Chapter Five

ELARA POV

I immediately move towards the darkness, hoping I would come into the kitchen and then into the backyard, I’m in luck when I spot glass double doors, the moon reflecting into the room, I push the door open and meet with the kitchen, I almost want to scream in happiness, I immediately push the backdoor open, a large land mass stares back at me, flowers lining the first half of the garden.

Freedom.

At last, I could do what I want, say what I want, eat what I want, it will only take a step, a step that would make me leave my mate behind, I turn, taking a look at the palace, maybe one day I’ll return here, a stronger version of myself.

Quickly running, with my satchel around my neck, I make a run for it across the land, I’ve never been so fast before, I guess freeing from my oppressors gives me the strength I need.

Ten minutes is all it takes to get to the fence, its high and metallic, shinning deep into the night.

“you don’t want to do that” I hear a strong deep voice, sharp and condensing, Zane.

“and what’s it to you? Huh? What?” my eyes fill with tears, pushing my hair to the side,

“what?”

“can’t I leave this place? Can’t I live?” My voice changes, the tempo of my voice going higher, “I’ve been subjected to the most horrendous and horrible moments of my life, I had surrendered to being a footstool for the rest of my life, surrendered to not even keeping my own mate!!” I scream staring up at his eyes, his eyes face down cast.

“you’re an omega, I can’t be with you.” His eyes raise to meet mine, “I can’t let you be the Luna, I have responsibility, and you? You’re just nothing.” He says waving his hands at me, like I genuinely mean nothing, his face morphs into one of anger suddenly “Just know, you might die in there, so your choice?”. He looks down at me, eyes challenging

“I’ll take that than being here another minute, I’ll rather die in the hands of rouges, than here, at least I know, I have felt freedom.” I turn around grabbing the metal wires to climb

“You know this will hurt you as much as it will hurt me.” He whispers but I catch it, I know what he means, the mark, in the quest of an orgasm, he marked me, making me his, we can never depart from another or it will cause pain, the mating bond is meant to make us stronger with each other and weaker away from each other, bursts of pains, he would feel what I feel, get into my thoughts and so can I, and I let him mark me.

I look up at the metal wires, looking into the forestry I’m about to take the chance of my life, could I risk that kind of life? Separated from my mate, to what I feel will be the rest of my life, or dying at the hands of rouges tonight? or Tomorrow?

I take a breath, “I’ve made my choice its up to you to do the same” I whisper climbing the rest of the fence, his eyes follow me as I land on the other side, he stands opposite me, not an ounce of emotion on his face, the light in his eyes are dead.

I turn around, walking away, my freedom awaits.
