Sheryl’s P.O.V. (Continued)
My ears perked up when I heard someone yelling, or more than two people yelling angrily.
With a furiously beating heart, I slowly moved my face, which was now completely glued to the wall at the end of the wall.
My grip on the cycle's grills was tightened in fear.
My eyes widened in horror when I saw the horrible scene in front of me.
I immediately straightened my face, my whole back pressed to the wall and the cycle pressed on my abdomen.
There were actually seven rogues in human forms, and they were fighting with a pack member.
That member had his back towards me. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t tell by his back who he was.
Rogues were cursing aloud while trying to pin him down, but he was a good fighter.
“Run, Sheryl. You will be a liability for him instead of being a help. Go and find help for him,” I urged myself in my heart.
I was about to move away when I saw a rogue who was lying on the ground suddenly get up and pick up a solid stick from the ground.
Before I could even make a sound, he hit that pack member on his head from behind. I covered my mouth with both my hands to stop myself from screaming.
He hissed in pain and kicked the rogue in front of him.
He staggered a little but moved on his heels swiftly, grabbing that stick and breaking it before kicking that rogue.
I wanted to go and help him, but I know my abilities very well.
I decided to go and bring help for him instead of standing still here.
I rode the cycle hurriedly and almost fell one time because my body was trembling hard.
I started paddling with all my strength to get out of the alley as soon as possible and bring help for him.
There is no way that I will let anything happens to any pack member of mine even if they loathe me.
I stopped right at the exit of the alley and took my phone out of my jacket pocket with trembling hands. I was trembling so hard that I almost dropped the phone in my first attempt.
Werewolves don’t need cell phones, but now all the people keep a cell phone with them to search for something or to order something online.
People like me and minors use them to communicate too.
“Hello, hello. I.. I am seven blocks before The Bridge High School. Th.. there are seven or more rogues here in a back alley behind The Patrix. They are fighting with a pack member, probably a minor; I don’t know. Pl.. please send help,” I told the person who picked up the call in the Gamma’s office, which is responsible for the pack’s security.
I kept my tone hushed so that those rogues wouldn’t hear me.
“Sheryl, is that you?” the person asked me in a shocked tone.
“Yes.. yes. It’s me. Please send someone here. He.. he is fighting b.. but they are more than seven. Please send help,” I pleaded desperately, glancing behind me from time to time.
I almost screamed in fear when I heard a shrill scream coming from that side.
“Goddess! Run from there, Sheryl. The help is on their way,” the person whom I still didn’t recognize asked me anxiously.
“He… he is alone… I… I am at south entrance of the alley.” I told him in a trembling voice, looking towards that direction with a fearful gaze.
“For Goddess’ sake, Sheryl. Run away. You can’t fight them,” that person almost yelled at me, making me more afraid than I was already.
“Okay,” I still uttered a response and hung up.
He is right. I should run away if I want to live. Those rogues will kill him soon, and then they will come for me.
I put my phone in my jacket and removed the jacket. I was feeling so hot that I thought that I would get a heatstroke.
Blame the adrenaline rush for that.
I started padding again after stuffing my jacket inside my bag and putting a mask on my face. I was afraid that there would be more rogues outside the alley.
Although I had masked my scent, they could recognize me by my face too, right?
I started paddling again after tying a scarf on my head too.
Why did I have a scarf with me?
Because I don’t know if I’ll get any injury on my head at any time in school, and I don’t want my grandpa worried to see those injuries.
I heard more screams coming from that side, which only made my heart run a marathon with all its strength.
“Run, Sheryl. Run,” I urged myself and started driving the bike again.
But I couldn’t go further, not even outside the alley.
Damn it.
Having a conscience is also a big disadvantage in a situation like this.
His family will be devastated if something happens to him today, and I won’t be able to live guilt-free all my life.
I saw him getting hit on the head. He didn’t alert the pack security. It meant that he is also a minor. No matter how good his built is, he will be exhausted soon because of blood loss.
He would die soon if he doesn’t get help.
I couldn’t see his face, or else I would have known who that boy is.
