{ Grace }

My eyes slowly opened and I immediately recognized my surroundings.

Could it be a dream, wasn't I in the dungeon? A heat of confusion settled in my mind as I stared around to be sure I wasn't hallucinating.

“ How did I get here?” I tried to get off the bed but a hand held me down.” Don't put pressure on your injury, it's the doctor's advice.” She said and my eyes went up.” Doctor?” Was I in the hospital?

“ Zoe?” I asked as if I didn't believe what I was seeing. “ Your injury is yet to heal. “ She said with a relieved expression on her face.

My foot was covered in a white bandage with a white pillow placed underneath it.” What happened to me?” I asked because the last thing I thought I remembered was fainting on the floor in the dungeon.” You fainted after bleeding so much.” Zoe explained.” Bleeding?” I frowned.

“ It's okay if you don't remember, just focus on recovering first.” She handed me two pills, and I grabbed it after hesitating for a while.” This will help with the pain,”

I gave her back the glass of water after swallowing the piles.” Is there anything you want to eat?” my gaze landed right at the window and I noticed the cold atmosphere outside.” How long have I been sleeping?”

“ For the past twelve hours,” Zoe replied casually and I wondered if what I saw was just a dream.

“ Thank you, Zoe.” I said as she was about to leave.” It's the alpha who brought you here and instructed the pack doctor to take care of you.” Zoe explained and I bit on my bottom lip.

It wasn't a dream, he did come for me. The cold expression on his face when he carried me in his arms displayed in my memory but why would he care about me?

“ Alpha Cronus isn't as bad as he seems.” what did she mean by that?

“ Get some rest, I will be right back.” she left the room.

I missed in pain when I tried to lift my feet. How did the pain become this unbearable?

Zoe returned with a bowl of soup, and I took a few spoons before taking the other drugs. “ Why am I not healing?” I asked Zoe.

It has been a few hours since I got injured, but instead of healing, it seems to be getting worse.

I didn't shift on my eighteenth birthday; could it be that I have no wolf?” Sometimes healing takes time, especially for someone who hasn't yet shifted.” as if she were reading my mind, I immediately relaxed my back on the bed.” The pack doctor will come over to change your bandage.”

The pack doctor arrived a few minutes after Zoe left and he was an elderly man around his late forties. He first checked my leg before lifting it, which made me hiss in pain.” You are recovering, pretty face, keep it up.” he said after looking at my face. “ I will only change the bandage for now, but don't hesitate to call me if you have any usual pain.” I nodded again as he looked at me.” It will hurt a little,” he warned and I found his action a bit weird.

There was no reaction on his face as he slowly took off the bandage and replaced it with a new one.” It's done,” he said as he took the gloves off his hand.” I will advise you to rest more.”

“ Thank you, doctor….” I pause and bite on my lip, not sure how to address him.

“ Callous,” he said and I looked up at him.

“ Doctor Callous.”

" Good" he smiled at me.

The rest of the day was as boring as possible. I have never felt this bored in my life before.

Zoe would bring me food three times a day, which was very frustrating; all I did was lay in bed doing nothing.

I tried convincing Zoe to at least let me help her in the kitchen, but she wouldn't listen; she would say, ‘ I don't make decisions around here.’

What did she mean by that? I wanted to know what she meant by that but I knew she would say much.

It has been three days, and I haven't left the room; Callous has shown up twice in those days to change my bandage, and every time he does, he engages me in a conversation. I got to know he was the head pack doctor and, then there were other doctors aside from him.

He didn't seem as strict as he appeared, but I must say he was a bit strange. For example, when I asked him if I could go for a walk, he simply said.’ I'm not the right person to ask.’

What was with the shallow replies?

Was I expected to spend the rest of my days in this huge room?

I didn't understand what was happening.

“ Careful.” Zoe helped me back on the bed after taking a shower.” Can I at least take a walk in the garden?”

“ You don't put pressure on your foot, remember?” The same reply I have been getting for the past few days.” But my foot is almost healed.” I protested and she shook her head.” Don't look at me like that because I can't give you what you want.” She places the dryer back in the closet.” What do you mean by that?”

“ Alpha Cronus gave the orders before he left,” Zoe explained, and I bit on my bottom lip. Was I his prisoner?

Wasn't a prison better than myself?

“ Don't be sad, he has your best interest at heart.” My sad eyes stared up at Zoe.

How could someone like him have the best interest?

He hates me so much because of my father, and now that my father is no more…

I felt tears in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall.

He was going to force me to pay for whatever my father owed him.

Maybe it was better if I wasn't saved.

Days went by, and my foot was healed even though it wasn't completely healed. The bandage was taken off because, according to Doctor Callous, I wouldn't need it.

I felt good to finally walk on my own without being supported, though I was still not allowed to leave the room.

I figured I had to talk to Cronus because everyone listens to him around here, but how? I haven't seen him for the past few days.

The night was cold, and the sky bright; my eyes stared up at the faraway sky, and I couldn't help but miss my father.

I pulled the red hairpin in my hair and stared at it with so much sadness blazing in my eyes. It was the last gift I received from my father before he died, my fingers clenched around it like a treasure.

