I'm seeing but it's really Lucifer who's talking.

"We are mates gorgeous, whether you feel it yet or not" yep definitely Lucifer.

Attempting to stand my ground, I raise my head defiantly "I wouldn't be your mate even if we were the last of our kind on this earth, you repulse me, you make me want to be physically sick"

"Watch your mouth Kitten, before you say something you can't take back"

"Did he just tell us to watch our mouth?!" Oh god Willow please do not start. "I'll watch my mouth, watch it while I tear out his throat!" Okay yeah she's starting.

"Truth hurts I know, we will NEVER be mates, you will never own me and you will never claim me so back the hell off!" Maybe that will get him to take a hint.

"Let's see about that shall we?" There's that stupid grin again. 

Before I have time to react to what's going on, I find my self pinned against a tree with his arms caging me in. I look up at him trying to figure out what he's about to do. His mysterious grey eyes have been replaced with charcoal black, his blonde hair that is usually gelled back perfectly looks like a ruffled mess. His smooth jaw line seems to have grown out to harsh rough stubble. How have I only just noticed these changes? Don't get me wrong I try to avoid him as much as possible but something has happened to him, Its like something in him has snapped. That's when it hit me, Lucifer is beginning to snap and become feral. That's why he's so determined to make me his mate, to keep his sanity. The mate bond is what keeps our wolf's from going so insane and snapping over time, it keeps are emotions balanced. Getting lost in my thoughts once again which is becoming a very bad habit for me lately, I don't notice Lucifer leaning closer to my neck. He's not actually going to try marking me is he? The sharp sensation on my neck tell me he actually is going to try it.

I do the only thing I could do in this moment, I scream as loud as possible causing him to flinch from how high the pitch of it is and knee him in his special place. I know it's a cheap shot but this cannot happen! I see him curl over and decide this is it, Its now or never. I run like I've never ran before, the twigs are snapping beneath my feet, the branches are catching onto my skin but I don't care, they will heal as quick as they cut me. My lungs begin to feel tight and I can feel my legs slowing down, that was until I heard his growl echoing through the forest. He's shifted. I don't know if it was the growl or the thought of him finally catching me but it felt like someone had given me a fresh shot of adrenaline. My lungs are pumping, my breathing is becoming rapid but I can sense it. There's a border up ahead which means there's a pack near by. An actual pack with sane wolves and morals but it could also mean certain death for me, especially being a rogue. I may not show rogue tendencies but they'll sense I'm packless. It's time to choose, risk death from a pack that will see me as a feral animal or be caught by Lucifer which will definitely end in being marked and mated.

I'll take my chances with the packs land I'm about to come across.

"Aria don't you f*****g dare cross that border, do you hear me?! I will hunt you down and drag you off that land myself if I have too! And that's if they don't kill you first!" Lucifers attempt to get me to slow down was not going to work.

"Aria please stop they'll kill you!" Damien? He pushed past Lucifer.... No. I have to keep going, he can't control him anymore, it won't be safe for me.

Here we go Willow, now or never.

"Now or never aria" she replies sounding surprisingly confident. 

I close my eyes and keep running, it feel like the air is sucked out of my body. I've crossed the border, he can't touch me. As if my body knew this, I got a half way through the new forest before I started seeing spots.

"Aria stop running, we're safe" willow is trying to talk to me but I can't quite understand her...

"Willow?"

"Aria!"

Darkness, its closing in on me and for the first time for a while I decide to let it.
