Ella looked at her smart phone, which was already discharged. She had thought of charging it once she boarded the cruise. But then, unfortunately, she missed it. Or to be more appropriate, she had been forced to miss it. Her own friends had betrayed her She pulled at her hair in anguish. She screamed and yelled aloud, but then there was not a soul to listen to her. She was all alone with the wildlife. “Why the hell did I trust Sophia? Was Jade also a part of the conspiracy against me? And what about Lisa and Ivy? It was least expected of them to be backstabbers. Although they did it under threat, did a friend’s life not matter to them at all? How could they be concerned only about their future? Isn’t it a sin to let somebody die?” All these questions swelled up in her overstressed brain. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she held the two different notes: one left by Sophia, who was the mastermind behind the conspiracy, and the other by her best friend Lisa’s. She read the notes a
She kept running with her face turned back, looking at the cobra, when suddenly she banged into something soft and furry. Outraged by the disturbance during its sleep, the majestic lion let out a ferocious growl, loud enough to threaten the entire forest. It was all ready to attack her. Petrified by the growl, Ella paced back, but then the cobra was just closely following her. On the left was a precipice, and towards the right she could see a beautiful waterfall. She felt helpless. Finally, she had found some water worth drinking. She wanted to join her hands and say, “Oh! The ferocious, majestic lion and the mighty cobra! Please let me drink some water before you consume me." But then she knew that they wouldn’t understand a word. She could have easily fought back if the attackers were humans, as she was well versed in martial arts, and she had also received some training at the army school in her childhood. But she was at a loss to understand how to handle these animals. Ella was b
“Alright then! Get ready within half an hour and reach the training ground nearby, where the troops are being trained for the war. I will be waiting there too.” Alpha Gabriel was happy about her decision and marched towards the ground. “She thinks I should be her daughter! But I don’t even know the way to my room. How would I get ready?” Ella wondered. She called the maid who was cleaning the table towards her and said, “Can you just take me to my room? I have injured my feet." “How will you command the army with your feet injured, Lara? I will accompany you to the room and heal you there. But why is your healing power not working, my child?" Mrs. Rolex asked, worried about her daughter. “I have almost healed, mom. Just a little bit of pain is still left. That is, it, mom. You don’t worry. You know how strong your daughter is, right?” Ella said she was trying to sound as genuine as possible, although she was worried if Lara spoke in the same manner or not. “Mom? But you alway
"I know nothing about the scorpion venom, Alpha Gabriel! Trust me!” Ella stammered out of fear as she spoke. “Don’t just try to cook up excuses, you girl! I know that the witch has already given you enough training to abstain from speaking the truth in case you are caught. I think that I have already tolerated you enough, and I will have to use assault against you to extract the truth from you." “Soldiers! Just take this girl away from my sight. Imprison her and use all forms of torture that are possible, but make sure that you extract her whereabouts and, more specifically, about the scorpion venom, or else be ready to be beheaded yourselves." “But Alpha! She is a human, and the torture we use is difficult, even for the werewolves to endure. How will she sustain it? She will definitely die.” interrupted Beta Leon. “How dare you question my command, Beta Leon? Don’t you think you are trying to exceed your authority? It seems like I will have to order the soldiers to imprison you al
She rose, gained her composure, and tried to attack Amelia again. Her target was Amelia’s ears. She knew that her ears were her weak point. If bitten, she would lose her power and be defeated. But Amelia was too vigilant and tricky, and she would never allow her to touch her ears. Amelia bit her arms as she tried to attack her ears. Clara reacted again by biting her huge thighs. A smirk was implanted on Amelia’s muzzle, as she hardly felt much pain due to having a bulky body. In a jiffy, she raised her thighs, and Clara was at once yanked backwards and thrown into a thick tree, cracking her ribs. She fell to the ground with a thud, breathing heavily. Amelia stood rejoicing as she could see that Clara was hurt deeply and might not rise again. With a swift motion, Clara rose and succeeded in biting Amelia’s ears. The excruciating pain that swept across her nerves made her release a long howl that slightly rose and fell in pitch. The audience just kept waiting for Amelia to rise, but she

The clock hanging in the prison showed that it was 3 a.m. The soldier came closer and warned again. “We are giving you half an hour for contemplation. If you fail to disclose the truth even after that, then be ready for the next round of torture. We would just love to hear your screams once again.” The soldiers locked her up and left. She was all alone. She eagerly started looking for ways to escape, but unfortunately, she could find none. Moreover, her hands were already chained, and she couldn’t even touch the burned places on her arms. She was pampered by her father throughout her life. Her father passed away recently during a battle on the border. She remembered how worried her father had become once she burned her fingers while trying to cook dinner for the first time in her life. It was just a minor burn, and it hardly hurt. But he immediately took her to the clinic and got her dressed. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she missed her father and wanted him back in her life. She h
After successfully defeating Alpha Amelia, Clara, who was also Lara’s best friend, reached the mansion of Mrs. Rolex early in the morning so that she could inform her about Lara’s condition. “One of our soldiers found Lara in an unconscious state on the outskirts of the forest. She has been administered aconite by the witch. Our Alpha is extremely disturbed and is in a towering rage. He is simply not listening to anyone and is acting arbitrarily.” said Clara to Mrs. Rolex. “Why didn’t you inform me about this earlier, Clara? When did this happen? But she had gone with Alpha Gabriel to command the army troupe moving towards the east and to fight Alpha Amelia, right? How did the witch poison her then?” asked Mrs. Rolex, surprised. “We found her in that state yesterday evening itself, and I thought that the Alpha might have already informed you, but he is still sitting with Lara on the battle field. He spent the whole night sobbing. The girl who commanded the army troupe was not Lara,
