“Where is that girl? I found her out in the dark when it was still not dawn; she was battling with wild animals, unable to fight back. She would have lost her life if I hadn’t saved her. It is true that I considered her to be Lara and failed to realize that she is a human, but that doesn’t mean that she was in Lara’s disguise on purpose.” Mrs. Rolex questioned. “I have sent her to prison. You don’t know, Mrs. Rolex, how cunning the witch is. She has sent this girl to mislead us. She felt that we would think that girl to be Lara, and by the time we realized that she was a human, Lara would be dead. We are fortunate that one of our soldiers found her on the outskirts of the forests, or else we would have lost her forever.” Alpha Gabriel affirmed. “And your soldiers will torture her to such an extent that she will be dead? Do you have any proof that the girl is involved with the witch? How did you guess that? What is the basis of your suspicion, Gabriel? What if the girl is innocent and
Clara rushed towards the prison. The soldiers were deployed all over the prison, and it seemed difficult for her to reach the cell where Ella was imprisoned, as she was not even confirmed as to which cell she was in. She heard the soldiers speak as she reached: “We should go inside and have a look at the girl’s plight once again. We were supposed to stay in the cell to keep a watch over her. But we got lazy and slept for a while.” The first soldier said. “Hey! Just don’t worry! The rat might have already chewed her intestines by now, and she might be dead already. After all, she is a human, not a werewolf. She is too young compared to us. We might get to feed on her remaining meat today. Alpha will arrive at the prison by 9 a.m. It is just 6 a.m. and still dark. The bone-chilling cold is taking a toll on me. Let’s have some beer in the meantime." Another soldier suggested. “Do you think the girl was actually involved in poisoning our Luna? Does she know anything about the scorpion v
“Yes, you recognized me correctly. I am Clara, but I have not come to torture you. Could you just tell me your name? So it will be easier to communicate with you.” said Clara. “If you are going to take me to your wicked alpha, then I will not tell you my name, and I will not come with you either. You just go away from here. Leave me alone. Will you?” Ella pleaded, as she had lost trust in the werewolves. “Trust me! I have come here just to save you from the Alpha and his soldiers. Mrs. Rolex, the lady werewolf who saved you from the wild animals, yesterday morning, has sent me here. If I fail to save you, then I will be damned.” Clara tried to explain. “Mrs. Rolex? I know her. She is a very nice lady. She’s kind and good. She’s not like the Alpha and the soldiers over here. I am ready to come with you if you are taking me to her, and my name is Ella.” Ella finally agreed to co-operate. “Then you will have to do me one favor. In a haste to reach here, I forgot to carry the ropes wit
The soldiers were flabbergasted to see the prison cell vacant. There was no body inside. Only the rat kept moving all around. They looked all around but couldn’t find any traces that the girl might have escaped. For a few seconds, they felt that they had opened the lock of the wrong prison cell. But they quickly checked the number engraved on the door of the prison. “It is the fifty-first prison cell. We have opened the correct cell. But then, where is that girl? It is near to impossible that the girl might have survived the torture. The rat might have chewed her intestines already. Has some other werewolf entered and eaten the meat of that girl?” The first soldier finally spoke. “What reply will we give to Alpha Gabriel now? He will suspect that we ourselves have eaten away, her meat. We have to find out as to what has happened behind us in the prison.” Another soldier remarked. They closely inspected the prison cell to find out some clues. Everything inside seemed to be casual. Th
“You know very well that the punishment for helping a prisoner escape is very harsh. You will be banished from the Blood Moon Pack.” The Alpha roared. “I know that, Alpha. You may banish me if you want. But the girl is innocent. She has no connection with the witch, and she doesn’t know anything about the scorpion venom either.” Clara asserted. “So this witch has done some magic over you too, I guess. That is why you are trying to defend this girl. She has helped the witch administer aconite to my Luna and wants to take her place by trying to appear like her.” Alpha Gabriel screamed. “The witch has not done any magic, but instead you have become blind, Alpha. You arrested me without any proof and failed to give me a fair hearing. Besides, you have no common sense at all. If the witch had sent me, then she wouldn’t have let me get tortured by the soldiers. She would have helped me escape using her magic.” Ella said. “We used to play a game called ‘The King and the Thieves’ when we w
Alpha Gabriel took his center seat on a bench in the park, and all the other werewolves got seated around him. Ella stood in the middle, like a criminal. She was the accused, and she was supposed to prove herself innocent. That was the court of the werewolves, and the Alpha was sitting as a judge. This was the first time that Ella had seen Alpha Gabriel carefully. He had an aura of authority about him, and his dashing personality and sharp features were further adorned by his highly muscular body. As he looked at Ella, his golden eyes seemed to glow as the sunrise fell upon them. Ella felt a little attraction for him for the first time ever. “He seems to be so good-looking! Jade is nothing in comparison to Alpha Gabriel.” She thought as she touched her arms. The pain reminded her how cruel and inconsiderate the handsome man in front of her was. “Have I lost it? How can I feel attracted towards a person who has tried to kill me?” She was lost in thoughts when she heard Alpha Gabriel sho
Sophia, who pretended to be unaffected for a while, offered us all to join her on a trip to this island, which will be funded solely by her. She, too, was a billionaire’s daughter and was even richer than Jade. Her casual behavior for a long time had made me trust her, and I readily accepted her offer because even Jade insisted upon it. Everything was well and fine during the journey, and we enjoyed it a lot even after reaching the island. But again, there was a twist on the final day of the trip. The cruise was supposed to commence its return journey at 11 a.m. We had all packed our bags and were ready to leave. But then, suddenly, I found that my best friends, Ivy and Lisa, were missing. I kept looking for them all around, but I couldn’t trace them. I finally asked Sophia if she had seen them somewhere. She pointed towards the forest and said that they had gone there to take some final selfies with the wild life. I followed the direction pointed out by Sophia and reached the interi
Ella looked at herself in the mirror again. She had finally regained her original beauty. But then her clothes were still in a torn and tattered condition. She wanted to change it somehow. “Can I borrow a dress from anybody present over here? I would be obliged if somebody could lend me one," requested Ella. “You come with me to the mansion, Ella. Lara’s dress will be exactly your size, as both of you look so similar.” Mrs. Rolex suggested. "No, Mrs. Rolex. That will not be permitted. She is not yet acquitted of the offense. Until she proves herself completely and I formally declare her to be innocent, she will not be allowed to move away from my sight or allowed any privacy as per the rules because the trial is not yet over.” Alpha Gabriel interrupted. The chauffeur had already arrived with the SUV, and Alpha Gabriel ordered the guard to open the doors of the back seat. He sat there and asked Ella to sit beside him so that he could keep a watch on her and prevent her from escaping
