I stared at his forest green eyes and stood still, not sure what to expect. He looked me up and down then his eyes zeroed in on my arm. I looked down and saw the midnight present Jaxon gave me on full display. I quickly covered it as I saw Xavier's eyes darken. I took a shaky step back. His eyes now black flickered to mine."What is that?!"

I recoiled at his tone. When I did, he was suddenly in front of me with his hand raised. I tensed and noticeably flinched.That only made him ball his fist and his eyes widen realisation."Who hit you and put that on your arm?!"

Hearing the commotion Alexander, Jaxon,Alpha Marques, and Luna Maria walked out of the ballroom. Luna Maria raised her brow."What is going on here?"

Xavier's eyes never left mine but he replied,"That's what I want to know."

Jaxon assessed the situation then looked at my arm and sneered. "Sister, looks like you didn't hide my present for you very well."he tsked.

I backed up and hid my arm behind my back. I looked at Alpha Marques and Luna Maria."Nothing is going on. Xavier just wanted to have my number and I politely refused. No harm done."'

Luna Maria looked skeptical but didn't question it. Alpha Marques on the other hand was staring at as if to read me. I knew they knew I was lying but for what reason and to hide what they didn't know. I switched my gaze to Xavier's eyes and begged with my eyes for him not to say anything. He raised his brow but didn't say anything to my pleasure. I could tell though he wasn't done with me. That he was going to interrogate me later. Alexander looked between us then narrowed his eyes at me. I could tell I was in big trouble when the night was over and everyone left.

The rest of the night was uneventful. I did my disappearing act and pretended to be a waitress for the rest of the night. When the grandfather clock in the corner struck midnight all the guests left. The Alpha,Luna and Xavier were on their private jet half on their way home probably. I was sweeping and busing tables when the doors burst open. I whipped around frightened. There stood in the doorway was a beyond pissed Alexander. I literally trembled in fear as I looked at him. Not only was he beyond pissed but also beyond drunk which meant 3 words. Fuck. My. Life. If he didn't kill me, I would die of loss of blood afterwards or infection.

He walked towards me like a predator teasing their prey and I backed up closer to the table behind me. His eyes were completely black. My eyes widened in fear as I frantically looked around for an exit out or someone there to help me. Sadly, there was no one.

I turned back to the drunk pissed off Alpha in front of me. I had to tilt my head back to look up at him. His hand moved so fast I didn't see it coming when suddenly his hand swiped my face. My face turned so hard I think I got whiplash. Before I could recover, he wrapped his meaty hand around my neck and threw me across the room. I leaned my head forward a little so I wouldn't die if i landed on my head. Because of this I was able to elude death when I crashed into the wall. The impact winded me. Before I could get any air he was there again wrapping his hand around my neck again.

His eyes looked straight into my own."Do you even know how much you screwed up tonight? I ask one thing from you and you can't even do that right. You are just a worthless bitch. A waste of space and of my time. If they found out about you because of your screw up, that would damage the bond between our packs forever!"

He punched me in my side. His claws punctured my side and I swore inside and cried out. He then ripped my bottoms off and started to unbutton his jeans. My eyes widened into saucers and I squirmed harder. He backhanded me and dragged his claws down my other side. I whimpered and knew that if I didn't act now he would take the only thing I had left that was pure. Pure instinct took over my limbs and I just reacted. I brought my knee up and kneed him where the sun doesn't shine with all my might and watched as he doubled over wheezing. I grabbed his silver knife and stabbed him in the thigh and dragged it down to the knee. I knew that was a deep wound. With him being an Alpha he would heal completely in a day,but right now that would make him unable to chase after me.Well,there are a change of plans. Looks like I am leaving right now.

I sprint upstairs and barricade my room just as the pounding start. I thanked the heavens that I packed already and already had all I needed. I threw on a pair of sweats and a jumper. I pulled on the back pack and pocketed my secret stash of cash that I stole from them. I had roughly about 2,500,000 in cash. I zipped it up and walked up to my window and opened it. I looked out and positioned myself on the window pane. I was about to doubt when the door finally gave out and I jumped from the fright and landed awkwardly on the ground. I heard a crack and held my ankle in pain. Shit. I heard a snicker from above. I looked up to see Alexander and saw him staring down at me. I heard growling to my right and turned. There stood Jaxon and his pose. My immediate response was run so I ran like a bat out of hell trying to ignore the protests of my ankle.

I heard clothes tearing ,looked back and cursed. They shifted. I picked up speed to where everything was a blur. I came to the river that separated the pack land from others I picked up speed and took a leap of faith literally and amazingly I landed out of their territory but I knew there were dangers here so I kept running. The pain in my ankle numbed to silence as the adrenaline pumped through my veins.

When the sun started to rise, I looked at my compass. It showed I was heading north toward the midnight pack. They would be home by now. And shit. I looked down at my side and noticed the blood flow hasn't stopped. I knew my only hope was to find the midnight pack.They did say I was welcomed any time.

I held my side as I kept running until I felt a shift in the air letting me know I was in another pack's territory. I took a sniff and by judging the scent I was in Midnight Pack's territory. I ran faster ignoring the complaint in my side and ankle.

I got to a clearing and saw Alpha Marques on a porch in front of an extravagant house. His head looked around and so did Xavier's. I knew they smelt my blood. I kept running until I was out of the tree line and then I did stop. Alpha Marques took one look then started smiling."Persephone! What are you doing here?"

My breath was coming out in short pants as I looked at them. I looked down at my side and looked at them.They followed my gaze and Maria gasped. I looked at them.

"Help." I croaked.

I couldn't stand any more of the pain. The pain in my ankle was finally making itself known and the adrenaline was wearing off so I collapsed but I was still awake. Marques was by my side in an instant yelling out orders. I let out a short laugh."I don't suppose that offer is still on the table."

Xavier let out a snort and Maria laughed."Of course darling."

I smiled and closed my eyes. Exhaustion was pulling me under.
