Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
Second chance mate huh
My resolve began to break and the little energy that I had been saving was beginning to waver
So the universe actually gave me a second chance mate. A very shady and shitty one if I may add .
I don't know why but I was surprisingly not surprised. As silly as that sounds.
After all that I have been through this far, I don't think that anything can surprise me anymore
Because,I mean, ... I don't even know what I mean
I'm just tired
Of holding on
How many times have I tried to hold? How many times have I tried to look at the positive side of every damn difficult situation that the universe continuously keeps on throwing at me?
I managed to turn over though with difficulty and laid on my back
Maybe this way I'd choke on my own blood or something and end it all
Zerabi and her rogues didn't take my actions lightly
Instead their growls began to intensify but you know what ,fuck them and their stupid ugly looking mated furs
"Of for fucks sake I need a moment!"
I wheezed out
Courageous of me right? Well none of it is gonna matter in a few minutes
"Andrea!"
"Speaking of the devil, here he is"
Zerabi spoke ,but I wasn't even bothered by it
Of course the devil that was being spoken of just had to be Xerxes.
Judging from the way he called out my name, he must have rushed here and did I hear his voice break at the end?
No.
Probably my own imagination
He then did something unexpected. He kept beside my broken body and gently stroked my hair
"What have they done to you?"
He whispered and I could feel his hand shaking
"Who knew that the great Alpha Xerxes actually had a soft side"
"Why did you do this Zerabi? Haven't you done enough damage already?"
"Oh hush there little Alpha, I haven't even done much and here you are giving me too much credit "
"What do you want from me?"
"You know very well what I truly want "
"You have already taken everything from me, what else could you possibly want Zerabi"
"You know this is why I never like you and your old man. Always the ever so righteous wolf when all you both were were hypocritical wolves"
"You come into my lands , cause havoc and injure my mate without any reason and yet you call me hypocritical "
"Should I begin to list all of your wrongs right now Alpha"
"Leave this land and I shall show you mercy"
Now now now young alpha, I don't think you understand your current situation. You shall show me mercy? Oh please, if you weren't so into your head you would realize that it is you who is under my mercy right now.
Look around you, open your eyes and ears. Do you hear that sound. It's the sound of the cries of your pack. "
If it wasn't for the fact that I was ...you know .. dying, I would be totally invested in their conversation because tell me why I felt as if there was more than what met the eye with these two
As if they had some old beef that they needed to settle or something
But why on earth was I involved in all of this
You know what , I should probably continue lying still. Maybe by doing so they would think that I have died and ignore me
But you know , we can't all have what we want
Their attention was drawn back to me
I could feel their eyes on me
I may or may not have missed a good part of their conversation
Once again you cannot blame me
I'm dying remember
"Bring the girl"
She spoke
Now which girl was she talking about because I was so damn sure that it was not me
One second, a minute passed and still there were no grubby hands on me
Meaning that the girl she spoke of wasn't me
Thank goodness..
Maybe the girl was his third mate or fourth based on the fact that this wolf probably had more
One could never tell
"Xerxes"..
I knew the owner of that voice
It gave me nightmares at times
Larissa
And she sounded miserable, tired and probably dehydrated judging on how her voice broke at the end
Now let me guess the situation.
Larissa probably fucked up and now it's all going to bite her in the ass
She's probably either going to be used as collateral damage or she shall be used to black mail Xerxes
Serves him right though and she too deserves whatever it is she has underwent
Calm me mean or petty but come on, what would have you done in my situation
"Now that everyone is here, I shall now reveal my plan"
"Oh for the love of God shut the hell up lady
I get it you probably want revenge or you want to fulfil some weird ass fantasy but can you like get it over with it already"
"I can kill you right now girl"
"I'm already dying so I don't think that would scare me"
"You do realize that there are far more worse things than death"
"Well newsflash, I have been living a life far much worse than death"
"Alpha, you need to make a choice, right now"
"What do you mean by that Zerabi "
"A mate for a mate remember. You took the one thing that I treasured and so now I will do the same but unlike you, I am going to give you a choice "
"This is no time for games Zerabi"
"I never mentioned any games being played Alpha. Now choose. Who would you save. Your weak and pathetic human mate or your current Luna whom you have marked"
"You are not being fair Zerabi. This isn't a choice at all"
"Time is ticking Alpha. I am curious though. Who will you save."
I let out a cold laugh
Not because it was funny, but because I already knew what the answer would be
It was never going to be me
And I knew that
But it ...somewhat did sting.
"Should I have a small countdown"
I felt his fingers graze my cheek
"Andrea I.."
"You're pathetic, you know that right"
"I'm sorry but I ... I marked her and fuck this is messed up"
"It was never going to be me. I already knew that"
"Andrea"
"3"
"I'm so sorry Andrea"
"2"
"Please say something,I ..."
"1"
"Larissa"
I laughed again
Probably too hard because I felt my eyes water .
There was probably no way out but down huh
I could hear the rogues charge towards me
Then came the feel of their claws on my skin
And then I couldn't feel anything anymore
And then darkness
