Sold To My Alpha Mate

TIANNA.

I moved stealthily through the woods, looking out in front of me to make sure that the bastard wasn’t around. There was even a chance he could be sneaking up on me, waiting to kill me if I gave him the slightest chance. I couldn’t let that happen, not now, never! Maya and I had been on the brink of a breakthrough but I had fucked it up.

I’d allowed the man to capture her, and she had sacrificed her safety and comfort so I could run for dear life. I didn’t need a seer to ask me to run at that moment. The guilt and worry filled my head. That’s when I heard something stir in the distance. I bent down immediately and got on my knees.

I looked around me, scanning to see if it was the tracker or if it was a scared animal that had escaped at the sound of me approaching. Something told me it was the tracker. I didn’t want to take chances so I stayed there and watched. I was still watching when I heard a quick movement behind me.

I threw myself and rolled over in two, quick successive motions as that would buy me enough time to face him. His aura attacked my nostrils again. I turned back and found him lurching to grab me. I tried to move out of the way but it was already too late. He grabbed my arm and wrapped his hands around me, lulling me into a right grip.

Instinct took over as I growled out defiance, before I lashed out at his groin with the heel of my foot, aiming his most vulnerable spot. As soon as my legs connected with that area, a pained yell tore off his throat as he released his grip on me immediately before doubling over in agony.

I took the opportunity immediately, and wasted no time before giving him the final blow. I took out my blade from its sheath at my side before bringing it down across his throat. The blood speared and painted the air in its wake. He tried to move but I held him down and started to stab and cut and slice everywhere I could.

Face, eyes, cheeks, nose, I didn’t stop until he was lying there in the pool of his blood.

Very soon he began to gurgle, and more blood spilled out of his throat. I watched with satisfaction as he crumpled to the floor and his breathing ceased. He died at the spit. But there was no time to celebrate the victory now. I had to go back and get Maya a soon as possible.

They could be waiting for the tracker who had gone after me, I reckoned, and I could use it to my advantage. Alpha Orion wouldn’t be trouble, so it was going to be Maya and I against the tracker who had proved to be the toughest. I took off immediately, partly happy that I hadn’t gone a very long way. I started to run and didn’t didn’t until I began getting closer to the underbrush right in front of the cave. I crept silently while making sure to look out in front of me in case there was any danger lurking. I was shocked when I finally got back there. Maya was nowhere to be seen. I ran back into the cave after that and found nothing else, just the bodies of the two men she had killed. Panic surged through me as my worst fears became reality.

They had taken her, I was very sure of it. I knew it was going to be a very bad idea trying to follow her from here onwards, so I had to go back to the Pack and deliver what she had begged me to deliver, the news. She had wanted me to tell Venom about what happened here and who the traitor really was. Also, I had to make sure that I survived. I was grateful that I had the whole of the day to journey back home to the Black Moon Pack if I was fast enough.

That was enough motivation to keep me going. I turned away from the scene with a heavy heart before I began running. I had to press on as soon as possible and make my actions count in all of this.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

I took little bouts of rest as I made my way back to the Pack. I didn’t stop until it was night, then I napped in a tree branch for a couple of hours before waking up with bleary eyes and continuing my journey.

I finally got back to the Pack the next day, feeling so terrible. My whole body was aching and I remembered that if Maya and I had rested in that cave till this day, she would have recovered and we would have continued our journey but I guess fate had other plans. Now, we had to make sure that she was rescued.

“Tianna!” One of them approached me, looking at my bloodied dress. He helped relieve the stress by taking off the bag from my shoulders. The dizzy feeling returned but I pushed it away immediately. “Are you okay?” The deep baritone asked.

I blinked furiously before replying. “Take me to the Alpha, right now!” I growled, hoping they’d stop asking questions and do as they were told. I had to relay the information as soon as possible.

The guard nodded before he slung my arm over his shoulder and helped me walk. The balls of my feet were hurting like hell. I just wanted to get in immediately and have some moment of respite from the horrible conditions I’d been put through.

He led me into the pack, taking me straight to Alpha Venom who was in his office when I walked in. He looked so alarmed when he saw me walk in with the guards. I understood how he must have felt, because Maya wasn’t with me.

“Are you OK?” He asked, before looking over at the guards. “You should have taken her to the Packhouse before bringing her here. She looks so hurt!” He yelled out but they gave him their reasons.

“Alpha, she insisted we brought her to you. She has something to tell you.” They said, just before he waved them off.

“Wait outside the door. She needs immediate medical attention.” After that he turned towards me and asked me to talk.

“What happened? What brought you back so soon?”

“We escaped the Pack two days ago at night. And she was captured by the guards yesterday. We killed a lot but she was injured. They have her in their Pack now and something has to be done!” I added. The shock continued to spread across his face as he heard the news.

“I tried to help her, but there were too many of them. She asked me to come back and relay the information. And we found the traitor, it’s Alpha Orion! He realised we knew he was the one and came after us with trackers as soon as we escaped and-”

I felt my vision growing dizzy as the rest of the words stuck in my throat. Soon I found myself falling to the floor. I had no single control over myself now. I was so weak and full of pain. I fell into his arms.

“Tianna!” He yelled, as he tried to rouse me back to consciousness.

I tried to speak but the words remained there as if they didn’t want to come out. I had no other option but to allow the darkness to take over me.
