"Yes, let's sneak outside please. it has been years. I can't wait any longer!!" My wolf, Sienna, howled and kicked at me with urgency, as if she would die if I change my mind.
"What if we get caught?!" I sighed."What if we don't get caught?!" She replied almost immediately, kicking me gently again."It's risky, especially with the kind of hatred everyone has for us. We...""Life is all about risk!!" She shouted, and I couldn't hold my laughter."We will be whipped 20 times for this!""That's if they even find out. And tonight, we already have excruciating torture waiting for us. Let's just have this moment to savor." She whined, and I nodded."But....""No Buts.... We haven't attempted to sneak out before. They won't expect this, and we won't take long before returning. No one really cares about us and won't notice we are out for these few minutes! Remember how busy they all are in preparation of the full moon festival tonight." She coaxed in enthusiasm, as if there were something special she kept outside."Alright, let's get dressed up!" I chirped, and she leaped in excitement, pulling my legs forward so much that I almost fell."Do you have a wolf boyfriend out there that I don't know about? You're too eager!" I tittered as I began to search for my hooded long-sleeved jacket, which could hide my face a little."I think we might find our mate outside!." My wolf muttered, forcing a surprise look all over my face as I raised my brows at her."Really?" I gasped, and she nodded like a baby. My lips quirked in a lopsided smile."Since he has refused to meet us all these years, let's go hunting for him then," I winked and giggled.I got dressed up in my black hood, which I wore over my favorite round neckline gown that stopped right above my knees. It was my only gown without any torn parts but was quite oversized around the chest region, so the long jacket will do well to cover that. I had no good clothes anymore, as they had been either burned or thrown away by the Luna.Just as I opened the door of my room, fear drifted in. The thought of being caught filled the back of my head, and the terror of what would happen next loomed around me like a cloud of fog.I stepped out and shut the door, swallowing the lumps in my throat as I gave rapt attention to my surroundings. I was going to sneak out through the backyard, which has no bodyguards since it was abandoned.I peeked around the corner, checking to make sure the coast was clear. The hallway was silent and empty, but I knew better than to let my guard down. I had to be careful and stealthy if I was going to make it out of this building undetected.With each step, I moved cautiously, trying my best to remain as silent as possible. My mind raced, thinking of all the worst-case scenarios—being caught and the consequences that would follow.Just as I climbed down the stairs to the second floor, heading for the next staircase, which would take me to the first floor that leads to the backdoor, I realized I was stupid to make this decision.I stood frozen in place at the top of the steps, my heart pounding in my chest. Every nerve in my body was on edge, and I could feel sweat trickling down my back.Up to three hefty men were there, dressed in their black suits and trousers with dark glasses. I had seen them in action before, so ruthless and unforgiving."Hey." Someone called out from behind, and I almost slumped, my heart almost falling out as I cringed and gasped in fright.I turned and saw that it was the Luna's personal maid again."What are you doing here, dressing like that? You're feeling cold, suddenly?" She gave me a suspicious look, grazing her eyes up and down my body."Yes, I am feeling cold. Do you have any problem with that? And... what's up with those ceramic jar and cups you broke?" I smirked, and she hissed sadly."You can keep a secret, can't you?" She grumbled, sneering at me."Yes, but not a secret from my enemy. I'm waiting for the alpha and Luna to be done with their endless meeting, so I'll report you." I snickered, and she grunted in frustration."Please. The Luna dislikes me so much and will really beat me harder for this. I was looking for you to apologize and beg you to keep it a secret, please.. ." She stuttered, flustered and hopeless. I was never going to agree at first, but I needed her help now if I wanted to leave here."No long talks. Get me out of here." I said, smiling.She gasped in surprise, giving me the "you are joking" stare."You're trying to run? We know that isn't possible. You....can't go anywhere unnoticed, and the boundary will detect..""I'm not running, parrot. Let me just enjoy a few moments of freedom out there." I cut in."It's your choice, though. Are you helping me or not?" I added, and she nodded