Chapter 2

SEEKING FOR HELP

The sound from my alarm kept buzzing and ringing in my head but I was too tired to get up, I sluggishly turned it off and went back to sleep.

The alarm rang again ten minutes later, I frowned but managed to sit up even though I was still feeling sleepy. I picked up my wristwatch by my bedside and looked at it, it was 6:00am already.

I jumped up, the sleep immediately clearing up from my eyes. I had a class scheduled for 7:00 a.m. and I was almost late, just had an hour to prepare for school. I also had plans to visit the MoonStone pack after my classes that day.

I rushed inside the bathroom to have a quick shower, quickly sorted my clothes and was about to put on some clothes when I realised that my roommate was still sleeping heavily. In fact, she was snoring loudly and I am sure our neighbours heard her snore.

I glanced at her and tried to wake her up but something stopped me. Wasn't my business, so I shrugged and continued putting on my clothes.

I dressed up quickly and was ready to leave. I checked the time again and realised I was not kate so I stood in front of the standing mirror to see how I looked, I could not help but admire my beautiful self.

I looked dashing in my knee-length gown that clung to my body, bringing out all my curves. I allowed my black, long hair to relax on my back. I smiled at my reflection as I was looking stunning and my make up was on point, I adjusted what needed to be adjusted and got out.

I am a moderate, caramel-skinned woman with curves in the right places. I am about 5'8 feet tall and have an oval-shaped face, cute lips which I always applied lip gloss and a well carved nose.

I got to class and heads started turning when I entered, I liked the attention I was getting. I could hear whispers of some students discussing about me, how hot I was looking. Even Mr. Fred, the history lecturer could not help but stare at me. He followed me right inside the class.

The class was so noisy. It was filled with a group of young people, Brian included. I got a little bit nervous when I saw him. He noticed I was nervous and looked at me in a very scary way.

I wondered what he was doing in my class when Helen motioned for me to stay calm, she noticed I was nervous as well. I wanted answers, I wanted to know what Bryan was doing in my class.

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

I waited in school after the day's classes. I wanted to make my journey to the MoonStone Estate at night since I didn't want anyone to know about my plans apart from Alicha who had given me the address.

I set out at exactly 9pm, I knew it was risky but I would rather face it and take the steps involved rather than to continue being bullied.

"Ahhhhhh" I heard a female voice scream. It felt like someone was in trouble and I was literally scared, so much so that I literally peed slightly in my pants. The scream sent chills down my spine and I fastened my steps. I started walking very fast, then the sound came again. I didn't know what to think anymore, so I started running, then I saw a big black beast run past me.

I haven't seen any animal this big in my entire life. It's speed was so fast and when it ran past, it looked at me. I saw its eyes and it was green and fierce, I was terrified now.

To make things worse, it stood right in front of me and growled at me. I was frightened now, who would save me from this vicious animal. Is this how I would die?

"Please, don't hurt me" I pleaded. Immediately, it ran away leaving me to myself. I looked around with my heart almost in my mouth and there was no one around, I continued running.

I ran until I got to the address given to me. There was a big door which I ran to and banged on the door as my life depended on it.

Luckily for me, it was not locked when I pulled the door knob but I didn't want to go inside uninvited. I knocked again and a very fine black boy opened the door.

"Are you okay? Why are you running like you are being chased by a ghost?" He uttered as I quickly got inside the house.

"I.... I am fine" I stuttered, breathing heavily. "Okay" He said. "How can I help you?" his big eyes pierced through my very thoughts, like he could see through me. I knew werewolves had the ability to hear thoughts, though I don't understand why I am seeing a black boy instead of white as described.

"I want to see Alpha Damien" I finally spoke with the last courage I had gathered. The young man was astonished with my request.

"What did you say?" He asked fiercely. "I said I want to see the leader of the Moonstone pack" I uttered again with so much boldness that showed that I wasn't scared.

"Well, He is not available " he said as he banged the door but before he could take another step, I intercepted him.

"But, that's not true. I heard he is usually around by this time, that's why I came here this night" I said. "Well, I cannot help you. Sorry" He said and left me outside by that time.

I looked around and did not know what to do. I was also scared that big animal may come back so I decided to knock again. I knocked on the door again and this time, a white guy came out.

"Hi, I am Vivian" I greeted him. The guy was very handsome and fit all the descriptions I was given about the Alpha of the MoonStone pack.
