Chapter 6.

She looks at me intently, her eyes glowing with pity and I hope and pray she agrees but No she says "I'm sorry, I can't do that."

I continued begging her using all the kind words I could fathom to convince her but she stood her ground, telling me shit that the Alpha is going to find me if I escape and when he does he's gonna kill us both.

Not buying that out, I decided to sort out other plans. "Okay then. I guess you won. Take me to the mining" I believe that place is quite open and will pave the way for me to escape.

She gave me a doleful smile and led me there. She started showing me around and explaining things to me but I wasn't listening.

The only thing I could grasp is that this is where they embedded golds.

I was too busy surveying and finding an escape route. And then it clicked, I saw a small path leading down to the depth of a forest which seemed to have no end.

"Ma'am priyanka.." I slurred, holding my torso, wrinkling my face as though I was in pain.

"What's going on?" She asks in panic.

"I—I—Can you please get me water?" I faked tears.

"Umm..off course yeah..let's get inside"

"Really? Can't you see? I can't even move..." I half-yelled to admit the fake tears. After contemplating for a while, she finally left. I watched her leave till she was off sight.

MMission accomplished, Great!!

Getting back on my feet, I took off. I ran through the pathway heading off into the forest. The pains in my leg increased but I cared less.

Who knows this might be the only chance I'll have to escape and so I can't toil with it.

I kept running deeper and deeper into the forest hoping and praying to come out in an open place.

I know I don't know exactly where I was headed but I just pray and hope I'm able to go out far away from the park. Hours passed by and I kept running.

I was barely even breathing so I decided to take a rest under a big tree.

I sat down there and I slowly closed my eyes. A woofing and growling sound jolted me out of sleep. The moment I opened my eyes, I was met with pure red eyes.

The creature was extra huge having shaggy hairs, long snouts and stocky legs. It was an animal and it was standing a few inches away from me.

My heart came drumming inside my chest. the more he draws near, the more my heart drums. I stood up immediately and took to my heels.

I started running wildly with the back of my leg touching my head, I looked at my back to see the animal jiggling after me.

It was faster than me...

I tried increasing my pace but it seemed so impossible as I was too weak. But in any case I didn't relent.

As I continued running, I felt myself slacking back as I realised I was running back to the park—the Lymia park.

I look back and the animal was now very close to me. Okay I was thrown into a word of delima. Should I go back there to the park or stay back and allow the bear to have its way with me?

I know both decisions mean death for me but at this point the Lymia park seems to be the ultimate option.

I was still running when I stumbled on a stone and fell down.

I tried standing up

standing up- keyword-tried.

But the bear came with full speed and pounced on me on the ground.

Okay I know I'm dead.

I closed my eyes as it dug its claws into my skin. I waited for it to start devouring me but instead I heard kicks and pouches which made me open my eyes to see another fierce creature attacking the animal.

It was a wolf.

The wild and the bear started fighting, but the wolf was having the upper hand. He pounces on the bear and starts tearing it apart. The bear was roaring in pain yet the wolf didn't stop till it completely tore it apart. Once it was done, the wolf looked at me, his eyes were fiery red.

I brace myself as I know I'm next to be devoured and there's no way I'm escaping this but the wolf kept staring at me intently and before I knew it.

It was gone.

What??

"Are you okay?" I was startled at the sudden voice I heard beside me.

I look up to see a strange guy. He was average height, had coffee brown hair and his blue eyes were as calm as the sea.

"Who are you?" I asked, scared.

"I'm Wallace, the beta of limia park." He grinned, more like smirking. "Let's get out of here." He helped me stand up and asked me to follow him.

I know he's taking me back to the park so I didn't want to follow him. But wait...what was he even doing here? Did he find out I escaped?

"What are you doing here?" I asked and glumped.

"I should be asking you that.. we better get going. You don't want the Alpha to find you here." He said and I started following him.

"Now tell me what were you doing out there?" He broke the short silence as we were walking side by side.

"I—I just wanted to get some air." I robbed my nose.

'Really? That's the best lie you could come out with.'I mentally slapped myself.

He looked at me and he chuckled slightly, obviously not believing me.

"Your choice of ventilation sure is one of a kind. What if you've gotten killed by that bear huh?" He said sarcastically and something in my gut told me he was that wolf..

That wolf who practically saved my life from the bear.

"Thank you" I found myself saying.

"Excuse me? For what?"

"I know you were that wolf right?" I asked. "Thank you so much." I added.

He just smiled with a nod.
