Chapter 9

The only sound I heard was of birds chirping... it was surprising that even though the wind was blowing hard not even a single leaf moved everything was so still.

I kept running and couldn't stop laughing. After running for some time into the forest I was tired and then stopped and turned around, I frowned when I saw no one ..was I running alone all along.

I sighed and started walking that's when I saw two swings at the end of the forest which lead into a plain ground, that looked peaceful...

As I walked closer I saw a man sitting and swinging slowly, my face broke into a big grin.. and I sped my pace.

When I neared him I slowly flew up a little from the ground while giggling all through the process.

" I know you are here... where were you.." he said.

" Right behind you ... up in the air" I laughed. He sighed and got up from the swing, I waited for him to turn around ...I wanted to see his face...

then everything was white.. pure white...

I shut my eyes tightly.. " are you awake?"

I slowly opened my eyes. the sudden influx of light causing stinging pain in my eyes. I blinked my eyes for a few seconds to adjust my vision. I was laying on my tummy, a sheet covering my body.

"Thank goddess!! You're awake!!"

I turned myself around " ouch!!" I groaned keeping my hand on my back.

" don't!! you will hurt yourself"

With great difficulty I turned half round and balanced my body on one elbow, I saw a girl of my age staring back at me worried. She was wearing a blue plain shirt and a cream skirt, her hair tied into a ponytail.

I rolled the sheet over my body and sat on the bed. She came to me and her face broke into a heartwarming smile

" hi... I'm Sarah... I'm a nurse"

I frowned...I looked around, it didn't seem like a hospital and why did I need a nurse.

As if she sensed my confusion she said " I know you might not remember anything, you were..err.. you know... the alpha he didn't mean you..erhh but you came in between.."

That's when it struck me.. he was going to punish Sam.. he's a Monster. A tear rolled on my cheek.

" I'm so sorry what happened to you.. we all thought you were Rogues," she said.

"Wait.. what you all thought?" I asked her shocked.

" your friend.. errh..told Alpha everything after you passed out" she informed me. I nodded my head.

" where is she??" Suddenly Sam crossed my mind.

She smiled and said " she is in her.." she went brooding. She was mind linking and then her face turned worried

"I need to go.. I'll see you soon. Take care and if you anything just ask someone around here, I'll come " she quickly grabbed her stuff.

" where is Sam??" I asked her again worried.

" oh.. your friend she's in her room. I'll tell her to come and meet you" she said smiling and with that, she left.

That was weird! I rolled my eyes and got off the bed. I once again looked around it was a master bedroom with a king-size bed in the centre, a balcony on the side opposite the bedroom door and there is a passage behind the left to the bed with two doors. I opened one, it lead to the huge bathroom and another one was locked.

back in the room I walked over to the mirror placed in the corner and slowly loosened the sheet around my back clutching its other end over my chest. A gasp escaped my lips there was a huge mark that went from the tip of my scapula to the middle of my lower back.

That was when an angry growl came from behind... I quickly covered myself up and looked through the mirror into the hypnotizing grey orbs.

~ADONIS POV~

I made a huge mistake, I should have seen that. Silly girl trying to protect her friends. But what did that cause me pure pain? Seeing her in this state with a huge scar on her back, made me realise how wrong I was from the start, I should have sent someone for a proper investigation instead of locking them up.

I looked at her sleeping, lying on her tummy, her blonde hair was spread on the bed and her milky white skin against a dark sheet, her face has gone a little paler but better than the last few days. when Sam told me about what happened to their pack... I regretted having let her go through all this alone. If only I knew…

I took her hands in mine to take her pain and let her wound heal, perks of being an Alpha. I asked Sarah to check on her once every day, rest I took it myself to help heal her, I dressed her wounds... I washed her clean... I have come to worship her body…she was flawless. I knew every mark on her body its been imprinted in my memory and it was going to last forever. But the scar would take some time to fade, a reminder of my mistake. I kissed her hands caressing them. So peaceful, my sleeping beauty.

"Alpha, you need to come and see this" Rad my omega mind linked me, after numerous attempts to reach my mind I let him in, which I usually don't when I'm with her.

"This better be something important Rad," I replied and got up from the chair I sat, beside the bed next to her.

I walked to the interrogation room inside our prison where I use to torture and punish the guilty to speak up. This room has witnessed more cruelty than a war ground or hell. When I entered I saw a man with bloodied face hanging his head down chained to the chair in silver.

"He is one of them" Chris said wiping his hands of blood "but he wouldn't speak against his Alpha,"

"Mm.. a loyal one indeed, I see" I spoke as I took a chair and put it right in front of him. "What's your name?"

He looked at me through his hair and scoffed. Chris pulled his hair back and made him look at me. I smirked, "let's try this just one more time, what is your name?"

When he didn't answer, my patience was thinning I stood up with an angry growl which made His head bow due to the Alpha power radiating from me. His nose started bleeding due to him trying to resist me while Chris looked at me to stop.

"Adonis stop you would kill him.." he said

I stopped myself from further harming him, he fell limp in the sitting position on the chair. Chris checked his pulse and looked at me "thank god he's alive…"

"Alex take him back to the cell" he called out, while I walked out of the room with Chris right behind me "what were you thinking? Look I know about what happened recently. But we need this guy aliv-"

I growled and pushed Chris against the wall holding his neck "don't, not a word… you should have done this way before. A proper search or investigation would have saved us all the pain."

Chris bowed his head when I loosened his neck, "I'm sorry,"

I left him there not staying a single extra second to hear his justification and walked back to the pack house when I heard Sarah say something I'm waiting to hear for two days … "Alpha, she's awake."
