I pushed, propelled, and shoved my way out of the door my knees were pressed together, and the upper arm of my black dress was torn and left scratched.
“Help!”
I cried out. I was locked up in a small room almost like a walked-in closet close to the stable. Hays was packed at the side of the room and burning in flames and wood in the roof had got caught with it and was starting to fall.
I was locked in here to be saved from the intruders that had gotten into the pack. Mother left after the door was bolted from the outside. She begged me not to make a sound that it was gonna be over soon and she would come back to get me out.
She lied. She never came back.
Unaware that the flames would break into the room I had squeezed myself in.
I got to the door and my hands hit the door fervently, thick dark smoke was looming around me. I banged the door harder with my fist. Coughing and shouting.
“Anybody!”
“Mom! Dad!” I called out and coughed, my eyes were clouded with tears, and my throat was burning. The heat was getting too much and my skin was starting to feel the burn.
“Retreat! Fire! Fire!” Someone yelled outside the door, I pulled back on my feet, leaned on the wall, struggled back to the door handle, and held it. It burned my hand when I touched it, I cried and fell back to my knees.
“Under attack! Protect the Alpha!” That was the voice of the beta, I was certain of it. Cranon Felipe, the strongest of the wolves and leader of the pack warriors.
He was closer to my father, his best friend's father called him.
He was close.
“I’m here!” I coughed, if I could shout a little bit more maybe, I may get heard.
“...protect him with your life!” He screamed.
“Somebody! I’m right here!” It broke free, the tear spilled off my face running down my cheeks aimlessly. My eyes were fixed on the keyhole, I couldn’t breathe and my sight was blurry, I wouldn’t last long in here.
“Protect the princess!” My father, Grahams Wells yelled, the alpha of the White wolf Pack. He was the sweetest man I’ve ever known.
And I know he loved me dearly.
“D-dad...” my breath was shaky. I wiped my eyes and stared through, he was coming to the room as I was locked, I couldn’t open it because it was locked from the outside.
He was coming to get me out, I smiled out of tears with a glint of hope in my eyes.
He was gonna protect me.
I wiped my eyes to make my views a bit clearer and I saw a tall man behind him and hurled a spear, with contains a sliver of dust into his back, it hits him and made him jolt forward and the spear came out through his chest.
His chestnut eyes were on me. A taint smile appeared on his thin lips before his eyes closed up. My eyes watered, I didn’t know when the tears fell off.
“My...Princess...” his voice cocked. And he fell face down.
A gasp escaped my mouth, and I took in more of the smoke, I ran from the door but there was nowhere to hide, the flames had come through, the door was burning and I was trapped.
“I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die...” I cried because I couldn’t breathe anymore. And a wood from the ceiling fell on me. I fell with my stomach on the ground and burning wood on my shoulders.
“Argh!”
I was only thirteen.
When I lost everything.
“Wake up!” The whiplash on my bareback, made my eyes snap open immediately, the cloth on my body was more or less a rag. It could barely cover up anything.
I stared over at my left shoulder and saw a scar, fire burns. I breathed out, it was the same dream again. My eyes glanced around briefly and they fell on him, the tall man in the rat hole of a room I stayed at night and a wooden door that could easily be broken in.
Damn!
I didn’t hear the alarm sound.
I overslept.
I rose from the hard mattress on the cold floor and began to pant in fright anticipating what was gonna happen to me next.
“Sweet dreams?” He mocked and whipped me again, my face tightened, and my
teeth went over to my lower lip giving it a hard bite but I didn’t let a tear spill.
He pulled me up with a hand over my neck. And pinned me to the wall. His hands tightened around my neck, and all I could see was his menacing glare. And punched me in my stomach.
“You had enough time to sleep didn’t you?” He roared.
“I’m sorry,” I pled, I had slept in late. I knew it wasn’t an excuse for having to wake up late. My words seem to annoy him.
“I told you to address me as Alpha!”
He kicked my stomach severely, I had a hand over my head and face, that was the only thing I could shield.
“Alphabet.” I snickered in a tone only I could hear.
He punched me on my side ribs. I groaned, and he let go of my neck and grabbed my hair. I looked up at him with the side of my eye.
“Don’t you ever stare at me that way again!” He slapped me hard on the face and my lips twitched. His hits sting and I was tempted to have my hands over it.
