The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply novel Chapter 45

45

(Aurora’s pov)

“Beta Samuel,” I bowed my head in respect for the powerful male wolf.

“We need to be on our way. Alpha Xavier was very strict on you being long gone before he gets back.” Beta Samuel says, his gaze flickering to the woods ahead. It was rather thick and scary.

I turn to stare at Sarah, my gaze falling down sadly. Did he seriously want me gone that bad?

Sarah must’ve noticed my gaze because she smiles in reassurance, clearly remembering that I didn’t like the look of pity.

“It will be fine Aurora. I’m sure Alpha Xavier will come to his senses before you step foot out of the border.” She says softly, squeezing my clammy hand. My other hand held on to the small backpack Cas had given me.

The only thing of her I had left.

I wanted to know so badly of what happened to her. I wanted to know so badly if she were still alive and safe.

I clutched the bag tightly, using it as an anchor so I wouldn’t break down and crumble before two wolves. It was embarrassing enough that everyone knew Xavier had cast me out.

Maybe this was for the better. Maybe just maybe, I can find my purpose to live a life of freedom just like I had wanted. Perhaps even find out what I truly am.

And maybe, meet Cas again.

*I highly doubt our Alpha would change his mind. I have known Xavier since he was a boy, he doesn’t change his mind easily or often” Beta Samuel grunts, looking down on me like a man would do to the bottom of his shoe.

“Beta Samuel, with all due respect. I don’t think your words are of much help or do we wish to hear them,” Sarah grumbles beside m e, annoyance clear in her voice.

I haven’t known her for long, sadly, but she looks like a girl who was always chirpy. This was the first time I’ve ever seen her with a sculptured face of irritation.

It oddly didn’t look like her at all.

Beta Samuel turned to stare at her, his features vexed and eyes glowing a piercing blue. “Know your rank Sarah,” He snarls harshly causing Sarah to flinch back and her fingers to slip from my hand.

She bows her head apologizing quickly. “My apologies Beta Samuel. I will watch my words the next time.”

Beta Samuel only grunts, eyes going back to his original color before turning to me. “Are you ready?” He asked, his brow lifting sarcastically

I turn to look at Sarah. Her eyes told me everything, she had hope her Alpha would come to his senses before it was too late.

But I didn’t want to hold onto that hope knowing that it was just that, hope. Nothing more.

So I tum to beta Samuel and nodded.

“Sarah shall carry you on her back, with that dumb big bag. I do not want your kind, whatever you are near me. I will lead the way and do as my alpha has commanded of me to do. After you’re out of our borders, you’re no longer my problem.” He utters, looking like he wanted to be anywhere but here at the moment.

His words are harsh and I expect nothing less from him seeing as he hadn’t liked me from the beginning. Especially with what happened with Adrian and all.

He takes a step back after I nod and then another until he starts peeling off his clothes. I tear my eyes away from him quickly, not wanting to see more than I bargained for.

Seconds later the sound of bones cracking filled the air and I wince. This must’ve surely hurt cause it does sound really painful.

When he’s shifted fully he growls. I turn to him but he’s staring at Sarah. With a nod, Sarah hands me the bag that indeed weighs more than I originally thought. It was really heavy.

“I’m going to shift Aurora and when I’m done, you come on my back, okay?” She says softly, smiling a little despite what happened moments ago with beta Samuel.

I nod, not seeing that I was in any position to protest. Seeing my agreement, she sighs and takes a couple of steps back before shifting into her cream colored wolf. She was way smaller than beta Samuel and I can only hope she will be able to hold my weight

and the bag.

I turn to Beta Samuel, his wolf very intimidating. “Is it possible for me to walk? I don’t want to be too much

He growls, his sharp very big canines peeking out in warning. I gulp nodding before making my way to Sarah. She bends as best as she could so I’d be able to come on her. 1

I carefully throw my leg over her, already apologizing for my weight before I am actually on her. When I am fully on her, I place the bag between my legs and held them both with one hand while the other gripped Sarah’s fur as gentle as I can.

Beta Samuel’s eyes grow foggy for a few seconds while staring at Sarah before he tums around and disappears into the thick trees. I unconsciously grip Sarah’s fur tighter knowing she would soon leap into action too.

And I was right, she dashed to keep up with the Beta, her paws digging into the earth. For a small wolf, she was rather quick on her legs.

Before disappearing into the thickness of the trees and bushes, I tumed around to stare at the packhouse I was leaving behind. I blinked away the moisture knowing I would never see him again.

Sarah whines, perhaps sensing my saddened mood. I turn to face the front, biting my lower lip before reassuring her. “I’m okay Sarah. I’ll be okay. “I whispered, bending down so I wouldn’t be sent flying by a lowered branch.

Adrian’s pov

I winced while touching my neck. I can’t believe he had done this to my beautiful neck. All because of her.

“More,” I demanded of Josie, my voice scratchy, as I turn the mirror in a way so I’d see my neck only and not my face. It was still upsetting and quite unbelievable that this had happened to me.

“Yes my future Luna.” Josie squeaks, applying more of the green healing balm on my discolored neck.

I gripped the handle of the mirror tightly, my teeth gritting the more I stared at the ugly purple and blue he left. It had been an entire day and it has not healed completely.

And all this was because of that ugly bitch.

“Add more!” I snarled, causing Josie to jump in startlement and end up throwing the balm on my lap. The green makes a mess on m y beautiful flesh and I saw red. My hands quickly grasp her neck, tightening until her face turned the shade of red. “You dumb bitch,” I growled as best as I could since it hurt to even speak.

Again it was all because of that ugly bitch.

“Sorry- I didn’t-mean-” Josie choked out, her fingers reaching up to try to remove my fingers from her neck.

I snarl and push her away and rise to my feet. She falls to the floor by the force.” You’re lucky I’m not in the mood to kill anyone today.” I spat glaring at her.

She squirms, her hands going to her throat as she stares at me in fear. I rolled my eyes. “Seriously. I barely touched you.” I grumble. So damn weak.

I look for a wipe on the table to wipe down the mess she caused on my thigh. When I am done I stared at her with an arched brow.” Well? Aren’t you going to finish rubbing the ointment on my neck? Get up you ass and stop acting like a wimp.” I spat, fixing myself back on the chair and reached for the mirror.

Josie quickly scurries to her feet, clumsily racing back to me with wide eyes. “Sorry Adr-I mean future Luna.” She winces after catching her almost mistake.

She picks up the fallen balm and started applying it to my bruised skin. I glared at the discoloring, wishing it was on that stupid bitch instead. “I want to sink my claws into her pretty little neck and hear the satisfying sound of her bones breaking when I add pressure. I want that ugly bitch dead.” I snarled, my fingers coming up to touch my neck.
