I saw someone's hand grabbing the butt of the knife and pulled it out from my arm. I screamed in pain. I was bleeding heavily. The whole hall went silent. Everyone was shocked. I was again forced to get up. I looked into the person who just attacked me and was still grabbing my injured arm right where I was bleeding.
A very beautiful girl with ocean blue eyes, matching her pale white skin and pitch-black long hairs were touching her knees. Her clothes were ancient-looking. That white piece of clothing that was wrapping her whole body was making her look like a goddess from an ancient myth.
But her action startled everyone. Even Zen was taken aback by her sudden behaviour.
"Claire! You are going too far. Leave her hand, " the oracle ordered.
"Tsk- How dare you to put your filthy hands on my mate, you b! tch?" she asked ignoring the oracle.
"Mate?" I asked back confusedly. My arm was hurting like hell. She was still applying p
When I came out of the hall, I finally got the chance to pay attention to my surroundings. Surprisingly I wasn't being held as a captive anymore. The constructions had changed so much in the past few years. But there were way more people outside than I imagined and it was quite clear by their attires that they weren't from this pack.Even though no one was with me to put cuffs on my hands but there was a feeling of continuously being watched. Guessed I was a prisoner after all.And so looking for Alex still made sense more than trying to free Edward by myself. Besides all the people were moving busily. It seemed like they were preparing themselves for a festival.Alex had vanished without a trace. I never saw him after that morning's little argy-bargy."I guess he is only good at appearing in exasperating moments," I thought."Hey, you girl! Keep that bottle away right now!" A man with a flabby stomach came out o
Claire and the brunette girl shifted into their wolf forms. The intense fight commenced shortly. The enthusiasm of the fight was encrusting the whole arena. The mystery that everyone appeared to know was still encircling my mind. If the other packs were fighting to have the position of the luna in our pack, then there had to be some sort of significance. The loud cheering pierced through my eardrums, hitting my vestibules so hard, making me lose my equilibrium. The ruthless, crude blows of claire placed lethal injuries on the other wolf's body. The brunette retaliated, not wasting a second. The crowd cheered from both sides. My state of dizziness made me fall back to my knees. Ed strived to come to me, panicking. However, he got impeded by the strings. On the other side, Alex stood by me, dumbfounded. "Are you alright?" Alex questioned, rapidly kneeling by my side, getting anxious. "What happened? Are you feeling unwell? I can take you to the Alpha's room till the fight ends, you
The winning trumpet broke the awkward silence in the arena. The officials from the brunette's pack stared at their precious lady's corpse with widened eyes. A satisfactory smirk appeared on Zen's face. Claire climbed the stairs to the Luna's sacred throne. But an unrelenting groundhog day was awaiting that no one fathomed. "You people killed her!" suddenly one of the officials from the brunette's pack cried out. Claire halted midway. The man's outrageous scream drew everyone's attention. "You.Killed.Her," the man said, getting enraged. "She asked for it," Claire answered calmly. There was no change in her expression as if killing the girl was nothing. "Actually, no," Claire said again, beckoning."You people asked for it. You refused the proposition in the first place." Claire came down the stairs, standing before the man."Was it you who planned it? " Claire mysteriously asked the man, leaning and bringing her face close to the man. The guy appeared unprepared for her questio
"I can help," I said. Everyone stared at me in disbelief. "How?" Zen questioned. "Not gonna save your ass to get killed," I answered calmly. Zen stared at me coldly, clenching and then unclenching his fists. "You will not die," Zen said, attempting not to illustrate his annoyance. "Neither will he," I said, pointing to Edward. "You are not in a position to deal," Zen said, staring at me bitterly."You neither," I retorted calmly. "Either we all die here, or you can take the deal and live." I was aware Zen would break. The sound of the war drums was almost at the door. The entire pack was in chaos. There was nowhere to run and Zen was required to act rapidly. Fighting back was not even an option. "Why should I trust you?" Zen asked, clenching his fists. "What sorcery can a weak breed like you offer?" "You are wasting your time, Zen. She is only good at getting people killed. Do you believe a weakling like her can do anything?" Claire interrupted, attempting to manipulate Zen
