Return
Aleka's pov
The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies
This is what people say about betrayal and right now I just realised how true this statement was
Jane
The girl who I looked upto
The girl who I thought was an incarnation of moon goddess
The girl who I trusted blindly was the one who backstabbed me
I thought she was perfect but how wrong I was
Her perfection had flaws that overshadowed her good intentions
Hell I even trusted her with the one person who meant the most to me
Aaron
When she was the one from whom I should have protected him
How stupid can I be!!how could I trust her so much!!!
I thought she was better than me
That she loved him like I couldn't
Pleased him in the ways I couldn't
Support him in the times I couldn't
She will protect him with her own life
Was her promise to me before I left
But was a blunt white lie just like she was
I never broke a promise before
But this time I will
She decided to break it
And now I was going to break mine
I am returning back to protect what once was mine
I am coming back Jane
Just pray that I have mercy on you because the one word that doesn't exist in my dictionary is forgiveness.
These thoughts are going on in my mind while I am running at full speed back to the place I left few hours ago
My stamina is 10 times that of a normal human because of staying and running in these forests for last 5 years
You can say that these forests are my 1st home
I felt safe here but right now I need to cross them as fast as possible
It was midnight already and the full moon's light was showing me my way through the forest.
My patience was running out because of the worst case scenarios my brain was building
What if Aaron was not able to defend himself?
What if they hurt Dan,Emma and Angela?
What if I am not able to reach on time?
What if that red eyed wolf won?
That red eyed wolf was very fast and strong ,but was he strong enough to defeat Aaron!!
All these questions were forcing me to move forward at my full speed.
I was halfway through when I felt an excruciating pain in my abdomen
It was so intense that my breathing became rugged and I fell on the ground holding my stomach.
My vision was getting blurred with each passing second
To make matters worse I started coughing
Through my blurred vision I could see that black liquid covering the ground at the place I was coughing.
No not now
Please just let me see him once
Just let me see Aaron before my wolf takes control
I just want to make sure he is alright
The pain got now accompanied by a burning sensation and this time it was not only in my abdomen but around my neck as well
It started at my marking point in my neck and spread all around my neck till my chest
It was like something was choking me cutting my air supply
Now I knew what was happening.
Aaron was marking Jane
The ceremony has started and their marking has completed
I remembered the wolf saying that they will attack after the ceremony which means I got to hurry up
I tried lifting myself up from the ground
I can't stop
I have to continue
Again that coughing started and this time it was worse than before.
I understood what was happening to my body
Aaron marking Jane has weakening me.
My body could no longer resist my wolf
My wolf was getting stronger and my human self was dying
But I had to stop him today
I will kill this bloody basta**
He killed my mother,Nova and so many innocent people
He was the one who framed my mate
He framed my innocent Aleka as a murderer
I will not leave him!!
I called to my wolf
Wake up!!we can't be weak right now!!
The wolves bane was hitting him bad
I could only hear his painful groans in response
He made us think that Aleka was a murderer! Because of him we rejected our mate,banished her and broke her ! do you still don't want to kill him!!
On hearing about his mate my wolf got back,he fought the effect of wolfsbane and I could feel energy enter my body
I could feel my wounds healing a bit
I clenched my fist waiting for the right time to attack
"You are the one who framed Aleka!!!you ...you ...killed my mother!!!!"
I managed to say with anger and hate surging through my words.
"Tsk tsk....so the Great Alpha King finally believes his mate!!!wow!!This is amazing I think you should be awarded for this!
I played with all of your minds and you let me.....
Your weak pathetic excuse of a mate couldn't even defend her so the poor souls died protecting her!!
I just wanted to kill her to make you weak and take over your throne but someone or the other kept on protecting her!!
But you guys made it easy for me when you yourself rejected her.....poor girl .....I pity her ...."
My blood was boiling with each word he said
I picked myself up and stood at my full height
Looking straight into his red eyes
Behind him stood the 5 alphas that supported him
"You said that I am a coward ..... well then what are you?? Trying to kill my mate so that it would be easier for you to defeat me, attacking me by backing yourself with 5 other packs and throwing these knives at me while facing my back??
Only cowards attack from the back if you got guts attack here"
I said placing my hand on my chest
His smirk got replaced by a scowl
He took a step forward and stood in front of me
Everyone was silent now
Hoping that their Alpha king wins this fight
The 5 alphas stepped back making space for us to fight and that's when the actual fight began.
