Chapter: THE REJECTED LUNA The girls looked up to the door as the men pushed it open and walked in but there was a different man in their midst. He had a posh look, probably a middle-aged Dutchman. He whispered in the ears of Raphael who only smiled and led the way to the girls. Some of the girls moved backwards as the men approached them but Catherine had no fear in her. The tranquiliser was completely worn off and so she was back to her normal self. Although her wolf’s side had still not returned. The man looked at the face of every girl but found Catherine different as she did not depict any iota of fear.“You, what's your name?” He pointed at her but Catherine pretended like she had not heard him. Raphael rushed towards her and forcefully pulled her up, "Did you not hear this man?”“No violence, no violence.” The Dutch said, “ I am a man of peace. They are just like us and deserve to be respected.” He walked slowly as he approached her. He roamed his hand on her shoulder up to her face but Catherine acted l

Chapter: THE BLACK FURS “We have arrived, stop the carriage!” Raphael said and the carriages came to a halt. “Bring out the girls and take them to the warehouse, clean them up and prepare them. They are coming.” He announced. They pulled the girls out including Catherine. She did not resent as she used to as she was just recovering from the tranquilizer's effect. The ray of the sun rushed to her eyes and she quickly shut them. She had not seen the sunlight for a long time, only the gloominess of the woods. It made her nauseated and so she vomited just before she got to the warehouse. “Move!” The man instructed and pushed her, she looked around but everywhere seemed rather too strange to her. There was nothing that she could recognize, it was just an arid land with a warehouse right in the middle. She did not know where they had come from or where else to go even if she wanted to plan an escape. “Move!” He nudged her with his hand on her shoulder. As she turned and looked at his hand, she sighted a familia

Chapter: CATHERINE'S DILEMMA She winced and held her head as soon as she opened her eyes. She did not know how long she had been out. Catherine looked through the small opening of the carriage by the time she had fully woken up. She could only hear the voices of the men but could not see anyone as it was already completely dark. “Let's camp here for the night. Feed the horses and take them to the stream for water.” The leader instructed one of the men. Catherine was pulled out from the carriage just after they had brought out the rest of the slaves in the other carriages and tied them together. “Let go of me.” She resented and freed herself from their grip although her hands and legs were bonded so she could not properly move. “Come here.” The man forged towards her but she nudged him with her shoulders. The man held her firmly and pulled her until she fell to the ground. The men distributed some yeast bread and a plate of stew each for the slaves including Catherine. "I don’t want your food. What kind of foo

Chapter: IN THE WOODS Catherine had been on the run all through the night; she did not stop for a rest nor did she let the horse rest. They trailed through until it was dawn and still kept on walking until they got to the lake. The hyenas were sipping from the lake and Catherine approached them. They surrounded her and the horse as soon as they sighted them. Moving around as a predator preparing to devour their prey. “Stay away.” She said as she watched them. “I'm warning you.” One of the hyenas dived in for the horse but instead, she blocked it, hitting it down. It got the other hyenas furious and they all charged, saliva dripping from their mouth. Catherine bent down and placed one hand on the ground as she raised her head, her eyes and fangs had all come out. She roared at the hyenas so that they ran away fearfully, including the horse. Bringing out to her wolf’s side when she was weak only made her weaker and so she fell to the ground gasping for air. She had no strength left in her to run after th

Chapter: THE ESCAPE Catherine lay still on the bare ground with her eyes shut, her breathing had become stable and the wolf's bane had finally worn off completely. Gradually she opened her eyes and looked ahead although she could not see anything. She trailed her hands on the ground as she headed for the door blindly. The door had a little open patch on it where the tiny ray of light oozed from outside. Here, she put one eye as she looked through to see if anyone was around the door. She studied the environment for a while counting every second that someone passed by, identifying the person from their footwear. She knew that the guards had uniformed boots and the non-guards had fancy leather shoes, some had flowing robes that covered their shoes. At the brisk of dusk, the maid would bring in her dinner, Catherine knew this and so she laid back on the floor with her eyes shut as if she was still in the influence of the wolf's bane. She heard the door latch and then the creaks from the metal door and the

Chapter: HATE - PART 2Catherine woke up to the noise of the birds, it didn't sound like they were playing, it sounded like a bad omen. The pillow she placed on her head to block the noise wasn't working. She cursed under her breath while she was forced to sleep.***"My lady". She was able to hear her maid who shouted at the top of her voice.She has barely closed her eyes and now this, she snubbed the maid who had started pounding at her door."My lady please open up". Catherine angrily stood, she had decided to give Eden the beating of her life for being callous."What the?""Your father my lady, he all of a sudden stopped breathing".At the sound of her father, her heart skipped, she had just escalated things."Take me to him". Catherine perceived something strange, Eden had stopped looking at her and wouldn't take her to see her father."Eden speak up". Catherine shouted as she tried to control herself, Eden had taken a step backward with the feeling Catherine might hit her."Sir Alex warned me not to
