LOGINCHAPTER TWO
FINN I killed another bug against my leg, tired of waiting for Oli to find me. It was already dark now; there was no way I could go back to the bakery. “So much for him finding me” I grumbled under my breath, the silence of the forest unnerving me even further. I trudged my way through the woods, anxious to get back to Oli; the thought of being alone in here was one I liked. After walking for more than thirty minutes; I was still nowhere near the camp site Oli had set up. “Maybe I missed a path” I mumbled to myself, retracing my steps back. After what felt like another thirty minutes, I was still in the forest, standing in front a tree I was certain I had passed by a hundred times already. It was safe to say I had managed to get lost. The slight cramp in my lower belly wasn’t helping matters at all. “Oli!” I hollered out, walking straight ahead. The stupid need to win the game had landed me where I was. Something rustled behind me; I startled, jumping back away from it. A bush rat scurried away under my watch, causing me to loosen up slightly. “Oli, where are you?!” I hollered out again, resting against a tree in exhaustion. The cramping in my lower belly had gotten so bad, it was difficult to walk anymore. I stiffened as the sweet smell associated with an omega’s heat filled the air. “No, no, no, it can’t be” I grabbed at my shirt, sniffing like crazy hoping the scent wasn’t from me. I had to get out of the forest right- A low growl broke the silence of the forest behind me, my body tensing up regardless of the cramps. “Hello, pretty omega” Despite all the warning bells ringing frantically in my head, I turned to look at the person who had just spoken. Fear held me in a choke hold as I met red colored eyes. A rogue. My feet took off before my brain could register what I was doing. My heat raced with fear at each footstep I heard behind me, the need to see the camp fire Oli had set up burned through me fiercely. I tripped on a broken branch, a prickle of pain indicating I had injured myself. “You could have saved yourself this trouble if you had collected what you were suppose to” This time around it was a different person that spoke. There were multiple red eyes now, their faces twisted with the dark. Cackles rang out around me as crushing pain and pleasure ran through me. “Hold him, boys. Let’s put him out of his misery” I crawled backwards as two pairs of red eyes approached me. I pushed to my feet then, fueled by fear and adrenaline. “What are you looking at?! Get him!” I heard their leader snarl behind me. I limped as fast as I could, my pants getting wet with slick. I wheezed in and out, my vision growing blurry as I heard multiple people run after me. My lungs seized up; my breathing stopping for a second. I was having a panic attack. Tears slid down my cheeks as I felt a whisper of a hand brush across my neck. My body seemed to fail me just when I needed it; how befitting. But I was not going to succumb to mindlessness because of my designation. I slapped myself hard across the face; my breathing coming back to normal at once. But it was too late; the rogues had gained on me. “I know I can’t run anymore, p-please don’t hurt me” I pleaded as I came to a halt. I raised my hand above my head, watching them as my wolf keened within me. “Good, we won’t hurt you. We would pleasure you all night lon-” Their groan of pain echoed behind me as I shuffled away. I used up the only trick I had up my sleeve. The pepper spray Oli had given me during the opening of the bakery had served its use. I let out a whimper as my stomach cramped up even more, slick running down my thighs as I sighted a tunnel before me. I limped towards it, grateful for the escape from the rogue wolves. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if… My vision doubled for a while, causing me to stumble briefly before I got back to my feet. I glanced down at my body only to see I was bleeding. I pressed down again the wound, limping towards the other side of the tunnel. My breath was harsh as my vision winked in and out, pain radiating through me at each step I carried. There seemed to be a light at the end of the tunnel, only if I could make it there before they caught up to me. Black dots began to encroach into my vision but I shook it away, I was few steps away from the light now. I was there already- A body slammed me into the ground, causing a whimper of pain to leave my lips. I was rolled onto my back, the back of my head throbbing with pain as a hand gripped my jaw tight. “You thought you could run away, Omega?” I tried to free myself, revulsion curdling up within me at the strange touch. “P-please let me go” I pleaded, pushing weakly at the Alpha’s chest. “Only when I have gotten my fill of you” The Alpha responded, burying his nose into my scent spot. My wolf howled in pain within me, but was too weak with heat to help me in anyway. “D-don’t do this” I let out, my voice merely a whisper as the Alpha lapped at my scent spot continuous, bruising the already delicate skin. Helplessness washed over me as I felt the Alpha rip through my shirt, his coarse textured hand touching at my delicate skin. Tears slipped down my cheeks as pain from heat and what was about to happen became clearer as the Alpha tore away my pants.CHAPTER NINETEEN FINN“Oliver?” I whispered, partly in question, partly in shock.“I am sorry. So fucking sorry” he gritted out, wrapping his hands around me in a hug.“W-what are you doing here?” I mumbled.“I am sorry I couldn't fight for you like I was meant to” his hands tightened around me further.“Y-you idiot! I never wanted you to fight for me. Y-you could have died in the fight!” I whispered, my tone furious.“I know. I knew you wouldn't want me to do it but…I was getting desperate after all the time I had spent looking for you” The fear and anxiety that had dominated my being during the period after my heat came rushing back.“I h-had prayed really hard that you find me” I sniffled, tears blurring my vision.“I should have found you earlier” “There was no way you would have known where I was. Nobody knew the mad king was real” I mumbled out, pushing away from the high slightly.Something flashed across his eyes at that point, before it was gone.“I was scared to be honest
