Theory Of My Desire [ 18+ ] (ff)

Chapter XIV ; Trial Of Escape

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Vegas face was covered in bruises and wounds. The way the entirety of his body was covered In a dark cloak, screams that his skin was ample of excruciating cuts by a sharp sword. What's more intriguing was—Vegas was still breathing steadily, pulses were normal although his appearance was undeniably laughable for a mere Alpha, worst is being a future King of the Theerapanyakul Kingdom. Meaningly to say, his reputation was tarnished by his own stupidity, losing to a pack of wolves against their weak soldiers.

It's definitely unfair. But Vegas is not in the right position to judge whether who's right or wrong, that's because the people in their surroundings have their own beliefs and opinions.

" Listen to me, Pete. That guy earlier is the reason why some of our soldiers and guards died." Vegas explained carefully, not wanting to terrify the Beta by the sudden information. " I'll explain the rest later once we'll escape their territory" Promised Vegas, lending Pete some clothes that he had worn earlier.

" It's reek of your scent" Pete complained, grimacing in repulsion as he shot a glare towards the arrogant Alpha.

" Walk naked or wear my clothes? You choose" Asked Vegas, wandering around the region to search for an escape.

Pete rolled his Intentionally. He knew arguing with Vegas was inevitable, yet he's also clueless as to why he kept provoking the Alpha numerous times. Pete was practically aware that he and Vegas wouldn't get along even if thousands of years would pass, generation to generation. They have their own beliefs, surely, Vegas was saving Pete on behalf for failing to protect him even before the war had occurred. And also for Pete's brother's sake, Vegas was doing all of this because of Build. 

Yeah, right. It's definitely for Build. Pete convinced himself.

" Pete. C'mon now, move!" Ordered Vegas, while the guards outside were having their own break.

Pete walked quietly behind the Alpha, carefully trying to be silent as much as possible. He was clutching Vegas's cloak in which the Alpha didn't notice because of the too much seriousness on its brows.

" Pete, Do you trust me?" Asked Vegas seriously, showing no signs of bluff or false towards his words.

" I'd rather eat street rats than trust you!" Spatted Pete, sufficiently whispering for the Alpha to decipher.

" Well you have no choice but to trust me so bear with it." Stated Vegas, dragging the Beta's wrist tightly until both of them started to run faster without looking behind their back.

" Vegas, what the hell?! " Screamed Pete, when three members of the pack started chasing them in their wolf forms.

Pete was panicking when Vegas' grip became firm and painful. He felt his wrist being torn slowly, but he didn't have a choice but to follow the Alpha on its desired destination. As a mere Alpha, Vegas priority was to protect the Beta, even if it cost his life until he reached his limits. Indeed, Pete's life was more precious than his own, maybe because of the bond that he developed towards the Beta.

Vegas grinned in triumph when he finally found his dear pet. Made by his own power when he was merely a seven-year-old kid; actually terrifying that a child like him could invent such a thing.

Pete on the other hand, wasn't astonished in the first place, that's because he'd witnessed Vegas' pet during their discussion while planning to save his brother. Before, Vegas had shown his pet through the chaotic crowd, even his father was amazed by the humongous creature. Pete would be lying if he didn't envied Vegas' pet before.

Both Vegas and Pete arrived at the place where Vegas' massive dragon was located. Indeed, it was tall if you compared it through a pile of blocks of Ice. Alluring and serene, definitely was being taken care of Vegas. Although Vegas' personality was more fierce, On the contrary, his own dragon was the opposite. Crimson with a pinch of blank on its tails and head, undoubtedly screamed that it was Vegas' pet.
