~ Chapter 19 ~

'Alpha he's taken jayson' cadell tells me annoyed and I feel his pain.

'Is he being followed?' I ask already knowing the answer.

'Yes alpha' he replies. The ear shattering high pitched noise pierces the air and I growl clutching my head in my hands.

'Alpha? Alpha?!' Cadell snarls preparing his wolf for war.

'I'm ok its just a high pitched noise they let out to keep the greavers away' I tell him breathing heavily as my ears become accustomed to the pain.

Opening my window I look below seeing nobody and instantly drop out, the air rushes around me as I fall from the window. Half way down I flip my body into a Summersault to slow my fall, the loud crack echoing as my knee and fists smack the ground at full force. Standing up I step away from the cracked and uneven floor, running into the forest.

Through the darkness I can already spot the black things running and killing the royal guards. The king is already in the forest somewhere so I remain hidden in the shadows.

Whatever that thing was that grabbed me almost a month ago deserves my anger. I don't care if I die, I need to kill that thing.

Its been on my mind constantly and just when I thought my mind was free from it, it fucking comes back!

Sprinting through the darkness I see royal guards in every direction being slaughtered by the things. It looks like a massacre out here.

None head towards the kingdom, they taunt the guards to come to them and they do. Straight to their death.

I felt no remorse for the guards. Or anyone in this kingdom.

Amelia however is a different story. I don't accept females into my pack but I refuse to leave her here. My judgement on certain things have changed slightly.

Amelia is a slave yes. She is petrified of the king yes. But she's strong without realising.

The black things start to notice me as I sprint through the forest around them. They all look the same but something tells me its not the one in looking for.

Three take off in a sprint in my direction, I head the opposite way quickly being careful not to run into the king himself.

A spear flies past my head skimming my cheek and heading over my shoulder, I ignore the pain and blood running down my face from the spear slicing it open and change direction. Turning away from the direction of the spear.

A royal guard spots me but before he can even tell the king a spear is planted in his head, killing him instantly.

Who the hell is saving me?

Why would a random unknown person protect me?

I hope to god that its not my pack. Its too soon for them to be here yet.

My slight panic was my first mistake.

A body harshly hits mine and like before I'm pinned to a black things body. A hand covers my mouth and almost my nose nearly cutting off my air supply.

I couldn't see what the thing was doing. Or even if it was a thing and not a guard.

But something told me it was the same black think as last time.

I hear the king approaching and so does the thing in black apparently as it stands.

It grabs me and easily throws my body up into the trees. I grab the branches and quickly climb into the tree surprised.

The black thing is quickly surrounded by royal guards, 20 and counting. However it seems unfazed and attacks them immediately.

Three guards are dead by the time the king appears, only a minute or two later.

"Take it to the cells." The king seethes with disgust and hatred. They pin the black thing to the ground, I watch from above as it looks up at me. Its eyes piercing into mine unblinking, my wolf growls and my stomach flips.

What is that thing?

Why was it looking at me?

Why did it save me? Three times?

Why did it hand itself over to protect me?
