CHAPTER 4

Livia's POV:

Oh no! I almost escaped their sight, if my hair had been left black by the moon goddess, I'm sure I wouldn't have been noticed by the enemies. “Is my hair a blessing or a curse?” I cried out in my heart.

“You there behind the bushes, come out now!”

“Maybe If I stay still they'll give up and go on their way, besides it's almost dawn,” I thought to myself.

“I said come out this instant!” the voice sounded again, this time coming closer. He came to the side of the bushes and looked down directly at me, I felt a grip on my shoulders as he yanked my hands to pull me out!

Looking at this man in front of me, there were scars on his face, one which started from his temple down to his eyebrows cutting across his left eyes. I could sense his powers but his is from a lower rank than that of the Beta's. He looked down angrily at me like he could fling me across the forest with any slight provocation, I closed my eyes anticipating what is to come.

“You stubborn little brat! How dare you disobey my command!” He roared, sending a resounding slap across my cheeks.

I staggered trying to maintain my balance but my legs gave out as I fell to the ground, my cheeks stinging from the slap he gave me and hot tears falling freely from my eyes.

He pulled me up dragging me across the blood stained battle ground, fresh images from earlier came playing in my mind as a feeling of nostalgia enveloped me.

When we got to the rest of the group, he threw me across the floor as I landed at the foot of the Beta.

“Who do we have here?” he cast a mocking gaze at me.

“I found her hiding behind the bushes, obviously thinking she could outsmart us. Fortunately for us, her white hair gave her away,” the scared faced man told the Beta. “What do we do with her now?”

“Well, time is not on our side, we'll take her back as a gift to Alpha Xandro, she's a pretty one!” He said, pushing my hair back as he caressed my face. “Bring her along.”

One of the warriors came out and immediately he picked me up, they all transformed back to their wolf form as they started running heading towards the east of the forest.

The werewolf who picked me up was running without a single care in the world as my body brushed the trees and my head went up and down continuously. I soon felt dizzy and didn't know when I lost consciousness.

***** *****

I slowly opened my eyes as the rising sun already brought life to the forest and I couldn't feel the galloping movement of the warriors anymore, they slowed down their pace as the syneries were gradually changing, my body once again came alive in this beautiful forest, the colorful birds and flowers, the scent of nature awakening my senses, I could feel my pupils dilate as I marvel at this wonderful sight, too bad it wasn't for me to enjoy as I was now a captive in the mercy of these mysterious werewolves and I didn't know what awaits me.

I'm thankful the warriors decided to slow down their pace. At least I have a chance of appreciating nature once more. We passed by a bed of gloomy flowers that bloomed once my fingertips came in contact with them. This is my gift from the moon goddess, the gift of Life!.

I felt the morning breeze on my neck as the warrior released his firm grip on me. I shifted my neck to look at his face, our eyes met as he smiled at me, his blue eyes emitting nothing but kindness.

“What's wrong with him?” I thought to myself. “ I'm not about to smile at someone who's holding me captive.”

“I'm only carrying out orders,” he whispered to me as if he could read my thoughts.

“I'm not talking to someone who contributed in attacking my pack!” I needed not to say much as I sensed he could read my eyes.

The trees soon gave way to a giant iron gate as the people gathered around to welcome their warriors, I could sense curiosity from them with their gaze piercing into my soul.

“Who's the white haired lady?” One of the women whispered to another who stood near her.

“Her eyes are green, maybe she's from another species!” another said.

I could hear everything they were saying, word for word thanks to my super hearing ability. I bowed my head to hide my eyes from them but I could do nothing to hide my hair.

This pack surpassed my pack in many ways, by number, by size, their buildings are massive and they seem to be of higher intelligence. We passed by their training ground, the building there was five times the size of ours, their training equipments were of high standards. If I couldn't fit in then at the Rogues pack, I have no chance of fitting in here.

Suddenly I felt chills and goosebumps grow on my skin, someone was watching me. Well everyone's eyes were on me but this one is different.

I raised my head up and twisted my neck sideways in search of this mystery person but I could only meet more curious eyes, I sensed it again, this time it was coming from the training building.

I caught it! A pair of gold colored eyes fixated on me. My body twitched as I squinted my eyes trying to make out the face of this mystery man, he seemed to care less as he turned his face to continue his training.

We passed the training ground and now gradually approached another building, this one's bigger than the rest with ancient designs imprinted on the walls making it stand out amongst all buildings and I knew at once that this would be the residence of the Alpha.

The warriors were welcomed by the guards as they gave way for us to proceed inside, I could feel their gaze as they stared intently at me.

Once we were inside, my jaw dropped. I've never seen anything as majestic as this in my entire 17 years on earth. The interior decorations were given ancient designs with a touch of classiness.

“Welcome my noble warriors!” a voice rang out from the dining area.

“Long live Luna Lysandra!” the warriors chanted at once.

“Luna Lysandra?” I turned my head to look at this woman who seemed to be the commanding voice around here, possessing the structure and stance like that of a female warrior, her short blonde hair resting at the base of her back, her deep blue eyes seemed to have some sparks of fire in them and a dangerous aura surrounded her.

Just then a man who seemed to be in his early twenties came out, his dark brown hair complementing his light skin, his blue eyes held no power as his aura appeared weak.

“Who could this man be?”