“ What if my father owned him?” I whispered, staring up at the bright sky before me. I had always wanted to be free, free like the birds, but he guessed that wasn't possible.

I gulped when the hairpin slipped through my fingers and dropped down below the balcony.

I stared down at the distant ground, fearing that I had lost it forever.

I can't possibly lose it; it was the only thing I have left of my father.

I turned towards the door, barefooted. I walked slowly down the stairs through the quiet living room and finally out of the building.

I walked around the building and to the back. I wasn't sure how I was going to find it, considering how dark the place was, but I must look for it.

“ Who allowed you out of the room?” The sudden, deep voice made me freeze, and my back stiffened.

Why was he here?

    { Alpha Cronus }I stayed in the comfort of my office and haven't seen her for the past few days, but I have been getting an update on her from Callous, Drew's uncle, who was also a doctor in the pack, and according to him, she was recovering.“ The bandage has been taken off, and she can now walk freely without hurting her good foot,” Callous explained. I unconsciously sighed in relief, and Callous scoffed. “ She is quite obedient.” He added before turning to leave my office. A frown clouded my eyes as I watched the closed door. What did he fucking mean by she is obedient?I close the document before me and lean in my seat. What the fuck did Callous mean when he said she was obedient?I mindlinked Zoe to come into my office, and in less than two minutes she was standing before me.” How is she doing.” I buried my face in the document and started writing on it.” She has been recovering pretty fast…” “ That is all I needed to hear.” I cut her off. “ Okay, alpha.” “ Does she take her

    { Grace } I stood on the balcony, looking down at where my hairpin had fallen for almost thirty minutes without moving an inch. I knew getting down there wasn't a good idea, especially when I was likely to encounter him again. There was no way I was letting that hairpin slip out of my possession. I thought for a while, and then Zoe came into mind; what if I asked Zoe to help me look for it? Would it be rude? Besides, it was late. I let out a frustrated sigh. “ You aren't asleep yet?” I turned back from the balcony. “ I didn’t mean to startle you,” Zoe said, and my gaze lowered down to the glass of water in her hand, and I knew immediately that it was for me. She had been very attentive towards me for the past few days, and I appreciated it. That was why I wouldn't stress her more than I have already done.” No, it's okay.” I stepped forward and took the glass before walking to the bedside to get the tablets. “ You should rest early.” Zoe was about to turn when an eerie growl res

My dress was bought a week before and since it was my eighteenth birthday, I couldn't wait to meet my fated mate, that was if he would be among the guests.My father had his beta take care of the guest list while the rest of the preparation was personally taken care of by my father, alpha Moses from the star pack.I was just as excited as every girl in my shoes would; turning eighteen meant a lot of things, which included shifting for the first time. My excitement remained intact as I patiently waited for the day. I would open my closet and look at my beautiful blue gown, which was adorned with silver and pieces of crystals every night, before climbing to bed.The excitement grew with each passing day. The more the time approached the more eager I got until the day finally arrived.I lost my mother at a tender age so I only had my father to dote and care for me.My only regret was that night and I wish I could turn back the hands

    {Grace} A beautiful and modern chandelier hangs above the white ceiling. The huge living room was four stairs lower than the medium dining area at the left corner of the room which has a long table with almost eight chairs surrounding it. The glass windows at the side were covered with white curtains. Long couches and a brilliant sofa sit right next to the window, with a huge modern television hanging against the wall. I was expecting to see at least someone at the table and there was only one plate. “ Alpha Cronus is out of the pack and won't be back until tomorrow,” Zoe says as she walks over to the table with a bowl. I furrowed a brow as I wondered why the name sounded familiar. “ Have a seat, I'm sure you will love what I made.” She says with a warm smile but I don't move a step. My hand kept squeezing the edge of my dress as I stared at the single plate on the table with tears swaying in my eyes. I have never had a meal alone. I always ate with my father. “ Are you ok

    { Grace } The sudden ring of his cell phone broke the stillness in the room and his gaze slowly pulled away from me. “ I will be there.” His voice was cold, deep, and filled with authority. Anyone would sense the power that radiate from him. Our eyes met once again as he pulled out of his seat and started towards the huge black door, his broad back disappearing at every step he took. I bit on my bottom lip but not painful enough to make me wince. “ Come and eat before your food gets cold.” Zoe's gentle voice pulled me out of my thoughts. With a warm smile on her face, I hesitatingly strode over to the long table and took a seat.“ I'm glad you finally decided to eat something.” I picked the fork and the knife at each side of the plate.” I hope you enjoy your breakfast, call me if you need anything.” She packed his plate and was about to leave when I spoke. “ Grace.” “ You have such a beautiful name.” her gentle gaze lingered on me for a few seconds before, she disap

The misty smell of rotten leaves and after rain filled my nostrils.With the dark space of the forest, I could feel my heart pounding violently and my every step resounded in the dim forest. The rattling sound of animals could be heard, the cold wind rushing through my hair and swaying it back and forth.The sound of dry leaves crushing under my feet each time my feet collide with the cold ground. I didn't know how long I had been running, but the forest seemed bigger than I anticipated. I could see the unending darkness ahead, but my feet were already given up as I could feel immense pain under my feet.A low growl resounded in the eerie forest, piquing a newfound fear in me, but I didn't stop running.
