“Hiyaahhh, go, go my Scarlet, run fast, we need to go away from here,” Gerthel, pulled the rein of her horse she named, Scarlet while her one foot kicked the saddle to trigger the horse to run fast. At thirteen years old, Gerthel has been trained well to ride a horse by her mother.She needs to escape as told by her mother while her mother, a powerful witch, and sorceress was trying her best to fight against the Red Hill Pack. The Red Hill Pack as headed by their Alpha, Alpha Thor attacked and set on fire their five hectares of rice farm and banana plantation, burning their house and the houses of the families of their farmers. Since last month, her mother refused to give the usual fifty percent of their harvest to the Alpha of the Red Hill Pack. It has been several years that they are suffering from the abuses of the Red Hill Pack’s Alpha and his warriors. Just a week ago, the Luna of this Red Hill Pack tried to kill her mother by shooting her with her gun upon her mother’s refusal to deliver fifty sacks of rice to their packhouse. However, powerful as she is, her mother just uttered a certain chant and the Luna immediately lost all the air in her lungs making her fall to the ground, lifeless. This might be the reason why they are now being attacked by the Alpha of the Red Hill pack and his warriors.A few meters away, Gerthel stopped and looked back. In her microscopic type of sight, she then saw when her mother gathered in her hands the fire around their farm and formed it into a magical ball. As her mother threw the ball of fire against the group of the Red Hill Pack, she saw the werewolves including their Alpha fly away while being gobbled by fire. With that, the remaining werewolves retreated and ran away from their land. Gerthel let her horse run back to their house and there she saw her mother lying on the ground gasping for her breath.“Momma, are you hurt?” she asked worriedly. She gathered her mother’s body into her arms with tears trickling down her cheeks. With difficulty in breathing, Gerthel’s mother tried to speak to her in her stammering and whispering-like voice. “Gerthel, I was able to use all my powers and energies, I am getting weak, but even if I die now, I will be happy. I killed the Luna before and now the Alpha of the Red Hill Pack. They deserved their death for making us live like hell.”Gerthel’s tears keeps flowing as she held her mother in her arms. “Momma, you need to be alive. We still have so many dreams to fulfill. Remember, we will still travel to other places when our harvest is good this year?” she uttered with grief while looking at her mother whose eyes are now closed and with her heart heaving for breath.“I will not live long my daughter. Take care of our farmers and their families. They are just pure humans, weak and vulnerable. In due time, you will discover the innate power that I passed on to you the moment you were born. Your wolf breed will also come to exhibit when the day of your eighteenth birthday comes. Let the moon’s light shines upon you when that time comes. My spirit will always be with you, Gerthel. Farewell my daughter, until the time that we will meet again,” stammering and in a low voice, Gerthel’s mother forced herself to speak.A few seconds after, the sorceress mother of Gerthel held her last breath. Her head fell down and her eyes closed with remnants of tears in her eyes.Gerthel wept so hard as she held her mother’s lifeless body in her arms. “Momma!!!”II
Five years after, Gerthel grew up to be a full-blown lady of extraordinary beauty. However, no male either human or werewolf tried to come near her for fear or disgust. Since birth, she has never been close to any male or female species, except her human friend, Karla, who is the daughter of the spouses Tony and Laura, the only ones she trusted when it comes to their farm and plantation operations. Gerthel was called NBSB or has had no boyfriend since birth.After the death of the Alpha of the Red Hill Pack, their small farm and plantation became peaceful and abundant. They felt safe and thought that such peacefulness will be all throughout their lives. Tonight, when the full moon illumines her body, she will start to shift into her wolf form. She will finally meet her wolf and will get the strength and speed innate to her as the daughter of an Alpha, even if her father is a rogue Alpha and had rejected her as his daughter from the day her mother conceived her. And most probably, as a wolf of adult age, she will finally meet her mate. Gerthel smiled at the thought that finally, she will be meeting her mate. She walked toward the dining area and saw the cake she bought at the bakery in the city. Laura and Karla prepared the table with food for them to feast on, in celebration of her eighteenth birthday. She also bought loaves of bread, drinks, and pasta, which she distributed to all the families of the farmers inside her farm and plantation.