ALMOST MET

MICHAEL

The moment the rogue Alpha left the room, I took that as an opportunity to untie my rope as quickly as I could.

I checked the area looking for any werewolf on standby who could attack me, but the coast seemed to be clear.

With my backpack in my hands, I ran out into the woods, suddenly I heard a loud cry that got me transfixed to a spot.

I felt sad at the screams, it seemed like it was calling out to me.

"What was that about" I wondered.

There was no time for me to feel bad about whoever was crying, I have to leave this place as soon as possible.

Just as I resumed my escape, I was surrounded by four ferocious looking wolves, one of them approached me as he shifted back to his human form.

"Going somewhere?".

I walked backwards, trying to find a good opportunity to fight, if it came to that.

I need to find my father's killers at all costs, even if it meant I might get killed in the process.

"Aren't you the prisoner of rogue Alpha Frederick?, how the hell did you get out here?".

I silently planned my escape, not wanting to be recaptured by them.

One of the werewolf noticed I was trying to escape, he ran towards me in a fit of attack, and I quickly brought out my weapon to defend myself.

I fought with them for some minutes, but they seemed to be very relentless, maybe because they heal no matter how many times they got injured

I was running out of strength as well as I continued to hear the screams in my head.

"Who was that and why won't she stop screaming, her screams affected me in so many ways, but strangely the screams gave me more energy to fight and defend myself.

Just as I was fighting them off, to my greatest surprise it seemed as though they were being attacked from the back.

When I took a close look I was surprised to see Martin and Eve fighting the wolves, striking them with wolfs bane weapons

"Shoot" I forgot to carry that, it would have been easier for me to get rid of them.

"Michael, now!".

Martin shouted for me to escape and with that, I ran away, knowing the wolves will become weak when the wolfs bane is used on them.

We ran back to the direction of our community.

After running for hours, we decided to take a rest at a place we know was safe.

"What the hell are you two doing out here?, and how did you know I came all the way here?"

"Michael, you should have let us on your plans to attack the rogue village, you have no idea how long it took us to find you" Martin said panting with an annoyed expression.

"It was Martin who first knew, you were planning an attack on the rogues" Eve said.

"How come?, I never told you about my plans".

Martin gave a laugh.

"You must really think am dumb Michael, I'm smart, and I knew you were planning an attack from the moment I saw you giving yourself hardcore trainings.

It will be foolish of me not to know what you are thinking when we live in the same house and are very close".

"But you shouldn't have come, what if something happened to you two?, do you think I would be able to live with myself if then?".

Martin and Eve fell silent for they understood why Michael was doing this, but they just couldn't let him fight alone.

"Michael don't you value our friendship anymore?, we are buddies we are supposed to be fighting together and not alone. Your fight is our fight, Michael, never ever think of leaving us out of your plans again".

Michael also felt bad for keeping his friends out of his plans. He never really thought about how they might feel if something bad had happened to him. They certainly won't forgive themselves.

MAYA

I was in my room as usual when suddenly I felt a strain pain in my head, I screamed as the pain seemed to be increasing by the minute.

"What could be wrong with me, this wasn't the kind of pain I feel before I passed out, this pain was a different kind of pain entirely"

Some minutes later, Alpha Frederick ran inside the room and saw how Maya screamed. He had to call in Meredith, who was also confused as to why she was in so much pains.

It did not look as though it was an old injury that relapsed. This was strange.

Vina said, her mate was in danger, that was why she felt such pain. But it was strange because Maya's wolf has not awakened yet, so why was she feeling such pains.

That was also a mystery in the making.

After a while Maya stopped screaming and just then Cedric informed Frederick of the human's escape.

Cedric asked rogue Alpha if they should chase after the human, but he asked him to let the human go.

Frederick has been trying to place his hands on what occurred some hours ago.

The humans visit searching for a man named Evans White.

Just who was this man, he must be a human, but why will another human come to the werewolf territory searching for another human?

Was there something he was missing, perhaps?

He couldn't still understand why he felt so calm around the human earlier.

He was a human and an enemy to his kind, so why did he feel so calm around him?

This calmness was said to be felt when you find your mate but as far as Frederick was concerned Michael was not a werewolf neither was he a woman and besides his wolf did not give him any sign of him being his mate, he only he felt that calmness.

"Could it be that Michael was connected with his mate?"

When he heard the human escaped he didn't feel any form of anger at all, rather he really wanted the human gone.

This is really new and strange. He wasn't someone known to have pity on his werewolf kind, that offended him not to talk about his worse enemies which are the humans.

He wondered if his mate was human. If that was the case, how can he find her? Though he never cared about searching for his mate, even though he felt an emptiness inside him despite the number of women he slept with.

Maya was another mystery, she seemed to be on a different dimension when he saw her.

Her coming of age was just some weeks to come, and yet, there was still no sign of a protector.

Whoever that protector was is not in his rogue community.

Frederick thought that if the protector was not found before the coming of age ceremony, he would have to protect Maya alone with his warriors.

BLOOD ROSE PACK

Nathan became, Lana's warrior as he guarded the pack.

Tania was still very annoyed at what Nathan did to their pack, and she intended to reject him since they never mated.

Nathan's mom died a few weeks after the death of her mate, beta Raymond.

Nathan has been living in misery after everything that he has done.

Lucas was still in prison and no sooner than later, he found out Nathan was the one who betrayed their pack.

Lucas stopped Tania from visiting since she hid the truth from him.

He came to know about the truth through Ryan, who was now made second in command after Nathan.

Ryan never stopped ridiculing Lucas, telling him he was a weakling just as his whole family.

He constantly told him of how his sister was killed and thrown out of the pack for wild animals to devour.

He made him know no one was going to save him, and he was to spend the rest of his life in the dungeons.

Lucas never said a word, for he was going to accept his fate as punishment for everything he has done to his sister Maya.

In Blood Rose pack more people were killed because Lana became very ruthless, whoever complained about her way of leading was killed instantly.

Even the pack elders who supported her at began complaining about her ruthlessness,, but they were not spared as she killed each one who told her she did not deserve the throne.

Pups and their parents were not spared either from Lana's tyranny.

Everyone lived in fear in their pack.

Alpha Derrick also visited with his pack warriors, they took with them some she wolves specially those Mateless warriors took she-wolfs they desired not minding whether she was already mated or not.

They killed whoever complained about their way of life.

So, whenever Derrick visited, he took anything and whoever he wanted, and Lana gave him freely whatever he desired.
