「️♕️」️

We were now walking towards their territory, with the men holding me captive as they send me glares. I glared back at them before one of them pushed me forward.

You might be curious, they outnumbered me and now we are going to their territory.

But before they could hold me as their captive I gave them some cuts and bruises. They might have captured me but not before I inflict some pain on them.

We are now nearing their territory and from what I can see many guards are surrounding their border. I observed that they are big in defense and they also have that many guards. This pack is a strong one from what I can tell, their men are also trained and I could see their bulging muscles, their faces looks scary that sends shivers down my spine and that wasn’t a good one.

The guards sent me curious looks as we passed by, each of them giving me a raised eyebrow in return I stuck my tongue out at them childishly. But they just remained stoic.

We kept on walking, how far is their pack house? We had been walking for around ten minutes since we passed their border, I mean how large is their territory?

Then I saw it, the most beautiful castle that I have ever seen, standing tall and mighty in front of me, with its pillars that are made with marbles, it is colored with the shimmering gold color, the walls were tall and large, looming over my height.

Someone pushed me forward harshly and I growled at him for interrupting my awe struck moment and he growled back. We stood in front of the large gates, even their gate is tall and I feel like an ant.

Several guards stood at the front and the Beta talked with them in a different language before the gates automatically opened. I stood there, fascinated; their gate was an automatic one! I said in my head with astonishment.

‘You are acting as if you were from the freaking damn stone age’ Myr muttered but I ignored her.

We moved forward and at the front of the castle there stood two fountains that were flowing off with water, the castle is even larger up front, even larger than the first castle that I have entered.

We walked towards the entrance of the castle and they opened the tall, huge double doors revealing a beautiful room that had a large crystal chandelier hanging on top of it.

There is a stair that were split into two in a parallel position, the other going to the left and the other going to the right, the floor was also carpeted with the rich color of red, I was staring at the castle in amazement, I have never seen a place so beautiful and so picturesque, I could live here, I thought.

I was basically drooling all over the place when I heard a throat cleared up and I snapped my head at the man who had black raven hair as he smirked at me.

“This way please” he said sarcastically as he gestured his hand and ushered me into a darker and creepier hallway that leads to their cells.

They have also bounded my feet and arms, making it hard for me to move around. They pushed me into a dark room that was quite similar to the ones back in my old pack and the memories of my past traveled back again into my head, the fears and nightmare that always haunts me during my sleep, those nightmares always haunt me and I could never get it out of my head.

I

would always wake up with a shaking body, my eyes would frantically move side to side as if I was expecting my old pack members to pounce on me.

I know that I will never forget those memories; it will always be a part of me. Then I remembered, my bag, my bag has my necklace, the only living memory that I have with my family, I need to have my bag! It’s precious to me, so I got up and banged my fists to the door; thankfully they unchained both my feet and arms.

“Hey! Let me out! I need my bag that you are currently holding as captive!" I yelled out but my shouting was only met with silence and I was slowly getting irritated.

"Did anyone hear me?! I said open up! I didn’t even do anything wrong! I didn’t even enter your territory!” I said or more like shouted as I pounded my fists on the metal door.

“Shut up!” I heard a guard said in his cold voice, clearly showing his irritation at me, and then quickly a plan was formed in my mind, if I continue to irritate the guard then he will be forced to open the damn door and I will take this opportunity to get out.

“Hey! Open up! Did you hear me?! Did you even hear a single thing that I said?! I just need my bag! Hey?!” I banged my fists over and over.

“Open!” Bang “Up!” Bang “Open!” Bang “Up!” Bang “I said open-”

The door was opened to reveal a clearly pissed of guard that glared at me, I quickly pushed him forcefully as I made a run for it, I sprinted across the hallway trying to figure out a way out of this maze-like halls, the screams of the guards were heard as they barked up orders to find a and I quote “An irritating brat”. It’s not my fault they are short tempered.

I weaved my way into one of the rooms in the castle and closed the door softly. I let out a sigh of relief and closed my eyes and wiped the sweat from my forehead as I examined the room, the room was huge, it was like the size of a living room, it had a large king sized bed with a flat screen TV across the room and it even had those electronic fireplace, and at the side of the room there laid a celing to floor bookshelves filled with different kinds of books.

It also had couches and seats that were placed in an arranged manner, the wallpaper was in a gorgeous gold color with beautiful designs embedded on them. I stiffened when I heard movement and that is when I realized that there was someone sleeping on the bed.

I sniffed the room and the most intoxicating smell hit my senses with full force, never had I smelled something this addicting, not even the most delicious food can top this scent, it was so addicting, it smelt of newly cut grass mixed with the smell of the woods, it was pure bliss.

I moved towards the bed to see whose scent it belongs, I looked at him and my jaw almost dropped to the floor, he was gorgeous, beautiful, perfect.

No words could describe this beauty in front of me, he had soft brown hair that makes my fingers twitch, aching for me to touch and run them through his hair, he had a perfect and sharp jawline that can cut through anything. He looked so peaceful yet handsome at the same time as he slept.

I felt my heart beat faster than usual, I couldn't believe that I found my mate. I was radiating with happiness as I forgot about everything as I continue to stare at my mate.

I smiled at him before that smile faded and turned into a frown, a hand was wrapped around his waist that makes me feel so stupid for not noticing it earlier.

I almost whimpered at the sight before I put my hand on my mouth to stop me and my wolf from howling in pain and dejection. I felt the urge to cry as my heart felt like it was stabbed. I felt like I was falling from the tallest building, I felt like my heart was torn out from my chest and no matter what I do, I cannot do anything so stop the pain.

It had and still hurt, here I am seeing my mate for the first time and he was with another woman. I backed away from the bed and turned around not wanting so see the sight before me and before I break out. I walked towards the door and opened it, some of the tears that were forming fell and then they freely fall like a water fall as I wipe them away.

‘It’s going to be fine, we’re going to be fine’ Myr chanted this with sadness over and over again as if she was trying to assure me but I knew better than that, she was also assuring herself, this is not the way she had predicted on how she will find her mate, she had boasted to me that we will find our mate in the most romantic way possible, and now her dreams were crushed.

“You!” a guard shouted and I almost forgot that I was on the chase, I tried to run away but more guards came and blocked my only exit, I cursed at myself for being distracted, stupid mate, stupid guards, stupid Kingdom, stupid life! I cursed out internally to the Gods above.

The man who had black raven hair smirked at me, “Glad we found you, you have been a naughty girl” he says as he shook his head.

“Fuck you!” I yelled at him, my anger and sadness getting the best out of me, this was the first time that I had cursed this word and it felt foreign on my tongue, it hurts this much to be rejected. I growled at him when he tried to come closer, I snarled at the guards, as if I was insane, as if I was an uncontrollable beast and at this rate, I didn’t care.

The guards stood defensively as if they are waiting for me to attack them but I knew better, I was outnumbered. Then I smelled it again, that intoxicating scent that had hurt both my heart and mind.

“What’s going on in here?”
