Unforgivable ✔️

Prologue

The wind whipped around me blowing my hair wildly as I ran. My legs felt like they weighed a ton of bricks. I shouldn't have been surprised that I had gotten caught. I was careless and that is what got me into this mess. I only hoped that once again I would be able to make it out alive.

Run and keep going. Never stop.

That had become my mantra. If I let myself forget that then I was as good as dead. I could never stay in a single place. That was no longer an option for me. I tried, I really did, but it was never easy. Life had given me the short end of the stick.

I felt the light trickling on my face. I smiled and allowed myself a bit of hope. The rain would be able to wash away my scent and give me the opportunity to run away. I was playing with fire and I had gotten burned so many times already. I guess deep down I was hoping someday this would all end the only way I knew it would.

I could hear the thuds of several wolves running after me. Even in my human form I was fast but I wasn't fast enough to outrun all of them. They were skilled in tracking me and this wasn't the first time they had chased me through different lands. I had to keep moving if I wanted to survive.

The rain continued down and it made my shoes slippery against the mud. I could shift into my wolf but then I wouldn't have an advantage. Staying in my human form allowed me to move faster out of their reach. They were bigger in wolf form. They weren't quick enough to get a good hit on me.

Apparently what I didn't anticipate was someone separating from the group and taking a different way. I felt the weight of the wolf hit my body. It knocked the air out of me and sent me flying. I landed on the ground and I tried to quickly get up.

Arms wrapped around my waist before I could even begin to run. My body was lifted up into the air and I was thrown on the wet ground again. My bag dug into my back as I landed and I cried out in pain. I looked up at the dark figure standing over me.

"Found you." He taunted. I couldn't focus on his face with my bag digging painfully into my back, but I knew he probably had a sick smile on his face.

"Congratulations, get in line with the rest that stated the same right before they died." I retorted.

"I'm not like the rest, sweetheart."

He was right. This wasn't the first time I had ran into him, though this is the first time he's been able to catch me like this. I wasn't ready to die today. I had to find a way to leave.

"You're right," I said. "you're weaker."

A growl left his lips and I smiled at the satisfaction of getting him riled up. They were all the same. Every single one of them had big egos. No one had been able to bring my head to their precious Alpha.

I turned to look at the approaching wolves who slowed their pace. For that single moment he got distracted and I took that as my opportunity. I swung my leg behind his ankles and he fell to the ground. I jumped to my feet and took off running again. I heard him letting out a curse but he sounded close behind. I felt him before he had a chance to grab on to me. I swing around and dug my claws into his flesh. I aimed for his eyes and hoped I would blind him momentarily.

My hit didn't stop him from throwing himself at me. I stumbled back and my back hit a tree. A hand took hold of my ankle and I went down again. At that moment I felt several people taking a hold of me. My bag was lifted off of my shoulders and was tossed. I screamed in panic when I felt I couldn't get my arms free.

"You're going to pay for that!"

I felt a kick to my stomach and a slap across my face. I had expected both but it still hurt like hell. I groaned in pain when I felt a stronger hit to my face.
