"I thought Kayla brought me to the nursing chamber, but it was him!" Skyla sighed.
She was sitting on the carpet right next to the furnace to keep herself warm. She had a paper handbag beside her. Her wounds were concocted with an ointment that she found in the paper bag. That ointment was accompanied by a small letter; a letter that clarified who brought Skyla from her school to the nursing chamber. It was Prof. Thomas.
Skyla went on to read his letter.
Hello Skyla!
I am so sorry for the violence and torcher inflicted on you. I wish I could stop it, stop those rascals from bullying you, but you see I can't do much about it! I don't have any control. In fact, I am being controlled.
Skyla's dry eyes soon accommodated some tears. She could absolutely feel what he had written. She cleared the tears and sniffed as she continued with the letter.
You are badly thrashed by them. So, I thought it was the best thing to send you to the nursing chamber. I hope they treat you well! I hope you find the ointment I have sent you! Believe me, it will do miracles to restore your skin. It might burn a little in the beginning, but later on, you will feel much better, so do apply it!
Skyla's lips curled up a bit and she said, "Yes, it's working well! My swelling has reduced considerably!"
Skyla, I know you might be tense and frustrated for not being able to appear for the exam, but that is completely fine! All that should be your concern at the moment is your health! The exam can be given next year too!
Skyla couldn't hold back her tears and sobbed, "I don't even know if I will be alive or not by next year!" Her eyes continued reading the letter.
Skyla, I appreciate your hard work, and determination to get free and independent through this entrance exam, but I feel you should have a backup ready. Something that will speed you up to achieve your goal. I know you might feel weird when you read what I have to say, but I believe I should put it out to you! It's crucial!
Skyla's hold over the letter tightened, preparing herself to read what important thing Prof. Thomas was pointing out.
Skyla, you are 22 already. It's time for you to not only concentrate on your studies but also find a mate for yourself! You might be wondering how MATE came all of a sudden! It didn't come suddenly; it was already there! It's time to open your eyes and search for your mate! Believe me, once you get your mate, you will get exceptional strength, seamless love and care, and everything that will help you progress!
Skyla laughed off gloomily and said, "Mate?! MATE?" Her laugh got replaced by a solemn tone, "Destiny has always made sure to give me the worst! My life is not about blossoming, but withering. I
feel from the previous day itself, my fate, THE GREAT MOON GODDESS cooks trouble for me that would be served on the next day!"
Her voice started breaking and she sniffed, "At times I feel, Moon Goddess might not have created a mate for me! After all, I am the unluckiest! What if I am mateless?"
She continued, "As far as I know, each werewolf is gifted with his mate on his eighteenth birthday! I am 22, but still no sign of a mate! I am sure I am mateless!"
Wiping off the tears drenching the letter, she read the remaining.
Moon Goddess has a mate for everyone. I am sure she has one for you too! Nobody likes to receive their mates late and so would you be feeling like. But believe me, you are lucky to have yours late!
All your life you have been toiling in your pack. I know you might not have taken a step out of your pack territory. It's a fact that the eighteenth birthday means the arrival of one's mate! If any of your pack members would have been your mate, you would get to him now on your eighteenth birthday, but you didn't! So, that means your mate is from the territory outside. You are unlucky to have all your pack members as your enemies, but you are lucky to have your mate from a foreign pack. He will protect you from all the evil and free you from the Red Moon Pack's shackles!
So, it's time for you to step out of your territory. I know it's not easy, those rascals won't allow you, but I know your zeal for freedom will definitely help you to break the boundaries and search for your mate! Have faith in the Moon Goddess. I am praying to her that you get your mate soon!
