Chapter 73
"Who are you?" I question watching him keenly if he poses any threat.
"My apologies, where are my manners? I'm Lucas the Omega of the Crysant pack" he introduces, coughing a little.
"Have we met before?" I question still keeping my distance.
"When you were sold off to the pack I was assigned to help ward off the attacks, seeking solidarity in your pack, they planned to use you as bait, sadly I couldn't make it"
That is a foolish idea if you ask me but I focus on the bright side: he knows the route back to my pack.
"Please help me return my pack, I need your help" I pleaded.
The moon goddess is praised. What are the chances to run into such help?
"I'm sorry I can not help you" He says sadly, diminishing the spark in me.
"Returning to get your pack for help is risky the pack is being attacked frequently, and I expect a huge one soon, I had to return to warn the Alpha our rivals are thirsty and this is not a battle we can face alone, I'm sorry I cannot risk your life my comrades didn't make it" in his eyes I could read the sadness.
"If you make it to my pack, promise me you'll inform them about me" I'm sure Jaden will come bursting here to save me from this place.
"That I can do will give them more reason to help us" Twisting.his legs he grunts.
"It doesn't hurt so much" struggling to his feet I take his hand supporting him.
The healing is taking its course, a few hours should be enough for him to recover fully.
"Thank you Hailey I'll be sure to help you just like you have tonight" with a small smile he limps away and I return to my room, my heart warm knowing I have a shimmer of hope left.
I jump from my bed when I hear an explosion, the loud bang is eclipsed by screams and loud footsteps.
A creeping fear nags at me as someone knocks loudly.
"The pack is under attack, run to the safe house" the voice announces.
I slide to the far end of the room digging my nails deep into my ears, shutting out the chaos around me.
Please help me mother, moon goddess please protect me and my baby. I pray
"Ahhh!" I scream in terror as the window is broken and a foot step inside the room having no choice I run out the door and get hit by a frightened lady
I wince in pain holding on to the wall behind me, she doesn't stop after the impact running as if her life depended on it because it did.
I hurry behind her, careful not to get caught in the stampede. The halls are dark and polluted with smoke that made me gag.
"Move aside" a guard pushes me to the side and I crash into a door.
Turning around a black vicious wolf races towards me.
Instinctively I struggle with the doorknob opening the door and closing it behind me.
My heart races as I hear scratches behind the wall. After a while, it stops and I finally breathe regretting it immediately the dusty room makes me sneeze. If you are not reading this novel on Jobni b.com, some sentences are incomplete. Waving my hand in front of me I cough as I walk deeper into the room.
It looks like a lot of unordered furniture, shelves, utensils and a lot of other things I can't see.
I cough once more and decide I can't stay in the room longer. I will suffocate from the dust and lack of air space.
Ducking under cobwebs and creeping through the right, I find my way to the window where a few rays of light passed through.
It's still late, Lucas had revealed to expect an attack soon but not this soon.
Climbing on a table I try to push the window open but it doesn't budge. It's sealed shut.
I give off the frustration that my only way out of this pack house is through recklessness.
The door is banged a few times, my hand goes to my mouth as I hold a breath standing motionless.
Whoever's behind that door is determined because they don't stop hitting on it.
Frightened I walk carefully down from the table and hide in between it and a closer shivering and praying I don't get caught.
My stomach knots as they break the door open a few footsteps stomp in.
"Search ubiquitous here" One of them commands.
Using flashlights they survey the room.
The Footsteps getting closer are really rattling in between tables.
Sinking deeper into my hiding spot I hug my legs trying to make them stop shaking.
His Flashlight roams in front of me as his footsteps get louder.
"There's someone here" He yells, giving me a bit of relief.
He walks in the other direction and they leave the room.
After I get control of my breath I rise from my soot rubbing my arms and the night suddenly feels colder.
That was a close call the next time I might not be so lucky walking carefully. I stood behind the door and this side of the pack house was a bit quiet.
Taking a brave step I hate stepping back a bloody cursor greeting me outside the entrance of the door.
I bite the back of my hand concealing my screams.
It's a dead child with a knife at the top of his head. I relax behind the wall.
I had thought the sight of blood doesn't get to be anymore oh how wrong I.was.
Ge looks so young not a day older than three and these wretched beasts couldn't live.
Maybe it's the fact I'm carrying my child and the thought of losing him unbearable but I break down sobbing.
This is not a good time to let my emotions get the best of me, but I can't help it.
A shadow hovers on me making me crawl backward for safety, I judder knowing it's too late, I have been spotted.
"Oh thank goodness I finally found you" he says with a sigh. Stepping closer into the light Dimitri stands wearing an all-black warrior attire, a bloody mess and risks of a nasty stench. I've never felt such solace in my entire life as I rush into his arms hugging him.
