Pack Adonis

Chapter 23

Something fell of when I entered my hallway. The smell of something rotting and blood hit me hard and it came directly from my room. Shaking I took steps closer, until I reached my door.

My heart was beating abnormally fast and I was scared to find what's behind it. No one was near, since they were all still at karaoke night. Which really didn't help at all.

With all the courage I had left, which wasn't much, I opened the door and let out a piercing scream. It was Eric, the gamma, impaled. Right in the middle of my room.

My legs bolted away, back to the others, I saw Marcus on the stage with some of the soldiers, Ryder was laughing at their bad voices. My heart was beating and I tried to reach him, but it was like nobody wanted me to.

When I finally did, Pauline had to push me aside and climb on his lap. I should've cared more if there wasn't a dead guy in my bedroom.

"R-R-Ryder", I stuttered.

"Can you go away?!", Pauline snapped.

"Eric is dead", even Pauline looked shocked.

"What do you mean? What happened?", Ryder asked standing up.

"M-m-my room", I grabbed his hand and dragged him along.

/:/:/:/:

"Holy...", Ryder stared at his impaled friend and I kept holding his hand.

Because honestly I was scared to death and he was the strongest person in this building and maybe alive.

"What the hell is that?!", Pauline screamed at the walls.

I'm out for you, get ready to die, golden child.

It was written in blood and my veins turned cold. Somebody was out to kill me. Ryder saw me going into shock and cupped my face.

"No one is going to kill you. Calm down", he spoke.

"How can I calm down?! Eric is dead because of me!", I screamed.

"Blaming yourself isn't going to help now", Ryder told me.

I pushed him off and stared at the writing on the wall. I was dead, officially. But why me? What did I do wrong? And who? I had millions of questions, but I had no answers.

"Pauline, please take her, I need to handle this", Ryder told her.

We both eyed him like he was mad in his mind.

"Please", he begged.

"Fine", she grumbled and grabbed my arm, pulling me along.

/:/:/:/:

The hot aura of the tea didn't calm me down, I started at the trembled water. Pauline was talking to someone over the phone, she didn't look quite effected as I was.

I was the victim.

So was Eric.

I closed my eyes from tears falling down. He had so much to live for, he hasn't even found his mate yet. If they wanted me, why did they have to kill an innocent guy?

"Duck!", Pauline screamed, pushing me to the ground.

An arrow planted on the wall where my face was, we both stared at it in horror. What the hell was going on?!

"Ryder told me to get us to the save room, come on", she grabbed me and I followed her.

But two strong arms pulled me away from her and I screamed. Trying to fight him off, until he put a knife against my throat.