“Gerthel, my BFF, happy eighteenth birthday. You just came on time. We have prepared everything already. Look,” Karla said happily as she hugged her tenderly. Gerthel hugged her back.“Thank you, Karla and Aunt Laura. Where is Uncle Tony? Let us eat now. In a while, the full moon will start to show and you know what is going to happen to me. I want you to witness it. You are like my family now,” she said smilingly.“Tony is just changing his clothes. He will be here in a while, Gerthel. Happy birthday to you. I am sure your Momma is happily watching you now.” It was Laura who spoke with utmost sincerity in her voice. Her family could not thank enough for the abundant life they are having now because of Gerthel and her mother when the latter was still alive.When Tony showed up in the dining area, they started to eat happily after the family of Karla sang their happy birthday to her and gave their gifts to Gerthel.“It is nine o’clock in the evening already, Gerthel, the moon is in its full circle now,” Karla said when they were at the balcony already, drinking Laura’s homemade rice coffee.Gerthel made a deep breath while Karla got a small paper bag containing a set of clothes for Gerthel.“Let us go now into the woods,” Gerthel said smiling. Karla, Laura, and Tony joined Gerthel as she walked toward the deepness of the forest near their plantation.When they reached the middle part where the full moon was shining so bright, Gerthel stopped. “This is now the spot, where I am going to shift into my wolf form. I can feel it now,” she said softly yet with excitement. She could feel the humming of a soft, sweet voice inside her head and she guessed it to be from her wolf inside, who finally came to life.Gerthel knelled and waited until her shifting takes place. They were in that exciting moment when they heard loud growls from different directions. Gerthel’s eyes grew wide as she thought of the impending threat to their lives.“Karla, Laura, and Tony run! Run fast or climb a tree for your safety!” she shouted as she saw werewolves coming from different directions, running fast toward them.I Too late, maybe her warning was too late as she saw Karla being jumped into by one of the werewolves. One moment after, she saw the lifeless body of Karla being thrown like a piece of bread onto the ground. “Karla! No!” she screamed so loud while tears rushed down her eyes. She tried to have her first shift but her wolf seemed to have forsaken her so early or maybe because she was not yet completely inside of her when the attack happened. Before she could move further, she saw Laura being attacked too by one big brown werewolf. The werewolf digs his claws into the heart of Laura, making her sizzle and die at once. Blood spurted from her body. Screaming so loud, Gerthel ran toward Tony with the intention to help him when he too was being attacked by another werewolf. However, before she could reach Tony, a black wolf hindered her when it blocked her way and shove her stomach. She flies into the air with a ripped stomach. Gerthel’s eyes grew big as she felt the pain in her stoma
IGerthel’s eyes grow wide upon hearing what the man had just said. The word 'auction' rang in her ears.“What are you talking about? What auction?!” she spat at the man beside her.“Wealthy Masters, or even Kings and Princesses, will bid for you. You will be sold as a bed warmer,” the man sitting on the executive chair replied and then evilly laughed while his eyes raked over her body. Gerthel’s soft cat hairs stood up in fear while looking into the laughing man with shock.Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. “There is no need to include her in the auction tonight. My Boss would definitely like this woman. How much is her price?” With her head almost spinning, Gerthel turned her head to check on the man who all of a sudden spoke at their backs. The man seemed to be in his late thirties, tall, brusque, and with a brown complexion. He cannot be said to be handsome nor can be condemned to be called ugly. Ordinary might be more appropriate for him.Creases on her forehead became visible
IHer heart went wild, and so with her wolf inside. But the gorgeous man just looked at her with cold eyes. There were no traces that he felt what she felt. Her mate's pull toward her seemed to be not working. Until she realized by sniffing at him that he is not just a wolf. He is something more!“What are you doing in that tree at this hour?” his voice was colder than his eyes. “Err, I am sorry,” confused and rattled, she said. She will not of course admit to the man that she was trying to escape.He was looking at him intently. The light post nearby made her see how gorgeous the man could be. She had seen handsome werewolf men, but this one is far above them. His aura creates an illusion for someone who will see him that a Greek God just came down from the sky.“You better return to your room. Escaping is useless,” he said after a while, which brought scarlet color to Gerthel’s face. He easily sensed her plan of escaping, which has been a failure. Thanks to that tree and to him.Ju
