The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply by Demiah13

Chapter 45

(Aurora’s pov)

“Beta Samuel,” I bowed my head in respect for the powerful male wolf.

“We need to be on our way. Alpha Xavier was very strict on you being long gone before he gets back.” Beta Samuel says, his gaze flickering to the woods ahead. It was rather thick and scary.

I turn to stare at Sarah, my gaze falling down sadly. Did he seriously want me gone that bad?

Sarah must’ve noticed my gaze because she smiles in reassurance, clearly remembering that I didn’t like the look of pity.

“It will be fine Aurora. I’m sure Alpha Xavier will come to his senses before you step foot out of the border.” She says softly, squeezing my clammy hand. My other hand held on to the small backpack Cas had given me.

The only thing of her I had left.

I wanted to know so badly of what happened to her. I wanted to know so badly if she were still alive and safe.

I clutched the bag tightly, using it as an anchor so I wouldn’t break down and crumble before two wolves. It was embarrassing enough that everyone knew Xavier had cast me out.

Maybe this was for the better. Maybe just maybe, I can find my purpose to live a life of freedom just like I had wanted. Perhaps even find out what I truly am.

And maybe, meet Cas again.

*I highly doubt our Alpha would change his mind. I have known Xavier since he was a boy, he doesn’t change his mind easily or often” Beta Samuel grunts, looking down on me like a man would do to the bottom of his shoe.

“Beta Samuel, with all due respect. I don’t think your words are of much help or do we wish to hear them,” Sarah grumbles beside m e, annoyance clear in her voice.

I haven’t known her for long, sadly, but she looks like a girl who was always chirpy. This was the first time I’ve ever seen her with a sculptured face of irritation.

It oddly didn’t look like her at all.

Beta Samuel turned to stare at her, his features vexed and eyes glowing a piercing blue. “Know your rank Sarah,” He snarls harshly causing Sarah to flinch back and her fingers to slip from my hand.

She bows her head apologizing quickly. “My apologies Beta Samuel. I will watch my words the next time.”

Beta Samuel only grunts, eyes going back to his original color before turning to me. “Are you ready?” He asked, his brow lifting sarcastically

I turn to look at Sarah. Her eyes told me everything, she had hope her Alpha would come to his senses before it was too late.

But I didn’t want to hold onto that hope knowing that it was just that, hope. Nothing more.

So I tum to beta Samuel and nodded.

“Sarah shall carry you on her back, with that dumb big bag. I do not want your kind, whatever you are near me. I will lead the way and do as my alpha has commanded of me to do. After you’re out of our

borders, you’re no longer my problem.” He utters, looking like he wanted to be anywhere but here at the moment.

His words are harsh and I expect nothing less from him seeing as he hadn’t liked me from the beginning. Especially with what happened with Adrian and all.

He takes a step back after I nod and then another until he starts peeling off his clothes. I tear my eyes away from him quickly, not wanting to see more than I bargained for.

Seconds later the sound of bones cracking filled the air and I wince. This must’ve surely hurt cause it does sound really painful.

When he’s shifted fully he growls. I turn to him but he’s staring at Sarah. With a nod, Sarah hands me the bag that indeed weighs more than I originally thought. It was really heavy.

“I’m going to shift Aurora and when I’m done, you come on my back, okay?” She says softly, smiling a little despite what happened moments ago with beta Samuel.

I nod, not seeing that I was in any position to protest. Seeing my agreement, she sighs and takes a couple of steps back before shifting into her cream colored wolf. She was way smaller than beta Samuel and I can only hope she will be able to hold my weight

and the bag.

I turn to Beta Samuel, his wolf very intimidating. “Is it possible for me to walk? I don’t want to be too much

He growls, his sharp very big canines peeking out in warning. I gulp nodding before making my way to Sarah. She bends as best as she could so I’d be able to come on her. 1

I carefully throw my leg over her, already apologizing for my weight before I am actually on her. When I am fully on her, I place the bag between my legs and held them both with one hand while the other gripped Sarah’s fur as gentle as I can.

Beta Samuel’s eyes grow foggy for a few seconds while staring at Sarah before he tums around and disappears into the thick trees. I unconsciously grip Sarah’s fur tighter knowing she would soon leap into action too.

