Episode 6

There was a strong wind. It blew over all the bodies. Everything was wiped away right in front of me. My pack got into extinction.

With extreme horror, I shrieked at the top of my voice, hot tears rolling down my cheeks. A great pain covered me. My whole body quivered and shook terribly.

"Who did this?!?" I howled even louder, and then someone tapped my head, and I awoke to discover I was in a dream and had been sleeping...

I exhaled heavily as my heart thudded very loudly and fast.

"Finally, you rise?" I heard a voice but couldn't even see the person. It was pitch black everywhere.

"I can't see you. Who are you?" I screamed, still in despair. The scene of that dream was tearing me apart...

How will I lose everyone?

"Wake up and open your eyes!" The tone sounded, and my eyes fluttered and opened finally.

The light of the day shone into my eyes, making me dazed. I felt dizzy and buried my face in my arms.

I raised my head and looked around. There I saw a strange woman sitting beside me on the bed.

"Where I'm… I?' I asked weakly under my breath...

"You are alive again. I thought you would die. I can't believe that sorcerer would be so cruel to use that high-grade substance used for dragons on you. You would have died if I hadn't come earlier". She sighed and hissed.

"She wants me dead..." I swallowed hard and sniffed.

"It has been a week since you went into a coma, the whole royal family and even other pack members. Everyone saw you dying, yet they never cared. When you fainted, they dragged you to the dungeon. Why the hate?" She asked, and I raised my gaze at her, wondering if she was new to my pack, if she wasn't aware of my birth, killing the Luna.

"What is your name? Who are you? " I demanded weakly...

"My name is Ariana, a witch doctor. Well, I'm not evil though. I came in to stop them from going further with the test because it would kill you instead. I requested permission to treat you when you were abandoned in the dungeon. Well, I'm surprised to see you awake already." She answered, smiling, while I gave her a weak smile before stepping out of the bed.

"So I'm in the dungeon?" I asked, feeling heartbroken at all she said to me...

No one seemed to care about my death or life...

"You are in an apartment arranged by the Alpha King outside the Royal Pack House..." she replied. My eyes widened in shock, surprise, and happiness...

"So I'm out of the Alpha King's residence? I'm out of that pack house?" I gasped, my eyes glinting.

"You can stand fit?" She stared at me, surprised...

"Yes, all the pains are gone, I'm healed already." I gloated and shifted into my wolf, which had white fur...

"Wait a minute... Elena, you have white furs!!!" Ariana shrieked, springing up.

I shifted back to my human self and smiled.

"What about it?" I inquired with a wide arm.

Don't you have powers, like, can't you do something unusual? Are you a hybrid? " She asked, and I was about to reply "no" when the door of the house sprang open widely...

We both turned, and I trembled in shock at seeing the Alpha's warrior barge in.

"Follow us now! Don't think you are free after faking your faint. The Luna ordered us to check if you are awake and bring you back immediately if you have opened your eyes. You can even stand"  One of them snorted with that hate in their eyes.

"No, I am still...." I couldn't even finish the flimsy lie before I was slapped.

"Don't mention a word, you demon!" Another gruffed

"But the substance never showed us she was a demon, so why announce her that?" Ariana asked.

"she killed the Luna at her birth and have two different colored eyes. What else should I call her? You live far from our pack, so you don't have an idea who she is. For your safety, we are taking her away. She would eat you up if she spent more time here" They all spat, dragging me immediately.

"Let me walk myself!" I groused, but instead, they bundled me up and pushed me into the cart.

I kept silent, feeling so morose. The single happiness I got now has been taken away. After many years, I just stepped out of the pack house where I had been bound. I thought it was an opportunity to walk around and feel what it was like to see how beautiful the whole pack is. How would I know I wouldn't get the chance to even step out of the house before the guards would come over to pick me up?

What a devil, Luna!

She knew just the exact time I woke up.

Shit!

There was a little window in the cart, so I stared out through it. My eyes roamed around the beautiful city, from the busy street to the clubhouse. There were also many streams and rivers. I could see my peers playing around.

Tears fell off, and I shut my eyes, regretting my life...

Just then, I felt a strong scent!

"My mate!!!!" Lena screamed, and I flinched, peering around with my eyes widened.

The cart stopped, and I kept searching through the window, trying hard to catch a glimpse of my beloved mate, but I couldn't see anyone.

My mate's flavor scent was getting clearer and filling my nostrils.

I can't believe I have a mate. I loitered around the two windows, but there was no one there. Was he a spirit or what?

I frowned in sadness.

Just then, I looked out again and my eyes fell on the most charming green eyes I had ever seen...

I swear, the man was the most handsome creature on earth. He was dressed in a beautiful robe, his hair was dark and flowing down his back. I can't fully describe him because there was no chance to see his face clearly.

He too noticed my scent and was looking around from a distance. He stood with both palms in his pocket.

He is just so charming, and I felt my heart rip off knowing I couldn't indeed go close to him...

I couldn't even look for over three seconds before the cart sped away...

Oh, God.

I whimpered, hit the rod windows, and waved my hands. I wanted him to see me, but he didn't. Hot tears fell from my eyes.
