" And where are we going? " I asked and looked at James. " Well, the first time I ran here, it was in a forest further away, almost out of the pack territory. It's a great place. There would be no reason for the wolves here to run so far away if there are forests closer. If they run today. " He concluded. " Got it. " " We will have to take a bus and get off at a stop outside the city. It will only take a few minutes. " " What a complication... " " No, it'll be fun, you'll see. " He smiled. We proceeded to the nearest bus stop and took the bus that went to the neighboring city. The bus we took was almost empty, so it was not a problem. We got off at one of the roadside stops just like James said. And just behind the bus stop, there was a small trail leading between the trees. I followed James in the rain and couldn't wait to get there soon. After about five minutes of walking, we arrived at what looked like a small shack where there was a water pump. " It's okay, no one's com
I growled and moved into position. Sarah was right behind me, but I soon felt the air change. I knew she couldn't hold her dominance for long after seeing a wolf challenge us. It was the same way as when she first saw me, but now she seemed to be able to hold her anger a little.The wolf began to walk toward me slowly. Its paws sinking into the puddles, its head bowed as it growled harshly. Probably trying to find a perfect moment to attack or prolong the moment until the others arrived. He wants to challenge me. I can't stay here with Sarah for long.I growled and stared at him with the same intensity. I knew that Sarah was watching our surroundings because she remained silent.The gray wolf was a little smaller than me. I could just as well blow him away and still dominate him, but someone next to me wanted to do the same and I couldn't let him. I heard Sarah's heavy breathing and looked at her. The she-wolf was heading in his direction as well, but before she could get past me, I s
He looked around, seemed to observe the situation carefully, and when he saw some of his injured wolves, he stared at James immobilized by his more dominant wolves. Then he laid his eyes on me. Those orbs were so red and wild that they could frighten anyone in my place. I had never seen a wolf with eyes that color before. And that... that was not of this earth. I felt my breathing become heavy and my body tense up like it had never been before. But I still managed to bar my teeth at him and face him with hostility. James was closer to him than I was. It must have been hell. I looked at the lone man, who looked back at me worriedly. He was all bruised up, but he was still trying to get loose. He was shaking his head at me, but I didn't know what he meant by that. He growled and let out air through his nostrils and tried once more to bite the wolf beside him, but he couldn't loosen his grip. Alpha began to transform, and I lost the air in my lungs at his human form. He was tall, had
JamesSarah finally decided to do as I said and ran like never before through the forest. The she-wolf took off like a coppery bolt of lightning without even looking back. And I was much more relieved now. Because luckily she was fast enough to lose them. As for me, what they were going to do now didn't matter. I had been through this before. Not with a sizeable pack like this, but I already knew how things would work out. And Sarah was still their major focus. I would just be an unexpected tool for them to find her. And they would probably do some pretty nasty things to get me to open my mouth."Take him away." The damned Alpha said. "I'm going after her." I saw a damn smile appear on his face."You won't be able to catch her, you know that, right?" I said. The more I roll him, the farther away Sarah will be.He looked at me and his smile disappeared."You don't know me, loner." It turned and transformed without even giving me time to say anything else. Skin tearing and reforming int
James"Is that any way to treat a guest?" I whispered, spitting out the blood that dripped from my mouth."You are not a guest. We just want to know where the she-wolf is.""I said. Why don't you look up your butt?" I looked at the dark-haired wolf and then turned my face to face the other one holding the chain. My voice was no longer as strong as I had imagined. I am destroyed.My skin was all burned because of the silver. The idiots made a point of leaving it raw."Will you continue playing with us?" he asked. "We don't want to kill you. Your female left the warning."The T-shirt that used to be white, was washed with blood."She is not my..." I stopped talking and spit up some more blood. These guys were getting rough. I think I'm getting a little dizzy, but I'm not going to fall for their teasing. "Why don't you call your Alpha here? I need to talk to him, not you.""He will still talk to you, lonely. You don't have to worry about that now. And believe me, it will be far worse if
SarahAfter I finished my shower, I went straight to bed. It was a little chilly, so I quickly wrapped myself in the covers. The twinges in my ribs were completely keeping me awake and the smell of James on each sheet fiber only made me wonder more.I rolled from side to side and after long minutes and many twinges in my body, I finally managed to find a slightly less uncomfortable position and dozed off. Yes, nap. I was in too much pain and my head was full of worry that they would let me sleep well. The only good thing knew that I was in James's room, but the uncertainty of not being completely safe bothered me.I woke up to a soft noise coming from my backpack. I looked at the window and realized that it was morning. And I was a wreck.Shit... I didn't even look like I slept. I let out a grunt of irritation and stood up slowly. The stinging in my ribs didn't even seem to improve and when I moved, I wanted to scream in pain. And that was making me worried.I stretched out on the bed
Sarah In fact I still wasn't sure about meeting that man. However, he was going to trust James words. I had no choice but to risk it. As I always have. "But I'm not going to talk to him today, all right? I need some time to think. To recover and to formulate my words. "He looked at me fearfully. "If Stanley is what he says, he will understand my side. "You're not thinking of running away, are you? "What? "Oh, I don't know... Maybe you... "I thought about the possibility, but I wouldn't leave you here. James gave a lazy smile. "I would find you anyway. "He raised an eyebrow. "I would find you in some cheap hotel or maybe working in some diner. No matter where you were. "I'll write that down. "I laughed. "But Sarah, are you sure you don't want to settle this today? "No. I'm not prepared to face all of this today. I still haven't prepared my head to see Stanley. I need to practice some ready"made phrases. I think "Have mercy and let me stay" is a great one, don't you? "I tried t
Sarah James got up and I soon saw the three of them look at our table. For me it was as if time had stopped and my heart could be heard from miles away. The irises were no longer crimson, but now had a bluish cast and were turned towards me. The taller, dark"haired man's gaze was fully focused on me. The same black wolf that I saw on the side of the road through the bus window was there a few meters away. Close to my only escape point. "If you want, you can wait outside. I'll pay and then we'll leave. "I agreed and got up too. James headed towards them and I headed towards the exit with steady steps. I passed two meters away from the Alpha and could feel the heavy air. The scent of mint and musk was evident. I had sensed that same essence in the forest when he appeared. I couldn't even look at him properly when he walked in. Up close he looked even more intimidating and all the words of hate that had been stored inside me melted away. And I waited. I waited for him to stop me or sto
