Hearing this words suddenly made me go dump.
I lay in complete darkness for hours, with my eyes wide open, hugging my myself and hunted by the struggling final breath of the she-wolf across me.
She whimpered in pains and cries for death until she finally got choked on what I assumed was her body fluids.
The voice kept on replaying in my ears, filling my body with goosebumps.
Tears couldn't stop flowing from my eyes. I was caged in this empty room, swallowed in darkness, awaiting what so ever that was to befall me.
I was feeling so much pains both physically and emotionally, and my body felt like it was doing to leave me at any moment.
Seeing the torture this woman was subjected too, already made me realize that I won't be able to endure such a torture.
All I could think of was my poor parents whose last image of me was my confused, and homeless figure being banished away from the Wheatstone pack.
It was so sad that I couldn't even say goodbye to them or my little brothers. The only thing I wished at the moment was to go back home and be with my family.
While still lost in thoughts, the door flew open and there stood a huge figure. I couldn't see him completely because it was dark in here. He walked towards me, with his eyes full of pleasure.
"So you must be the new pretty she-wolf in my collection?", He asked as his long fingers reached out to my head and grabbed a handful of my fragile hair almost ripping it off it's root.
"I have been waiting for so long for you to wake up, as I'm already getting quite bored of playing with the other she wolves", he said as his cold eyes looked up and down at me.
"I'm going to have so much fun with you", he said as his abhorrent breath made me want to throw.
He pulled my hair roughly, closer to him. I felt his breathe closer to my scalp, as he inhaled the smell of my hair. I let out a loud growl full of anger and bitterness.
He threw me roughly, letting me tumble hard on the ground. The manacles on my hands pulled my ankles painfully, filling me with so much pains on my already injured arm.
"You must learn to respect me, you little bitch", he yelled at me, as he heavy fast slap came down hard to my face.
The sound of his hand hitting my face echoed through the entire room. I fell to the ground landing against the same cheek I had burnt as a result of the silver.
He grabbed my neck so tightly that I actually found it hard to breathe properly, then he walked steadily towards the door; dragging me like a helpless dog.
HIs cold arm was wrapped so tightly to my throat, that I began to black out in my vision due to lack of air.
I began crawling at his legs, trying desperately to let him take his hands off me but he was so persistent and violent.
"I am going to teach you how to act like a good puppy, he said as he threw me with so much force farther away from him, causing me to tumble like a bouncing ball.
I couldn't help but shed tears, as all my body were now in severe pains and full of injuries.
My head was beginning to spin violently, as it felt as if I was going to pass out.
I could hear him stomp around like a kid looking for what to entertain himself with.
Being able to put myself together, I began to come back to my senses, as my vision was starting to become more clearer.
I found myself in a small room, filled with so many torturing device.
Fingers claw marks and blood stains covered the whole walls, and it kind of like smells like dead bodies.
I could see dead wolves and human heads hung up like medals.
Looking around, I saw the head of a dummy placed on a table, and on its head was nailed a humans face.
Seeing all these made me gasp in horror as to what was going to be my fate.
He suddenly came closer to me, as I could hear his irritating laugh so close to me.
He wrapped something around my neck, and I couldn't help but scream in pain. It was actually a metal collar that had silvers around it.
The smell of my roasting flesh, filled my sense of breath, and I couldn't help but fall to the ground helpless.
"Now you listen to me you bitch. If you want it off you, then you have to beg severely", he said as his lips curled into a sadistic smirk.
Very exhausted, I kind of like found it difficult to move a muscle, talk more of to say a word, but I really wanted to say something, which I finally did.
"I would rather watch my entire neck burn, than for me to beg an imbecile like you", I said as I spat to his face.
And out of anger, I received another slap on the face; sending my face downwards.
Suddenly, I could feel a familiar movement inside of me. My wolf was finally back, for I could hear it's howling.
Ignoring the silver placed on the collar around my neck, I placed my hands on the collar and tried as much as I could to set myself free.
He hovered around me, laughing at my desperate attempts to set myself free from the collar.
