The innocent reject

chapter 4

Mate

I went towards the small girl

Her eyes were closed and she was shaking with fear

I touched her shoulder and she flinched

On realising it's me she jumped and threw her body at me hugging me

I haven't had a hug in long time and it felt weird

But good at the same time

I pulled her back and looked into her eyes commanding her

"Turn back and go to your pack,

Whatever happens don't stop and turn around,

Don't stop till you see someone you know!

Okay?"

She nodded but her feet were not moving

I gave her a slight push and she started walking to safe grounds

But suddenly she stopped and turned around

I understood her look

She didn't wanted to leave me

She wanted me to come with her

But that was not possible

"I said Don't look back!!just go!!"

I said raising my voice and she flinched with my harsh and rude tone

I know I shouldn't be rude and cold to her but this is just the way I am now gone is that Aleka who

considered even a single curse to be a sin.

She was reluctant but she turned back and continued to take small baby steps towards her pack

borders.

I knew she must belong to the pack which is just 400 metres away from here and then she'll be safe.

I stood there in the clearing waiting for other rogues to come

The rogue which died made a howling call meaning that he called the other rogues here.

I wouldn't let them reach her

I will be like a barrier and they would have to kill me to pass through.

Within few minutes I saw 10 wolfes coming my way

I may have fought 7 wolfes alone but today I think will be record breaking

I pulled my wolfsbane laden arrow and attacked 2 of them on their way.

6 wolves attacked me

All at once

I took my knifes in both my hands and started slashing them

Soon their brown fur has turned red with blood.

They may have long claws but I had silver knives.

I got some claw marks on my back and few on my forehead making blood drops fall in front of my eyes.

But they didn't stop me.

Within minutes they all were lying dead on the floor except one.

I could see him running towards the direction she came

I couldn't catch him with my human but I could surely stop him

I followed him and on getting a perfect aim I released the arrow hitting his calf.

He cried in pain and fell down

I approached him to end this matter when I heard heavy footsteps coming my way.

Sh**!! I didn't realise when I crossed the border and now I was standing inside a pack territory.

Rogues like me are killed at sight and me being a banished wolf worsens the situation.

If I get caught there was no way i'll escape death

So much for helping that child

But I hope she reached her parents safely otherwise all this will be in vain

The rogue I just stopped was trying to run even with a broken leg.

I turned around to run but I was too late

4 pack wolves stopped my way and when I turned around nearly 15 were standing daring me to take a

step further.

Suddenly a wolf changed into a blonde with green eyes and body size twice as mine.

He must be a gamma considering his authority

As he was waiting for his beta or alphas order

He towered over me but I refused to show fear

Well if I am going to die only why not die a fearless death

He grabbed my arms and pushed them behind me holding me in a death grip.

My arms were ready to come out of their sockets and I was feeling excruciating pain but I refused to

show it.

I had a high tolerance of pain and this was nothing compared to what I feel when I shift into my wolf

"Count your last minutes rogue!!once the Alpha comes here you are dead!"

"Well thank you mr obvious"

I said rolling my eyes

As if I didn't knew this already

His anger intensified and he further tightened his grip if that was even possible

If I run right now and get caught they will kill me this instant but if the Alpha arrives he will put me in

dungeon and give me a painful death so why not go for the former option

Also the borders were only few metres away if I could cross it I was free

I summoned all my strength and back kicked the gamma with my boots heel ,his grip loosened a bit

and I nudged my elbow into his stomach.

Taking this as an opportunity I made a run towards the border slashing the arm of the pack wolf who

tried to stop me with the knife in my pocket.

I was just a foot away from the border when I felt something big and heavy smash into me throwing my Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

tiny body high above in the air hitting the bark of a tree.

I could feel millions of needles pricking at my back as my body slid down the bark .

My earlier claw wounds opened up and I could feel my shirt soaking and getting wet in blood.

I managed to open my eyes to see a tall frame coming towards me

He had those rarest green eyes which were glaring at me with hatred.

On staring at his eyes I knew who he was

In these long 5 years he has changed to be a beautiful man with ripping muscles and handsome face

He was having a dangerous and deadly aura around him which was not there before.

I was so happy seeing him that for once I forgot what my body was feeling right now

All the pain I felt subdued

And the next second I know he was holding my neck and choking me

"You filthy rogue!!how dare you touch my daughter!!"

"I'll bloody kill you!!"
