Crescent Moon Territory " Where were you? Did you again open your legs to that bastard like the sl*t that you are ?" " London please listen to me. I just went to take-" Smack! The woman's frail body stumbled back to fall with the impact. Tears streamed down her brown eyes. She held her throbbing cheek to get up when another kick landed on her stomach. And she crumbles into a ball. " Now you will lie to me huh? It seems you are forgetting your place. " " I just went to buy the medicine. I swear. I am not lying -" Smack. " Keep your trap shut. Now be a good little mate and come here." " No. Please." The man turned around to lock the door shut. But what he stood unaware of, was of the little child of barely 10 years hiding in the cupboard. The girl's brown locks were made into two neat ponytails, tears streamed down her eyes, but no words left her lips. Clapping her palms shut on her lips, she won't go against her mother's order. " Hide Ren. Don't make any sound and don't come out. No matter what okay?" " It will be over soon. Dad will just scold me and leave. " " Yes momma" The girl knew what scolding was. But this didn't look like it in any respect. The man was hurting his momma. For the next 10 minutes, the woman's cries echoed in the room. And then the girl sniffed it, blood. " Aghhh no London. Please! Trust me! The child is yours! " " Shut up! I am going to kill that bastard child and you!" " Agghhhhh! Noooo" Another scream and the little girl's grip on the wooden door of the cupboard tightens. Her innocent brown eyes were burning with hate, the only thing stopping her was her mother's promise. But she couldn't take it anymore. The smell of blood was too much. Pushing the door open. The girl steps out to freeze. What she saw made her innocent heart crack into a thousand pieces. There lay the woman with barely any clothes. Her stomach, where her little sister was said to be growing was stabbed with a knife and blood was oozing out of it like a stream. Yet the man showed no mercy. He continues to kick her. " Will you leave again without informing, bitch! Speak!" " Answer me dammit!" The woman lay motionless on the floor, her eyes were dropping. Tears continue to stream down her eyes as rugged breaths leave her lips. " Why don't you speak-" The man was going to kick her again when the little girl screamed to rush forward. Blocking her. " Leave my mother! Don't you dare touch her!" The man was shocked for a second. And the girl feels a tug on her skirt. Her mother gripped her hem, shaking her head in a no. " Don't..just run...Ren...go" " No" The firmness in the little girl's voice shocked both the adults in the room. " You little piece of shit! " Grabbing the girl's dress collar, the man lifts her in the air, but she doesn't lower her eyes. She matches his eyes. " No London. Leave her. She is just a child! I beg!" Her mother was holding the man's feet, begging him. But the little girls' eyes had no fear. Rather,collecting the saliva in her mouth, she spits it on his face and the man loses his shit. Throwing her in the air, he knocks her over. As the little girl hits the wall to crumble down. " No! Ren!" " I am going to kill both of you bitches today!" Grabbing the woman from her hair, the man wraps his hands around her neck. And starts choking her. " Die you whore!" Slowly the life was leaving the woman's eyes. Her thrashing seizes. She lies in mobile hanging on the wall. The little girl stumbles to reach them despite her bleeding forehead. Grabbing the man's shirt, she struggled to pull him back. But who was she kidding? He was much stronger. " I...love...you my Ren. More...than anything... " " No....No....let her gooooooo! Nooooo!" " Goodbye R....e...n" As the last strike of light was ready to leave her eyes, a strange burst of burning energy leaves the girl's palms. Within a second the man's grip slips and the woman's body drops down with a thud. " Aghhhh!" The man's scream echoes as burning flames engulf his body in seconds. He starts running around, screaming but the fire is unquenchable and wild. The little girl rushes to her mother's side and they both stare at the monster of a man, burning in flames. He clawed, and begged at their feet. Asking them to help. But none moved. Within seconds his entire body burned and turned to ashes. Ren was scared, but her mother held her little hands and stared at them. They were clean. Without a single burn. " What...what did I do momma?" "Ren. My daughter. You are the special one. I can't believe it. " Her mother starts kissing her palms. Crying hysterically. She looked happy. " What..what do you mean?" Suddenly her mother's eyes dropped, she didn't have much time left. Gripping the wound on her stomach, she grasps Ren's palms. To speak. " Listen...listen to me carefully Ren..." " Moon goddess has chosen you....you have a superpower. " " Protect yourself with it okay? I...will not be there to save you, my child. " " But mom-" " Shhh. Be strong. Confident. Independent. Never be...afraid. This world may burn...you. But promise me that..." " Y..you will always rise back...as a Phoenix." " Promise m...e" The little girl didn't understand much but she still agreed. Cleaning the woman's tears with her small palms, she nods. " I promise..." And then the woman's eyes go still and the little girl screams. " Noooooooo!" Before she knows, the entire room sets in flames and a blinding white light enters her vision. . . . " N...o" The nightmare ends and Eirene's panicked eyes snap open. Her breathing was rugged and her body sweaty as she blankly stared at the dark cloth covering her head. Her cheek was pressed on the cold floor and she was lying on her side. At least I am not suspended. She thought, thanking whosoever did this last little act of mercy on her. She gulps to only have her throat feel like sandpaper. Blinking her heavy eyes, a feeble attempt was made to move, but it ended with the clanking of metal chains echoing in the room. Chains were still tied around her ankles, neck and wrists. And she wanted to laugh at the council's fear. They still thought she could escape from here? If only. Her body has long lost this struggle. It was her mind that was keeping her alive every second now. She could already feel the darkness sweeping back in front of her eyes, along with the dark nightmares which were nothing but the flashes of the hell she had lived through her life. Wetting her dried parched and cracked lips with her tongue. She breathes heavily to clench and unclench her tied hands. To no avail. She tried again. Focussing all that's left in her. But nothing. They stay frozen, with no spark of light. " I...am sorry ma...I..." "I won't be able to fulfill my promise...any..more..." " You..r Phoenix is....coming to y...ou." As the last coarse word leaves her lip, her heavy eyes drop back to darkness, and a last teardrop slides down her eyes.Related chapters

