RISSA'S POVHe made my safety his own priority. To be honest, Drax has really grown from the nonchalant, sad, wounded man I rescued from that trap weeks ago."He may be pretending, waiting for us to lower our guard, so he can kill us or escape and alert whoever is working with him." Drax whispered back.I don't know what his talking about, because the prisoner I'm looking at right now is clearly in a deep sleep. I'm sure we could put him in a car and move him across the country without him moving a muscle.I was feeling very sleepy, but my conscience wouldn't let me leave Drax awake and all alone. It would be unfair on my part, so I got up and sat with him on the bed.Lily was sleeping on the other bed, and the prisoner was on the chair tied up. We were the only ones awake. It was dark, and the only source of illumination was the dim yellow light from the table lamp, and the scattered light rays that came from the street lights. I sat close with him on the bed with our bodies only in
DRAX'S POVThere was a coffee shop next to the inn building that had glass walls in front of the building. I peeked into the shop and my eye caught the television hanging up on the wall.My heart banged as I saw what was being displayed on the screen.It was the news, and I and Rissa's pictures were boldly plastered on the screen, announcing us as dangerous fugitives.From what was being displayed on the news, it seemed like our bounty had been increased to twenty-five million dollars.I facepalmed as I realized our mistake. How could we have expected to find solace in a land that was also controlled by our enemy?My uncle has monopolized the media, the power... everything. He made the people poor, thereby making himself the richest person around here.So, I'm not surprised that so many people turned up for a man hunt as big and dangerous as this. "Shit! I think they followed us here..." Rissa sighed in frustration."Followed?!" I exclaimed. "These posters are at least two days old.
RISSA'S POVSeeing that these people had no plans of letting us go, I had to take action. What do I have to lose? I do nothing, and they rape us and beat us to stupor. I fight back and I earn myself a chance of escape, no matter how small. So, I bit the hand over my mouth hard untill it was bleeding. Then I hit one the other man with my elbow. He bellowed in pain with his hands on his belly.Lily observed that I was trying to fight back, so she took the hint and joined in. Like she did at the club the previous night, she kicked the leader in his balls with her knee—I guess she has a thing for making men impotent."RUN!"We took off, but unfortunately we did not get far before a couple of hands grabbed us from behind and pulled us back. We tried our best, but we were outmatched from the beginning.These are big, fast, muscular wolves with killer instincts, and we're just---an inexperienced human and a shewolf. They pulled us backwards and tried to take us back to the dark area.In the
DRAX'S POVThe fact that there are people who stand by me is a huge confidence boost. It makes me realize that I'm not just fighting for myself... But I'm fighting for every other person who has stood beside me in my weakness.There are people who look up to me and expect me to do something about the current state of the packs-- I cannot let them down.Not now when they need me the most. Not now when the people are in a state of despair and unrest."Uncle Bart, how is my brother?" I asked as I remembered one more person I wasn't going to let down. My baby brother, Asher.Bart sighed, and I immediately knew it was bad news. "Tell me!" I bellowed as I itched to know what my brother's state was."It's still the same old routine – only worse... Damian doesn't let him out of his room at all. I haven't seen him in nearly a week now. Sometimes Damian even starves him, but I instructed Rebecca to sneak some food to him even when Damian says otherwise."My chest constricted as I heard my broth
DRAX'S POV"I stopped seeing him like a threat, and started believing that we were in love. Soon, we found other rogues that were in a similar situation with us, and then we formed a group." She said."So that's why I decided to tag along with you guys." She smiled. "I'm tired of living the same old boring life with Ryker. I want something different."I guess she must not have known that I knew about my uncle's excapades already, courtesy of my wolf's consciousness, Alef.Most of the information she gave about my uncle, my wolf had already told me two nights ago."...and I find traveling with a sexy Alpha to be the right kind of distraction I need right now." She winked at me seductively. I understand that she's naturally a flirty person, perhaps because of all those years she spent servicing Ryker."Can you not do that—please?" I told her with a straight face."What? I'm just kidding with you..." She said, playfully."Well, you're going to get us killed." Rissa scolded her angrily.
LILY'S POVWell, it's not like it's a totally new feeling for me... All my life I've been on the run. From the very day that guamistressrd left me to out in the forest alone, I haven't lived a single day without having to look over my shoulder.The only difference was, this time I felt like I was doing the right thing. I felt like I was following the right people, and endangering myself for the right reasons.I don't regret my actions. As long as I'm aiding in the destruction of the man that made my life miserable, I'm very much okay.I'm just so invested in bringing justice to the man who's responsible for all this. Alpha Damian has to pay for all his evil deeds.Unfortunately, I have no idea when his justice will be served. We're still far from any real progress.On the bright side, at least I got to see my mother, and I found out that she's okay. That one right there is a great consolation for me.Currently, we're still in hiding. Trying to lay low and avoid getting killed by the h
DRAX'S POVBart paused for a moment, then he replied. "We're all good, but I've got good news and bad news." He hesitated, then continued. "Damian held a secret meeting with all the alphas of the other packs... I think he threatened them with military action, or maybe somehow cajoled them into giving up their authority for him. Because when he came out after the meeting, he declared himself Grand Alpha, and went his way, without any of the other alphas batting an eye—""We're aware of that, Bart. We just saw it on the news. It's terrible." Drax sighed."That's bad, Drax. Very, very bad. He'll have so much power, I doubt if we'll be able to even stop him.""Don't worry, we'll survive." Drax said, in a bid to encourage him. "You said you had good news and bad news..." Drax reminded him, itching to hear what it was. After everything we've been through, we all could really use some good news right now."Okay, right. So I talked with the shaman about your wolf issue. He felt bad and said h
DRAX'S POV"Come on. We need to find him." I nudged her again."Why do we need to find him? He's a grown man." She said with sleepy eyes."We can't lose him. We need to keep a close eye on him so that we won't lose him Incase he turns into a wolf and goes on a rampage." I explained to her.She seemed reluctant, but she eventually got up and joined me to search. After searching for some time, Lily slowly moved closer to me and whispered in my ear. "Is that what we're looking for?" Lily looked terrified after she peeked behind a bush.I took a peek too and noticed it was Drax's wolf. He must have had a serious morning wood when he woke up today."Quick! Step back. Don't let him see you." I warned Lily. "Don't also make any sudden movements. If he notices us, we're dead." I whispered and stepped back a few steps.Lily matches my steps and we inched backwards slowly. I don't know how long it takes for him to get out of an unprovoked morning boner shift. The plan was to make sure he doesn'
