chapter 1

Her breath was hard and deafening as she woke up with her head banging over the nightmares she just had. It was scary and very horrendous. Her eyes caught a glimpse of the alarm clock which was clicking one by one and it was then it dawned on her about the whereabouts of her parents. They weren't in the room with her. Where would they have gone? With a pounding heart, she stood up from the bed abruptly, in search of her parents.

"Oh Princess, where are you going? You should probably go get some sleep?! Her mother spoke. Very worried and surprised to see her already awoken.

"What is it honey? You look terrified!" Her father uttered, petting her hair as she looked at both of them with pouring eyes.

"Please don't leave me momma! Please don't leave me daddy, it isn't safe! Please don't go!" She cried out, holding their hands. Ashina doesn't need a soothsayer to tell her that her parents were going on a war because of the custom attires they were dressed in. They were the army general in the sky moon pack! Their position was to protect the pack from any danger.

But flashing back to her dream, she knew that her parents wouldn't make it this time around and she wasn't ready to lose them. "Please don't go, it's dangerous". She cried out again like a baby not minding the fact that she was just a fifteen years old.

Gonzalo wanted to obey the words of his daughter but he couldn't. He knew that if they don't Make a move, they will be roasted and skinned alive by their Ruthless Alpha. Which is the reason why he has to overlook the words and the whimpering of his daughter then go on this mission with his loving wife.

"Don't worry my princess, we will be back safely". Her Mother assured, not knowing what to say again. "Yes we will! Just trust us". Said by her father who kissed her cheeks and walked away with his wife.

The Sky moon Pack thought the war with the rival neighborhood pack had ended not until it was announced that (ZEEB) the Alpha of the sky moon Pack son was missing. After searching for hours, a Letter was sent to the Sky moon Pack that Zeeb was kidnapped by their rival Pack which they once had a war with and emerged as a winner.

Alpha Ralph sends Gonzalo and his wife lupe with some of the wolves on the mission. He gave them one command and instructions, he wants them to bring his son alive. And if they fail to do so, the consequence lies on them.

Her heart whimpers in pain as she watches her parents going away. She couldn't move her leg neither could she walked at the moment, the dream had affected her so badly that it's turning her into something she doesn't understand

"Please come back safe". She uttered in a fainter breath before turning away.

Alpha Ralph and Luna Cathwulf wait patiently for the news about the mission. It's been four hours since they went on the mission but yet they weren't back. "My son, I really can't take this anymore! Zeeb is all I have". Cathwulf shrieked in pain, looking over the territory in sign of them but she couldn't hear any sign of their movements or footsteps.

"It will be okay my love! Let's trust the warriors! I'm sure they will bring back our son Alive". Alpha Ralph held his mate tightly as they waited for the arrival of the warriors.

They were careless. They would have watched over Zeeb very well if they knew that this was going to happen. But they weren't better parents to Zeeb. And just as they were still mourning, thinking about their child, they heard the sound of their footsteps, matching in.

They turned back hoping to see their son only to see the army general and his wife by his side. "Where's my son and the rest of the people?"

Alpha Ralph bellowed at them with a furious gaze. Disappointed that they came back without his son. "I'm sorry Alpha but we need back up and my wife here needs some treatment because she was stabbed by the enemy and if she doesn't get treated, she could die".

Gonzalo uttered, hoping that Alpha Ralph would understand his words but unfortunately, nothing was entering his head at the moment. All he wanted was to see his son returned alive and nothing more.

"So the two of you came here alone without my son?" His voice was filled with anger and hatred. One could easily identify how angry he was and at this moment, they only need to beg for their life because they know the type of Alpha he was.

"Forgive me Alpha! But please allow my wife to get treated by the pack healer while some of the soldiers go with me! The enemies were too much and I feel like we could all die in the war if we don't request for a backup". Gonzalo explained Once again, hoping that he could understand and save his dying wife who was whimpering silently.

At this point, Little Ashina was watching the incidents from where she was standing. She was overwhelmed when she Heard that her parents came back from the war safely but only to meet them in this critical stage, At the mercy of their ruthless Alpha.

Tears flowed down her eyes profusely as she caught a glimpse of her mother whose hand was stabbed and blood was streaming out from her hands. She could see her lifeless mother was on the ground whimpering.

"So the two of you came back here without my son?" Alpha Ralph questions them again, laughing hard that he burst into screaming as he glared at his wife who was crying over their son.

"You've disappointed me Gonzalo and none of you will walk out of here alive". With them, he brought out his swords and slid it into the two of them. "Mother, father" . A voice echoes in from behind which pulls his attention as he turns to see where the female voice was coming from only to see a girl who looks so much like Lupe, and without a doubt, he knew that she was their daughter.

************

Ashina's heart skipped and whimpered in pain the moment she saw her parents' lifeless Body on the ground. She thought that the Alpha would never do such a thing to her parents who respected him so much and always obeyed his command but she was wrong. Alpha Ralph wasn't someone! He was a heartless monster and a beast. Ashina couldn't help with the fact that she just saw her parents, beheaded in front of her own eyes.

"Mother, father!" She called in a sobbing voice, not minding the fact that she could get seen by the ruthless Alpha who was currently satisfied after executing her parents.

"Who are you? Come out". She Heard his voice roaring at her as she summoned her courage and approached his direction. By the time she got there, her parents' bodies had been taken away from their sight.

"What do you want?" She snapped at him rudely and boldly as tears continued to drop down from her eyes while her whole Body was shaking.

"Are you the daughter of Gonzalo and lupe?" He questions, trying to press her neck when his wife stops him. "Let her go! She's just a little girl!"

"If anything Ever happens to my son, just know that you will pay for your parents' sin". "Liam" he called out to his beta mate who was currently standing behind him.

"Take her to the slave quarters! From now on , she's a slave in the Sky moon Pack".

"Mark my words Alpha Ralph, you will regret doing this to me". That was the only words Ashina said to him before walking away with His beta
