Chase Me Alpha (Daria and Caleb) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119

Daria’s POV

“Are you ready?”

Sabrina nodded, hoisting the bag over her shoulder with ease. She wore a dark blue top, jeans and a dark coat, her hair tied up into a neat bun.

It was barely dawn; we had chosen to set out early to head off anything or anyone that might stop us.

The spot that we had to meet Eric would take us several hours to get there even if we didn’t stop to rest.

I glanced at my best friend, and her look of determination. She had not told me what had happened the night before, and had simply slipped into the room at midnight, silent and contemplative.

I nearly stopped her and asked her if she really wanted to do this Unlike myself, who now had little ties to the Wisteria Pack, it was true that Jacob had made a mistake, but he still loved her. And Sabrina had long been accepted as his mate by even his family. What ripples this action of hers would cause… I wasn’t sure I wanted her to face it.

Holding myself back, I swallowed the words back down and followed her, stealthily walking outside. I was nearly startled by a few sounds in the quiet mansion, but neither of our steps faltered. Sbarina took the lead this time, taking me through the hidden back entrance of the house. As we stepped out into the open air, a light breeze made both of us shiver in unison.

“How far is the place?” Sabrina asked while we walked down a beaten path towards the edge of the forest.

“At least a couple of miles,” I murmured. We kept our voices low one mistake right now could risk our exit getting found out, and it could cause more chaos.

I bit my bottom lip, my mind wandering to the one person I wished I could stop thinking about.

Despite the betrayal, it was impossible to stop my feelings for him. Even down to last night, though I had made my decision, I wanted to reach out to him through the mind-link. I wanted him by my side. But I knew that Caleb wouldn’t respond. I had cut off the last ties of emotion with him. And he would surely hate me now.

I inhaled sharply against the biting irritation in my eyes, caused entirely by my tears.

I had gotten used to the pack this time. It felt less like fleeing disaster and pain, and more like… leaving a home I couldn’t bear to part from.

The darkness gave way to faint hints of blue in the sky, followed by a golden light that warmed the horizon. Sounds of the animals in the forest waking filled the air – the rustle of wings, trill of hummingbirds, the feeling of life all around.

Sabrina and I sped up our pace, keeping it consistent. We hadn’t stocked up on anything to eat, but paused at some point to pluck some wild berries from trees to eat. I munched on a few, walking as I popped each one into my mouth and crushed them between my teeth. The tangy, yet sweet juice caused sparks of recognition in my tongue, and then disappeared into a faint memory, over and over again.

We walked, passing by tall trees and several clearings.

The northern border gate was one of the furthest to go to, and I was certain Eric had picked that spot specifically for that reason. Because by the time anyone figured out we were gone, it would already be too late, and we would be on our way to the Crimson Pack.

Thinking of meeting up with my cousin once again and Master Killian, and settling into the pack that they called home was enough to brighten my mood. I began to hum a small jaunty tune, one which Sabrina immediately picked up and joined me in.

The sun was high in the sky by the time we neared the meeting place. As we did I began to look around, anticipation building up gradually.

“He should be closeby,” I said to Sabrina who nodded eagerly.

But in that instant everything changed.

Several growls filled the air and suddenly, every side of us was blocked, our path gone.

Sabrina gasped loudly, freezing momentarily as I pulled her close. I looked around in alarm, adrenaline pulsing in my body as the realization slowly showed.

Rogues.

“How..?”I whispered to myself. Has this been a trap?

I turned to Sabrina, “Run!”

Then I changed at one of the rogues, attacking with my elongated claws.

The rogue was swiftly taken down with one blow, and I turned to the other beside him. They all jumped at me, and I knew that I was cornered. I only hoped, prayed, that Sabrina would be able to escape.
