Chapter 11; Dakota

I had to fight Beta. There wasn't a way around it. I knew I'd be betraying my pack, but I didn't want Akela to die.

I looked up at Beta, he snarled at me and looked away. Just as he was looking into the distance, I had the perfect moment to attack him.

Now! I screamed at myself, Attack now!

I suddenly kicked Beta in the stomach, throwing him off of me.

"Traitor!"

He stood up and threw himself on my back, slamming me on the ground.

With a disgusted voice he whispered with his teeth bared, "I should've known."

I growled at him, frustrated that he was able to get me in his grip again.

His grip this time wasn't was strong, but it was still firm.

I began to try and escape from his hold.

I got a firm grasp on the ground and started to pull myself out from under his two front paws that were on my back, holding me down.

Beta tightened his grip on me as he felt me struggling even more.

Just a little further...

A few more tries and I finally slipped out of his hold.

I quickly stood up and backed away from him, baring my teeth at him as I did it.

He growled back at me and got ready to attack me.

A fight against Beta.

I won't win against him. I know I won't. I'm the Omega, the weakest one.

With those thoughts, I coward out of the fight that was about to happen with Beta...

I started running away, and Beta ran after me.

He was way faster than me. Not surprising.

He ran up to my tail, grabbed it, and flung me at a tree.

I winced as the pain shocked me. Pain shot in my back and head started throbbing. I stood up, wobbling as I tried steading myself.

"Not so tough, now are you?" he smirked at me.

I growled at his comment and tried shaking off the pain.

I'm losing time. I need to get to Akela, I reminded myself.

Beta started towards me again latched his jaw around my neck, suffocating me.

Akela needs me! My mind started screaming at me.

I started losing my breath until Beta let go of me and threw me against the ground.

"I should let Alpha kill you. Why, if I didn't need his permission to kill you, you'd be dead right now!" he let out a nasty snarl, "You're stupid to think I'd let you get-"

I had it! My anger was high and my thoughts wouldn't stop screaming at me to get to Akela.

I suddenly struck him as hard as I could in the chest, throwing him against a sharp rock.

Too hard.

I heard the sound of him hit the rock. It didn't sound good. I quickly got up and ran to Beta.

"Beta?" I whimpered.

No response...

I checked to see if he was breathing.

I didn't hear him breathing.

What did I do? I shook my head.

I killed him.

My own Beta, I killed him.

I didn't mean to kill him...

Guilt started filling my heart.

In the moment, I knew I had to move on. I shook the thought of Beta away and started following the scent of my pack.

I wondered if they already found Akela or if they were still looking for her.

Run faster! I yelled to myself.

I picked up my pace, with pain still hurting me in my back and in my head.
