As I run down the street in the dark, just the flickering lamps guiding me to safety. I resist the urge to turn my head and check how far behind me my chaser was and instead focus on running, running as fast as I can.

As my lungs burn and I think of giving in, letting them catch me, I hear the pounding footsteps on the hard concrete close behind me. I can't run for much longer and they're faster than me anyway. I make the mental decision that I can't outrun them like this and I'll have to lose them some other way.

I take a sharp left down a tight alleyway between two deserted shop fronts, its 2am and the only life out at this time is around the centre of town in the bars and pubs, not on the outskirts of the city where I am.

I can hardly breathe as all I can hear is the blood pumping around my body at such a fast pace I feel like I could explode.

As I run after down the alley, my small body easily fitting in the thin gaps between the dirty brick buildings and the many bins and doors opening onto the path. My attacker is not so lucky and having to slow down to squeeze through. At one of these times I get to look at him and see a tall male alpha with brown bushy hair and a slight beard.

I don't recognise him personally but from the many news reports made about him, a well-known trafficker even the most powerful alphas were afraid of. This gives me a new fear and I take off again, darting between the clutter, trying desperately to get away.

The area opens up more and with less places to hide, it's easier for the alpha to catch up to me, which he soon does.

I feel a hand on my shoulder, roughly pulling me to the floor as I struggle to get up, my face bleeding from being pushed to the rough concrete. I'm now pinned to the floor, with his knee on my back stopping me from getting up.

As I'm giving up and stopping struggling, I feel another presence near us and look up from the floor to find a tall blond standing aggressively near the first alpha. He looks at me, his eyes telling me that he's going to help, there's something about him that makes me want to trust him, and I do.

He stand facing the other and gives off a low warning growl, telling the first alpha to move off me. At first he doesn't but at this the blond takes a swift swipe to his face taking him off guard and drawing blood from his jaw.

The alpha falls off me and with one final blow, he's knocked out on the floor and the blond is the one approaching me.

Quite a short chapter to start with and I think it's a bit rushed but feel free to comment what you think :)
