Blood Awakening

Aura's pov

I was sleeping soundly on my bed when a loud thud woke me up. I got up quickly to check upon the surroundings but found nothing. As I was about to lay back on my bed when I noticed the door of my room left ajar, my instinct told me that something was not right. 

The unsettling silence above is hard to digest because my guts was telling me about something horrible that was about to happen. With the racing heart beats and keeping my sense wide open, I approached the door to peek through the space left. 

I was relieved when I found nothing suspicious and turned my heels to return back to the bed when a loud noise distracted my thoughts. The thunderous sound of growls numbed my senses and I quickly locked the door and slid a table to keep the door intact. 

The screams heard from the room above me send a chilling spike to my bones. The realization doomed upon me. My pack is under attack.

The footsteps echoed in the empty basement and I hid under the small cupboard of my room. I stayed as quiet as a mouse and hoped they would leave.

Nothing good has ever happened to me since my parents died so how could it be different this time?

As I thought the attackers must have left when they found nothing but suddenly the door of the cupboard opened and a dark shadow towered over me. His glazing golden eyes darkened and the gaze narrowed as soon as it hit with mine.

A warm  sensation travelled through my body but his cold gaze neutralized everything. 

His claws were sharp as talon and I never had my first shift yet. When I thought he would attack me when he lashed at me but the hit never came.

I opened my eyes slowly to peek through the orbs, I saw nothing. He was gone like he was never there.

I got out from the cupboard and a thought of escape wandered in my lost mind. As I took a step, a loud growl stopped me in my tracks.

"Who told you to leave without my permission?" His deep and low voice echoed in my brain.

I was in shock that no words came out even when I tried to speak.

He passed nearby and instructed, "follow me!" 

I did what he said. I followed him out of the house only to see a river of blood had they created here. All of the pack members were brutally slaughtered by this demonic werewolf and his pack.

I thought he was a rogue when he attacked me but when another werewolf bowed to him and addressed him as an alpha, everything inside of me shattered.

It was beyond my expectation. An Alpha is a respectable and responsible position held by the first borns but if he is an alpha who slaughtered the whole pack, it indicates only one thing, the Killer Alpha of North, Keiser.

"Alpha! We have killed everyone in this pack. Now, this territory is ours." I supposed he was the beta.

A devilish smile erupts on the Alpha's lips.

"Now they will regret messing with me!" The alpha stated.

Some male werewolves glanced upon me and their eyes showed nothing but lust. I was scared and wanted to run away but how? Even if I try my best, it will not be possible for me to save my ass from these hungry and lustful werewolves.

"Is she a reward from this pack, Alpha?" One of them asked.

The Alpha's eyes constricted and he growled loudly, "dare if you eye on her, I will take out your eyes from the socket." 

The wave of terror strikes and every hair on my body stood straight. 

"Then who is she, Alpha?" The beta asked hesitantly.

The alpha glanced upon me and his lips curled up in a sinistrous smile, "I have different plans for her."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, my own breath stuck in my throat. I was choking on my saliva when the tongue dried in thirst and fear.

The way the Alpha looked at me was fearsome. I was dying inside to know what he would do to me, but one part of my heart was not interested in knowing of his plans.

The whole pack dragged me miles without a single drop of water and as soon as the enormous iron gates opened to welcome the Alpha, I passed out on the ground.

I heard a commanding voice above my head, so I opened my eyes slowly, it was that Alpha. I got up straight and posed an erect position to show my respect. Whoever is he, now he is my leader and I have to submit to him.

The beta approached him and whispered something in Alpha’s ear. “I will be there in a minute.” and then his gaze fell on me, “take her to the dungeons.” he ordered and the guards dragged me to the bars. 

They held me captive and locked inside a dungeon to serve as a slave in the pack. I found a darkest corner to hide and pretended that I didn't exist to the other companions in the dungeons.
