Where We Come From ✅ [Complete]

Chapter 34: Towards The Ark

A/N: Bolded words are spoken in Trigedasleng.

Wells is about halfway to TonDC. The sun is already out and he estimates the time to be around 7:30 a.m. when he hears noise close by and so he begins to run looking for a place to hide. He looks all around but there is no hiding place, so he continues running heading north. He sees as the men come towards them on horses. It's the first time he sees actual horses and just stands there looking at the animals as the group of five men form a circle around him. They speak in an unknown language and Wells says pleading, "I don't understand your language. Please let me go." He tries to run in between the men but they maneuver their horses to form yet a tighter circle.

The leader of the group raises his hand in the air and everyone remains still on their horses. He sniffs the air and looks at the male intently. "You're an omega," he states and Wells nods.

"Yes, I am. Please don't hurt me. I need to find someone," Wells says. At this point, he believes he has nothing to lose. If he goes back, they'll probably execute him accusing him of treason and if these strangers decide to take him prisoner, he'll die as well. As Wells sees it, either way, he's dead.

"Who are you looking for?" the leader asks and Wells swallows hard. He's scared and in distress and the leader notices immediately so he adds, "Omega, don't be scared. We will not hurt you. Perhaps we can help you find this person."

Noting the kindness in the leader's voice, Wells says nervously, "Her name is Clarke Griffin. Do you know her?" Wells asks, hoping that these strangers can help.

One of them replies, "Yes, I know of her. She's on her way here. Who are you to her?"

Wells responds, "I'm her best friend. My name is Wells Jaha and it's crucial that I speak with her as soon as possible," he states, shifting his eyes from warrior to warrior. The leader of the group says something in their language and one rider heads quickly towards the forest. "My companion is heading to inform her," he says and Wells sighs in relief. "Thank you! Thank you very much."

The leader, just like the rest of his warriors notice that the omega has been beaten but they don't ask; they'd rather wait for their Alpha and Luna. This will upset them greatly.

Thirty minutes after leaving, the scout spots his Alpha and future Luna so he urges his horse to run faster. The other guards spot him and alert the Alpha so the party stops and waits.

"Alpha, Luna I must speak with Clarke Griffin. It's important," he says, panting. O and Clarke already heard him so they step close to him on their horse. "Yes, what is it?" Clarke asks the warrior and he says, "We found an omega that we believe is one of your people. He needs to speak with you urgently. He said his name is Wells Jaha."

At the mention of her best friend's name she gasps. "Wells! We have to go, he's the Chancellor's son!"

"Wait!" the scout yells and then says, "Alpha, Luna, he was abused, physically abused." Titus growls out madly and says barely restraining his anger, "Lincoln, go with Lou back to the others and set up a resting place. I don't want the Arkers to know that we are close, so make sure it's hidden from them." Lincoln nods and both start heading back towards the other scouts.

"Alpha, what did he say that made you mad?" Clarke asks worriedly. She, just like O and the others have never seen the Alpha act like that and she also noticed Lexa's and Anya's face contort in anger. He doesn't answer but Lexa moves closer to her mates.
