KING MICAH: World Beyond The Ruins

Did I say that my heart skiped a beat when he called me mate? Well yeah, but that doesn’t matter.

Everyone started shifting back to their human form and I looked at all of them, not caring that they were naked.

“Mate” the man before me said and I snapped my head back to him, giving him the most disgusted look I could muster.

“Do not come closer” I turned my head around, looking for a way out, to escape this beasts. I could not leave my mother’s body out here without giving her a proper burial but… She would understand right?

“Do not try” The man said with a growl when he noticed my plan but before he could grab my arm, I was already running for the woods.

I stepped flesh, blood, I almost puked but I had to keep going. I could hear his growl behind me, chasing after me.

I was a panting mess, my hands were cold and my legs wants to give out but I kept on pushing. I felt like the beast behind me was just giving me the chance to run, he loved the game. He was the Predator and I the prey after all, the prize to be claimed and he was enjoying the chase.

The trees around me were like a blur as my legs carried me through the forest. It felt like I have been running for hours and i could no longer hear the wolf chasing me. I was relieved to have lost the man and when I was about to rest beside the iced lake, my legs gave out and I was tackled to the big white wolf.

It’s weight was crushing me and I gasped and whimpered in pain. It brought out its tongue, licking the side of my face and I turned my head to the side, closing my eyes and smacking my lips in a firm line so it’s saliva would not get in my mouth.

When I could no longer bare the pain of the wolf on top of me, I had to voice it out. “You’re crushing me” I said to him with my palm laying flat underneath it’s stomach.

He started shifting back to his human form and let me tell you, it was not a pleasant sight to see up close.

“Why were you running away from me mate?” He asked in a husky voice with his face in my neck inhaling my scent and smoothing my hair. I had to take in a quick breath from the gesture.

“You took my Family away from me” I said and it was then that I realized who was before me-ontop of me. I pushed at his hard chest but he would not move.

“Move” I gritted out as tears welled up in my eyes and he looked sad.

“Do not cry mate, I’m sorry..” He whispered, getting up and dragging him with me. “If only I had knew my soul was here, I would not have attacked” he added drawing me closer to his chest and hugging me tight.

I cried into his chest, I cried into the chest of the man who had murdered my people, my ma.

“Wh-who are you?” I asked him, slightly pulling away from his to look at him face. His gray eyes stared into my brown ones before he said his name. “Micah. I am King Micah”

I gasped in fright and pulled away from the man, the king and stumbled backwards.

“N-no” I stammered as I kept on taking a few feets backwards.

King Micah, the man whom everyone is afraid of, the man who kills without mercy- the white wolf. Of course! How did I not see it? I asked myself.

“Don’t be afraid of me love” The king said as he took a step closer to me while I took some backwards.

“You’ll kill me!” I shouted now walking on the frozen ice.

“No don’t!” King Micah shouted and I jumped back in fright making the ice underneath my feet crake.

I gulped and looked down at the frozen river, I never knew I was this far in and I stayed frozen in my place, afraid that the ice might give out underneath me.

I looked up at the King in panic also to see that he was as confused, “Don’t move” He whispered and I nodded afraid that any movement I make will make the ice give out.

He slowly stretched out his hand towards me, nodding his head in a way that says I should take it. Slowly, I stretched mine to his hand he held my hand before drawing me close to him and hugging me.

I closed my eyes, my heart beating fast against my chest that we might just fall into the ice cold water and be frozen to death but after a few seconds, I released a breath and opened my eyes then let out a short nervous laugh.

When I peaked behind me, I saw that a few of the kings men (and woman) were already at the edge of the river, fully clothed and waiting for us.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Now slowly move with me” the king whispered in my ear, snapping me out of my thoughts and I nodded, holding on to his shoulders as he walked backwards while i walked forward.

The ice cracked a bit and I suck in a quick breath as we stopped, the hold I had on is shoulders tightening but he does not seem to mind.

“Ahh!” I screamed when the ice finally cracked and we fell into the water. I let go of the king as I tried to swim up for air but it was like a heavy weight was pulling me down.

I could no longer find the hole we fell from so I started hitting at the ice above me with a the strength I had. The sharp edges from the ice were cutting into my palm and knuckles making blood spill out, mixing with the water but that was the least of my problems.

I was running out of air.

I screamed when there was no air left in my lungs and my body became weak. I gasped, making water rush into my lungs and soon, I was sinking deeper and deeper. My vision became blurry and my body became weightless.

A huge figure was swimming towards me, from the tingles in felt, I knew it was him . He held me by the waist as he swims up with me.

I was dropped on the snow, by the edge of the river and I turned to my right side and started coughing out water and gasping for air.

I fell with my back on the snow, panting and gasping. The man who’s hand was on my cheeks eyes were glowing a bright golden and his white hair were clinging to his cheeks and neck.

“I’m glad you’re okay mate” he said smiling down at me.

“Lovette, my name is Lovette” I muttered before my vision became blurry and everything turned black.
