Alpha's Prophecy

Chapter 9

Emma

I ran as fast as I could, feeling like my lungs were burning from not getting enough air and I came collapsing down in a heap on a bench under the old oak tree, trying hard to catch my breath. I wanted to go home, to have this nightmare be over with. I could feel the hot, wet tears streaming down my face as I pulled my knees up to my chest, wrapping my arms around my legs and put my head on my knee caps. I was tired and angry. I hated Jake, he was cruel and unkind and I vowed never to speak to him ever again.

Jake Will Betray You

My head springs up hearing the voice inside of me screaming this and I see that I am not out here alone, I lock eyes with a big, dark brown wolf sitting a metre away from me. Fear runs through me at first, watching the wolf approach me but then he comes and lies by the bench to show me he's not a threat. I reach my hand down and pat him, his fur is soft to touch. I slide off the bench and sit on the ground and the wolf places his head in my lap, his gorgeous bright blue eyes looking up at me as I run my hand over his body. He makes me feel calm, like all my worries have disappeared just sitting here with him.

"Maybe I should've just let that vampire kill me last night, then I wouldn't be in this mess." I cry and the wolf raises his head to look at me, "I guess I wouldn't of met you though and you're just so beautiful wolfie"

He licks my cheek and I giggle.

"I may need you to walk me back to the cottage though coz I'm a little lost and it's so dark out here, plus I think it's about to rain, although I've been smelling that all day and it still hasn't rained yet"

I stand up and allow the wolf to lead the way, back past the training field and around the side of the pack house until we reach the cottages, they all look the same but luckily for me the wolf leads me to the right one, I open the door and am relieved that Jake is not there. The wolf tries to follow me in but I stop him from crossing the threshold

"Sorry Wolfie, I don't wanna give Jake even more reasons to yell at me tonight" I say, crouching down to pat the wolf, I hear him whimper, he looks up at me with sad eyes and I feel a pang of guilt, leaving him out here in the cold, "Alright, you can come in but you have to stay very quiet and you will have to sleep on the floor next to the bed"

Jake was going to hate me anyway, or betray me as the voice had warned.