immediately."But....""No But..." I hushed her."I don't trust you." She whined."Are you such a dumbass? What do I need your trust for?! help me out and I keep my mouth shut or the reverse be the case." I rolled my eyes and was about to head back when she grabbed my hand."I'll help you, but please don't snitch on me. First, remove that jacket and hand it to me because it makes you suspicious. We are walking out like normal girls on duty. Since you're with me, they won't suspect you. I'll lead you to the backyard, and from there, you leave. I hope you're ready for whatever consequences you..."" Stop talking and have it, please!" I chirped happily and stuffed the hood jacket in her hand, not interested in hearing whatever she was saying.She folded the cloth in her arms and then motioned for me to follow her, and just as she had foretold, the bodyguards only gave us a little glance and looked away when they saw her.She actually led me smoothly to the backdoor, and I was just trying so hard to push back the grins that threatened to spread all over my face. My heart was thumping in so much joy, the kind I had never felt since my mother died. It was like a wave coursing through my entire being."Take your hoodie; you can go, and make sure you come back earlier and unnoticed, or else, you will have yourself to blame for what comes next!" She warned and flung the jacket at me before walking away almost immediately.I didn't think twice before dashing out wildly like a goat that had been tethered all its life and was finally set free."Sienna, we are out! We are outside, away from that shit hole!" I screamed inwardly to my wolf, running as fast as my legs could carry me, tears of joy splattering over my face as I laughed cheerfully with my wolf, who seemed to be even happier than I was as it leaped and backflipped inside me with howls that had so much joy."Yes!!! Yes!!! Baby! We did it! Just run faster to the village square, over to the forest, woods, rivers, and garden. We have a limited time, but we will enjoy it to the fullest!" She chirped, laughing with true happiness, such which she had never had before.Since she appeared inside me as my wolf when I turned 18th birthday, life has never been pleasant for her.She knew we were doomed for having the vampire gene, and I was really surprised she didn't take her life and leave me wolfless. She decided to actually stand by me and be my only companion, even when it meant I might never be able to shift into her form to let her enjoy life like other wolves like her.
"You are not going to say anything?" He asked with a quizzical look, his voice deep and smooth, so smooth that I felt like he were speaking into my soul.I gasped and smiled brightly, but he didn't even return the smile and instead let out a deep frown."What do you want me to say, Mr handsome?" I beamed, feeling the rush up my cheeks. I am sure they are like tomatoes right now."What are you doing here? Leave. I want to stay alone." He rasped, but I stepped closer to him, my eyes never leaving him. I really love how his eyeballs flinched and flickered brightly from side to side as if there were lights in them."Isn't it surprising that you didn't know who I am? Every member of this pack knows me." I smirked and saw his brows furrow together as he cleared his throat and gave me a long stare."Who says I don't know you? I just don't want to...."Shhhh," I placed my index finger on his lips, and he let out a growl, his frown deepening as he quickly slapped my hand away. "Don't touch me
"Really? What is going on?" I mused in surprise, watching him take his eyes away from me. I was wondering if I was dreaming, because this is far different from what vampires do to werewolves. Did he mean what he just said? That I should go away without any harm from a vicious vampire like him?Slowly, I stood up, staring intently at him in readiness to dodge any of his sudden attacks that I still believed would come. Vampires are very cunning and ruthless, and werewolves are one of those that they enjoy bullying with their special abilities. Even when I began to walk away, he didn't come for me, and he didn't even turn to glance at me. I don't know why I felt some kind of guilt for treating him like a monster when he meant no harm.But those are my silly thoughts. Vampires are evil, and the best thing for me to do now is leave this place as fast as I can."There she is!!!" A sudden voice burst loudly from a corner of the bush before I could dash off, and I quickly swirled to the corn
