"You are welcome to the world of werewolves," he said resting his back on the comforter and looking into my eyes smirking.
It started as a chuckle and then led to full-blown laughter, I laughed so much that tears dropped from my eyes and my stomach hurt. He was good, I almost fell for it. What in the world? Out of everything, the only thing he could come up with was werewolves. Seriously? Anytime I want to sober up and say something his words just replay in my head and am back to laughing again. But as I looked up at him, a crisp between his eyebrows and a frown on his lips and his stares unflattering, my laughter died as I began to wonder if truly they existed."You are kidding, right?, I mean there is nothing like werewolves, those are children's fantasy, bedtime stories". I could take her to the hospital but they would be at the expense of our existence leaking out, I remember what he told that other man during their conversation. Could it be true?"Well, you will die if you don't turn to that child fantasy". Evan said maintaining a frown on his face."Please don't kill me" l begged frantically. I didn't run from New York to Alaska to die here, in a strange land surrounded by strange and good-looking people."Well I don't want to, but you would be begging me to you". In all the years that I have been tortured, never for once did I think of committing suicide instead I think of how to run from it. I don't know why I thought to commit suicide but am never doing it again."why?" I said curious about why he thought so. He didn't say anything but slowly unbuttoned the green shirt he was wearing and took it off, I blushed when I looked and saw how muscular he was underneath, he stood up to take off his pants and I averted my gave looking at my hand as I used my hair to cover my face so he wouldn't know that I was now a tomato red. " Can I ask why you are undressing..." I wasn't through when I heard the sound of something cracking painfully. I couldn't help but look up and I didn't expect what I saw next. It was Evan's bones cracking and breaking into contorts sickening direction, I felt bile rise to my throat at the sight of furs pricking out of his skin, sharp teeth that were peeking out of his lips, his mouth elongating, his head contorting into a muzzle and his ears getting bigger and the sound of cracking getting louder. I opened my mouth to scream but no sound came, I wanted to run but I was petrified. My mind was slow to comprehend what my eyes were seeing. What the fucking hell!. I subtly pinched myself to know if I was dreaming, but I wasn't watching a human slowly change into a wolf and that is when the seriousness of the situation dawned on me.The next time I blinked he had changed to a large black wolf. He was huge, larger than your average wolf, almost the size of a damn horse. He slowly menacingly walked towards me, his muscles rippling beneath the furs. Something told me he was trying to scare me, and though I was scared I didn't give him the satisfaction of seeing it instead I controlled my breathing. He came dangerously close to me, so close I could feel his breath fanning me. The hairs on my skin were erect and Goosebumps everywhere but that didn't stop me from reaching out to touch him.Immediately he noticed the movement his ear stood in alertness and his eyes watched with curiosity. I rested my hand gently on its head or should I address it as his, am so confused. It leaned closer as I continued to rub my palm against his furs and after a few seconds retreated to where his clothes were before my mind could register what he was going to do he shifted back to his human form. I dropped my eyes down as he wore his clothes. "Did you just change to a dog?" I asked recovering from the shock. " Wolf" he corrected. Whatever, that looked painful and I don't wish to experience that." You would have to if you want to live". He walked to the door, turning to look at me over his shoulder just as he turned the knob. "You begin your training tomorrow" and with that he left, leaving me alone with only my thoughts and unanswered questions hanging in the air making it hard to breathe and difficult not to focus my thoughts on anything. Sooner than I expected I was embraced by darkness.The next morning I woke up to the sound of birds chirping, and the moon and stars ready to pass duty to the sun. I looked sideways to the bedside table where a clock rested. I stood up feeling pain all over, it seemed the pain relief they gave me yesterday had worn off. I walked into the bathroom and freshened up. I got out of the bathroom with a bathrobe a little too big wrapped around me only to find a pair of sweats neatly folded on the bed. While putting on the underwear that I found between clothes, a thought crossed my mind and I quickly changed into the sweatshirt and jugger that I found with a new thought in mind to escape before anyone else woke up. I went over to the window and looked down to see I was twelve feet from the ground. I couldn't jump or else I would sprain my ankle, so I decided to use the door. I opened the door slowly and quietly enough for me to squeeze through to avoid any creaking. I looked into the hallway to see if the place was clear.After straining my
