“Shit!” I cursed as he continued to get closer and closer. Despite the hell of pain I was in, I tried so hard and continued to push myself back, hoping that I would find a way to bring him down before he even knew what was happening. I braced myself for the inevitable as he reached out to grab me. I didn’t let him. I raised my hand and tried to punch him on the face.
“Not so fast, puny!” He growled and grabbed my hand before he gave me a blinding slap that dazed me for some time. “There is no need for you to be so troublesome. Maybe I’ll fuck you as a reward before taking you back to the Pack. They say Omegas mewl while getting fucked.” A very derisive laughter tore out of his throat as he looked down at me.
There was a look of pure evil in his eyes and I knew he meant what he just said. I had to do something before he had me completely chained up.
“Just leave me alone! It won’t won’t you any good.” I growled. He grabbed my jaw as if that wasn’t enough and tied a very strong piece of cloth over it to serve as a makeshift gag.
“You talk too much. I won’t need you talking when I have you undressed.” I tried to speak but nothing came out of my mouth. After that, he grabbed my hands and turned me over. My screaming got more frantic but it was muffled and only a fraction of my voice could be heard. He then started to tie my hands with the rope he had brought earlier. I could feel his claws digging into my hands as it happened.
“We are all set.” He said again before lowering himself towards me to probably grab my behind. That’s when a flash ran across us. Just when thendespair had hit me and I thought every single hope was lost, Tianna leapt into action from nowhere and launched herself at the guard with a ferocity that I had never seen her use before. Before the guard could react, He was already on him.
She grabbed his neck and twisted it again and again. It gave out a sickening crack before the man crumpled to the ground lifeless. She was breathing heavily when she was done with the man. It seemed she had been going through a lot of work.
“What happened?” I asked through the gag but it seemed she didn’t understand what I was saying.
“Are you OK?” She asked before she went down and began to untie my hands.
“I’m so sorry, one of them was after me. I had to lure him into the woods and kill him. Are you hurt?” She asked, just when she ripped off the makeshift gag on my mouth. I felt the biting pain on the corners of my mouth.
“Yes, I’m fine.” I said, before turning over and breathing a huge sigh of relief. She threw the rope on the floor just before she came closer and inspected me. The first place her eyes went to were my legs because there was blood there.
“Maya, it doesn’t look like you’re fine at all.” She said, “you are wounded.” Her voice was filled with worry.
“At least, I’m not dead.” My breath still came out in fast gasps as I tried to lighten up the mood. I was in pain but I’d been able to endure them with years of training.
“We need to get out of here before more of them come.”
“Do you think there are still any of them around here? I don’t sense any.”
I said. “Well, you can never be too sure. They could hide their scents. We never know.”
She leaned in and grabbed my hands before she lifted me to my feet. “Aargh!” I cried out as I let my weight fall on my legs. I didn’t expect the pain to get much worse in such a short amount of time. There wasn’t a lot of blood but it seemed like it was a deep cut and maybe a bone had also been affected.
“I’m sorry.” She apologised before putting my hand over her shoulder to help me. I gritted my teeth as the pulsating sensation on the lower base of my legs continued to throb frantically. This didn’t look good. That meant that we wouldn’t be able to reach our Pack if there was any other group following us.
It would take us a lot of time if we went at this pace.
“We should get as far as possible and find a place to rest. But we must get where they won’t be able to reach us.” I suggested, and she nodded.
“Yes, you need to recover if we must continue. How fast are you self-healing abilities?” She asked. My face tightened as another pain erupted through my legs.
“Not good…. That’s what you get for being Omega… Might take three days depending on how bad it is.” I said every sentence in a breath because speaking seemed to increase the pain.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“I’m sorry about this. Just hang on, I’m sure we will find somewhere suitable soon enough.” She said before she continued to lead me through the woods. It was pitch dark now, and the injury had made me feel so hazy, I couldn’t see a lot. She was the one doing the whole work, leading me through the forest while also looking for safe paths that would keep leading us deeper and deeper into the woods.
The plan was to get out of here as soon as I was done recovering and it might take a lot of time while also putting the both of us at risk of being caught by the guards or rogues. I didn’t want to get her involved in this but I needed her right now or I would die. The incident with the guard just showed how powerless I was right now.
We continued to move until our lungs burned, driven by the urgency of our escape. Finally, when the exhaustion took over us, we arrived at a suitable, secluded grove deep within the woods.
“This place should do.” She announced,
I looked up, quickly running my eyes over the place before nodding. “Not bad.”
