Chapter Three: Kill her!!!

"Stay right here!" The guard ordered as he threw me to the bare floor. My skin scraped against the floor and blood started to drip out.

I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I watched the guard go back in.

At this point, I couldn't believe that I was rejected twice, in two days.

"Haha!!" I burst into a peal of mocking laughter and it echoed through the empty night. I was all alone, outside while everyone else was in merry.

"What have I done to deserve this?" I said to myself, in disbelief. I tried to understand why the Moon Goddess would make me suffer such a fate.

"What should we do, Wolfie?" I asked my wolf which had gone incredibly silent. I could feel its pain too and I felt bad.

Why does my wolf have to be bonded to me?

I couldn't give her a mate and I couldn't even stand up for myself.

We were both doomed!

"Let's get away!" I heard my wolf's voice, suddenly and I went still.

I wasn't sure about what I had heard and I asked, "What did you say?"

"Let's escape from here! We cannot continue to stay here! We will be crushed!" My wolf said to me and I went into overdrive.

My lips and hands shook as I reasoned what I had heard.

It was a known fact that I would be mocked to no end if I go back home. I couldn't stay back at the palace as well and I would definitely be punished by the prince.

For the first time, in what seemed like a long while, I wanted to take hold of my life.

Immediately, I stood up to my feet. I couldn't let anyone control me anymore. Without thinking twice, I dashed away, running out of the palace which was too wide.

The guards that had been stationed at the gate, were having the time of their lives to even care about a flimsy lady.

"We are out!" I said my wolf as I ran past the gate.

I looked left and right and it was just dense forest all around.

I didn't know my way around and I didn't know my destination. I just wanted to get away and in the next second, I dashed to the right, running into the forest.

It was dense and thick but then I kept running, through a small pathway. It was a bit dark and I couldn't clearly see what was before me.

"Ahh!!" I screamed, suddenly as my leg dashed over a large rock. I came tumbling down and my body scraped against sharp twigs all around.

"Hmm..." I groaned, in pain and my eyes were dizzy as hell.

My hands were bloodied as they were pierced with sharp twigs.

My knees ached painfully, and I couldn't even stand up on my feet.

I couldn't go on anymore and I could feel my wolf, scratching against our bond, in urgency.

It was greatly worried, and in the next second, it forced itself out.

My body slowly morphed and I was standing on all fours, in my wolf form.

"Awooooo!!!" My wolf howled to the heavens and in the next second, it dashed deep into the forest.

For hours, I continued to run, however, I suddenly dashed against a barrier.

My wolf's body suddenly came crashing down, weakened by the scent in the air.

What the fuck was going on?

I was worried as my wolf body lay weakly on the bare floor.

We were both weak, suddenly and I couldn't make out what was wrong.

"The bloody wolf got right in!" I heard a loud voice and immediately, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the air.

"What's going on?" I yelled in my head as my body shook and I started to convulse. In the next second, I morphed into my human form and I lay naked on the cold and muddy floor.

"Oh, she is a nice catch!" I heard another voice while I was slowly falling in and out of consciousness. I didn't know what was in the air but I felt really weak just by inhaling the air.

"Shut it, Groot! Get her and tie her up! We caught a spy." The owner of the first voice ordered and I panicked. I tried to move but I could only do so weakly.

I couldn't be caught and as I tried to get away, I felt strong hands around my legs.

"Ahh!!" I screamed as I was dragged across the dirty ground.

"Let me go!" I yelled as I thrashed around. My bare skin rubbed against the harsh ground and blood started to spill again. I had not even healed from my previous injuries and I was already getting hurt.

"Shut up! You bitch!" The man holding onto me yelled and savagely kicked against my stomach. I felt bouts of pain and it was like my soul left my body.

Soon, I was tied to a tree and my body fell forward, limply.

"Where do you think she is from?" One of the men before me asked and I tried to speak up. However, I was caught off.

"It's obvious she is a spy. Probably from the Dark Wand Pack!" They concluded and I shook my head, quickly.

"I'm... I'm not a spy!" I said, in defense but my words were paid on deaf ears. I was scared for my life knowing the people before me were a group of rogues and they would never spare my life.

"Can you prove it?" One of the men asked and I went still.

There was nothing to say to them to prove my innocence. I couldn't say I fled from the palace as that would make matters worse.

From the look of things, the rogues had a deep animosity for the Dark Wand Pack. How would they react if they found out that I was supposed to be the Prince's bride? I would be beheaded immediately!

My silence was long overdue and the next words I heard caused my eyes to go wide, in fear and trepidation.

"Kill her!" One of the men ordered, cruelly, and immediately, turned around.
