Successful escape from the Monster Alpha?

Marsai’s POV:

It’s not as if I wasn't shocked, I was, but I've gone through so many emotions today that I felt numb. I mean, what could I do? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

This isn't my fate, and I haven't accepted it but….he….he is too powerful to oppose.

"Pardon me, Alpha," a gruff voice from the small crowd said and I turned to see who it was. It was Dante Oberon, one of the five pack elders. He was in his late fifties and the second oldest Elder.

"What is it?" Fenrir's voice held no respect whatsoever for the elderly man. He was like a brute. A good looking brute. What is it with his man? what imprudence?!

Elder Dante seemed to ignore the rudeness in him because he continued speaking. "It's not possible for…a wedding to take place tonight."

Fenrir stood up instantly, his powerful frame casting a shadow at everyone before him as a deep frown appeared on his face, "Why?"

"The death of her parents forbids it." he answered.

"It's true, Alpha" Elder Cross Everon, the fourth Elder concurred. "It is taboo and bad luck for a marriage to take place on the day of a funeral.”

"Yes" yes, yes.. Everyone agreed. It was true.

"I don't care,” ofcourse.

"But, Alpha—" Rudolph started, but Fenrir cut him off.

"I said, I don't care!"

I can't bring more bad luck on the obvious one I already have…

"Please" yes, I begged. Even if I was to be forced to marry this man, I wouldn't want my marriage to be filled with excess misery.

He turned to me, the stoic look in his eyes, still there.

I gulped as I stared into the orbs of his eyes, searching for any underlying traces of empathy. "it's…..an abomination," I began, "if the marriage takes place…..our…our future will be affected."

He raised an eyebrow at me and I sighed again, "even our…the pups." I reluctantly added.

For a moment, he had a quizzical look on his face as if he didn't understand what I was saying, then later he chuckled slightly.

I hate to see the smirk on his face.

"Another day then, but soon," he said, evident satisfaction in his voice over what I said. Pups? With a monster like him? Heaven forbid it, I wouldn't even bear the thought of giving my body to him, let alone have…. his pups!

I only said that to persuade him, nothing more. And he better don’t even dream of it!

I looked up to see him striding away from the throne room, everyone adjusting to the side to let him pass. Just look at him, not a fibre of respect in him. Pushing past even the elders themselves.

"Marsai” he called and I frowned inwardly. What now?

I unwillingly walked toward him, as he waited by the door for me. When I reached him, he fiercely grabbed my hand and took me out of the room with him.

We walked in silence along the hallway, I tried not to look at him. My gaze was somewhere else, it roamed the walls—I needed to escape.

"Take me to your room" I heard him say and my head snapped around.

"What?" What the hell is he saying?

"Take me to your room." he repeated. I gulped as I saw my sad reflection in his eyes. My room, take you to my room to…. heavens no!

I stood and glared at him, until I realized that he wouldn’t bulge. Reluctantly, I started walking and he followed. Was I to actually take him to my room? Did I even have a choice? I sighed as I continued to walk, the door to my room was a few steps away. My body was hurting from the stress and my headache from all the crying.

I finally reached the door to my room and I opened the door, stepping aside for him to walk in. He looked around, his grey eyes taking everything in, I heard him sniff the air with his eyes closed for a second.

"What scent do you use?" He asked me and I frowned. What a strange question!

"Umm…roses."

"Where are they grown?" He asked, looking at me all curious.

"They are wild roses from the mountains." I answered, and saw him smile as he kept looking around. I was irritated by his smile. Could he still smile? Doesn't he have a sense of empathy?

I was standing close to the door and it was open. Marsai, don't be stupid now. Oh…Marsai, this is your chance. Run.

Two more steps and I bolted like the wind out of there. Forget shoes, they flew out my feet in seconds. I turned the whole house, going behind pillars, just zig-zagging in case he was following me. I didn’t even know why I was doing it, it was probably the adrenaline rushing through my brain. I found the back door and I ran in the direction of the woods.

Stones pricked my feet, but I ran, the snow bit into my skin, but I kept on running.

The moon was still up in the sky which made me wonder if time had passed at all. Heaving a deep breath, I shifted wolf, my dress ripping to remain in rags on my body. But it was okay, it didn't matter.

I looked ahead, just a few steps away was the border. When I'm past the border, I will be okay. I will be safe. It was when I thought everything would be okay that I heard the biggest bark I have ever heard in my life, and before I could turn around, I had been pushed to the ground.

The monster had caught up with me,

It hurt so bad, but the feeling was not as bad as the fear that gripped me as I looked at the huge black wolf pinning me down, and I whimpered in fear. The rage in Fenrir's eyes weakened and terrified me, I was so scared that with that sharp claw of his, he would end my life.