Present. The Royal Office. 10:45 pm * Knock* " Enter" A drained gruff voice speaks from inside and the speaker enters. Bowing. " The black warrant for tomorrow's hanging. It needs to be signed by you, Your Highness. " " Put it down. Dismiss. " Placing the Manila folder on Zachary's desk. The guard bows and leaves. The door closes and Zachary's eyes stay fixated on the document. Clenching his fists. He extends his hand to pick it up. Taking a deep breath, he flips it open. And the small passport-size photo in the right corner made a knot twist in his stomach. Those brown eyes which were once his world stared back at him in coldness and those wild tendrils he loved to take hold of when he entered her, were wildly cupping her oval face.

Every morning brings in new hope and dreams. It's a testament to the fact that no matter how dark the night is, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. But not today. Not for her. The day progressed and before anyone knew it, it was already dark. The rattling of chains echoes around her, as her body is pulled forward through the Martin chain attached to her waist. Her naked feet stagger, struggling to move forward when suddenly they get caught on something and she finds herself falling forward. With hands tied and a heavy round neck chain pulling her down. She couldn't even break her fall and a shattering pain hit her jaw. She could taste blood in her lips and a crease appeared on her forehead. " Get up bastard. We don't have the entire day for this. " She tried. But she couldn't. When she didn't move the man holding her chains, sighed in exasperation. " I guess you still want what they call the last-minute motivation. " Before she knows it, a s

The crowd goes crazy instantly. Few even take out their shoes and start throwing them at him. " Kill him!" " Murderer!" " Burn him alive!" " Show his face!" No matter what the people say, Phoenix's black hood-covered face doesn't lower. He walks straight and tall. The guards continue to drag him forward. His body crosses the council and a strange knot twists in Zach's stomach. Emerald's hand rests on his shoulder for support, but at that moment it means nothing. All he could feel was that strange feeling of dread inside. Like he was going to do the biggest sin in his life, which will neutralize all good he ever did. No. She deserves this. There is no turning back. He can't possibly sympathize with a murderer now. Fighting his resolute he looked down to find a trail of blood following her.

