Chapter Fifteen

What is going on here? Why would he save me of all people, he hated me. “Why are you doing this?” I asked Luther, but instead of him telling me anything he dragged me away from where I was placed, into his mansion.

“Where are you taking me?” I said, but I got no response as he continued to drag me all the way into the deep parts of the building until he got to a door opened it, and threw me inside “You don't leave here until I say you should, or until you see me. This is for your own sake.” He said, as he closed the door and left.

Everything that happened felt strange to me but he saved my life. It was the best surprise that could have happened to me. I sat there and waited for Luther to come back, while I prayed for my own safety.

LUTHER'S POV

I acted based on my instincts and now I couldn't even figure out what to do anymore, I could hear the noise and the anger of everyone outside, waiting for me to explain my decisions to them, but there was no explanation to give, I had already lost my pride and my worth through what I just did.

My pack is the most dangerous pack and I have nurtured them carefully with the belief that I was the utmost ruler, I ruled them with fear and that was why I got the respect that I got and they believed in my decisions because of the fear I propagated, so what could I do after disrespecting myself and breaking the rules I set out for myself. There has to be something I can do.

I peeped outside and I saw them waiting ready to fight, the anger boiling in their blood, their violent nature I had suppressed waiting to come out and break all bounds. I figured out I was bound to die if I went outside to meet and try to talk.

There was only one way out of this mess I got myself into. I ran back to where I had kept her “Let's go now.” I shouted as I dragged her out and we moved out through the back of the mansion and headed out through the secret passage.

And we stowed away quietly without anyone knowing, “Why are you doing all of this?* She asked, “Shut up and don't talk until we get so far away from here.” I said, and we continued talking, I was a coward, I created trouble and ran away from it. That wasn't the kind of person they had believed I was, every one of them trusted me, they believed in me and I betrayed and left them hanging with a question I couldn't answer myself. After walking for about three hours navigating the forest that bordered the lands I used to lead, funny how it all became past in a matter of moments.

We left the bloody moon's pack territory and headed for a destination we didn't know, this is where fate led us and we kept on moving.

After walking tirelessly for hours, the night came and we got to a cave where we could rest our heads, it wasn't deep and the entrance was just outside. The moon shines brightly in the sky, leaving its warm signs on everything its beautiful light reflected on. I was tired, I wanted to shed my skin and howl at the moon effortlessly but I got so tired that I slept off very easily.

The first time before becoming the mighty man I was I had slept somewhere else other than a proper shelter. My back was awfully painful and I woke up with a bad headache. I looked by my side and she was still sleeping. I stood up and headed for the forest in search of what to eat before we continued our journey.

I hunted animals but it was for leisure. I never thought there would be a day when I would hunt for survival and feel down because I couldn't lay my head in the proper place where I should. It made me remember the days when I struggled for money, the kind of torment I went through before I got true strength and became a man who could make things happen for people and for himself.

I was so deep in thought that I had forgotten that I was supposed to be hunting. After getting there I went back to the cafe where she still slept like a baby. I looked at her face and she's never been so beautiful. “Is this how she's always been!?” It was not normal for me to act that way, that's why I thought to myself that I had to decipher what was going on with me before it destroyed everything I had labored for.

We finished eating and we set out for the journey again. We walked far away from the Blood Moon pack and I was sure even if they tried to get people to trail us they would never get to us ever again, “thank you.” She sJd, with a lot of shyness, she really looked innocent and charming, she was just a product of bad luck, but how can a person have so much bad luck, that's left for her to find out, but somehow I got into this mess too.

I had to find a way out on my own, I didn't know why I did it but now there's no turning back. We continued on our journey to find a new place we could stay and ultimately avoid the wrath of the goddess and we kept on moving in the direction we didn't understand.

We kept on walking for five days and nights, eating what the world sent us and taking in whatever came our way. But the universe has a way of repaying kindness, after all our fruitless walking, “Who are you?” Someone said.
