Chapter 3

I slept terribly last night, kept getting woken up to Silas howling all night and Jason yelling at him, everyone in the pack house could hear it. Today is going to suck I swear. Groggily I sit up and rub my eyes. Happy birthday to me, I guess. 

I get off my little makeshift bed. I hid my bag by the pond last night, just so it's there and not here so no one finds it, I'll pick it up when i make my escape tonight. Suddenly, there is a knock on the door. I quickly open the door. standing there is Jason.

"Happy birthday bug." he says smiling at me

I yawn. "Thank you, Jason."

"Sorry about last night, he was a bitch to deal with all night." he says looking at me. I notice the bruises and scratch marks on his arms. 

"No need to be sorry, Aria doesn't even feel a pull towards him really, she knows our mate is here, she doesn't really care. When should I do the thing? And where the hell is he right now?" I say softly, looking around making sure no one is around to hear us talk. 

"Aria, so that's your wolfs name?" He says amused. "Maybe one day, Aria can meet Allen." I nod smiling at him. I've met Jason's wolf Allen about three years ago, I met him during an invasion. The Blood Moon Pack had invaded our lands, I was ushering children down into the cellars, when I saw his wolf, he was grey with green eyes, he was a huge wolf, his wolf almost bigger than Silas's wolf. 

"Sorry for going off topic, it's good that Aria doesn't seem to care, and if I were you I would do it when he approaches you, because I'm pretty sure Alex is getting his ass whooped right now by Silas, because he won't let Silas out of the room either." he laughs a bit. 

Alex is Silas's other Beta. Most packs only have one Beta and a Gamma, but it just all depends on the Alpha, some Alpha's like Silas, would rather just have two Beta's that way, no one is a higher rank than the other. 

"Okay." I chuckle, at Jason's words, "Guess I'll go ahead and get this over with." I sigh then throw myself into Jasons arms, hugging him tightly. Jason wraps his arms around me also. 

"I know that this sucks bug. However, it's the only way you will be able to get away from him, and everyone else here." he says his voice sad. "Just stay in touch with me, okay?" 

"You know I will, you're all I have left in this world." I say into his chest, then pull away from the hug. Jason hesitantly let's go. "He's in his office, correct?" 

Jason nods. "I'll walk you there, because I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to take Alex to the Pack doctor anyway. Also, that way me and Alex are not near both of you when it happens. Alex feels the same way, about you getting out of here." he says to me, shutting the door behind me. "Where is the bag at?" he started walk down the hallway. 

"At the pond, I moved it there last night. You know how hard it was, getting past his damn room." I snicker waiting for him to realize, walking next to him, both of us going quiet when we'd see a pack member. Of course, they're saying awful things, under their breaths, glaring daggers at me. 

"You mean that was you when he went absolutely ape shit on me. Because I thought he was just being damn delusional when he said you were nearby." Jason groans, throwing his head back after the member passed us, speaking so I could only hear him. 

I laugh, "Yeah that was me. Sorry." 

We finally get to his hallway, all you hear is Alex yelling at Silas, from in the hallway. "Silas, I swear to God, I'm going to chain you up like a fucking dog if you don't stop." 

"Let me get to her damn it" Silas growls loudly, his tone cold as ice.

I sigh and walm down the hallway, Jason at my side, we reach Silas's office. All I hear is Silas growl, as I approach the door. Jason opens the door, Alex turns his head quickly, noticing us. He's bleeding pretty profusely from his arm, guessing that Silas just did that to him, he was pretty beat up. Silas is staring at me, more like glaring.

"Alex, let's get you to the pack doctor." Jason says, walking into the room. I continue to stand by the door. "Silas fucking behave yourself." Jason glares at him.

Silas, Jason and Alex and I were all friends growing up, Silas wasn't always this way, his father taught him to be this way, because his father was the same evil, narcissistic, sadistic person. After his father was killed by Blood Moon Pack's Alpha Loren Blake, Silas had to step up as Alpha at just 16 years old. Then his mom was given a second chance mate. That's when he changed.

Jason and Alex walk past me, Alex shoots me a sympathetic smile, then they both disappear, I walk into his office shutting the door, as I turn around, I am slammed up against the door. Silas's breath ragged in my ear. He punches the door.

"Why couldn't the fucking Elders be wrong. Why does it have to be you!" he growls loudly in my ear, causing me to jump.

"That's two of us." I growl, Aria is currently silent. It makes me happy that she really doesn't care about him.

Silas then just breaths in deeply inhaling my scent. his body trembling, all I hear his breathing in my ear.

"I can't do this." he growls loudly, shoving me against the door, his face now inches from mine.

