Camilla's POV continues
I'm about to make an argument when I notice her gaze shift to something in the opposite direction. My feet move to be closer to her, her fear sinking into me as well. I follow her gaze, a set of owl eyes light up in the darkened forest. Another high pitched squeak comes through, startling both Mirabelle and I into each other, our chests colliding hard as stifled screams escape our lips.
I nod at her, “Okay, we'll leave. Where's your phone, we need a flashlight.”
Her eyes widened, alarm apparent in her gaze. That's enough of an answer for me, she doesn't have her cell phone with her.
Shrugging, I nod at her, hoping not to showcase any fear in my doing so but it's clear I've failed. Her gaze shifts to something over my shoulder and she gulps overwhelmingly. The manner in which her eyes widen and her throat bobs when she swallows worries me. I'm dreading the moment in which I see what has her frozen in place, not a nagging word escaping her parted lips. I slowly turn around, sucking in a breath as my eyes meet what rattled Belle.
A man is in front of us, two men, then three.
I stagger backwards, almost falling down but my feet secure their balance in good time. My hand stretches out, searching for Belle's hand and when it strokes mine, it's numb but instinctively intertwines with mine, pulling me closer. My hand squeezes hers and she understands that as 'get back' , I know this because when my feet begin to move back, hers follow in sync with mine, just as I intended when I clasped her hand. My body slams into a hard pillar, making me stagger forward along with Mirabelle. We both turn at the exact moment, meeting a familiar face and its minions.
Alpha Hayden.
My blood runs cold at the sight of him, for a man so handsome he's despicable, one look at him leaves spine chilling effects. Adrian has that effect and so does Ryan but Alpha Hayden, it's cold. Like you know evil when you see it, he is it. His face reminds me of someone who reminds me of something that took away a part of someone I love deeply.
“Leaving so soon?” someone asks beside Alpha Hayden, but I don't look at him, my gaze can't seem to move from his, it's stuck, glued onto him with fear.
Alpha Hayden grins, his eyes roaming over my body and I swear I feel naked despite all the clothing I'm wearing. “ What do we owe the pleasure? ”
My teeth jitter, my mouth unmoving and incapable of letting out the words I want to say. “We're just leaving,” Mirabelle lets out. I nod in response, yes that's that I wanted to say.
“Why though, it's not every day that we get a visit from Alpha Adrian's beautiful sister and lovely, truly lovely luna.”
“I am not his luna.” I counter, the words leaving my lips with ease and striking torment. I simply can not be addressed as his luna anymore, Adrian has rejected me too many times and this time, it was crystal clear to me, no blurred lines in the way he loathes me for something I didn't do and if I had done it, I still wouldn't justify the way he reacted to the situation. He seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity for so long, when someone is angry, they tell you things they've held in and I know this for a fact because when I'm upset I say mean things I regret but definitely mean them....half the time.
“Camilla,” Mirabelle whispers, her hand tightening around mine. The distress of her tone is evident from miles away and justified too, we're surrounded by men and women with their weapons aimed at us.
Alpha Hayden grins, the alarm clock in my head going wild alerting me of what I can only describe as my death right now. Mirabelle tugs on my hand, her feet trying to find a way out of this predicament with me but fails. My hand slips away from hers and a scream escapes my parted lips, watching her fall to the ground with an arrow in her arm, caressing her arm when she hits the ground. My gaze goes to the direction the arrow was shot from, left. A woman shot it, raising her bow and arrow once again, she gave me an apologetic look, the arrow flying to meet me. Everything seems to be moving in slow motion because I'm sure I could duck and miss the arrow but still, it hits me.
My body stings instantly, drowsiness overpowering me as my body plummets to the ground. I recognize the drug before it fully takes effect, I can see Mirabelle on the ground two feet away from me, I know she's alive, this drug doesn't kill but seeing her unmoving has me pained. I did this to her, she followed me here and now, we're both going to die. A tear runs down my cheek as I watch her, my eyes heavier by the second until I'm over powered by darkness.
