Alessia p.o.v
I poured my self a big glass of water with a couple of ice cubes.
As I poured water into my cup, the ice cubes clinked softly.
I'm the youngest and the only girl among my two older brothers.
My dad leads an army, so we grew up with rules and toughness.
Sometimes, especially at night, I feel the pressure of living up to their expectations.
Despite my brothers being protective, I sometimes crave moments alone, just being me, not the general's daughter.
My eyes glanced over at the clock.
Wow, it was about two in the morning.
"It's still early, I need to go back to sleep." I said to my self as I rubbed my temples on my head.
I walked in the dinning room, past the back doors when something caught my eyes.
You got to be kidding me!
My eyes focused on a wolf standing next to the bench all the way back in my back yard...all of a sudden... The wolf changed to a human.
Oh my goodness!
How come?
A werewolf?
How did it get here?
Our walls are protected, there is no way a werewolf could have gone past through it without my dad's men knowing about it.
I stepped closer to the door, trying to see it better when it turned around.
It was a dark green eyes looking right at me.
"What the fuck!" I mumbled to my self.
It's him!
The mysterious man in my dreams.
I knew it was him.
Those eyes you could see them from a mile away.
I placed my hand on the door handle, tempted to go outside and confront him.
No Alessia, don't!
This might be a trap.
I bit my lip while my mind battled if I should or not.
"Ugh."
I let out a deep breathe as I closed the door, staring at him then I locked the door and the big wooden door that went after it.
I'm probably just so tired, that I'm imagining stuff, I thought to myself as I quickly turned off the kitchen light and the dinning room light then made my way back to my room.
As I made my way back to my room, my heart still pounding from the strange encounter, I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw my brother standing in the hallway.
"Hey, Alessia, what are you doing up so late?" he asked with concern evident in his tone.
I struggled to keep myself even though my mind was still reeling.
"Oh, uh, just getting some water," I managed to reply as my voice betrayed me.
He raised an eyebrow, probably sensing something was off with me.
"Are you okay Alessia? You don't sound like my junior sister...."
I faked a laugh.
"What do you mean Nicholas? I'm fine and stop acting like an overprotective big brother." I say to him as I tried to brush off his question.
"Hmmm.."
"Now, if you don't mind, can I go to my room now?"
"Sure." He answered.
But as I reached my room, I realized I had forgotten to grab the water I had poured earlier.
"Actually, I forgot something in the kitchen. You go ahead, I will go to bed after that." I said quickly, hoping to divert his attention.
I turned back towards the kitchen as my thoughts raced with the unsettling image of the wolf transforming into a human.
A human who I have never seen physically but do appear to me in my dreams.
Was it real?
Or just a trick of my tired mind?
I pushed the troubling thoughts aside and focused on the simple task of quenching my thirst.
I couldn't stop thinking about it so I moved the curtain of the window and peeped outside.
Just like I thought, he was still there, just standing next to the bench in the back.
I gasped as I quickly moved the curtain back when he turned around and saw me through the window.
"Fuck." I mumbled while pacing back and forth infront of the window.
I checked the door, making sure it was locked when I peeped in the small glass window on it.
No, no ,no
He was walking right up to the door.
I immediately dropped to the floor, sitting in front of the door.
It's locked.....I'm fine.
But I knew deep down inside I wasn't fine.
I am scared.
I mean who wouldn't be scared of a werewolf and could possibly kill you when he gets the chance.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard him trying to open the screen door.
My heart felt like it stopped and seconds felt so slow.
A couple minutes went by of silence.
He must have gone away.
But what if he is still standing there waiting for my dumb ass to look out the window?
"Ugh." I took a deep breathe before sprinting upstairs, to my room.
I quickly locked my bedroom door, just to be careful.
My mind was racing with thoughts of whether or not I should wake up my parents.
No.
They might go look outside and by then he might have gone, making me look crazy, even crazier then I already look.
I walked over to my window, slightly moving the curtain.
I scanned the yard.
Nothing.
Untill in the very back, where the trees are, I saw him.
Those dark green eyes.
So vibrant in the dark.
