“She's all yours now. Do whatever you want with her.”
I curled up on the ground, listening as the man in front of me, Alex, the Beta of the Litha Night Walker Pack, gave his final orders to the Scamp.
"You’ll experience the same pain and humiliations my sister Aura experienced," he said, looking at me with a dark intensity, his tone tinged with a hint of bloodthirsty emotion.
“Aura, my little sister, was a sweet girl. She's never been to a pub or entered the Scamp Forest alone. But now she was found ra*ed and murdered there. Your mate, Alpha Ainsley, and I went through Aura's phone, and we found out that right before the accident, you called her. The last message on her phone was to you. Where were you, Eloise?” As Alex stared at me, his eyes were filled with hatred and killing intent.
“Alex, I am in need of your attention. I am not responsible for the death of Aura. I have an important message to convey to Alpha Ainsley. Please listen to me.” I pleaded and he looked at me with a mocking smile.
“Shut up! You have no right to speak his name!” He loomed over me, his gaze making me feel like I was nothing but trash. Behind him, five Scamps were shining with excitement, their eyes fixed on me as if they had found their prey. I knew I had to fight for my life, or I would be torn apart the second Alex left. “My father is the Alpha of the Golden moon Pack and I'm only here to see Alpha Ainsley. Are you trying to break the peace between the packs?” I shouted behind him, but he looked at me and scoffed.
“You fuc*ing bi*ch, you're stupid! Don't you realize that you're Alpha Ainsley's mate and that he can sense that you're here and also in danger? My innocent sister, You got her killed just because you were jealous of Alpha Ainsley's love for her. Listen Eloise Alpha Ainsley wants to kill you more than I do!” He turned back towards his home without even glancing at me, leaving me alone in the woods. The five Scamps no longer held back, rushing towards me, tearing my clothes apart. As the daughter of the Alpha of the Golden moon Pack, I have always received excellent combat training. Normally, five Scamps wouldn't pose much of a threat to me. However, after three days and nights of torture without food or water, I was completely weak and didn't have the strength to fight them off. I fought with all my might against the five Scamps, yearning for my mate, Alpha Ainsley, to sense the danger I was in and to rescue me. But he didn't show up. At that moment, I couldn't help but wonder if everything was truly orchestrated by my mate. Was he incapable of killing me himself, so did he send others to humiliate me?
“Ah!”
My vision was becoming increasingly blurry, my body engulfed in unbearable pain. It felt as if my feet were heavy as stones, becoming impossible to lift. At that moment, one of the Scamps grabbed my wrist, his jagged, untrimmed nails digging deep into my flesh, drawing a long line of blood from my wrist. Before I could react, another rough, calloused hand squeezed my neck tightly. A Scamp grabbed me from behind, holding me firmly and immobilizing me. Hot breath sprayed the main artery in my neck.
I knew the enemy's fangs were dangerously close to my most vulnerable spot. The third Renegade stepped forward and grabbed my legs, pulling hard. I was stretched out on the ground, my legs spread wide by them. They had lustful smiles on their faces. I struggled desperately, but I was weak, and with each attempt to break free, the Renegade's nails stuck on my wrist deeper.
The fourth Scamp couldn't wait any longer and quickly pulled off his pants, exposing his grotesque manhood in front of me. As my legs were held by two more Scamps, he approached me, moistening his disgusting erection with saliva before moving towards my lower body. I gave up my last fight with a bitter smile.
Aura, you were dead and I became a killer… - I don't know how you died, but evidently, you were luckier than me. Your brother loved you, and Ainsley loved you too…
The world before my eyes plunged into darkness, and I felt the nauseating breath of the Scamp approaching. Just as the Renegade touched my skin, I suddenly felt the strength drain from my neck, wrists, and legs. They all released their hold on me, and I lay sprawled on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
It wasn't until I heard a set of footsteps… They were firm and merciless, like the strikes of a death knell. Then, I smelled the most pleasant scent in the air. I recognized it immediately. Then, a pair of black leather ankle boots appeared before my eyes. It had been raining all day, but there was not a hint of dirt on this pair of boots. I immediately recognized who it was, Alpha Ainsley, my mate.
My mind went blank with a single question on my mind is that Death or my salvation approaching?
Ainsley's POV
“Get away from me”
These were the sound I heard as I stood on the watchtower of the Pack House staring into the distance. This is where the guards patrol to watch the borders, allowing a view of all the boundaries of the Litha Night Walker Pack, including the Forest of Shadows. I couldn't tell how long I had been standing there.
