One Wolf, Two Kings

Chapter 10

Emma’s POV

I woke up surrounded by darkness. I could hear the beeping of the machines around me. I groggily look around and see that I am in one of the rooms at the pack hospital. My head hurts like hell. I held my head as I sat up in bed.

I need to get out of here. If I truly am not their daughter, then I honestly don’t have a place here in the Blood Stone pack.

‘We are safe here.’ Aphrodite said, though her voice seemed to be weak as well.

‘I would rather take my chances out there than live like this.’ I told her. We may be safe from the dangers outside the pack but at the cost of being loved and protected.

I force my body to move. I switch off all the monitors, the last thing I need is to be caught right off the bat. Then as carefully as I can, I pulled out the needles from my arm. It still hurts like a b***h. I had to take a few deep breaths before I was able to force myself to stand up. My legs felt like jelly but I concentrated and made it over to the window.

I looked out and was thankful I was on the first floor. If I had been on the second or third floor then I would have to go the long risky way out of here. All it would take was for one nurse or doctor to see me walking in the hallway and cause a commotion. Then I would never get out of here.

I quickly and quietly went out the window, closing it as best I could from the outside. I looked around and noticed that I was closer to the northern border of the territory. ‘I wish I knew where the rogues that Carletta and Carlos talked about earlier were at.’ I did not want to run into them in my condition.

Moving through the shadows, I moved as fast as my injured body would allow. I could hear howls and rustling around when I hit the tree line.

‘I guess someone has realized that I am gone.’ I said.

‘We should stay. It is not safe for us to be alone outside the pack territory.’ Aphrodite tried again.

I don’t want to ignore her, but I feel like I can not stay here any longer. Alpha Austin and Gamma Spencer saved me this time… but what if next time they didn’t get there in time. I could have been hurt worse than this, or I could have lost Aphrodite when I just got her.

‘You won’t lose me, sweetheart. We are special and are together forever now. I just want you to be somewhere safe since we can not shift right now.’ She replied to my thoughts.

‘Wouldn’t shifting help heal us?’ I asked as I moved deeper into the forest. Keeping an eye out for patrol wolves.

‘If we had shifted before we got hurt, then yes it would have helped… but we can not shift until we have our true mate by our side and your body is strong enough to handle it.’ She answered.

‘Why would we need our true mate for me to shift?’ I asked.

‘Us shifting will bring a lot of attention to us. Most of it will be unwanted attention.’ she said. I wanted to ask more, but I was tackled by the side. I landed hard on the ground. I yelped and held my right side. My ribs were killing me. I felt something heavy on top of me.

The smell of dirt and rotten flesh. I remembered hearing Father say that is what rogues smelled like when he was training Carlos about tracking.

With fear in my heart, I dared to look up. There was a giant dark brown wolf standing over top of me. His teeth bared as he snarled and growled at me. Saliva was dripping down his muzzle and falling onto my shoulders. I felt like I couldn’t breathe as I looked into those glowing blood red eyes.

A rogue’s eye becomes fully red after a long time without a pack. It is like all the blood vessels in their eyes had exploded.

I heard more paws around me. Letting me know there had to be at least two to three more rogues around me.

“Hey dude, check it out. She is a pretty little girl. We could have some fun before we kill her.” A strange male voice said. I froze.

I don’t think it would be very fun for me. I started to tremble at the thought of what he meant by ‘fun’.

“Yeah. It has been a long time since we had a good time with a female.” another male voice said. The dark brown wolf backed up and started to shift into human form. Then he stood in front of me. I tried not to really look at them. Their smell alone made me want to puke.

The man came back up to me kneeling down as if he was trying to get a closer look at me. His muscles were really scrawny compared to the muscles of the pack warriors I have seen at the training grounds before. That would most likely be because it is not a guarantee that rogues get a meal every day. Though I can see that they still have some muscles from having to run around and fight to survive every day.

His dark brown hair was long and tangled. It went past his shoulders. Now that he was in human form I could smell his sweat and caked on body odor. He smells like he has not showered in months, and realistically he probably hasn’t.

“Yeah… she does seem like a pretty little thing. Young too, so she should be able to handle all three of us at the same time.” He said with a wicked smile.

I shivered in disgust at what he was talking about doing to me. I tried to crawl away from him, but one of the other two men grabbed my shoulders from behind me. He roughly pushed my back down on the ground. My ribs started to hurt even more.

“Ahh!” I cried out.

I opened my eyes to see the three of them hovering over me. One of them has short black hair and the third one has shaggy blonde hair. The black haired man is the one holding me down to the ground.

“Stop. Please. Leave me alone!” I screamed out as I felt the browned hair man run his hands up my legs.

Tears started to flow down my face and I thrashed around. I flung my arms and legs around trying to get out from their grasp… but the brown haired man gripped my legs so hard that I felt his claws start to dig into my legs. The black haired man pushed my shoulders harder into the ground.

I screamed at the pain filling my body. I am seriously wishing that I had taken some of the self defence classes that the pack has. Being computer smart is not really doing me any good right now. Tears flowed more as I felt the blonde haired man started to tear at my clothes, exposing me to their lust filled eyes.

“No! Stop it!” I screamed out loud. Hoping and praying that someone… anyone would hear me. I felt the brown haired man pulling my legs apart as he ripped my jeans off me. As he settled his naked body between my legs. This was not how I wanted my first time to be.

“NO!” I screamed out, but this time my scream was answered by a loud howl and snarl along with a heavy powerful aura.
