The beginning of the end

Elena's POV

Everyone in the bayou thanks that I have everything I could ever want or need just because I am a daughter of an Alpha, some might even say that I am untouchable which has become a problem because I am not getting any younger.

my father doesn't allow any of his daughters to date and especially dating someone who is not from our pack. I don't even think I want to date anyone I just know that I want to be babes greatest female Alpha I can be.

I suppose for my father is twice as hard because he doesn't have a male heir. his position and his pissition has been challenged so many times because of that and even still no one was strong enough to take him on.

Things were even harder for me because I was the daughter of the most feared alpha amongst the wolves. No other man wanted to be with me because they were afraid of my Father.

 

 Time has been favorable to my father but even I must admit that he was not as strong as he has to be and that is something we could all see that his time was near. This only brought up more questions as to who would take over from him when the time comes.

If my father had a son there wouldn't be a discussion about who take over after he is gone, even though my father didn't have a son  of his ien, he trained me twice as hard so that I can be just as good as the other guys even if that was not a man.

He said that his family has been leading the pack for generations and that the fact that I was a woman shouldn't change or take away the fact that I am rightfully the leader of this pack when he is gone.

I have always wondered what my life would be like if my mother was alive. My father was a great man but there are things that he couldn't do for me, there are days when I needed my mother instead of him.

Even still he tried his best with his girls and I must say that we all came out fine. I was not like all the other female wolves and the pack and my father knew that from the beginning.

In my werewolf form I was strong and I was bigger than all the female wolves in the pack.I guess my ancestors genes had rubbed off on me even if I was a female.

most of the men in the pack would never submit to a woman no matter how strong I am but for me it's different because I have always felt like my father was training me to stand on my own which means that I bow to no man and I submit to no wolf.

I wish I could say that was the case but I am sad to say that when my father passed away a lot of things changed for me and the rest of our pack. without a leader things just went south.

I can still remember that day like it was yesterday. My father woke up in the morning with a heavy heart he called all his daughters and he told us that he had to go and meet up with another pack.

 

 For decades, the Crescent pack which was our pack and the Luna pack have never had an alliance and for decades they have been at each other's throats, they have fought many wars and the Crescent pack always come out on top.

So when my father told us that he was going off to one of his meetings with the other pack we didn't think anything of it because he has always came back from this meeting in one piece.

my father was a strong wolf for so we never had any fears or any doubt if anything we wondered how many heads he would bring bring home, no one thought that the park would be bringing home his head this time around.

My father's head wasn't the only thing that came to our house, we had a new Alpha and he was young, much younger than my father was and he was strong, much stronger than he could ever be and that scares me because I have never seen anyone stronger than my father before.

His name is Jonathan and he takes no prisoners. He offered me and my sisters a deal,either we move out of our house as tenants and we live to serve only him or die on the spot.

My two sisters were more than willing to change their lives and make a deal with the devil, as for me, I wasn't so keen on selling my soul to the devil Alpha. I thought that he was going to kill me right there on the spot.

I still remember how scared I was but I couldn't give him what he wanted. I could not bring myself to bow down to him no matter what he promised to do to me. instead of killing me like I thought he would, he imprisoned me in a dungeon.

The dungeon was a small, dark and very cold. I had been there for weeks and I mean if I have an account for how many days I have been here I know that it has been a long time. I had no visitors and I only got food and water every three days.

I didn't need a mirror to tell me how thin I had gotten because of I knew that I was all skin and bones and if that was a full moon, I can only wonder how my wolf be like. Would I still have a beautiful white mane or would my fur shed off because of lack of Nutrition. 

I was caught up in myself sitting in a fetal position when someone came to the small window. It was the only window I had in there  which is how I was able to tell if it was night or day.

"Lena..." Someone whispered softly. 

"Elena are you there?" a soft voice called out, I recognised my sister's voice. I hadn't spoken to her in weeks. 

The whole time I was in the cell I kept on wondering how my sisters were doing,  I was wondering if they were being treated with some decency.

