A reckless plan

1023 Words
~Aria~ I was looking for an escape route out of the pack, I did not want to accept this fate as mine. Mother would do anything to protect me, and father as well. They never wanted me to be a breeder to the Alpha King, that’s why they wanted to escape the pack with me. So why do I have to accept this cruel fate? My eyes watered and I blinked the tears off after the doctor left the room. I did not want my parents to get hurt because of me, now that they were in the custody of Argus, he could hurt them but they wouldn’t want me to accept this. ‘Promise me you won’t be as weak as your father.’ I bite my lower lips hard as the words of my father replayed in my head, I couldn’t hold back my tears as they started to pour down my face. My hand ran against my upper arm, remembering how I lay naked in front of the Alpha King, tomorrow night he might come and take me on his bed. I muffled my cries with a hand over my mouth. I feel ashamed and continue crying. I couldn’t bold it back. I stood up from the bed and ambled towards the window, wiping my tears off with the back of my hand. I opened the window, I was on the second floor, and it wasn’t far from the ground. I could easily jump out of it. What if they found out I was gone? Would I be able to get help? What about my parents? I can’t abandon them with Argus. “I would have to help my parents, and we would leave the pack together.” The plan seems as easy as I thought about it. But I know it would be easy leaving the Dark Pack, and breaking the contract that has been signed with the Alpha King. I would be the only one suffering from it, Argus wouldn’t be left out. I spread the window and decided to jump down, it was already evening. I doubt if anyone would know that I have gone missing since I was isolated from the rest of the pack members. I placed my left leg first and then I jumped down from the window, rolled over, and hit my butt hard on the ground. I groaned and jerked up immediately, and glanced around quickly if I had been seen. There were no guards in sight, and I hastened my steps, limping a bit towards the narrow path, that leads to the woods. I ran as fast as I could before I got caught. I hid beside a tree when there was a flicker of light from a torch, probably one of the guards at the house on patrol. I was almost making my exit out of the palace and decided to slow down a bit because of the search. I lifted my head and peeped to see if he was still there, but he was gone. I want to leave the pack, I cannot stay here. I felt helpless, and it wasn’t safe either since I would get killed after five or six months of staying in the pack, and bear him a pup. They would have been killed in the pack. I couldn’t let my life end this way. I started running again and did not stop or glance behind me till I was out of the palace, deep in the woods and the middle of nowhere but covered with trees, using the faint light from the moon as a guide to find my way. I ran for a long time, and my feet were beginning to hurt and I couldn’t run anymore. If I had my wolf, I would have been out of there by now, but no, I was nothing but weak, wolf-less omega. I hated when I couldn’t go any further and leaned on the bark of a tree for support. That was when I heard a growl behind me, and snapped my head towards the direction the sound came from. I caught the sight of a pair of red eyes glowering at me and a white sharp fangs. I squinted my eyes but couldn’t see the rest of his body, but it was a huge wolf with the way the tree shook when he ran. A gasp escaped my mouth, and I took to my heels, running deeper into the woods. The growl began louder, and his pace was behind me. I can’t run faster than a wolf, there was no way that I could be faster than the wolf. I was probably going to face another end. I stumbled when I ran down a hill and fell. The wolf jumped over and trapped me in the middle of his huge body. I tremble, and my heart pounds harder in my chest, I let out a shrill and he growled in response, and my lips clamped shut. “You...” He spoke through his wolf and sniffed the air around me, and I was still engulfed in fear. There was a rumor about the beast with red eyes that feeds on wolves in the Dark Pack. My escape has made me fall into the hands of the cursed wolf. That’s why, Dark Pack would always be a dreaded place for the werewolves. The wolf howled and brought his head closer to me, I searched the ground with my hand if there was anything I could use to hit him off me. “Why do you smell...” He was speaking through his wolf, I narrowed my eyes at him. We were covered by the trees and tall grasses that were around us. I couldn’t see his face clearly, but his red eyes were prominent. “You.” He muttered. I stared at him when he wasn’t hurting me in any way but kept me on the spot with his piercing gaze. I managed to calm my breath and held his gaze but couldn’t stop my heart from thumping. “You smell like mate...” He murmured.
