Chapter 6

Chapter 6

MAYBE it was out of fear that even when my body was sore all over, I was able to get on my feet to run. Calgary watched me as I weakly twisted the knob. He's obviously enjoying seeing me struggle just to get away from him, but the smirk on his handsome face made me eager to leave his territory.

I gritted my teeth as I struggled to walk. With my hand on my wounded tummy, I dragged myself towards the stairs and tried to hurry. Calgary's footsteps echoed behind me, and the more he was getting closer towards me, the harder my heart banged inside my chest.

I can't die here. Not in this forsaken place, not when I still hadn't earned my mother's pride in Zenios.

Her face appeared in my head, and as I hurried down the stairs, all my hardships in Alpha Lawrence's hands came inside my mind. It gave me the motivation to jump down the stairs as I shifted into my wolf form. I landed on all fours, and before I ran outside, I glanced at Calgary who was standing on top of the staircase, looking at me with a grin no one would ever want to see.

His jaw moved as his eyes turned gold. "Run, pup. Don't let me catch you..."

Auror whimpered like a scared puppy, but I let myself take full control of our body. My head tilted to see the door before I ran with hopes that my strength was enough for me to leave Calgary's territory. The rules of Nirvana were clear. Once I step outside Claivan, Calgary would have no right anymore to chase me.

I should be fine, I convinced myself before I gave my all as I ran.

The people of Claivan watched me make my way towards the gloomy woods. I didn't notice that it was already night time, making it a little harder for me to roam around the unfamiliar part of Nirvana.

Regardless of the mist avoiding me from seeing clearly, I tried my best to search my way out. I sniffed the air, trying to find the trail of my own scent with hopes that it remained after a week of me being in a deep slumber in Calgary's lair.

Auror begged me to submit to Calgary, probably because she was afraid that we'd suffer more than we experienced in Alpha Lawrence's hands if Calgary would catch us, but I didn't survive in the hands of my own Alpha for me to quit this early.

I snarled and ran faster when his scent started to mix with the misty air that's conquering the woods. My wounds were beginning to open, making it harder for me to move, but regardless of the pain coming from my tummy and limbs, I pushed myself to reach the end of his territory.

Hopes filled my heart when I realized I was about to reach Claivan's boundary. I looked back to check if he was following me, and when I didn't see Calgary tailing me, I managed to flash an internal smirk of victory.

With a few more steps, I was about to reach the other side of the woods, but just when I was about to step out of Claivan Pack's territory, a massive black wolf with white furs on his throat down to his belly, slammed itself into me. I whimpered in pain when his teeth dug into my neck, forcing me to stand down. Auror begged me, louder this time, but I was already close to freeing ourselves from Calgary, so even when I was in pain and Auror no longer wanted to cooperate, I tried to fight the big wolf.

Calgary growled a terrifying growl when I tried to attack him. He pushed me down once again, bit me on my neck, until my own blood started to stain my white fur. The pain of his bite almost took away my strength.

How is this possible? The old wolves in our pack said that a mate's bite when they wanted to inflict pain is the most painful bite we could ever experience, while their mark is the most ethereal one we could ever try.

Why did Calgary's canines feel like heated iron digging through my skin?

His Beta appeared to bring him clothes. When he realized that his bite paralyzed me, he shifted back to his human form and wore his underwear and jeans before he spoke to me with so much dominance.

"Shift, or you'll suffer even more," he commanded, but I still tried to fight him, hoping if I'd get away just a little bit, I'd finally reach the other side of the woods where he could no longer have power over me.

I growled and tried to bite him back, but he was too strong. He even crashed his body on top of me to prevent me from moving before he bit me again, deeper this time. Auror cried inside me as she felt most of the pain coming from Calgary's bite. It made her weaker, and I felt bad that she had to suffer more because of my stubbornness.

"I said fucking shift. Don't make me repeat myself."

Afraid that his bite would soon kill Auror, I shifted back into my human form with a heavy heart. My bloodshot eyes glared at him as I hopelessly curled into a ball to cover my naked body, but Calgary went on his knee in front of me before he clutched a handful of my hair.

"Look where mercy and compassion brought you, hmm?" He smirked. "This better be the last time you will disobey me, pup. I have no patience for stupid weaklings."

He forced me to wear his shirt. Since my frame was too small compared to him, his fitted shirt hung on my shoulders like a short dress.

I watched him stand while he kept his gaze on me. "Get up."

My hands clenched as I quenched my eyes at him. "You don't own me. I don't belong here."

"Cut the crap. Fuck the rules of this land. You are here, so you are mine. Either you'll bow to me or you'll dig your own grave. All you gotta do is choose." He shifted his gaze towards his Beta. "Take her now, Lynel. You know what to do."

His Beta gave him a slight nod. "Where should I take her after she gets her stitches done?"

I felt chills down my spine when Calgary met my eyes once more before he answered his Beta.

"Chain her in my bedroom. That bad pup needs to learn her fucking lessons."
