Chapter 1

I was working in the kitchen as usual washing the dishes, that is what I do every time, I cook, clean and wash behind the grownups. It has been eight years since I have been brought here, eight years since my life changed entirely. I thought back to the day that has led me here, to the day that changed my fate and now I am not sure if I will be able to become the girl I once was.

************Flashback************

I woke up to the sound of my mother knocking on my bedroom door and I groaned not wanting to wake up, my door is open but my mom likes knocking on the door to announce her arrival. She says that it's good manners, I agree but it is also bad manners to disturb someone's sleep and I want to sleep more but the knocking doesn't seem to stop at all. I just tried to ignore it and it was quiet for a few seconds before she started knocking and calling me out.

"Sweetie, come on wake up, don't you remember we have to go out today?" she called and I wanted to scream that I don't want to go

"Ughhhh, mom five more minutes please" I yelled from the bed and she opened the door peeking her head in with a smile on her face

"Sweetie, we are really getting late, we don't want to leave you home so come on" she said softly before she continued

"We are waiting for you at the breakfast table, don't be late" she said closing the door behind her

"Fine!" I said with a groan as I got up moving to the bathroom

My name is Ruby Mia Storm and I am a princess, yes, like a real princess. My parents are the King and Queen of our coven and we belong to the most powerful line of witches and I am the future Queen of the coven because I am the only daughter to my parents. The only problem is I haven't unlocked my powers like witches my age usually do and now I am not so sure any more if I have powers so basically, I am just a human. My parents are very protective of me. They say it's because I am the future of the coven but I think it's because I am human, I think they know that I don't have any powers and that is why they are just worried that someone might hurt me. I am also told that I am special and that is why I am born with a protector and that's my cousin Aiden, he is pretty cool and we hang out and play together all the time. He is thirteen years old; he goes everywhere I go if mom and dad are not around and I just keep telling him I am a big girl, of course I am because I am ten years old now and I can take care of myself.

I shake my head and focus on getting ready so we are not late or dad is going to throw a fit, I brush my teeth, wash my face and shower pulling on a pair of jeans and white tank top, I brush my hair and pull it in a ponytail. Once I am done, I walk out of my room going downstairs to the dining room. We are visiting one of the werewolf packs today. Dad said they were offering us a treaty and because we believe in living in peace, we should do treaties and help each other. Well, I agree there's no reason to become violent when there's no reason to, it's called the Moon Hunter pack, it's where we are going and like every other time mom and dad didn't want to leave me behind so I was accompanying them. I didn't want to go with them because I am always bored, there's nothing for me to do, they are always busy in meetings when we go out and I am left alone. I requested them to let Aiden come with us so he can keep me company but they said uncle and aunt need him here to help them with work.

I was sad because I would have to be alone again so I requested them to let stay back with Aiden, I did everything, I requested, I acted like I was angry, I pouted and I even told them I wouldn't talk to them but that they just laughed saying I looked cute and I sighed defeated because I knew nothing, I say would change their mind. I walked inside the dining room greeting everyone and sat down on my chair, mom smiled looking at me because I wasn't late, our maids served us breakfast, I took pancakes with my favorite chocolate syrup and bacon. Once I had everything I liked, I quickly gulped it down with orange juice. I enjoyed my breakfast and like every other time my mouth had chocolate syrup all around it, everyone looked at me and laughed saying I was really cute and I smiled sheepishly.

Once we were done, we said our goodbyes to my uncle, aunt and Aiden before getting in our car and buckling ourselves as we started our journey to the Moon Hunter Pack. Mom and dad were talking about the treaty while dad was driving the car and I looked out of the window looking at the passing trees and mountains. We live in the Daintree Forest with our coven and there are other supernatural creatures who live around us, we mostly stay in deserted areas and they are mostly forests. We try to stay away from human life as much as we can because we don't want humans finding out about us or any of us hurting the humans unknowingly risking our identity and then there is the risk of hunters. They are everywhere so we stay hidden to keep our existence hidden and we also feel closer to nature and we are more powerful when we are around mother nature.

