Chapter 1

~Jaden's POV~

NO!!!

This can't be happening... 

No!!!

Tears rolled down my eyes as I watched her lifeless body on the floor, covered in blood with her cloth torn apart. 

~ a Few hours ago~

Walking down the hall, I heard two people whispering. It seemed as if there was trouble. The whispers were too low that I could hardly pick a word. Getting close, all I could hear was

"We have to let Lady Karen know, there's great danger..."

Getting closer, they immediately stopped the whispers as if they sensed me coming. 

"What's going on?" I asked

"Nothing Sir?" They replied

Willow who was in charge of training me looked at the other man and gave him a sign to live

"What danger were you talking about?"

"Who's in danger?"I asked with curiosity

"Nothing young master, no one is in trouble." He replied 

I knew he was hiding something from me. Something was wrong somewhere. 

He walked me to our usual training ground and urged me to practice but this time he asked me to go against him. Normally, he would always ask me to go against the other men but I wonder why he wants me to fight him now. Well, he should be prepared.

I attacked first but before I could strike, I found myself on the ground. It happened so fast that I didn't see what was coming. No one has ever defeated me without struggle and no one can ever be that fast. But hey, he is Boss

"Get up and practice, we don't have much time?" He said and walked away

It was clear that something was wrong with the look on his face and the tone of his voice.

"I must find out what's going on," I said to myself

Walking towards my mother's room, I discovered that Willow was in her room. I moved closer, this time carefully to avoid being noticed again. 

"We have to do everything possible to keep him safe," mother said 

"I know, that means we have to leave as soon as possible," Willow said

"And we have to leave... He's here" come out young master, he said

"Can someone tell me what's going on?"

"Who are you keeping safe and who is after who?" I asked curiously

"No one my son" mother said

"Sooner or later he will get to find out, letting him know now would be the best?" Willow said

"What's he talking about, mother? I asked

She let out a sigh, walked toward me, and led me to sit on her bed.

"My dear, certain things are going on that you do not know. Some packs most especially "Eric's pack" are after you. And they would stop at nothing until you are dead" she said

But why?, I asked

"That's because you are one of a kind. You are special. You are the only one who can turn to a wolf any time and still change back." She said

But...

She cut me short and continued

"They are scared that you would overthrow them one day. They want to get rid of you before you become much stronger. They know that you have not become stronger yet."

"You have to leave tomorrow with Willow, to be saved." She added

Willow looked at mother as if being displeased with what she said.

What about you, mother? I asked

"Don't worry about me, I will be fine. You've got to be safe first. Our future depends on your safety." She replied

"Their future?, How?" I thought to myself

"Can I take a walk?" I asked

"Of course."She said then turned to Willow. 

"Make sure he's safe" she added

Willow nodded in response.

I walked out of the room still in shock at what I just heard. So I'm like a prey now. And Willow followed afterward.

Far deep into the woods,

"Stop," Willow said as I made a halt

"You don't have to beat yourself to it, it isn't your fault." He continued

"You are the chosen one. It's your destiny to lead us. Don't worry, I'll protect you with my life." He said as I ran to him and hugged him. At first, he was surprised but he then responded and hugged me back. 

"It's enough now, let's head home. Your mother must be worried now" he said as we walked back home.

Getting home, we found the gates open. Everywhere was quiet. 

"Something doesn't feel right," I said and Willow nodded in response.

Entering the gate we found our men lying helplessly injured on the ground. One was still alive.

Willow bent towards him and asked him what happened

"My la... My lad... My lady..." He said as he finally gave up.

On hearing this, Harry hurriedly rushed to my mother's room and I followed.

~present~

NO!!!

This can't be happening... 

No!!!

Tears rolled down my eyes as I watched her lifeless body on the floor, covered in blood with her cloth torn apart. 

I fell to my feet as I walked toward her.

Mother!!! I let out a loud cry.

"It's okay, young master," Willow said as he hugged me tightly.

"We have to leave now, I sense danger coming" he added

Still shocked at my mother's death, Willow dragged me out of the room to the stables. He placed his hands on my shoulders and said

"You have to be strong, you have to stay alive just like you promised your mother."

We have to...

"Get behind me," Willow said as if he sensed danger

He looked around but didn't see anything.

"Hurry, get on the horse now," he said

Quickly, I hurried and got on the horse and he joined me on the same horse

Hahhh!!!

We rode off into the woods.

Suddenly our horse stop and refused to move any further. And was just turning around. Willow calmed the horse down and came down.

"When I say run, you run. Understood?" Willow asked

I nodded in response

Still looking around when suddenly five wolves came out of the woods. And they looked really scary. 

"Run, now!!!" Willow shouted 

I rode with speed knowing full well that two wolves followed me. 

Ahhhhhhhh!!!
