Venom’s POV
We watched from our position and waited patiently until the men that were leading slaves earlier finally appeared out of the gates. They had even come with more population than earlier, but they were all in a bus.
I had the men with me following them in the direction they were going.
“Just keep up with them until they leave here, then we can attack.” I ordered. They didn’t move at a pace too fast and we were able to keep up with our supernatural capabilities.
By the time we got close, I ordered one of the men to go slash their tyres so we could slow them down.
The plan worked out well for us and the bus came to a halt which the driver or whoever the person was, came out to check on the issue.
As soon as he was out of the driver seat, everyone attacked the bus and the men were at every angle fighting the men who were guarding the bus and trying to free the slaves.
I personally decided I would be at the forefront of the battle. After what I had seen happen with Maya, I used all the frustration in me to fight against them.
We were winning and the men didn’t seem like too much of an hassle until they transformed into their wolf forms and we had to do the same and we were much stronger than they were. For a moment there, I wondered what kind of breed they were because of how they seemed to be fighting.
Their attacks did less damage than we inflicted on them and after a few punches and scratches from us, we had knocked all the men out cold.
“Get the slaves!” I ordered the man as we transformed back.
Everyone was quick to go to the back where the people had been stored. They were already getting released and the men struggled with getting the shackles off of them, but when we intervened, the work was evenly distributed.
I was helping someone with the chains on their hands when I heard a familiar voice. At first, I didn’t recognize it, but when she spoke again, I realized she was the one.
” Maya?” I asked from where I stood.
” Master! ”
” Maya!” I turned to my back and saw a pale looking Maya standing and being helped out by one of the men. I went towards her and all the adrenaline in me helped cut of the chains on her to hug her.
” Maya! ” i exclaimed one more time as we stayed together for a while, it was a heartfelt moment and it was like everything was still at that moment for the two of us.
“We have been searching for you for the longest time!” I told her.
“And I’ve been trying to find my way out of the hell hole I got into. It’s been crazy. Thanks be to the gods!” She replied to me.
It was unbelievable and I stared at her like I wasn’t witnessing reality. It was later that I realized that we had to evacuate the area because of the men we had knocked out and the bus we had hijacked from its original course.
The men were tied up in the bus, the chain was just enough to bundle everyone of them together. The people who had been kidnapped and we’re almost getting traded joined in the party to help gather all the men.
It was a field day of revenge for them. As soon as we were done with that, I led everyone away from there and we went on to search for the other men we had separated from. Getting out of the pack would be easy, finding our way back to ours was the issue.
The men at the market had not crossed the boundaries they had to move around and everyone was immediately called to order and we were all gathered at the border of the territory we had infiltrated minutes ago.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“I’m sorry everyone, but we will have to camp here for a bit until rescue reaches us tonight or tomorrow morning. You will be well guarded and I can guarantee that nothing will happen to anyone here.” I announced to them.
No one complained or murmured, they seemed satisfied with the result of being resuced. Maya was all over me the whole time and I wouldn’t let her go either, I still couldn’t believe I finally had her with me.
Everyone positioned themselves strategically and we waited incase we were pursued, but from the looks of how we took out the operation, they wouldn’t be finding anything until days later unless people at their destination we’re to be worried. That was the least of the worry.
I was happy and held Maya close as we sat down at the position where we could overlook over environment incase they came for us.
“Don’t you think you should rest, Alpha?” One of the men came to meet me where I sat.
“I’m fine here.” I replied sharply.
“But you’ve been searching for days and doing so much, I’ll take over from you. Please, rest.” He insisted.
“You should, you don’t look like how I knew a few days ago or has it been weeks?” Maya contributed.
I finally gave in and moved away from where I was to let the other man take charge of where I had been manning all along.
“We can have the full time to ourselves now.” Maya giggled as we moved away from the spot.
“I’m surprised to find you. Where have you been and what happened that evening?” I asked her.
There were different questions racing in my mind for her. I couldn’t even drop everything all at once.
“You wouldn’t believe this,” she started. “I fell into Elora’s bag.” She ended.
I was surprised, but since I was considering that option all along since I was investigating, it was an Eureka moment for me.
“Somehow, I guessed that, but I couldn’t have had my mind trust that kind of witchcraft.”