I smile at him, shoving him off of me. "I Mae Evans, daughter of Kat and Aj Evans, reject you, Silas Grey Alpha of Midnight Pack as my mate." I say to him, his eyes widen in response, then I feel it the mate bond snapping, yet I felt no pain, Silas on the other hand, yelled out loudly and collapsed to the floor. At that moment I swung the door open, taking off as fast as I can.

Quickly I run through the pack house, Silas yelling loudly telling everyone to capture me. I bust through the front door, taking off across the road, into the woods. Not looking back, all I hear is howling of the warriors out searching for me.

I approach the pond, my bag sitting at the tree line. I grab ahold of it very quickly putting it on my back, strapping it tightly to my body. Glancing at the pond one more time, the warriors are gaining on me quickly. I look back and I see Alex and Jason in wolf form. They lock eyes with me, I then turn and run. Jason wasn't lying that Silas would make them all chase after me. I wasn't too much farther from the territory lines, that brought me into what we call death territory, where rogues, nightwalkers, and black magic witches reside.

I then hear a loud howl, It's Silas. "Fuck he close" I say under my breath. Finally, I reach the territory lines. Don't ask how I know it's like werewolf intuition, we only really know when were near the pack we belong in type deal.

I cross over the lines, Jason then leaps in front of me, baring his teeth at me snarling. I look at him, he then adverts his eyes right telling me to go that way. Most of the times warriors wont cross lines unless they have to, and then to get between packs there is certain routes we take.

I sprint the way he adverted his eyes, looking over my shoulder I watch him then go back into territory lines. Sighing in relief, I continue to run. It felt as if I had been running forever, my exhaustion catching up to me quickly. I finally decided to stop for a moment to catch my breath.

I'm out of breath, I lean up against a tree, panting. "They can't still be chasing me, on top of that I have no idea where I am at." I say looking around, still in the woods, suddenly I hear a branch snap. I snap my head around, there stand three rogues, teeth baring snarling, their fur sticking straight up, the crazed look in their eyes. I gasp and take off running.

"Mae keep running, Go!" Aria yells to me.

A rogue then jumps in front of me, quickly I dart left, taking off. I keep running, next thing I know a rogue jumps at me from behind sinking its teeth into my shoulder. I cry out in pain, kicking my leg backwards, my foot connects with the Rogue's chest, causing him to release me, it howls in pain. I take my chance to run again, guessing the other two are trying to flank me. The pain from my shoulder is excruciating, however I fight through the pain and just keep running. I jump over a fallen tree, ahead of me I see a clearing. Out of know where I'm hit from the side, one of the rogue's hits me causing me to slam into a tree, knocking the wind out of me.  I quickly stand, I'm panting, the Rogue stalks its way towards me, his lips in snarl, his canines showing. a second rogue appears next to him, both then pounce at me, ducking quickly they both hit the tree. I then take my chance to run. At this point, it's life or death, and I sure as hell won't die like my parents did.

"Fuck me, where's the third one." I say feeling faint from the blood loss from my shoulder. Since I haven't had my first shift yet, I don't heal as quickly yet. I make it into the clearing, all three rogue's jump over me. One of them growls, and the left wolf, tackles me. landing on my back. Guess he's in charge. I cry out in pain, the wolf goes for my neck. I use all my strength with my legs, kicking him off me.

"Fighting it is." I say standing up, glaring at the three rogue's. "Come at me." I growl.

"Mae! No!" Aria yells at me, but i ignore her.

I take a look at them, they're circling me, the gray Rogue with amber colored eyes, attacks me first. Quickly it jumps at me, quickly I dodge, jumping onto its back snapping it's neck quickly, it drops to the ground. Using the training my parents taught me is coming in handy. I go to get off the dead wolf, but the tannish colored wolf jumps on me, knocking me off the dead wolf, sinking his teeth into my already injured shoulder. I scream in pain, as the other wolf bites into my leg. The tan wolf then claws at my chest, raking it's claws down my body. I struggle, throwing a punch, I hit the tan wolf square in the throat, causing him to let go of my shoulder.

"Help!" I scream, even though I know it wouldn't do much anyway.

Suddenly the tannish wolf is tackled out of nowhere, by a pure black wolf. Following the black wolf is two grey wolves, attacking the wolf who was still latched to my leg. I watch the three other wolves quickly kill the two rogue's.

I'm weak, my breathing is heavy, my body covered in blood. I stand up, I'm shaking. The two grey wolves glare at me. The black wolf walking between them, growling, his eyes are silver. My eyes lock on with his, and he stops growling, I suddenly smell a very sweet scent, a mixture of wood and vanilla.

I collapse to my knees, my legs couldn't hold me up anymore. I look down at the ground, my vision started to get blurry. I hear the three random wolves, start to shift, My body then hit the ground, darkness surrounded me.
