The irony of the situation was bittersweet. Here I was away finally hidden for good. The last of hope for Bradley to find me gone as the doors slammed. Shutting out the last of day light I would see for an on going two weeks. I was safe because I was hidden in the depths of these cells on the territory of our rival pack. He wouldn't think twice about coming onto Micha's pack land.
I would be lying if I said I didn't have a glimpse of hope when heavy footsteps walked down the corridor. As much as I wanted to be saved I wanted to die. Being without my mate for 17 days already has been mentally exhausting. Without proper nutrition or more than a pint of water I've succumbed to hallucinations. Seeing my mate come for me has been a reoccurring dream until I wake up cold and alone.
I've done this all to myself and no one else is to blame. Not even Hailey. My wolf growls at the thought of her. I'm forgiving unlike my wolf Aspen. In this time when my body and physical form are weak she has become the better half. She hasn't lost connection with me if anything it's become stronger and her thoughts have become my only sense of sanity.
The door creaks open groaning from its hinges. Footsteps began and my ears immediately pick up. There different though unlike times before. They are loud and demanding to be heard and just when I expect to hear the next step they stop. And to my surprise my cell door is unlocked.
Two pack warriors entered. Bringing me up to my feet. I felt like a sack of potatoes as I sat up hunching over from the intense movement. Then he walked in with his head held high and his ego even higher. Micah always reaked of cockiness. He had every right too though in his case. He had the second best warriors in the nation. He was untouchable as most would say. Though he could have been a much better alpha if he hadn't lost his mate. His bitterness was understandable.
"A Luna rogue?" He mocked circling around me in the small facility. There was something sinister in the way we both smirked. We understood each other on many different levels. Pain and power thrived in our hearts. Creating a beautiful evil. "I like to say the irony of the situation is quite a delight for Bradley." He looked up his dark unnerving eyes meeting mine." It's time his rein ends as Alpha. We are the true line of royal blood." For a split second I saw a hint of amusement in his eyes. His jaw ticked and he urged the guards to release me. "Follow me."
My body began to move barely as the warriors literally dragged me. Micah didn't look back, he continued looking forward seemingly ignoring the stares of the pack members as we walked. We finally reached a building which I recognized as the building Micah and Bradley once had a meeting in. My heart ached as the last time I was inside I had been with Bradley.
I was lead down a hall up a flight of stairs just to a room. I was roughly pushed into a chair in front of a large mahogany desk. Micah sat down before excusing the warriors who I must say did a marvelous job in helping me get here.
"Why did you choose my pack?", he asked his voice resonating off the walls sending a shiver down my spine. I took a deep breathe. I hadn't spoke in what seemed like forever.
"It would be the last place Bradley would ever look", I said letting that sink into his thick skull.
"Smart. Eventually though he'll scour every pack mine including", he countered back. He clasped his hands resting them on his desk.
"Put me at the lowest rank in your pack. I will accept any protection in exchange for my labor", I suggested feeling at my all time lowest. Knowing that he could very well make me an omega.
"Allow me to raise a proposition. In exchange for your protection you will train my warriors", he was wary after the offer. I think he expected some sort of retaliation.
"The pack has seen me they know who I am-
"If your implying the fact that I would lie to my pack which I hope your not I'll handle it no one will speak a word of you."
A pregnant silence fell upon us. Briefly he scanned my body before meeting my gaze." You'll be staying in my house I have a feeling my pack members won't be too willing to share their living quarters." I nodded in understanding.
"Don't make me regret my decision."
