Chapter 2

I'M A MURDERER??

Elisa's POV 

The gasps of the guests grew louder than ever, some covered their mouths in shock while the rest had their mouths wide open in awe.

"Shut the fuck up, you little liar, you are a thief and a petty murderer but a liar? " He raged.

I shook my head in denial, trying to get closer to him but at this point the guards had already caught up with me, gripping me firmly and pinning me down to a spot, I couldn't move a muscle, I was basically double paralyzed, both in shock of the confrontation and in severe pain from their grip. 

"No please, I have never tried to poison you Roland, why would I try to do such a thing to you? I love you and would never try to harm you "I tried to explain further but He obviously wasn't ready for any explanations. 

I felt my heart rip into pieces, he didn't want to hear anything from me, how could he act this way to me? And how could he accuse me of such grave crimes?I was sobbing right now and my mascara mixed with my tears making me look like a witch from a horror movie.

"You are a lying bitch! What do you think you're doing? Crying? Trying to make the world pity you? "He yelled at me and immediately I stopped crying and was stunned.

"Such a pretender" Selena rolled her eyes in disgust "Don't think your stupid tears would guarantee your forgiveness. Everyone here, Elisa is a murderer and a thief "Selena announced facing the audience.

Now I wasn't just feeling the pain of betrayal, I was burning with rage, if there was one thing I wouldn't condone then it would be false accusations and having my name thrown to the mud.

"I have never tried to kill the alpha, and I am not a thief " I tried to defend myself and that's the moment I got the greatest shock of my life.

Hot burning tears rolled down my cheeks and I felt my knees go weak immediately. I felt numb and the only thing I could hear was the sound of a loud thunderous slap which continued to ring in my ears. My cheeks stung badly.

"Roland....,You ...., You slapped me, why? " My voice was already breaking at this point. 

"And I would do it again and again, you lowly omega! How dare you? You bastard, you deny the fact that you tried to poison me and also tried to steal from me to make me look like a liar? ,is that what you mean? That I the alpha would tell lies against you?" he barked.

I couldn't believe my eyes, Roland just raised his hand on me, I mean this is not the first time though, but in front of everyone?.

"No, I never meant it that way Roland "I heard myself say.

 Wait!!? Was I defending this man??.. I was defending someone that was accusing me of crimes I didn't commit??. WOW!. This had better be a dream.

"It's Alpha Roland for you, and from now on I reject you Elisa as my mate! "He said without batting an eyelid. "Guards take her away, and make sure I don't ever see her shadow in the Rowblood pack from henceforth". Roland commanded.

I don't know how it happened but what I know was that the next second I was running and very very fast. 

The guards were chasing me down and I kept running with my life and when I had thought I had escaped I was trying to catch my breath near a nearby tree. I heard a bang on my head which had my head bleeding profusely. 

Everywhere became blurry as I tried to look at my attackers, I couldn't catch their faces, Of course. But as I fell to the ground I saw a log of wood stained with my own blood. I was hit on the head with a log of wood?? . Why would anyone be so cruel?.

"Ouch" I cried in pain.

"Why are you treating me like this !" I cried as I rolled on the dirt floor in the middle of the isolated forest holding my head which was already gushing with blood. 

We were already at the boundary of the pack and I just could not take it anymore.

There was a roar of laughter from them and I watched them feeling embarrassed and humiliated.

"What do you think you are? Do you think you are still the Alpha's mate?" One asked and my face fell.

"You are just an omega and a betrayer. Don't you dare try to talk to us like you are higher than us. You are a nobody you bitch" the others barked angrily at me and they both left me there to rot in the outskirts of the pack.

Of course I was no longer the Alpha's mate. I was also nobody now, who had been sent out and banished from the pack. Lastly, I was also a lowly Omega.

But there were two things I wasn't. One was a betrayer and Two someone that was going to die like this.

I grabbed one of my attackers by the throat with one hand and struggled to reach for the knife in his waist belt with my other hand. After getting hold of the knife I stabbed him hard on his chest and he groaned in pain and immediately let me go.

I fell on the ground and immediately stood up and began to run as fast as my legs could carry me because I was being chased by the other guards who were baffled that I would make such a move.

While I was running my head, which was severely hurt, was banging with migraine and questions.

Did I just kill a human??

Oh my God, does that make me the murderer I previously had been accused of being?

Was I going to jail??

This was self defense wasn't it?

I didn't even bother to turn back to see what happened to him and only focused on getting out of the forest alive. 

I've been running non-stop for about 15 minutes yet I could feel the footsteps of the guards still running after me, that stab was only able to buy me a few minutes.

My wolf senses were high on alert and my heart jumped into my stomach as I ran faster, panting like a mad dog. I was slowly losing energy and needed to catch my breath but I didn't dare to stop. I could see bright light and I could hear the buzzing sounds of a new city in front. 

"If I'm able to get into this city maybe I would be safe" I muttered to myself increasing my pace, the guards were still chasing faster than before but I managed to get into the city. 

I turned to take a glance at the guards that were chasing me, I was about 30 meters ahead of them already but my feet wouldn't dare stop for a nanosecond.

Then I noticed something about these guards, they weren't looking like guards. They wore the uniform of guards yet something about them just looked different and felt different, I was feeling the negative aura they possessed.

Well, this wasn't the time to process that as my feet were still running 120 meters per second and was in the middle of crossing the street to a more crowded part where I could camouflage. 

I had already crossed the first part and slowly turned from facing the guards so I could cross to the next part of the road. 

“ Hey!, ….Get the fuck out of the road!!” I heard someone scream from behind the wheels of a fast moving car that was headed towards my direction.

The warning came too late, because I didn't hear it until this car ran me over. 

I had just escaped death from the guards Roland sent to seize me not even up to a minute ago. Now this?

I felt my body paralyze as I slowly gave up the ghost. But just before I closed my eyes I managed to get a blur glimpse of him. 

“Are you okay?’’ He rushed towards me trying to feel my pulse.

I said nothing but admired his features, this man was too goddam handsome.

“I'm really sorry for tripping you over ..I'm Nathan…”

That was the last thing I heard before everything went blank.
