Chapter 2: Leaving everything behind

last update Last Updated: 2023-10-26 02:34:51

The night was turned into a bloody nightmare, with my people fighting very hard to survive. Our dead littered the floor of the ballroom like rubbish on the streets, yet more rogues kept coming. It was an attack on a large scale. It's like something that has been planned for many nights. How didn't we see this coming?

I was tired, wounded, and barely holding my own, and the only thing keeping me going was Zach fighting beside me. Between the two of us, we have managed to kill a lot of rogues, but that barely made a dent in their numbers.

My father and a few of our warriors were back at the Pack defending it. The rogue planned their attack so well that they attacked us on two fronts. I kept in touch with my father through our link; he is fighting hard, just as we are. But I could hear his strength depleting.

The warriors fought to keep the rogues away from where Mum and the others were sheltered. We also needed to protect the vulnerable members of the Pack: the elderly, the cubs, and the pregnant she-wolves.

Here in this room, we aren't faring better either.

"You have to leave now!" Zach screamed into our link as we faced off against another group of wolves. I retaliated, shouting, "I am not leaving you!"

"You have to. Please! We can't both die here. Our Pack needs a reason to survive, and you are that reason."

I wanted to argue that I was not more important than anyone else in the Pack, but my father's voice intruded into the link. "He is right; love, you must escape."

"But..." I still tried to argue as my heart grew heavy at the thought of abandoning my family.

"You have to go now, Fallon. We still have the numbers to hold them off," Dale, Zach's father and our Pack's beta. And even though his tone was pleading, it was laced with authority, letting me know he was giving me an order.

Everyone felt my agreement in my silence. Another warrior made his way to Zach to take his place while I withdrew. Inside, I began to weep as my wolf made her way towards the exit. Zach and the warrior did their best to keep the rogue from pursuing me. When I got outside, there were a few of them attacking my people out here.

I was about to join the foray again when Zach leaped in front of me and took on the rogue who was my target. "Keep going!" he yelled as he fought with the rogue. I heeded his words and kept on moving. Soon, I took off into the forest, running with no idea where I was going. My wolf was bleeding from all the gashes she sustained during the fight, but she kept on. Our family wants us to survive, and that is what we will do.

I stopped abruptly in the forest when I felt a terror in the link, followed by intense sorrow, and soon, it was all I could feel. Something terrible had happened.

"Don't stop, Fallon," Zach whispered through the link. His voice was weak, which alarmed me. "Are you alright, Zach?" I asked worriedly, wondering if he was the reason for the intense sorrow and great sadness I felt through the pack link.

"I love you, Fallon," I heard him say before our link disconnected.

"No!!!!" I screamed in my mind while my wolf howled loudly into the night. Her pain and mine merge to create the loudest hurl in history. Losing Zach felt like losing a part of me, and yet the universe was not done dealing me a cruel hand.

I tried to contact my father through the link but got no response from my mum, Dale, and the others. I have been severed from the Pack. I have never felt so lonely as I did at that moment, and the pain and grief that followed brought my wolf to her knees. I wanted to shift to lie there on the forest floor until death came for me, but that would be doing their sacrifice a disservice. They wanted me to survive, and that was what I would do.

I heard a twig snap in the distance behind me, and I immediately became alert. The scent carried by the wind was rotten. Rogues. They have followed me into the forest. It won't take the time to map out my location. For now, the forest is riddled with the scents of every wolf that has run through it, but soon, they will be able to figure out which one is mine.

I have to keep moving.

I took off running through our Pack's forest. The idea is to keep going North until I have lost the rogues.

As I was heavily injured, it didn't take long for me to lose my speed. I became tired, hungry, and worn out. I was dying to rest, but I couldn't risk it. Even though I couldn't hear the rogues behind me, I knew they were still after me.

I don't know how far I ran before my strength gave out, and I collapsed on the ground. I was seeing spots and barely had the strength to keep my eyes open, but I didn't want to give up. I tried to stand several times, but my wolf was all spent and very weak.

"Come on, Frost. We need to keep moving," I tried to encourage my wolf. She tried to do as I requested, but when she got back on her feet, I felt her legs tremble before she collapsed back to the ground, and darkness claimed us both.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I came around, I heard voices speaking above me. I held still, wanting to know if they were foes or friends. I couldn't smell anything rotten, which ruled out them being rogues. But their scent was one I didn't recognize. This was a pack we weren't familiar with. I wondered how far north I wandered.

"Do you think it is dead?" I heard one of them ask.

"I don't know. Maybe you should check it out," another said.

"Why me?" The first voice retorted

"Well, you are worried about whether it is dead."

"Yeah, well, she is huge. She is almost as huge as the Alpha, which means she is an alpha, too. Do you think we can take her if she is dangerous?"

"I don't think she will be taking anything. Look at how injured it is."

"Maybe we should call it in," the first voice suggested.

"Or we just kill it. You know how Alpha is about strangers trespassing into our territories."

"Yes. But I don't think it meant to trespass." There was compassion in the tone of the first voice. Remaining still hasn't helped me figure out who these clowns are, and if they think that I am going to let them kill me after everything I have been through, they have another thing coming.

With all the strength we had left, Frost and I got to our feet and smirked when the two guys talking about us jumped back in fright at the sight of us on our feet.

