CHAPTER 5

Aura’s pov

When the darkness faded and I opened my eyes slowly, the lights in the room blinded me for a while. It hurt my sensitive eyes. I stayed motionless for an hour to adjust back into the room.

When I tried to move my hands, an unexplainable tingling sensation passed through my skin. It raised hair on my skin and I can feel the goosebumps getting tighter. When I saw someone holding my hand, I panicked. Who could be this person?

When I moved my hand half an inch, he held it firmly. He was sleeping but I couldn't see his face as he was facing the opposite side.

He murmured in his sleep, “Mate! Mine!” 

I gasped and realised that this person is my mate. Finally, my mate found me. Tiny rabbits were jumping in excitement in my head and the butterflies were dancing in my stomach. My heart was on fire and my emotions were out of control.

I wanted to get up and see his face but the bandages were restricting my movements. Then it was, he happened to turn his face to me and I got the biggest shock of my life. The cracks in my heart were deep enough to make it bleed.

If i would be mated to an omega, i would be fine but i never expected an ALPHA TO BE MY MATE. More, the most notorious Alpha of the north who slaughtered hundreds of packs just because he likes to spread his terror among other wolves.

I never asked for anything in my life. Whatever I faced, I faced happily knowing that one day my mate will love me and rescue me from all the dangers. I thought he would fill the voids in my heart.

I was angry but I couldn't even react. I don’t want this Alpha to be my mate. I rather stay mateless than to be mated with him. Why did the moon goddess pair me with him?

The nurse entered and I immediately closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. Soon the Alpha woke up and left the room. I sighed and asked the nurse to help me to the bathroom. When i went inside, i started to think of escaping because this is the only option i have got.

I looked at the window and slightly pushed it up. The space was enough for me to pass through it as I don't have much fat on my body. I quickly removed my bandages and escaped through that window.

I exhale deeply when I safely make it out of the bathroom and now I have to run for my life because once the Alpha gotta know about my escape, he will be coming for me. Having odds on my side, he is my destined mate for life. Isn’t my life already in chaos?

I don’t want to be caught off like a sly fox, I made my way to the other side of the wing. I heard some random footsteps approaching the way. I looked here and there for a way out but found a big back door. 

They were close so I got inside and locked the door so they couldn't enter. It was a useless move, werewolves can’t be stopped by a locked door but it will buy me some time.

The place seemed to be like a pantry and I got an idea. Since I am surrounded by materials with distinct smells, I will try to hide my scent from the Alpha so he can’t find me.

I opened a box where they kept all kinds of spices. It was big enough for me to hide so I shifted a little of the bags of the spice and mistakenly, I spilled the bag of pepper. Soon the place was filled with a strong smell of pepper. I held my nose tighty so I won't sneeze and give those guards a hint that I am hiding under a box of spices.

I might did some idiotic things in my preveious pack but i never ever thought of hiding under a box of spices. I couldn’t breathe under here because the pepper was making it difficult.

Suddenly, I heard the door opening with a loud crashing sound. The voice that demanded my presence sent chills to my bones.

My evil mate was standing at the doorway. He sneezed frequently because of the pepper. Even though his guards were sneezing continuously until one by one, they left the pantry.

There Was no sound of footsteps and someone sneezing, so i assumed everyone left but still i stayed there until everything stabilized.

Soon, I was proved wrong when someone opened the box and two green eyes glared daggers at me. I kept my head low and avoided eye contact with him.

“Do i have to command you to get the fuck out of that box?” he scoffed.

He caught me. Oops! I immediately got up but then suddenly I felt my eyelids heavy and lost my control over my body. When i thought i was going to hit the floor with a band, someone held me in his arms, saving me from getting a nasty scar.

His touch send electric vibed through out my body and shiver under his embrance. When our eyes collided, i felt the warmth metling my heart.

“Mate! Mate! He is ours!” my wolf became restless when i inhaled his cedarwood and musk scent.

There was a hint of saddness and anger in his eyes, he carried me in bridal style from the pantry and threw me in the small tub of water.

The water splashed and i got out from my trance, watching a smirk on his face.

“Son of a bitch!” i cursed him.
