The Alpha's Contractual Human Mate

Unedited 14

I flinched as a hand touched my shoulder, causing me to jump frantically. My eyes nearly popped out, and my mouth was wide open. I tried to flee, but the man in my back grabbed my arms.

"It's just me," Ace stated. I sighed in relief before turning to face him, irritated. "You scared me!" I exclaimed, half-shouting, half-whispering, scanning his entire appearance. I can't tell who he is because he's wearing so many clothes.

"What's that?" I poited out the stains left in his shirt.

"Don't mind that", He said grabbing my hand walking.

"Nice talent in acting." He commented smirking.

"Just shut up." I rolled my eyes at him as he chuckled deeply. "Pfft you didn't even read the engraved name huh?"

“Oh come on, i***t. I just can't find a way out and to escape that man so I decided to use my superb acting.” I laughed shaking my head as I remembered what I did.

“Fake", he mumbled before he walked fastly leaving me behind. We come in into the forest like cemetery wherein tall trees can be seen anywhere and tombs are between those gigantic ones.

He never said any word but I followed him and almost bumped when he suddenly stopped.

“Is that already my mom's grave?" Though with a huge question lingering in my mind, I checked whom he stopped. I don't know why I felt my mom's presence is still alive. I didn't pay attention much about it but what if my mom isn't dead? I looked directly on it and I didn't feel anything. I didn't feel a connection.

I cleaned the small mosses and grasses sprouted in the grave. I caressed the engraved marmol and my head started to throbbed.

“Ouch”, I brought back my hand on my side and massaged my head. “What happened?” he inquired but I shook my head in an attempt to shake it off and never mind the pain.

“Lets go home. You need to take restnfor your safety and your baby”. I looked at him blurry and my head throbbed more.

A howl were heard from afar and Ace and my eyes rounded when our eyes met. “f**k”, he cursed silently and snatched my arms to come with him. My head hurts the most but I can't do anything as he pulled me with him.

“Can you be gentle?” I whispered in him but I heard footsteps from afar. Ace didn't bother considering what I've said as he ran with me in his full speed. “Damn, I'm not a wolf!” I angrily muttered at him.

We almost ran for a few minutes now and my feet are also aching together with my head.

Ace pulled me behind the large tree and looked at me with his serious and empty eyes. “Stay here until I came back. I'll lure them away. ” He seriously said and I nod my head.

“Please come back”, I weakly mumbled as he pushed me down gently so I can sit on the dried leaves.

“Hmmm”, he replied and in a flash, he was already out of my sight. I remained on my position and deal with my headache. I was trying to calm and meditate when I heard a growl near my hiding place. My heart beats faster. I can't control my breathing but I closed my eyes to think of a way on how to survived in this play of these wolves.

“You are the chosen one.”

“You are the girl in the Oracle. The one that will test the flow of everything. You are the one. The chosen one.” I opened my eyes and my breath hitched. It was all dark but i can hear sounds and voices of people.

“Boooooo!!!!!” I was surprised and shocked when someone appeared in front of me.

“You can't escape on us, ARIELLA".
