I stared in horror at alpha Dracus as he gave Xavier and I a once over, Xavier moved aside as alpha Dracus entered the room and closed the door behind him. The fact that he had a smirk on his face made it even worse. I felt like a cheating wife, but I shouldn't feel like that, alpha Dracus means nothing to me and he doesn't own me. Finally he stopped in the middle of the room, and brushed his stubble "I'll start by saying that I heard your conversation- all of it" his eyes moved to Xavier who stiffened "from the moment my beta knocked on the door till this very moment". He shifted his stare to me and I froze. "Why did you call him Zevrus?" I lowered my gaze and sighed "he smells like him" alpha Dracus scuffed "does he taste like him too?" my face burned and I looked at Xavier who clenched his jaw- alpha Dracus chuckled "you know, I can smell him all over you, Rain- you kissed him didn't you?" I closed my eyes, this is so embarrassing, I nodded.
Xavier's voice came up "alpha, it was all my fault- I decided to check on her, and one thing led to the other" alpha Dracus scowled "I know exactly what your intentions are Xavier, I've known you since we were pups- do not dare lie to me, if you lust over the girl and want her that bad, you can have her, but be honest! be a man!" I winced at his yelling, but then I felt like I'm about to explode. How many times am I going to be passed between wolves? I glared at alpha Dracus "who do you think you are? how dare you people pass me between you as if I'm a sack of potatoes?!" Alpha Dracus growled "watch your tone" I clipped back "I don't care anymore, you may kill me, eat me or even shred me- I will not stand this bullshit!" Alpha Dracus' hand came up and slapped me across the face, I fell to the floor with a thud. "you fucking human! you will know your place, I am the alpha and you will stay with Xavier for your own good, I don't have any interest in killing you- if I wanted to kill you I would've done it already, but you don't get it do you? you think screaming or yelling will get you anywhere?" he grabbed my arms and hoisted me up, I yelped as his claws dug into my flesh, the next thing I knew he crashed his lips over mine and devoured my mouth, I hated it, being defenseless and vulnerable. he pushed me to the wall and I gasped in pain, his tongue glided over mine and one of his hands let go of my arm to go down and grab my hip tightly, I opened my eyes and looked at Xavier who was standing there looking away with his fasts by his sides. alpha Dracus broke the kiss, he backed away from me and his eyes roamed all over my body. he sighed "you taste so good, I can't blame Xavier for wanting to try" he chuckled "he's lucky that I love him as a brother- so as a present from me, he'll have you" he turned around to look at Xavier who swallowed hard "take her, have fun, but never go behind my back again" Xavier's eyes turned from alpha Dracus to me, he nodded to me and cleared his throat "come on Rain, let's go" he extended his hand to me- I stared at it, between alpha Dracus and Xavier, Xavier is the better option, at least he's gentle with me. I glanced at the clock on the wall, it showed seven PM- great, now all I had to do is buy myself some more time and hope to the Gods that Cedric is on his way to save me, after all, he promised.
I put my hand in his- tingles went up my arm as I walked with him outside, I looked behind my shoulder at alpha Dracus- he smirked at me and made a goodbye gesture with his fingers then winked. I looked back ahead the rest of the way till we got out of the main house. It was getting dark outside, but I looked around me. The pack area was pretty much like the Steel pack area, but this one had a radius of fences and guards around the houses. My eyes moved up to look at the tree line, wishing that Cedric would emerge from somewhere in the darkness.
we enter Xavier's cabin, it's smaller than the room in the main house, but it sure is bigger than my apartment- as soon as the door closes Xavier grabs me and kisses me, I feel shocked and decide that if he keeps it any longer things will get serious- so I gently placed my hands on his chest and pushed him back, to my surprise he actually backed off. We stayed silent and I watched him head towards one of the chairs in front of the fireplace and sit there. I followed him and sat on the chair across from him, his eyes were on the fire as he said "I'll help you escape".
