CHAPTER FIVE : VIVID RED

Derek shifted into a wolf as soon as he felt his mate life was in danger. He ran as fast as he can not caring if Magnus was still following him or not.

 Derek finally got to the slavery prison after some minutes. Derek shifted back to his human form.

 He could smell his mate's scent more now. He believed she was here. He saw two guards standing at the entrance door. Derek shifted into a guard and walked towards the guards.

 Derek composed himself as he nodded at the guards and walked past them, they nodded back to him as a form of greeting.

 Derek walked into the building even though he doesn't know where he was going, he was just following Aria's scent his mate.

 Derek finally reached a long passage way. At both sides where cells where the slaves are placed in. He saw some slaves laying on the cold ground, whole some were holding the bars of the cell not caring about the world outside there.

Well he didn't care about them, all he cared about was his mate. But he couldn't scent his mate in any of those cells he just passed by.

 There was hundreds of cells. The scent of his mate in here was very faint, meaning she has been taken away from her cell thought derek to himself.

While going back the corridor he came from, he passed a cell of his mate Aria and Amelia. Derek stopped as he sniffed in the cell, he could smell another person scent too that's Amelia but as long as he could smell his mate's scent means she was here.

'she was here ' Derek said in his head. And then a guard was passing by the same corridor Derek was in. Derek decided to ask the guard where is mate was but immediately object the idea because the guard couldn't understand the mate thing.

 When the guard was close to him how he asked "where are the slaves in this cell" as he pointed at Aria's and Amelia's cell.

 The guard looked at Derek from his head to toe before asking " are you new here?".

 "Uhumm yes , I don't really know how this place work that why I'm asking" Derek said .

" You're lucky I'm in a good mood today. The slaves are taken to the punishment room". The guard said.

 " Oh why? " Derek asked as though he really wanted to know anything about the slaves but deep down he was already losing his cool. All he wanted was to get his mate out of this damn place.

   "To receive punishment what else?" The guard answered.

   

 "Oops sorry my bad, could you tell me where the punishment room is located? " Derek asked 'probably his mate will be there as she wasn't in her cell with the other person' Derek thought in his head.

   "Why all these questions?" Now the guard was curious.

  " Just incase I'm asked to take the slaves there" Derek said as he shrugged his broad shoulders.

  "Hmm whatever, you'll take your left , down the passage way, the last room is the punishment room" the guard said as he left not wanting to answer any More questions from the annoying new guard.

  But just as he took two steps Derek twisted his neck "thank you" he said to the dead guard as he hid the body.

 Some slaves gasped in horror at what Derek did , while some don't care. Derek shifted into the guard he just killed not minding the gasps from the slaves as he took the direction the guards told him.

Some guards passed by thinking he was one of them. Derek finally got to the punishment room as he shifted back to his human form.

 He could scent his mate even more now. Just as he opened the  entrance door of the room, he saw a man removing a wet cloth from a girls face. The man being none other than Lennon.

He saw two girls tied to a chair, one with blood dripping from her open wound, while the other coughing terribly.

 And the one coughing was his mate he had been looking for over three thousand years and they were trying to kill her.

Without even thinking Derek dashed towards Lennon as he used his sharp nails and sliced his neck. Lennon's head fell of his neck.

 Derek saw his mate's widened eyes before her eyes rolled over her head and passed out.

 Derek eyes was glowing vivid red, he didn't care for the shocked expression of other's people in the room.

Derek was so angry at the condition he saw his mate. He untie Aria from the chair as he lifted her in his strong protective arms carefully.

 No one dare approached him, as they have never seen this type of creature before. His skin was greyish ash and sparkling, eyes were vivid red. 

His hair was long and braided which be packed into bun. His height was more than a human normal height.

 But what was he doing here, why was he carrying a slave with care in his arms? Was she important to him? How did he get here? Was what they were asking but however their questions couldn't be answered.

Derek walked out of the gates with Aria in his arms. Magnus saw Derek with a girl coming out of the gates of the slaves prison. 'that must be her' Magnus said in his mind. He didn't enter the building with Derek.

"Well is that her?" Magnus asked as Derek was closed to him now.

" Yes" Derek replied as she removed the hair away from his mate face to have a better view.

 "She's so fragile , I don't want to hurt her" Derek said and Magnus rolled his eyes. ' she's beautiful' Derek  said in his head.
