"Why are you still sleeping by this time of the day," my guardian she-wolf, Victoria yelled at me. I turned around slowly at the sound of her yells and lets out a despairing sigh. I was so tired that I could not move a limb. I stared dizzily at the broken wall clock in the room and noticed that it was just four am.
I had a scholarship exam the previous day and I couldn't help but come back home late. As a punishment, I was made to do all the house chores up to the late hours of two am. I knew I was going to be getting into bigger trouble if I didn't get up the mat I laid, but my legs just would not move an inch.
Then, Victoria angrily came up to me and kicked me hard on my stomach.
"Kick," a hard hit landed on my face.
I groaned in pain and didn't realize the moment a flow of tears started escaping from my eye.
Victoria wasn't my real mum, she only adopted me when I had nowhere to go. At the time when my pack was still how it used to be, she was just a common a slave at the neighbourhood pack that was always at war with my pack.
I was once the princess of the blue moon pack until everything I could lay hold of was taken away from me.
I could still remember that dark creepy night when the pack was unknowingly attacked by a gang of werewolf Hunter.
That night, while my father went out with the rest of the pack warriors to protect the pack, I remained indoors with my mom and my brother. My chestnut brown hair stood straight on my head and my light brown eyes moved erratically, controlled by fear.
I looked into my mum's eyes and I could see fear written all over it. My mum was a strong Luna and I have never seen her in such a frightening state all my life.
I could hear the sound of gunshots outside the palace court and the clinging sound of swords that made me to shiver hard with fear.
I knew the pack could never win this war over these evil men as their weapons were more sophisticated than ours.
Then, my mum advanced towards me and my brother as we sat on the bed. "I have to get going now to help injured men outside," My mum said.
"Mum, promise me that you will be okay and back with dad as....." I tried to say but my brother shut me up almost immediately. He knew better than me because he was older than me.
"Don't ask such questions," he glared at me.
I could no longer restrain the tears in my eyes and I had to pour it out.
"Don't treat your sister that way," my mom rebuked. "You must learn to always be there for her," she said to my brother while he nodded in acknowledgment.
"As for you my princess, I promise to return as long as it lies in my ability," she said but her facial expressions betrayed her words.
"l watched as my mother walked out of my life, never to be seen again. My brother and I waited for my mum and my dad to return but non of them came for us. My stomach rumbled after waiting for them for long hours and refusing to blink an eye.
When we had waited for a very long time, my brother turned over to me. "I will have to leave now," he said. "Make sure you don't move an inch from this place and whatever you do, don't dare to come outside. For now, I want you to wait for me under the bed, okay?" He inquires.
At this, I was too weak to say even a word and I only nodded my little head in acknowledgment. Slowly, he also began to leave me alone in the room. And I didn't want him to, I was scared to death. As he got to the bed, he turned over to me. I could no longer control the heavy beating of my little heart.
"What are you still doing there, I said you should get under the bed," he yelled at me.
I could no longer restrain my tears, allowing them to flow down from my flawless skin. My brother was moved by sympathy and he came to me. For the last time, I stared into his bossy but sweet eyes and wished all this never started in the first place.
"I will have to go now," he said. "Please stay safe."
"Please don't leave me alone," I pleaded.
"I am afraid I would have to."
So, he also left me while I went under the bed to hide. A few minutes later, my sensitive ears began to catch my mother's, father and brother's voices outside. I thought everything had ended and I ran out of bed to give them a warm embrace. But at the door, I heard an odd sound.
It was mum and she was crying. I could also pick up my brother's voice crying in the crowd. "They aren't safe," I said to myself.
"Check if there is anyone inside there," I heard a thick voice saying. I could sense immediately that he was the leader of this hunter team.
Immediately I heard this, my heart began to quake harder, hitting the outline of my chest so hard that I felt like fainting. I had to look for somewhere to hide before it was too late. But where exactly was I going to hide that wouldn't be searched? Then I remembered the small hole in the wall. Grandpa had told them that he used to hide there when he was very young. It was for emergencies just like this, but only one person could fit in.
