Episode 3

Chosan's POV

A few years more with that self torture that I killed Lana, that poor sweet soul, another torment came knocking. 

It was a full moon. 

Not just any full moons, but the night I was going to transform into my wolf form, and the worst was, to be sent off to Alpha Thorien. 

To fulfill my Destiny!

As his slave!

Two years back, the then reigning Alpha, Thorien's father passed on, to join the others when he was eight hundred and six years old. And after his death which came like a thunderstorm to the Holy Bond pack and beyond, Thorien took over.

His ruthlessness, fearlessness, arrogance, and above all, his bad qualities in general, my greatest fear was his unsatisfied urge for young girls' bodies. That I might die on his bed the first night I would spend with Alpha Thorien. 

My fear grew as the days stretched further and further, closer into the first full moon I would meet my wolf that was dying to let herself out.

"I'm scared, Mom."

"You don't need to be, Chosan. You're going to be remembered by all the packs combined." Wearing a huge smile on her face, Mom hugged me.

Listening to my Mom's screaming heart, I knew she was suffering and dying inside, just the same way as my father who might look so strong outside.

"Your mother is right, dear." My Dad pulled me in for a tender hug, kissing my cheek. "You're the treasure of this pack. Accept your fate and make Holy Bond pack a happy and safe place for all werewolves."

Hugging my father tightly, a thick gasp erupted from the large crowd. I followed his gaze and my jaw slackened at the sight of the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on.

It was…

"We welcome you, Alpha Thorien!"

They all threw their bodies to the cold ground, including my parents.

"Dandan?"

"Yes, Alpha Thorien!"

Like the speed of light, my father dashed forward, bowing deeply at the Alpha whose skin was reflecting the moon like a shining glass. My eyes grew wider at the rare sight of such stunning beauty holding the stars of the night.

"Where's my Chosen? Is she prepared for her first shift?"

"Yes, Alpha. Chosan is right there." Dad pointed at my stiffened body. Terror washed me down as I stared.

Holy Bond pack is the weirdest, and my family… one weird people living in a weirdo land. A slave and you're all happy about it? My heart began to rise above my throat with every thick step the god of all Alphas brought towards me.

His dark demeanor was daring and it smelled like high flame sizzling my flesh. He towered over me and I swallowed, harder than a ball stuck in the throat of a tiny fish.

"Oh, hello there…" Licking his lips, he looked me up and down as if ready to crush an ant underneath his heavy boot. "So you're my Chosan? How interesting."

As I felt his large hand stroke my bare neck, I recoiled, taking a quick step backward. The next thing I felt was a sound slap on my back.

"Mom! Why did you hit me?!"

"I thought you to always stand still and allow your owner do as he pleases with you, right?"

"But… but…"

"But what?" She smacked me again. "Shut your mouth and stand in front of your Alpha now! Don't you know how mighty Alpha is! Go to him!"

I glanced up at Alpha Thorien who stood unmoving in front of me and Mom, begging him as if he was our god or something. My gaze hardened.

"What was I doing that will make your face swell? Tell me, my Chosan?"

"Please, Alpha, she was just–"

"Let her speak, Dandan!" He held his hand before Dad, and Dad shut his mouth at once and shrank back into his shell.

The quietness of the forest clearing was deafening, and the fierce thumping of the hearts of the werewolves present, was alarming.

"You were trying to touch… my.. my… to go there…"

"Where, my Chosan?" A smirk crept across his lips.

They all watched with wide eyes as Alpha Thorien forcefully pulled me towards his hard chest. His large hand coiled around my waist, keeping me glued to his body. The sweet aroma from his body wafted through my nostrils, and I almost fell asleep in his arms, by mistake…

"So you can read my thoughts? It is hot."

In a flash, Alpha Thorien sank his teeth into my lower lip, then stepped back. As though injected with something, I felt the crunching of my bones within. My body dropped to the ground with a heavy thud, and the next thing I felt was a sharp pain behind my back.

"Mommy!"

The fierce cry was seized the second my wolf poked her head out my face, and I could feel her furry hands tearing my body to shreds. As bloody flesh scattered around, the last thing I could remember then was that piercing howl that erupted from my wolf before it all went blank.