And I was right, she dashed to keep up with the Beta, her paws digging into the earth. For a small wolf, she was rather quick on her legs.

Before disappearing into the thickness of the trees and bushes, I tumed around to stare at the packhouse I was leaving behind. I blinked away the moisture knowing I would never see him again.

Sarah whines, perhaps sensing my saddened mood. I turn to face the front, biting my lower lip before reassuring her. “I’m okay Sarah. I’ll be okay. “I whispered, bending down so I wouldn’t be sent flying by a lowered branch.

Adrian’s pov

I winced while touching my neck. I can’t believe he had done this to my beautiful neck. All because of her.

“More,” I demanded of Josie, my voice scratchy, as I turn the mirror in a way so I’d see my neck only and not my face. It was still upsetting and quite unbelievable that this had happened to me.

“Yes my future Luna.” Josie squeaks, applying more of the green healing balm on my discolored neck.

I gripped the handle of the mirror tightly, my teeth gritting the more I stared at the ugly purple and blue he left. It had been an entire day and it has not healed completely.

And all this was because of that ugly bitch.

“Add more!” I snarled, causing Josie to jump in startlement and end up throwing the balm on my lap. The green makes a mess on m y beautiful flesh and I saw red. My hands quickly grasp her neck, tightening until her face turned the shade of red. “You dumb bitch,” I growled as best as I could since it hurt to even speak.

Again it was all because of that ugly bitch.

“Sorry- I didn’t-mean-” Josie choked out, her fingers reaching up to try to remove my fingers from her neck.

I snarl and push her away and rise to my feet. She falls to the floor by the force.” You’re lucky I’m not in the mood to kill anyone today.” I spat glaring at her.

She squirms, her hands going to her throat as she stares at me in fear. I rolled my eyes. “Seriously. I barely touched you.” I grumble. So damn weak.

I look for a wipe on the table to wipe down the mess she caused on my thigh. When I am done I stared at her with an arched brow.” Well? Aren’t you going to finish rubbing the ointment on my neck? Get up you ass and stop acting like a wimp.” I spat, fixing myself back on the chair and reached for the mirror.

Josie quickly scurries to her feet, clumsily racing back to me with wide eyes. “Sorry Adr-I mean future Luna.” She winces after catching her almost mistake.

She picks up the fallen balm and started applying it to my bruised skin. I glared at the discoloring, wishing it was on that stupid bitch instead. “I want to sink my claws into her pretty little neck and hear the satisfying sound of her bones breaking when I add pressure. I want that ugly bitch dead.” I snarled, my fingers coming up to touch my neck.

“You wouldn’t have to worry anymore about her. Heard last night that alpha Xavier casted her out. He says he has no need for her anymore.” Josie murmurs quietly, very concentrated on the task at hand.

I froze. Am I hearing correctly? “Are you sure about this Josie?” I asked tightly. I would hate to scar her face with my claws if she were lying.

.

She nods, eyes fixated on my neck. “Yes, I am sure. It was the talk around last night. Some say she was his mate and he didn’t accept her-” She stops and freezes.

“I didn’t mean NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“His mate? I’m his mate. No one else! Xavier was just infatuated with the girl for a little while. It’s clear that he came to his senses. But going as far as to call her his mate? Is our pack filled with idiots?” Igritted out.

How dare they think Xavier would be mated to a girl such as her?

I’m his mate, no one else.

“I suppose you’re right. I’ve never heard of a wolf much less an Alpha being mated to some other creature. I think he only had her here to see if he could figure out what she was. He must’ve figured out she was useless.” Josie whispered, going back to her task when she realized I wouldn’t snap her neck.

“Exactly. She’s nothing to him but just a useless ugly whore,” I smirked, pleased that he had casted her out and I no longer had competition. Though I wished he had let me sink my claws into her belly to perhaps damage her womb so she’d not make ugly creatures like her before she left.

Lily’s pov

“You’re gripping my fur too tightly Lily. Ease your grip.” Chris whined through the link.

I rolled my eyes bending down so I’d not get smacked by a huge hanging branch.

