"So we're just gonna walk anywhere? We could walk right into her trap and she'd take every part of our body out until we're nothing." I said getting tired of riding the horse. We were riding the horse because taking a car was too risky and we were still in the forest part of our society.
We got to a cleared vast area and there was a landmark that showed a demarcation of territory and boundaries, making us understand that we were about to enter a pack and that wasn't the best thing for us to do right now. We were rogues and had no pack, wolves in packs consider us dangerous and they kill us at first sight and I don't blame most of them because of previous occurrence but that still didn't mean it was fair.
We had nowhere else to go, we couldn't lodge in an inn cause they'd be able to notice us and report us. I was terribly hungry and can't remember when last I ate. I was still thinking of where we could possibly go to and how I could fill my stomach when I heard the sound of sirens followed by the swooshing of arrows shooting towards us. We managed to duck that but more came. Soon enough we were surrounded by about thirty men. But I don't think it's fair, we're outnumbered here three and thirty is no fair deal.
"What have we got here?" a guy asked.
He was the most handsome person I've ever met. His eyes are so dark and a bit scary making my knees go weak, his bone structure was fine and perfectly symmetrical, it was manly. He's probably six feet something, he has tousled brown hair and his eyes were the green of fresh dew glinting in the sunlight off a leaf of green emerald. Aside from his features there was something else that pulled me closer to him it was his scent. He smelled like fresh wood and somewhat fruity like citrus and cinnamon, gosh his scent was so good.
I didn't seem to notice but I think he ordered his people to shoot us saying we were rogues cause the next thing I knew arrows were flying from all directions towards us. I used my powers to avoid it, using my eyes to direct the arrow away from coming towards us changing its direction and this got them confused and the guy angry.
"You guys are damn fools." He shouted angrily taking an arrow and sending it directly to me. I was busy wondering why he would do that, that's a lie though. I was lost in staring at him and taking in his scent. I didn't even notice when the arrow hit my right shoulder. Sam and Jonathan started shooting arrows at them hitting every of their target while I made sure theirs didn't by using my powers. I stopped for a minute to look at the guy, he had this look that demands respect and with the strong aura he was oozing there was no doubt he was the alpha. I wonder what he wants with us and what he was going to do to us.
I didn't even notice that he had shot Sam and Jonathan due to my carelessness, they were down on the floor unconscious, I bet the arrow had some sleeping effect on them. It was good to know that he doesn't want us dead.
"Take them." he ordered and they charged towards us seizing us. His voice was so cold and icy and I don't know why I found it appealing. And then it occurred to me, he was my mate.
I could have stopped them from taking us, I could have done something. With a simple gesture, all the men infront of me could become corpses rotting in the grass at my feet including their daunting Alpha but I chose not to. I don't know what lies ahead but it would be nothing compared to how we've been living.
At least he wasn't going to take us to her or not yet. If he kept us imprisoned no one would find us and at least we would know that we are safe for the time being and if we're lucky we could get food to eat. He couldn't possibly kill us could he?
He shot another arrow at me on the arm he did before. The ache in my shoulder intensified. It tore through muscle and tissue lighting flames of pain that seared through the nerves. I gasped and my steps faltered as my teeth clenched together. I began to feel the effect of the shot as they pulled us away.
I ignored my bleeding arm or the fact that they concentrated in pulling my right hand, that was the last I remembered as I soon joined the rest in their sleep.
"Wake them up." I heard the cold voice say and before I knew it a whole bucket of cold and when I mean cold, I mean extremely cold water was poured on each one of us.
"Seriously, this is how you wake someone up? A little tap on the shoulder would have been good." I said icily. I didn't like the cold water at all.
"And what do you think we are your servants to serve the mighty princess? " he said scornfully.
" You clearly look like one to me." I muttered and got a nudge from Sam. "And I pretty much fit the role of a princess."
"Don't flatter yourself darling, this is reality. You can stop dreaming now, don't you think you're too old for that?" he said. The way he spoke made me have a sudden detest towards him. He didn't seem friendly in any way. I rolled my eyes having no good come back and he smirked.
"Now back to talk, what were you rogues doing wandering around my land? " he asked coldly.
"We were on a journey." Jonathan spoke up for the first time since we've been locked up here.
"To?" he asked urging Jonathan to continue.
" Visit a relative. " Sam quipped in.
''Really ?" he asked sounding not convinced. " If you were going to visit a relation then why do you have all this?" his tone was demanding. The one where you had to answer real quick.
All the weapons we had were thrown on the floor. "I would like an explanation for this. You clearly weren't going to visit a relative. "
" Well we were. We all know how dangerous the whole place is and with Loranda on the loose we had that for self defense." I said. At least that sounded reasonable to some point.
He did what I didn't expect. He laughed, not the type that got one staring or sounds pleasing to hear. It was a mocking one and I hated that. " Self defense? What does a girl like you know about self defense. You couldn't do anything when you were attacked, what could you possibly do then if you come across Loranda? "
"For starters I could give you as food to her dogs." I said.
