Chapter 3

Sara's eyes fluttered open slowly. The stream of sunlight from the window beside her made it a bit hard for her to see at first and she had to blink a few times in order to get her eyes used to the room. Sara looked round, she was lying down on a king sized bed in the middle of a large room. The room was tastefully decorated although in an ancient style, it was quite luxurious. Sara tried to think back to how she got here and she remembered the attack in the forest. She remembered the rogue wolves she had encountered and the....

Sara's mind was immediately on alert.

'That's right!', she thought to herself.

'The silver streaked wolf who had saved her. Where was he? Was he the one who had brought her here?', Sara asked herself.

She looked down at her leg and saw it was bandaged where the rogue wolf had bit her.

'Had the blue eyed wolf bandaged her up?'

Just as all these questions were swimming through Sara's mind, the door suddenly opened and a woman walked in.

The woman looked around the same age as Sara, she walked in holding a bowl of water and a piece of cloth, wearing what she assumed was a maid's uniform. Sara watched as the maid paused momentarily when she noticed Sara staring at her.

"My lady, you're awake", the maid said as she began to advance towards Sara in hurried footsteps.

Sara struggled to sit up.

"Who are you? Where am I?", Sara asked, eyeing the woman warily as she approached.

"My lady please don't sit up, you need to rest", the maid said as she tried to help Sara lie down again but Sara stubbornly shook her off.

"Where am I? How did I get here?", Sara asked again, this time her tone sharper than before.

"My lady, don't worry, you are safe. You are in the alpha's palace", the maid answered her softly.

"The alpha's..."

'Zayne' was the first thing that came to her mind and Sara hated that it was. Zayne had just rejected her so there was no way he would show her this kind of hospitality. So that begged the question, if she wasn't in Zayne's palace, which alpha's palace was she in?

"Which pack is this?", Sara asked the woman.

"You are in the Blue Moon pack, my lady"

Sara blinked in surprise. 'The Blue Moon pack'?

"Hold on my lady, let me inform the alpha that you are awake", the maid told her and Sara stiffened.

Sara watched as the woman left the room, her mind descending into chaos. She had heard rumors of the Blue Moon pack and it's alpha. It was currently the strongest pack in the land and it's alpha was known to be ruthless and extremely powerful. Sara didn't know how she had gotten here but she knew that she needed to leave.

Sara stood up from the bed with much difficulty. Her leg was in pain but she didn't let that deter her. She got down from the bed and limped towards the door. She listened for any sounds coming from outside but there was none. She opened the door slowly and walked into the hallway. The hallway was large and quiet, there was no one in sight. Sara slowly began to make her way down the hallway. She limped and with each step she took, she felt a sharp sting of pain go through her but she didn't stop. She needed to leave this place. Sara walked on for close to ten minutes and thankfully didn't see anyone, however she was beginning to tire out and she still had not found the exit.

Sara took what seemed to be her tenth turn and yet it wasn't the exit. She was getting really tired by now. Just as she was wondering where to go from here and if she would really be able to escape from this place, she heard a sharp cry,

"My lady!", someone exclaimed and Sara froze in place.

Sara didn't need to turn around to know who it was and sure enough, the maid from her room earlier rushed to her side.

"What are you doing out of bed? Come, come you must rest", the maid said as she took Sara's arm.

Sara tried to struggle out of her grasp but her grip was gentle yet firm and she couldn't do anything but allow herself be led back to the room. Her legs were beginning to tire out anyway and she was still no closer to finding the exit.

Back in the room, the young maid helped Sara lay down on the bed. And although Sara was disappointed that she had not been able to escape, she was grateful to be back in bed again. Her legs hurt from walking for that long.

"Just rest my lady. The alpha will be here soon. Is there anything you want in the meantime?", the young maid asked her with a smile.

Just as Sara opened her mouth to respond, the door opened and he walked in. Sara couldn't help the gasp that escaped her, the man that walked into her room was extremely good looking.

He must have been at least 6ft tall with short jet black hair that was cut into a crew cut. On his face, he had Hades black eyebrows that gave him a cool look and a pair of saturn shaped eyes that were cold and dark. He also had arched cheekbones and a lantern jaw that was square and firm. His Atlas shoulders were broad and gave him an imposing look. And his eyes were the most enchanting blue Sara had ever seen.

It was him! He was the wolf who had saved her the previous night. She was already out of it when he changed back into his human form the previous night so she didn't remember much of how else he looked but those blue eyes were a striking dead give away.

Sara watched with anticipation and apprehension as her saviour walked towards her in long, firm strides, his eyes never leaving hers. He stopped a few feet from the bed and his gaze roamed over her as if assessing her. Their eyes met again and he turned to the maid.

"Leave us", he commanded, his tone soft yet firm.

The maid bowed.

"Yes, my alpha"

Sara's blood ran cold.