“Shouldn’t you be working! You should be serving the warriors, you little cunt!” He slapped me again and my red strawberry hair sprawled over my face.
“You should be grateful you’re gonna leave tonight.” He scorned.
I was gonna leave tonight, where would he take me?
He let go of me and I dropped beside his legs.
“Where would you take me?” My voice wasn’t audible, I was scared to talk back, and I was scared to stare a man in the eye a man like him, the only stare I could give him was a deadly glare.
Cranon Felipe.
The beta of my pack. He had overthrown my father and taken his spot as the Alpha of my pack. I thought he was gonna protect him that night, I didn’t know he was the same man that had lay low behind him with the spear and thrust them into his heart.
And here, I was treated as a slave, bullied, humiliated, and scorned by Cranon’s men and Cranon himself. And it seem I was as well forgotten as the daughter of Edward Park, the Alpha of the white wolf Pack.
Everyone loyal to my father was killed, and my mother, I never got to find her. If she was alive or dead.
I didn’t know.
When I woke up, I was on a mattress and this man was staring at me with a mysterious grin. Then I knew my life was about to take a new turn.
It was never the pack I grew up in, it was Cranon Pack. And I was a low commoner, the filthy rag on the pack. Cranon hated me if the word hate was an understatement.
I was still waiting and hoping for one thing.
My prince, the prince that would love me, and cherish me again.
Today was such a remarkable day for me, wasn’t it? It was the day a girl like me was born.
Messy red strawberry hairs, weird violet eyes, plump red lips and I-don’t- know- how to smile-face.
The hope of finding my mate. Keep me alive, that was all.
I was perhaps as a mother would say, Cinderella waiting for her Prince Charming.
“What did you say?” He squats and his fingers went to my chin and he lifts them. Staring at my eyes, the unique thing left in me.
“Where would you take me?” I repeated with a groan, my ribs were burning in pain. Cranon sees every reason to hurt me, my sight disgusts him, and my breathing irked him.
“Don’t you dare talk back at me!” He kicked me harder on my ribs, I curled into a ball at the tight corners and then he pulled his pants off his waist.
“You know your punishment when you do!” He growled at me. And pulled by the hair, he dragged me closer to him with my knees on the ground.
“I’ve only asked a question.” My shaky voice came out, in a low tone.
My eyes welled up as my face went closer to his torso. His grip tightened on my hair, forcing me to open my mouth.
“I’m giving you as a gift, puppy.” He grinned showing off his missing front tooth. Using his nickname on me.
“Bastard...” Lana my wolf growls at him. I could hear her faintly, and sometimes I won’t hear from her for months.
I thought as well, she had abandoned me too.
I suddenly wished I was stronger to fight back, but I haven’t been able to shift to my wolf yet, even when I clocked sixteen. I could only hear her voice then, but it didn’t make me any different from an omega. And more or less a slave.
I looked up at him this time, and I held his gaze with a withering glare longer than I’d ever done.
He slapped my face to take my eyes off him.
“Don’t stare at me like that you witch!” He slapped me again with his right hand, I didn’t budge my eyes staring daggers at him.
He stood up with a little frightened look at my stare.
“Puppy, you ain’t gonna be sold.” He said if that was gonna soothe me. “...You’ll be a gift to the new crown king. As a shower of my alliance.”
He stroke my hair lightly and I cussed inwardly.
“Now you do as I say, puppy.” He growled lowly.
