Ruarc could not get up. He laid facedown there in the mud and dirt taking painful breaths. The metallic stench of blood is so strong and Ruarc feels sick to his gut. He would have thrown up if he could. His wounds were not healing. No wound hurt more than the wound of the heart, his mother always said whenever Ruarc spots a bruise on a body part. He knew his mother was abused, is still abused, for a reason he could not understand. He did not know what to feel when Massa stopped. It meant that she was wide awake. Ruarc closed his eyes and envisioned her. She would be standing before a mirror, tracing Sia's mark with her fingers, still trying to come to terms with what happened. He heard the sound of approaching footsteps and rustling of leaves. He sniffed the air.Humans. "Oh Daniel look what I've found". A human female. He heard a grunt, and he figured that was Daniel. "A naked man Sarai. Come on now let's go". "But we can't leave him like this". "Of course we can". "Danny!". "D

The screeching of tires pulls me out of my thoughts. The car lurches to an abrupt stop and I'm thrown forward, my head connecting with the dashboard with so much force. I wish I had worn a seat belt, but I didn't because of my shoulder. Warm blood trickles down the bridge of my nose and I mutter a curse. That seems to bring the stupid man on my left back to reality."Shit! Crinka are you okay?"."Do I look okay!", I yell, bringing my hair out of my eyes so that I can have a proper look at Sia. I gasp when I see the idiot biting back a smile. Had he done that on purpose?"You did this on purpose? What the fuck is wrong with you Sia? Are you trying to kill me?"."Always bringing murder into everything Crinka. I thought you were asleep since you were closing your eyes and giving me the silent treatment. I only tried to wake you up not kill you".Now the airbag has showed up. Wake me up? Is that how to wake people up? What a sadistic asshole! He was trying to kill me!."Well stop thoughti

"I will challenge my father tonight. In the morning we fight", he breathed. "The earlier the better, don't you think?".I didn't even know when I nodded. Lyles had been very happy to see me, and he scolded Sia for not bringing me sooner. We are in Lyles house, and I don't think I want to meet the pack just yet. I am now a rogue, and upon seeing me, their first instinct is to kill me"."About that Lyles, I don't think you should challenge your father for the alpha title".He looked at me like I was stupid. He then looked at Sia. "You talked her into this didn't you?".Sia raised his hands in defense. "Hey, I know nothing".I scowled. The bastard. Denying me when I needed him. What happened to always saying the truth?"Well Crinka, I know exactly what your problem is", he spoke and I laughed."You do? Funny because I didn't think I had any problems".Sia rose a brow at this. What? You didn't stick to telling the truth, so why should I?"Your problem is, you don't want me to be an alpha,

It was when Sia returned from his trip to the 'great castle', that I remembered the conversation Anita and I had before her death. Maybe I should have welcomed him before firing him with questions, but I needed to know for what peculiar reason the asshat wants me dead. "Anita and I spoke..." He cut me off. "I didn't know you spoke to ghosts". I glared at him. "Before she died, we had a conversation, and she revealed to me your cruel intentions". "I've always had cruel intentions, so no surprise there". "Are those intentions cruel to the point that you want to kill me? That you want me dead? I'm your mate Sia, by the blood bond that is. You can't wish me dead". "I don't wish you dead. I want you dead period". "But why? I know I might be annoying at times", I paused when he shot me a look. "Okay maybe all the time, but annoyance isn't simply enough reason to want someone dead". "Firstly, you're not someone. Omegas are never someones. Two, you're right about that. Me wanting you

"I want to see Ruarc". Brazen eyes lifted and meet mine. I had run all the way here, and my torn shirt hung off my shoulders, showing enough amount of skin. He had the decency to look away. "He doesn't want to see you". "Oh cut me the crap Cocci. Take me to him now". He refused of course and I stormed out. If he wouldn't let me near him, I would bring him to me. I'm exhausted when I reached a small house not too far from Cocci's home. It was not there before, or maybe I just missed it. I sniff the air. Human, and he's male. Perfect. I kick the door open, and I dodge the bat which was aimed at me. Slipping into the house with ease, I disarm the man, shutting the door close. He picks up the baseball bat again, and I move away, to the farther end of the room. "Look, I don't want to hurt you". He stares at me baffled. "You expect me to believe that? You broke into my house!". "And I have a perfectly good reason for doing so. Look, I just need you to kiss me". He blinks. "Are you
