3- Running away

Alex POV~

“Lastly, did you sabotage my plans about the attack on the Crystal forest Pack?”. My dad asked me.

“No I didn’t!”. I denied even though both my dad and I know very well that I am lying. I hated the fact that he keeps attacking innocent werewolves for no reason. Such an insane man. So when I saw his plan about invading a werewolf pack, I changed the plans and the map to the pack. At the end of the day, when the hunters went out for operation, the map led them to a dead end. They came back and reported it to my father who is the lord over the hunters. My dad knew somebody had tempered with the plan. And who else will it be except me. My dad has always hated me since as long as I can remember. Why he has not yet been killed, I have no idea.

“I had enough of your stupid behaviors! You are not but a nuisance to me. You don’t work, you don’t do anything only to stay in the door every day like a weakling you are. From now henceforth, you are no longer my son. Give him thirty stroke of came!” My father ordered before he left the room. Two of his men held me by my arms while another caned me. By the time they were done, I was too weak to even move. I laid on the ground groaning in pain. Everyone left me in the room alone.

I don’t know what I ever did to any of them. They all disperse me except for Lily, one of the servant girls.

After some minutes, the door opened again and I heard footsteps coming close to me! I didn’t need to turn to know that it was Lily.

“Are you okay Alex?”. She asked me as she kneels beside me. I groan to answer her question.

“Stupid me! That’s not a question to ask seeing the state you are in! Can you seat up? I brought you some pain reliever drugs. Lily helped me to sit and pass me the drugs and a cup of water.

“Thank you!”. I smiled at her as I drank the medicine and dropped the cup right next to me.

“No need to thank me! It’s my pleasure. I heard from the hunters that your father disowned you. What are you going to do now?.” Lily asked, concerned.

“Yeah he did! I honestly don’t know why he took him long enough to do so!” I honestly said. My father and I have never for once spoken like a father and son should. I knew he had always tolerated me for my mom’s sake. So when she died, I thought he would do away with me. To my surprise, he kept me around for reasons best known to him.

“Stop talking like you are an unwanted person! I am sure your dad doesn't mean it!.” Lily sadly said, trying to cheer me up.

“I am not angry about the whole thing. I have always wanted to leave this toxic place. And now that I got the chance, I am surely going to leave!”. I stated with determination. I have only left this campground about three times in my whole life and all the three times, I was either with my mom or brothers. I am tired of the place. I have always wished for an opportunity to explore the world outside this campground.

“So you are really leaving?.” Lily sadly asked.

“Of course but I promise that I will come back for you!.” I said and her eyes brightened up.

“You promise?.” She asked.

“I promise!.” I assured her.

“Pinky promise then?.” Lily brought out her pinky finger.

“Pinky promise!.” I brought out my pinky finger and crossed it over hers. I pulled her in for a hug. She is the only person I am going to miss.

“Alright I have to get back to work before Mam Cara notices I am missing! Be safe out there and make sure you keep your promise and come back and get me!.” Lily pecked my forehead before she took the cup and got up and left the room.

I sat there for a few minutes before I got up. I head to my room so that I can pack my clothes and leave.

As I head to my room, I hear whispers coming from my dad’s room. The curiosity in me made me put my head on the door to listen to their conversation. It’s my dad and my brothers.

“Now that you have disowned him, what will happen to our plans then?” I heard my brother Jonah ask my father.

“The plans still remain the same!” My father replied to him.

“But what about access to the funds? You know that we need those funds to be able to purchase weapons that will help us destroy the werewolves. And since your wife left the funds in his name, we can only access it through him!.” My other brother Luke said. My eyes widened in understanding. So this is the reason why my father kept me all this while. He only wanted to look for an opportunity to use me for the funds. It is now that my mother’s dying words make sense to me.

flash back~

( ten year old Alex)

“Alex, my son!” My mom called me and I went closer and sat next to her on the bed She is lying on.