my eyes widened, did I hear him right? "what?" he sighed and looked at me "I said I'll help you escape" I couldn't help the smile that formed on my lips, but then it fell and I asked "why would you do that?" he closed his eyes ''I'm doing it for Zevrus" I froze and my tears started to blur my vision, is this real? "What do you mean? you knew Zevrus'' he nodded "I did, we both were in that fucked up lab- I escaped but he refused to come with me, he said he didn't have anything to return to" I hicked and my tears started to roll down my cheeks, my conscious burned with regret, it was all my fault. I sobbed and covered my face as Xavier continued "Zevrus had spoken of you, he told me he had a mate whose beauty was so angelic, hazel eyes, milk white flesh, tall, beautiful body, beautiful brown curls- and her name was Rain'' he paused to look at me "he told me why you left him, and he was in pain the whole time he talked about it, he said he loved you since he laid eyes on you" I looked at Xavier and my tears continued to roll down my cheeks, he smiled at me "the last time we were in the same cell- the scientists did an experience on us where they took blood from each of us and injected it in the other's body. That explains your attraction to me, I smell like Zeverus because I have some of his blood running in my system. But to be honest, I actually liked you because of his words about you- his words made me curious and I wanted to know what you look like and how you taste like'' I frowned and he chuckled "I'm sorry, I know it sounds disgusting, but now I know, and for Zevrus, I'm going to help you go back to where you belong- to the Steel pack".
Cedric
night fell, and I was ready to start with the plan to get Rain back. Cyprus, Jud, Jason and Colton stood by my right while Darious from the Golden Moon pack along with three more wolves from mine stood on my left side, the plan was clear Cyprus along with Jud and colton, will go with Jason through the old tunnel he talked about to get inside the Amara pack's territory, while Darious and the others will be the distraction- they will keep the patrollers and guards around the area busy.
While everyone went to get ready, I gave Numbers an order to make sure the females and pups were safe by staying and patrolling along with five other wolves.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes while I thought about Rain, what's she doing right now? Is she ok? The thought of her being harmed caused my blood to boil, I shove those thoughts away and focus on the current situation. Tonight, tonight I will get her back.
Cyprus
We made our way towards the secret tunnel deep in the woods, like me, everyone knew exactly what we needed to do- get inside, get Rain and get the hell out of the Amara territory. Of Course it won't be that easy, but when it comes to Rain, I won't hesitate to burn the whole fucking area to the ground if I needed to.
my thoughts were cut when Colton nudged me and jerked his chin forwards "we're here, this is the tunnel". I followed his gaze and my eyes landed on a secluded old metal door, it was rusty and slightly ajar, around it I saw rocks and large stones, I looked back at Jason " hey Jason, how do we know that the fucking tunnel won't go down on us?" Jason chuckled "this ain't the first time I used this tunnel man, don't worry- it won't go down" I raised an eyebrow and shared worried stares with the rest of the guys then looked back at Jason "you sure?" he nodded "trust me".
we went inside the tunnel one by one, it was narrow for humans and even narrower for us, how did they breathe in there? Jud coughed twice and I noticed him stopping, I studied him "Jud? you alright in there?" he puts his hands on his hips and takes two deep breaths, then looks at me and nods "yeah, I happen to be claustrophobic" I hear Colton and Jason laugh "what the hell is that? an allergy?" I growl at them "shut up, it's an inner fear that can't be controlled- now keep fucking going". I couldn't tell them that I, too, was a little uncomfortable.
After a while, we finally made our way out of the tunnel. The first thing we did was to sit down and take some air, the air inside the tunnel was heavy and the further we walked the harder it was to breathe. I stood up and looked around- the moonlight illuminated the pack area located right underneath us- I noticed we were standing up on a hill. the others joined me, Colton sighed "alright, first step is done, now we wait for Darious' sign before we go in" everyone nodded, I looked at Jud "did you get the mud for our disguise?" He nodded and pulled a big jar from his backpack then handed it to me "alright guys, you know the drill, rub the mud over your faces and necks, under your armpits and around your crotch." I took as much as I needed from the Jar then passed it to the others, now we are all set. it was up to Darious to lead the way now.
Darious
my partners and I reached the tree line across the Amara pack's borders- I gave silent signals for the guys to get to their spots, the whole time we were pin drop silent, we couldn't take the risk of being spotted by the werewolves doing the rounds- it took some serious skills to avoid them, fuckers are too good.
I observed the guards on the borderline, that fucker Dracus didn't waste any time in setting barb wire and fences all around the pack area, but I knew that at some point the guards needed to switch with other guards- after all they had to take a break to eat and freshen up. We waited patiently for the new guards to come and take turns- it took them long enough until finally they moved from their stations. I made sure that we stood against the wind so that they wouldn't pick our smell from this far away. As soon as the stations were clear of guards I raised my hand and focused the mirror in my hand towards the moon to reflect the light towards Cyprus and the others- this was the sign we agreed on back at the Steel pack area. Soon enough I saw a white dot reflecting in the darkness, Cyprus had picked the sign and now they're going in. I looked around at the guys waiting in their stations and I nodded at them. When they nodded back, I took a deep breath and howled as loud as I could. I wanted Rain to know that we're here, I'm here- to save her.
