In safe hands
RENEE'S POV
I walked as quietly as I could, avoiding leaves, twigs anything until I heard something snap and I turned effectively not seeing the tree root that I've now tripped over. Believe me if I wasn't in a life or death situation I'd laugh.
You smell it? My wolf asked, but instead of answering I sniffed. Another wolves we're close again and I knew it was only a matter of time before they catch my scent. I had successfully ran away from the pack where I killed the old beta but again I wasn't safe. I was still a rogue in the pack, I was passing through.
got up and ran, but my legs burned and felt like jello. "I can't run anymore", I whimpered in defeat. I almost felt the urge to scream when a big brown wolf who I could tell was their Alpha stalked forward, growling.
I decided that if it was my time it was my time. I watched him, frozen in my spot. Another wolf joined him, he was lighter in color but almost as big. The new wolf stayed while the Alpha went behind a tree and came back out wearing shorts. I had to admit he was handsome, younger than I had thought. But a part of me still thought Bane was better even though he rejected me.
"Who are you?" He demanded his voice rough.
I stared, "I...I um..." I didn't realize the other had shifted until he spoke.
"My Alpha asked you a question rouge!" He said coldly.
I flinched, "m-my names Re..Renee.." I said in a low voice but this time, I said my real name.
The Alpha's face seemed to soften a bit, "and what are you doing in my territory?"
I don't know where the new found confidence came from. "I was just passing through."
His lip twitched, he slowly looked me over. "What is a female so small doing out here alone? What happened to your pack?" He asked curious.
I bit my lip, "I left..."
The other wolf growled, "so now we will have more wolves in our territory looking for you!" He stated with a low growl.
I shook my head frantically, "they won't... I.... they don't care..." I said in hopes they'd just let me pass. "Please I only wish to pass, I don't want any trouble and I mean no harm..."
The Alpha seemed to consider this, "you will come with us."
I stared in shock, "w-why?" I asked confused. I didn’t want to be tortured like i was in the previous pack.
He chuckled, "Your young, you not safe. And you won't last long as a rogue."
I suddenly felt dizzy, lack of food and all the running finally caught up. I shake my head hoping to clear it but it makes it worse. I almost wanted to laugh, I left because I wanted to live. To go somewhere I'd be happy but fate seemed to have other plans for me. I at least wont die at the hands of the pack i ran from... the real ruthless Alpha.
"P-please I just..... want to pa...ss" I said before darkness covered me.
By the time I came back to reality, I could hear voices talking around me. And for a moment I stayed still as if I was still asleep as I listened.
"What do you mean abused?!" The voice whispered/ yelled. I remembered the voice and wondered why the Alpha was here?
"She has malnutrition, dehydrated, and.. she has scars that well suggest that this has been going on for years. She has fresh bruises along with older ones.. Someone, or many have used this poor girl as a punching bag." A soft voice explained. I mentally flinched.
Of course I was malnourished and stuff. I get scraps and sometimes I don't even get that. Hah. Its amazing my body hasn't just given up by now. I used to say to myself 'just hold out until I find my mate.' But now, I dont even care.
The growl threw me off, "so this is why she's now rouge." He connects it. "She's too young." I can hear saddnes in his voice and it's confusing. Why would this stranger feel sad for me? Ha, this is stupid. I decide it's best to get this over with, I open my eyes and then groan as the light blinds me. I instantly feel soft hands on my face. I flinch from habit, plus my face is still sore from the beta hitting me.
"Easy child, your safe.." the soft voice speaks, I open my eyes slowly this time and see the most beautiful woman staring at me. Her face is a mask of concern and worry. I look over and see the Alpha and I lower my eyes automatically.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." The Alphas voice chimes in, softly.
"W-what am I doing here?" I stutter.
"You passed out from being weakened. We couldn't leave you there or else you may not have survived.." he explains slowly.
I shake my head, "I meant in a bed.." uncounciously I move my hand over the soft material. I don't hear anything so I take a chance to look up, and the womans eyes are glossy almost as if she's about to cry and the Alpha looks saddened but also there's an underline of fury in his eyes. I'm confused and it must show since the woman speaks up.
"Where else would you be child?" She whispered.
I shrug, "the cells? Dead? The floor?" The bed I had wasn't comfortable, and it wasn't as high up as this one. This one would be perfect for just waking up and hanging you legs over. Mine, had been on the floor and dirty.
I hear her gasp and the Alpha growl, and I cringe. Fearing that I'd just angered them and I close my eyes waiting.
"Look at me, Renee is it?" The woman speaks and I slowly open my eyes.
"We aren't going to hurt you. We only wish to help. Your so young and... you've been through so much.." she pauses and my eyes widen. This time I was lucky.
