CHAPTER THREE— Unconcious

  CHAPTER THREE— Unconcious

 

  ROWENA'S POV

 

 

  The sounds of footsteps made my ears perk up and I quickly stood up in alert as I prepared myself to fight. Did they follow me out here? I thought I had lost them after I had crossed the border, I guess Luca had permitted them to cross the border.

 

 

  "Alpha, why did you ask us to leave all of a sudden?" A man asked, I sniffed quietly and from the awful smell that met my nose, I didn't need a genius to point it out to me that they were rogues. What had they done though? What are they discussing? This isn't their territory, it has been known to all that troubles always go wherever rogues go, I guess I am one of them now. I stood still and tried not to alert them and not give out my hiding spot.

 

 

  "We were on their territory,  it wouldn't be long before the beta or a pack warrior came across us." the man who I now recognize as the Rogue Alpha spoke. I held my breath as I properly hid myself while also listening in on their conversation.

 

  "What do we do now?" A woman asked, from her tone she sounded worried.

 

  "We wait and train harder and trust me, darling we never lose." the rogue Alpha said.

 

  "You should have just killed him when you had the chance," the woman said again. I wonder who they were talking about, who do they intend to kill? Anyway, it wasn't a surprising thing. What Rogues are actually known for is killing.

 

  "I had the chance to kill him but I didn't and that's because, the amount of silver I had injected into him will do the job just fine." The rogue Alpha boasted.

 

  "Coupled with a broken heart, it wouldn't be long before he takes his last breath and then we strike." the rogue Alpha said laughing maniacally and the rest of the rogues followed.

 

  I crouched lower and tried to get a look at them from the little opening at the branches close to the tree.

 

  "I still think you should have killed him, so we watch him meet his end, what if he survives from the attacks then what?" the woman lamented still not satisfied about the rogue Alpha's decision. "You might have conquered other packs but he isn't...

 

  "If by chance he survives from the injuries that we inflicted on him then he would definitely not survive from the war we are going to wage." the cold voice of the Alpha rogue reached my ears.

 

  "You shouldn't be worried about that sweetheart, you should be more worried about breaking your mate bond, you also had the chance to denounce him as your mate but you didn't, imagine what would have happened to you if we did kill him, your bond with him is not fully broken," the Alpha rogue said.

 

  I gasped in surprise. I quickly placed my palm on my mouth, fortunately they didn't hear me. If it hadn't happened to me I wouldn't have believed some wolves could do this to their mates. She had connived with the rogue Alpha to kill her mate, just like what Liam had done, well almost the same. I crouched lower, out of view as they walked past me to their destination. Whoever it is they left to die, I needed to rescue him, I won't let him die because of his useless mate.

 

 

  I quickly stood up when I noticed they weren't close by and I went ahead in search of the werewolf the rogue Alpha was talking about.

 

  I have been walking for some minutes now yet there was no sign of the werewolf they were talking about, I took a step about to move forward when a groan from the side of a tree stopped me in my tracks.

 

  I immediately walked towards the tree where I heard the groan coming from and I saw a man lying naked on the floor all wounded up just like the rogue Alpha had stated earlier.

 

  "What's your name? Where can I take you?" I asked the wounded man but all I got were groans and grunts.

 

  I tried to lift his head and I placed it on my lap.

 

  "I need to get you to a healer, where should I take you to?" I asked again.

 

  "Where is the nearest place to a healer?" I asked, hoping for his life he would try to respond.

 

  "Al...the..." he tried to speak and then his eyes rolled and he lost consciousness.

 

  Fuck! Being shot with silver isn't one of the nicest feelings in the world, it is the second closest to the loss of a mate or the pain of a broken mate.

 

  I don't know how long he has and I don't know where to take him and from what I heard the rogue Alpha said, he had injected him with silver. Silver is harmful to werewolves, they would die within minutes based on the amount of silver infused in their blood, the rogue Alpha had said he injected him with a lot, perhaps the man could be a warrior or has Alpha blood in him hence why he is still alive, I need to do something to save him and I need to do it real quick.

 

  I opened my bag to put a cloth on him, fortunately, I had a pair of spare trousers from Liam. When I would always go for a run, Liam comes by when I'm always done so he always has a pair of joggers and T-shirt in my bag I always carry with me whenever I am off to the woods.

 

  After lots of grunts and struggles, I managed to put on the joggers on him and the shirt. I proceeded to shred my shirt in a way that I could wrap his injured part. He wasn't healing quickly because of the silver, he was healing like a human. He needs to see a healer quickly.

 

  I think I have to take the other path, I might come across someone who would help him. All of a sudden I felt a sharp kick to my stomach and I flew some feet back due to the brutal force from the kick and I hit a tree.

 

  I groaned as I sat upright, I raised my head and glanced up to see what or who had hit me.

 

  "What did you do to him?" a cold voice met my ears, before I could say a word he had his hands on my neck and pressed me to the tree.

 

  I fought to remove his hands from my throat but he was too powerful, he was towering over me and had a cold and predatory look in his eyes.

 

  "Answer me before I snap your neck" he growled.

 

  "The Alpha needs to see a healer, he has been injected with silver" a male called out and the man holding my neck quickly threw me down and walked towards the man who I now know was their Alpha.

 

  "I will take the Alpha to the pack, get Ciara now," he said turning to face another wolf, the wolf quickly gave a nod and left.

 

  "Bring the female to the pack dungeon, we need answers but we still need her alive until the Alpha is awake," he said then left.

 

  "I am not..." I tried to explain but I felt myself losing consciousness, I think they had injected me with something.
