Alpha King's Omega Queen

Run Away

MELODY'S POV~

"MELODY LAMBERT!" I chuckle hearing the angry voice of none other than my one and only friend Isla who is marching towards me raking her fingers through her long, pretty auburn hair. She is the only one in the pack who doesn't care about the alpha's order.

"Yes, your highness." I politely joke with a serious face, masking my giggling self to make her more furious than before.

Isla and I have been friends since childhood. She has never cared about what others say about me because for her, I can't even harm a fly so killing my parents is out of the topic. Alas, no one other person believes in this.

"Don't you dare joke with me, Melody!" Isla yells while the scowl on her face deepens. I pout and turn back to the window, staring out at the wild ocean as the coastal air blows my fiery red hair.

"Why didn't you tell me, bestie?" I bite my lower lip as I look at Isla plastering a smile on my face.

"I am getting married and here you are questioning me like I have done something horribly wrong." I let out while she shakes her head.

"No, you are not getting married. Not to that old man who thinks women are only good for playing." She replies making me sigh.

"Everything is already fixed, Isla. I am getting married to Alpha Carter in the next week." I let out with a smile although I doubt she is going to believe my fake smile.

"Melody, you can't just agree with whatever alpha asked you to do. You are your own person and have every right to oppose the things you don't like. Hell, that creepy Carter guy is 35 years old and you are only 18. There is a huge age gap between you both. Not only that, he is not even your mate." She exclaims angrily.

I know practically nothing about Alpha Carter aside from the fact that he is well known for his reputation of being ruthless, mean and scary. Yet, when Master Matthew told me that I am to marry Alpha Carter, I couldn't decline because I know if I declined then the punishment would be too severe for me to handle. Also, it's not like I have any power to oppose seeing I am an omega with no purpose in life.

The Red Fang pack has been providing security to the Black Lupus Pack which is our pack. We are not a very big pack, but Master Matthew wants to make our pack bigger and stronger. That's why he has made a deal with Alpha Carter to give me to him and get 2000 new pack members. So, basically I am being sold to Alpha Carter for 2000 new pack members.

When I got to know the real reason behind the sudden wedding, I wanted to kill myself. But Arya stopped me saying that we couldn't kill ourselves because we need to wait for our mate. A mate who may not even look for us.

"I have an idea to stop the wedding." My head snaps to look at Isla who is grinning from ear to ear.

"What is it?" I ask eagerly.

"You can run away from here." She replies making me sigh in defeat.

"Why are you sighing like my idea is not going to work?" She asks putting her hands on her hip.

"Because it's not going to work. Do you really think I have the courage to run away? Also, how am I supposed to run away when I can't even shift into my wolf form." I reply folding my clothes.

"I know that you can't shift to your wolf form yet but you can ride on the back of my wolf form." She says taking the clothes out of my hands.

"What are you talking about, Isla? Please don't tell me you are planning to run away too?" I ask horrified at her suggestion.

"Yes, I want to run away too and that's why I want you to come with me. Look, bestie my mate is not here and I want to find him or her. But my parents are not allowing me to leave the pack to go look out for my mate. So, when I heard about your wedding with Alpha Carter I decided to run away from this awful pack. Now, you just need to accompany me." She answers looking at me hopefully.

"I like her plan, Mel. In this way, we can find our mate too." Arya lets out making me gulp in anticipation.

"But what if we get caught?" I ask fearfully.

"Then we will accept any punishment given to us. At least, we can assure our minds that we have tried to get away from here." She replies gently.

I look at Isla who is still staring at me with a hopeful look. I think about the consequences and decided to go with the plan of running away. As Arya said, we need to try to get away from here before our lives become more horrible.

"I will go with you." I let out while Isla pulls me into a tight hug.

"Now, you don't have to worry about getting married to that old hag." She says after pulling away from the hug.

------------

"Alpha Carter is with Darla again."

"At this rate, Darla will become the luna of the Red Fang Pack."

"As she should, it's rightfully her place."

I try not to listen to their conversation, but that proves to be difficult when the pair are hardly two meters away from me.

The girls of the pack hate me from the very start but after learning about my wedding with Alpha Carter, it seems their hatred has gone higher. Actually, there were under the impression that Alpha Carter would make one of them his luna. They think it's unfair when I am not destined for him which I don't disagree with. But I can't go against the high rankers.

"Are you deaf?" The blonde girl asks rudely making me blink my eyes at her not understanding what she is talking about.

"I asked you to clean the floor or do you want Alpha Matthew to find dust?" The brunette taunts.

A shudder runs through my body at the mention of Alpha Matthew. The last time when Alpha Matthew had found dust on the floor, he had tortured me for straight two days in front of everyone including the pups.

However, before I can reply Alpha Carter's voice comes from downstairs making me panic. From the moment I have learned about the wedding, I am dreading meeting Alpha Carter. I don't want to be his luna but my days are nearing making me more scared than ever.

When I hear Alpha Carter calks for my name, I think I have just imagined it. But when the girls push me towards the stairs, I panick realizing that Alpha Carter is really here for me. Signing with defeat, I quickly scurry downstairs where I know he will be.

As I reach the bottom of the stairs, my eyes immediately zone in on the tall male who is dressed in a black suit. Alpha Carter is a good-looking man and I am sure any woman will feel lucky to be near him. But I am not that woman because I don't want to be near him.

"Ah, my love," His voice brings me back to reality when he notices me."There you are, I missed you so much."

He mutters making me cringe inwardly. Being around him, make me scared and nervous to my core. He intimidates me and has made his authority clear to me a long time ago. From the time, I have met him I know things will be different and that's why I have tried to avoid him at any cost.

"As promised, my pack will officially meet their Luna tomorrow." He says smiling at me but I don't find anything good behind his smile.

"But we are not married yet." I try to make excuse.

"I have changed the plan. First, I will introduce you as my mate and then we will get married." He answers.

"I am not ready." I urge shaking my head.

"You will be. I have everything prepared and everyone is already expecting you." He remarks.

"But.." I manage to croak before he cuts me off.

"I want you and I will have you." He says sternly while my brows knitted together at his words.

"I have a few things to do before tomorrow. I will see it so that you have everything and if there is anything else you need, just let me know." With a smirk on his face, he darts away leaving me alone completely frozen.

The sobs that I have held back for so long finally escape my mouth and I drop to my knees. My dream of leaving the pack and finding my mate is completely shattered.

"No, it's not. We still have time to run away." Arya says through the link.

"But how are we going to do that?" I ask.

"We will leave tonight when everyone will be asleep." She replies before disappearing into the back of my mind.
