Will she survive?

Chapter 3

I woke up from my nap about 2 hours ago and i've just been walking through the forest. I wonder if anyone cares that i left.... Probably not. I laugh to myself and keep on walking.

.........

I hear a branch break and i instantly jump behind a tree. I look around and see a small child looking at me from behind another tree.

"Hello?" i call out to him. He starts running in the opposite direction and i follow after him. He's easy to catch up to because he's so small. I was so focused on follow him i didn't see the boarder to a different pack approaching. My smell and senses are the good since my wolf is hidden so i don't smell the other pack. As soon as i run through the pack boarders i stopped. This isn't good. A pack can sense when their boarder has been broken by someone not belonging to the pack. Before i could turn around i'm tackled to the ground by a guard. I got hit with a huge wave of ptsd and started having a panic attack. It got so bad i ended up blacking out.

I wake up in a cellar. I'm so confused what happened. And then i remember the little boy, the boarder, the guard, the blacking out. I start to panic again until i hear a door opening. It's another guard.

"The Alpha has requested to see you.... rogue" he says with disgust rolling off his tongue.

I snarl at him and stand up slowly. I cover my arms with my sleeves so no one can see anymore of my bruises and cuts than they already have. He forces me up faster and pushes me infant of him. He leads me out of the cell and i get a faint smell of something sweet. It's mesmerizing. Like it's something i've always waited for but didn't know.

I push the smell to the back of my head because the guard kept pushing me and i couldn't afford to not be paying attention. i would end up flat on my face.

The smell gets stronger as we get closer to wherever this guard is taking me. I try guessing what the smell could be and how i can smell from this far.

"grrr" i hear my wolf purr in my head and i instantly jump back. I haven't heard from my wolf in over a year. I was beginning to believe i didn't even have a wolf. I got a jolt of happiness knowing my wolf was still there but i'm still petrified because i'm going before another alpha. I get a flashback about an encounter i had with my alpha after i punched his son.

*I walked into the alphas office and the guard shut the door as he left.

tap...tap...tap...

he tapped his pencil on his desk and just looked at me. I knew i was in big trouble.

"So.... Runt.... you think you can hit MY SON? The future alpha of this pack and get away with it? No sweetheart you have something bad coming for you." and then he said something i'd never thought i'd hear. "Strip." he said with a sparkle in his eye.

I stand there and just look at him.

"I said STRIP." He said in his alpha voice which made me flinch and start taking my clothes off.

He gets up and walks towards a cabinet he has in his office. He opens it and then opens what looks to be a secret compartment. I watch him as he pulls out a long, thick, black whip. I shutter in my skin.

"Bend over the desk" He says laughing like this was a game.

"Bad girls have consequences." He said circling around me. My dad usually hits me with a whip but never one this big and the alpha is way stronger than my dad. He drags the whip across my skin lightly and without warning cracks it down onto my back. I howl out the ugliest cry. I felt my skin rip open and blood start to pour on my back. The next strike came down onto my legs. My legs almost gave out but he held me up.

"Don't fall pretty girl." He said smiling a little to close to my face. "We're not done yet"

He cracks it again and this time in his my butt. I won't be able to sit for atlas 2 weeks now.I cry out and beg for him to stop.

"Yea thats right beg for me to stop. Maybe this will teach your stupid ass to never put your hands on my son again." He says as it brings it down on my back one more time.

"Now get dressed and get out of my face before i make it worse" he says sitting at his desk with his eyes growing darker.

This man is a creep. I put my clothes on as fast as possible trying not to touch where my skin was broken at but it was hard.*

When i cam back to reality we had walked up to a building.  By now the sweet smell was so strong i was craving whatever it was. It smelled like vanilla and lavender, 

We enter a room and i instantly lock eyes with this massive guy. He's radiating a very strong power and i cower away. I feel compelled to him but from the power he holds i can tell he's the alpha. I force my eyes away so he doesn't beat me. The guard pushes me down in front of the Alpha and i can hear the alpha low growl but not loud enough for anyone else to hear.

I wonder how i could hear it. Anyway i keep my head down and stare at the ground. The alpha says something but i'm to scared to even listen.

"Look at me when i talk to you." His voice booms in the room and i instantly look up. My eyes are full of tears and fear and his face suddenly softens. He quickly catches himself and his face turns into a glare.

"Who are you and why are you trespassing on my boarders?" He says seeming annoyed now.

"M-" i hear a small sound and look around. Everyone is just looking at me waiting for an answer. Did no one else hear that.

"My name is-" "Mate" i hear it again and i look around like i'm going crazy. Everyone is looking at me like i'm crazy and I'm convinced i've turned into a crazy person.

"Are you okay?" he asks a little concerned stepping towards me. I let out a low growl and crawl into a ball trying to defend myself from his hit.

"Please don't hit me." I yell out in fear not even realizing this is the first time I've growled since i first got my wolf. He looks at me taken aback snatching his hand away.

"I'm not going to hit you. Why would you think that?" he says curiously but with worry in his eyes.

I look at him and start crying. I can't deal with any of this right now. I start having a panic attack and next thing i know everything is black again.
