alpha kings runaway mate

My heart was burning as I was running towards a destination I didn't know about.

I wanted to stop, I wanted to just sit down on the ground even if it was cold, but I wanted to stop. But I didn't know that someone or something was chasing me violently. I felt like I was going to die if I stopped to take a rest.

My mind was going on with endless thoughts of how I would end up here. And who is chasing me? All I could remember was that I passed out because of the punishment I received from my father. He told the servants not to give me food for three days and to not help me with the chores that I was given, which was all the work around the house. I didn't mind doing extra chores as I am used to this kind of treatment after my mom died in an accident, and my father found someone just right after that.

A loud growl pierced through the dark forest, making the hair on my body stand up. I picked up my pace even though I couldn't. The sound of paws hitting the ground and coming closer is when I tripped and fell on the cold and damp ground.

My heart was pounding against my chest as I turned my head and looked behind me to see the creature that was chasing me. As soon as I looked behind, I felt like my heart stopped and my eyes popped out of their sockets. It was a wolf, a big black wolf. He snarled at me as his red eyes shone dangerously under the silver moonlight.

My body started to shake violently as I got up from the cold and merciless ground. The wolf growled again as he started to walk towards me slowly like a predator ready to hunt. I gulped the lump in my throat as beads of sweat started to form on my forehead.

" I…. I…. Please…. St.. stay away, ``I started to bubble as I looked at the beast carefully. I know I don't stand a chance against this huge deadly monster.

He growled again, but this time it felt like it was a knife that pierced through the silent night. I took a step back when he took a step closer to me.

" Please," I begged, as if he could understand me. But my pleas made him more furious as his nose flared in anger and bared his teeth at me, making me fall to the ground again.

His red eyes flashed dangerously and a low growl rumbled in his throat. I looked at him and my eyes widened when he licked his lips, looking at me like he was going to devour me at any moment.

I narrowed my eyes at him when I saw him smirk like he knew I didn't have any chance to escape now.

" Scarlett," I heard my name being called, but I froze in my place to do anything. The beast finally reached my feet and hovered over me.

" Scarlett!" I heard my name again.

A scream left my mouth as the beast finally sank its teeth into my shoulder, piercing my skin and reaching my bones.

" Scarlett. Scarlett!"

Suddenly, my eyes snapped open and I found myself panting. The first thing I saw was the ceiling of my room.
