CHAPTER 1

Getting my revenge has been my life long dream. My life long goal! My life long desire! My life long need and want!

It has been everything I have ever wanted. 

I wanted them to feel every thing I have felt ever since that night.

It is truly like a recorded tape on repeat! I can’t stop the thoughts, I can’t control them. 

It replays everytime there is a trigger and it’s every damn time I hear the word family, or Mother, or father or anything relating to having relatives.

It’s the burden I has to bear, so I could get my revenge as fast as I can.

Don’t blame me for wanting this, you don’t know how much it hurts to know that the killers of your whole family are out there living freely and happily and you get to wallow in this darkness. This sadness, this anger, this rage. 

It eats you alive and overwhelms you and whatever decision you take in that state is what you work with.

I have made my own decision, and that decision is to get my revenge on this so called Beta Pack and wipe out every single one of them.

Burn all their houses and sheds. Steal everything from them, cut off their heads with my sharpened claws and hang them on a stake. 

Just like they did to my family.

My family refused to yield to their wishes of bowing to them because they wanted to live freely and away from any oppression. But then, the then Alpha wanted nothing more than just power and to bring more wolves under his pack.

He ordered the massacre of my family to every last one of them. Apart from me who had wandered off into the woods in search of my mate because mine was coming so late.

I was a teenage girl, just like every other teenage wolf, yearning for a mate, but then, I get back to the very place I could find one and find other wolves killing them and hanging their heads on a stake. 

I never got to see or know my mate, because I was pretty sure he was killed by those idiots! And I never got to see my family again, because a dead beat Alpha was power hungry! 

Most times, I’d remember when Mom—I cringe at the thought — When my Mom would brush my hair and tell me stories about how she had met Dad, and I was so eager to experience that. 

But I never got to, because it was taken away from me. 

I do wish things were different, I do wish I wasn’t this full of spite for this pack. But every time I see them it just reminds me of how much I hate them.

These people took everything from me, my whole life was ruined because these people were power hungry. Arrrgh! It makes me sick just thinking about it. 

I wish I could just kill them right now. 

“Dan!” I call out. I have been able to gather my own people. These people are part of those packs that were forcefully taken from their family. They also took away the most important thing from them.

Their families.

It’s so crazy how it was just so easy for them to kill people’s families when they get to keep theirs and that is why I’m not going to stop until every last on of them drops dead.

“Yes V” They call me V because I didn’t want them to see me as a boss that could oppress them. I didn’t want to be like the people that took their families and captured them as slaves to do their dirty work and die in the hands of stupid vampires.

Let’s not even talk about those vampires, the thought of them makes me want to drive a stake through their hearts! If those fuckers haven’t began to attack us wolves, the Beta Pack wouldn’t have started to look for alliances by force.

“What is the next thing on our agenda?” I ask eagerly. He knew my eagerness was because I was already getting so mad about this. He knew I had started thinking again.

He sighs “You started thinking again, you forgot to draw out the plan. Again!” He deadpans. 

I send him a tight-lipped smile and move over to my table.

My place was a small shackled house inside the castle walls. The doors had began to fall apart but I liked it because no one suspected that it was ever in use and I mostly loved to stay in the woods where I built a small house with the help of these people I have gathered. I only come here to map out plans.

The palace walls are heavily gathered by the top wolves themselves, but they don’t know that their worst nightmare lived right under their nose.

We werewolves have being in existence for a very long time now. We are mostly in the woods and we build our abodes there. 

In this time of the century when all creatures are against each other. Every specie of creatures either want the highest power or just hate the fact that this creature exists.

When humans began to become werewolves a thousand years ago, it wasn’t something that made one power hungry like it later did, it was to cure illnesses, to ease people of their pains because they healed fast. 

But as they grew and people started to create Packs, everyone lived in harmony and the ceremony for choosing the Alpha was something held in high esteem and the finding of his Luna was what made all the girls make an effort to get all ball gowns that they could get.

But now, these power hungry monsters have turned against their very own and broken the sacred bond of the werewolves.

When Mom told me of these stories, I didn’t want to believe that there was ever a time when we all lived harmoniously. That there was a time when werewolves didn’t have to worry about vampires or other creatures because we were all happy with where we were.

But now, those days are forgotten, those days are like they never happened. 

Now they could wipe out a whole family and not think twice about it. They could do it without blinking an eye. 

