I ran. I didn't know where I was going or how to get there, I just kept running.
I had finally broken free and I was not about to let myself be dragged back into misery. I never wanted to see him again.
I had a nagging suspicion that my dream wouldn't come true but I push that to the back of my mind, letting the flow of adrenaline, vigor, and most of all hope, surge through my body, allowing me to fly through the woods with grace.
Dodging tree, jumping boulders, flipping over vines in the ground that seemed to jump out and grab my ankles, wanting to suck me into their depths and wait for my nightmare to come.
He haunts my mind, every minute of every day. Even in my sleep I dream of the horrible things he had done to me. The pain he had inflicted upon me, and the behavior he had burned so deeply into my mind it would stay forever.
I wasn't always this way. There was a time when I was strong and confident. A time when I cared about myself. But, he ruined that. He ruined me. Taught me that I was nothing more than a worthless doll he had control over.
Now I was nothing. I was no longer in control of my body or what happened to it. I am a true Omega. Worthless scum that the pack uses for their own desires.
A twig snapped behind me and I knew they were catching up. I knew Ian couldn't hold them off for long... They were stronger, faster, and a hell of a lot smarter than me. In minutes I knew I'd be a goner. I've never run from him before. He won't take it lightly. I won't get a little lecture and get away with it because I've never done it before. No. He will make sure that I writhe in pain for countless hours, screaming for a savior I know will never come to my rescue. He'll make sure I'll never want to run again.
A branch fell off of a tree. Well more like someone ripped it off. The thought of what might be following me shook me to the bone. I was scared out of my mind but this drive only pushed me harder, faster.
The elements seemed to not be in my favor as lighting cracked across the sky followed by booming thunder. Then it opened up and poured. I was soaked within seconds.
Normally, this type of weather could've helped me in a chase, but right now, I was the prey.
I could feel them closing in on me. Quickly figuring out there was 5 of them and 1 of me. I won't be getting away tonight.
I stopped by a big oak, my whole being shaking like a leaf. My legs threatened to collapse under me. Their deafening snarls and menacing growls made me swallow thickly before backing up into the tree.
Closing my eyes, I soon felt his hot breath on my face. A small whimper rose in my throat as I desperately wanted to make myself invisible.
"Thought you could run, eh?" He snarled, and I shook my head, only earning me a hard slap. I yelped out in pain as his hard knuckles connected with my already bruised face, sending me to the ground.
Like a bear trap, my hands were caught in a rope and lifted so high my feet left the ground, bringing me face to face with the battle scarred Beta. "Very disappointing you know. How you corrupted the young Alpha. His daddy is not very happy..." He drawled in his Scottish accent. "The price is high for what you've done. Running like a scared little girl. Oh, but that's right," - his hard fist connected with my gut almost causing me to throw up - "you are a just a stupid," - another hit - "worthless," - and again - "little girl," I was coughing up blood at this point but he wasn't done. "And now you're going to pay for your sins, little girl," my head shot up as he pulled out a knife. I cried and begged for mercy but he ignored me, continuing to slice through the thin fabric on my legs.
This was always the worst part. The part I could never emotionally handle. A scream ripped out of my throat as I cried for my unknown savior. He put his hand over my mouth and I was dragged into yet another session of misery...
