I was waiting for it, the sharp quick death Serena was going to give me. Or maybe she'll make it slow and make sure I suffer in pain as she watches my blood drain into the ground. 

Whatever my death may have been, it did not come in soon, I felt the absence of the knife against my throat. Slowly, I opened my eyes in case Serena was still there but there was no one there. 

She wasn't there and neither were the other men who were standing with her. What the hell? What was going on? Did she have second thoughts? 

Knowing full well that Serena wouldn't pass up an opportunity to get rid of me, I looked around properly to see if this was just another trick to see if I would actually run away and then catch me in another trap. 

That was when I saw it, the green glowing eyes approaching me. If that wasn't a wild animal, then it would definitely be a-

His growl was the next thing I heard and I froze. Those bastards, they had left me here to be food for whoever this was. I couldn't fight what was before me, even if Lia decided to stop being a coward and actually show her face, I doubted I could protect myself from this. 

He was huge, bigger than any wolf I had ever seen, including my father. His black fur shone under the moon's light as he circled me, taking very slow steps studying me. 

“P-please don't k-kill me. Please.” I didn’t know when the stuttered words left my mouth. 

I had never had to beg for my life before but I was sure I was doing a very lousy job. I froze and even stopped breathing when he moved closer to me and sniffed me. 

I let him do his things, whatever it was. 

Maybe if he knew I was a werewolf just like him, he would let me go. 

“I’m a wolf too. I'm the Alpha’s daughter.” 

He moved back a little. Did that actually work or did he think I was lying? 

Still looking into his eyes and trying to figure out his next line of action, for the first time ever, I wished Serena was here. At least, I wouldn't be the only one about to be ripped to pieces by this stranger. 

He tore open the net I was in and the ropes fell at my side. I guess it has worked then but I still didn't know who he was. 

He stared at me and for some reason, I stretched my hand out and aimed it towards his head. He bent his head down to reach my hand and I rubbed his head, extending my fingers to his large ears. 

When he took steps away from me, I thought he wanted to leave but he stopped a couple of steps away from me and shifted back into a human. 

I could see everything! 

His perfectly shaped body, his outlined abs, every muscle and every vein and then also him, down below. 

I turned my head away quickly, not wanting to make him uncomfortable with the way I was staring. That was the biggest I had ever seen not that I had seen my fair share. 

He must have noticed my plight because he shrugged. 

”I thought you said you were a wolf ? No wolf minds being naked. You should be usd to it by now.” 

No. I couldn't get used to it because I don't have a wolf yet. That's why I was going to say but I didn't mainly bevause this was a stranger and I didn't want to put my heart out to him. 

I fought with my eyes to stop them from going down back there as I gathered my things to leave. 

This guy was probably just a rogue, walking around. He was no one important. 

“Thank you for helping me chase those people away. I'll get going now.” 

I stood up only to be met with the sharp pain shooting through my leg from my ankle. 

“Ah!” My knees bucked and I lost my balance so I fell again, well I almost fell but the guy caught me in his arms and I could almost feel my head spinning. 

“You should be careful. Take a seat so I can look at it.” As his fingers brushed his fingers away from me, I felt goosebumps decorate my skin all over and I quickly snatched my leg away from him. Or attempted to. His grip was to kill for. 

“You should relax. I'll check on your leg.” He raised my jean leg up and inspected my leg. 

Who really was this guy? 

“Your leg is bruised badly. I think you dislocated the anke. Why were those wolves after you anyway? What’s going on?”

I openend my mouth but a thought crossed through my mind. I was about to leak my secrets to a total stranger who was probably working with Serena. Right now, I didn't trust anyone. 

“It’s none of your business.” I rolled down my pants leg and attempted to walk away, now conscious of my situation but it didn't help matters as the pain was still there, causing me to fall back onto the floor. 

Before I attempt to move again, I felt a hand across my waist and under my legs. 

”Let me help you.” He picked me up and secured me tightly in his arms. If it were another situation, I wouldn't have minded it but right now, I didn't even know who the man is. 

“Red Moon, huh?” My head snapped to him so quickly in shock ”What? I can smell it on you. Let's get you home. The woods are too dangerous for a little girl like you." 

Home? No! 

I was running from home and this person, whoever the hell he was, was taking me back. 

“No! No! Let me go! Hello?” My cries fell on deaf ears. He just kept walking back in the direction I had run away from just hours later. 

No matter how much I kicked and trashed, he just wouldn't let me go. 

“Let me go now!” 

He laughed. He seemed to be enjoying this. 

I heard footsteps but didn't think much of it because he was here and whoever he was, he was dangerous. 

He paused for a moment, took a deep breath and tightening his hold on me and cleared his throat. 

“You don't need to be scared of going back. Don't worry, they're coming to get you. Isn't that fun?” 

I could hear the smile in his words. How could he smile at a time like this?!

Oh no, I didn't like the feeling I was getting at the pit of my stomach. Something bad was going to happen and I could feel it.
