Chapter 2

Elizabeth’s POV My world stood still as people cheered his decision. It felt like a dream that one minute, people admire you or even envied you and the next minute, they are clamouring to send you away. “You will choose to listen to her and not me!” I scarred and everywhere went silent. “I curse you all! I curse you. What have I done to deserve this.” No one replied me as they began to murmur again. “Please give me my child.” I suddenly said as if just realizing I had something to lose. I rushed towards Zander who looked at me indifferently. I felt myself being lifted off the ground and no matter how hard I tried to fight it, I couldn’t escape from my captors who kept walking until the reached the pack's border. I was thrown unceremoniously into a ditch outside the border. They left without a word. There are two challenges here, it would either take me too long to get out or take me too long and still wouldn’t be able to get out. The cloud was darkening already and if it rained, it would be even harder to get out. “Somebody help!” I shouted and began to frantically try to crawl my way out of the ditch. Love did this to me and the sudden realization of that made my hear hurt and for the first time since this whole situation, a tear flowed down my face. I cannot cry now. What is the point of crying when I cannot do anything about my miserable situation? I gave been trying to get out for over one hour now and I was starting to get tired. At this point, I have finally accepted fate that if it rains, I would die in the ditch until I heard a voice from above me. “Hey, give me your hand.” That was hope. The answer to my silent prayer. I didn’t waste my time to reach out to the person whom I was yet to see their face until I got out of the ditch only to see a female with two other male. They looked scary and as they stared at me as if waiting for an explanation, I got scared. I had thought they should pity me and maybe offer me some water or anything but they stood there waiting for me to say anything. I shivered slightly as my eyes went from one to another. “There’s no need to frighten the poor girl. You saved her like you wanted to, let’s go.” A voice called from the distance and the guys around me rolled their eyes as they began to leave buy before the lady could make her decision, I had zeroed down I have nowhere to go and I cannot even try to return to my old pack. I needed refuge and a plan. “Take me with you.” That was the first thing that came out of my mouth to them. Even I was surprised that I said that. “No way,” that was the grumpy voice that had called them but now, there was a face to him now. He was handsome, deep brown skin, deep blurted eyes and blonde hair which was slightly parted on the side. He looked like he called the shots and I could feel the air of authority around him.. When our eyes met, his gaze deepened but he didn’t speak directly to me. “Leave her and let’s be on our way, that is an order.” “I am right here and don’t like to be spoken about in third person as if I am not here.” “Tell her to stop talking or she foes back into the ditch.” My eyes widened and instinctively, I jumped behind the girl who had pulled me out. “Come on, don’t scare the girl. And you, if you want to come with us, don’t speak to him like that.” I looked down at my feet, I wanted to throw a temper tantrum about my feelings and pains but these people are strange and would not care. I had no idea I had gone emotional until I felt a pat on my shoulder. “You are coming with us.” “She is on you.” He said without looking back. Why does he hate me? Has he met me before. “Yes, Alpha.” She whispered to me, “Don’t take it serious, he is like that to every stranger.” I nodded slowly but remained behind the girl because I was scared the angry Alpha would change his mind although I feel like the girl could protect me. “I am Megan and that’s my brother, Lancelot.” No wonder he speaks like that. He is the Alpha. What pack are they from? I did not want to ask too many questions but more than anything, I was not in the mood to actually ask any more questions so I kept quiet throughout the whole journey by car. It was a black SUV. I was sitting at the back with Megan while one of the other guys drove. The Alpha and the other two men drove another SUV behind us. “You are lucky that we heard your screams.” Megan, the girl said as we reached a big black gate which opened all by itself. The rain began to fall very heavily. My heart reached out to my son and all of a sudden, I broke down in tears, would I never see my son again? It was the only thing that mattered to me now even though at the back of my mind, I could not help but wish I had listened to my family when they warned me about Zander. I did not even get to see my family before I was sent out of the pack. My heart clenched as I grabbed my chest and went on the floor. I could vaguely hear the voices around me for some seconds and the next thing... Darkness