Still, it doesn’t matter. My heart was now beating furiously against my ribcage, making me feel a bit of pain there.
“No, Sheryl. They are rogues, the bad people who kill anyone without even blinking once, and you are just a pathetic wolf-less girl. You are no match for them,” I scolded myself, berating myself in my heart in the process.
My grip on the handle of the bike tightened while I continued breathing heavily, jerking my head a little a few times.
“Goddess, Sheryl! Think about your grandpa. What will happen to him if something happens to you?” I continued scolding myself, but it was as if my body had its own mind. I moved the bike in the previous direction once again.
“Okay…. This will be the last time that I will try to save a life. After that, I will keep my eyes shut to worldly affairs like this.”
As I said earlier, having a conscience is bad in the situation.
I almost fell to the ground with my bike when I heard more growls coming from behind me now.
“Damn it. You are doomed, Sheryl. You are going to die today,” I scolded myself before starting to drive the bike inside the alley with all the strength left in my body.
Either because of the adrenaline rush or my desire to live because now rogues were behind me too, I drove at a high speed, taking a sharp turn at the corner, getting the attention of all of them.
The boy was now holding two rogues, beating them brutally, and two rogues were about to attack him from behind.
I slowly leaned my body down, picking up a thick rod from the ground, and threw it towards those two rogue attackers behind that boy.
Of course I was good at aiming. I am an athlete and also a part of the archery team.
Before they could register, the rod hit both of them straight on their faces, making them scream in pain.
“More are coming. Come on, let’s go,” I yelled at the boy in panic, hitting the brake near him.
He threw the rogues on the ground and hopped on the bike behind me.
I accelerated the bike with all my strength, leaving exhaustion like a black cloud on their faces, and drove away.
Damn it. He is heavy. I felt as if my bike would flip over because of his weight on the back.
I gasped in shock when the boy sitting behind me wrapped his hands around my waist.
What the hell?
How could he do this to me?
I could feel his aura. He must be of a high rank.
Who was he?
I know all the high-ranking families, and he isn’t one of them.
Is he visiting our pack from another pack?
And he also has a strong wolf.
Maybe a future alpha or beta?
“Why didn’t you call anyone for help? Are you stupid or what?” I yelled at him while still driving at a fast speed.
“Fighting seven rogues at your own? A… are you a superhero or what?” I continued; the adrenaline started settling down in my body, and I felt pain in my injuries now.
“You really had a death wish,” I mumbled and was about to relax my body as we were now far from that alley, and I saw a group of warriors going there when I gasped in shock while straightening my back.
He… he… he just pinched my waist?
What the f**K?
“You are still so loud,” he commented in a hoarse voice.
I hit the brake abruptly, resulting in my body falling forward, pressed by his muscular chest.
“Get off,” I yelled angrily.
Sylvester’s P.O.V.“Last night, Sheryl really did something that a Luna should do during chaos like that, Sylvester.” Raymond remarked in a low voice while getting on the passenger seat of my car. We were going to school, as we had an important competition today.The last night's chaos made us work until 2 in the morning. All of us were exhausted, but we can’t skip this competition. We were going to play our first football competition of this season. As the captain, I couldn’t skip.My head snapped in his direction, surprised by the fact that he called Sheryl, Luna.“The way Gabriel reacted to her in his rut, his protectiveness, your possessiveness, and the fact that your mate is still a minor. I am not that dumb to join these pieces.” He explained, and I took a deep breath.“Yeah. She is our mate, but we can’t say this aloud.” I replied to him while starting the car.“I must say that I saw Luna Hailley in her last night. The way she comforted the affected pack members and their famil
