Chapter 5 ~ Caught

~WARNING: SLIGHT MATURE CONTENT BELOW (RAPE)~

Once at the bottom of the hill, I sat up and clutched my hand to my chest, whimpering in pain. I stumbled to my feet desperately as a malicious feeling ran through me.

I knew it wasn't my emotion. Zion was enjoying the hunt and he was close. Way too close for my liking. My falling may have alerted many of my presence.

I felt a hand land on my shoulder and growled, jumping away from it and looking back at the culprit.

It was one of the females from my pack, I couldn't remember her name but I was sure that the pack doctor was her father. The female was out of breath as she panted loudly, her blue eyes round and glossy in fear.

"Come on! We have to go!" She urged, grabbing a hold of my non injured arm and pulling me behind as we began running again.

My chest began to ache as I continued running, the female in front of me not looking any better than me right now. I heard the sound of footsteps running behind us and glanced back at the light brown wolf. It was a male and definitely not from my pack. He was gaining up on us.

My face paled as my eyes burned with unshed tears. I quickly picked up my pace and outran the female.

"Hurry up! He's gaining on us!" As soon as the words escaped my lips I heard the scream of the female and immediately skidded to a stop.

I looked behind me and saw the female lying on the ground with the male on top of her.

Without hesitation, the male quickly clamped his sharp canines down on the female's neck, causing her to scream even louder than before.

The female's face was scrunched up in pain as she writhed on the ground, sobs tearing their way out of her mouth desperately.

Her eyes connected with my wide frightened ones and begged me to do something, to stop the male from taking her against her will but what could I do? The male was stronger than me, he could easily over power both of us.

"Please!" The female begged, causing me to wince at the brokenness in her voice.

Tears ran one by one down my cheeks as I contemplated helping the female out but let's face it, both of us knew there was no way out. With that thought, I shook my head sadly and turned my back on the scene.

"I'm sorry," I whispered before taking off again. Leaping over stumps and ducking under branches.

I soon found a well hidden cave and ran into it, thanking the goddess that it was empty. I leant up against the wall of the cave and sighed, glancing down at my hand to see that it was starting to heal. I took in a deep breath and slid down the wall tiredly to sit.

My heart pounded too loudly for my liking and I tried to get my wolf to calm down. I adjusted my eyes to the darkness of the cave and looked around warily. It looked like any typical cave, governed in dirt, slime and creepy, crawly insects. I shivered in disgust and pulled my legs up, wrapping my arms around my knees tightly.

It took me a few minutes to finally get my wolf to calm down. When I was sure that my heart rate was normal I got up and flexed my arm, thanking the goddess that the pain was gone and the swelling was going down.

I cautiously walked in deeper, looking to see if the cave had another entrance. It was a dead end. There was no where else to go. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand on edge as a dark feeling washed over me.

My wolf pushed forward instantly, using our senses to try and spot what was causing our distress.

Then a loud growl sounded.