I was enjoying the view but soon I started feeling tired from looking out the window. I don't know how long it has been since we have left or how long it will be till we reach the pack. I slowly drifted off to sleep and almost instantly I felt mom waking me up telling me we had arrived and I unwillingly got out of the car. We were greeted by a few people who welcomed us but suddenly sniffed the air as if they smelt something strange, then suddenly all them turned to look at me with a weird expression.

"She is a human" one of them said and I rolled my eyes as if it was something I didn't know

"Don't you dare look at my daughter, she is the princess of the Silver Moon coven, I dare you try anything funny and you will see the consequences" Dad warned and the man took a step back turning to look at dad

"I didn't mean any disrespect King Storm; it was rare that to find a human princess is all" the man said raising his hands in surrender

"Alpha is waiting for your arrival, the meetings room is this way" one of the other men said and we walked in the direction they motioned

Something was not right because this didn't feel like the usual meetings mom and dad always attended, there was something seriously wrong here because I could feel danger. I might not have powers but I can still sense things at times, not always but sometimes I can, I am also smarter than the kids my age. I wasn't allowed to go to school though because I was homeschooled and Aiden was homeschooled too because of me and he says that's the only thing he would not forgive me for and I always laughed at his statement. Yeah, coming to my thoughts like I said I can feel something is very wrong here and judging from the looks on mom and dad's face I could tell they felt it too and before I could say anything mom held my hand turning me to her.

"Sweetie, listen to us carefully, you will stay there in that living room and wait for us to come back for you and if I think something is wrong, I will link you to run and you will run without looking back, make sure to get out of the packs borders because once you are out of the pack you will be able to link to Aiden and he will find you then us, okay?" she asked checking if I understand what she is saying

"Mom, I am afraid, don't go inside, let's go back. I feel something is wrong here" I whispered and she gave me a small smile as she hugged me

"I know sweetie, don't be afraid. This meeting is really important and everything will be okay, just do as I say" she said kissing my forehead and I nodded my head in agreement

I hugged my parents one more time before I watched them get inside the meeting room, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. I sighed as I walked in the direction of the living room. Mom asked me to wait in, I looked around to see the living room and it looked good but everything here was dark, it gave me a feeling of being surrounded by evil. I shaked the feeling off before continuing to look around the living room. It has a few pictures of people who I assumed was the Alpha family but there was a bald man in one of the pictures that looked really very evil, he was like one of the villains I watched in a movie once. There were also paintings of wolves and men with women and kids which looked like family pictures, some looked really dirty and I averted my gaze because I remember mom saying we weren't supposed to see such things. It had pictures of people drenched in what looked like blood, it looked like someone painted them when the person was really dying. I shook my head to get the pictures out of my head, I walked to one of the couches in the living room and sat down quietly. I was playing with my hands waiting for my parents to come back because I had nothing to do, the house was huge but I couldn't see any other people around, it was completely quiet. I was feeling lazy because I am not used to sitting at one place doing nothing, I am slowly laid down on the couch curling myself and falling asleep once again.

I woke up feeling something snap in me and I felt pain in my chest. I sat up looking around, it must have been a few hours since mom and dad went inside the meeting room and looks like they haven't come out till now. The pain in my chest increased and I was not able to understand why I was feeling so much pain. My eyes filled with tears and I desperately looked in the direction of the meeting room to see if mom and dad had come out but the door was still closed so I decided to link to mom.

'Mom, I don't feel good please come back, I want to go back home' I told mom through our link

'Always remember sweetie, we love you' I heard mom's whisper and my eyes widen at the realization something was wrong with them, but before I could ask what is wrong, I felt a piercing pain in my heart and tears streamed down my eyes as I screamed calling out for my mom and dad, I felt my bond with them break, I felt as if my life has been slipping away from me and then I slowly felt them fading away from me and I cried harder for them before losing my consciousness.