I wodered if they went to bed hungry like me or if they had enough to sleep. Whilst I slowly rotted in that dungeon, my sisters where the only thing I could think about. 

My father would have wanted me to protect them by any means necessary but that didn't mean that I had to submit to any man or wolve in order foe me to do that.

"Hannah? Hannah is that you?" I said as I stood up from the floor and went to the window.

"Elena I don't have much time so you have to listen to me and listen very carefully ok?" My sister said through the window. 

"Okay..." I said.

"Lena you have to submit to him." She said. 

"I will never, not to him or any other man." I said.

"Elena I risked my life to come here and talk to you, Jonathan said that you have ran out of time, he said that you should submit and accept him as an Alpha or suffer a fate worse than death." Helena said.

"What do you mean a fate worse than death, whatever it is can't be worse from what I've been through these last weeks" I asked her.

"Lena he is going to chain you in the next three days." She said.

I didn't want to be in chains especially with a full moon but I would be back to human form in a few hours, I don't see how that can be a problem. 

"I have been in chains, Locking me here is the same as that, I don't care." I said. 

"You don't understand. " She said in panicked voice. I don't think I've ever seen my sister so scared before. 

"Then tell me..." I said. 

"He is going to chain you the silver room when you turn." She said.

"That room hasn't been used in decades, everyone agreed that it was built by backwards savage Alphas for the most harshest of punishments." I said. 

This is because of the room is full of silver and not only that but it had enchanted silver chains that had the ability to lock you in your werewolf state until the next full moon.I have never been a wolf for more than a few hours before . 

"He wouldn't, the pack will fight for me, I am still their Alpha's daughter, the pack protects each other. " I said.

"Not this time sis, we are on our own. No one is coming to rescue us." she said with a sad tone.

"I don't care, I'm not afraid of him." I said. 

" Jonathan is not like the other alphas. he is brutal and he is heartless but he is not without mercy, which is why we are still alive today and which is why he is still keeping you alive." she said. "Just do what he asked so that you can be free again. " She continued to say.

" where was his mercy when he chopped off our father's head and took his place as the crescent moon Alpha even if he is not of the Crescent bloodline? what mercy did he give me when he lock me in this cold, dark room  with no food for weeks on end?

where was his mercy when he threw us out of our home, the home that we have known all our lives, the home that belong to our ancestors? where was his mercy when he changed you and our sister into his slaves?" I asked her.

"Sis, you have to stay alive, you're all we have, please just submit..." she said. 

" No! I would rather die." I said to her. 

"I have to go, remember that the full moon is in three days, three days is all you have." She said and left. 

I can see what this guy was trying to do, he was trying to break me. He was trying to break my spirit like he has done to so many others before me. I won't let him though. He will have to kill me first. 

My sister left and I can only wonder what is going through her head right now, she was right when she said that I had to survive but submitting was not going to be the way I do it. I will never submit to him. He killed my father and but I cannot forgive.

I was supposed to get food and water that day but somehow my rations didn't come. I guess this could only mean that my sister was right about me having to experience at the harshest of punishments from Jonathan.

I cannot and I will not submit to Jonathan because my father didn't raise me that way he raised me to be a strong woman and I have to do my utmost best to be strong.

A day passed and Jonathan himself came to see me. I didn't think that I would ever see his face again at this point. I had been starved for tour days and he had my food and water.

"Hey there little wolf..." He said. 

"What do you want? Haven't you tormented me enough?" I asked him. 

"I'm here as your Alpha so you will adress me as your Alpha little wolf." He said. 

"Never! You will NEVER be my Alpha!" I said with venom in my tone.

"They did say you're a bit of a trouble maker, don't worry, you'll soon learn that you have to submit to survive little wolf. " He said. 

"You can starve me all you want! you can even toture me but I'll never submit to you." I said.

"We'll see little wolf,  we'll see." He said and threw me a bottle of water and two apples then left the room. 

Jonathan might have everyone fooled but not me. I was not going to submit to him as an Alpha because I am supposed to be the leader of this pack.
