The Stained Omega

Chapter 104

Lost innocence.

(Anna)

A tickling at my feet wakes me up, the throbbing in my face makes itself known the second I try to lift

my head. Opening my eyes seems a little too hard right now so I try to smell who is messing with me

now, nothing comes to me except for my own blood.

“You have to run Anna, he’s going to kill you.” I hear Leon whisper over the rushing in my ears.

“Why?” I ask Leon while I spit out the blood currently gathering in my

mouth.

“Because he’s insane. He wants his own Pack and can’t handle the fact that he won’t ever have one.”

Leon explains as I feel my ankle be freed from its confinement.

“Why did you do this?” I ask considering he still didn’t answer me, maybe I wasn’t clear the first time.

“I’m so sorry Anna,” Leon whispers as he sits me up and pushes the hair out of my face, I manage to

open one of my eyes and I am met with a puffy-faced Leon. He looks thinner than I remember, like he’s

been on some kind of crazy diet or he’s not been eating thanks to the stress of his betrayal.

“We trusted you. James trusted you.” I say to him, I watch as a tear

escapes

and rolls down Leon’s face.

“Let me help put it right, run please.” He begs me as he lifts my arms. and pulls me from the floor, “your

face looks worse than it is. She

stopped once you passed out, if you run East you will get back to the Pack. If you hit the river you are

going the right way, I marked it so I knew how to get home.” I look at him with sad eyes as he pushes

me towards the door, we both know he can’t come back to the Pack, Fraction will kill him for his

betrayal. “Look after the kids for me?” I nod my head as he opens the door, beyond it is inky darkness

which tells me I’ve been out cold for some time. Squeezing Leon’s hand I quickly dash out of the door

and into the darkness.

I know this might be a trap and any one of them could come running after me at any second but I have

to get to Thomas. If I can get to Thomas I can keep running and never look back, there might have

been. a massive hiccup but the plan is still the same.

‘I can’t see a da mned thing,’ I complain to Winter.

‘Let me out, I will get us home.’ Winter tells me as I almost run into a tree trunk.

‘Swiftmane isn’t our home,’ I tell her quickly.

‘Fine whatever. Let me out before you kill us both, I refuse to die of a snapped neck like some common

she wolf.’ I roll my eyes at Winter as I stop and start to relax my b*dy. It’s been a while since I’ve let

Winter out so she isn’t coming as easily as she normally would, it takes me a solid minute to give her

the space she needs to burst forward. My breath whooshes from me as I drop to my hands and knees,

I’m panting as I feel Winter try to take over my b*dy.

‘Da mn it Anna, you have left this too long. This is going to hurt,’ a cry of pain is ripped from my throat

as I feel Winter force her way out. After what feels like an age I am watching Winter’s white paws dig at

the muddy ground as she tries to bring herself up. I can see better instantly, Winter wasn’t lying when

she said she can see better than This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

me.

I feel Winter shake her fur out before she goes still as stone, I feel her hackles rise as she senses

something in the darkness. I dare not ask her what is wrong because I know that breaking her attention

right now could be the difference between life and death. I know there are people out here who want to

kill me so not listening to Winter’s instincts. would be foolish. I hear the growling coming from behind us

at the same time as Winter does, spinning around to face her attacker. I see a bright ginger wolf edging

their way towards us, she’s walking slowly but also with purpose. Her front is low to the ground like

she’s ready to pounce any second.

‘Faye.’ I gasp.

‘Mine,’ snarls Winter as she starts charging towards Faye. I close my eyes as the two wolves race

towards each other and collide right there. in the middle of the forest. Winter is on her hind legs and is

using her front paws to scratch down Faye, she’s quick and manages to roll to the side to avoid the

attack. Winter lands back on all fours and spreads her front legs and lowers her head, with a menacing

growl she waits to see what Faye will do next.

Faye quickly rights herself after the tumble along the ground and comes up snarling while shaking the

leaves from her fur. Locking eyes with Winter she starts growling just as loudly as Winter, I can’t help

but feel we are finally in the challenge that should have happened that day in the clearing. I watch

Faye’s tail swish low and menacing, I know she’s doing it on purpose to distract Winter but lucky for

me. Winter is not so easily distracted.

‘We can’t kill her,’ I tell Winter as I watch Faye put more pressure on her front paws, she’s getting ready

to charge. ‘Winter!’ I yell as Faye lunges forward with a burst of speed, Winter steps to the right and

Faye sails right past her. Faye is fast but Winter is faster and she manages to clamp her jaw onto

Faye’s hind leg. I feel her teeth. puncture the skin and muscle as Faye howls in pain, Winter uses her

shock to our advantage and uses the leverage she has on her leg to pull her backwards until she’s flat

on the forest floor. I watch as Faye’s wolf tries to dig her front claws into the dirt but it does nothing to

stop Winter from dragging her backwards until we are towering over her.

I watch in horror as the fur on Faye’s wolf starts to recede into her b*dy, she keeps going until a n*ked

and blo ody Faye is laying under Winter’s form.

“Please, don’t.” She begs as Winter presses her nose into the back of her head, she’s forcing her to

submit. Right now she’s the boss and Faye will bow to her.

‘We can’t Winter, this is not right!’ I yell at Winter, I think she’s listening to me as she walks backwards

and moves off Faye’s b*dy. Faye lays there shaking for a second before rolling to her back and looking

up at Winter, I can only imagine how it looks to be staring at a wolf with blood all over their jaw. Winter

growls down at Faye who quickly closes her eyes and turns her head to the left.

‘There she submitted, leave her. Just run Winter.’ I beg her, I can feel the rage coursing through her as

she stares at the woman who has caused us so much pain.

‘No.’ Winter says as she lunges and drags her claws down Faye’s b*dy. Faye screams and gargles

blood as inter claws puncture her skin. I can feel the blood spurting up at Winter’s stomach as Winter

works her claws from Faye’s shoulders right down to her hip.

With a power I didn’t even know I had, I pull Winter back and I find myself next to Faye as she bleeds

out from the wounds Winter hast inflicted.

“Oh, Goddess. No, no no no no. What did you do?” I cry as I put my hands on Faye to try and stop the

bleeding, she’s stopped moving so I know in my heart she’s already dead. “Why did you do this? This

who we are!” I cry over the blo ody b*dy, standing up I look down at myself, I’m covered head to toe in

blood. There is not an inch of me that isn’t dripping in Faye’s blood, bending over I empty my stomach

right there on the forest floor.

“Anna?” I hear the shocked gasp as I turn and see Fraction, Darryl James and Patrick all standing a

few feet from me. All have wide eyes and keep looking from me to the dead b*dy at my feet.

“I begged her not to.” I whisper as Fraction comes over to me, I flinch. as he reaches out to touch me..

“It’s alright little wolf, you’re safe now.” Fraction whispers, I don’t miss the look he passes the guys over

his shoulder. He looks afraid, they all do.
