June's POV
I was curled up with no ventilation.
The air was hot, which made my skin produce a tremendous amount of salty-liquid I never knew I had in me.
I was suffocating. The more I stayed in, the more it became difficult to breathe. I don't know how long I'll be there. But I knew one thing:to leave Crystal Blue.
There's no safety for me in Crystal Blue or in any other pack.
Not when they are obsessed with turning weak she wolves like me into slaves or whatever they wanted us to be to satisfy their own ego.
Not when their Alpha's are ruthless, inconsiderate and fucking-monsters.
Shewolves like me won't survive long in any pack. We don't get to enjoy freedom because it's a luxury we couldn't afford.
An orphan and omega with no wolf. How worse could a life be? I was nothing more than trash to be used and disposed of.
I'd lost all hope my wolf would ever appear. I was seventeen and past the age of wolfing out.
The only option I had left was to accept my fate. I wouldn't be able to do that in any pack because they hate weakness. They see us as toys to be played with.
The only place I could live without worrying about werewolves and all their bull-shit was in a human town. And that's where I was headed. A place no werewolf dared to go. No one would find me there.
I planned to blend in with the life there and live like other human girls. Since I didn't have a wolf, it would be easy to live amongst them.
I had nothing to lose anyway. I was alone. No family. No wolf. No pack. Just me. I was going to start my life over again. This time I was the one in charge.
I imagined how it would be. A life no one had power over. I would do whatever I love. Live the way I wanted. Be what I wanted.
A smile kissed my face as I imagined several things I'd do when I got to Cali.
Suddenly, I heard tires screeching, and the car halted.
My heart jumped. I didn't know why I had a bad feeling about this. I had no idea where we were but I knew we wouldn't be at Cali. It hasn't been long since we left the house.
I couldn't check. I couldn't risk exposing myself so I stayed put. Hoping the car would start soon. But It was becoming more discomforting in the trunk. I was running out of patience. I wondered what had happened.
Soon the car began to move, and you would think I was relieved. But I wasn't.
Adrenaline coursed through my body as I imagined the worst happening. Being caught and the events that would happen after.
Different scenarios played in my mind and each of them ended in the most horrible way I could think of.
I felt the car stop again and my heart nudged as I began to hear voices. They weren't clear, but soon it turned into a brief argument between the young couple in whose trunk I was and some people I didn't know.
Soon, I heard footsteps approaching the trunk. My heart raced faster. I didn't know what was wrong but I knew it was time to leave the trunk so I rolled into the passenger seat of the car.
I was able to stop the little girls on time from screaming. They were scared but somehow they trusted me. They understood that the people outside were looking for me and they were the bad guys.
They hid me inside the little space under their seat and covered it with a blanket. I smirked. These girls were little but they were smart.
Something else struck me about them. Their resemblance. They weren't just sisters. They were twins. Identical twins. Just like Jossy and I but their lives were much better.
I was too agitated to cry over my bad history. My concern was to leave the werewolf territory as fast as I could. That's the only way I'd be safe.
I heard the car trunk open and I thanked the goddess that I wasn't there.
"See, there's no one." The twins' father spoke.
"There's a runaway shewolf in your car." Said a cold menacing voice. This voice sent chill shivers down my bones.
"What? Alpha, you know me. You know that I leave for Cali every Saturday with my family to visit my parents. No one is in there, just my girls."
"I know you, sir. But I am afraid you have a shewolf we want. She is in your car and we want to take her with us." I freezed, goosebumps crowded my skin.
"Come on girls, step out for a moment." The twins' father told his daughters. The twins seemed to refuse because they didn't move an inch.
"Hey. Disney. Diane. Come over here." A feminine voice called louder, the girls hesitated for a while but did as they were told.
My heart thumped faster as I prayed that these people wouldn't find me. I wondered what I had with Alphas. Why they wouldn't let me go. I hated them. All Alphas were beasts.
Even when I was yet to meet one, they made my life miserable. What would happen when I eventually meet this one? One thing was sure. My life would be an irreparable mess.
Only if I had the power to fight—Even if I had a wolf and strength I wouldn't be able to defeat an Alpha.
My heart ached as the thought of what he'll do to me swirled in the front of my mind. I'd never heard of any shewolf who survived their Alpha's knot. I was doomed. I'd always been doomed. I just didn't accept it.
I thought I could change my fate and become a human. I guess Madame's words were true. I could never change my fate.
"I know you can hear me, little she wolf. These couples here are innocent. But if you don't come out, whatever happens to this beautiful family would be your fault." His emphasis on each word told me he meant every sentence he said.
I heard the woman gasp at the man's statement and my heart pricked.
They were a beautiful family. One I'd longed for. The twins protected me. I wouldn't let my bad life ruin theirs.
At that moment, I knew my escape plan had been destroyed. I knew warriors had surrounded the car and there was no running for me anymore. I had been caught. Again.
What troubled me most was what these people had in mind to do to me. What my life would be like when they apprehended me. I was certain about one thing. It would never be pleasant.
I wouldn't let my life be a mess. Even if I died trying.
I stepped out of the car shakily. The couple gasped in shock. Their wide opened eyes stared unbelievably at me.
"Good girl. We should leave now." The owner of the baritone voice spoke, causing my attention to flung to him and I couldn't help but admire his gorgeous physique.
Other eyes were on me, but his, was on a different level. His presence caused another wave of goosebumps to grace my skin and sent cold shivers down to my bones. In that instant, I knew he was the Alpha and my heart throbbed faster.
"Hold on. We can't leave now." The words fell out of my mouth voluntarily.
"And why is that?" The Alpha asked, sounding upset.
"The couple and kids. They have to go first. I need to be sure they leave here safely before I come with you." I stated, not knowing how I got the boldness.
"Before you come with us?" The Alpha scoffed, and his men laughed.
I knew I couldn't stand a chance against them. They could force me into their car and do whatever they wanted with me. But I didn't mind. I had my own plans but first they must let this couple go.
The Alpha's cold eyes darted to the man and his family, signalling them to leave. They quickly rattled into their car and drove off. I sensed the twins stare on me. I smiled in my heart. They had the life I wanted for me and Jossy.
Atleast, I knew it was possible. That life was possible. But I and Jossy weren't lucky enough.
"They are gone. What next?" The Alpha asked mockingly.
My eyes looked deep into his, almost freezing at his gaze. What next? I scoffed in my heart.
While I stood in the midst of the well abled men. My eyes studied my environment. There were woods on both sides of the roads.
I chose to run to the right even though I didn't know what was waiting for me there. The only thing I was sure of was to save myself from these men.
The Alpha and another man that had the same aura as him. Although not as powerful as his, they walked to an expensive-looking black hunched car, while the three other men led me to another black car and the remaining men went into their own cars.
"Aarghh." I screamed aloud as they walked me to the car, clutching my chest tightly as I stooped down slowly.
"Aaargh." I screamed again, this time louder as if the pain became more intense. I could sense the confusion in the faces of the men around me.
"Hey what's wrong with her?" One of them asked from afar.
"I don't know." The one behind me answered. They were distracted giving me the opportunity I wanted.
"Help her into" I kicked the one behind me with all my strength, making sure my leg hit hard between his thighs, and dashed into the woods in the same second as he screamed in pain.