I watched as he looked at me than shifted to his wolf form and disappeared in the darkness.
What the actual fuck!
My legs slid down to the floor, below the window.
This is crazy.
It feels like I am going crazy.
I need to tell someone.
To be continued
Alessia p.o.v
"Alessia....
"Alessia!"
I immediately jerked my head up.
"Alessia?"
I looked over, hearing my brother pound on the door
"Ugh."
I must have fell asleep because I was still in the same spot underneath the window, from
last night.
"Alessia open up your door."
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
I let out a big yawn before walking over to the door and opening it.
"Wha.."
"Alessia gosh I have been knocking on your door for like two centuries now! why was your
door locked anyway?" Nicholas asked.
I looked at him, still half asleep.
"Nevermind. mom wanted me to let you know that dad is at a meeting, mom will be
leaving now to go to the supermarket and Lucas and I are going to the soldiers headquarters."
"Oh and Lancelot said he is on his way soon, he called earlier."
Lancelot is my childhood friend and best friend.
I rubbed my eyes as I tried to process everything Nicholas just told me.
"Okay when will you all be home?"
"Probably later. mom might be home before us."
"Okay I will be here."I said following him down stairs by the front door.
"we will lock the door on our way out."
"Okay!"I shouted as I made my way over to the restroom.
A knock at the door made me jump while I was finishing up getting ready for the day.
Knock knock*
"I'm coming!" I yelled as I quickly sprayed perfume on my self then quickly head downstairs.
"Hey Lancelot..."
I stopped talking when I realized no one was here.
"Lancelot this isn't funny. if this is some kind of a joke, please stop it."
The feeling of nervousness filled up my stomach as I stood there when no one answered
me.
"Mhm."
I shut the door and locked it then glanced over at the time.
1:17pm.
While I might as well make myself something to eat as I wait for Lancelot.
*Knock knock knock*
I jumped up from the couch when I heard someone knocking.
"Who is it?"
"It's your favorite. Your one and only best friend in the world!" Lancelot shouted from outside.
"It's about time you got here." I said unlocking the door and let him in.
Lancelot was in his usual flannel and jeans.
"I know, I was supposed to be here earlier but they blocked like half of the streets off and stuff due to sightings ." Lancelot said walking into the kitchen.
"What do you mean sightings?" I asked.
"You are never going to believe it, some people said they saw wolves" He said as he started laughing.
"Can you believe that? Werewolves! they can't get past our wall. There is no way they spotted wolves!" Lancelot said as he stood leaning against the counter, laughing uncontrollably.
What if they had seen the same guy I have been seeing?
I thought to my self.
"You got to admit that is fun.... wait, Alessia why aren't you laughing?"
My eyes focused back on dash as he looked at me worriedly.
"Oh, I'm not surprised that people will say such thing haha."I said with a fake laugh at the end.
"Well how about we go to the market, we haven't been there in a while."
"Yeah that sounds like fun."
Market?
yeah.
I needed something to get my mind off of thinking about you know who.
*Time Skip*
"Hey honey how was your day with Lancelot?" My mother asked as I walked in to the house.
"Oh, it was fun. we went to the market. Lancelot had to stop home real quick but he will be over
for dinner."
"oh good, I'm glad you had fun."
I watched as my mother set out the plates for the table.
"Only five plates?" I asked as I glanced over the table.
"Yes, your father called. He said he is not going to be home until late, lots of big stuff is happening at the capital." My mother said while setting up the table.
I grabbed the napkins and started to fold them.
"Oh do you know what's happening?"I asked while looking over at her.
"No I don't sweetie. He said it was private information."
"Oh."
*Later in the evening*
"I'm so tired." I muttered as I flopped into my bed as I waked into my room.
"Me too and I'm stuffed." Lancelot said while putting his hands on his belly.
"Remember that funny guy we saw at the market today?"
"Which one?" Lancelot asked with a smirk.
I sat up from my bed and sit on the edge of it.
"The one that had that stand and sold rocks, like not cool or shiny rocks like pebbles."
"Oh, I remember now."
Lancelot and I started laughing while looking at each other.
