Jordan POV.
This alpha must be full-on crazy, there’s no hope for crazy people like him, he got a rogue here to fight me, a rogue, from the words of Micah, I now understood it’s not the first time he did something like that, I’ve fought rogues before, not that I enjoyed it, the last rogue I fought, it left me hollow on the inside, but this one was different, this wolf wasn’t sane, he’s feral, only god knows how bad he’s been hurt and injured until he went like this, and how he ended up in Alpha’s blade hands.
The animal was feral, he wanted to kill me, trying to end me, seeing me as the enemy, I wanted to shift to be able to protect myself, but the animal wasn’t giving me a chance to shift, I tried to run away from him, to give myself a chance to shift, but the animal was crazy with blood lust. The ring was now closed, locking me in with the feral animal, I jumped out of his way again, falling down on my injured thigh, although it healed, it still ached when I fell over it, I need to shift quickly, it only took me a second to change from my human to my wolf form, but I was attacked in that second.
The animal teeth sunk into my flank, it’s my mistake, I was in a vulnerable place while shifting, I gave the animal a chance to hurt me, I growled and pushed him off me, we rolled over on the ground, I could hear other screams from the outside but I couldn’t focus or know what’s the word that are said. The animal’s smell was disgusting, like rotten flesh that need to be buried down in the ground, I could also feel bones under the weak muscles, but the blood lust was powering his attack, ferals would fight until they die.
He went to my neck again, but I’m stronger than him, I’m more dominant than the feral animal, wolves with pack are always stronger, back home I was the strongest after my siblings, by the time I left I felt even more dominant, I felt the need to fight with my brother Jacob and anyone else.
I tried to push my aura over him, I can’t connect to him, there’s no wolf left in him for me to connect to him, but my aura was enough to get him distracted, his eyes were searching for something he lost, he was in a vulnerable space, I should attack him now and kill him, put him out of his misery, but I couldn’t, I froze. All I could think about was the same empty feeling I felt back at home when I killed the rogue, the feeling I felt then, the void it caused me.
“Good job boy, now it’s time to go for the neck,” I heard alpha Blade voice say, go for the neck, go for the kill, but I couldn’t do it, I’m not a monster, he’s going to make me one.
“Faster, before he ends you,” alpha blade says, but that was the end of my patience with him.
“I’m not a monster,” I yell trying to keep my aura held in place, trying to hold the animal in place, but my concentration was starting to slip.
“You’re better than the rest of us? Is that it? You were sent to train, now do your training or get kicked out,” the alpha threatens me, I couldn’t get kicked out, what about Micah, would he be okay with leaving with me. I looked back at the animal at the feral soul, if I killed him now, I won’t be a monster, I would be doing him a favor, I’d be saving him from any more pain, from this cold world. The animal took advantage of my internal monologue, of me being too distracted to keep on my strong aura, he slipped away, or maybe he managed to overcome the emotions.
He attacked me, he went straight to my neck, I didn’t have enough time to fight him back, he was going to win, I didn’t have anyone with me to keep me safe, I’m going to die before I managed to get Micah, before I could claim him as mine. I was fighting, but the animal was even more animalstic now, he’s furious at me for forcing my aura over him, and now he’s going to have his revenge.
I was sure I’m going to die now, until the weight of the rogue was taken off me, the awful scent of the rotten meat was gone, I looked to see who had saved me, another wolf, one that’s so blond, he’s almost white, a wolf that my wolf felt connected to, felt the pull toward, one that I wanted to hide behind me, the small wolf belonged to me, it’s Micah.
Underneath the small blond wolf, was the rogue, the dead rogue, Micah was stronger than me, he didn’t mind killing the rogue, unlike me, he didn’t hesitate, eh went in to protect me, while I was the dominant one, the one who’s supposed to be in charge, I felt like a shitty dom now.
“Micah,” the alpha growls the name in a low voice, Micah turned back to him, he was breathing heavily, he shifted back to his human self, standing there with his head low, avoiding everyone’s eyes.
“He belongs to another pack father, his brother and mother would start war,” Micah says, his whole body tense, the alpha only nods his head, turning to the rest fo the pack.
Micah walked away from the rest, I followed him in my wolf form, my head low, I should’ve kept him safe, not the other way around, we kept walking until Micah turned to me, he had tears in his eyes, I couldn’t see him like that, I shifted right away, pulling him toward my chest.
“Micah…” I say, I didn’t know if I should thank him, be angry at him or be angry at myself.
“I had to keep you safe, I’m not a monster,” Micah says his voice shaking.
“You’d never be a monster Micah,” I assure him, this place is tearing us apart, this place is driving our love apart, this place would be the end of us.
“Micah…” I say we should do this, we can’t stay here, “Micah, run away with me,” I tell my mate, my pack would be able to keep us safe, I’d treat him like my princess.
“Let’s go,” Micah agrees with me right away, we both knew this place isn’t good for us.
