Olivia.
Just when I thought I had truly escaped, two hands grabbed me, I spun around, eyes wide, knowing that the guards had caught up with me. Panic surged through my veins.
They made me kneel, circling me like they were protecting me.
They were six in number, their faces were covered with masks, dressed in black clothing that made it quite easy for them to hide and blend when I thought I had lost them in the forest. Their presence reeked of an unsettling energy.
One of them had a band tied on his head, he was the strongest amongst the six, that was the way of identifying their ranks. He took a step forward and pulled my chin up.
“Please don’t kill me. I'll do whatever you want.” My voice trembled as I begged.
The leader with an intimidating voice and aura spoke in a low, menacing tone, “We are not here to kill you. Our Master has ordered that we bring you back to him alive and untouched.”
My mind raced in fear, that must not happen. I can’t face Master’s wrath. “Please do not take me back. I’d rather have you kill me here.”
“Why? We are doing a good deed by not slaughtering you here.” The leader said as a wicked grin formed on his face. He knew the exact reason why I had said I wanted them to kill me instead.
Everyone that served our master knew what he did to people that offended him when he decided to melt out punishments on his own.
“You know what Master would do to me if you take me, I don’t want to die a gruesome death,” I put my hands together, begging for my life.
The leader took off his mask and bent to my level, “Why should I let you go?”
Raising my head slowly, I recognized him from when he first joined as a new recruit. I had noticed that he was breathing amongst the other guards that our Master had murdered in cold blood.
I dragged him to a river, gave him a bath and some food I stole from the kitchen. I had saved his life. “Yo..u….” I said, more like I stammered ponting at him. “You know me, don’t you?”
He took a close look at me, “Oh my, it’s you, from the river side.” he clapped his hands once, “Olivia, that’s your name.”
The other guards seemed to recognise me when he mentioned my name, I was quite popular amongst the guards for my kindness towards them, giving them extra meals. They didn’t know my face but they sure knew my name.
I silently hoped that he took the fact that she had helped him in the past into consideration and listened to her.
“Yes, please don’t kill me, you know how Master can be and you can take me back to him. Please let me go.” I begged desperately.
Life might not have much in store for me but I didn't want to die yet. Even if I was going to die, it would not be by Master’s blade.
"I appreciate what you've done for me in the past, I really do. But you have to understand that I'm just acting on instruction. He wants you back dead or alive"
Dead or alive? If they returned me dead, he would have them skin me and make it into a coat for him. The thought of him wearing my skin made me cringe and scared the living hell out of me at the same time.
I held on to his leg, “No, you can’t do that to me, please. I will do anything you want, I can’t return with you, dead or alive,” tears begin to lace my eyes.
“You are putting us in a tight spot,” One of the guards said, “what do you want us to tell Master?”
"There's no way he's going to believe that Six of his best guards lost a wolf as weak as you" another guard said "we would be risking not just our jobs but also our lives for you"
The tears managed to escape from my eyes, “We can make up something to tell him, you can say some other rogues in the forest attacked me and ate me. I promise to live like I am dead and you would never hear of me as long as I alive,”
“I can agree to that,” The leader said, taking pity on me. That was the least he could do for me. “Keep your slide of the promise, if you don’t, I will kill you with my hands and present your skin to our Master.”
“Thank you,” I got off my knees and dusted the leaves and sand that stuck to it while I was kneeling. “I can leave now, right?” I asked him and he nodded in response.
“Thank you, Thank you so much,” I bowed severally to show how glad and relieved I was that they had helped me.
“It’s over pleasure to help you,” The leader replied to me, “You should make it out the border right now, we will wait for to cross before we leave,”
“I hope I get to repay this favor before I lie,” A smile formed on my face.
“You should start going before other rogue wolves wake up so they don’t attack you,'' one of the guards warned.
“I will be going now,” I turned around and moved my legs, racing to the cross the border, a sharp pain dug into my back, I turned to see what was going on. The guard that warned me earlier pulled out a silver knife from my back. I couldn't understand what was going on.
Why did they stab me when we had an agreement? They were trying hard to protect themselves.
I fell down on my back.
The six of them circled me and bowed their heads to apologize for what they did. I could not say a word as I was in so much pain. They had used the forbidden knife on me to make sure I was going to die.
They turned on their heels and I watched them walk away from me. I didn’t know if I was supposed to be grateful that they had killed me this way, and had not taken me to the Master.
I can’t be grateful to them, they had left me to die in the woods, even if any wolf found me right now, I would not survive the stab of the silver knife.
