The sky was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun. Slowly the night creped in covering the surroundings of Queen Anne Hill. The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky. She grabbed her torn clothes tightly around her body and made a run to save her life and dignity.

The woods in front were dense like a thick black cloud, covered with enormous high trees. The cold breeze brushed against her skin making her wince in pain. Her bare feet pressed against dried leaves and small twigs creating a scared pattern of rustle. Ignoring everything apart she dashed inside the thicker part of the woods promising herself to not look back. Her throat clogged and her mind became fuzzy. Her body trembled to make her core weak and push her more into the verge of quitting. Yet she kept on taking long breaths to overcome her situation. 

Far away inside a mansion, a man was sitting with two girls kneeling in front of him. Even though they were pleasing him with everything, his mind was calculating his sort of business and planning. Throwing his back on the couch he closed his eyes to devour the moment when an abrupt knock on his door made him annoyed. 

"Move away." He growled to those girls who were busy with their work. 

"Yes, Master." They replied cynically only to avoid getting punished.

"Come in....." He growled once those girls left the room immediately. 

A guard came running towards him with a worried face. He was scared as well knowing that his news might bring his death soon.

"Alpha...  Alpha Leonard..... She......she....." The guard stuttered while passing the crucial information to the alpha of the pack.

"She... She.... what.....?" 

"She escaped........" The guard closed his eyes thinking that was his last day on earth. No prisoner had ever escaped from the prison cell of Dark Moon Pack. It was a direct insult to every single person of the pack. 

Alpha would never tolerate such mistakes and he would punish every single one who would be found responsible for such actions.

Instead of getting hit the guard felt nothing and dared to lift his face a little to know about Alpha's current position. He looked calm yet pissed off. There was a devilish smile on his face that indicated the worst fate of the prisoner once she would be recaptured.

"Prepare the guards. Tell them to open my favorite dungeon. We are going to have a guest tonight."

The guard stood frozen at his place knowing how drastically the situation would be changed. Alpha's favorite dungeon was the one from where no male wolf had ever survived let alone any female. 

"Pardon Alpha. The prisoner is a female here and she is also a.....".

"Did I permit you to talk about her? Or do you want to be in that dungeon instead of her? Choose wisely. I won't mind ripping you apart." The growling of Alpha was something that the guard couldn't manage to handle. He immediately bowed his head and made his way towards the door. The moment he stepped out of the door a large growl was hard behind him. It was none other than Alpha Leonard's voice. 

"Let the hunt begin."

    United Kingdom A girl was packing her stuff while munching a granola bar. Her music system was playing the song "Bird Set Free" and she was also singing a few lines with that whenever her mouth was getting empty in between her munching. "Books... Books... Books...." Checked"Clothes.." Checked "Documents....." Checked She reminded herself and lifted her invisible collar to praise herself only. "So, are you done with your stuff?" She heard a voice behind her while looking for a few more things to pack. Her roommate barged in with a few gift bags in her hands and a warm smile. "Hailey......... Where have you been since this morning." She slapped her best friend cum roommate's arm."Bingo... I was out to buy your gifts. Come on Iris, you are leaving for your home after such a long time. I should stuff you with so many things." Hailey couldn't stop herself from throwing herself at her best friend Iris. Even though she would miss Iris after completing high school but seeing Iris g

    The bidding adieu was more than painful with tears in everyone's eyes. Iris felt a pang of pain whereas Hailey was crying as if she was leaving for Mars. Even though by saying such words Iris tried to lighten the mood, she knew it was not easy. For the past six years, Hailey was with Iris and they became more like sisters. David had a long sullen face even though the airport kiss was long from Iris's side. "I would be back soon," Iris whispered before pulling away from him. She knew it was hard to leave the thirteen years old homes that she made in the UK. In those thirteen years, she had never left the UK. But this time she had decided to visit her hometown. Hailey waved her hand for the last time with David and leaned on his shoulder while looking at Iris's retreating figure. "I am going to miss her," Hailey mumbled. "Me too." David agreed and decided to leave the airport only when the flight would take off. Iris settled herself near the window seat. The sky was still dark as if

    "I miss you honey but this place is not safe for you honey." Iris froze at her place when her father's voice boomed in her ears. Slowly breaking the hug she looked at her father's face and tear-filled eyes. There was fear and a lot more care in them. What she couldn't decipher was the meaning of his father's last words. Why would her hometown be not safe for her? "Why dad?" She asked, shocked. "You won't understand now. But..... Princess..... " He couldn't complete it when a sudden knock on the door interrupted them. "Did someone see you when you came here?" Her father asked, panic-stricken but Iris couldn't understand what he meant. The airport security had seen her, the cab driver, and a few more people also. She couldn't be invisible to just come straight to her house. "Dad... What do you mean by someone? There were people....." She couldn't finish her words when the knock was heard again and this time an inpatient voice too. Someone called her father by his name. "Tyler, Jer

