(RUDER'S POV)
I hear an arrow whirr past my head and onto a large tree, behind which I'm standing. f**k that was close, I growl, very alert now.
The arrow is still pinned to the tree and I do not so much as even give it a glance, I am more interested in whoever had the guts to send an arrow my way.
I try to sniff the person out and I find that all that is left of the scent is a wolf's and it seems that the harder I try to sniff them out, the faster the scent is erasing itself.
I am baffled as to this development when I remember the reason why I'm alone trying to sniff out some i***t. Endra.
I can't find Endra.
I immediately try to mind link him.
Endra?
Endra?
Where the hell are you?
Can you hear me?
Oh s**t! Alpha!
I hear his response, oh my goddess, what is wrong with this i***t beta, if he's fine, why isn't he here?
Alpha! Trouble! I've been nabbed!
It's the Panthing Wolves pack,
They're taking me to the..
I hear a loud growl from Endra from afar and I realize that the mind link has been cut off. Oh my goddess, my eyes are suddenly glowing a red light and my wolf is about to let loose all sanity..
I dash with my topmost speed to where I had heard that shout but once there, i cannot find Endra, my fangs are itching to be sunk into fur and I am so pissed that I let out a long howl of anger.
There is blood splattered in the surroundings though and without sniffing,
I know with a surety that it is definitely Endra's.
That is all that is on my mind. Endra.

Well, Richevil is not so far far away from here anyway, I reason and make up my mind to take that drastic step. Richevil, anticipate my coming.
I look at the time on my phone and I exclaim cause I've been here dilly dallying with my thoughts for more than 2 hours, it should take me 30 minutes tops to get back to the house,
lock up and pretend I'd never been out before the 'occupants of that house' returned home from the different places they just have gone, I calculate.
I make a dash from where I am seated, i call another taxi that takes me all the way back to the house, and lucky me, no one's home yet, I take the stairs and get into the room.
I turn the knob and lock up like I'd never been out.
After settling down and getting into more comfortable clothes, I open my messages on my phone and I find that I have none as usual, God knows why I even check if I have messages or not.
I never ever do.
I then log onto i********: to check up on the people I'm following, I mean, they very obviously need my comments and likes, as long as I'm their loyal fans. I check first for my Tay Tay, and there are some new posts.
After scrolling through the Gram I suddenly feel sad. With everything that is happening, and all, it's terrible.
I've been here all my life and the reality that I want to move out of my supposed parents house suddenly sinks in.
Fuck. My life is so f*****g sad I conclude before proceeding to cry and cry and cry, I do not notice that the entire family is home already, the turning of the door, the houses, sounds, I am oblivious to them all, my tears drowning out and my wails swallowing up other sounds that want to come close to my ears.
When I wake up the next day, that would be the 15th day that I haven't see anyone, no friends to call after me and none of my family members were even eager to see me of course, that would be the 18th day since Sammie and I. Well,
I should be moving out in the next two days, let's make it another even number; besides I need to pack and strategies, as much as I just want to up and leave, I also want to make sure I know what I'm doing and where I'm going, so I want to go to Rich evil
l. Check things out and know with a suretythatatt I'm not making the wrong decision. So I'm going to wait till everyone's out again and then find my latitude.
(RUDER'S POV)
Back at the pack, I have summoned the elders and the powerhouses in my pack and I have told them the situation.
It is blatant disrespect to nabb my beta as the leader of pack, so I request that we do things with wisdom and storm their pack as a declaration of battle, deal with the wolves, because we are the stronger pack and I have no idea what is going on in their f****d up heads to even conceive doing such a thing.
So imagine my f*****g disappointment when storming the pack is ruled out, I mean? What the actual f**k?
"It has been ruled and accepted by the elder of the council that since it is only one wolf that had been nabbed, of course they dare not take his life, we will redeem him by negotiation.
There will be no warring of packs with the support of the powerhouses, no matter what your rule is, pack leader.
This is our verdict."
The eldest elder said to me and i am just so blinded by anger cause wow!
I do not even have a say?
Blame me! f*****g blame me for even having it in mind to take the power and approval of the elders with me.
In the cruelest, most rebellious way that I can, I flash them a smile, and walk off into the distance.
They will hear of what I will do. And they will cower and beg my forgiveness, I vow to myself.
Chapter 3.
Few hours later.
(RUDER'S POV)
I hear a high pitched scream come from the Luna that I have just attacked, her Alpha, long dead, and that scream disturbs me so much that I do not even bother giving her a slim chance to redeem herself with a good fight against my strength,
I just rip her head off and it rolls then lolls to the side where her Alpha's is. Well well well, the last of these cowardly bitches, I sigh then rub off the blood on my paws onto one of the bodies around me.