"Don't ever try this again, we are trying to..." He stopped mid-sentence and midstride as his eyes glazed over like he was deep in thought. His body tensed up and his hold on my hand tightened making me wince in pain. He continued walking but this time faster and urgently. We opened the door to my room to see five people standing in the room and the noses of two wolves buried on the floor, sniffing for God knows what. " Her body has lost all warmth, which means she should have been dead for at least thirty minutes. She was stabbed in the heart with a knife. We also saw traces of blood in the sink and some bloody clothes in the trash." A brunette man spoke in a cold tone. I peeked at the body to see Theresa lying lifeless on the ground, in the pool of her blood, with a knife deep in her chest. I gasped as I recognized the knife. It was the same knife she came with to cut the fruit she brought in with my dinner. I had told her to leave it there since I didn't have the appetite at that t
I couldn't tell the number of days that have been locked in here, with only a broth of some kind to feed on. Which couldn't satisfy my hunger. I was growing weaker and weaker with each passing day. After days of silence, I finally heard the creaking of the door and the sound of footsteps, till footsteps stopped just outside my door as I saw two men come into view. One was unlocking the door while the other stood behind him. After trying different keys, he finally opened the door and came in. "Hope you are prepared for death himself," the taller one said yanking me off the ground and to my feet by my arm, while the other gripped my second arm. " I would keep my hands to myself if I were you," l said through gritted teeth as I felt the taller one spank my ass. "Still full of energy, aren't you ?" He laughed. How I wish to connect my fist to his nose. I don't know why these people keep shoving me forward, why don't they leave me to know how much I want to leave this place? We got into
In my last moment, I felt a needle prick me. The injection felt like a cold dagger straight to my heart, all I could feel was a rush of energy that made my mouth water and my toes curl. My eyes shot open and my vision cleared as I stared straight into the pale faces of the Alpha and Evan." How are you doing?" Evan asked passing me water to drink. " You mean while my bones are breaking into a disgusting abnormal position, fine, I guess". I said trying to lift their mood but either they didn't get the joke or they were too worried to smile. Just as I was about to smile to reassure them I was fine there was another crack. It wasn't as bad this time. Whatever they had given me made energy run through my veins and hide some of the pain. Another crack again and I wanted to scream it felt like my body was a fire hydrant of gasoline, soaking every limb of my body, as Sparks of pain lit up my body like a Christmas tree. I could imagine Denver looking at me smirking and saying 'You shouldn't h
The scent of cinnamon and coffee embraced me. I almost didn't want to leave the room.I walked out of the room quietly and walked down the hall looking for the kitchen. I turned a corner and I heard the voice of two people talking from the door ahead that was left slightly ajar. " One of the human prisoners shifted last night, and guess what" The person didn't let her partner reply before she continued. " Alpha Brandon and Beta Brandon were the ones that helped her through it, can you believe it?" "That can't be true, what will THE ALPHA be doing with a common prisoner more so a human" a second voice responded emphasizing the alpha and I could hear the shock and disgust in her tone as she spoke, it was as if the alpha was a very intimidating man and I wouldn't lie, I have seen him myself. They were talking about me that was for sure and I didn't know when I stood to listen more to their gossip. It's not like I wanted eavesdropping, I am just trying my supernatural hearing ability.