Third person.Damon.The Moonshadow Pack, Silverclaw Pack and the Bloodmoon Pack were three neighboring packs.They were the three strongest packs in the territory led by three of the strongest wolves. The three packs only mixed to do business and to exchange goods but they were hostile to each other because their leaders didn't like each other.There was once a time when these three packs were one, but there was a great battle between them and the pack was destroyed.The pack members chose different leaders to rule them and so they created three different packs from one big pack.That was a long time ago and the packs had different Alphas then. The Alphas of the packs had changes since then and they were all different. Damon was the Alpha of the Moonshadow pack. Christian was the Alpha of the silverclaw pack, and Jacob was the The only thing they shared was a priest. The priest was respected by every pack and the leaders of the army usually consulted him before going to fight othe
Third Person. “Damon isn’t here,'' the priest asked, sitting on the chair. “I said this was urgent.”“You should not ask us about him. We are not friends with that arrogant bastard,” Christian said. He was annoyed because of the reason why he had to be at the meeting.As usual he wanted to decline the priest’s invitation like he normally did but he had been seeing things that unsettled his mind.“Something must have delayed him,'' Jacob said in Damon’s defense. Damon was truly arrogant like Chrsitan said but he wanted their feud to end. If it was not going to end, it would not be worse.“I am sure he will be here soon,” he continued, just then Damon entered the priest's house.“You must think we are a big joke, uhn?” Christian confronted Damon. “We were told to be here immediately!” He got up from the chair he was sitting on, then moved closer to Dmaon.Damon ignored him and went to sit in front of the priest without saying a word. Jacob pulled Chrsitian back to his seat. “Stay Calm.
Chapter 5Third person.Christian, Damon and Jacob all stepped out of the priest's house and started towards their packs."You heard what the priest said, we have to go and look for her," Jacob said."I have some business to attend to, I'll meet you when I'm done with it" Damon said as he kept walking."You can do that later, now we have to go find her," Christian said, walking towards Jacob."Yes, the priest said she might be in danger," Jacob said."You don't tell me what to do, okay?" Damon said."We didn't tell you anything, the priest did," Jacob said, trying to calm them down."I already told you I'll meet you" Damon said again."We all have to be there if we find her" Christain growled, taking a step closer to Damon "If she will help save my pack then I need to find her and I'm not going to let you stop that so let's go" Damon took a step closer to Christian and soon the were face to face.Both their eyes were already changing to gold to show that they were about to switch to
Chapter 6.My head hurt badly as I cracked open my eyes, the lights above me were too bright. The bed beneath me was soft and velvety and although my entire body hurt, the sleep was very satisfying. I looked around and saw myself in a room, everything was white, the bed, the walls and even the door, except for a golden chandelier that hung from the ceiling.I couldn't remember coming here and my mind was foggy. I brought my hand up to my head and massaged my temples, feeling the ache come back slowly. Then the memories started flooding in. The meeting. The woods. The guards. The knife. The wolves that found me. Panic rose within me as I remembered the situation that I was in. I don't know who they were or what they had done to me and why I wasn't dead yet. The stab was supposed to have killed me. My hand moved to the stab wound and felt a bandage wrapped around it. I couldn't stay here. I didn't know what they wanted. They might be other packless wolves who were looking to sell me
I was led to a big room, so big that a gasp left my lips as soon as we entered the room. I tried my best to remain calm as we walked to the middle of the room where there was a big wooden table.At the top of the table, there was a man, he was wearing a shiny black suit and his eyes were the lightest shade of blue that I had ever seen. I could see them from the other side of the room. As I got closer to the table, I saw two other men sitting beside him. They all sat very upright, their faces very business-like and hard. The lady that brought me stopped at the other end of the table and pulled the chair out for me. I thanked her quietly, and she bowed her head to me before leaving. I was confused. Why was she bowing to someone like me?“Hello” I said, trying to break the silence that lingered.None of them said anything, they just kept staring at me intensely. So, I tried again.“Can you please tell me where I am?” I asked, directing the question to all three of them.This finally sn
Third person.They all watched as olivias figure was led out of the dining room. Immediately she was gone, Jacob faced them and sighed.“She was scared, and you two did not make her feel any better with your questions and tones,” he said.“It is not my job to make her feel better, if she is going to be my mate, then she would have to learn how to be stronger than this,” Christian said.“In case you have forgotten, she is not your mate, but our mate and you have no right to call her weak if you n-do not know what she has been through” damn said, again. He was tired of having to spend time with christian and damon. They behaved like unruly teenagers who had no control over their emotions.“You need to stop feeling sorry for her. She is here to fulfill a prophecy and nothing more, not to be pampered by you or anyone else.” Damon said.“I am not feeling sorry for her, I am only treating her with decency, which is something that you both need to learn” jacob saud, before getting up and st