  • THE UNLIKELY PAIR   Chapter 40: This was a mistake.

    Chase and I lay side by side, panting after he fucked me shitless. My body was all sweaty, and he was the same. We didn't say anything to each other, as if speaking would shatter the relaxed atmosphere in the room. But we didn't need silence to destroy the little pleasure we gained from what we did. My conscience did it for me. "This was a mistake," I said and sat up on the bed. Now that the fog of lust has cleared from my head, I am thinking clearly, and I don't like what my head is screaming at me right now. I beat myself up for letting my clit do my thinking for me. I should be better than this. I didn't turn to look at Chase but got up from the bed to pick up my clothes. He didn't say anything in response to my words, so I looked at him. His expression was blank, and his eyes closed. I didn't know how to take or interpret his lack of response, so I dressed and got out of his room. Hopefully, this remains a secret between us. What happened with Chase is never gonna happen again

    Chase continued to laugh like a maniac while my face burned like someone took a match to it. My hands on the tray tightened into fists as I fought the strong urge to murder him, but that would require me to turn around, and it was the last thing I wished to do. Not because he was hedious, or something. Far from it.The body I saw was an art in perfection. It wasn't muscular like his brother's, but slim and delicate-looking, like a fragile flower. An odd way to describe a man, I know, but that is how beautiful he looked. Unbidden, another part of him flashed into my mind. You would think a guy as delicate-looking as him wouldn't look so big in that department, but you're mistaken. Not only is he blessed, but just like him beautiful, even as it laid flaccid between his legs. My face burned harder as I thought things I wasn't supposed to. I felt ashamed inside me. I am supposed to stay away from Chase for the sake of my Pack, but I am letting my libido think for me instead of using my

  • THE UNLIKELY PAIR   Chapter 38: Why does he make me want to kill him?

    I am not the submissive type, and having to beg and lower myself in front of these people makes me so mad that I want to lash out. The only thing keeping the cap on my rage is the years of discipline drilled into me from a young age by my father. He was the one who trained me to be the warrior that I am now, and one thing my father has always maintained among his warriors is discipline. If you step out of line, you will be punished, no matter who you are. So would any other member of the Pack who disobeys the rules and regulations that govern the Pack. My saying please was not not enough top satisfy the damn over weight woman in front of me, she had to try and prove that she has some power when she is nothing. "Why would you want leftovers? I thought you just had dinner?" She looked at me like I was some beggar from the street begging for crumbs. "I don't know why the Alpha would allow a stranger that eats like a whale into the Pack. What is she trying to do? Eat us out of the Pac

  • THE UNLIKELY PAIR   Chapter 37: Why do I have to beg

    Everyone was sent out of the room, including the Alpha, for Dr. George to attend to Luna. The Alpha was hoovering too much and driving his mate and the doctor insane. Outside, he was driving us insane with his pacing. He looked as if his mate was in labour. It wasn't clear how much the giant cared for the petite woman. Their relationship reminded me of my parents, and that filled my heart with sadness. These past few days, I have tried not to think about my Pack and what is happening to them. But occasionally, my thoughts flicker to them, and I can't help the pain and sorrow that come with it. There were a few of us hanging out in the living room: Alpha and his second, Dustin, Vivian, and a few guards. Chase didn't catch up with us, and no one knew where he was. I don't think anyone cared. All focus was on the Luna. Dustin, like his father, looked very worried, though unlike him, he was a picture of composure. His calm and composure in the face of such a distressful situation is a

    The four of us walked silently towards the Pack hospital, where we knew Dr. George would be. The silence was thick with tension, and Dustin and I felt uncomfortable in the presence of our two uninvited guests. He walked on my left while Chase and Vivian brought up the rear. "So, are you two together?" Vivian asked, breaking the silence. Her question caused me to stiffen inside, and I also felt a change in Dustin, though his confident stride remained. As if we were in each other's thoughts, we answered together. None of your business, and then turned to look at one another. "Jinx," we said with smiles on our faces. We chuckled, but the two behind us didn't find anything humorous in our actions. We felt their glares but pretended not to. Chase was awfully quiet, so unlike him. His usual self would have tried to push my buttons or his brothers'. I wanted to look back, but I forced myself to continue. Why am I even bothered if he was quiet or not? I asked myself angrily. I was irrit

  • THE UNLIKELY PAIR   Chapter 35: Dinner

    Dutin's uncharitable greeting to Vivian caught Nyx's attention. She was not happy about her son being rude to the blonde. I, on the other hand, felt different. There could only be one reason the blonde was eating with us tonight: to cause trouble."Dustin, don't be rude to our guest," she scolded, with a heavy frown on her face, as if confused about why Dustin was behaving this way. Dustin was the model son, and from what I have seen, he was always on his best behaviour. However, there are two people who push his buttons to the extent that he loses control. One is the evil bitch in front of us, and the other is his brother. Does this mean that the dark-haired boy still cares for the blonde? It shouldn't bother me; after all, I have a mate, but still, I wasn't expecting the intense jealousy that gripped my heart at the thought of Dustin still in love with Vivian. Maybe I am greedy or just a bad person, thinking of having one brother and still seeing the other. My head might tell me