"Ohhh, look at the way you tiny, little hands has got burnt", he mocked me, as he pulled my wrist closer to him, and holding a tight fist on my bleeding wrist.
It was so painful for me to endure, although the pain on my neck was much more painful for me to handle.
My pain only seemed to amuse him even more. I could hear the sound of my bone been shattered, and the pain made my vision blur.
An uncontrollably scream left my mouth, echoing through the entire room. I felt as is I was about to pass out, and never to wake up again.
"Alpha!!, Alpha!!", A voice shouted from the other side of the door.
"Alpha, we have to leave here right now. Some of our hunters have been found dead, and I think that this could be the other rogue's after us. We could be under attack", the panicked voice said.
I felt the collar unclip form my neck, falling to the ground while I fell next to it. The alpha scoffed in anger, as he grabbed me by my wrist, and pulled me to the ground as he moved.
"Let's go bitch", he barked.
I wanted to scream and create an alarm to notify the enemies that we were around. But no words left my mouth, as everything around me was still blurring.
"Let me go you bastard!!!!", I kicked and screamed refusing to go along with him; so I thought I was doing. But in reality, I was just like a lifeless body lying on the ground, unable to move a muscle.
"Alpha, I think we should leave her here, as she would end up slowing us down", the panicked voice came yet again."Just shut it. I won't loose another one", he yelled at the guy. "Let's go", he ordered.My vision was too blurry to see much of what was happening around me. I could no longer breath properly, neither could I feel the weight of my body. I suddenly felt a hand grip harshly at the root of my hair. The alpha threw me over his shoulders like a sack of which I was at that moment. I was just slipping in and out of consciousness, and I found myself going inconsistently through time.My lungs were as if they were collapsing, and I was still unable to say a word as every breath seemed like a struggle for me. Frantically, I began breathing steadily through my nose and mouth, trying to inhale as much air as possible.Unconsciously, I let out sobs and screams, but it all fell on deaf ears as my words never left my lips. Trapped in my unconscious body, I began pleading and beggin
As a warrior of the Wheatstone park, waking up every morning, and carrying out my daily training wasn't a new thing to me.During the night, I ensure to have a long and peaceful night sleep, to avoid being quickly stressed out for the next day.It was dawn already, and all the werewolves of our pack came out for our usual training. I had already covered lots of laps, just to make sure I was able to end at or before 5mins, but I just wasn't able to do so even when father kept on encouraging me to do more. I ran so fast, even faster than the others. After I had completed so many rounds, but wasn't able to meet up to my expectations, father decided that the training should come to an end, and at the spot, I stopped. I was completely exhausted, already soaked in my own sweat. I was breathless, and my heart beating faster than ever. "How many minutes is it dad?", I asked father. "Five minutes and six seconds", he said looking at the stopwatch he held at his hand."Good shot Esme, you di
Inside the pantry, I tucked myself behind the bags of cereals, hoping to have a quiet moment with my snacks. Silently, I opened the packaging of my favorite banana juice, careful not to make any noise. The taste was delightful, a little comfort to myself as I savored each bite of my snack. But before I could finish, I heard footsteps approaching.“Hey, what are you up to in there?”Startled, I looked up to see my mother’s face peeking around the corner, a knowing smile on her lips. My little brothers and father were just behind her.“You’re caught red-handed,” she teased, pulling me into a warm embrace.Her scent, like Jasmine, brought back memories of being comforted as a child. My father, however, shook his head, mockingly stern as he took the juice from my hand.“You know you shouldn’t be eating so much sugar,” he chided gently.I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. “Dad, I’m 20. I can make my own choices.”He laughed, and I knew his concern came from a good place, even if I wasn’t in