A figure impatiently waits in the grey-walled room, her eyes trail around in anxiousness. Her fingers tap on her assistive cane handle. When the door is pushed open. " Dr Raven. Welcome. " . . " Sir Wilson. Hello. " A man steps in wearing the Royal Guards uniform, 5 stars marred his dress's shoulder showing he was a high-ranking officer. Settling on the seat in in front of her, he sighs folding his hands on the table. Looking into the doctor's eyes. " Any update?" The woman in her late 30s just sighs to push forward some papers, her eyes refuse to break eye contact with the officer. A strange determination shined in her eyes. " With the lack of any medical facilities here, her and the child's condition is set to deteriorate. This is a letter of appeal to the Royal court to shift the prisoners to the Eastern Prison." " These medical reports will be a proof of it. " The officer stares at the woman for a few seconds and then a smirk makes way on his lips.

Raven walks down the corridor of the dungeon with screams and cries echoing around. Cells lined on her either side. Her grip on her medical suitcase tightens as she stares at the huge metal gates in front. The special chamber. That's what they call it. The most dangerous torture room in the world. Equipped with temperature control, gas chambers, and the world's most deadly and brutal torture devices ever known. Gulping, Raven looks up at the two guards blocking her exit. Without a word, she just passes them her pass and they nod to push open the door. She enters and the door closes behind. It was too dark and cold inside and Raven felt a shiver travel down her spine. Hugging herself, she was on high alert. With prisoners like her, no one is safe. Even though she was no threat, Phoenix didn't know this. Switching on the bulb hanging in the center, Raven tries to locate her when she finds a figure curled up in the corner. And her stiff shoulders slump.

Starting into those brown deadly orbs seeping with coldness, showing no signs of recognition. Raven opened her lips to speak, knowing these may be her last words if not chosen correctly. "No fire can ever burn you, let alone touch you if the one burning inside you is brighter than the one around you. " As soon as those words left Raven's lips, those dead eyes shone with a flick of an emotion. Phoenix's grip on the syringe loosens as she furrows her brows to seethe. " Who are y...ou?" " Someone you may not remember, but you are someone I can't forget. " "24th August, Filian Street, a house was set on fire. You saved my child." " Risa" Those brown orbs search for something in Raven's determined ones and then click. Phoenix throws aside the syringe to move back, leaning on the wall she closes her eyes as if nothing happened. " What do y..ou want?" " I am your doctor, my Quee-..I mean Phoenix. I am here to help you get better." Struggling to get up with her

6 months ago. Runderwood no man's land. 7:45 am Eirene's POV The two things I love more than anything in this world are sleep and food. And I don't compromise on them for anything. None. Nothing. "Please... please...leave me I beg! Please..." A woman's shrills of pleas continue to drill into my eardrums like pointed knives and I groan. Turning to another side, I fold my plans and press them under my ears. A feeble attempt to block the noise. "The princess is beautiful. What if we have our share of fun with her boys?" " Grab her." " Agghhh nooo! Please....take anything....but leave me...helpppppp!" The ripping of clothes follows her yells and my fists clench. Sleep has become really underrated these days. I travelled a thousand miles to find silence in this no man's land of wildness, to only hear this? " I...I have money...please take it..but let me go...I won't tell anyone...please." I am not ashamed to admit but this piqued my interest. Did sh