~ Prof. Thomas
Skyla's lips curled into a smile. Her lips fell apart and she grinned. For the very first time in so many years, she was feeling this ecstatic. All her life she had been beaten up for no reason and today was the worst of all. The examination that she was preparing for, for so many years to land in her favorite Isle University was a failure. She couldn't even attempt the paper. On top of that, being bullied by her own crush broke her heart into pieces. She thought it was going to be the end of her life. Her hope of living independently got extinguished and so did her body's strength. However, Prof. Thomas' letter did a miracle that made her forget all the bad happenings. She was no longer feeling heartbroken or physically weak but she was elated, elated to know that there was one door that was to be opened to let the light eat away all the darkness and that door was HER MATE!
She kissed the letter and thanked Prof. Thomas for giving her a logical, warm hope.
Looking out of the window, her eyes reached the Moon Goddess and she said, thrilled, "Have you sent a mate for me, Moon Goddess?" Her eyes traced back to the letter and she said gleamingly, "I hope your words are true, Prof. Thomas!"
"What's the secret of Alpha John and his family that the Crystal Blue Pack are exploiting mercilessly?" Kayla thought while she had her ear glued to the door to listen to their conversation going on inside.Kayla couldn't derive much from whatever she was hearing as she was not acquainted with the topic. The more deeper they ran into the conversation, the more questions would pop in Kayla's head. She was eager to know what was the secret. She asked in her mind, "What is the secret that our pack has to pay monthly allowance which if not paid could lead to a war."Oh my God! What's brewing? Alpha John has a secret, a secret that can put an end to his rule or should I say not only his rule but existence too! I thought the prince is the holy one, but it seems like he is sinful just like the Red Moon Pack!"RING RING!Kayla was like a cat on hot bricks when all of a sudden the silence enveloping in the emergency chamber got broken by her ringing phone that alerted the werewolves inside th
Skyla's breath intensified as she was breathing through her mouth hung open. She was scared that Max was here for having his hands over her body, just like Matt did that morning. A seamless stream of tears emerged from her eyes. She tried to move back, but stopped when Max shouted, "Take it off, or I will rip it off!"In just one giant step, Max got close to Skyla, his body towering over her. Skyla got scared by that sudden move and she crossed her arms protecting herself. Max was perplexed seeing that. He threw his head back and laughed out loud before speaking, "What?! Haha! Do you really think so I am here to f*ck you?" He snapped his fingers and said, "In just one wink, I can have any she-wolf in my bed! I don't chase them, I just bait them! Following me like a puppy is their job!"He grabbed her chin and pinched it as he laughed off, "Don't think so highly of yourself that you will be screwed by the great Alpha Max!" Pushing her away, he dusted his hands and said, "You have go
The dining chamber was no longer filled with the werewolves chatting. The only sounds that echoed in the dining chamber were that of the werewolf servants' clicking shoes that were moving to and fro cleaning the dining tables and the sound of dishes and bowls gathered together by them in a pile and taken to the kitchen for a wash. Everyone had departed to their chambers. Kayla walked up the staircase and turned to the left wing. Her steps were slow as her mind was rushing with one thought, "What is Whitney's mind up to? Why is she coming to my chamber?"Whitney had surely visited the left wing, but had entered in only one chamber and that was Skyla's to assault and abuse her. Kayla prayed, "I hope that's not the purpose for Whitney to show up in my chamber!"Her mind stopped and so did her steps. Her eyes got wide on seeing her sister drenched in water standing on the balcony with a trembling body and chattering teeth. Whitney's heart wrenched on seeing her like that and she mumbled,
