The innocent reject novel Chapter 21

Return

Aleka's pov

The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies

This is what people say about betrayal and right now I just realised how true this statement was

Jane

The girl who I looked upto

The girl who I thought was an incarnation of moon goddess

The girl who I trusted blindly was the one who backstabbed me

I thought she was perfect but how wrong I was

Her perfection had flaws that overshadowed her good intentions

Hell I even trusted her with the one person who meant the most to me

Aaron

When she was the one from whom I should have protected him

How stupid can I be!!how could I trust her so much!!!

I thought she was better than me

That she loved him like I couldn't

Pleased him in the ways I couldn't

Support him in the times I couldn't

She will protect him with her own life

Was her promise to me before I left

But was a blunt white lie just like she was

I never broke a promise before

But this time I will

She decided to break it

And now I was going to break mine

I am returning back to protect what once was mine

I am coming back Jane

Just pray that I have mercy on you because the one word that doesn't exist in my dictionary is forgiveness.

These thoughts are going on in my mind while I am running at full speed back to the place I left few hours ago

My stamina is 10 times that of a normal human because of staying and running in these forests for last 5 years

You can say that these forests are my 1st home

I felt safe here but right now I need to cross them as fast as possible

It was midnight already and the full moon's light was showing me my way through the forest.

My patience was running out because of the worst case scenarios my brain was building

What if Aaron was not able to defend himself?

What if they hurt Dan,Emma and Angela?

What if I am not able to reach on time?

What if that red eyed wolf won?

That red eyed wolf was very fast and strong ,but was he strong enough to defeat Aaron!!

All these questions were forcing me to move forward at my full speed.

I was halfway through when I felt an excruciating pain in my abdomen

It was so intense that my breathing became rugged and I fell on the ground holding my stomach.

My vision was getting blurred with each passing second

To make matters worse I started coughing

Through my blurred vision I could see that black liquid covering the ground at the place I was coughing.

No not now

Please just let me see him once

Just let me see Aaron before my wolf takes control

I just want to make sure he is alright

The pain got now accompanied by a burning sensation and this time it was not only in my abdomen but around my neck as well

It started at my marking point in my neck and spread all around my neck till my chest

It was like something was choking me cutting my air supply

Now I knew what was happening.

Aaron was marking Jane

The ceremony has started and their marking has completed

I remembered the wolf saying that they will attack after the ceremony which means I got to hurry up

I tried lifting myself up from the ground

I can't stop

I have to continue

Again that coughing started and this time it was worse than before.

I understood what was happening to my body

Aaron marking Jane has weakening me.

My body could no longer resist my wolf

My wolf was getting stronger and my human self was dying

But I had to stop him today