" Oh please. I'm being serious here. You and your friends trespassed territory. All rogues that land on our land dies. No matter who they may be." he said the last part looking at me.
I was trying to tell myself that he doesn't know but the bastard does. He knew from the start, I don't know why he was treating me like that. I was his mate for god's sake and mates are supposed to go all lovey dovey on each other so why was mine treating me like this and even threatening to kill me.
"I'm hungry. Can I get something to eat? I haven't had a proper meal in days." I said and he just looked at me. "How does that have anything to do with what I just said? " "I'm hungry. " I whined."Let's make a deal then. I'd get you food and in return you tell me everything." "Sounds tempting but no." I declined. "You should better do as I say while I'm still asking nicely. " he ordered, his tone commanding and intimidating. " Well I don't answer to you. And I'm also not going to play the role of a puppet dancing to your tune doing everything you ask of me. " I said matching his tone. " A day or two of torture would be able to bring out the little amount of sense you have left. " he threatened." At least I have some sense left
Damon's PovI got out of the room and went to meet Cici thinking about how I met my mate . I was just in my office when the alarm went off that rogues trespassed on my land and I wasn't prepared to let them live. Rogues have been wrecking havoc for quite some time and we killed any when seen to prevent that but that wasn't the case here. I went outside to see just three of them and they looked pretty messed up but I was still able to catch the scent of the female, her scent was like vanilla and lemon, it was simply alluring and I found myself wanting to be close to her but then she's a rogue and I don't associate with them. Not even if she happens to be my mate." What have we got here? " I asked. We surrounded them and soon enough I ordered my men to shoot them and surprisingly it didn't even get to them. This made me confused,angry and curious.&nbs
" I'm not staying a second in this damn place. " I said angrily" And what are you going to do about that? "Jonathan asked." You just keep on provoking the hell out of the guy maybe he even wanted to release us but you had to open your mouth and get him angry. " Sam said angrily." Well if you guys can take his attitude I certainly can't oh and you can stay here waiting for him to 'release' you. " I said doing air quotes when I said release."How are we going to get out he has our things remember. " Sam said."Well not for long. "I said." So what's the plan? " Jonathan asked.The guards were not within earshot and were standing outside the cell which was in a room so they were behind the door and wouldn't notice me missing. I had the power to turn invisible but it could only last for five minute

7Damon's pov I didn't know what to do when she lost balance and nearly fell and I had to admit I was shocked, even though I didn't like her I didn't want her to get hurt." Yeah right, says the guy that shot her on the arm not once but twice . " my wolf Tyler said growling. "Well it's not my fault that she's a rogue and she's very stubborn. I had to prove a point". "Well she's our mate and you are going to treat her right. " " No I won't. You can't tell me how to treat her. You're not the one who stands her talking like that. " "Well you totally deserve it anyway. "" Yeah. Just as much as she deserves it. "" Gosh. You're so cruel even to your mate but if it's Cici ..." "Don't drag Cici into this okay"
8Lianna's pov I hated him a lot. Just what type of a mate was he. I was half expecting him to come rushing in to check on me to be sure I was safe but he didn't and that just annoyed me and to top it all I was seriously hungry. Maybe it will be best if I died from hunger rather than in the hand of my mate or sister. Yeah that was better. I'd just stick to that but I really wanted to eat. "What are we going to do now?" I whined. "Let's just beg him for our lives." Jonathan said while Sam and I glared at him. "You can do that. I'd rather he kill me. I doubt if he'd spare us if we begged. That guy is colder than ice and seems wicked and uglier than the devil . " I said " Yeah, that explains why you stare at him like you want to kiss him right there and then. "
9" Just leave him alone would you. " I shouted and he threw Sam on the floor like he was nothing."You're running away from Loranda, how this all even happen. I want an explanation and I want it now. "" And what makes you think that I'd tell you. You've heard enough as it seems." I said and before I knew it he was in front of me pinning me to the wall. His muscular frame hovering against my small own." Don't make me force you to. " he said calmly through gritted teeth. I could tell he was pretty angry" What exactly do you want to know? " I asked sighing. He had to find out some day anyway." Everything. Every single thing ." he said." Why? It's not like you care anyway, what happened to me doesn't matter to you. I mean nothing to you and I'm going to tell you nothing. If you aren't satisfie
10" I'd like to see you try. " Damon said punching Sebastian.Sebastian gave him a punch on the jaw and from how his fists was and Damon's expression I could tell that it was pretty painful. Damon returned the punch and they just kept on doing that. They were both on the floor now Damon on top of Sebastian punching him repeatedly, they both were a sorry sight but Sebastian looked worse. Sebastian pushed Damon off him and started retaliating.I and Sebastian guys just stood watching. I was just confused as to why they were fighting. They didn't really have a serious motive." I could have just killed you then. " Sebastian said punching Damon on the jaw." We both know you'd never make it no matter how much you try. " Damon said kicking him off." Don't be too sure about that. " Sebastian said smirking.
