Aria’s POV
Rogues… they surrounded me, their eyes glistening under the starry night as they circled me.
“ Look at what we caught tonight, and it’s extra meaty,” I heard one of them growl.
Another one sniffed the air and laughed,” we hit a jackpot fellas she’s an omega.” they howled in unison.
I swallowed hard as sweat beads fell from my forehead, I asked for a second chance and it too was going to be taken away.
“ Please spare me,” I said, my voice almost pleading.
“ Spare you ? No darling, we’re going to destroy and devour you doesn’t that sound better? “
“ Please,” I begged with trembling hands.
“ You want us to please you… we thought you'd never ask.”
My eyes widened with fear as they closed in on me, “ No please,” my voice cracked , I was outnumbered, five against one.
They grabbed me and dragged me to the ground when one of them commanded, “ hold her in place.” I was forced down on my knees landing on sharp piercing rocks, the pain made me hiss followed by the feeling of a warm liquid trickling down. He stood in front of me as the rest held onto my arms, they knew my body on its own was against me.
He reached out for my cheek, bending to my level. “ You’re going to be a good girl for us okay? You’ll do as we say and maybe we can spare you,” tucking a strand of hair behind my ear he continued. “ And if you don’t, we might as well have some spare ribs for dinner.”
I felt an urge to roll my eyes, but I had no defense. He straightened and began to unbuckle his belt, pulling out his d**k and letting it hang there and face to face with it. “ Open up,”
But I pursed my lips together, tucking them in. “ stubborn b***h huh,” they looked at each other and grin surfaced his face, he took a step back and swung his boot, I tumbled backwards as it connected to my stomach.
“ Pin her,” he commanded again and they held all my limbs in place, I tried to fight and push them away but all my struggle was in vain. I cried and pleaded but they all turned a deaf ear. He held the waist bands of my pants and just as he started to pull them down, I closed my eyes as tears ran down freely,” Moon goddess please save me,” I cried. Before I could open my eyes a liquid splattered all over my face, and when I opened my eyes, the two rogues holding my hands froze, eyes wide in which as an arrow ran from the middle of their head to the back.
My blood ran cold , I felt my blood pale like I had just seen a ghost.
“ What the f**k,” the other two uttered in unison as they watched their friends dropped dead beside me.
“ Lary, Bosco get up,”the other two let go of my legs rushing to their sides. “ Lucas, they're dead…these arrows they’re not normal arrows.”
“ Where the hell did they come …” he stopped mid sentence. Another arrow, piercing right through his chest, but somehow he pulled it out. “ Show yourself ,” he uttered , holding the arrow in his hands as they shook violently.
A figure from the shadows stepped out, dressed in an all black attire, his arrows bag on his back bow in hand, then his scent hit me and it smelled so familiar, burnt wood , frost and pine.
“ You’re a cheat, you have arrows and we don’t come here and let’s fight like real men.” The three got up walking towards him, that was my only chance to escape. I sat up, folding my knees to push myself up , I hissed through the pain but I managed to get up. And when I looked at the figure standing before them, I stood still for a while even though it was dark. I could see his face a little bit clearly.
He dropped his arrow and transformed into his wolf form, and I immediately recognized him because there was only one wolf with fur as dark as the midnight sky “ Damian,” I whispered to myself and in seconds he ripped them all apart, pieces of flesh decorated the ground accompanied by a metallic scent being carried in the wind like sending off a sign.
Damian transformed back into his form, his features now clear as he stood inches away from me. Eyes as dark as the midnight sky, with long black hair that framed his face defining his chiseled jawline, which was under a layer of a black beard. He resembled his older brother, except his physique was more muscular and he had a gallery of tattoos.
“ What is a beautiful lady like you doing here all alone in the middle of the night,” he said, his voice deep and husky as always.
“ I-I…” I had no idea what I was going to tell him or where to start from, because there was no way I was going to tell him his older brother Kael killed me and I woke up in the body of an omega and was making my way back to Silverfang. Then I remembered I was not Lydia now , I was Aria…Aria Whitlock.
“ Well, I ran away from my pack…I couldn’t take it anymore. Everyone bullied me for my weight and the man I thought loved me left me for another woman and I…I ” I paused as if trying not to sob, his gaze was locked on me as of searching for something familiar.
“ It’s okay you don’t have to explain yourself…I am Damian Duskwood, Beta of Silverfang.”
“ I am Aria Whitlock of…” I stopped mid sentence searching for what to say. “ Just Aria, I don’t have a pack anymore.”
“ Aria Whitlock of Silverfang pack,” he said stretching his hand.“ Come with me, you won’t have to worry about having a pack. I’ll speak with our Alpha, he’s my brother so don’t worry about it.”
Damian finished the rest of my plan without knowing it, excitement bubbled in me. “ Really? Do you mean it ?”
“ Yes I do.”
That meant I was going to see my Kael after all, “ thank you so much Dayday.“ the words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them.
“ Did you just call me Dayday?” he asked.
“ I…”
Dayday was a name I had come him, and only I well Lydia called him by that name.
“ Yes I did , a friend of mine also had their first and last name start with D and I called them Dayday.”
“ Sorry , it’s just that someone special to me died and she used to call me Dayday.”
“ Oh,” I said. “ What happened ?”
“ No one knows, her body was out here in the forest , we assume she came for a run and was ambushed by rogues. That’s why I’m out here. Trying to find the culprit behind this.”
My heart sank , he put my body in the forest and pinned it on the rogues. I could feel my tears sting in the corner of my eyes. And Damian was out here looking for a culprit when in actual sense it was his brother.
“ Are you okay?” He asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
“ Yes I’m fine, I was just thinking about how I would have been dead by now if it wasn’t for you.”
“ Don’t mention it,”
He whistled in a tune and soon his horse came galloping. Xavier.. his favorite horse he stretched his hands out to grab the tassel, but it passed him and stopped in front of me. Did he recognize me? I lifted my hand and brushed his cheek and he placed his head on my.
“ That’s odd,” arched his brow. “ Xavier never lets anyone touch him except…”
Except Lydia, of course he recognized me and I kept my fingers crossed that wouldn’t blow my cover. “ Maybe he senses my aura,” I forced a smile. “I used to tend to horses in my former pack.”
“ It’s getting late, let's get going.”
Now I was more curious about my death, even more than Damian. What was my body doing in the forest ?
