The Alpha's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 444: MARRO’S MISTAKE

Marro had been kept in the house for twenty fours and his mum had placed a watchful eye on him, making sure he never strayed far.

Marro had been so distraught and all he could think of was his dying friend in the forest.

What if he was now dead? Or they had found him?

He had tried his best to get away from home but his mother had monitored every single move he made, making it impossible for him to even do anything.

He had been so frustrated his skin was beginning to crawl.

Now his mother made him do chores while his father and brother went off with the pack.

It was either he washing clothes or mopping the floors or washing the dishes.

Whatever his mother told him to.

He was still very much upset with her because she was the reason why he wasn’t allowed out of the house.

She had told him that she won’t tell his father and yet she had.

He barely spoke to her.

When she told him to do something he did it without even complaining or looking at her.

And he knew she was unhappy about it.

But he didn’t care.

Because if she didn’t report him to his father he would have saved the pack.

He would have been the one to save the man that was dying in the village.

He is the key to their salvation and freedom from the tyrant Rogue Alpha hunter.

It would also give Marro the chance to have his family see him as a proper wolf and not just some pup.

His parents looked down on him and treated him like a baby when he was much more than that.

As he picked up the clothes from the back of the line, his mother looked up at him.

”Marro!” She said. ”Come inside.”

He finished picking up the clothes and then went to find her in the kitchen.

”Are you done with your chores?” She asked him.

”Yes ma.” He nodded even though he refused to look at her.

She sighed weakly.

”Marro I didn’t report you to your father because I hate you or anything.” She expressed. ”I was worried for you. And look at what he came in saying about the rival pack that has overtaken our pack. I just want to protect you.”

He nodded numbly and yet refused to say a words.

She sighed heavily looking around then she put her hands on her waist.

”The goddess knows I’m making the biggest mistake of my life.” She sighed heavily and then cleared her throat.

”You can go out.” She said and his face lit up. But Only for an hour. I know you like hunting rabbits so don’t go far beyond the line of hunting. And you hear me one hour.”

He nodded excitedly and then hugged her.

He rushed into his room and grabbed the wrist band bearing the golden mark that he had been given by his friend before putting it in his hunting bag.

He gathered everything he needed and raced out of the room.

”One hour!” His mother screamed behind him.

”Yes ma.” He said waving as he went on his way.

Once he was out of sight of his parent’s house, he looked left and right wondering where he would go.

Should he go and find his friend?

He was worried that he was dead or on the brink of it.

He had some stored cheese and bread in his bag enough to feed him.

But he calculated his time.

He had only one hour.

By the time he went to the forest to find his friend it would be well past one hour. But if he went to the outskirts of the pack to the neighboring pack and handed the wrist band, it would take well past four hours.

He didn’t have that time.

He raked his brain wondering what to do

Then it occurred to him that people paid for birds to deliver messages.

He could go to the market and have that done. That way he would be able to pay and send it off to the neighboring pack and still come back in time to see his friend.

He checked his bag and found a small pouch of coins he had saved his entire life.

Then he headed straight for the market.

He went on his way and in fifteen minutes he was already at the busy market.

People were buying and selling, calling for their goods.

He looked through the stalls as he made sure to be careful.

If someone who knew his family recognized him, he would be in very big trouble.

His mother would be in trouble with his father for letting him out.

He walked past the stalls with his head well bent until he found a woman in her forties with birds.

”I’ll like to send a message.” He said.

She looked at him. ”Aren’t you a little too young for that?”

”It’s for my aunt.” He said. ”My mother is sending it to my aunt.”

”Of course.” She said. ”What pack?”

”Coal pack?” He said.

”That would be twenty wolfangs.” She said.

His eyes widened in shock.

”Twenty wolfangs?” He said in disbelief. ”That’s a lot of money.”

”That the price child.” She said as she pushed her face. ”You either take it or leave it. Things are hard.”

He looked through his bag and counted through.

He virtually had twenty two Wolfangs. That was his life savings.

All he had in his possession.

He sighed and counted twenty before handing it to the woman.

”Now we can n do business.” The woman said once she had counted the money and pocketed it.

He pulled out a paper and asked for a quill.

Then he wrote down a message telling the people of Coal pack that the man who owned the leather wrist band needed help.

Once he was done, he folded it neatly and then handed the wrist band to the woman.

Her eyes widened.

”This is quite lovely.” The woman said. ”Where did you get it from?”

”It’s for my mother to her sister.” He said tensed and his heart racing.

”Of course.” the woman said.

He saw her use her side eye to look at some scary look guards.

And Marro instantly knew.

He was in trouble.