"Nothing is wrong, okay. You guys should go ahead, I will catch up", I replied as I was smiling brightly, with butterflies fluttering my stomach. My parents agreed and Left, as my brothers followed in toe. I bent down to clean up the mess from the slice I had earlier dropped. After disposing it in the garbage, I reached out to the sink and began to wash my hands under a warm running water. The sun was still peeking above the trees that covered our pack territory. It shined through the window in front of me, there by lightning up the entire kitchen. Like an alarm, Alaric began screaming. "Here!!, mate!!".The butterflies in my stomach turned into a zoo of animals. A strong scent consumed me, as I began hearing the sound of footsteps walking towards me. The smell was strong like a smoke. I turned around quickly, my hands still soapy and wet. My eyes widened as I met a familiar pair of dark emerald eyes.“Dave?”, It was actually Dave the soon to be alpha. Dave stood at the other sid
I sneaked in, making sure to be unnoticed, and sat down with my family whose table was at the middle of the stage."Where have you been?","And what have been keeping you up stairs?", My mother scolded, but I didn't respond.She couldn't ask further questions as she was in the mist of a lot of crowd. I wanted to make up a perfect excuse, but as I was about to speak, there it was again, "That scent that smells of smoke". Dave walked on stage and stood close to his parents. As he looked up, our eyes immediately caught each other. My wolf was howling, "mate!!, Mate!!", She whined. Dave altered a few words, while Mirabel encouraged him by rubbing her hand on his back. All this while Dave stood on the stage, we never broke eye contact as he grabbed the microphone into his hands, bringing it closer to his mouth.Dave stood confidently on the stage, holding the microphone. His gaze swept across the crowd, his eyes finally locking with mine. It was intense, penetrating. My heart skipped a b
Mirabel’s voice, once soft and pleading, turned ice-cold, her eyes burning with fury.“Esmeralda was chosen by the moon goddess herself, and you spit in the face of that blessing for some worthless girl like Eudora?” Her voice cut through the air, dripping with disdain. She took a step closer to her son, eyes hard.“It’s all because of her, isn’t it? She has you under her spell, making you forsake your duties as Alpha, making you a disgrace to this pack!”Mirabel’s hands clenched into fists as she continued, “I should’ve known it was her doing—the minute you started rejecting your mate, I knew! But mark my words, Eudora will never sit as Luna of this pack. If you won’t reject her, then I will banish her myself!” Her voice rang with the authority of an elder, her aura growing stronger, igniting the room with tension.Dave’s father, Nathan, sat in the corner, his face grim and tired. As the former Alpha, he had spent years guiding the pack with strength and wisdom, but this… this was di
“No! Not them!” I screamed with every ounce of strength I had left, my voice cracking under the pressure of my anguish.“I’ll go. I’ll leave the pack. Just—just leave my parents out of this,” I pleaded, finally giving in to the crushing weight of defeat.“No, sweetheart,” my mom whispered through sobs, her face already streaked with tears.I tried to stand, my legs trembling beneath me, and reached out to my father’s arm for support. Disoriented, I clung to him as though he were the only thing tethering me to this world. Nathan’s expression softened, and although he had released Dave, his son stood stiff and silent, watching me with cold detachment. There wasn’t even a flicker of empathy in his eyes.“I’m going to find a way to come back. I won’t stay away from my family forever,” I sobbed, my voice thick with emotion. “I love you all so much.”Father looked conflicted, his voice choked with emotion as he said, “I can’t let you go, my dear. If you leave, we all go.” He glanced at my m
"Just be quiet, okay? I’m hungry!" I yelled angrily, my voice shaking with frustration and exhaustion.The wolves growled, low and menacing, as I stepped closer to the carcass. Their glowing eyes followed my every move, and the largest of them, who I assumed was the alpha, stepped forward, baring his teeth. I froze, my stomach rumbling in defiance of the danger in front of me.The alpha's snarl deepened, his warning clear. I was invading their feast, and I had no right to their kill. Fear spiked through me, but my hunger was overwhelming. "Please," I muttered, my voice shaky but pleading. "I’m starving. Just let me have a bit... I won’t take it all."The alpha held my gaze for a moment longer before stepping back, his growl lowering in volume. The others, still wary, followed suit, reluctantly giving me space but keeping their distance. Finally seeing an opening, I took the chance. I grabbed the antelope’s leg and pulled it towards me, my hands trembling as I tore into the bloody fl