Kayla walked outside her chamber. Her eyes glanced at Skyla and she said to herself worried, "I am scared that they have started to turn my life into a hell like Skyla's. Never did anyone ask me to serve in the dining chamber or go and make some hot chocolate in the kitchen! I hope nothing goes beyond this!" She reached the kitchen and her eyes caught her swelling foot. She cursed, "Damn! Thinking about Skyla, I just forgot that I need to apply some ointment on this swelling!" Her face grew small and she said in a cranky tone, "Uh, my beautiful foot!"After making a delicious hot chocolate drink, Kayla placed the glass and spoon on the tray and walked back to her chamber. She forwarded the tray to Whitney who was sitting with crossed legs and said politely, "Here's your hot chocolate, Miss Whitney!"Alice butt in. Grabbing the hot chocolate and dipping the spoon in the glass, she said, "Miss Whitney is very particular about what she drinks and eats!" Turning to Whitney, she said, "L
Kayla looked out of the window where she saw her trembling sister. She said, frustrated, "I wasn't able to hit you and this is all that I have to face!" Tears of bitterness were not ready to stop flowing from her eyes. She shifted her gaze from the window to the floor with splintered glass pieces. She grabbed a small bucket and started collecting the glass pieces. In her rage, one glass piece slit her finger and she oozed in pain, "Ouch!" Blood started pouring out and she kept the bucket on the floor and stood up. She closed her eyes and supplied herself with some calming words, "Anger won't help you get out of this situation, Kayla! Calm down!" She took slow steps towards the mirror and said, "I won't give up that easily! I will make my space, build an elite image again! Getting into Whitney's gang is of utmost importance to get respect and a luxurious lifestyle!" Her gaze shifted to the pack of cards on the dressing table. She recollected Lucy and Whitney's conversation. She mum
"What the heck is she doing here?!" Whitney hissed. She went ahead to throw her out of the chamber, but Max held her arm and pulled her. He said, "She says she has a solution to this issue!" Prince Harrington said, "So, what's the solution?" Kayla turned her head from the brother-sister duo to the mighty prince. Her eyes went wide and her lips fell apart on seeing his brawny, tall body. She was smitten by his burly figure and handsome face. It was her very first time seeing the prince. She had never seen the prince in real life. All the while she had heard from the right wing werewolves who had the opportunity to visit on various occasions outside the pack that the prince was a handsome werewolf. Some of the she-wolves would not get tired of showering accolades on him. Kayla could feel her cheeks burning red. She tried to suppress her blushing and said, "Skyla!" Luna was shocked. She said, enraged, "Skyla, who is the problem herself is the solution? Are you in your senses, omega
As everyone was smiling at each other as they finally arrived at the solution, Alpha John intervened, "A… actually!!" Hardly had he begun that all of them toppled their heads toward Alpha John, their eyes glued to him. He cleared his throat before speaking. "Actually, I was telling that we do have other she-wolves to carry this job! I am sure we have other weak she-wolves to fulfil this mission!" Kayla and Max frowned on seeing Alpha John against their decision. Kayla badly wanted to intervene but she knew she couldn't, so she cursed in her mind, "Why the heck is he so fussy about my solution? It's just Skyla not his daughter Whitney who would be bedding the Alpha of the Crystal Blue Pack."Max shook his head in protest and said in his throaty voice with a hint of scowl in it, "Dad, why are we being so concerned about Skyla? What's so special about her?"Inhaling deeply, he continued, "She is just a filthy omega! You are the one who told me her parents were traitors. She is their pu
After half an hour, the bathroom door opened and Skyla stepped out. Her body draped in a white bathrobe and a white towel bundling her washed hair together. Kayla rose from the bed and quickly grabbed Skyla's hands and made her sit in front of the dressing table. Skyla said, "Sister! Can you get my clothes from my chamber?" Kayla took off the towel wrapping her hair and said, "Skyla! You won't be wearing those used, old clothes! But my brand new dress!" Skyla smiled and asked the same question she asked before departing to the bathroom. Kayla said, "I will tell everything! First you need to get ready!" Blow drying her hair, Kayla's eyes fell on the wall clock and she increased her hands' speed that were busy drying Skyla's hair. Skyla said, "Okay, now I need to change!" She rose from the dressing chair halfway, but Kayla pushed her on it again and said, vexed a bit, "Skyla, not yet! Let me put on some makeup and hide these bruises and bumps!" Skyla's mind was simmering with vari
