Sold To My Alpha Mate

The moment I was jared from sleep for no reason, I knew that something was very wrong. There was a sense of alarm that wouldn’t leave me as I lay there.

Something was wrong, something was coming for us and despite not knowing what it was, I knew it was a very bad thing. I scanned our surroundings but there was nothing in sight. I even tried to know if I could smell anything, any foreign or dangerous aura but I got none.

The apprehension was still there and to add to the very bad feeling that I was going through right now, my wolf confirmed my bad feelings as it stirred within me. She was restless and uneasy, and my instincts warned me of imminent danger that was coming.

As if she knew what was going on, Tianna stirred up from sleep and looked towards me. She immediately brushed her face with the back of her hands as she groaned.

“What’s wrong?” She asked, while staring at me. I glanced around again before telling her about the way I felt.

“I think something isn’t right. Something is out there in the woods.” I said, knowing that there was no way I couldn’t trust myself now. This wasn’t some random suspicious feeling. It was real and I knew it.

“Can you smell anything?” She asked me. I shook my head before trying to move, forgetting that I was wounded. I groaned as the pain returned but I made sure to choke it back by gritting my teeth.

I couldn’t risk making any noise or shouting because it would be fatal. She got up immediately and looked around.

“I’ll go and check it out.” Just when she said that, I began to discern a faint scent in the air. They were here. My heart was beating very fast as I lay there, thinking about who was coming. We were in danger and it was at that moment that it struck me that we were actually running away from people.

“The guards!” She walked to the entrance and stood there for a second or two, as if she had noticed the exact same thing. She glanced back at me before slowly creeping out. You could barely hear a sound. I remembered her saying something about Alpha Ryker not giving up.

Perhaps this was the moment that was going to happen. I looked down at my leg and noticed that it was healing very fast, faster than I had imagined but the pain had barely gotten better. It was almost as bad as it was yesterday. I pushed back until my back hit the jagged surface of the large cave, before straddling myself up slowly.

“Ugggh!” I groaned, while biting back the pain. I stood up slowly and began to hop on one foot towards the door. The wound was still pulsating and I knew that it would have been worse if there was nothing she had used to hold both legs together.

It would have been horribly painful but thankfully, she knew a bit about treatment. Getting to the entrance, I laid back my head on the wall and took several sharp breaths, closing my eyes while hoping that the pain would ebb soon enough.

Just as I tried moving again, Tianna rushed through the entrance. She looked so worried. I knew at that moment that I had been right all along.

“Trackers!” He gasped with a barely audible voice. Speaking in a whisper wouldn’t be helpful any longer because they were surely going to come in here whether we tried to hide it or not.

“Shit!” I growled. “Where are they?” She made for the bags on the floor and slung them over her shoulders.

“They are coming this way. I’m not sure we can go far before they come here. I wish this didn’t happen to you.” She said, This is over for me, I just knew it. She had to go and leave me alone, or we both would die.

“You know what, Tianna.” I said to her, shaking my head. “I think you should go. Leave me alone here! I will take care of this, and I promise ill-”

She interrupted immediately. “Don’t even come up with those. Don’t try to be the hero because those bastards won’t think about it before killing you. We need to get out of here, and I don’t care if they catch up or-” I cut her short.

“Don’t start that emotional thing here, okay? If they meet us here, they are going to kill the both of us. You can run and escape but I can’t. In one way or the other, the information must reach Venom. You must tell him what happened here and who’s against us. If you stay with me, and try to save me, I’ll end up dragging the both of us down and I don’t fucking want you to die. Just leave.” I said again, but she didn’t listen to me.

Instead she shook her head. “I’ll be damned if I leave you here. I can’t let them catch you. I’ll fight if that’s what needs to be done.” She added. With the way she was talking, I knew that it was going to be a very hard task trying to convince her to leave. Yeah, she had to leave but she wasn’t having any of it.

“Why are you doing this, Tianna. This is not the right thing. We don’t have to be emotional over this. Use your fucking head. Do you wanna die?!” I growled at her again.

“These people only want me, they don’t want you. And when they catch us, they’re going to first kill you. And when you’re dead, they’ll take me back to their Pack. You see, that’s what’s going to happen if we don’t act immediately. Just leave right now. We have already spent a lot of time arguing. Just get out, Tianna, and don’t stop running until-” I was cut off when I heard a loud command outside the cave.

“Halt!” The booming voice ran out loud and clear. “Take your positions.” The manly voice said again, “and make sure nobody inside this cave escapes.”

I felt a very bad feeling course its way down my spine. I turned towards her and asked.

“How many are they?”

“Four trackers.” She said in a breath.
