7: Angry Lycan King

ADRIANA'S POV

I strain my ears to hear their conversation but I can’t make out what they are saying but they werestill talking, they look a bit more aggressive now. I curse and start pacing around the room. Eventhough I wanted to blame him for everything that was happening, this wouldn't have happened ifhe'd just let me go when I told him, before they got here. I knew this would happen. He just didn'tunderstand, or he didn't want to.

I was surprised he still wanted to fight for me instead of turning me in, I was just trouble for him.Their voices get louder, I get up and walk toward them again. It seemed like the guards were tryingto search the house.

Aiden didn't agree to it and they immediately reach the conclusion that he is indeed hidingsomething, they try to push over him and he resists. One of them tries to hit him and that causes afight to break out.

I watch in horror as Aiden fights the men, my heart racing as I realize that I am in even more dangernow. My feet drags me out, still staying out of their sight but also outside the bedroom. I'm aware itis dumb but the fear of some of them entering through another part of the house made me leave.Aiden shifted into his wolf form, his muscles rippling with power as he snarled at the fivewerewolves standing before him. They bared their teeth and lunged at him, but Aiden was ready forthem. Lycans were slightly different from us werewolves when they shifted. They are bigger andmore scary looking than normal wolves, they look more savage and primal than them. Just the sightof them screams violent. They had sharper senses than we werewolves and they were a lot stronger.He fought with precision, his strength unmatched, his claws tearing through their fur and flesh as heexpertly took down each of them. The other guards were no match for Aiden, who had skill andexperience on them. He makes them look like rookies.

As the last werewolf guard from my father's Pack falls to the ground, Aiden lets out a triumphanthowl. He had won the fight and protected me from the threat of the guards. His fur was bloodied,and he was panting slightly from the exertion.

He releases a menacing grow! that makes the few wolves that weren't fully passed out retreat. Hedisappeared down in between a few trees and I quickly started walking out, scared of being awayfrom his sight. As soon as I make it out of the door, I see him walking back toward me in his humanform, changed into a fresh set of clothes.

He didn't need to say a word, he just stretched his hand out for me. I didn't think twice beforeaccepting, and we started to run.

As we ran deeper into the woods, my legs began to feel heavy and my breath grew short. Aidendidn't seem to be slowing down but I was seconds away from toppling over. I tried to tug his handto tell him I couldn't breathe, when I stumbled on a stray branch and fell to the ground.

The small whimper I let out gains Aiden’s attention and he stops, he turns back towards me, concernetched on his face.

"Are you okay?" he asks, his voice laced with worry, he gives me his hand which I take gratefully andhe pulls me to my feet.

I shake my head, my eyes sting and I let the tears gush out.

"l can't go on," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry, Aiden." At that moment everyinsulting word my father and brothers, and even everyone in the pack said came back to me fullforce, and I felt like they were right.

I was just a good for nothing, weak omega. I couldn't do anything right, not even saving my ownlife.

Aiden crouches down and scoops me up in his arms. "It's okay,” he said, his voice soothing, itsilenced the mean ones in my head calling me names and reminding me I wasn't good enough. "I'llcarry you. We can't stop now, they must already be on their way.”

“But you can"

"Hold on tight," he says, cutting me off. "I won't let you fall.” he assures..

I wrap my arms around his neck and hold on to him like my life depends on it. Keeping stride, heruns through the woods, the wind brushing through us and adding to the rush of adrenaline I wasfeeling.

I open my eyes when he suddenly stops, my heart instantly starts beating faster for an entirelydifferent reason.

Aiden growls out, the sound filled with anguish. His hold on me tightens as he lowers himself to theground. When he is sure I wouldn't be hurt if I fall, he releases me and I roll on the ground. I quicklyget up and try to rush to him when I feel it too

A strong alpha aura that has me freezing right where I stand takes over the entire place. I shudderwith fear as realization dawns on me.

Lycan Alphas can use their aura to manipulate whoever they want. It could only mean one thing. Myheart sinks and I look around with my eyes bulging, waiting for him to appear out of nowhere anddrag me back to my father's pack. That is if he doesn't kill me first.

Terror overrides my common sense as I turn toward Aiden, the fear clearly showing in my eyes. "It'shim," I whisper. “He is here.”

He seems to know exactly who I mean, and I watch the recognition flash in his eyes as heunderstands the severity of the situation. The person I had been running away from. I'm sure he isfeeling betrayed now, as I have made him betray his king.