Olivia. I was escorted back into the same room that I was staying in before. The maid kept her hands on me as she led me into the room. I thought of asking her for an explanation, but I remembered how they had reacted before when I had asked. They all looked scared to offend the alphas, and I understood that because I was also scared. I had no idea what their intentions were, so I made up my mind that I had to escape from this place. I scanned the room for a way to escape. The door outside was guarded by two guards, so there was no way that I could escape through there. As I was thinking, I sensed my wolf becoming stronger. I had missed her as we had not communicated since I ran away from the rogue pack. She needed to gain her strength back, so I let her be without trying to communicate with her. “Do you need anything?” the maid asked. “What is your name?” I asked her. She stared at me for a long time before looking around in fear, like she was scared that she might be
Third person.Jacob kept thinking about what Olivia had told them. As a child, her pack had been raided and she had been taken as a prisoner and turned into a slave. He had heard stories of how the slaves were being treated in the rogue pack, but he had never imagined that it was as bad as that. When they had found Olivia, she had looked starved, with scratches all over her body. Her eyes were sunken in and she was beginning to look like a skeleton. When she sat at the table earlier that evening, the fear in her eyes was very evident, she looked like she was picking and choosing her words so as not to offend them. He had done his best not to make her scared but Damon and Christian had made her scared.He started thinking of ways to make her feel more comfortable. She was staying in his villa. He had put her in one of the best rooms in the villa and made sure she had enough maids to order around if she needed anything, but she still seemed scared.He knew what he had to do. He had t
Olivia. I felt a small spark of excitement in my chest. I hadn’t been to a mall in more than ten years. The last memory of being in a mall was when I was nine, before our pack had been raided. My parents took me there to get a birthday present. I shook my head to clear the memory and sighed. I did not want to think about my parents. The door opened by the side and I looked out to see the driver holding it open and I was embarrassed. I had gotten lost in thought and everybody had gotten out of the car except me. Damon was standing outside, looking at me expectantly. I quickly climbed out of the car and went to stand in front of him. “we have to get some necessary things” He said, and started walking inside. I quickly followed behind him so that i wouldn't get lost but it turned out that wasn't necessary, because the crowd of people were parting as he walked. Some of them had fear in their eyes, and the rest had admiration. He walked fast, so i struggled to keep up
Olivia.I had been in my room when Jacob knocked on the door and walked in. He said he had something important to discuss with me and asked me to meet him downstairs. I nodded and got ready and went down the stairs.He was waiting by the door with a smile on his face that I still did not trust. He had explained things to me. He explained that when they saved my life, I had become their mate. I did not know what that meant but I was starting to understand why all the staff in the mansion respected me. They all attended to all my needs. My Wolf, Eva, was still healing, but I was starting to get worried. I knew the injury I had sustained hurt her a lot, but I needed her to wake up as soon as possible. She was my closest friend and I had gone too long without shifting.I stopped thinking about that and looked at Jacob. He had slowly become a friend and answered all my questions patiently. But I still had it at the back of my mind that I needed to escape. I did not need them to make me
Third person.Damon.Damon woke up earlier that morning and had a meeting with his council of elders. The meeting ended sourly and he went back to his room to rest.He had seen Mia that morning but passed her by because for the first time in a long time, he did not feel like having anything to do with her. What was going through his mind was Olivia, and it had been that way since the last time they had lunch together at Jacob's Villa. It was like he couldn’t get her out of his head. Something about her voice, her eyes, the way she bowed her head when she spoke, and the way her voice always came out slowly and cautiously, like she wasn’t sure what to say to them remained in his thoughts.She still looked like she didn’t trust any of them, and he had tried his best to bond with her, but he could not understand why she was not taking the opportunity to be close to him. A lot of women would have thrown themselves on him when they found out who he was. But it seemed like she was closer to
OliviaI was alone in the room now, Jacob had gotten a call about important business that he had to attend to and he had left the table in a rush, waving me goodbye.I was still confused about a lot of things but at least I knew where I was and how I had gotten here. But knowing that had left more questions in my head.Why would they go through such a sacred ritual to keep my life when they had no idea who I was?Had they mistaken me for someone else?What would happen when they figured out that I am just an ordinary slave?What prophecy was Alpha Jacob talking about?I made up my mind that I did not need the answers to them. I needed to find a way to leave this place immediately. I looked around. The only option to escape was the windows and I would surely die if I attempted to escape through there.Just then, an idea popped into my head. The staff in the villa seemed to respect me or at least not pay me any attention. I slipped my feet into slippers and started walking out of the
