LOGINFar beyond the forest. Loud drums echoed through the silent night mixing with the wind as if it were one, trees swinging side by side dancing to the rhythm of the drums. A visitor would think it was a mere celebration, a tradition causing freedom and happiness but it was far beyond that. Under the gaze of the moon far beyond the gates of alverda, a tribe gathers, eating, drinking, celebrating, and sinning. Bodies tangled up, as hot breathe danced on the skin of this sinners, their sweats glittering under the lights of the room " one of the girls moaned as she forcefully detached her lips from the man's mouth "I want to go there" she groaned. Her partners gaze followed sighting a dark dimly lit canopy If you wish for death I wish you luck" he chuckled lifting her to her feet as he claimed her lips again At that same enclosed canopy, around a circular stone table sat 14 elders of the nighfiel clan, their blood red eyes reflecting the flames that danced around the canopy wall
Melrik sat at the edge of the bed, jaw tightening as linen was wrapped tightly around his biceps. His muscle twitched slightly in Gerrard's hands blood seeping through the cloth despite the layers of linen used. It's deep" Gerrard said calmly, "it's quite shocking Melrik exhaled through his nose, staring blankly into thin air. Different thoughts and questions running through his mind "She survived" Melrik's gaze lifted "She was found besides you" Gerrard added. "Alive. Barely. You were already in your human form. Both of you unconscious." Silence drowned the room for some minutes "How long?" Melrik asked "Half a day" Melrik leaned back, eyes darkening "I can't recall anything" Melrik muttered Gerrard stared at him tying the final round of linen before standing up "Where's she" Melrik asked standing up "She's with Evrylda"Gerrard replied. "she's severely injured when we found her. Your claws scarred her face ....brutally" Summon..... Your Majesty" A guard b
****A DAY EARLIER**** Arwenna woke up to the sound of water. Cold seeped into her skin. She felt, uncomfortable and naked. Her eyes fluttered open slowly A sharp headache struck her like a tornado, she tried lifting her hand, but they wouldn't budge. Panic flared as she turned her head and saw her hands chained to the wall Her eyes widened Memory came crashing back she was laid unprotected in the shallow water, bare and exposed with petals and herbs floating around her skin in sickening contrast Arwenna scanned the room, it was dark, unwelcoming and creepy. Almost reminded her of a particular place Soon, she heard footsteps loud, drawing nearer She tried screaming for help but nothing came out Her voice gone leaving just a little whimper, she thrashed and thrashed with the water overflowing to the sides quenching some candles lying on the ground. Finally she gave up weak and tired, her lips turning blue as her skin started turning white like that of a corpse Voices thun
THREE DAYS LATER Arwenna was dragged into the room and thrown down like a piece of trash. she scrambled to her feet and lunged at the guards again, but they flung her aside with brutal Force. Her body slammed into the coal plate behind her. It toppled scorching her skin as burning embers spilled over her back . The pain earned a scream from her throat as she collapsed clutching herself, her body trembling The Guards stared at her blankly, Unmoved. Arwenna lifted her head sharply. Her eyes burned bloody red-- Feral, Murderous. if looks could kill, they would already be dead. She locked eyes with them Fists clenched, breath coming out slow and controlled as she fought the rage burning within her Minutes later, Tula Strode in Dissatisfaction etched across his face, he looked Arwenna over from head to toe before hissing softly, turning towards the guards he smirked "Bind her, word came from the Palace" Tula said. "She'll be used for something....much better" What do you mean--
•••• 𝗔𝗟𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗗𝗔 𝗪𝗢𝗟𝗙 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗡 ••••• 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗥𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘: Court room The Council chamber was silent --- Too silent. The ministers exchanged uneasy glances, silently urging one another to speak yet none dared break the stillness Alpha Melrik Vorthen sat calmly upon his throne, one hand supporting his jaw while the other rested on his armrest. His eyes remained closed as though he were meditating yet no one believed he truly was None of the Ministers spoke. One misplaced word will earn a death sentence not a single soul can escape The Court Door flung open. "Report" a fat grinning man who was the Clan's scribe walked nervously towards the center of the room Your Majesty, " he began eagerly his shoulders raised in pride. "I am glad to report that the Mate Match Ceremony was successful. Two hundred wolves within our clan were bonded, and over eighty were mated to wolves from allied clans" Alpha Melrik opened his eyes slowly scanning the man with his eye
Mate!!! A deep, dark growl echoed in my ear. I spun around, my eyes widening, completely surprised as tears clouded my vision. I didn't expect it; I had lost hope. I thought today wasn't for me, but I was given a chance when my eyes landed on the handsome looking guy staring at me like I was his prey, licking his lips. It was Reade Schweitzer, the town leader's son. Soon enough, he started running towards me; in return, I also started running, grinning like my life depended on it. We were almost an inch closer when I was shoved aside. I looked up in confusion, but my eyes dimmed immediately as I saw the one I called mate smooching another lady. I was wrong, he wasn't mine... he was never mine. I didn't feel the spark, the happiness, and the togetherness that comes with it.
