Werewolf Compilations novel Chapter 71

"Are you alright?"

I look down to see a familiar face, it's his Beta, Will. He nears me and I step back. "Can you help me? I n-need to go home. I live at the Waters Pack."

He looks confused, then I notice Alpha Grant coming this way in the distance. "You're going home? What for?" The Beta asks, but I continue to back away, not wanting to see Alpha Grant, but he's already seen me. The air leaves my lungs and they shrivel.

I look back at the house and Gail is in the doorway. In a panic, I run around the house and head for the only other place I feel safe. I need to get past the borders. I have to get off of this territory. The trees engulf me and I hurry past them while continuously looking back, fearing him. I come close and I hear the guards. "You're too close to the borders, turn back."

I keep going.

"Hey! I said turn back!" I look to the side and see two men quickly approaching me. I can't breathe. They swiftly move in front of me, and I struggle to find my next move. "Are you alright?"

"You need to let me past," I breathe out.

They look amused. "We can't do that. It's dangerous out there. A girl like you wouldn't last a night with those rogues."

"P-Please. I need to go home." I look back again, and I see him just beyond the trees with his Beta. "Please."

"I'm sorry. You should go back before we have to move you back," he says.

"Look. I'm going to die here, please," I look back again, my heart racing, he's in the trees. "Please, please, you have to help me. I have to go home."

They must see Alpha Grant in the distance because they straighten up and one of them grabs me, holding my arm tight like a troublesome child. "Alpha," they greet him, and I bite my tongue.