CHAPTER EIGHTEENFINNThe man’s words kept ringing in my head, my gaze involuntarily finding that of Alpha Xavier.“Come on, Dad. That was ages ago” Mildred laughed as she stepped a foot away from Alpha Xavier.He held my gaze, his eye searching mine for….something I didn't know.“Let's head over to the dining room” He gestured, his deep voice cause me to jump slightly.A concoction of feelings rolled through me as I watched Alpha Xavier's broad shoulder beside Mildred's petite form.There was no need to feel any type of way. Surely I would find a way out of here.That might even be tonight.We all moved to the dining room, the hallway opening into the space.The dining room looked more like a part of the Alpha’s castle back in town was detached and brought here.I tilted back my head to take in the intricate designs on the celling.A depiction of a huge wolf with red eyes in the middle of a roar caught my attention.There was no doubt this was Alpha Xavier when he had both of his ey
CHAPTER SEVENTEENFINNAs Alpha Xavier had said, his second in command brought over the clothes to the room I was in.“Are you okay?” I heard him ask. “I…Is there a way I could quickly get to town? I…I would be back before the guests arrive” I pleaded, wrapping the blanket tighter around myself.His face softened for a split second before it went blank. “I am not stupid, I know you are looking for an opening to run away”I froze, my eyes dropping to his boots. “I a-am sorry” I stuttered out, a tired exhale escaping from me.“You don’t have to be. Alpha Xavier is a good man despite the side of him you have seen so far. You just have to…give him sometime to trust you” He stepped out of the room then, shutting the door behind him.I should give the mad king time to trust me? That wasn’t a bad idea but how long would I have to wait?When do I know that would happen? A year? Two or more?“I can’t allow despair swallow me whole like this” I mumbled to myself as I stood up from the bed.Dr
CHAPTER SIXTEEN FINNI turned to face Yelsa, my hands wrapping around my midriff as her smile got wider when our eyes connected.Why was she here? Smiling as if she hadn’t done anything wrong.“Do you need anything? More blanket? Food?” She drew closer to me, walking past the healer and his apprentice.I wanted to move back but nerves had my hands fixed in place, breath not reaching my lungs properly.My throat felt glued together, my eyes fixed on her kind looking face as she came to sit beside me on the bed.“Oh dear, you must have been so scared” Her voice trembled as she wrapped her hands around me.“We would take our leave now” The healer bowed before he left the room, his apprentice right behind him.I wanted to scream at them not to leave me alone with her, to take stay till she is gone but they were gone before I could try to push against the building sickness in my throat.“If you tell anyone what happened, I would tell the Alpha you are a spy” Yelsa said once the door to th
CHAPTER FIFTEENFINN“What is wrong with him?!”“He is burn up!”Several voices echoed around me at the same time. I tried to stand up and tell them who had caused my current state but couldn’t.I tried to move but all my muscles feel like they were resisting any movement. The darkness behind my lids scared me more than the fate I had met in the hand of someone I was coming to trust.Yelsa. The look in her eyes as I fell to the ground was one I could never forget.“Why isn’t he waking up?!” I heard Alpha Xavier roar out. A whine slip out of me at the sound of angry roar.“I-I am doing all I can, A-alpha” A softer male voice stammered out as I felt Alpha Xavier clasp his hand over mine.“Do everything up your sleeves to wake him up” He responded, his tone lowering in intensity before I felt his hand slip away from mine.“What are we going to do?! The Alpha seems to be in a bad mood” A new masculine voice proclaimed.“We try to eradicate the poison that was injected into his system” The
CHAPTER FOURTEENXAVIERThe sight of pearly shaped tears sliding down his cheeks had my body tensing up. I glanced down at my bloodied hand, something bitter spreading within me.I hated shedding blood unnecessarily. That wasn’t what I wanted to portray to the wolves under me.A mad king who killed wolves in his pack when provoked. The thought had me gritting my teeth; Boma knew what he was doing, that I am sure of.I dragged open the drawer attached to my desk, bringing out the dark bottled liquor Marek had gifted to me during the last Moon Festival.Downing a shot, I relaxed against my chair, my thoughts rounding back to my mate.Finn, I heard his beta friend call him. “A fitting name for a man with skin that fair” I mumbled out distractedly.That was just the thing. My mate couldn’t be a man. My parents’ legacy would vanish off the surface of the world forever.‘But male omegas are said to be able to carry a pup’ The thought zinged through my mind before I could stop it.There was
CHAPTER EIGHTFINNThe first thing I noticed as I woke up was the absence of pain in my lower abdomen. Relief flooded me as I sat up in the bed I was on.My relief vanished as an image of me collapsing in the bathroom came to mind. How had I gotten back into the bed?Blood drained from my face as a
CHAPTER TWELVE FINNAt first, I thought I was hallucinating. There was no way he was truly here.“Finn!” I heard him call out again. His voice faint but audible.“Oliver” I mumbled, snapping back to my senses as I tried pushing the Alpha away.“You aren’t leaving this room” Alpha Xavier growled at
CHAPTER TENXAVIER“Uhm…I…” He stuttered, his eyes dropping to the floor as he cowered away from me.I gritted my teeth at his reaction to me. My wolf trying to take over my autonomy.“You would remain in this room unless I ask you to be brought out, is that clear?” He jumped slightly, his whole b
CHAPTER THIRTEENFINN“No” Oliver declared. I knew at that moment that he knew.“How about we have a duel? If I win, I get to take him back home and if you do…he stays” My blood ran cold at his words. That bloodied fool! My entire life now balanced on a bet between two people who think they can co
