Run! Faster or they'll catch you! Damn it don't slow down! They're getting closer! Hurry, you're so close!
My lungs screamed for a break. My muscles, struggled to hold my body up. I gasped for oxygen in the cold air. My arms pumping, forcing me to push myself harder. Their sick laughter could be heard and their voices called out to me. My throat burned from the cold air. My skin frozen from the falling rain. My body shivering with fear and from the cold wind. Adrenaline was the only thing keeping me going at this point.
"Andrew, we're catching up!" One of the females sang. I knew a pack was close by. I had managed to escape from the hunters who took me. I had to get back and take my spot as king though. I tripped and fell before shoving myself up to continue running. Wolves were coming closer in my sights. The scent of a pack hit me.
"Help! They're after me!" I cried out. I turned and saw the three hunters closer. They didn't bring their weapons with them, big mistake on their part. But they knew they injected me with enough wolfsbane that I couldn't contact my wolf. They let me go through the first shift then afterwards took that ability from me. The amount of wolfsbane changed my hair color permanently to white.
My body was covered in dried blood, dirt and sweat. Cuts, bruises, burns and scars littered my once smooth and tan skin. I had gone years with this torture. The wolves turned their heads to me just as the three hunters tackled me. We slid into the pack land and the wolves sprung into action.
Their screams of pain and fear filled the air as I quickly moved away in fear. I leaned my back on a tree as my breath came out quick and deep. My chest rising and falling quickly as my stomach moved with it. My adrenaline slowly leaving my body and my aching muscles starting to relax mad me lay my head against the tree too. More blood hit me but it wasn't my own. It was their blood.
"We missed on." A voice said. I looked at the wolves lazily as black dots began to dance in my vision.
"I don't think he's a hunter. I smell wolf on him." Another said.
"Let's get him to the pack house. He looks weak." Fhe first voice said. I felt my body get picked up and I winced at the sudden movement.
"Possible injuries need to be told to the alpha. This boy has a lot of power flowing from him. He's a high ranked wolf. We need to find out his age. Grab his legs. He's to tall for us to carry him with his arms on our shoulders." The second voice said. I was struggling to keep consciousness. The smells were blending together. Their voices began to form into one.
"Scratch the pack house. He needs medical attention first." I think voice one said. With that my head fell back as I welcomed the darkness with open arms.
********
Light and steady beeps along with whispers filled the room. The bright lights flashed in my eyes as I opened them. I moved my hand to cover my eyes and found cords, wires, tubes and needles crawling out of my skin. I pushed myself up and tired them out of my skin, not caring about the fresh blood that fell from my body. People rushed over and with them came terror.
The light tan, almost white, walls surrounded me. The cold air bit my skin. New cuts that cause blood to poor out of my arms formed. I yanked the wires, tubes, cords and needles out though. It was all in a panic too. I didn't want to be tortured again. I had thought I escaped it.
"Hey stop that. You're safe." Someone said. My eyes found the eyes that belonged to the person. The looked genuine before looking away and having someone bandage my arms that were cut up.
"Can you tell us who you are?" Another man said. He's the Beta. I looked at the other man, he's the alpha.
"Where are my parents?" I asked.
"We couldn't contact your parents without knowing who they were." The alpha said.
"Contact them." I said. The beta looked at his alpha and the two kids behind them looked at the two. One was a female with long dark chocolate brown hair and hazel eyes. Another was a boy with dark blonde hair and brown eyes.
"Who are your parents?" The boy asked.
"The King and Queen." I answered. The alpha nodded his head and walked off. It left me alone with the beta and the two kids.
"Lay down. Get some rest. There's still wolfsbane in your system." The beta said. He gently placed his hands on my shoulders and pushed me down on the bed. He pointed to the lights that soon shut off.
"I can smell her." I whispered as sleep started to take over.
"You can smell who?" The boy asked.
"My mate." I whispered again. I let the darkness drag me back into its arms. It wrapped around me starting at my feet. The higher it went the more my muscles relaxed. My head connected with a pillow and the slight stains of blood began to appear on the bandages on my forearms. I fought my sleep though. I wanted to make sure that my mother and father were coming.
"Rest. The King and Queen will be here in a week. You'll need your strength." The alpha said in a soft voice. I slowly nodded my head at the man as my muscles fully relaxed. I let my eye lids fall closed. The sound of whispers drowned out. The darkness pulled me further and further into its hold. It continued until it was sure that I was completely asleep and my body was completely relaxed.
