Chapter 5 Five

Karina’s POV

Two years gone and it still feels like it all happened just yesterday. From being the most weakest wolf to being one of the most powerful amongst the rogues.

I was mocked, betrayed, set aside like a nobody. Everyday I feel grateful for leaving and not looking back. Though it felt like a nightmare leaving, it wasn’t exactly my intention of escaping that far, I had unknowingly gotten myself lost in the wilderness known for feral wolves. Just when I thought I was never going to make it alive that same electric blue eyes saved me. It attacked each feral wolves like it was nothing, even scaring a few off

When it was done, it turned towards me, its fur deeply black with his eyes unnaturally blue. I had never see such a wolf, he was huge with long deadly fangs

I had no idea which I should fear the most, the feral wolves of it.

He let out a low growl as he slowly approaches me while I slowly backed away, “no please… don’t “ I begged, tears running down my eyes uncontrollably

Without thinking twice I made a run for it, I had no idea where I was going but I knew I had to get away from it. Even though it had saved me I still had no idea what it intention was

I could hear it getting closer to me each second and I could only curse myself out for being slow. Not once in my life have I ever ran or had self defense practice which meant I was definitely going to be killed .

Suddenly a tree appear from nowhere as i collide into it, i fell backwards to the ground hitting my head hard against a rock, a shock of pain resonating through my skull. I immediately clutch the back of my head then I felt a cold liquid on my palm

Blood

Just when I was about panicking, the wolf appears before me, his eyes suddenly gets darker as he closes up to me. This time my whole body was shutting down and I could barely see under the moon light.

“Please…don’t” I whisper as I close my eyes for a second trying to fight consciousness

I forced my lids open and I was immediately surprised to see a man hovering shirtless over me, the familiar blue eyes staring worriedly at me

“Relax…I’ve got you “ he says softly and for so reason it felt like I could trust him so I did, I let myself get engulfed by the darkness as I feel myself get lifted

—

“Why did you bring her here!!”

“What if she’s being followed? I don’t trust her”

“Well, did you expect me to just leave her as food for the wolves ?!”

I twitched as two unfamiliar voices keep going at each other. Slowly I open my eyes which was immediately greeted by a bright light.

After a while of adjusting to the light, I took in my environment. I was in a hospital room, my dress gone now replaced with an hospital gown.

Quickly I sit up as realisation sets on me. The wolf that had saved me, it was a man

“Hey….slowly, you don’t want to lose consciousness again “ the voices coos as a little heard ache forms in my head

“Here have a glass of water” he says, handing me the glass which I took and downed the whole liquid

This calmed me a bit giving me the opportunity to finally take notice of the people before me.The person who had given me the glass was a brown haired man with a charming smile

Then my eyes moved over to the other man stood at the bed end with his strong arms folded over his chest. His piercing blue eyes staring hard at me .

It was him

“You were the wolf who saved me “ I muttered under my breath as I stared at him.

There was something so fascinating about this man, his features were hard and threatening but he had this controlled, soft aura about him that just makes me curious.

“How are you feeling now” his questions, his arms still over his chest

“I’m better now “ I muttered, feeling a bit shy under both men gaze

Then it struck to me, I had no idea how long I’ve been gone for, everyone would be so worried about me

Everyone ?

Ofcourse I had completely forgotten who I was. I was no one and I’m certain they are all glad I was gone. Chase wouldn’t even bother searching for me, especially not after what had happened to Ashley

“Won’t you ask how long you were out for ?” The brown haired man says making me look up to him

“Uhm yeah, how long” I asked, not like it mattered, I had no where to go and no one looking for me

“You were out for a week…I mean we were quite worried you wouldn’t pull through. You know at first I was surprised Kole brought it a woman—“

“That’s enough Peter, you can leave now “ he cuts him mid ramble with a little from

Peter looked between both of us then nodded his head and excused himself, leaving just Kole and myself

It was a bit awkward as he still stood at the same spot staring deeply at me like he was trying to read my mind

“I’m so sorry for the inconvenience,I’m going to leave—“

“Who are you ? And what were you doing in such a dangerous place by such time “ he suddenly questions now moving closer to me

My words gets stuck in my throat as I contemplate on telling him who I was. I still have no idea where I am or who he is

“If you’re worried about who I am then you should know I’m the leader of the rogue pack and I will do anything to protect my pack especially from a lady who might look helpless “ he reveals, his features hardening

My heart drops at this revelation, somehow I had gotten myself entangled with one of our pack worst enemy, the rogues.

And if he finds out I’m the Luna of the Silver fang pack, he won’t hesitate in killing me

“Now I think it’s best you tell me who you are, what pack you belong to and why you were out in the woods” he presses

“I’m no one, I mean…I don’t belong to any pack, I’m just a wanderer” I lied, looking down at my fidgeting fingers while I pray hard he doesn’t catch up with my lies

The room goes silent for a second as my heart beat picks up in anticipation

“You know I can clearly tell you are lying through your rapid heart beat and I’m not stupid not to tell you are a noble blood. Aside from your dress and jewellery” he points out, leaning back on his chair as he stares deep into my soul

“Your scent is fresh, your blood is pure. You are no wanderer but a noble. All I just need to know is from what pack you are from and sincerely if I were you I wouldn’t lie cause that alone would set in you much more danger” he points outs, his eyes giving me a warning sign

I took in a sharp breath, summoning every little courage I had to look him back in the eyes and speak my truth

“My name is karina, the Luna of Silverfang” I declared

“Well I used to be, until I was betrayed and replaced. I was set out to be imprisoned but I ran away in fear. Now I have no where to go so I belong to no pack!” I confessed, my eyes stinging of unshed tears

I immediately pushed it back in before it could fall, I refuse to break down in front of him.

He stares at me for a moment like he was trying to tell him if I was speaking the truth or now

“Now you belong to my pack” he suddenly blurts out, our eyes locked as sparks flew around.

“Wait what ?”
