Chapter 4 Strange Meeting

ALICIA'S POV

"I'm sure your father didn't know he wouldn't be here to save his precious little daughter now did he?" I heard one of the rogues say as his sword touched my throat and I froze, knowing that if I made any slight move, I would be killing myself.

I could see them grinning at me with wild smiles and I couldn't help but scoff.

How could I not recognize them? Father had banished them years ago when they betrayed the pack and tried to sell us out to our rival pack. I wished Father had killed them instead.

"Leave my father out of this, cowards," I muttered as my grip on the sword in my hand tightened, and he cackled loudly while the others joined him.

"You're surrounded, Alicia, look around you. There's nothing you can do to escape or survive. But I would first have a quick taste of you for my pleasure as a way of getting revenge on your stupid father." He said with a cackle and I swallowed hard as I thought of how to get myself out of this mess.

I would rather die than let him touch me.

"Drop this damn sword." He ordered as the sword slid my throat slightly but my grip on it tightened instead. Let him kill me just like this, I wouldn't mind.

"I wouldn't mind fucking your dead body, too, so drop the damn sword!" He yelled and I winced when I felt blood trickle down my neck from the bruise his sword caused.

I reluctantly let the sword go and he finally grinned as he suddenly placed his tongue on the back of my neck and gave it a long lick, causing me to recoil in disgust.

I didn't think twice before stepping on his leg harshly and he let me go in pain as I stepped away from him while he cursed harshly under his breath. This would make him kill me and that was all I hoped for.

And just as I thought, he charged at me with his sword raised and anger evident in his expression, causing me to smile inwardly. This was it.

I froze in anticipation with my eyes closed, waiting for the moment the sword would end my misery and take me out of this world. I waited for a moment of pain before the silence but when I felt nothing, I couldn't help but be confused.

Was I dead already? Was it that quick? How come I felt nothing?

I opened my eyes and looked around, my eyes widening in shock when I saw the rogues lying on the floor unconscious, most likely dead as they were bleeding.

I looked around in shock, wondering what happened and how they died. One second, he was lunging at me and the next, they were on the floor... Dead

"Are you okay?" I heard someone ask from behind me and I immediately spun around to see who was talking. He was covered in blood as I took in his appearance and when my gaze landed on his face, I froze.

Fuck it, he was so beautiful. And he saved me. But he looked so damn familiar that I nearly couldn't place my hands on where I knew him from.

His gaze narrowed on me and that was when it finally hit me like a huge brick that nearly knocked the air out of my lungs.

It wasn't just any stranger. It was the fucking Tairin Silver. The tyrant alpha prince. He had saved me? The one who ordered my father to be killed unjustly was the one who just saved me.

How ironic.

"Alicia Reign. What a waste of time." He said coldly, his tone holding nothing but contempt and all I wanted to do was scratch his eyes and pull them out.

"If it isn't the tyrant alpha prince," I said mockingly and he was by my side in an instant, his hand grabbing my throat and pulling me closer as I gasped for air.

"Call me that one more fucking time, and you will be joining them. That's how you say thank you to people that help you?" He asked in anger, his veins bulging as he spoke and his hand finally loosened over my throat.

"You killed my father! Do you want me to say thank you? If you didn't kill him, none of this would be happening, you fucker." I spat in anger as I took in deep breaths, and the scowl on his face told me that I was crossing my boundaries, but I didn't care.

"I regret saving your fucking life. Not like it was worth it anyway. Do whatever you want; just don't show up in front of me ever again, or I won't hesitate to kill you like I killed your father." He retorted calmly before turning around to walk away.

But then I realized that I was all alone in this territory and it wouldn't be long before I got attacked again. There was only one option and that was to stick by his side until I was out of here.

"Wait," I called out, but he didn't stop or slow down, so I had no choice but to follow after him. He was such a proud piece of shit.

"For fuck's sake, wait!" I yelled as I finally caught up to him and stood in front of him to stop him from moving further.

"The fuck you want?" He asked in annoyance and I crossed my arms over my chest, not wanting to look scared or desperate.

"I'm coming with you. You saved me and now I'm your responsibility." I said in a firm tone and he gave me a glance that almost had me cowering in fear.

"You either move, or I'll stab you."

"Go on, then." I dared him and I froze in shock when he suddenly took out his dagger and aimed towards me.