    Iris came upstairs to find her old childhood room. It was the same as when she had left. There was nothing much that had changed except the window. The curtain was changed and she could tell it was his father's Choice. The room had the same familiar smell and old warmth which she missed a lot. Placing her bag inside the room she climbed on the bed to lie down. Looking at the ceiling she could see those old neon stars she had plastered long back. At the night hour, they were her constant companion. She made a whole new sky to watch before falling asleep. Hours passed and her father kept his conversation in a real low voice. Iris couldn't eavesdrop and she chose to be ignorant on the matter. Leaning close to the cupboard she opened it to get some glimpses of her old memories. Only she knew how much she had missed that place. It was never easy growing up in other countries but she chose that. After a certain time, she decided to take a long warm shower to relax her muscles. In the mean

    Iris covered herself completely with the duvet as soon as his father left the room. If she followed what her father just said, that meant someone had entered her room. But how would she ever be able to make someone understand? There was no proof that a man was there in her room. Even if he was, why couldn't she shout or move her body in the first place? That meant it was only a dream. "The city is not safe for you." Her father had been saying the same thing since she had come. There was always a concern in his voice. The fear started to take over as this was the first time she had such a terrible nightmare. David was the last person she had contacted before going back to sleep. Without wasting a single moment she took the cell phone from the nightstand and opened the message inbox. "I am coming back to the UK by tomorrow's flight." Typing a single message she hit the send button and waited for his reply. Within a few seconds, the reply came from David's side. "Is everything fine?

    "No matter what, you would run away from here and won't look back at me. He is here." Iris didn't understand a single word of his father, that was said to her. She didn't understand why her father would suggest running away when she could simply drive back to the airport. There was no such reason to ponder over a single matter like that. It was utterly the driver's fault who had eventually blocked their path. She watched her father taking the car backward as those two men who came down from the car started walking towards them. That was the first time she noticed their features. Both of them were tall and muscular enough to tackle any sort of fight. They looked similar yet a little different. One of them ran his fingers through his thick brown hair while walking with a playful smirk. He looked a bit older than the other one. Before Iris could say something to her father, she noticed he had already

    "Say goodbye to your dad." Iris's blood froze as she clutched Leonard's hand more tightly with fear. Fear of losing her loved ones, her only family. "No... No... You said you won't hurt him... No .....dad....." She started screaming hard while trying to remove his grasp from her body. "Shhh..... You shout too much. Your dad is going back to his actual place. Your sweet home. Don't worry." The moment his words got finished grabbing her senses, she could see her father being held by three men. He knelt on the ground but his eyes were fixed on her. "Leave her, Leonard. She means no harm. Let her go." His father screamed for one last time when Leonard passed him an ugly smirk. "Your daughter has exchanged her life to save you. Don't you think you should be proud? At least you should be happy seeing her accepting our rules." Iris unde

    Struggle. All she could do was struggle while lying on the car's surface being tied up like an animal. There was no hope left for her as the man in front squeezed out every single element of it. Her big doe-like eyes filled with tears could only plead at that moment. The journey was short-lived since she gained her consciousness back. After a certain minute, the car came to a halt. She understood the destination had arrived. The door was opened by another man who bowed his head to show gratitude to Leonard. Placing his foot on the ground he fixed his suit. Iris was wondering for how long she was unconscious. As Alex and Leonard, both were back in their new expensive suit and none of them held any further features of a wolf. "We have got a guest here. Hope she will like our treatment." Leonard was the first person to speak while looking in front of the bunch of men standing t

    When Iris slowly fluttered her eyes open, she felt someone had kept boulders on her eyelids. There was so much drowsiness and heaviness that she felt to go back to her previous peaceful previous slumber. She didn't want to just keep on staring awkwardly at the ceiling. "So, you are finally awake." A little mocking yet deep voice was heard by her before she could escape reality. Her head was tilted sideways and all she could see was the devil giving her a different look at her condition. "You......" She didn't finish her last sentence remembering vaguely all those past incidents. The moment her mind captured the situation where she was badly bitten, her hand involuntarily moved towards the swell. "Ah...." A small hissing sound left her mouth when her hand touched the area and a small drop of tear left her eyes to roll down her cheek. Leonard was sitting on the couch placed a bit away from the bed, resting in a relaxing manner. But his eyes didn't leave her figure even for a second.

    "I don't........" "What did you say?" Leonard let out a dry chuckle asking her the question. "I don't....." Iris spoke maintaining the same authoritative tone. "You are highly mistaken...." Leonard took a step closer to her making her flinch. "If you think....." He took another step closing the remaining distance in between them. "that your opinion matters." And thus he grabbed her throat in his tight grip giving it a scary squeeze to make her realize who had the ultimate power to take the final decision. "Pardon Alpha, you may......" Leonard tilted his head towards Jonathan who immediately closed his mouth being scared of dying a painful death in his hand. "I know her words or acceptance doesn't matter. But I wish to hear her sweet voice accepting her defeat in front of me." Leonard turned his head towards Iris watching her face going red due to lack of oxygen. Bringing his mouth close to her ears he whispered seductively to scare the shit out of her. "If you say yes, the proce