“You should go,” Aiden managed to whisper, his voice sounding low. I shook my head, tears rollingdown my cheeks. I couldn't leave him here, he would be killed without being given a moment todefend himself. All he did was try to help me.

“I can't="I'm in the process of saying that when I feel the energy change around us. It wasn'tpeaceful before, but right now, it was downright terrifying.

I shiver like a cat in the cold when his hulking figure emerges from the darkness, his eyes glowing aweird shade of golden mixed with black.

Alpha Xander! I knew it but seeing him made a sudden terror roll through me.

"You can't run from me, Adriana," he growled, sounding every bit pissed off right now. My legsquivered as my eyes landed on him, standing on the clearing he appeared from. His stance wasthreatening, he looked like he was just waiting for me to make a stupid move.

I couldn't run, he was faster and Aiden was here. I wouldn't heave him alone.

"You belong to me now.” There was a dangerous and cruel smirk on his face, he stood only a fewfeet away from me before brushing back his raven black stray from his forehead. His obsidian eyesheld nothing but promise of agonizing torture as he glowers down at me.

Alpha Xander's eyes move to Aiden who still hasn't gotten up from the ground, he releases amenacing chuckle.

“Your name!” He commands the man on the floor. I watch Aiden’s body shake as he probably triesto defy his order. In the end, he gives in and calls out his name.

"Aiden Caliver.” Alpha Xander makes a sound at the back of his throat, like he was registering thename on his head.

“Well, Aiden, I'll give you two options. Explain what you're doing with my future wife or trysomething stupid and die.” his voice sounded casual, like he didn't just threaten to kill someone."And you, dear future wife,” he turns toward me, his smile chilling me to the bones. “I hope youknow your mistake is one I'll not overlook, or forgive.” his voice was even colder when he said thesecond word if that was possible.

I stare at the man, speechless and scared of doing something so little as breathing.

“I do not fancy repeating myself, but if you force me too, that will have its consequences.” he turnsback to Aiden who is still on the ground. Writhing in pain, don't know what he is doing to him buthe looks pale.

I steal a glance at him and note the discreet move of his head. I try to shake mine but he closes hiseyes, telling me not to argue. I somehow understand what he is saying, and when he gets off hisback in one swift move, I make a run for it.

I hear Xander's angry growl from close behind me but I don't wait to see. I think Aiden attacks himbut I don't stop to confirm, I just do as he silently commanded. I run

I'm running between treelines, not even looking at where my feet are landing. My brain registeredonly one word and that was to run, and it did just that.

I hear the loud heavy footsteps behind me and something sinks in my stomach. I panic and I try topush myself harder, I try to force my aching legs to go faster.

I don't make it another minute before I feel a large body colliding with mine, tackling me to theground. I cry out in pain as my hand makes a sickening sound.

“That was very stupid of you, little wolf.” Xander's angry face comes into view. He grips both of myhands and pins them above my head. I wiggle from beneath him, trying to somehow throw him offthough he had to weigh at least two hundred pounds. I'm not successful at all.

"Get away from me,” I cry out, still fighting. The hand that was restraining mine tightens and Iscream louder when the pain shoots up my arm. I think I dislocated one arm.

“Shut up!” he commands and I shake in fear, just from the deep baritone of his voice.

When I see that fighting him is fruitless, I stop. “Please just let me go,” I said before I broke down,crying.

“You are asking for one thing I cannot and will not give you, dear wife.” His voice was unforgiving ashe narrates. I shake my head, hot tears streaming down the sides of my face.

I turn, resuming my pathetic attempt at trying to free my hand. I catch a little movement on myright and I freeze, I don't get to make sense of what it is before a large wolf comes hurtling. Hepushes Xander off me.

"Aiden, no!" I screamed at him at the top of my lungs to stop, but it was too late. He was alreadymaking a run for it, before he could get to the man that he'd thrown so hard, he was at a littledistance away from us, i see him shake and change into a magnificent black wolf, if i thought Aidenwas big before, then alpha Xander was almost twice the size of him.

“Run, please.” I choke out, coughing violently as I try to force the words out. I needed him tosurrender and not try to fight Xander. He was merciless, and ruthless, and this was exactly what hewas looking for.

There is no way Aiden is coming out of that fight alive.
