Call me Alpha

Chapter 36: Zeke

Ashira's POV

An hour and a half ago...

"Go! Run, fast, Luce!"

My heartbeat is drumming like crazy. I can't sense Jacob but I can feel Aiden was around. Seth must distract them or else- well, neither way will be worse. But I choose that my best buddy won't suffer more than she's already experiencing.

Whatever it is.

Lucianna ran past me, getting her quickest pace. I knew she feel the frustration and this nerving situation right now.

I can see the North border with my enhanced sight. Two-no- three guards were there.

Shit.

Maybe I could distract them?

I was about to run faster and reaching to set there first but suddenly, I was on air!

"What the-"

"Hm, scent of Aiden. You're coming with me."

He's carrying me like I'm a sack of cotton and weigh none at all! Who is this guy!?

It's dark and I can't see him because I'm faced with his back. I'm literally carried like a sack of rice on his shoulder!

"Let me go! Who the fuck are-"

Before I could say more, we stopped.

What the fuck.

I looked around. There's no one I can sense. Not one soul. Where are we?

"Get in there." he pointed towards a mini cave under a huge tree and I just eyed it with knotted forehead before bringing my eyes to him.

I saw a tall man with bulky broad shoulders. He looked young. Maybe around Aiden's age. His voice is deep and commanding. His eyes are dark and deep which emphasize his pointed nose.

I'm not sure but I think he's familiar. It's weird but his eyes looked like Aiden's but Aiden's eyes are darker and more serious than his.

"Who are you?"

He sighed and scratched his nape as he tilt his head.

"Just get inside the cave and I'll tell you. My time is limited and there's no space for trust earning, Luna."

I eyed him for a long moment and didn't spoke a word.

He looked desperate. Frustrated. I'm not sure but there's hope and definitely lacking of fear.

Does he not fear that Aiden might come after him if he do anything to me?

"I won't harm you." He said in a deep stern voice that didn't justify his phrase at all.

I took a step back.

"I'm not too friendly with strangers."

He sighed, looked around and it seems like he's trying to sense the surrounding. I tried but my senses are still acting weird and still on Aiden-only-focus.

"Fine. I'm Zeke. I'm a rogue but I won't hurt you. I just want to talk."

"Wow. Like that was enough. I don't want a talk with you-"

"Your mate denied to have a peaceful conversation with me so my mother and I decided to reach out to you." He cut, completely ignoring my protest.
