CHAPTER SIX : CAPTURED ALIVE!
1054 Words
My lips curled into a smile matching hers as I replied, “On point.”
“Did you get the keys?” I asked, watching as she dipped her hand into her large pocket almost immediately and brought the bunch out. “And they say omegas are the dumb ones,” she mocked, moving to open my cell gate, careful enough not to burn herself.
Yulia freed me in no time as we moved out of the dungeon immediately.
I kept my shoulders straight when I passed some pack members who were littered around the pack house.
I knew my father must have kept my imprisonment a secret to protect his reputation, so they had no idea that I was supposed to be locked up, which was good.
I breathed heavily, as my body grew weak and exhausted from running…still having the drugs flowing in my system. But the second we stepped
closer to Yulia’s cabin, the pack alarm echoed loudly around the entire place, alongside the commissioned voice.
“The Alpha’s daughter has escaped. She is a traitor. The Alpha had ordered for her to be captured alive!”
“s**t!” Yulia cursed in panic, and I froze in fear.
Her gaze snapped to me, knowing we were on the verge of being caught.
My eyes sighted her car some feet away, as we ran towards it knowing our lives depended on it.
But my body was far too weak, already passing its limit.
I could feel the thumping, along with ‘howls’ of wolves which echoed all around knowing they must have started searching for us now.
“Just a few more feet, Alina!” Yulia growled, seeing me slow down. But I could feel it…the way the ground swirled beneath my feet.
I tried to call out to my wolf for help, but she was non-existent, I couldn’t feel her at all. And my human body was too weak to run anymore. I knew clearly that any second now, warriors would burst in on us.
I half expected Yulia to run and leave me there, after all, seeing that I was slowing her down. I would not be killed if I were caught, not when my father still needed me.
But as for her, my father would not hesitate to kill her, because she was seen as a nobody in the pack.
But Yulia slowed down for me, taking my arm around her shoulders, and she ran dragging me alongside. And finally into her deadbeat car.
The moment she pushed me in, and I landed on the seat, with a pained groan, my eyes caught something in the side mirror.
It was warriors in their beast form chasing after us. Yulia’s hands clenched around the steering wheel tightly as she sped up into the night, but deep down I knew it…We were too late.
I could only pray to the moon goddess to help us survive this as my breathing slowed down, and I could barely keep my eyes open again, as I succumbed to darkness.
“Drag her out,” a loud voice roared as my eyes snapped open.
I stared in confusion while taking in my surroundings.
But then, my gaze stilled when it landed on the wolf before me as he transformed into his human form pushing a bloodied Yulia roughly on the ground.
“You b***h, you thought you could escape with Alina,” another voice growled. And this time, a familiar one, making me snap my head to the side.
My breath caught in my throat when I watched Marcel appear beside the warrior with a wrist wrapped around a sword.
Yulia twisted her body in the grip of the wolf who held her as she tried to fight him off and escape, but it was useless.
Marcel stepped closer to her, his lips curled in a snarl, “You poisoned me, and then you tried to take my mate away from me!
You made a really bad mistake messing with me, you foolish omega!
And I’m afraid it will cost you your life,” he growled cruelly, a sadistic smirk on his face.
And right then, he looked nothing like the Marcel I was ready to lay down my life a few hours ago.
No…not at all, rather he looked like a devil, one I hated with every pore in my body.
Sensing my heavy gaze on him, my senses dulled when his thick brown eyes turned to face mine, as he held my gaze. And then, his lips twisted into a dark and triumphant smile, knowing he had won.
Before I could comprehend exactly what was happening, Marcel raised his sword in the air and brought it down within the blink of an eye ready to detach Yulia’s head from her body.
My body moved before barely caring about anything else except saving my best friend as I ran, pushing Yulia out of the way just in the nick of time. But then, apparently, not enough time, because the sword struck down towards me before I could move out of the way.
Marcel’s eyes widened in shock and fear seeing me there, but it was too late already as a shout of pain ripped from my throat.
“Wake up, Alina!” A voice said, but it was dull compared to the scream that echoed in the air.
“Shssh, it’s okay. It’s just a nightmare, Alina,” the voice came again, sounding more familiar, shaking me forcefully. And that was enough to snap my eyes open as I stood from the bed with a jerk.
My heart pounded erratically against my chest. “I’m here, Alina, stop screaming,” her feminine voice said, and only then did I realize the scream came from me and I clamped my lips shut.
Recollecting myself as I calmed down, my gaze moved immediately to the familiar face before me.
“Yulia,” I whispered her name as she wrapped her arms around me, and I breathed in her scent. My breathing was still heavy, as I held her close, happy that she was alive and it was just a dream.
“Where are we?” I asked, finally taking in the unfamiliar place.
Her face twisted sadly as she said, “The human realm.”