I quickly got into the wall and closed it back with the molded seal that made it seem that it was just a natural wall with a little extra design. Light is filtered through a hole in the seal.
Through the hole, I could see everything happening outside. My heart quaked as I saw my mother and my brother dragged into the place. The leader of the gang, a cruelly handsome man in his mid-thirties, held my mother by the jaw and spat on her face.
"Tell me where she is," he glared at her.
My heart skipped a lot of beats after I heard this. This meant they already knew that I was alive and they wanted me. I also began to wonder where dad was. I just wished something bad had not happened to him.
"You've taken my husband away from me already, what else do you want," my mum sobbed.
"I want everything related to this pack to be whipped out," the wicked man fired.
Hearing that my father had been killed, I began to shed silent tears. I could still remember the cruel face of the name and the whispers of his bloody name rang in my ears. I stared at the cruel man and wished my wolf would just come on me and would tear him apart with its sharp claws.
Right now, the greatest thing that would happen to him was to find me and end my life. Cause if by any means I am allowed to live and grow up with this hatred, I would come back after him with all the strength I have got in me.
"Search the place," the gang leader ordered.
The four-man that stood beside him began to search the room intensively, making the pace of my heartbeat go faster by the minute.
I saw one of the men advancing towards me until the light in the hole was blanked out. Cold shivers ran down my spine and I couldn't help but shudder absently.
I instantly gave up hope of surviving after I waited for some minutes and then the light didn't go away. I shut my eyes at that instant ready for the worst. Then the light began to filter into the place again.
"We found nothing useful here," the guards returned.
"Then I would have to finish up my mission here."
The man drew out a gun from his waist and aimed it at my mother's head. I shut my eyes and I heard a gunshot. I was still too scared to see my mother's dead body so I kept my eyes shut.
"Let's go boys," I heard Mr. Rufus saying. A few minutes later, I heard the start of a car engine and a car buzzing away.
"They are gone," I thought
I came out of my hiding place with my eyes overrun with tears. I fell beside my mother's corpse and sobbed.
"No mom," you can't be dead, you can't leave me all alone in this cruel world," I sobbed, dragging her shirt to see if she would respond to my appeals but she didn't move an inch. She was dead.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, I stood up from my squatting position and walked out of the room, into the once lively palace environment.
Outside, there was not a single atom of life. I could see my brother's body laying lifeless on the floor. I didn't even bother to get close to him, I wasn't courageous enough.
I could already feel my feet shaking uncontrollably and my vision was beginning to dwindle. Everything had been destroyed and the once beautiful pack had lost its glory. At this point, streams of fresh tears began to run down my eyes. I could no longer stand the ugly sight anymore and I passed out.
ELSA POV
I continued to roll on the dusty floor from the hard kick that Victoria gave me on my stomach. She had informed me that she would be expecting her male friends so, I would have to put the guest room in perfect order. She was like a whore who satisfied the sexual urge of male wolves stranded in the human city in exchange for money. And as a beautiful wolf with the blood of an Alpha running in me, she wanted me to satisfy the urge of her male customers. But I had also reminded her that it would be over my dead body. My virginity was solely reserved for my mate.
Victoria had informed me that there was no essence keeping my virginity since there were no werewolves around and I would never get my mate. But that didn't bother me, I wasn't going to flirt with men my dad's age just for money. And I had faith that one day, my mate me come and rescue me from the cruel hands of Victoria.
"What are you still doing there," she glared down at me. "Do you want more breakfast?"
I rose from the floor with the dizziness fully washed away from my face.
"Get your freaking ass to the guest room and get it properly washed," she ordered.
"Okay ma," I replied with great disgust.
I wished my parents were still right beside me, I would have never been suffering this way. As I advanced towards the guest room, I remembered that today was my birthday and I was already eighteen. I had almost forgotten the day I had always waited for. I would finally be able to sense my mate who would in turn rescue me from this nightmare I lived with as a guardian.