"Pebbles." Lancelot said then we both bursted out laughing again.
"I mean I did feel bad that he was selling pebbles but I al..."
"Aahhhhh"
My mother's scream pierced through the air, cutting off our conversation abruptly.
Without a second thought, I bolted from my room with Lancelot right behind me.
"Mom, what's happening?" I called out as my heart pound in my chest.
But as I descended the stairs, my breath caught in my throat at the sight that greeted me.
My heart literally stopped when I saw about six wolves standing in the dinning room.
My mother was stuck in their middle.
I saw that there was tears in my mothers blue icy eyes.
Before I could even say a word, both of my brothers entered the kitchen and was surrounded by two other wolves.
"Well look who we have here." A guy said while walking towards me.
"You must be Alessia?" He said as he stepped close to me but I immediately stepped back.
"How do you know my name?"I managed to asked while shaking.
I looked at the wolves and look back at the strange guy like they were crazy when he started laughing and the wolves growled.
"What the fuck do you want?" My brother Lucas shouted.
"I will tell you" the guy said and walked over to lucas.
"Me."I mumbled.
"What was that?" He turned around, looking at me.
"Nothing I didn't sa..."
"I heard what you said and you are correct." A creepy smirk came across his face.
"How did you even get past our wall?"
My mother asked.
"Oh that thing? you call that a wall? Funny. Very funny." He said as he let out a chuckle.
I looked over at my mom as she tried to get my attention.
"Run."She mouthed.
And with that I sprinted to the door.
I went to open it when my dress got caught by one of the wolves and I was dragged back.
"Let go of me, you beasts!"I screamed.
I struggled to get out of his hold but I couldn't.
I kicked....
Punched...
But nothing worked.
I looked across the table at Lancelot as he made us sit down.
"Now I'm only going to explain this once. So listen."
The tall brown hair guy said leaning on the end of the table.
"We were sent by our Alpha. You better cooperate or I won't hesitate to devour you all."
"Wha.." I wanted to say something but my arm was pulled up, making me stand.
"The four of you have three minutes to grab your belongings."
"Wait four!"
"Your mother is staying." He said.
"Then I'm not going." I said bravely.
"Looks like we got a dare devil that knows how to talk back."
He smirked before one of the wolves growled loudly showing his teeth and tongue and headed towards my mother direction.
Tears ran down my face.
"No! I will do anything. just don't hurt her!"I screamed as tears ran down my cheeks.
"Then go pack up your stuff, you are leaving." He said.
Before I could say another word, the man dragged me upstairs.
To be continued
Alessia p.o.v
"Lancelot I'm so confused on what is happening." I whispered as I got out a bag and started putting clothes in it.
"We need to contact someone." Lancelot said as he quickly looked backed at the door, making sure the guy standing outside it couldn't hear us.
I dragged through my drawers when my hand touched something cold.
"Oh my gosh." I whispered as I flipped open my emergency phone.
It's a emergency phone for a reason and this is definitely an emergency.
"Come on come on." I whispered as I holded my finger down on the power button.
Knowing it's probably dead.
"Oh my gosh is that a...."
"Shh." I looked over at Lancelot as he stepped closer to me.
I typed in my dad's phone number when I got the phone to work.
"Come on come on." I paced back and forth as the phone ringed.
"You two almost done packing yet?"
I threw my phone down in my bag when one of the guys walked in my room.
"Yeah we are ready." Lancelot said quickly.
I nodded while looking back at the guy.
Phew!
That was a close one.
I thought to myself as I quickly put on my jacket and grabbed my bag.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"These two are ready." The guy said pulling us into the dinning room.
I glanced around the room looking at every guy.
Seems the other wolves shifted too.
They were putting on my brothers clothes.
I will never wear it again if I were my brothers.
One looked so familiar like from the guy I saw in the woods, but he was shorter and nose was different.
My eyes quickly looked away when he realized I was looking at him.
"Alri...." The Brown hair guy stopped talking when he heard a phone go off.
"Shit." I mumbled as I realized it was my emergency phone.
