MY BEST FRIEND WANTS ME DEAD.
Dominic's P.O.V
'Does he really have to try to kill me on my birthday?' I asked the wolf laying in front of me.
The only person who can be behind my early morning attempted murder is Rolland.
I get that he is greedy and covets my position as Alpha, but does he really have to come after me like this?
I mean we are half brothers who used to have a great relationship with each other, before the decision was announced.
It's not my fault that the Moon Goddess chose me as our clan's Alpha.
I know I'm not the only full blood alpha in the clan.
My wolf being the largest doesn't make me the oldest successor, but it's really not my fault that the Seer saw what she saw.
Why try to kill me when I'm just a victim of this circumstance as well?
I stare at the werewolf on the verge of death by my bedside.
Such a rude one.
"Is it my fault?" I asked and kicked his wounded body with aggression.
Of course, I don't get an answer, as he is busy writhing in pain.
He topples over to the other side while trying to get his head back in shape.
I guess I twisted his neck pretty badly.
Thanks to my consistent secret training and the faithful Moon Goddess, I'd have died the minute this wolf tried to suffocate me with my pillow.
I was banned from the training ground for being too handsome, and all my masters rejected me because of the curse.
The half dead wolf whimpers in pain, but there's nothing I can do other than to help relieve his pain.
I grab my silencer from the drawer behind me and shoot him in his head.
The messy content splatters around, soiling my white pyjama with the bloody content, but I can't be bothered by it.
My room is about to be filled with the rest of them. So the only thing on my mind now is finding an escape.
But if this sneaky bastard was able to get inside my room despite the top-notch security system and body guards in the villa, I couldn't go through the main door if I didn't want my head to roll off after.
I can only go through my secret escape route.
I immediately pack an extra pair of clothes in case I shift and have to shift back.
It's become habitual for me since a pair of female humans killed themselves because one of them got to touch me when I was naked.
Yes, I'm that sexy.
Imagine your 6'2 foot human with abs that show that he has been working out and a well sculptured face with a beautiful pair of grey eyes to light it.
Yes, that's me.
I open the door behind my shoe rack and crawl into it.
'Weeh' I'm excited as I slide down the rubber slide until my butts start to burn from friction. But lucky for me, I'm near the outside.
I'll most certainly end up in the woods as the slide extends underground before it spits me out.
And yes, I ended up in the woods with three thick branches and obviously some fallen threes as well.
I know it won't take long till I'm found here, because this is a common ground for werewolves to sprint and Rolland knows about the secret door.
And before you go on about how lacking I am to let him know about the secret-get-away, first, I'm not stupid.
In my defense, we used to be best of friends till he started becoming greedy and best friends are meant to trust each other with everything.
I've been going around for more than an hour now and I'm not sure if I should start panicking.
I've gotten deeper into the woods and I honestly think I'm lost.
I've gone to this spot 5 times now and ...
"Get him!" Seems like I've been found.
There are about a hundred of them and I know I have no chance of attacking.
Am I going to die in their hands?
The answer is no! A capital N. O
Why?
Because I must get my revenge against Rolland and Linda.
Both my childhood friends. One is my half brother, the other my childhood crush.
Linda was well aware of my feelings for her yet, not only did she brush it aside, she also conspired with Rolland to get rid of me.
I bet they are having a glass of champagne to celebrate my death now and, in complete truth, I'm hurt.
Hurt by their betrayal and rejection despite knowing that they are all I've got since my mother died and I was labelled the bastard of the pack.
But it's not my fault that my father was a cheat.
So yes, I must fight and survive and get back at those cheating pair.
Linda's ambitiousness made her abandon me for Rolland who would never stop bluffing about how he can give her the world.
I can't continue in my human form, else they catch up on me and tear me to bits.
'Luca.' I called out my wolf before shifting.
Luca let out a loud growl and continued sprinting deeper into the woods.
Their voices and growls go weaker the farther I get from them.
They either stopped chasing or they are strategizing.
No questions.
Rolland and I used to be best friends.
Luca came to an instant stop and I was about questioning him when I felt the sting on my shoulder.
I'm lucky they missed - they usually aim for the neck - but before the reminder of the 100 arrows started flying towards my direction, I had to get out of here.
Just when I feel adrenaline surge through my veins and Luca prepares for a sprint, I start to feel dizzy.
It must be the arrow.
The tree in front of me doubles and then triples before I lose my footing.
And in no time, I was tumbling down - nonstop.
I didn't notice the cliff before.