~Viola~“…She’s fine.” I replied to Damien's mom and smiled. I couldn’t tell her that Bianca was the reason I ended up in the hospital, and in that state where she found me. The quietness during the drive back home was overpowering.I was lost in contemplation, replaying the recent events, while Damien focused on driving.A grin formed on my face as Neveah, my future mother-in-law, came to mind. I was going to get married to Damien. I have set my mind on it, and Damien just has to believe it, that I would never let him go, not my mate. The affection and generosity she showed filled me with joy and I appreciated having her here with me. I whispered to her that I was going to marry her son, and she laughed. “I hope you win his heart.” She said. Upon returning to Damien's huge mansion, it didn’t look this huge before. Maybe I have come to see it this way because of what happened to me, and got me in the infirmary. I couldn’t ignore the disapproving glances I received from the guard
~Damien~I carried her on my lap and immediately I saw her cry. I hate to see her cry, it drives me crazy."Talk to me viola, what's wrong?" I asked her, caressing her flushed cheeks as I stared into those beautiful eyes of hers. “Did I do something wrong?” Did I make a mistake that I wasn’t aware of?"What’s wrong with Viola?’ Dugan whispered in a worried tone. ‘That’s what I’m trying to find out.’ I sighed. "Are you hurt? Do you feel pain anywhere?" I asked, my eyes roaming all over her body.The scars and bruises on her body were still there and it was taking time to heal because she didn’t have a wolf yet. I cradle my finger on her cheeks. “What’s wrong?” She sniffed and I wiped the tears off her face with my thumb. “I thought of my mother, when my pack was attacked, her body was never found and that was the last night I saw her. At least I had somewhere to go if I missed my father. I buried him somewhere in the pack but there was none for my mother…” She cried. “When I'm w
~Viola~I stared at Damien as he sleep, his head rested on my bed and his hand grasped on mine. I played with his thick dark hair with my fingers loving the feels in my hands and then trace it down his sharp jawline. He didn’t sleep throughout the night, I didn’t know why I couldn’t ask because I told him I was already sleeping. Out of the corner of my eyes, Damien was wide awake, his eyes didn’t shut for a moment. He was brooding so deeply and it only made my heart hurt seeing him that way. The door opened and I took my gaze away from Damien to the door, Lucas come into the room holding some baskets of fruits and some bread. “Monica...” Lucas grinned as he strolled into the room. I glared playfully at him. “Lucas.” I took my hands off Damien’s hair and fixed my gaze on Lucas.“Don’t stop.”“I love it when you play with my hair.”Damien’s hoarse voice made me freeze. I thought he was asleep.He lift his head from the bed and leaned his back on the chair with his hands folded star
~Damien pov~“Bianca!” I roared, marching down the hallway. “Damien calm down, if you meet her this way you’re gonna kill her and you don’t want that so you have to control your anger! Damien, stop!” Lucas was saying to me but I didn’t listen to anything he was saying. “Damien.” He tried to stop me, but my hand shoots out to his neck, and my Lycan sits behind my eyes. I grabbed him and flung him over the hallway fiercely. His back slammed against the wall, and Lucas fell to the ground, groaning in pain. “Da—“I marched down to the room of Bianca, the door was locked from the inside. “Bianca!”She opened the door with a bright and innocent smile on her face as if she hadn’t done anything wrong. “Damien, how are you...”I didn’t wait for her to complete the word before my fist connected with her face. It was the force that pushed her backward into the room and she let out a screeching sound. “How dare you beat her, it’s an offense and a double offense fighting her with your Lycan
~Viola Pov~I heard the door open, with a bright smile. I spun around thinking Damien came back but then. “...Damien you cam—Bianca.” The next word hung in my throat, I stiffened, I wasn’t expecting to see her, and she was here in Damien’s room. “You’re back.” I struggled to say. “Why are you here in Damien’s room?” She stepped fully into the room with her eyes on my body from my messy hair and my clothes and the bedsheets which I had folded in my hands and was about to take out because there was some stain in them.“What happened to Damien?” “I...I...it was...”“What did you do to him, how come he was hurt? Do you know how I had to hurry down here because of what happened, that Damien was hurt!” She shouted at me, I shrink backward from her until my back was against the wall. “He’s fine now, he left.” I rushed my words and avoided having any contact with her.“You!” She wagged a finger at me. “Have you been messing around with Damien because I wasn’t here, did you think Damien i
~Damien~ “Where is he?” I marched out of the house with Lucas hurrying up behind me towards the lawn where the truck was parked. “I had him locked up.” “Take me to him immediately.” I snarled and opened the truck.“Hurry up, Lucy.” I stared at him over my shoulders.“Stop calling me that.” Lucas grimaces at his name. I leaned on the truck and stared at him. “Not until you stop wearing tight jeans and a t-shirt that has all your muscles rippled out.” I couldn’t believe I was stuck with him for years. “I’ll take you to him, Daemon Thorn.” Lucas gritted his teeth with feigned annoyance. He moved over to the side of the truck and opened the door of the truck. I lift my back a bit from the truck. “What did you just call me?” “Come here right now! Lucas!” I gesture for him to come with a finger, and the asshole ignored me. What imprudence!“Are you getting into the truck or not, I hide him somewhere far. Because I don’t trust what he could do. I couldn’t kill him either, I had to wa
