MAYA.
I knew, when I entered the room, that Emily was livid. The look on her face was more than enough to prove that. She looked like someone who had just been stung by an angry bee. I greeted but she didn’t say anything in response. That’s when I glanced behind me. I saw the guard walking out of the room.
“Look at me.” Emily commanded and I swerved my head back to face her. Something wasn’t right and my wolf was very restless.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m sorry, Emily.” I apologised before focusing back to face her.
“Why were you using a fake name and fake ID?” She demanded with a voice that was very shattered with frustration.
My heart jumped so high I felt it was going to come out of my throat. How was that possible? How did she know? Was it Alpha Orion? No, it couldn’t be! The confusion got worse and all I did was stare at her to understand what was happening.
“Excuse me? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She flashed me a disgusted look before a smirk replaced the disgust. Her eyes narrowed at me.
“Really? You think I don’t know you used a fake identity to try and get in here. I knew you were not a member of this Pack and something was off about you from the very first day. Now, you’re going to tell me the truth, Maya!” I felt my pulse rage erratically now. How the fuck did she know my real name.
This wasn’t happening! How was that even possible? My mind was filled with unanswered questions. She smirked again when she saw the confused look on my face. It seemed as if she enjoyed every bit of my reaction.
“This is the end for you. Your cover has been blown, and you’re going to pay for it, Omega Bitch!” She sneered. I staggered a few steps back, and that’s when I knew that it was surely Alpha Orion. There was nobody who could have told her about it apart from him.
He knew about me now and had gone about talking about it. But why would he do that and not want to have me apprehended. My thoughts were interrupted when I sensed a wavering but strong aura seep into my nostrils. I turned around immediately and that was the moment the door opened to reveal Alpha Orion’s figure standing in the doorway.
A very evil smile crept up his lips as he waved at me.
“Hi, Maya,” he greeted me so casually and walked towards me. His voice sent a jolt of shiver careening its way down my spine. What was happening? How did he know? I’d been tricked. I recoiled in shock at the sight of him and my instincts were now screaming at me ro run for my life.
“I knew it was you.” I growled at him. “It has always been you. You’re nothing but a traitor and I’m sure Venom will be glad to have you executed once I tell him what’s happening.” I growled again.
“Well, that is if you will even get out of this room.” He laughed before he turned to the guard and issued a command with a cold voice.
“Arrest her immediately and if she tries to do anything stupid, kick her until she keeps quiet.” He stepped to the side while Emily smiled from where she was watching.
“Don’t make this hard for yourself.” The guard warned as he got closer to me. He looked so menacing as he took out his knife. I slowly walked back towards, feeling the fear and anger rise.
“I won’t hesitate to hurt you if you try anything silly.” The guard warned again but I knew that wasn’t for me. I wasn’t going to listen to any of that. He made a move but before he could grab me, I dodged to the side and crashed on the table.
He began to brandish the sword and kept getting closer towards me. I didn’t want to hurt him. I just wanted to escape but that didn’t mean I wasn’t going to kill him if things got out of hand. There was no problem adding him to the number of people that I had dealt with in the past.
Alpha Orion wouldn’t be a problem because he was almost old now and wouldn’t be able to put up a fight. In fact, his occupation at the Pack as a member of the Council forbade that he fought, so it was ages since he tried any of that. The guard ran towards me in full tilt now and I had no other option than to retaliate.
I got on my knees and stuck out my foot. He lost his footing instantly and staggered before crashing with his face on the wall. He let out a groan before trying to get up but I swung my foot over his head and put him to sleep immediately.
“Call the guards!” Emily yelled in a high-pitched call. However, I was surprised when Alpha Orion made for me and grabbed me. His hands were so strong and despite trying to get away, I couldn’t. I growled and kicked him on the nose.
He let out a groan and left me instantly. Getting to the door, I locked it up and began running back to the quarters. Tianna had to know or we both would die. I was trying to contact her through the mindlink but it was closed.
“Fuck!” I cursed to myself and I ran faster and faster. Getting to the entrance, I slowed down and slowly walked past the guard to avoid making him suspect there was anything going on. I ran into our room and landed a heavy slap on her back. She jerked up instantly.
“Tianna, we are in danger. Emily found out and the guards have been alerted. We have to get out right now.” I yelled at her. She got up instantly as the sleep cleared out of her eyes. I grabbed my bag of supplies and my dagger before bolting out of the door.
She followed instantly and we ran down the hallway. But getting to the entrance, I got the shock of my life. It had been locked.
We were trapped!