I bite my lip nervously while looking down at the ground, I knew they were looking at me.
"Is that seriously a fucking phone?" The guy asked while the phone kept going off.
I kept my head down as he walked up to me
"Check her bag." He ordered then two guys grabbed my bag while one grabbed my arm pulling me away.
They opened up my bag, dumping everything on the floor.
There it was.
my phone!
....still ringing while the screen was flashing.
"Well." The guy said picking it up and smashing it against the wall.
"You won't be needing that anymore."
He said then signaling the guy to let go of me.
I quicky fell to the floor, picking up my belongings.
"Now We can do this the hard way or the easy way,"
"You choose." He said smirking
I looked over at Lancelot
You could tell he was worried, it was all over his face I mean who wouldn't be.
I looked back over at the guy,gosh he made me mad.
I looked around me trying to think of what I should do when I noticed that there was a pocket knife on the table next to me.
Do it Alessia!
Throw it at him!
My mind was going back and forth whether I should or not.
With out even thinking I quicky grabbed the knife and threw it over at the guy.
Before it even could stab him, he grabbed it in mid air.
I was supposed to run but i didn't.
He just caught a knife in mid air....
what the actual fuck!
He threw the knife down then looked over at me.
He was pissed.
"Grab them, we are leaving." He growled.
"Wait no, mom!" I screamed before being dragged away.
"Wait!"
Tears ran down my face as the last thing I saw was my mother crying while being pushed down by one of the guys before the door to my house shut right in my face.
I had no idea what was going on.
We been sitting in the same spot for God knows how long.
In the back of the van and my legs were starting to fall alseep.
They had hand cuffs on me from what happened earlier and it hurts, the cold metal was digging into my wrists.
I tried adjusting my hands to find a spot where they didn't work but the hand cuffs were just too tight.
"Ugh." I flopped my hands down on my lap.
I wanted to go home....to be with my family.
I don't even know what happened to mother.
I didnt even say goodbye to her!
Or if she is even alive.
I leaned my head back on the van wall, tears running down my face.
Silence.
That is all there was besides the engine of the van running.
Two guys sat in the front and one guy sat in the back with us.
It was more like a work van, you couldn't see the people in the front.
Plus there was no windows back here so it was dark, besides the lighting coming from the front but it wasn't much.
My eyes darted up when I heard someone moving around.
They landed on just one of the guys sitting back here with us.
His eyes landed on me, making eye contact with mine, making one of my eyebrows raise.
Geez, he looked so familiar.
Like his face structure but his eyes were more Brown than green.
I flinched my arms back when he was about to grab them.
"It's okay." He whispered as his eyes looked directly into mine.
For some reason he made me feel safe.
Snap the fuck out of it Alessia!
That's how they get you.
I thought to my self while we still stared at eachother.
I watched his every move as he grabbed a key out of his pocket and unlocked my handcuffs.
"Thank you." I softly mumbled as I rubbed my sore, bruised wrists.
He noded then sat back over to where he was earlier.
I stared at him, wondering why he helped me.
I mean he could have just kept them on.
I'm not complaining I'm just watching out for my self.
"Don't worry your mother is alive and she is okay." He whispered, shifting his body towards me.
Before I could say thank you he went to talk again.
"You don't have to keep stressing about it, she is okay."
"How did you know I was stressing about it?" I asked.
"Your facial expression."
I sat there, probably with the most confused look on my face.
"You look very worried" He repeated again.
"Well, yes I'm worried and.....scared!"
The guy nodded in understanding, but before he could say more, the van suddenly stopped, and we were jolted forward.
I whispered nervously,
"What's going on?"
The van stopped abruptly, and I felt really scared.
The door swung open, and cold air rushed in.
"Get out," a wolf ordered firmly.
I stumbled out, feeling scared and unsure.
There was a dark warehouse nearby, but it was too dark to see much.
Another wolf gave I, Lancelot and my brothers, small bottles.
"Drink this," he ordered.
I took one and drank it, feeling sick from the bitter taste.
Everyone else did too.
Suddenly, everything started spinning, and I felt myself getting sleepy.
To be continued...
