Branka's POV
I hurried my steps.
When it got to a point, I started to run, when it felt as though my feet were too slow. I could make my way around the place even in the darkness. It was as though because this is not my first time going through this.
But this time around it was for my freedom. I can't imagine what would happen to me if I was caught right now. Forget being r***d, I'll be killed this time around for real and even Dorian's father would not be able to do anything about it.
Suddenly, it was as though I heard footsteps behind me. My heart started to pound fast and my eyes widened.
Tears started to fall from my eyes and I continued. I was already in the woods now. My leg got stuck in a twig and I fell on my face. A feeling of deja Vu rushd over me. My breathing started coming in shorts pants and it felt as though I was hearing the voices and cackling if the people that used to bully me then.
But then there was silence.
I saw a big tree not far away from me, so I crawled over there with my meager belongings and hid behind it. My leg started to bleed really fast and that was when I saw that the gash was immensely deep and the pain I felt started to be real.
I could not see much but I could make out the blood that was already all over the floor.
Shit.
The. I heard voices. They were near and they were talking.
“Why would she be the only person not around now? And why is the alpha king making this mandatory?” One said. I clutched my hands to my chest in fear of being caught.
“He does not make an appearance at all, now that he has, he's putting us through all this trouble to find a measly omega.” The other one grumbled.
My heart lept inside my mouth. They are looking for me? How? Why?
Oh God. My end is definitely here.
“Let's go. She should not have made it this far. Maybe she left the pack finally. I've always pitied the girl.” One said.
“There is nothing to pity about her. She's the cause of her own downfalls. Imagine not having a wolf. What kind of life would you live then?” The one with the hard voice said.
“Well, I can't imagine that. Let's go.” I almost started to sigh in relief when their footsteps stopped.
“Can you smell that? Smells like blood.” Oh God. My end is actually here. They know already.
My lips trembled against each other as I tried as much as possible not to break my character of keeping myself in order. But I did. I think I gasped out and they heard.
“There you are.” The one with the harsh voice said. He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me out. I'm sure they did not need light because of their extraordinary vision.
A scream tore through my lungs as his grip tightened in my hair.
“Please.” A plea came from my lips and he slapped me on the face. Pain radiates through my body. It was not like I was not used to all of the pain, but being hit nothing less than an hour ago, and again now, allowed the pain to resonate well.
“You f*****g bitch.” He sneered in my face. I know this because I could feel his face close to mine and also, his spit on my face.
“What do you think this is huh? A hide and seek game that you can do the way you want? If you had wanted to hide, you should have been able to do it better than this.”
“I'm sorry. Please, let me go. I won't bother you again. “ I pleaded again, tears rolling down my face because of the pain I was going through. From my head down to my leg.
“We've been ordered to bring you back. So just cooperate and you won't be hurt.” The other one said.
“Or maybe I should continue what Damon started the other time? That is why you ran, is it not?” I could feel the snicker behind his voice.
“Ah..pl..” I was hit again.
“Shut it. I would not touch you with a ten foot pole if I had the chance.” He said and I sighed internally with relief. At least, I would not have to fight about my virginity again right now.
Before I knew what was happening, we were going back in the direction of the pack house. I did not even bother to fight about it any longer. I could already see my end in front of me, so why would I?
The only issue I had right now is that I might later come down with tetanus before me I was killed the gash in my leg was paining me real bad and I don't even know what to do about it.
The pack house came into view and tears started to roll down my vision. I don't know what I'll do again right now. It will all end here.
When we entered, they stopped in front of the door to the banquet hall to look me over.
“You don't want to meet with the already angry Alpha king the way you look right now and there is no time to change. So, how about you fux your look just a little bit? Clean up a little and try to fit your fat ass back in your clothes? Huh?” I looked down at my chest and discovered that my breasts were outside and I quickly, shame wearing me down.
I quickly tried to cover myself the best I could before the door was opened and I was pushed inside. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw inside the ballroom.
It was filled to the brim. I was at the end because there were many people and I could not even see what was in front of me. From what I could discover here as of right now, most people were the rich people if he pack, with their glamorous dresses. But there were omegas that work in the pack and all of the betas. It was almost as though everyone in the pack was here.
Suddenly, the crowd started to part and I was at the end of it. I saw as people moved, but I was stuck in one position, I don't know why. I was supposed to move but it was as though my feet were stuck to the ground and I could not move.
Right in front of my eyes, the people parted completely, and I could see the person that was at the other end and my heart dropped to my feet.
It was him.
