Death Wolf Saga
Death Wolf Chapter 18

She walks down the halls, holding the walls. Unable to walk properly.

Her body frail and tired. Hunger aggravating her condition further.

She sees the celebrations going on in full swing downstairs, with staff running around decorating and preparing.

Today was the day.

Her mate was going to select someone else, rejecting her.When just last night he has mated her.

Opening her hair, tied in a bun above her head. She uses it to cover her neck and shoulders, hiding the evidence of her being claimed by the King.

A shaky breath leaving her lips as she feels her vision going hazy. She was too weak.

But if someone is to notice her and see her like this. They will point more fingers at her.

No ..she can’t let that happen.

Gulping, she looks down at her attire. Before leaving his room, she managed to get his white shirt. It almost reached her mid thigh.

But she was all naked below it, making her rub her legs.

Sneaking in through the back stairs,she manages to reach her room unnoticed. Picking up a big hoodie and baggy lowers…she gets dressed in them.

Running out into the back lawn where anyone rarely comes.

The most peaceful place in the pack house.

Determined to stay here and rest till the evening .

Going further to the end of the lawn, she settles herself down, almost at the edge where the forest begins.

Folding her arms on her legs, she lays down. Feeling safe in the corner where no one will notice her.

The bushes almost covered her and the shade, felt cooling and refreshing.

Remembering the piece of loaf she has stolen. She takes it out and takes a bite of it. Tears streaming down her eyes,as she remembers the words he last said.

“Atleast a bit** is better than a who** like you.”

Tears stream down her eyes and she takes another bite, hearing her stomach grumbling and she holds it. Something rising in her throat.

She starts feeling uneasy, gagging and vomits out the bread she has just eaten. Her hands tightly holding the tree bark,as she gags again. Throwing out the bile accumulated in her stomach because of skipping meals yesterday.

“Darn it. I feel so gross.”

She says stepping back from the mess. Trying to find water. To see a tap running in a corner of the lawn. Using it, she rinses her mouth and washes her face.

When a sharp pain hits her forehead again.

The world started spinning and she sits down. To only have everything go blank.

Darkness welcoming her.

………

Volkan pov

I come back from the run. After letting out all the heat and frustration.

Entering my room and slamming it shut behind me.

My eyes stop at the white sheets of our bed.

They were still creased and entangled from out last night’s s*x and I couldn’t help, slam my fist on the wall.

How can I forget my limits?

How can I sleep with that weak girl!!

What was wrong with me?

The spotless white sheets, make my rage to aggravate further. I was not the first one.

She has done it before with someone else.

The very image of her body intangled with someone else.Made me go mad. Uprooting the matress,I throw it. Kicking the furniture and creating a mess.

I finally stop.

Seeing the room in a condition similar to mine. Broken ,chaotic,ruined.

The ticking clock wall, the only sound audible.

I lean against the wall and slide down. Holding my head in my hands.

The visions from last night, of her below me moaning my name. Giving me permission to fuc* her. Her body shivering under my touch, her legs trembling as she-

Fuc*!

Stop Volkan stop! You are going to select another mate today.

That girl is to be rejected today.

Why are you still thinking about her?

Looking around,I stare at the mess I have created.

This shouldn’t be like this….I shouldn’t have mated with her. But I guess this is the reality now.

The earlier I accept it, the better it is.

I stand in front of the mirror. Splashing some water on my face. Her eyes again flashing in front of me, making me hold the counter.

How is she doing? Can she walk now? She looked so pale in the morning.

I was too rough with her.

Fuc*

“Jason”

I call through my mindlink. To hear him reply immediately.

“Yes Alpha.”

“The girl. Thora. Can you check on her once?”

“Hmm I am busy with -“

I already knew he was busy fuc*** with someone. Stopping him, I use my Alpha tone.

“Right now Jason. No excuses”

He sighs in irritation. All grumpy.

“Fine. I will check once. Since when did you started caring for her anyways?”

“Just do what I say.”

“Fine! Fine! I am going now.”

Looking back at the mirror, I stare at my grey eyes one last time. Before storming out.

I have a lot to do.

After all I was going to choose my future Queen today.

My wolf as excited as me. However we both can’t lie, that even if it was for a few seconds.

We were concerned of the girl who we are going to reject today.

But this was the reality of life.

The stronger survive and rise. While the weak , struggle their entire life, trying to break free of the clutches to only land back from where they started.

.

.

.

It’s been 2 hours. I was adjusting my tuxedo, looking in the mirror. With my mind restless.

He still hasn’t found her. I wonder where she went.

“I am sorry Alpha. I searched everywhere.”

“Even the petrol hasn’t seen her. Meaning she didn’t cross the borders.”

“There where the fuc* is she Jason? She can’t vanish in thin air. Can she?”

“I will check again Alpha.”

“No. Leave it.You attend the guests. I will take care of this.”

“Are you sure? “

“Yes. This stupid girl has to get on my nerves today also.”

Ending the mindlink, I walk down to see everyone bowing. Wishing me,and I barely nod in acknowledgement

One of the guards approaches.

“Alpha King. The guests are here. They have been waiting for you.”

“You go. I have informed Beta Jason to take care.”

He nods leaving. And I take the back door. Avoiding the guests.

Trying to get a whiff of her scent. Walking around almost the entire house, to find nothing.

DAMMIT! Where are you Thora?

Something started rising in my chest and I was getting desperate. Where can she go? Where can she go?

Her room…no it has been checked.

Forest…no she knows it’s too dangerous.

Kitchen? No, she is absent from duty today.

Frustrated, I walk towards the balcony. Trying to get some fresh air.

My hands resting on the railing, to see it was almost evening now.

Why am I so concerned about her?

Because you are gulity for last night.

My wolf says, and I roll my eyes.

She was the one who gave me permission. What do I have to be guilty about?

I try to reason out, convincing no one but myself.

And that’s when I feel cold breeze brush past my face and I still.

It’s mild but it’s there.

Her cherry blossom scent….I can distinguish it from all others anywhere.

I look down to see the lawn… it’s mostly empty. Anyone rarely comes here…and that’s when I see a figure laying in a corner.

My eyes widen and I rush down.

Ignoring everyone wishing me on my way downstairs.

Almost missing a few steps.

Rushing towards the bushes, I still. My footsteps slowing down.

I gulp moving closer to see a hooded figure laying in a corner, balled in a cocoon.A hand laying limp near the persons head…the same hand I held last night…the marks on her wrist…a reminder of my insanity last night.

“Thora?”

I say, rushing forward and rolling the body over. To see the eyes,I dreamed last night closed on me. An awful stink coming from the place.

“Hey?”

I say, placing my hand on her cheek. To see her burning. Her face red…with sun tan. How long has she been passed out here ?

I locate the source of the obnoxious smell to she she has vomited.

My eyes stop at a piece of stale bread laying near her and I wonder if this is what she has been eating.

“Hey? Thora? Get up”

I say tapping her cheek. To get nothing. Regret filling my insides as I look at her condition.

On getting no response from her, I pick her up in my arms bridal style.

Her long hair descending in waves behind as her hood drops down.

Walking inside ,I look down at her. Her face pressed to my chest and I sigh.

I was to choose my mate in an hour and here I was taking care of this stupid girl, yet once again.

I try hating her but I don’t know why.

I keep getting drawn to her, irrationally yet madly.
