It all started the night my father tried to have me killed. I was the human princess trained to the hate the wolves my whole life and see them as our predators but it all changed that one night. On my 18th birthday my father tried to have me scarified but I escaped.it was the night of the full moon when the wolves had full access to their powers. That night when I ran from my father, I knew I couldn’t leave he was definitely going to have my head he had his guards chasing me. The thought struck my head and I ran to the crept where the rogue alpha had been captured and kept for years by my people. That night to escape I made a stupid deal with my predator and the monster that I had been groomed to hate. I unleashed the beast and escaped with him but what I don’t know is what starts as a desperate escape plan becomes something formidable and full of twist and tension. My name is Rowena The human princess and this is my story.

Slit her throat. Do it now. I heard my father's cold voice as I struggled to pull the arms from my throat. All the elders of the kingdom stood in a spot as if they were watching some drama. My tears weren't enough, I was going to be killed , as a sacrifice for some barbaric ritual, this wasn’t what they told me. My father stood right in front of the fire watching me. “Father pls”I begged again the tears coming out as I struggled to pull away from the man’s grip. My father's face was blank and cold, he had no expressions towards me, he wasn’t the man that had trained and loved me all my 18 years of living he was different. A monster, a cold blooded calculated killer and yet he claimed he wasn’t. I couldn’t die,not now,I wasn’t going to be a sacrifice. “If you won’t do it, then I will” my father stated rather coldly but before he could get any closer, the man pressed the knife directly to my throat and there I felt it . The blood, the pain and at that instant, something snapped inside of me and I used my legs to hit in-between the groins of the man who held me. The knife fell from his hands and I broke away from his hold I turned to him and just like I had been done as a prey I grabbed the knife and dug it right into his throat . It all happened so fast and right now my father looked horrified but before he could grasp it, I ran towards the door. “Don’t let her escape,bring me her head” he screamed so loudly as I ran past the guards at the door and ran out of the dungeons as fast as my legs could carry me . The dungeons were right under the castle and all I knew was that I couldn’t escape, not with my fathers men charging behind me hotly. The gown I wore was weighing me down and so I used the knife I had with me to tear off the gown and I was left with the Lenin material. This was the first time I had to fight , never had I fought in my life. The strong stench of mold and decay filled my nostrils as I stumbled through the darkness . As I ran I could hear the heavy footsteps of my fathers guards right behind , they were coming . The next moment I was out of the dungeons and standing at the back of the castle that I once cherished . I could take to the woods and escape but I knew it, I knew that my father's men would catch up on me sooner or later. I saw that look on his face, it wasn’t of love ,my father was determined to have me killed. “Find her and bring her to me alive” I saw the guard jump on the horses coming towards my direction. As the thunder struck and The rain kept pouring the guards eloped towards the woods in their horses My heart,I felt it, the intense beating on my chest like it was going to pull out , my eyes were beginning to twitch,the tears threatening to come out. I couldn’t cry, my tears weren’t going to save me , I knew it , my father was going to kill me. The moment I noticed they had gone far, I came out of my hiding , but what suddenly caught my attention was the moon underneath the rain. It shined so brightly and that was when it struck me. It was the night of the full moon. The wolves, they could change tonight and him, he would be my escape plan. The loud howl from under the castle reminded me of the predicament and that was it, before thinking twice I dashed into the crept of the castle using the back door. I moved as quickly as I could,going towards the light , I could hear it , his breath was getting stronger as I got closer. I hid behind the walls as another set of guards walked past me . The moment they passed. I tiptoed to the fire and put some grass in it and threw it into the midst of the two guards at his door. Their coughs could be heard and they were staggering away. Once they were cleared out of sight , I ran to the cage and behind those mighty cage , I saw him. The man, the myth and the story, the monster that I have been warned about my whole life , this wasn’t some joke he was real. His broadness was what caught my attention. His body was admired with dark tattoos and they all seemed to tell a story. He turned as if sensing the presence of someone and right there his dark hair fell to his shoulders showing his sharp features.when his eyes met mine there was no life in them, it was cold plain and rigged and the stare he gave me oh! , it was more like he was searching deep into my soul. Being in this cage had taken a huge toll on him, I could tell that but that seems to affect him much , he still looked as powerful as told, maybe that was the reason my father put him here all alone. The Rogue Alpha walked away from the window and then approached me,he had a hint of amusement on his face. When he got to where I was he stopped and then placed both his hands on the cage. “You shouldn’t be here princess” the Worlds came out of his mouth and it sounded more like a warning. My hands trembled slightly when the words came out, even though he was behind the cage , I could feel the darkness that followed with his voice. He was a monster, a predator and a cold calculated killer and it was the night of the full moon. If I helped him he could help me. I’m going to let you out and when I do, I want you to help me. Is that an agreement? I asked him and even though my voice was trying to break I was tensed. He looked at me as if studying and trying to understand what I had said. Fragile and beautiful creatures like you aren’t supposed to be here princess, what makes you so sure that I would save you instead of snapping your neck ? As you can see it’s almost the full moon the moment the rain stops and trust me, that’s the last thing you want to witness, princess. I swallowed nothing as I stared at the man with the beautiful green eyes and dark hairs A loud howl escaped from his mouth and the next moment, his fangs came out ,suddenly he was on fours. It all happened so fast and all I could see was him, a big black wolf in his glory. That moment