“Vee, Vee, Vee!!” I hear someone yell my name from outside. It wasn’t weird that George would call my name like I was dying

“What is it George?” I groan.

He rushes in to relay whatever he had found out. George was our eyes and ears around here. He knew what had happened just a second ago and it’d relay it without missing a detail.

“The Luna choosing is in two days! The Alpha is said to meet his Luna by the next full moon which is in two days” He says in one breath.

“Vee this is our chance, we could use monkshood like some sort of bomb. I think the British vampire castles use them. We could get some and put them all to sleep in the ceremony. The whole pack would be there, we could kill them all then” He suggests. 

Dan was one to jump at every opportunity of killing them, even though they never worked, but he wasn’t one to back down when it came to ending these people.

His family was publicly slaughtered at a ceremony just to please the then Alpha. Frial’s Father was such a splinter in one’s finger. 

“I do like the sound of that” I muse. “Let’s do it”

I wake up to a banging noise at my door. I roll off my small bed and still land on my ass. I groan.

I walk towards the door and open it “What is it?” I growl.

“Woah easy there” I hear Dan’s voice. My sleepy eyes struggling to open up to the light. Damn that sun is bright.

“What do you want Dan” I walk inside and leave the door slightly open so he could come in.

Yes, Dan and I have a little something going on. It’s just to keep each other warm, but I don’t think it’s anything serious. But I sure wouldn’t mind.

He wraps his hands around my waist and kisses my neck. I move my head to the side to give him more space.

I hum as he sucks on it. “This what you came here to do this fine morning “ I giggle as I wrap my hand around his neck and place a kiss on his lips.

He hums slightly “No it isn’t, but I couldn’t resist “ He chuckles.

“So what brings you here?” I detached from him and sat on my bed.

“Are you ready for tonight?” He asks. You could hear the worry in his voice and you could see the worry lines on his face.

“Dan” I walk up to him and wrap my hands around his waist. It was my turn to do that now “I’m going to be fine, it’s not the first time dear” I assure him.

“I know but I can’t help but worry about you. I don’t want anything happening to you my sweet” He coos.

I smile “I’m not going anywhere yet my dear” I reassure.

“These could be the biggest night of our lives, if this works, all we have worked for all these years would all be over” He places his lips on my forehead.

“Yeah” I nuzzle into his chest.

“I can’t wait” 

“Me too” 

We stay in that position for a few minutes with so many unsaid words that we both knew we had to wait till all of these was over before we would do anything. 

There was no doubt Dan and I wanted to be together. I do harbour those feelings for him and I can’t wait for all of these to be over 

“How about we draw a plan” I suggest

“I thought you’d never ask love” This relationship between us is not known to the others. They can’t know we are mixing business with pleasure.

Dan may not be my mate, but I wouldn’t choose anyone else.

The Ceremony was about to start and we all had to dress in our best robes of clothing.

Of course it was to reference the Luna. She was more or like our queen and we had to respect that, but she was going to die soon. So she could enjoy this while it lasted. 

The Ceremony started and the full moon was at it’s strength and of course every wolf present could feel it and reacted.

The transformation is more painful under a full moon. There was groans, grunts and growls around me.

Immediately after all wolves present the wolf jumped towards his Luna in the crowd and bit her. He Marked her and it was time for us to strike.

This is my long life dream. I am about to end all of these people, I could take back what they took from me. This was not the time to show any empathy. It was finally time for me to get my revenge and I was not going to turn back now!

Handel was about to throw the bombs when I stopped him and saw something that blew my mind.

I thought I was dreaming. At this time, we had all being able to transform back into our human form. Apart from people who couldn’t control it yet and went haywire and had to run into the woods 

But that wasn’t what caught my attention. It was the Alpha’s Luna.

Dan saw the same thing as me. This could not be happening. 

I look up again, and try to clear my eyes. But my eyes would not deceive me. I am quite certain of what I saw. 

I quickly told them to fall back because whatever was happening, wasn’t what we planned at all. 

At this point, I don’t think I’m seeing well. 

I run into the shackle house as I try to catch my breath. 

“Vee what’s going on, why aren’t we going on with the plan?” George asks. His voice frantic.

“Yeah why did you run off like that?” Handel asks

Dan saw the same thing as me so he didn’t question me.

“D…Did you guys see the Luna?” I ask them still pretty dumbfounded.

“No, why?” Handel furrows his brows.

“She looked exactly like me”