Just as I thought. His brother was the leader of the pack, but what was he? He said I am an alpha are two alphas supposed to be in a pack? More questions ran through my mind as he tried to explain this new world I found myself in. "I am an alpha so am I supposed to have a pack of my own?" I asked, I am not sure I want to lead anybody. When I decided to run, I planned on being a very normal average girl, so normal people would not notice as I passed beside them."No, you are..." I interrupted him with a loud sigh of relief. He gave what looked like an amused smile and continued. " Since you are an alpha female you are to rule beside your mate who could either be a beta or an alpha...""What do you mean by mate?" I asked interrupting him again." I would prefer if you do not interrupt. The second in command is the beta and beta females, there are other betas but they are under the first beta's control, it is just like being the vice president. The next is the gamma, they are like the u
"shift". I do not how to shift, it is not like I controlled the shift the last time. I looked at my hands wondering where to start. He saw my internal conflict and rolled his eyes. " Just imagine yourself in your wolf form" I closed my eyes and soon my ears were filled with the sound of cracking, I didn't want to look at my bone bending in an abnormal direction. I opened my eyes when the sound stopped and looked down to see paws. I still couldn't believe it. The shift wasn't as painful as the first time but it was painful. My wolf was happy to be in this form waggling tail like she was just presented with her favorite meal. I looked up to where the alpha was and something clicked in my head as his scent became stronger. The word rang in my head and the realization made me almost stagger feet. MateThat can't be possible. It can't be. I just turned, just started getting acquainted with this world I don't need a mate. Can't fate go easy on me? On the other hand, my wolf was very thri
I found myself in an empty room with light everywhere, the whole place painted white reflecting the light and making it hard to see as my eyes were slow to adjust. I was trying to figure out how I got here when I heard someone crying. I looked around again and that was when I found a door, it was also white. I guessed that is why I didn't see it before. As I went closer to the door the crying grew louder. I opened it slowly only to find darkness. I opened the door wide allowing the light in the room to flood the dark place. There was a boy, no a man bent over crying like he was in pain." Hello," I called gently but there was no response." Hello," I called out again, this time louder. He raised his head only for me to see it was Adam."Adam" Just as I called his name the door was violently slammed by an imaginary force and I woke up, it took me a few seconds to realize it was a dream. It felt surreal. I looked at the time.6: 00 amI wasn't told the time my training would start so I d
She understood what I meant and gestured for me to wait before leaving. She came back with her bag, she already removed her apron and was talking to the other woman before waving her hand for me to follow her. I stood up and caught up with her." Let's start with Sandra's house. She said she's got a new job. Her house is not far from here. Come on" she said increasing her pace. It didn't take long before we got there. It was a small cabin with a small garden at the side. The place looked welcoming and well taken care of, but it wasn't until we walked up the staircase before we thought otherwise. The wooden stair creaked under our weight with each step we took. Kaitlyn was the one who knocked on the door while I stood beside her. We waited for a few seconds before the door clicked open to reveal a woman in her mid-thirties. She was wearing a pair of pants and a blue top that had a patterned rose on it. Her blonde hair was braided making her look very young the first thing that crossed
There are a lot of problems on our hands now and I don't want to add grudges to it. I knocked on the door of Jack's house. I know Jack would be in the training ground but I was hoping Jerry would be at home. I smelled him in the house immediately after I got here, so I knew he was deliberately not answering and that is why I continued knocking persistently. ClickHe unlocked the door but didn't open it. after I realized he wasn't going to open it, I turned the knob, opened the door and walked in."What are you doing here?" He asked me. I turned to see him behind me closing the door. " I wanted to come see how you were doing" I bit my lower lips in nervousness. His eyes flickered at the motion before he went back to drinking a glass of scotch. Chugging down the whole thing. He took the bottle and was about to drink from it when I snatched it from his hands." I am fine" he slurred. Am I supposed to believe that when he is drinking this much and there is a visible bag under his eyes?
I don't know what he was about to tell her, but I knew it wasn't going to be good. So as I watched her walk elegantly back to her bed and crossed her leg, my smirk grew wider than before. The place was wide and spacious, there was an open kitchen by the side and two other doors which I assume were the bathroom and closet. The whole walls were painted white and there was no window. " Can I get you something?" She asked. Evan shook his head. I knew she wasn't asking me so I didn't bother to answer. I could feel her glaring at me but instead of exchanging glares, I looked at the room. It was simple and elegant. There was a vase sitting at the side of the room, filled with colourful plastic flowers that were in contrast to the white wall adding to the beauty of the room. There was a beautiful painting on the wall, near the bed. It was a painting of a beautiful woman holding a demon baby in her hands. The baby had furs sprouting out of the skin on his chest hands and face, and its eyes w