IWith his penetrating eyes, the Boss looked at Gerthel from head to foot and then he smirked. “You looked so conservative, huh,” he said with a lifted eyebrow. His hand reached for her chin and forced her to look at him.Swallowing her saliva, Gerthel looked into his eyes and try not to bat. “Indeed, I am a conservative woman. Is it not obvious?” she retorted with bravery. She could not bear not to answer him back. If she can prolong the time in order for the Boss to forget about the real agenda why he called her to be in his room, it will be much better. There was mixed emotion in her, excitement and fear unlike her wolf inside who seemed to be purely excited to meet again their second chance mate.“I can guess that you did not prepare in coming to me tonight.” It was a statement rather than a question which the Boss let out in a disappointed tone. His eyes never left her.“My apologies. I was dragged in here without my consent. You see, Sir, I was a free woman, I have my own home w
I“Ahmm, no, I mean, of course. I don’t want you to get sick,” she shakingly replied, remembering what Mr. Gab had just told her a while ago.He seemed to have appreciated her reply as his usual cold face suddenly smiled warmly. “Now, let me help you remove your bathrobe, because of course, you will not soak in the pool wearing that, right?” he said with a hint of naughtiness on his tone, again.“Oh, I can manage,” she said in resistance but his hands already moved and in just a millisecond her robe was already down the nearby lounge chair. He looked at her from her head down and then frowned when he saw her white shorts covering her bikini swimming attire.“Really conservative, huh?” He chuckled.“I … I just don’t want the guards to …” she was not able to finish her words because the Boss already captured her lips and kissed her with such passion that made her melt in his arms. She did not know how to kiss back, this is actually her first kiss, and oh, she did not expect that kissing
IHe intended to follow Gerthel into her room. He is really getting hot and he wanted to ravish her. Watching her swaying hips, with just a bathrobe wrapped in her body, really turned him on.However, suddenly, he remembered what she told him and he stopped walking. He closed his eyes while clenching his teeth and then made a slight turn. This time, he walked straight to his own bedroom.He showered immediately while trying to release the heat that was overwhelming his whole senses. He could not fathom why he was able to agree with her condition. No woman was able to do that to him in her entire life. Women come to his bed willing and able. Always ready to please him, but this woman, this newly bought bed warmer of his right-hand man seemed to be making things difficult for him, but alas, he even got the patience, which he never knew, where he got. He is an impatient man, always, actually. He got what he wanted, anything, anyone, anytime, and anywhere. How dare this woman refused him.
IEarly in the morning, loud knockings awakened Grethel. She opened the door and saw that it was Mr. Gab again. As if totally awakened, she guessed what Mr. Gab’s presence this morning means then.With eyes fearful, she asked, “Mr. Gab, goodness, would my punishment starts now?”“Yes. I have here with me, Ms. Dahlia,” Mr. Gab said while glancing at the woman beside him, which Gerthel did not notice from the onset.“Oh, nice meeting you, Ms. Dahlia,” she said with an embarrassed tone. She did not notice her a while ago.“Ms. Dahlia, I will leave you now with Ms. Gerthel. Just explain to her why you are here,” Mr. Gab said before he turned his back on the two women.“Ms. Gerthel, would it be fine to meet you at the third guest room from here after one hour? I was told to teach you, how to please a man,” Ms. Dahlia said with a smile. She seemed to be just comfortable with what she said but Gerthel on the contrary was shocked upon hearing her uttered words.“What?” she asked furrowing de
IWith her mind spinning with everything that has been taught to her by Ms. Dahlia, Gerthel could not help to slouch on the bed and sigh several times. She could not remember everything that Ms. Dahlia told her, actually.“Ms. Dahlia, just a question, what is the business of Boss Dar?” She asked curiously.Ms. Dahlia’s right eyebrow lifted while staring at her. “Everybody inside this mansion knows that the Boss is the notorious Mafia Lord Dar. From where are you, Ms. Gerthel, and you seemed to be innocent of almost everything?” Gerthel in total amazement abruptly put her hands on her mouth as if controlling the urge to gasp. “Goodness, he is a Mafia Lord?”“Shhh, lower your voice. ““So the Boss is really that powerful, huh.” Still feeling astounded, Gerthel said in a controlled voice this time.“Yes, so be quiet now and most of all, make sure to please him.” Ms. Dahlia said almost snorting at her.Gerthel’s face suddenly grew red. "How can I be able to do what Ms. Dahlia had just t
