Chapter 04

Soren Pov:

"_ and I'm gonna go with the nevy gown," Isabella anounce.

"Okey, but make sure not to stand out the bride," mom chukle saying that. That's the only word i got my hold onto, they are talking about some wedding and that , nothing interesting for me, my presence stayed ignored.

The talk in the dining table is filled with happiness, with soft chatter here and there,yet i was never a part of the conversation.

The dull corner of my heart eche.

Packing my bag, i left for school. Same routine, same rule.

Reaching school the first thing i notice was students, enthusiastically hoping towards the back gate . That remind me now of the union match. It's supposed to take place today .

" Crap!" And worst , Luciano will be on the opposite team of the fighter.

That's it. That's my called to disappear.

I don't wanna be a mockery disaster once again. Not when Mark will be there. 'Luciano' s future beta.

But my misfortune, before i turn towards the exit a cheerful voice ring my ear.

I sigh! no point in running now, I'm choght.

"Soren. . over here." It's none other then Maria. My one and only friend, and also life sevior.

"Where did you been?" She grab my hand, making sure to stop me from my escape attempt. She's always like this.

"gave up trying." My subconscious mind told me. I gave her my femous fake smile, a gesture to continue only she understand.

"Sooo, " She starch "You don't mind accompany me to the old building right." Here we go something's coming!

" You know the battle, I'm really exited about it! please come with me,or I'll get lonely. Please. . please . . please!" She kept chanting.

Panicked by her nonstop pleading, i had to shut her mouth by slamming my hand over her lips.

She sure know how to convince me, yet there is this uncertainty that starting to eat me, something bad might happen, but looking at her excitement i couldn't have it me to burst her bubble. It could be far too cruel.

With his heart, mixture of dreed and nervousness Soren follow Maria at the old building.

The school old building which was once a whole study department is now a old forgotten institute. The building was built decade ago with a little ancient touch, it's structure once solid, has become rusty.

The backside wall completely crampt , it's bricks are falling with time. A little push and the building might fall completely.

The garden one's taken care of with outmost gress, the carefully trimmed grass, now overgrown wild plants .

The cemented wall's are rusting, concretes turning into dust. A sign board written in Bold letter"DENGER ALART!" was dug in front of the building, often ignored by Students just to hangout here .

The old institute become a hideout for groups here, any illigal fight, betting or stupid parties take place in here , specially bettel between two clans members, they test their power at this very place , trying to gain authority against eachother.

Soren never was a fan of violence. He never get the concept of fighting just to overpower someone. The kind of place isn't for him. He enjoy his life being invisible .

If not for 'Maria' dragging him everywhere she goes , he did never cross the front iron rusty gate.

He never had the heart to refuse Maria on anything, and he knew even in near future he could not back down from her.

She is been there for him since childhood, protecting him, she treat him like her own brother.

A silent Anchor in his miserable life.

Whom he could never trade for anything.

She is family.A real family.

They enter the building, again the 'Warning! Sign' left ignored. The place is already filled with students with no way to moved. Maria with one chicken sandwich shoved in her mouth other one in her hand tried to bypass the crowds .

It was difficult to yelling with muffled word, 'Move,' which is kinda funny from 'Soren's perspective.

A giggle left his thorat by watching her struggle.

Her target place 'The front line' .

There at the ground stood two Alpha. There pheromone filling the hall with Domination. A immense battle going on with fist blowing at each other, it was a violent scene .

'Soren' choose to stay behind, not liking the view.

Maria already at the front line yelling her lungs out, cheering for her favourite team .

Soren stayed behind away from the yelling crowds.

Occasionally his eyes roam around the hall searching for the Familiar figure . The pull still there even if the bond is allmost severe.

And there he saw him. At the end of the hallway behind the large piller, there stood Luciano with his team, discussing something he couldn't make out of. Mark was nowhere in the side it makes him fall at a little ease.

Before he knew his legs moved at that direction.

Call it the attachment or some magnetic pull his legs moved at his own.

His mind screaming 'Denger! but the voices left ignored.

And before he reach them he was pulled back harshly. A faint gasped left his mouth by the force.

It was so soft, allmost inaudible.

A hand grabbing his wrist with iron grip.

He looked up only for his soul to leave his body. Stood before him towering over Mark. A deadly glare dancing his eyes, his lips giving a maddening smirk . With the corner of his eyes he saw Luciano looking at him aswell, but made no afford to stop his friend . To Arrogant to help him, or rather pleased by the scene.

"Where do you think you are going?" he asked,his voice cold, arrogance dripping out of them.

Soren flinch hard, didn't expect to be get choght by him.

He tried to shake his head, trying to explain. Mark however pulled him on a different side.

On a empty forgotten corridor.

"A peasant like you has no place in here." The last thing he said before pushing him in a empty old class room. The door click shut behind him, while Luciano walked up there, watching him dragged away.

The class room is dark, with spider webs around each corner. The outside noises fading.

Soren bang the door desperately trying to get his mate's attention. He knows Luciano is out there standing. He got his scent clear, that sandalwood, not comforting anymore but still there, yet he didn't reach to get him out.

His last hope Maria. He tried calling her,his hand shaking, the call got disconnected, massage unread.

The match didn't let him have any contact with her.

He sat there leaning against the door, crying silently, blaming his luck, about why he had tried to approach his mate, he should have listen to his gut-feeling.

He shouldn't have hope towards his mate. He was foolish!

The windows are secure with iron nets, making it impossible to jump outside.

On the other side Mark make his way towards his group. "Where did you go?" Luciano lean at the piller casually , already presenting at his respective place. He asked Mark.

There is a silly grin on Mark's face, "To make sure no disturbance reach you," he replied no rumours in his tone , he enjoyed watching Soren tormented.

Luciano already seen the commotion, read through Mark's lack of conviction, but careless about his matter that's simply none of his business.

An hour pass the bettle already over 'The Blood Moon Pack 'won against 'The Shadow Pack ' Luciano as always gaining the superior Alpha title.

The victory that follow was Power claiming.

In the midst of chaos Maria finally remember Soren. Upon not finding him she panicked, her carelessness caming in front of her, she search for him.

Yet no sign of Soren so far.

"Mark have you seen Soren? " The reply was a blunt "No". she frowned, not completely believing him, yet the lack of proof can't be voiced out, her eyes start glistening, the tears she's trying to hold back came out.

She regret dragging him here. He was uncomfortable. She should consider his comfort. She should have known!.

In the dark room Soren shiver. The tempreture dropping as the day pass, he tried hard to get help, his hand red for the constant banging

His eyes giving up slowly ,body numb, mind drifting back to the dark store room, and like that he lost his consciousness.

But not before hearing a loud bang!.
