The Alpha's Immortal Mate

ESCAPE

***ELARA'S POV***

“Mum, don't leave me... Please!” I beg as I continue to chase my mother through a dark forest. I could only see her back view, she is far ahead of me but I recognize her well, I don't need to see her face to know she's my mother. I could hear another voice calling out to me from behind but I refuse to answer, I just want my mother back, I want my life back and I'm hopeful that if I catch her, everything will be back to normal but my hopes die down when the forest suddenly disappears, along with my mother.

I find myself in the middle of the ocean, my legs slowly giving way and sinking into the icy waters. I'm not a good swimmer so I struggle, trying to stay on the surface. I could still hear the voice calling out to me and soon an image began to materialize but before I could make it out, my face submerge in water. I trash and gasps for air and that's when I open my eyes, my body drench yet again. A scorn appear on my face as I scan the room and everyone in it. Why couldn't they just wake me up the normal way? I didn't ask to be here, I didn't ask for any of this.

I cough a bit, trying to catch my breath while wondering what that dream meant. The voice wasn't one that I recognize and if I had stayed a while longer, I would have seen the image.

“You seem to be comfortable with your new room.” I could sense sarcasm in his tone but I chose to ignore it. His gaze darkens and he takes a step closer. I tug at the chains that bound my hands, it's useless trying to break them with my weak state.

“Why haven't you killed me yet? Do you really believe me to be a goddess?” I ask, trying to hold his gaze even with my trebling body. He isn't holding a knife or any deadly weapon and yet I always shake uncontrollably when he is close to me, no matter how brave I try to act.

“I don't care what you are or what you're not.” He turns to one of his men, they stare at each other for a while like they are having a secret conversation. My gaze diverts to the woman by the door, her expression is blank but her eyes gives away her emotions. It made me realize something bad is going to happen. Is he finally going to kill me?

The man approaches me and removes the chains from my hands. I stare at them, feeling perplexed but then again I remember I am no longer in chains. I could escape, I have to escape or I may regret it. I silently count the number of men in the room. Three guards outside, two inside and then Alpha Kian. I doubt the woman will try to stop me if I make a run for it since she obviously feels sorry for me.

“I wouldn't try anything stupid if I were you.” Kian doesn't look at me when he says this but I know he is addressing me. The man effortlessly lifts me up like I weigh nothing and begins dragging me towards the exit. I embrace myself for my next action, it could get me killed but then again I'm already dead if I stay here. The moment I'm outside the room, I yank my hand from his hold and make a run for it. I know it's impossible to escape them but I keep running, waiting to be stopped and dragged back. I don't know where I'm running to, I pass several buildings and yet no one has stopped me. It's like they let me go on purpose, probably waiting for me at the end or something but I don't care, I won't waste this opportunity.

I notice I am approaching a forest, it must be a demarcation as there isn't any building around this area. I'm out of breath but I don't stop running. I'm almost at the forest and a smile appear on my face, I'm free, I'm finally free. I get curious as to why no one is chasing me and turn around but that one movement cost me my freedom. The sight before me sent me to the ground as fear grip my entire body, making me numb for while. All these while I thought I wasn't being chased but that is because I never looked back. The moment I fell, I got surrounded by four giant wolves, their eyes blazing with anger and their sharp canines sneering at me.

“Did you really think it'll be that easy?” I hear his deep alluring voice, mixed with slight displeasure.

I turn around to see him standing close to the forest, how did he get there before me? That explains why I was able to get this far, because he already knows where he would meet me. I couldn't utter a word as my voice suddenly vanish from the fear of getting attacked by those beasts.

“Humans, always thinking there's a way out, always being hopeful when they shouldn't.” He snicker and I shiver. I hate myself for being too fragile, for being so weak and trembling so much before these beasts. They would never be seen as people to me but cold blooded murderers, blood sucking beasts and Kian... He's the devil himself.

“If I'm human like you say, why keep me locked up? Let me go and I swear I won't say anything about this.”

“Of course you wouldn't, you won't have a head by the time I let you go. I wanted to go easy on you but you've proven yourself unworthy.” He reply, glancing over to the creatures around me. “Kill her.”

“Wait-” I scream, holding my chest as my heartbeat skyrocket. He raised a brow at me, waiting to hear my excuse but I had none, I didn't know what to say to get myself out of this mess. I asked for death before so why am I scared now?

“Alpha Kian.” I hear Celeste's voice from behind and let out a sigh of relief.

“I don't need her to be alive to extract her blood.” Kian stated coldly.

“Yes you do, she's a goddess Alpha -”

“She doesn't deserve that title. She's weaker than a mouse!” Kian thundered.

“Give her until her 18th birthday at least. If nothing changes then you can kill her and me as well for saving her life twice.” Celeste said and I widen my eyes. Why would she put her life on the line for me? What if she's wrong and I'm nothing more than a weak human?

“You have so much fate in this one Celeste... She will be the death of you.” Kian stated as he walk pass me but halted a feet away, turning his head to the side. “Let this never repeat itself, I don't give second chances.” He stated calmly but it carried a lot of threats which killed my resolve to escape. If I must escape here, then I need to do it properly, I need to wait until I'm stronger, I need to have fate in Celeste's words and hope my 18th birthday give me the so called power of a goddess.

For now I will submit to Kian, I will endure whatever they throw at me until the time is right, and Kian's head will be the first to roll.
