Rejection And Death

Sophia’s POV

The blackness was still there, but it felt different now. It was like something was happening to me, something was running through my entire body, fixing me, making me powerful.

“Just hold on Sophia. I am your wolf, Bria. You must fight the darkness. We are almost there. We are one of the last of our kind, Sophia. We have super strength and live longer than most wolves. We are quicker than most. We are the last bloodline of the original werewolves, Sophia, so you must survive. It is your destiny.” Bria says in my head and I could feel the ancient blood coursing through my veins.

“That’s why my parents were killed?” I said out loud in my head.

“Sophia, that I do not know. There is more to us, but I don’t know what it is. But it made everyone hunt us down and kill us all. But if you die, then you will never know. You need to survive to reject our mate.” She said to me.

“Who is our mate?” I asked her.

“One of the ones that did this to us, Sophia. You must reject him so we can get away and find our true mate.” She said to me.

“Angus or Cyrus is our mate?” I said to her, I felt sick. I knew I could not be sick, but this made me sick to the core.

“I will reject him and Cyrus will die for what he did to me.” I said to her with conviction in my voice, and that is what I used to keep me going. Revenge! Everyone in this god damn pack was going to pay for what they did to me and my parents. I was going to find everyone that had screwed over my parents as well. I wanted blood, and I was going to get it.

I got up off the blanket where they had left me to die on. My legs were a little stiff, but I knew it was because I had been down for what would have been a few weeks, but who knows? I sniffed the air and couldn’t smell any guards.

“Are you ready to do this, Bria? We show no mercy to him.” I asked her, walking out of the cells.

“We have this Soph. I have your back always. I will shield you from as much pain as I can.” 

I could feel where Angus was. There was a pull, but it was nothing like I thought it would be. All I could feel was the disdain that was running through my entire being. Standing before the door where my entire life was about to change, I breathed a sigh of relief. 

‘Moon Goddess, if we survive this, I promise I will love my true mate no matter what they have done. Or if I do not find them, please allow me to finally live in peace.’ I said, sending out the silent pray to the Moon Goddess herself. 

I walked into the cafeteria. There he was, standing in the middle of the room. I wasn’t sure who he was talking to. I could feel eyes watching me. It was Angus. The shock on his face made me smile. We were going to cause this foul being a taste of his own medicine. There were gasps in the crowd as they now figured out that I had survived and now I was standing before them. Alpha Cyrus’s eyes locked onto mine. I swear I saw fear flash across his face.

“You survived, you little wh*re.” He said to me as he stepped closer to me. The tone in his voice told me he was trying to taunt me.

“Well, here I stand.” I said to him, showing that his words didn’t affect me.

“How the fuck did you survive? You are a bad curse, like I was told.” He said to me as he ran towards me.

I let him think that I wasn’t ready for his attack, so I stepped into it. He sent me flying towards the doors that I had just came through. Slamming into them. It didn’t hurt me at all, but I needed them to believe me, so I let out a whimper. The doors opened behind me. Someone looked at me, confused. It was Jarrod. I looked at Alpha Cyrus and he was still standing there.

“Sophia, is that you?” Jarrod asked me through the mind link.

“Sophia, it has been Jarrod that has been helping you all this time. I know his smell.” Bria said in my head.

“It is Jarrod, and I must thank you for all the help you have given me or I would have been dead long ago.” I said to back to him.

“Are you ok?” He asked me and he was actually worried about me.

“I am fine Jarrod, I am acting weak because I am about to kill Cyrus and reject his son as my mate and then I am out of here.” I explained to him.

“You won’t be able to get out by yourself. I have been planning to leave for the last few weeks. I have a plan in action. Can you drag this out and I will get my wife and daughter ready and then we will run together? After this, Sophia, you need to get to the oval and go south. I promise I will get us out. Now let me lift you, ok.” He explained to me and I didn’t have any reason to not trust him, so this was going to be the plan.

“See, Jarrod, you have been trying to help this little bitch, and she is weak.” Cyrus says, mocking Jarrod.

“I can’t watch you kill her. I am sorry Sophia.” He says to me and he puts me on the ground and walks back out the doors.

“I need fifteen minutes, Sophia.” He said to me and then he cut off the link. Fifteen minutes I could give him and I knew how to make it so that his path was clear. I owed him this much.

“Come on then, Alpha, you might as well kill me now.” I said to him and I knew they were the words he had been waiting to hear. He ran at me again, but I moved out of the way this time, turning in a split second to face him. There were gasps amongst the students.

“How the f*ck did you do that?” He roared at me.

“Try it again and see.” I said to him, this time taunting him. This felt so satisfying being quicker than him. He ran at me again, this time I didn’t move. I punched him straight in the f*cking nose and he stopped dead on the spot. I jumped on his back with my arms around his neck.

He didn’t seem fazed by this at all, he just laughed at me, he tried to pull me off but I was quicker; I jumped across the room, away from him. He looked angry now; he came running at me again, but this time the punch connected with my ribs. I heard them break, but there was no pain, so I whimpered and acted like he had got me. I fall to the ground in a ball; he kicked me, each one connecting to my back. I yelled out in pain. But there was no pain.

He bent down and went to whisper something in my ear, and that’s when I attacked. Jumping off the ground, I punched him as hard as I could in the face; he went flying backwards.

“F*CK OFF YOU LITTLE SL*T.” He screamed at me as I jumped on his back again. This time, my hands found his neck again. I used all the strength I had to choke him. He couldn't move out of my grip.

“See Cyrus, now you and your son are going to pay for what you did to me. You better call your men before I do this, Cyrus.” I whispered in his ear. My voice was filled with nothing but disdain for this man.

“You will not get out of here alive, you b*tch.” He struggled to say to me.

“And neither will you.” I whispered in his ear. Angus was walking towards us. He was staring at me. He looked scared.

“This is going to be the last thing you ever hear.” 

“Sophia, we are ready. Remember to get the oval and south from there.” Jarrod’s voice came in my head and that was all we needed to hear. Angus was looking at me, like he couldn’t decide what he was going to do, but he wouldn’t be looking like that in a minute. He was going to have everything ripped from him like they did to me.

“I Sophia Walker, reject you Angus Moore as my mate.” I said the words. Cyrus tried to squirm. Angus looked at me and shock was written on his face he fall to his knees grabbing his chest as the pain ripped through him, he looked at me with hate in his eyes and that’s when I grabbed Cyrus’s head in my hands and snapped his neck. There were gasps everywhere. No one knew what was happening. That was when I took off.

“Sophia, we need to shift now.” Bria said in my head and I let her take control. I was expecting there to be pain, but a split second had passed and I was now watching as we were running on all four.

“Bria, we need to get to Jarrod to help him and his family get out of here.” I said to her, and she took off in the direction he had given us. There were howls of wolves in the distance. I knew they were coming for our blood now.

“I Sophia Walker, renounce The Firewalker Pack as my pack.” I say and I could feel the bond snapping, breaking into a million pieces. For once, all I felt was power and silence and freedom. There was an ear piercing, and I knew it was Angus.

“Bria go. They are getting closer.” I said to her.

“Sophia, is that you?” I could hear Jarrod in my head, still.

“It is Jarrod, but we have to go now. You guys take the lead. I will follow up behind. They are all coming. I rejected Angus and Cyrus is dead.” I said to him. They were quiet for a few seconds. There was movement in the bushes ahead. I knew it was them and they took off in front of me.