I got into the guest room to survey how dirty it was so, that I would be able to use my time properly and would not get late for the second round of the scholarship examination.
But immediately I got into the room, the handle of the door was turned. The room was very dark so I could not see anything. Startled, I advanced toward the door and tried to unlock it but it had been locked from the other side.
"What the hell was happening," I whispered to myself already overtaken with fear.
I traced the wall for the light switch and turned it on when I got to it. Immediately, light flooded the room. But I wished I had never turned on the light. On the bed lay a hunk with a white towel over his chest.
I was almost startled to death. Victoria sent me there not to clean out the place but to clean up the dick of that stud. But I wasn't going to give out my virginity to that stud so easily, I would have to find a way to escape.
As I continued to deliberate on my current situation, the hunk on the bed beckoned to me to join him on the bed with his left hand.
"Not in your next world," I spat in disgust
The man rose from the bed and advanced toward me. With every step he took, my heart raced faster. There was no way I would be able to escape from this hunk. Victoria had finally gotten her way and succeeded to make me a whore.
The hunk got to me and began to survive the outline of my neck with his annoying lips. My heart pace raced raster. I could not take it anymore and I pushed him away from me.
But he didn't do a thing, he only smiled. "Your mum told me that you can be a little aggressive but I still wanted you. Especially your hot virgin blood," he said with a vicious smile.
His words sent cold shivers down my spine. He wanted my virginity and there was nothing I could do about it. But I wasn't going to give in to him without a fight. I was the daughter of an Alpha and nobody dared to oppress me that way.
"She is not my mother and you can never have me," I yelled at the man.
"Do you really think so," he said.
He began to walk seductively toward me but he stopped at a point. He threw away his towel form his body revealing every inch of his nakedness. I couldn't help but survey every inch of his body. He was even larger than I thought.
He was heavily built and had a hairy chest. From his chest, my eye traveled to his massive cock which made me almost throw up. This was the first time I was seeing a cock and it wasn't my mate's.
"Do you like it," he said to me, putting more effort into dangling it. I wondered how he was able to carry the weight of a member without it dropping to the floor.
Then, he came to me and began to kiss me again. I could fill the warmness of his cock against my flawless high. He ripped off my skirt with passion shifting his cock even closer to my body.
His cock began to grow slowly and he lets out a slight moan. And the only thing I could let out was a tear of despair. This was the end of it all.
Passionately, he threw to the bed and began to advance towards me. His long cock pointed at me like a massive arrow about to pierce into my chest.
"Elsa," I heard someone saying.
"Just great, a strange voice at this time," I whispered.
"It's your Wolf, Kiara," the voice replied again.
I was grateful that I could finally sense my wolf but my oppressor kept advancing toward me with his arrow like cock.
"Don't let him do that, he his not your mate," my Wolf, Kiara said.
When the man finally came to me. He tried to draw down my paint but I angrily gave him a hard kick on his stomach. I could feel the inner strength of my wolf flowing through me.
"You want this the hard way right," he glared at me. "So be it, you will get it the hard way."
With the strength of a lion, he jumped on the bed and held me tightly. My wolf let out a painful sigh. I could not let this happen. With my elbow, I hit his jaw. Making him groan in pain. I quickly advanced to the door to get it open.
I could already feel the urge to shift for the first time. I knew we were in a human-dominated city so I would have to shift somewhere else. I just sensed my wolf for the first time so I could not tell if this beast was a werewolf or a human. I tried hard to unlock the door but it would not turn. I was stranded there.
The hunk on the bed continued to advance to me. Even if I had to die, I would never let anyone expect my mate to touch me. "But what if after all this sacrifice, I get rejected by my mate?" I swallowed hard.
ELSA POV
I felt the inner working of my wolf and I kicked the door so hard that my legs ached. Fortunately, the door broke open and I ran out of the house to the nearest forest where I could shift and I would not be caught.