I have just finished off the Panting Wolves pack and it is not surprising; blame me as I said for seeking approval from the elders in the first place.
Now, unto looking for Endra. I mind link him urgently, hoping that since I'm nearer to where he is, he can connect to me, he is definitely here, I can almost feel him in the air, his being. The feeling is coming to me in waves and for once I am confused.
Endra?
Endra, can you hear me?
Or feel me?
A.l.p.h.a.
I hear him draw out with difficulty and I immediately sense that he is in pain, so resisting the anger that is about to boil over again, I ask him..
Where are you? Do you know where?
I'm here in the packhouse already.
I'm.. .. in… the.. .. dungeon
Their.. .. … dungeon.
It's east of the main pack house
You'll feel me once you're nearer.
Endra? Endra?!
That's the last thing I hear him say before the mindlink is forcefully cut off. f**k!
Meanwhile..
(RITA'S POV)
Finally, I am here!
Richevil, here I am!
The moving vehicle is in front of my new home, I've paid off all the necessary things and gotten the needed documents, the only one thing I haven't done is meet or speak to my roommate. I'd postponed it for so long.
Thankfully and quite easily, since day 18th, I'd begun packing up my stuff silently and quietly to avoid attention and I mostly did the huge stuffs when no one was home anyway.
I didn't for once even go visit Sammie, I mean..My state of mind is no where close to see him.
I put a call through to my roommate, I'd gotten his cell number from the agent who'd helped me with my documents and whatnot.
"Hello, who ever is this?"
He picks up on the first ring and this is what I hear him say, uh oh.
I am suddenly speechless.
"Hullo?" He intones again and suddenly and thankfully, might I add, the cat finally lets go of my tongue.
"Uh hi! My name is Rita and I'm your new roommate, i bet Mr Reynolds told you about me. The new girl? Ring a bell?"
"Oh you! You you you! Oh my gosh! When are you moving in Darling?"
He sounds excited for some weird reason, but shrugs
.
"Uh, tricky question, cause I'm right out here already.
About to move in, if you'd please!"
"Oh my days. You should have called earlier, I am coming right out sweetheart."
He says and the call is cut. Huh. Strange guy, strange, there's definitely something wrong with his manner of speaking.
"Baby girlllll!' I see a slender man, almost my man almost my own stature, tanned skin and beautiful and that smile, f**k!,
Bounding towards me like a long lost friend. He gives me a big hug and weirdly, I don't feel repulsed or scared, I mean?
We're talking about a stranger I have never seen in my entire life, much less spoken to.
"Hi, I'm Rita" I smile and hope that's warm enough right after he releases me from that hug.
"Hello Rita, you look like a pretty lost thing, I'm Jeremy, my friends call me Aloha though, your pick"
"Hello Jeremy, it's a pleasure to meet you" I pick the more conservative name, I'm not the type to call people names they are not, without full specific reasons, let's all be normal,
aye? Aye!
'I'm not going to talk about all my fears as to meeting you and all that.. I'll just rather pretend I knew you were going to be a great roommate already" I say half heatedly.
Hoping that even if he wasn't a good person, which he does seem to be already though, he'll at least treat me well as his roommate.
"Aw baby girl, you were thinking about me already? That's so f*****g sweet love.
I'm flattered" he answers me and my first thought is wait, did he even hear me?
That's just funny and cute.
Oh well, whatever, I think might just be liking this guy. Jeremy.
I signal the movers to start taking my things in after I get a nod of approval from Jeremy.
I speak to Jeremy for most of the time while scrolling through i********: at other times,
we talk a lot and I'm rather glad that we have quite a lot of things to say to each other and more importantly, he's not a self absorbed asshole.
He offers his i********: handle and I proceed to check him out on there. f**k!
This guy is so freaking cool and he still is able to hold normal conversations?
Fuck man f**k.
Back home.
(It's the evening and everyone in the Reynolds family has just come home from different places.)
"Enzal, I think your sister has had enough fun by herself, can you get her to come down here?
Break open the door if you have to, you can't just stay in your room for two weeks and not come out! She might have committed suicide, who knows?"
Mrs Reynolds said to Enzal, her first son, while Rana was quick to reply..
"Mom, first of all, Rits isn't the type to commit suicide, two, mom, you can't just ask Enzal to break open the door.
Again, that's a violation of protected privacy.
What if she's n***d or something?."
"Quit yapping Rana, this is not a conversation you should be part of. Don't you have a paper to deliver or something?"
"Wow mom, wow" Rana walks away in the direction of her room, huffing and puffing like one who has been wronged.