Gabriel’s P.O.V. (Continued)“No one. She can’t come to our floor.” She answered, but confusion was evident in her voice.“She is here. Not outside my suite, but on our floor. Carter went to stop her, but you need to come back. I have no strength left to deal with her.” I asked her tiredly but frowned when I heard Shannon arguing with Carter.“I will be there in five.” Mom replied to me and hung up.Five minutes. I can’t tolerate her for five seconds. Five minutes will be nothing but pure torture.I dialed Calvin’s number while standing up. “Yes, Alpha?” He asked me hurriedly after picking up the call.“Get your sister out of the pack house in one minute, or you will regret having her as your sister, Calvin.” I thundered while standing up.No voice came from his side, and soon he hung up. I slowly got up, taking a few deep breaths before walking towards the door. Carter left the door half open, and that’s why I could hear what they were arguing about out there.She was once again usin
Gabriel’s P.O.V.“How did this happen?” I asked Calvin in a hoarse voice after learning the situation around Sheryl’s apartment.“Alpha Adrian and my father are still investigating the situation. As far as I know, they have been waiting for an opening to enter the apartment, and tonight, somehow, they got that opening.” He replied to me, and I narrowed my eyes.“Sylvester was with her all this time, and if my information is right, Sylvester is the one who left her home tonight. I am sure that he has ensured the safety of that place before leaving. So, how did they get the opening?” I asked him sternly.His jaw clenched by the questioning, and it only made me scoff internally. Sylvester told me about what Shannon did that day and what Sylvester did in return.To be honest, I was also disappointed with Calvin because of Shannon’s past action and his indulgence towards him.“We are still investigating.” He replied in a stiff voice.I dismissed him with a wave of my hand and pulled my la
Sheryl’s P.O.V. (Continued)I bit my nails anxiously, worried for my grandfather. I looked at the door when Maya came inside.“Are you okay, Sheryl?” She asked me worriedly while coming towards me, but my eyes widened in horror when I saw a big cut starting from the edge of her jaw going down to her neck on the right side.“M….aya.” I couldn’t even take her name properly because of fear.“I am okay, honey. This will heal soon.” She embraced me tightly and comforted me.“They didn’t do anything to Mike, did they?” I asked her in a shaky voice when I remembered that Mike hadn’t come out yet.“Thank Goddess, he wasn’t home tonight. He went to his friend’s home for a sleepover.” She told me, and I felt my knees go jelly when the relief washed over.“Maya.” Sylvester called her after getting out of the bathroom. I still had my back towards him.“Are you going to take her with you, Alpha? The door is not strong enough to hold another blow. It can be a possibility that they come back.” She a
Sheryl’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Get inside and close the door.” Grandpa barked at me, but I shook my head in refusal.“No, Grandpa. Mind-link everyone.” I urged while running towards him.“I already have, Sheryl. But go inside your room now.” He roared at me while pushing me towards my room.“I am not going anywhere, Grandpa.” I yelled at him in panic when the knocks became frequent.I heard a loud roar outside the door, and it made my heart sink. It was Sam.Grandpa almost threw me to the couch and ran towards the door.My heart was now thudding hard against my ribcage.Grandpa opened the door and locked it from outside as soon as he got out.“Grandpa. Grandpa.” I screamed at the top of my lungs and was about to run when I heard a very faint sound of something broken downstairs.“S**t.” I cursed and ran towards my room with a furiously beating heart. Because of the panic, I felt as if my heart would burst out of my chest at any time.“I ran towards the window and closed it, locked it an
Sheryl’s P.O.V.“What took you so long? And why are you in Alpha Sylvester’s t-shirt? They didn’t hurt you, did they?” I stopped in my tracks and looked at my grandfather in disbelief.“Do you think that I would be walking straight if I am hurt?” I asked him flatly, and he grunted.“You have a medicinal smell on you, mixed with—” He sniffed while moving his nose in my direction, but I stepped back.“I am perfectly fine, Grandpa. Grabiel was in trouble. Something happened to him, and they put him under silver chains.” I told him truthfully while walking towards my room.“Silver chains? What are you saying? What exactly happened to him?” he yelled in shock and disbelief while following me to my room.“I don’t know, but he was in bad shape, and …. I don’t know what gotten into me suddenly; I threw myself on him to heal him,” I told him truthfully what I did.My grandpa knew about my abilities. He knew that I needed to touch the person whom I wanted to heal or feel the urge to heal.“You