I felt the rush of adrenaline inside of me and that sick feeling to throw up but once I heard the heavy footsteps coming from behind us ,I snapped , I grabbed the keys the guards had left behind and I unlocked the gate. I unleashed the beast. “She released him.” I heard one of the guards scream and all that I could see was his head snapped away from his body and the blood gushing out. The wolf was out , once he killed him he turned to me as if nudging me to come. Ignoring the fear burning right in my chest I ran towards Him, the wolf bent and just like that I was sitting on top of a wolf and grabbing his furs. His moves were calculated and faster than any animal I had ever seen in my life. In a flash of light we were standing right in front of the castle , he sprinted towards the woods jumping past the castle gate and as I turned , I saw my father release the arrow. I felt that sharp feeling inside of me and I passed out.The humans are here.His words kept ringing in my head as the panic hit through me , the fear going through my veins.My father, he was here , here to claim me.“Protect me princess Jake “ Dylan screams out before dashing through the door.Jake doesn't wait for another word , but the next instant , he grabs me up from the chair putting me in his arms as he walks out of the office .My eyes went to the other side of the hall and all that I could hear was the swords clashing together coming from there.Jack's grip on me was hard as he ran towards my room but before we got closer , I saw a man standing by the way .I felt Jake back tense and the next moment, he was dropping me on the floor .“Get out of the way Ken , I don’t want to kill you” he says, dragging out his sword.Ken had a big cut on his face probably from the wars that he had fought in and right now he didn’t look too pleased to see me , I could tell .Ken dragged out his swords as he walked closer to Jake.Why shoul
The familiar smell of forest and cinnamon filled my nostrils the moment I stepped into his office.Dylan was seated on the chair in the most basic tops that I had seen him in and he was writing into the book in front of him.“Shut the door princess” his voice interrupted my thoughts.I pushed the door closed and turned, Dylan had stopped writing and was staring at me as he nudged me to sit on the chair that was just opposite him.I sat on it, placing the book that I had picked from the library on my lap. We both sat in silence as just the sounds of Dylan breathing can be heard in the office.I took out my time to look around, the fire at the corner of the office made it warm and also the flower vase on top of the table mixed with the rough files on the table and the soft comfy couch at the right side of the room.My eyes looked around surveying his surroundings. He had changed, the long dark hair that looked so unkept that night had been trimmed to perfectly fit his fac
In the few days that followed, I spent them in the room without coming out.I didn’t see any reason to and the only person that had come into my room was her.Sylvia the brown skin girl.Right now, I was standing by the window watching the castle from where I stood when the door opened .It was Sylvia and when I turned it was her she had a thick pullover with her.I had worn shorts and a top which still felt cold , since the north was very cold.“This would do the job”she says as she hands me a sweater.Thank you Sylvia nodded and then nugged at me and l followed her.I walked out of my room for the first time since I arrived in this pack and since it was late , I couldn’t see much but Sylvia was right ahead of me.Sylvia was the girl that Dylan had asked to look out for me , something tells me that she hated me but then she just had to do it .We have spoken a few words to the other since but I understand and I just don’t want to push it.As we walked down the hall , I co
When I opened my eyes , I wasn’t in the cell that I had thought that I would be in, I was laying in a bed in a comfortable room.The heat from the fire kept the room warm and the room smelled like earth mixed with the faint smell of smoke.I rolled my head to the other side as I took a good look at the fine linen used to decorate the room, the tall narrow windows with strained color glass gave royalty.All the events from last night flooded in. that bastard.He betrayed me and still called me his.He would never, I wasn’t a property or a commodity to be owned.My room opened and a girl walked in curly dark hair going down on her pretty brown skin. She had a tray in her hand as she approached me and when she saw me awake a smile appeared on her face . “Didn’t know you were going to be awake now”she tells me as she sets aside the tray.Before she could say something else, the door to her room opened and there he was.Standing in his glory and in his kingly regalia.Dylan.
The last 24 hours of my life have been the most depressing hours.Everything had happened so fast, at the beginning of this week I was supposed to be my people’s princess but here I was, caged and locked away in a cell in the wolf kingdom awaiting my fate which I knew was death.My heart still hurts from the betrayal that I felt from him, his face haunted me. I had tried not to think about it , but it hurts so much .The way he looked at me , the anger and the disgust in his eyes, I saved him from my fathers cell , but this is what I get as a thank you.Being betrayed by my father and now by the monster I unleashed, what was I thinking ? that the wolves were going to accept me with open arms.The door to the cell that I had been kept in was suddenly pushed open and the two guards that were standing by the door walked in and dragged me up.Struggling with them was of no use to them, I was weak and hadn’t eaten a good meal in days.The guards dragged me with them to the s
Dylan fastened his hands around me pulling me closer to himself as he drove towards the city gates.It wasn’t close as I had thought or imagined , by the time we got to the city gate , it was nightfall.Dylan unsheathed the sword from the horse and raised it up from where we were, I heard the gasp from the men at the gates and the next moment the big gate was being pulled open .Dylan didn’t seem to care about the shocked expression on the faces of the men in front of us.He stopped the horse and then stretched his hands towards me , I grabbed them and then he pulled me down with him as the guards behind him took the horse.“ Stay close princess” he whispered silently as we walked into the castle in the dim light .Something about the environment felt weird and sacred , it was like the night that my father tried to have me killed.As we stepped into the castle, Dylan stopped and at that moment he looked around and for the first time in days of being in the woods with him , I
