Chapter 11
*****Axel's POV*****
Leaving her to come in to this other room was killing me.
My wolf was not happy about the decision in the slightest despite me letting him out for a run to ease the tensions earlier. He would want to mark her instantly... and I don't even know if she would survive it at this point and I wasn't willing to risk it until she was healthier.
My wolf being the top ranked Alpha of all, has never been denied or rejected by anything or anyone in our entire life and who can only guess what would happen if he thought for a minute that his mate didn't want him... especially after the length of time that we've both waited for her.
Believe it or not, it was my demon side that seemed to be the only sane one in this full scenario and that in itself was rare. That was the only side of me that seemed to understand what needed to be done for Dani's sake.
I sigh, dropping down into the spare rooms bed. I already couldn't wait for tomorrow for my Mother and Father to hear the news of my mate... since by this point in my life we all just assumed I would never have one.
Dani has sparked a real change in my life, I feel like a King again and it's only been a day...
I knew she was watching the news channel when I was in the shower and I couldn't quite grasp what she thought about the whole thing since she soon changed it over to something else.
I mind-linked Grey during the car ride home to process the inspection papers and told him to send them out to every pack across the land, so I guess the news got out pretty fast.
That for sure would have sent out the fear to every lower scale Alpha, knowing that I myself in person, would be coming to their pack for inspection and that I would have the power to strip titles away if necessary.
Despite there being laws, I've known for years that Revnok had grown extremely corrupt, evil and overall decayed. This was mainly thanks to the one other person in this world that I fucking hate... and for years I just allowed him to get away with it due to the simple reason that I didn't care enough to stop him.
Over my years of seeing thousands of other pack members meet their soul mates... which is the only real purpose for any wolf in this world... I couldn't help but feel nothing but hatred and anger towards this place and it's people.
I did not care if they rotted or if Revnok fell to ashes... I seriously believed this whole time that I wasn't deserving of the one thing I had been entitled to my whole life - my mate. I have ignored my rights as the King and my people for far too long... but now... Enough was enough!
Imagine that? The cursed King himself mateless... until now. Things are about to change around here and it won't be easy but I can promise it will get done one way or another. I do not want Dani or our future family to ever feel unsafe or threatened in their own land.
On that note, I decided to close my eyes in an attempt to sleep... the quicker I fall asleep the quicker the night will pass and I can spend more time with her again...
My precious mate...
*****Dani's POV*****
I woke up to the sound of loud banging and growls coming from down the hall causing me to stir slightly, as I attempt to blink the tiredness away from my eyes...
What the-
I shot upright at the next thud which most definitely struck against the bedroom door, another dangerously loud growl following straight after the collision.
Oh shit... it must be him...
This was it... this was the monster coming to kill me... this was the sick joke all along - treat me well before ripping me apart!
My eyes water as I grip the soft sheets tightly to my chest listening to the intense growls and thuds coming from the hall. I couldn't scream nor could I barely breathe as everything was happening so fast...
I need to do something before he unlocks the door!
Another loud bang crashes against the frame, the animalistic roars coming from the other side - enough to send me practically leaping out of the bed and onto the hard floor in a frenzy.
Screw the pains in my ankles and feet I was not only being hunted by my deranged father this time but instead - a real life monster!
I crawled incredibly fast towards the sliding balcony doors in the room before twisting and turning at the lock in order to get them open...
The next bang sounded against the door, followed by a loud crack this time as the thick wood became one stage closer to splitting in half!
The click of the inside lock made my heart skip a beat as I frantically pulled at the door to move it to the side - tossing my body out and on to the balcony before slamming it shut again behind me.
My tears at this point were dripping on to my shirt as my chest heaved up and down dramatically. I watched through the thick glass as he crashed against the wood another time, allowing for me to catch a glimpse of it's thick black fur.
That was enough for me to spring into action again, searching around for an escape route to get off the balcony...
I drag my body up to look over the balcony edge, noticing the large drop below that I most definitely would not survive if I jumped... what the fuck do I do now!
I hear the final crash, knowing that the beast had finally broken through the wood and was no doubt, seconds away from sniffing me out in order to kill me.
I notice the large moon above us, noting that it was a really funny red colour...
Fuck the moon Dani RUN!
I snap out of my trance immediately and decide that the safest option would be to attempt to cross over on to the next balcony. I notice a small ledge sticking out of the wall in between that I believed I could potentially crawl across - that is if I kept good balance.
I gulp at the last thought, but with little time to think further, I hear the slight cracking of glass followed by another deadly growl causing me to turn and gasp at the image looking back at me from the other side of the window...
Thee LARGEST wolf, I believe to ever exist! I mean not that I've seen lots of them in my time, but that thing... was humongous! I study it's thick shiny black and grey coat... watching as it's red eyes take a moment to stare back into my own.
Not long passes before it turns slightly again, only to slam its large body against the glass causing it to crack even further.
Fuck!
This creature wants my blood!
I painfully swung one leg over the balcony, only to be stopped mid way by what sounded like a whine?
Did that thing seriously just whine?
I shake out of my thoughts, swinging my other leg over before preparing to make the small jump onto the thin ledge...
The shattering of glass soon follows as I suck in a deep breath and aim to leap for the ledge with a deafening scream.
My first foot only managed to catch the edge, causing me to slip and fall - to what I thought was soon to be my death.
Before I hit the floor, however -
A large mouth reached over the balcony, catching a tight grip of my t-shirt in order to prevent my fall.
My heart pounds out loudly in my ears as I feel my limp body being hoisted back up and onto the glass covered balcony once again. I feel myself being dropped on to the floor by the beast, knowing that any moment now I was going to be feasted upon.
I hug my knees to my chest on the floor, gasping for deep breaths as I pray for it to be over quick at least...
Then the thing whines once more, catching me off guard for the second time tonight with the strange noise... why did it sound so... sad?