Adam came into view with anger contouring his face. He looked at us and everything we had prepared down. He looked back at Jerry and before I could open my mouth to say anything, he grabbed him by the neck. " What the hell are you doing with my mate." He snarled at him. I stood shocked as Jerry started to say something to calm him down but he wasn't having it. Wasn't I the one he was supposed to be angry at? I should be the one he was supposed to strangle, and whip until I was screaming out my apologies. " I said what the hell were you fucking doing with my mate," he asked again. But Jerry couldn't bring out sound as he struggled to take in breath. When I saw how white he was turning I figured out I had to do something or else he was going to kill him." Adam, it is not what it looks like, trust me," I said. I struggled to remove his hand from Jerry's neck. He released his neck and Jerry fell to the ground inhaling hair greedily. His face was white and his neck was red. I dropped my
'Evan, open up' I mindlinked him.I placed Adam's arm around my shoulder and my hand around his waist to help him support his weight even if he assured me he was fine. To other people, it would look like I was the one getting support seeing as he is huge. When the door opened, I could see the warriors all watching us in shock and some in relief as we passed. Evan rushed to the other side of Adam. He was only a few inches shorter than Adam, so it was easier for him than it was for me. 'Are you hurt?' Evan's concerned voice rang in my head.'No' I answered. Adam removed his hands from mine, as Evan put his other hand around his shoulder. The shirt I wore was bloody, but there was nothing I could do about it until I got home. We all walked together back home. The whole place was still quiet and everyone was locked in their house. I felt guilty, even if I knew it wasn't a bad thing to ask questions. When we got home, we both walked him to his room. Evan left after he had assisted him to
"Ok, I will tell you."Bracing myself for whatever he was going to say. I could hear a dramatic music playing in my head."When my father died, Beta Enoch took over the post because I was in a dungeon". He confessed. His eyes stared at my hands that I held together on my lap. Dungeon, why would they put him in a dungeon? What did he do?" What did you do?" I said quietly, uncertain if I wanted to know about it. " I killed my father" I stood up in shock looking at him with wide eyes. My eyes almost fell out of its socket and my jaw was wide open. I wasn't expecting that at all. How? Why?I kept moving backward slowly till my back hit the door. He didn't stop me as I opened the door and ran out, he just watched me. People watched as I ran out of the pack, my brain reeling with many questions. And it was when I ran to the spot where Jerry took me for the first time after a run, that I regretted leaving. My questions weren't going to answer themselves.What could his father have done to
The door to the pack house was opened. The place was filled with people as they did whatever they were doing. The noise of chattering disturbed my sensitive ear. My blood was humming loudly, snapping and cracking, getting the attention of everyone. My wolf demanded acknowledgment and respect and she didn't like that she walked in and nobody gave her that. The whole place was silent for just a minute before chattering began again but this time, it was moderate. A few people scurried past bowing their heads. My wolf smirked.'what a weirdo' I internally said to my wolf. Forgetting I was referring to myself."Hey Alaia," Luke said. He looked back at the people in the room chuckling lightly as he saw the uneasiness of the people, my blood kept humming loudly. It was compelling their attention. " Can you tone it down a little, Alpha" Evan said speaking for the people in the room. Some looked at me in annoyance, because they were involuntarily giving me what I wanted. "That is if I could"
The pack is now busy, bustling with people here and there, as they run to do their daily activities while I run back home. My wolf yipped at Luke as he saw him on his way to the pack house. I saw Amber talking to Larissa in front of a cafe. Of course, bitches will always attract bitches. I shifted in front of the house and walked in.I carried my naked self to my bathroom, not forgetting to put Sabrina's doll in one of the drawers attached to the dressing table. I turned on the shower letting the dirt wash off my body and down the drainage. After a few minutes of just standing in the bathroom, I walked out wrapping a towel around my body. I stood at the dressing table, looking at myself through the half-length mirror, remembering how I was the last time I checked the mirror. I am different now, compared to then; I look healthy, beautiful, and very much younger than my age. My hair was a darker shade of red because of its wetness, my eyes were a light green, and you could see a flicker
" Thanks," I said quietly. I felt guilty for not telling him, I had already seen my mate. We laid back on the grass, watching the sun as it slowly sat at the horizon. It was beautiful, I had always enjoyed it. It wasn't an awkward silence. It was a peaceful and comforting one. I wasn't thinking about anything just looking at the sky."As much as I would have loved to stay here with you, I think we should leave" he sighed and sat up reluctantly. I didn't want to go, but I remembered I never told Adam or Evan where I would be. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "Thanks" I muttered dusting the sand off the shirt that I wore. Instead of going back, I should just meet up with the witches at the border, since I didn't feel like going home now. " Thanks for coming," he said."It's fine. I am glad I came and I enjoyed your company" " So does that mean we could do this some other time?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and a lopsided smile. He looks really cute. I laughed and nodded. "Let'
