CHAPTER FOUR: THE HUNT

VALENCIA’S POINT OF VIEW

I turned the door knob of my room/ jail, it opened, I was shocked by this. I had not tried to open the door before, I just assumed that it would be locked because I am Alpha Alexandro’s prisoner.

I opened the door and walked out of the room. I’m not sure if I should be out of the room but I also don’t think I can stay in there for one more minute.

I have been really restless since my wolf showed up, it like I have to be near Alpha Alexandro to be calm, it’s like I just have to see him, to feel his presence. It’s odd to me since I have never actually wanted to be around anyone before, I have always been one to keep to myself so needing and wanting someone is a bit awkward to me.

It’s probably just my wolf acting up.

I walked down the hallway, I sneaked through a door, this wasn’t hard to do because there was no guard in sight. I started to hear voices of people talking, I stopped behind the curtain, scared of what might happen if Alpha Alexandro finds me snooping around.

There were three men’s voice just joking around, one of those voices belonged to Alpha Alexandro, my wolf jumped around in excitement when I heard his voice, I could hardly contain her but I did my best to stay put that until I hear a woman’s voice calling Alpha Alexandro, my mate, her baby.

“Baby, I really miss you. I am so glad to be back.” This woman said.

“I know my love, I miss you too.” Alpha Alexandro replied. I frowned, I felt really furious, I don’t know why or how but I left the spot I was staying at behind the curtain and walked in and then I just stood there not knowing what to do while they all stared at me like I was an alien who had just crawled into Earth.

“Who is she?” The woman asked. The other two men who look like twins just stared at me with their fork in mid-air.

“She is no one special, just someone who would be gone in three days.” Alpha Alexandro said as he continued to eat.

I thought… I thought… but yesterday… he… we.

*We nothing, you are nothing to me* I heard Alpha Alexandro’s voice in my head, what? How am I hearing his voice? How did he just reply to my thoughts?

*It’s called a mind link dummy, I did not believe it at first. The intense desire for you, my ability to feel what you feel, it all makes sense now. I am your mate, I don’t know how you got me linked to you but if you think I am going to accept you then you are a fool! You die in three days and that’s it!* Alpha Alexandro said angrily in my thoughts. I locked eyes with him, he looked away. I can feel everything he feels, I feel the anger and hatred he feels for me in this moment.

The hatred is so strong, I cannot read his mind but I know that he hates me so much right now for being his mate. His anger towards me made me feel sad, I have always dreamt of a happily ever after, I have always dreamt of a mate who would love me above all, a mate who I would love above all and now I have a mate who hates me so strongly.

I did my best to hold the tears back in but I could not so I just started crying, with tears streaming down my eyes I ran out of there.

“Why is she crying.” I hear one of the twin say.

“I am telling you bro girls are so weird.” The other one reply.

I saw a small cottage near the garden and just sat there crying my eyes out after sometime I noticed someone coming in my direction, I quickly dried my eyes.

It was the woman that had called Alpha Alexandro baby. My wolf frowned and huffed , it’s obvious my wolf does not like her but she might be a good person so I’m willing to give her a chance.

“Hey what’s the matter, why did you leave so suddenly? did something happen? Is it what Alexandro said, I assure you he doesn’t mean it.” She said .

I did not reply but just continued staring at the sun flower in my hand.

“I am Sheila, Alexandro’s girlfriend.” She introduced herself holding out her hand for a handshake with a bright smile on her face , she seems like a really nice person, I suddenly feel like a horrible person for being linked to her boyfriend.

“I’m Valencia and I am really sorry for how I left the place.” I said accepting her handshake.

*I am also sorry for being linked to your boyfriend* I thought in my mind.

*it’s not your fault* my wolf said to me. But I still feel really bad, she should be with Alpha Alexandro, they should be together, they seem to love each other really much, I am just an intruder in their love story.

“Hey we should go hunting together!” Sheila said excitedly. I nodded.

“Okay great, I’ll get you a riding gear!” She said excitedly.

***

I am supposed to pick a horse to take riding, I am at the front part of the stables in my leather riding gear when I start hearing some soft moans and low groans.

I walk in still, it is probably not what I am thinking. I still need to grab a bow and some arrows from the inner part of the stable so I walk in regardless.

“Yes! Fuck yes!” I hear and then saw one of the twins thrusting into Sheila who was arched against one of the wooden boxes. They both saw me and froze and then the sound of footsteps coming in started getting closer. They both hurriedly adjusted her clothes and then Alpha Alexandro walked in, he studied the room for a while, it looked like as if he suspects something.

He looked directly at me. I tried my best to keep my mind blank. *Bubble gum, bubble gum, bubble gum…* I said over and over again in my mind so Alpha Alexandro would get nothing even if he tries to read my mind. Years of bullying has thought me one thing and it’s to never get involved in dangerous situations.

Alpha Alexandro frowned, his gaze went away from me and landed on Sheila who was surprisingly really calm and composed.

“I thought you guys had gone.” Alpha Alexandro said to her.

“Oh my love we should have gone but I just had to pick something up.” Sheila said smiling at the Alpha like she had not just been with someone else.

“ Yes brother, we’ll be on our way now.” The twin added. Brother?! Wait what!

I almost let my thought slip, my wolf was more than ready to spill everything to Alpha Alexandro but I quickly got a grip.

“Okay then Alec, take care of my Sheila for me okay?” Alpha Alexandro said, Alec, the twin nodded and immediately Sheila pulled me by my hand out of the stables. Alec, Alpha Alexandro’s brother who had just been with his girlfriend followed behind us.

Through out our ride through the woods, they both said nothing to me, they both completely ignored me until we got to the thicker part of the woods.

We spotted a animal running through the bushes.

“Follow me Valencia! We have to catch it!” Sheila said as she chased after the animal, I followed her, we got close enough to the animal which had slowed down to have a drink of water by the stream. We both got down from our horses and snuck up behind it. Sheila brought out her bow but instead of aiming it at the animal, she aimed it at me.

“I see the way Alexandro looks at you, I am not going to let you ruin me and Alec’s plan. I am going to marry Alexandro and then I’ll have to kill him so that my dear Alec can become the Alpha. I can’t let you ruin everything Valencia.” Sheila said and then released the arrow, it landed deep in my chest. The last thing I remember before going blank is being in a pool of my own blood…
