The Royal Mask

Chapter 48

{ O P H E L I A   P O V }

I wish this was all a dream and I wake up with Nate by my side.

Voices from the front seat bring me back to present as I lie on the backseat, my hands in silver handcuffs, my legs tied up with thick rope scraping against my skin as the car speeds up. I still don't know how I became unconscious or why I am feeling flashes of pain in my veins. The pain suddenly spreads in my body and then disappears which makes me wanna scream out loud but I bite the inside of my cheeks controlling myself. One little sound and these assholes will know I'm awake. I don't know how much time has passed. I wonder if Nate knows I'm missing and I hope Nate and Dan haven't killed each other!

"Seems like the rumors are true, I have never seen a more beautiful she wolf ever." The man who had dragged me speaks as he taps his fingers on the steering wheel. Just what kind of nonsense rumors' are circulating about me?

The other rogue grunts, he must be the one who was in wolf form earlier, "It will be fun to watch alpha Dominic hurting her which is surely gonna break the golden boy."

I feel like clawing his eyes out. But these silver handcuffs won't let me change into my wolf. Freaking great!

"Drive faster before the warriors catch up!"

"Don't worry he had promised he will keep them distracted. Our guys must have taken care of the royal guards by the gate." The rogue behind the wheel says.

"We can't trust him."

"He can change sides anytime to save his ass. After all he will always be the snake." The rogue behind the wheel snickers as he presses down the accelerator.

"Who is he?" I wonder and they start cursing. Damn I said that out loud...didn't I? And why the hell are they so shocked it's not like I was hiding here by my own!

"What the fuck...how the fuck is she awake? She is not supposed to be awake at least for an hour!" The man growls.

"Is the drug not working on her?"

"What drug? What did you do to me, assholes!" I shout as I try to sit up wincing as silver burns my skin. I see trees blurring outside the window, the city lights disappearing slowly, there's not much time left before we reach the border.

"Why don't you guys have the odor of rogues?" I ask as I try to sniff the air but I smell the leather seats instead. That's so unusual.

They laugh. "Atleast we know the drug is working on us."

What drug? I remember I didn't sense them in the garden before I was attacked. Is this how they were able to get through the gates and into the packhouse undetected?

I take a deep breath and then hit the car door with my body. I can't turn but atleast I can use strength from my wolf.

"Stay still bitch!" The man from passenger seat growls as he leans towards my seat to pull me back. Just when he grabs my arm I bite him, my sharp wolf canines pierce his skin making him yelp so loudly that the man driving jolts and loses his control over the vehicle. I take advantage of the moment and bang the door with my side body even though it hurts like hell. I catch a glimpse of my sparkly heels in the dim light. I bend quickly unstrapping it as best I can with my cuffed hands and just as the man grabs me by my hair, I poke my heels in his eyes.

"Fuck!" He roars.

I knew from the moment I laid eyes on my heels, these were a killer!

Blood drips from his hands as he curses. I leap forward clawing my hands on their faces, they growl stopping the car with a loud screech. My adrenaline is super high as I push them away, hitting them with my elbows. I press the button making the doors to unlock and get off the bulldozer of a vehicle. As soon as my bare feet hits the ground I fall down on my face. Damn it! I scramble away from the car as two angry bloody rogues get off snapping their teeth at me.