Her beautiful eyes scan me from top and bottom and I raise my brow. " I didn't say otherwise. Now did I?" Her cheeks taint red in embarrassment. Her eyes light up like a firecracker and she takes my hoodie hanging from my fingers rather too enthusiastically. " I don't know how to thank you. " " Then don't. I wasn't here to save you anyway" My cold voice killed her enthusiasm. But only for a second. She rebounded. With more energy than the damn sun. " But you did! And it was so cool! The way you aimed that knife, I won't lie. For a second I thought I was going to die. The knife was just inches away from my face." "And oh boy I can never forget that look on their faces. It was like they saw a ghost. But what I didn't understand is why they were so scared of you?" " Do you know them?" I wanted to roll my eyes at her question. Everyone knows me, but not as a hero. I bet if she knew who I was, she would be running to the hills rather than chatting around with me like we

Zachary's POV Flashback " Your Highness, the wound on your arm is deep. Why don't you stitch it up first?" I dismiss Ron to remove my armour. We just returned from a war in the neighbouring pack, those rogues managed to tear my arm and I could feel blood dripping down my forearm. But I didn't have time to tend to it. This can wait. I need to see my dewdrop first. Its been 3 fuc*ing days since I have seen her beautiful eyes and heard her voice. This is the longest I have stayed away from her in the last 4 freaking months. " I am alright. Where is your Luna?" " She must be in her room. But first-" " I am fine, Beta." Dismissing his comment, I walk up the long staircase. Excitement bubbles inside me at the thought of seeing her. All the fatigue and pains will be gone once I have her in my embrace. I wonder what she will be doing? Waiting for me? I chuckle. Of course not. My dewdrop can't sit idle. She must be helping someone or rather playing with the maids kids

It stirred something dead to life inside Zach. He wasn't afraid to die. All his fear vanishes in thin air. He was finally going to meet his dewdrop. Even if it meant after death. “ She… she saved me from those looters. She was a thief herself.. So I got this idea. I gave her an opportunity to visit the ball pretending to be me.” “ I gave her my scent bottle. My name. My clothes.” “ She could loot there all that she wanted for a day.” “ And that's where you both met.” Things were making sense now. Why Zach thought Eirene was his mate when she wasn't. Why she smelt like her. “ I returned to Caleb. We were happy but… we lacked the basics. We had no pace to stay, no food. Nothing.” “ And then I we got the news of your marriage.” “ You married Eirene thinking her to be me. Your mate.” Caleb smirks to speak next. His head stays dipped in Emerald ‘s neck. “ And then we made a plan. Em here was to return and you would know that your dearest Eirene had been nothing bu
To Betray The Alpha King In Ruins
The most beautiful and prosperous kingdom of all, the Royal lands was on the verge of getting turned into ruins. Fires had been lit, soldiers have intruded and treasures were ready to be looted.With eight enemy packs striking together, bordering the kingdom from all direction. Escaping was no longer an option. And maybe that's why the ruler has materialised walls of trees and depths of trenches to surround it. To protect his people till he could. Yet, the question remained. How long will the King protect them when he himself was surving on counted breaths. How long can one man fight against millions? And especially now, when his soul had been shattered by the betrayal of that one person he loved more than anyone? “ Em?” Her name left Zachary’s trembling bloody lips but no emotion becomes evident on her face. Lowering the barrel, she steps over his body to walk towards Caleb’s coughing frame. “ Baby? Are you alright?” She cups Celeb’s face and helps him get up. “ I

Zachary’s POV ‘I threw her to my men to be broken and tamed. They took their turns.’ ‘A toy first needs to be broken to be made according to your choice and taste.’ Each word the bastard spoke plunged a knife into my heart and the words Eirene told me suddenly started making sense. ‘I slept with another man. I am not a virgin.’ ‘I don't deserve you.’ ‘What if you get bored of me someday?’ It has all happened with her before. Her fears were not baseless.That bastard, her very mate pretended to love her and when he got bored of her? He tossed her to his men to be abused? Why didn't I realise it? Fuck! The way she flinched when I first touched her. That constant fear and lost look in her eyes. How her hands always trembled when they touched me. How she was always weary and on high alert. How it took months for her to finally relax and feel comfortable in my arms. Ex mate. Caleb. Rape? “ Villains and heroes are not born, Zachary. They are made. Never judge a pe