Sounds of brutal confrontations and growls were coming from outside. The palm over my mouth stifling me was slowly withdrawn. Edward was right in front of me. However, he was calm. I turned back to come face to face with Alex. We were in a sort of cave that appeared to be hidden within the bushes. "Why are we here? Is it inside the pack? I never saw this place before," I stared at Alex and said. "We are in the pack. But no one knows about this place. You are safe here for now," Alex said. "What is your intention behind bringing us here?" I inquired Alex skeptically. "He helped me before," Edward said. I turned to Edward and then to Alex, getting confused."Can anyone explain?" I asked. "Zen sent an assassin to kill me last night," Edward said. "What? Why would he do that? He was aware I wouldn’t cooperate with them if something bad happened to you," I said."They planned to kill you as well," Alex said. "They decided to apply force if needed. They didn’t need Edward or your co
"Shush," Alex hushed, placing his index finger over his lips. The cave had opened into the woods on the other side, just above the tunnel that we used. The war hadn't concluded. The intensity of it made the ceiling of the cave shake violently. After walking for a while, we discovered the exit, covered in thick bushes. Alex began to move them to the side rapidly. Edward and I helped him to make it fast. As far as I could fathom, we were just outside the pack wall that was destroyed earlier. We came out of the tunnel, in an open space. The sky was covered with dark clouds. The moon wasn’t visible, making it even darker. We looked back to find the sea of blood, and the corpses lying on the ground. The entire scenario appeared as an absolute horror. "You need to leave," Alex said calmly.I only nodded. "Take care of her," Alex turned to Edward and said. "Thank you so much," Edward said. "I doubt I could save my wife alone if it wasn't for you." "Now, hurry up," Alex said, ignorin
"What do you want?" I coldly asked, sharply staring at Claire. Claire only smirked. Her wicked smile annoyed me to the core. "How did you get out of the pack house so fast?" I asked again, skeptically. It was barely a few hours since we left the pack. The war didn’t appear like it would come to an end so early.If my pack attacked from the pack house according to the plan, it would still require Claire more than hours to catch up to my speed, unless she followed me at the same time I left the pack.However, I couldn't comprehend how was that possible. I saw Claire entering the pack house."I appreciate your strategy," Claire said, chuckling. She continued, "That was cunning, I must accept. Even though you saved the pack from the massacre, do you think the pack is foolish?" Claire smirked again. On the contrary, I was completely quiet with Edward standing behind me. "You can fool the pack. You can fool Zen. But not me," Claire said."I don't think I have anything left to expla
I'm Ella, a wolf female. Why am I emphasising on the female part? Well, there's a lot to tell. But mainly because I am partly a human as well. By stating the human part, I'm not pointing towards the human form that every wolf has. I'm actually a breed.These all started when I was 19. But before starting my story, let's go back to the time before I was born, in a mystical world. Where every part held its own significance. My dad was an alpha male. But he willingly withdrew from the conclave for the throne of the lead alpha of the pack.Generally the wolves used to live in packs in north. We would never go beyond the boundaries. None knew what was it like in east or west. Or even barely had any ideas about how the south was.

I was born and brought up in this pack. From a young age I realised that I was different. I knew that I was not strong like others in my pack. But my father being a royal always saved me from being treated as one I never wanted to be facilitated over others. But my mom and dad used to always give their everything to protect me. Even though my father was a person of morales but even he couldn’t excuse himself from the fatherly love. I was always so distant from the pack responsibilities that I started to believe that there was nothing that this pack needed me for. In the past few years with Edward, I felt loved, I felt wanted, important. I spent my days well. But he made me realise one thing that I wasn’t born just to be judged by someone else's scale. I had my own role to play in this life. All the past memories were flowing in my head like a reel. I was moving forward to the throne. Everyone in the hall mov
