ESCAPING THE DARK ALPHA

Thinking Twice

Roman's pov

I barged straight into the room which she's in, my steps faltered when I saw she was wide awake. I assumed she'd be unconscious or probably in a coma but I wasn't expecting her to be awake.

Her head snapped to me, her lips parted and her eyes wide.
She visibly shook at my presence.
My wolf, Blaze growled seeing his mate hurt.
I ignored my wolf, pushing him at the back of my mind.

As I stepped further into the room I could hear her heart racing. She's afraid of me, good. She should be after all I'm her worse nightmare.

She slightly tilted her head towards the window, she was afraid to look at me which made Blaze whimper.
He began clawing at me to be let out and mark her.
No, I couldn't let that happen even if he wanted that.

Her long blonde hair was blocking her face, I brought my hand forward and without thinking I pushed her hair away from her face.
A loud growl reverberated within me.
Who did this to you? I demanded, staring at the mark on her neck.

She flinched, shaking like a leaf.
Who was so brave enough to claim what's rightfully mine?
I asked you a question mate, who did this? I repeated.
Her lips trembled, her eyes watered.
A twinge flickered in my chest.

"Roman" Blaze growled, frustrated I turned his mate into an emotional mess.

"It was your brother" She finally answered with tears streaming down from her eyes.

I clenched my jaw and balled my fists. So this is what he was up to all this while? Trying to take what belongs to me?
Hes going to pay for what he's done and this time around I'm not going to be lenient.

I bolted from the room without even turning back and sparing a glance at her.
Ryan is as good as dead. I'm going to teach him a lesson not to touch what doesn't belong to him.

When I arrived at his place his mate answered the door.
"Roman, what brings you here?" Ryan's mate asked.
Anger flooded my veins. How dare she disrespect me by calling me by my name. I yank her by her hair, tugging on it a little harder.

"Has your mate not taught you any manners? I snarled. It's alpha to you despite the fact that you're my brothers mate"

Roman, let her go! Ryan yelled.
I roughly threw the woman on the ground and rushed towards Ryan, holding him by the collar of his shirt, my mouth pulled into a snarl, as I barley held back my anger.

"You're really going to hurt me? For a woman whom you despise"
I growled, grabbing the back of his neck and slamming his head against the wall until he completely blacked out.

Ryan layed on the floor bloodied and bruised. It wasn't enough, my wolf wasn't satisfied with his punishment neither was I, we wanted more, Blaze wanted him dead.

Aurora's pov

I just woke up a minute ago. My body still hurts as for my wounds they're aren't healed as yet. If it wasn't for Hannah stopping Ryan from hurting me more than he already did, I'd probably be dead by now.
Ryan seemed hell bent on killing me, he even went as far as marking me. I guess he wanted to piss off his brother by doing so.

My hand instinctively touches the mark on my neck.
It would fade away soon since it's a forced mark and not from my fated.

A loud hiss leaves my lips as I try and wake up from the bed. I need to use the toilet and I can't seem to wake up nor did any of the nurses care to check up on me, if I needed any help. I guess when you're the lowest of the rank nobody gives a damn about you.

As my feet slowly touches the ground, a searing pain shoots up my leg causing me to fall onto the ground with an heavy thud.

I let out a sigh, slumping my shoulders back.
I hate being like this, so damn helpless and weak.
Just then the door opens. I sigh in relief. Finally the nurse decides to show up.

The smile on my lips quickly fades away, replaced by a frown. When a pair of black boots comes into my view.
This certainly isn't the nurse. I thought.
My eyes traveled up to the person's face. My heart lurched, shrinking back in fear.

What's he doing here again? I wondered.
Has he come to torment me or did he come to finish off what his brother started?

I flinched when he stepped a little closer to me, placing one hand under my knee and the other around my waist. A small gasp left my lips when he picked me off the ground and placed me back onto the bed.

He didn't utter a word but instead he simply stood there staring at me curiously.
I felt scared and nervous under his intense gaze.

The door suddenly opened and an older man walked into the room, smiling at me warmly.
You must be Aurora? The older man asked, stepping closer to the bed.
I nodded. The man's smile widened.
You sure are beautiful, isn't that so Roman? The man asked, glancing at Roman.

Roman sighed. "What are you doing here Luke?" He questioned with a raised brow.

"I heard what happened to Ryan. The elders wish to speak with you regarding him"

"Well tell them I'm a little busy, once I'm done here I'll meet with them" Roman gritted out.

Luke smirked glancing between Roman and I.
"I see you're thinking twice whether or not to go ahead with it?"

"I think I've changed my mind" Roman smirked, staring at me.