Aiden was waiting for that moment when a searing pain tears him and he takes his last breath. When his tender neck gets ripped under the beasts canines and his blood gets spilled along with thousands of others. He waited. Seconds pass. No sound was audible. And Aiden opens his palms to suddenly feel an aura of fear and vulnerability hit him in full intensity. It wasn't his aura. Saph's aura was out of question. Then.. It could only belong to... He snaps open his eyes and what he saw made his fearful eyes widen in shock. The shadow, the beast was still hovering over him. But he couldn't move. Not even an inch. Unknown tree branches have uprooted from under the ground and were tightly wrapped around Caleb's frame like a snake swathing around its prey. One thick branch was coiled around his neck, another around his hind legs and one around his chest. The branches were moving... coiling tighter with every passing second and Aiden could see saliva dripping from the Caleb'

Their footsteps were coming closer while our breathing was turning heavy. Closer… closer. “ Aghhhh!” Saph stumbles on a branch to fall and that was all it took. We stop and within seconds we were surrounded. The wolves surround us from all the directions and one of them shifts to look at me. “ Well, well, well. If it isn't the future Prince of this Kingdoms.” “ Did we got lucky boys? Boss would be so delighted.” His eyes cloud. He was sending a mindlink and my fists clench. Standing in front of Saph, shielding her from their disgusting gaze I seethe at the man. “ You are nothing more than cowards. If you think you can defeat your Highness like this? You are mistaken!” The men only look at each other to chuckle. Their huge frames tower over my 4’2 one. “ We don't think pup, we know. Your dear your Highness is going down today. Its just a matter of time.” “ Its impossible! He is an elemental! You all are of no match to him!” Saph speaks from behind me and I see det

Aiden's Pov Adults don't understand and see a lot of things that we as children do. The longer a person stays on this planet, the more he or she gets tainted by this worlds dark colours of greed, selfishness and mercilessness. We as children stay immune to this and maybe that's why all I could see right now was that my new family needed me, while all Rowan and Raven cared about was this kingdoms heirs safety, my life. They couldn't understand that I can't live like this. The kings title, the power, the responsibility. I needed none. I just needed my new family safe. I just needed the people who took care of me and loved me in this unknown place when everyone turned their back on me, breathing and taken care of!

Three pairs of thudding footsteps run through the deserted forest as screams and cries echo behind. Their breathes were laboured but none could afford to catch their breath, even for a second. " Aunt Raven. We need to stop. I am not going to flee like this." " Father, Saph and grandma need me! They are there all alone!" One pair stops to be only dragged ahead by Raven's grip on his petite wrist. He thrashes, begrudgingly moving ahead. " Don't be stupid Aiden! This is a war! They are going to kill you mercilessly if they reach us!" " We need to reach safety! Your mom is waiting for you!" Raven's blunt authoritative voice did nothing to alter the kids resolute. Determination shone in the kids eyes as he tugs to withraw Raven's grip from his wrist. Everyone stops to stare at the resilient boy.

Zachary stood on the barrister, his emotionless eyes look down at the enemies army approaching his castle from all sides. Small forest fires lit the forest and he could hear distant screams. Clenching the barister tightly, he whispers in a low voice. " How many, Ron?" " In hundred thousands, Your Highness! We were attacked together from all borders! My estimate is that there are way more than 5 packs. And if I am not wrong it…it…” Zachary sighs to complete it for Ron. “ It's a coup.” Deadly silence followed. No one said anything and Zach breaks into a series of coughs. Unable to keep them in. Catching his breath, he gave his next order. “ Escort the elder and woman out. Take Aiden-” “ We are taking him along.” Zachary’s eyes shift to Rowan and Raven standing on the threshold. He could see the determination in Rowan’s eyes and this time he had nothing to argue about. In times such as this, the kid will be more safe with his family. Nodding Zach sighs to lean a