I ran as fast as my legs to carry me until I got into the forest and I shifted into my wolf there. I thought I was safe and only wanted to lay there for the rest of that day because going back home was going to be a horror story for me.
Eventually, I slept there until very early that morning. I was awoken by the barks of angry trained dogs. They were owned by werewolf hunters searching for a werewolf in the forest and that meant I had been caught. I stood up swiftly from my laying position and began to run.
"Over there," I heard the men screaming.
My heart raced faster and I continued to run in the dark forest. I could see flashlights pointed in my direction. This was the end of my life.
"Faster Elsa," I heard my wolf saying.
But this was the fastest I could go. Then, I hit my legs hard on a rock and I fell to the ground. "this was my dead end," I thought.
I could no longer hear the barks of dogs. But a little flashlight coming in my direction. As the first time-shifted, my wolf was very weak. Then, a masked boy came over to me. I stared into his eyes and I was lost. I was in a terrible situation and I was falling in love. I said to myself.
The boy kept staring at me without making any attempts to move. "Was he going to report me to the others?" I thought.
Michael's POV
I am Michael, the son of Mr. Rufus, the Mafia heir of the werewolf hunters. That morning, my dad informed me that we would be going for some werewolf expenditure as some wolf activity had been discovered in the city.
I got into my werewolf protective equipment and joined them in the forest. I wanted to make my dad proud by being the one to get this werewolf.
In the forest, the werewolf was sighted easily and we started chasing her. But a few minutes into our search, we lost track of her.
"Search over there," I heard my dad saying.
I went to my assigned location and found the werewolf lying on the floor of cold mother earth. I had never seen such a beautiful thing all my life. I couldn't let them have her, I would have to help her escape or she would be killed.
"Stay there and don't move an inch," I said to the werewolf. I wondered if she understood what I just said as she only stared at me.
I went over to the rest of the gang as though I had not seen anything at all. "Did you find anything," my dad inquired...
"No father," I replied. "There is no werewolf there.
The rest of the werewolf hunters joined us. They also didn't find anything. I could not take my heart away from the werewolf. I wanted to go back to her and ask for her name. Or even hold her hands.
I was supposed to be a werewolf hunter, but here I was longing to be with a werewolf myself. But it wasn't me. It was something on the inside that wanted her and it kept telling me that it was mine.
I would have to go back to her anyhow. My dad noticed my clumsy walk and he could not help but inquire about what was going on.
"What is it Michael," he inquired.
"I dropped something at the other end of the forest and I have to get it," I replied.
"Okay, son but be very careful."
I pulled away from them and journeyed to where I found the werewolf. But she was no longer there. I looked around and found her staring at me in the bushes.
"Hey," I waved at her.
ELSA POV
I stared at the masked young boy that just rescued me from those hunters. He had come back for me. I never knew that humans could have a heart of flesh in them.
I advanced slowly towards him and snuffed him. He had a very sweet scent and I wish he was mine.
"Who are you," I inquired.
He seemed a little bit shocked hearing me speaking to him.
"You can speak," he said to me.
"Certainly," I replied. Now that you know that, can you please tell me who my savior is," I inquired? "Are you part of these werewolf Hunters," I inquired further
"Yes," he replied."And I am...."
That was the only thing I could pick from all he said. He was a werewolf hunter just like my father's killer and the one who lead the massacre of my pack. My love for him vanished into stale hatred and all I wanted now was to have him dead.
He saw the anger in my eyes and he began to advance backward. I began to recall how everything in my pack was destroyed, how my mother was shot before my very eyes, I wanted my revenge and I would begin with him.
As he attempted to run away, I pounced on him and pierced my long claw into his chest while he let out a scream of despair.
"Michael! Michael," I heard my enemy screaming. I could pick out his ugly voice even in a flood of other voices. I looked down into the dying boy's eyes and it was full of confusion.
"I am very sorry but I had to do this," I whispered into his ears and ran into the forest before his father would get me there.
