The innocent reject novel Chapter 4

Mate

I went towards the small girl

Her eyes were closed and she was shaking with fear

I touched her shoulder and she flinched

On realising it's me she jumped and threw her body at me hugging me

I haven't had a hug in long time and it felt weird

But good at the same time

I pulled her back and looked into her eyes commanding her

"Turn back and go to your pack,

Whatever happens don't stop and turn around,

Don't stop till you see someone you know!

Okay?"

She nodded but her feet were not moving

I gave her a slight push and she started walking to safe grounds

But suddenly she stopped and turned around

I understood her look

She didn't wanted to leave me

She wanted me to come with her

But that was not possible

"I said Don't look back!!just go!!"

I said raising my voice and she flinched with my harsh and rude tone

I know I shouldn't be rude and cold to her but this is just the way I am now gone is that Aleka who considered even a single curse to be a sin.

She was reluctant but she turned back and continued to take small baby steps towards her pack borders.

I knew she must belong to the pack which is just 400 metres away from here and then she'll be safe.

I stood there in the clearing waiting for other rogues to come

The rogue which died made a howling call meaning that he called the other rogues here.

I wouldn't let them reach her

I will be like a barrier and they would have to kill me to pass through.

Within few minutes I saw 10 wolfes coming my way

I may have fought 7 wolfes alone but today I think will be record breaking

I pulled my wolfsbane laden arrow and attacked 2 of them on their way.

6 wolves attacked me

All at once

I took my knifes in both my hands and started slashing them

Soon their brown fur has turned red with blood.

They may have long claws but I had silver knives.

I got some claw marks on my back and few on my forehead making blood drops fall in front of my eyes.

But they didn't stop me.

Within minutes they all were lying dead on the floor except one.

I could see him running towards the direction she came

I couldn't catch him with my human but I could surely stop him
