Chapter 2

“It's no news Ciranda's, death is something I wish and pray for all the time, soon the moon goddess will bless me and my request will be granted. I am nothing but I will be something in the afterlife.” he looked at me with anger in his eyes. His friends were not shocked at my altering. I am a princess treated worse than a pauper, what was there to hope for? 

I can't leave without them killing me, so praying for death is my next best alternative. I watched from outside as my brother failed every question asked by his teacher, he has always been the dumb sibling, always partying, smoking around with friends, and going shopping for luxurious cars or car racing. Studying has never been part of his schedule which has earned him the name “‘big baby” for he is still in lower grade and all his friends and mates are over in college. It was amusing seeing him prove to be nothing but their lapdog. I am more intelligent than him, I have taken lessons all my life from the windows and creeps of the classroom.

I woke up late into the night, the faint smell of smoke surrounded the castle. It was an odd hour for the maids to cook, and clashing sword sounds came from all around me. I climbed out of my bed, there was no time for me to figure out what to wear. Climbing out of the attic, everything thing was in chaos, soldiers fighting, secret wolves of the shadow clan surrounded my family, they were leading them away towards the secret passage. 

I tried reaching out to them but they just stared at him and shut the door to my face. I was left behind to fend for myself, to die, a misery death. I could feel my cheeks wet, how wicket was my parents. The fire gained more ground, and my lungs locked out of oxygen. My head heavy, I fall to the ground and with me feel thousands of soldiers. Blood filled the grounds. “Burn everything, it is time to eradicate the disgusting reign of the Coppers within the supernatural realm” the soldiers of the enemy clan chanted in victory.

 The room was too dark to see, I wish I could be freed, how can they leave me behind like I am nothing to them? Everything gradually became blurry, I could barely see beyond my nose. A figure swats down close to me, I am not sure if it is a vampire or a wolf, however, the end result will be the same death. 

I woke up from the chirping sounds of birds, the sunray sneaking through the curtains that hit my eyes making me shut them quickly as I opened them again everything about my surroundings felt off. I haven't slept in a bed as cachous as the one I am present in all my life. Everything was white and grey, it looked luxurious and wealthy, also I could tell by just a first glance the room belonged not to me. 

Everything gradually came back to me, the fire, the invasion of my land, my parents looking at me dead in the eye and closing the only way of safety and survival in my face. I was supposed to be dead, I woke up in a strange land, was I taken as a prisoner? Even if I was, why would I be treated as a queen? I felt the duvet over me, it felt so soothing and soft over my skin. The sheets were as white as snow.

“Youre awake, my little wolf”’ I jump to my feet realizing I am not alone. A man lay on the couch at the extreme end of the room shirtless with a coffee mug in his hand. his shirt off, his ocean-blue eyes staring back at me, with so much curiosity and wonder, his golden hair shining from the reflection of the sun, his muscles…   oh my god, I will give anything to feel those sixpacks. 

“‘If you should continue staring at me in that manner, I may as well take you hear and now”’ I just realized all I had on me was a T-shirt which I assume to be his, with no bra and undergarments.

 “‘What have you done? What did you do to me? That's all I have, it was all I had, I have protected it for 18 long years and all it took for you is just a day, how dare”’ he stood there staring at me with a wide smirk. “‘Come on, youre mine, your body, and everything belong to me’”’ A knock from the door interrupted us. Before he could usher the nuisance in, the door flung open as they invited themselves in. 

A little girl walked in, she was of the same age as me or maybe a year older. She had long lashes and dark brown hair, styled in two accompanied by a set of indigo eyes. She looked like a goddess in the making. Her attributes were childish, she walked up to the man from before and hugged him tight. 

‘’You promised you were going to invite me as soon as sister inlaw woke up, how unfair can you be Mckenny?”’ 

“‘Sister inlaw? Who was she referring to as sister-in-law? I dont even have a mate let alone a husband”’ I casually took a second look around the room to make sure there was another female beside me, but there was no one. She pouted her lips like a baby making her even more cute. So his name is Mckenny. 

That name sounded awfully familiar, I have not met somany people in this short-lived life of mine. I have always had a good memory. Oh no, he is Mckenny Goldon alpha of the mysterious Central Crown Park, how can life be this cruel, I thought I was saved only to end up in the castle of my family’s ash enemy, from the jaws of a lion straight down to its bowel.