“If you would at least be a little more graceful I wouldn’t have to grip your fur tightly. I have lost count of the many times I was nearly thrown off

I screeched when Chris’s huge wolf jumped over a huge fallen tree. I gripped his fur tightly, scared to topple and fall to my death.

“Did you not demand me to catch up to them as quickly as I can?” He grunts through the link, jumping over a bush.

Seriously he could’ve just passed around the damn thing.

“Yes, I do recall I did. But not to the extent of losing my life before I even get there!” 1 snapped and then squealed when a branch smacked me in the face. I was at least grateful that it wasn’t a huge branch.

“And if I recall, you were seconds ago whining about me being a slowpoke,” Chris added which was not needed.

I glared down at him, annoyed that he was trying to make a useless point. Men. Stupid fools they are.

“You can be fast and careful at the same time or are you too much of an idiot to know that?” I snapped, tempted to smack his big wolf head.

His ears suddenly perk and he picks up speed.” They’re not too far ahead. I’ll reach them in a minute top.”He boasted.

I rolled my eyes. “As long as I reach there in one piece then good. But if I die before the poison kills me then I am haunting you for the rest of your life.” I wamed, gripping his fur even more tightly knowing he was about to sprint like his life depended on it.

( Aurora’s pov »

I don’t know how long we were racing through the woods. But all I knew was the unsettling feeling in my gut the farther away I get. It was like my body, my soul was bleeding with every distance that was placed between Xavier and I.

I gasped, my heart aching.

My hands tremble and I clutched at Sarah’s fur tightly in fear I’d fall. The sound of their paws hitting the soil falls on deaf ears as m y vision grows a little hazy.

What was going on?

Was I getting a heart attack?

I opened my mouth to speak but nothing comes out. I shake my head, now hearing a ringing in my ears.

I look at Beta Samuel ahead of us, silently hoping he’d tum around to see me. Not that I had hope he’d care anyway.

But by some miracle, he suddenly skids to a stop. Sarah’s fast sprint tums into a jog before she stops beside the Beta.

I pull in some air, my slightly blurry vision looking around. Why did he stop all of a sudden? Was something wrong?

Beta Samuel turns around, his bones breaking as he turns into his human form. I tore my eyes away, trying to calm my breathing. I f something wasn’t wrong around here. Then something was definitely wrong with me.

“Chris is trailing behind us,” He says in confusion. I pinched my eyes shut and then opened them to see if it would help but it didn’t

My ears ring again and the sudden urge to go back to Xavier claims me. I grip Sarah’s fur tightly until she whines. I open my mouth to apologize but nothing comes out. An image of Xavier emerges in my head and I pant. I want to go to him.

My mouth opens again but the only thing that comes out is a whisper. “Xavier,”

“What the hell is wrong with her?” I could hear beta Samuel question as my skin starts to bum.

Xavier.

I want Xavier.

I want to go back to him.

But I swallow the plea, my hands knocking over the heavy bag and it falls to the ground with a heavy thud.

I clumsily move off Sarah, feeling the pull to go back to the packhouse. Back to Xavier.

I staggered to my feet, my ears ringing as I turned around to head back the way we came from. But a hand grips my upper arm, firmly and almost bruisingly

“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” Beta Samuel snarls angrily. But I can’t seem to care what he says or bother to answer him. Instead, I try to tug my arm out of his hold.

“Xavier. I want Xavier.’I whispered, my throat growing parched. Something felt off. Through my slightly blurred vision, I could see Lily emerging out of the trees on top of the familiar wolf, Chris. Her worried gaze falls on me. “Oh thanik God I found you before it was too late – Aurora what’s wrong!?” Lily rushed out, jumping off the big wolf and running towards me.

“Unhand her Samuel!” She growls. Samuel quickly retracts his hands.

Her amber eyes, similar to her brother’s burn through me. It made the fire worst. The craving worst. The urging to go back worse.

“Xavier, I want Xavier.” I pleaded, my ears ringing.

“What’s happening to her Samuel?” Lily asked in alarm.

“I don’t Bones crack and Sarah is the one to respond. “The bond. It must be the bond not allowing her to leave.”