I stood there for some minutes, pondering what just happened with my eyes fixed on the exact spot he left from. I could still feel and hear the thumping of my heart, still accelerating real quick, as the image of his face was all that filled my mind like a dark cloud before rainfall.This was the first time I met a vampire, and it was still so hard to accept that he was one of them. Why was he tender to me? Why didn't he harm me or even allow anyone to hurt me? The young man literally saved me from being raped by those disgusting perverts.How possible is it that a vampire, our biggest enemy and rival, was the one who rescued me from my own people who tried to harm me. This is really ridiculous and doesn't seem real.The sun had set, and night was fast approaching. I mean, it was already dark, and if I don't get home in less than a minute, it is very likely that my absence will be noticed because once nightfalls, the next thing is to take me to the dungeon, where I will stay and await
I saved her from those rapists, but that doesn't mean anything close to love or anything related to that shit. It's what normal people do to protect girls from perverts who think they can have their way with them against their will."So what about those bodyguards you killed along with her so they wouldn't catch her? You were literally becoming her guardian angel all the way back." My vampire beast teased."I did that?""No, your ghost did." He laughed, and I grit my teeth, increasing my pace towards my room.I can't believe I really did all that. What came over me?"Jaden!" My mother came hugging me as she stepped out of the palace, meeting me in the sitting room just as I was about climbing up the stairs."We were worried." She added, pecking my cheek."No more worries." Can I go to my room now?""Not yet, son." My father cut in, walking out of the palace too.I sighed, facing him."Please, I'm tired and need to rest my head.""You have a visitor. They had been waiting since you we
We were three, including me and Jake, so we just had one spy join us this night. It wasn't an official spying day, but my father doesn't want to lose any chance of finding out how to successfully destroy his enemies, especially this particular pack.None of us knows why his hatred for them runs so deep in the core of his heart. The resentment reeks from both his eyes and voice each time he talks about them. I was sure they had done a really evil thing to him—something he would never forget and wouldn't rest till he saw their destruction. Anytime I ask him why his hatred for them goes way deeper than for other packs, he will only grit his teeth and tell me that some day I will find out. Honestly, I don't really care.Werewolves are our grave enemies, and that's all I know. We are born to hate them and hurt them at the slightest opportunity. It's forbidden to help or do anything good to any of them. Growing up in the royal packhouse and staying in the palace with my father gave me the
Selene's POV They had all gone to the royal hall as the time for the festival was fast approaching. I was on my bed waiting for my cruel fate then just as expected, my door burst open with four bodyguards stomping in to take me away to the dungeon when I would stay before the time for the torture."You should one day die in your sleep, bitch!" One of them snorted in resentment thinking I was sleeping as they used slap to jolt me up."Why are you putting on that hoody jacket? Cold?" Another sneered, and my heart skipped a beat at how their eyes stared down at me in suspicion."I can wear whatever I want. Can't I?" I seethed and was smacked in the face by one of them. I expected that. No one wants to hear me speak up for myself. I should always stay timid and receive every lash like the puppet they wanted me to be.My life sucks."I pray you die today after the torture." His voice was like ringing bells in my ears, and I was a bit hazy from that smack across my face. All I could do wa
I scrubbed my eyes, shaking my head and staring intently at the body being dragged with each arm by the two bodyguards. Thick red blood was smearing in a straight line as her body trudged along the floor over to the front of the cage, where I was.Her face and entire was bloody with deep cuts and stabs, but I could clearly recognize her as Joy, the girl who just left here after bringing food for me.They dropped her motionless body on the floor and unlocked the key of the cage before flinging her inside before locking the gate back, leaving me with Joy, who seemed to have been tortured and wounded so severely. Every part of her body, from head to toe, was bleeding, and her breath was shallow, forced, and hitched at intervals.She was dying."Joy!!" I shrieked, taking her into my arms and trying to wake her up, but the young girl doesn't seem like one to survive it anymore. Her eyes were closed, and apart from her heart, which was thumping, no other part of her was in motion. They had