“Alex my son, I want you to know this, you are destined for something greater than this! Any opportunity you get to leave this place, run for your life. Never allow your father and brothers to manipulate you into joining their bad habits!” My mom said, Although I didn’t understand what she was talking about, I still sat and listened to her.

“Promise me that you will do as I told you!”. My mom held onto my hand.

“I promise mummy!.”

“That’s my boy. Always remember that I love you!”. My mom smiled and closed her eyes. And that was the end. She gave up the ghost.

“Well that’s simple, I am not going to be allowed to leave the camp just yet. I have already spoken to her lawyers, they ask me to come over to their office on Monday. I will go with Alex and once I got the money, I will dispose of him for life!.” My father explained his plans to my brothers.

Oh what a wonderful plan. Too bad I have heard of it already.

“What are you doing?.” An angry voice asks from behind me. It seems I have been caught already. I turned and saw my father second in command standing.

“Well?”. He asked me. I know I need to act quick or I will be in bigger trouble. I stood up and used all my strength and kicked him on his jewel. I bet he didn’t expect that from me. He placed his hands on his jewel and fell on the ground. I know the noise is going to attract the attention of my father and brothers and so I jumped out through the window thanks to my small body. I quickly ran into the forest. I kept running with all my strength in case my father’s men decided to follow me.

I kept running until I was deep into the forest and also tired.

I sat under a tree and tried to rest for a while. I was so deep into my thoughts that I didn’t realize that two men had walked towards me.

“Well well, what do we have here?”. I looked up and saw two men standing looking at me as if they wanted to eat me. By their appearance, I know that they are not my father’s men. They are both wearing very dirty and torn clothes. They both look as if they haven’t taken a shower for more than a week.

“What do you want from me?.” I bravely asked them even though I was shaking inside.

“That’s for us to know and for you to find out!.” One of them said as he licked his lips . I shiver in disgust. I knew that I had to do something to defend myself.

Just next to me, is a sharp stick laying on the ground. I slowly held it in my hand and waited for an opportunity to strike.

One of the men came close to me. I didn’t make any movement and waited for him to lean. Immediately he leaned over me, I picked the stick and pierce it into his heart.

He let out a scream of agony before he backed out. One down, one more to go. His companion was beyond furious! He charges at me but I manage to dodge him. But unfortunately for me, his nails or should I say fangs ripped me on the stomach. It was at this moment I realized that this man is not just a homeless man but a wolf rogue. I know that I don’t stand a chance against him and so I did the best thing I could do, I ran.

I can feel his following after me. I kept running and the next thing I felt was myself running into a moving car.

“Well at the end, I am still going to die!”. I thought to myself as I fell to the ground and went unconscious.

*****

(After he was rescued by Alpha Adonis)

I fell back into consciousness but my eyes were still closed. I felt my head on a warm surface while my body was on a soft surface.

“Wow? Am I in heaven?” I ran my hand down to my stomach and noticed that there is a bandage over my wound.

I opened my eyes and found myself laying in the arms of the most handsome man I have seen in my whole life. He has brown dirty hair which I wish to run my hands over, the angle of his face and his jaws lines were perfectly defined! He looks like a god even with his eyes closed. The man may be big and hulky, but he looks young. He should be in his twenties. He looks too handsome to be a human. Surely I must either be in heaven or dreaming.

The man is not wearing any shirt on his body and so I had the pleasure of staring at his fit body. He had eight packs and his muscles are stiff.

It has always been one of my fantasies to be with a hulk man. And now that I am having this amazing dream, I will enjoy it. I pressed my face deeper into his chest and inhaled his scent. He smelled masculine, like a coffee. The sleeping man who had his hand wrapped around me held me tighter.

It is at this very moment that everything clicks! This isn’t a dream! I remember running from the rogue and hitting a car.

How did I end up here in a bed with an unknown sexy hulk?. I am kidnapped?

And what did he do to me? Why am I in bed together with him? I started to panic. I try to release myself from his arms but his grip on me is too strong.

Left with no choice, I let out a loud scream.
