Chapter 4
Marcella's Pov.
If there's any time you want to run away from the clutches of the demon, it shouldn't be at night because he controls the night and resides in darkness.
But unfortunately, I hadn't fixed this theory before I planned my escape out of the Midnight Stalkers Pack.
I've been trying to harness the meaning of this pack name and I guess I just found out.
I had packed and arranged my things in order patiently waiting for midnight to reach so I'd be able to sneak out.
Now here was midnight and I still didn't have the chance to escape... The whole street of the pack was filled with people.
Didn't they sleep or something? Because why would people still be loitering about by this time of the night!!!!
Well, I guess my picture-perfect laid-out plan didn't work out perfectly well the way I pictured it.
So I guess I don't have to add a time frame, whenever I get the opportunity, I'll zap out.
It was around 2 am, and I was fast asleep when something jolted me out of my slumber.
My whole body was covered in sweat as I tried to figure out what had made me jerk awake by that time of the night.
I just had this weird feeling that I was forgetting to do something!
And then it clicked, I was supposed to be on my escape mission. I rolled up the window blinds and peeked outside only to realize that the once bustling and bubbling streets of the Midnight Stalkers were as quiet as a hell hole.
Okay, I have no idea what a hell hole is....that idea just came on impulse and I had to let it out. Don't stare at me that way, I know I'm crazy.
I immediately grabbed my backpack which was filled with all the stuff I needed and set out. Getting out of the maid's quarters wasn't that hard because I was a maid. I knew the exits!
Perks of being close to Lycan King Grey at a certain time, I found out that there was a tunnel that led directly out of the pack house.
That was my hope, on arriving at the tunnel slide.....luckily for me, the guards were on patrol and had left the slide side.
Heaving a deep sigh and taking a long last look at the pack that should have been my home, I jumped into the tunnel.
Sliding and screaming at the same time as I slid down the slide, I managed to keep my eyes closed so that the darkness wouldn't terrify me.
And with a loud thud, my body hit the cold hard floor.
Wow, that was fast!!!
I stood up to survey my surroundings and saw the Midnight Stalkers Pack In the distance.
Finally away from the clutches of the demon.
Just as I thought of them, I spread my arms apart in ecstasy and took a deep relieving breath but then I noticed some eerie movements as I heard footsteps approaching.
If anyone caught me now, they would assume I was lost and take me back to the midnight Stalkers so I began journeying into the woods far away from the eyes of humanity.
I wondered how I would be able to survive this pregnancy all alone but then I knew that the moon goddess would always take care of me.
Well, would she still do that when I had just committed a first-hand crime by running away? I'm sure she would, of all people understand what it is I'd to face rejection.
Just then men appeared in front of me making me halt in my steps.
What? Where did they come from?
"What are you doing here?." One of them growled with a sick and terrifying look in his eyes.
Oh damn!!! What was I supposed to answer?
Studying them from a distance, I recognized them as rouges and I knew that I was done for so the only thing my brain could register at the moment was running away.
And just like I've learned in these past hours that running away actually helped, I ran!
I tried all I could to run in a circle to avoid running backward.
Anything that would warrant me to run back to the Midnight Stalkers was strictly avoided.
I just kept sprinting without even knowing how far I had come, all I knew was that these rouge wolves were in for me and it's just like they took an oath or something.....never to let me escape.
I was already out of breath when I caught sight of a Gigantic pack house with the letters "BLUE MOON PACK" written in bold letters.
I had no idea how this new pack would treat rouges as I had automatically become one the moment I ran but my survival instincts had no choice but to drag my feet into this unknown pack.
As I fled into the pack, the rouges that were after me immediately kept their distance but due to the adrenaline rush, I scampered till two firm hands grabbed a hold of me.
"Who is she?." I heard a deep, hoarse voice question with a tone filled with authority but somehow, his voice made the hairs at the back of my neck stand.
"No idea, my Lord!." The guards who were holding me firmly in place answered as they dragged me to the feet of the king, I presumed.
"What's your name?." The previous voice came again and no matter how dominating and authoritative the sound of his voice was, it calmed down my nerves.
Weird!!
When he asked for my name, I took the brave step of lifting my gaze to meet his and just then he relaxed against his royal seat.
"She is your Luna!!. " He growled and the guards who were holding me, left me immediately as they bowed in reverence.
Wait, what?
I was running away from one Alpha king who was my mate only to stumble on another!!
