"Are you okay?"
I look at the side where the voice came from and saw a woman with bow and arrows. She look at me worriedly as she scan the rouge to assure that it was already dead.
I nodded. Unable to speak from what happened.
"I am Calissa" she introduced while extending her hand to me. I smile it when I recovered.
"Amiya"
She doesn't have the stinky smell like the rouge a while ago, it only means she belongs to a pack.
"Thanks God you're okay"
"Ahm.. you're not a rouge right?" I ask her just to confirm my guess.
She nodded. " Yes and so are you" her eyes diverted to the dead rouge. "I know you're wondering why I am here"
Am I that obvious? I didn't answer her and remain silent.
"My alpha ordered me to kill this rouge. She came to our pack and started to make some ruckus this morning" she explain.
I just nodded. Is she a pack warrior? It's impossible if it's not since she was ordered by her Alpha. Only a pack warrior has assign to chase and kill the rouges. Unless she's someone the Alpha really trusted.
"Thank you" I said in gratitude. I have nothing to say besides I still can't believe that I will be saved by someone. A simple thank you may do, I guess?
"That's okay. I know I have to save you when I saw you going to be killed by that stinky rouge" she said.
She starts to walk and I was just leaved here looking and still standing at my spot when she turn and look at me.
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Let's go to my pack or else you'll be turn into a rouge" she said that makes my eyes wide in shock.
I suddenly became hesitant.
"Hey, don't worry. My brother is the Alpha. I assure you he will let you stay in the pack" she said.
Her brother is the Alpha? I hope he's kind. I already have a traumatic experience with the Alpha that made me think that all Alphas are like my brother. A devil and wicked.
"Are you somehow part of the pack warrior?" I asked her to erase my negative thoughts as we walked.
She glance at my side. " Actually, I'm not. I just volunteer myself to catch that stinky bitch. I hate her for what she did to our pack today. She bombarded our peaceful morning."
After she told me that, I was already in a deep thought. Could it be there was a connection between our pack and her pack? We were attack this morning and a rouge also invaded their pack and brought some ruckus.
"Hey" I said calling her attention. She look at me.
"How far is your pack from the Riverside Pack?"
Her eyebrows furrowed. "500 meters. Why?"
"Is your pack is the only pack near the Riverside Pack?" I ask her again.
She hold her chin and look up as if thinking for something.
"Yes. The rest of the packs takes a kilometer or two before you'll reach it if you're in the Riverside Pack" she explain and that gives to my conclusion
"Our pack was attack by the rouges this morning" I told her.
She stop from walking and turn to me.
"Wait, which pack?"
"Riverside Pack"
She gasped. "Oh God! The Riverside Pack was attacked by rouges?! W-wait, are you telling me—?"
"Yes. It could be. They distract you so that your pack can't send any help to our pack"
"That scumbags! I really want to kill them!" she shouted. She look at me. "I'm so sorry on what happened to your pack. That explains why you're here in the forest"
I became silent. I could feel her rage towards the rouges and somehow, I feel the opposite. If the rouges didn't attack the Riverside Pack, I wouldn't be saved. I wouldn't have the opportunity to escape that hell. My pack is worse than any other rouges lurking in this forest. They are all evils, more particular, devils in disguise.
"Hey, don't worry, you are going to be part of our pack now. We will let you stay" she said smiling.
I smile. "Yeah, thank you"
We continue to walk and after a couple of hours I already saw a boundary. We're already in their pack.
"Lady Calissa" a pack warrior greeted Calissa when we reach their pack's entrance. He glanced at me eyeing me with suspicion.
"Arthur, is the Alpha's here?" Calissa ask the pack warrior.
"Yes, Milady. He's currently in the mansion right now" The pack warrior answered with respect and slightly bow.
Calissa just nodded and continue to walk. I was going to follow her when the pack warrior already block me with his spear.
I gasped in shock. If it wouldn't because of my reflexes my face will be hit by his spear! He almost hit me like I'm an enemy.
Feeling the tension, Calissa turn her back to us and saw our position. She looked at us with awe and immediately walk to our side.
"Oh no no! She's my friend, Arthur. She's not an enemy" she told the pack warrior named Arthur. She hold the tip of the spear and push it aside from pointing at me.
Arthur glared at me but didn't say a word and just stand back withdrawing his spear from pointing at me.
"Thanks, Arthur" Calissa said. She look at me and was about to hold my hand when I immediately avoid it. I heard a low growl from Arthur but I didn't flinched. He thinks that I disrespect his lady but I'm not.
Calissa look at me a little bit of disappointed. "Ahm.. let's go?"
I nod and just like in the forest, I just follow her at the back. I sighed. Almost. She almost touch me and if I'm not fast enough to keep my hands away from her she will be dead by now.
I smile bitterly as I remember how these hands killed my parents. These hands can take the life of the person that touches it. Not only a person, but everything that has its life. I'm a curse because of this. That is why my brother imprisoned me and the whole pack abandoned me.
I feel a slight tap at my shoulder. "Where here" she said softly. I saw worry flashed her eyes but seconds later it was vanished.
I roam my eyes at the mansion. The exterior designs are very explicit it feels like I exist in a classical era. There are also a statue of wolves forming in a line perpendicular to the fountain at the center.
I saw a lot of omegas as we enter the whole mansion. The interior design of the mansion made me flabbergasted. If the exterior gives you the classical feeling, the interior design emits the feeling of modernity. This mansion is awesome.
I was so engrossed by the designs of the mansion that I already forgot of why we are here.
I heard Calissa cleared her throat that divert my attention from the mansion to her. I look at the person in front of us. He has this intimidating aura but his eyes seems friendly.
"Amiya, this is my brother"
"I'm Alpha Rider"
I gasped. He stretched his hand in front of me and smile. His smile is warm that make me feel at ease.
I didn't accept his hand.
"Amiya" I introduced then smile.
Disappointment was written in his face but it was immediately change into a smile.
"Welcome to the Black Moon Pack, Amiya" he said.
And that feel me welcome to my new home. To the start of my new beginning. To my new pack.