    Iris was sitting in front of a mirror where two women were trying desperately to hide all her bruises caused by those tortures. Luckily that day Leonard didn't hit her with the vase made of glass. He threw it in such a way that she thought it would hit her face but apparently it smashed just beside her. Even just by remembering the situation, she could feel the hairs on her neck getting straightened up. "It should be like this. Cover that dark patch..." Iris's daze broke when she heard the girl who was helping her with the dress show the leftover unattended mark on her body to the other one to cover. "Oh. Yes. I miss that. There are too many." A dry laugh left Iris's mouth when she heard the reply of that girl who was fixing her condition. After thirty or more minutes those two girls left keeping Iris alone inside the room. Minutes passed when she heard a knock on the door and she didn't dare to spare a glance knowing that it would be her tormentor only. "Iris...." A female voi

    Iris I always had a dream of marrying the man whom I would love with my heart and soul. I always thought to be in the arms of a man who would be the reason for my happiness and the cause of my well-being. I have always seen my father mourning my mother's death and I have also seen his love for her. I believed marriage is a sacred bond where not only two body becomes one but two souls entangled together. My man was always David since I started attending my classes in the UK. It was not because we had started dating each other, it is because we knew we are the reason for each other's happiness and betterment. "Dave..." A whisper left my mouth as I sat on the floor inside the room that was allotted by Alpha. I didn't even know what is this stupid mating ceremony or marking until I hear some whispers. The first person I could ask was the maid who was attending me since I started more time lying on a bed being injured. But one particular statement inflicted more fear in my system than Le

    "Painful Punishment." These were the only two words that were utterly registered in her brain. She was shocked and her body went to flight mode. She didn't know what to do or how to react. All she knew was to run away. Madly she tried to pull her wrists away but his iron grip didn't help her much rather he smirked looking at her helplessness. She was frightened and her tears made their way out of her eyes. "Please... Please.... I don't know....let me... Go...". She started begging in her pleading voice but all fell on his deaf ears. He laughed dryly looking at her face and situation. When Samantha told him to kill Iris, he thought to snap Samantha's head but that would be igniting the old flame of war again. Somehow they chose this peace treaty which he couldn't let go of easily no matter what. Killing a witch would be his last option for sure. "Shhh... They are just questions sweetheart. Be a good girl and answer them properly." Leonard brought his face near her to speak and Iris

    Two days passed and all Iris did was to wake up finish her morning routine take a shower and went back to sleep after taking medicine. Since Leonard and they shared that complicated encounter, she hadn't seen him coming to her room anymore. Her back healed and the pain subdued. Few faint scars were there along with that the marking of the knife stab. But the pain left and so did the other wounds. Still, the horrible memories were fresh in her mind. Now and then she was looking around her to confirm Leonard's absence. His presence always brought terror and pain to her. These days she didn't need to leave the room to show up as Leonard's maid. Even though she asked Agnes whether she was spared or not, Agnes chose to keep her mouth shut.Every night she went to sleep with a fear of waking up in front of him or beside him. Since she was utterly bruised he had twice kept her in his room.The day was sunny which made her mind a little happy. After taking the shower she

    "Alex..... Alex...." Leonard yelled through his mind link while walking towards the study where his brother was supposed to be."Brother,"The door of the room burst open showing the face of anger filled monster that was none but Leonard itself."You better come with me." He gestured to Alex who was going through some documents. Even though they are werewolves they are a part of the biggest business. Rather the entire Knight Corporation was built by their ancestors and they kept on enlarging that making a significant place for them in the global business arena."What's wrong." Alex opened his mouth but looking at the furious state of his brother, he could clearly understand that everything was wrong."You better see it by yourself." Leonard became impatient and came closer to Alex."Fine. Let's go." Alex ignored the rest of his work and made his way upstairs with Leonard. Even in those few seconds, he was only thinking of n

    The next morning when Iris woke up she found herself lying in the same room wrapped in a sheet. Her eyes landed on the nightstand where the water jug was kept. Balancing her body on her elbow she leaned a little to grab the jug to quench her thirst. But it wasn't easy especially when her right shoulder was badly injured. She extended her hand and carefully held the jug to pour herself a glass of water.She was about to pour the water when the door of her room burst open taking her attention completely away from the current task she was doing. As a result, her trembling hand missed holding the jug which fell on the floor shattering into pieces.Her eyes remained widened we she met those petrifying golden ones looking at her with some deadly intensity."Sorry... I didn't....." She tried to apologize for breaking the water jug but raised his hand to stop her in the middle."It's fine." His voice w

    When Iris woke up in the morning all she could feel was a sharp pain in her back. But the warmth beneath her body was giving her some relief. Without opening her close she pushed her trembling body more towards the warmth to snuggle. Her fever didn't subdue and all she could search for was just a bit of comfort.She felt something hard and masculine when her hand tried to grab the thing on which she was resting her body. To her utter surprise, the feeling of human skin scared the shit out of her. But she was too exhausted to pull herself from her lying position.Blinking twice she opened her only to welcome a pair of golden orbs looking at her pale face."No......." A meek voice left her mouth when she tried to push herself from the danger zone but a strong arm wrapped around her body to keep her body still in its previous position."Ahh..."
