Esmeralda
"Get in, will you?!"
I jumped in fright, holding my chest with my frail hand as the guard on duty yelled at me, indicating that I should enter the cell once again. My cold dark cell.
My blood rippled at the thought of losing my freedom because I was weak, I couldn't shift to activate my super speed. My speed was no match for him as he caught me effortlessly. My screams, wails and kicks had no effects on him as he dragged me to the cell.
A glare from his ugly scarred face sent shivers down my spine, making me look away in fear almost immediately, biting my fingers nervously. Those ugly sharp eyes that shot daggers at me, piercing through my soul, threatening to make me pee in my pants. If looks could kill, I would be dead.
With shaky knees, I stood at the entrance of my cell with my hand still clutched tightly to my chest as if to protect it from him. Torn between two options, I flickered gaze from the murky cell that was impossible to get a glimpse of the whiteness of one's tooth to the room I dreaded the most, the correction room.
My gaze swept past the first few rooms and landed on a door that was made with heavy iron bars, while some iron ran vertically, some ran horizontally on it, just like the bars at the entrance of my cell.
Big, thick, rusted, ice-cold bars.
I shivered at the thought of the rusted, cold iron bars coming in contact with my skin. I took two steps away from the iron door at the entrance of my cell. It was like I could feel its impact already.
A huge wooden slate hung at the top of the iron bars, wired firmly to it. 'Correction room' was spelt on the slate, inscribed boldly on it. The right name should be punishment room or the room of torture. Correction room was way too fancy for it.
I swallowed the lump in my throat as I made a mental picture of the interiors of the room.
No!
I didn't want to be there, not after encountering the horrors in that room. But I knew if I wasted more time, I would be in there, screaming in pain, gnashing my teeth in regret. Garry would waste no time shutting me behind the heavy bars of the correction room, my screams were like music to his ears. He hated my guts, I wish I knew why.
"Don't make me repeat myself," He said in a dangerously low voice.
Think! Think fast!
I said to myself, as my mind raced across many thoughts. I knew he was running out of patience and I knew what came after it.
Punishment!
As much as I dreaded the correction room, I didn't want to be in my cell. I was sick of being shackled from head to toe, sleeping in an uncomfortable position as the heavy chains clung to me like a second skin.
Think!
But I couldn't think, it was as if the presence of my cell and the correction room was suffocating me. I couldn't go to my cell and the correction room was a no-go area for me either. As much as I didn't want to be punished, I didn't want to be engulfed in total darkness, overwhelmed by my unending nightmares either.
I needed help, I needed to be free from unending pain and torture, I needed illumination and freedom like the rest of the members of the pack.
Was that too much to ask?
It was not my fault that I was an omega, the name that the rest of the pack had called me. But I knew I was not. I remembered my dad telling me how powerful I was, but it was useless because I couldn't see any power manifesting. I almost thought my father was lying to me but I knew he wasn't the type that tellstell lies.
I summoned all the courage I had left in me, clearing my dry throat as I found my voice, "Please, can you help me fix the light in my cell?" My voice came out weaker than expected.
One look from him almost made me pee in my pants, this time, I wrapped my hands around my small frame as if protecting myself from him.
"What I mean is, can I get another cell? A more comfortable one," I looked away from him, looking at my cell, "I don't like it here anymore,"
I closed my eyes and bit my trembling lips, hoping for a positive reply, but he didn't make a sound. It was as if I was invincible and he couldn't hear me. We stood staring at my cell for another irritating minute, I was scared but I knew I had to speak up.
"Uhm, sir..." I reluctantly tried to get his attention again but he didn't let me finish talking before he yanked my hair hard, dragging me away from my cell as I screamed in pain, trying to rescue my hair from his strong grip.
It was a useless fight as my strength wasn't match for his and I could feel the strands of my hair pulling from my scalp.
I kept crying and screaming in pain as he threw me against the hard wall, making me fall to my knees immediately.
"Say what Garry, this thing ordered me to change her cell," He let out a burst of deafening laughter, trying to get the attention of the second guard on duty, Garry.
"She said she doesn't like it in there anymore," He leaned on a door for support as he let out a burst of more deafening and annoying laughter, making me stop crying for a minute.
What was funny?
"The guts!" Garry's angry voice resonated throughout the room, seizing my breath. I couldn't see him as the room was dark but I could tell that he was close and he was pissed by my actions.
"She even tried to run away,"
This time, his voice was deadly and I knew he wasn't going to take it easy on me.
I knew I needed to defend myself, else, Garry would deal with me mercilessly. I didn't know why the guard left me at Garry's mercy knowing Garry hated me with passion. He hated me just like the rest of the pack hated me, for no reason.
"I swear by the moon goddess, I didn't order him, I pleaded with him. Please believe me.." I pleaded, wiping the tears on my face with trembling hands as I glanced around the dimly lit room, checking for Garry.
"So he is lying?" He let out an angry growl, causing me to jump in fear. I knew I was in deep shit and nobody could save me.
"I didn't say that, I was just pleading with him, not ordering him," I replied sharply, regretting my words immediately as I realized that I had fallen into Garry's trap. I shouldn't have answered his question, that made him dangerously angry.
A heavy slap landed on my cheeks, causing my ears to ring violently. I bit my lips, trying not to let out a sound as I was close to tears.
"You'll learn," Garry growled, looking at me with raw hatred, "Take her to the punishment room," He pronounced my judgment, walking away immediately, making me wish for death instead.
We've met our femal lead, guys. What do you think about her? Your comments are appreciated.
Chapter threeEsmeralda"No! Please," I cried, clinging to his leg as he dragged me into the correction room with a firm grip on my hair. I kept my gaze locked on his face, hoping he would see how remorseful I was and reverse his judgement but his eyes were solely fixed on the door of the room with a sinister look plastered on his face.I was done, I knew it. Hiding quickly in my spot to delay my punishment, I glanced around the familiar room with teary eyes to see Garry walking toward a shelf. The shelf contained a lot of instruments of torture, to break people that broke the rules. People like me. I watched Garry patiently like a hawk watching its prey as he selected some instruments that he would use in torturing me. But he suddenly stopped, moving away from the shelf with transparent glass to the whips displayed on the wall. I watched as his hands carefully selected the horsewhip. The horsewhip! The whip I dreaded most! "No! Please, don't use that on me," I screamed immedia
Chapter fourKadeI shut my eyes, slowly tapping my fingers on my thigh, clenching my chiselled jaws as I tried to contain my rage while receiving information from my Beta via mind-link. A bastard was caught snooping around the pack borders! How unlucky he was. Successfully Submerging my furious wolf who kept whining and growling in my head, I quickly mind-linked my beta to send him into the dungeon where I was. Where my captives were taken care of. I took a long drag on my tobacco, feeling the gush of adrenaline throughout my body that charged me with pleasure and vigour. "Ahhh," I exhaled slowly, puffing out the smoke in the air with my eyes tight shut. I relished the feeling and at once I was excited. Excited to execute, to cause a massacre, to wreak havoc. The swinging and slamming of the door broke my euphoria, causing my eyes to open at once. A small smile broke on my lips as I smelt my Beta fast approaching. He was the only one that could barge into my space without gett
Chapter 5Kade "Remind me where we are going and what our next agenda is," I rubbed my palms in anticipation as I got out of the inner chambers of the dungeon, glancing at Silvius who tried to keep up with my pace. "We are..." Silvius' voice trailed as he brought out an iPad, squinting his eyes a little to read the content displayed on its screen. "Let me guess," I raised my finger, interrupting him, "We have a meeting with the Alpha of the Night Walker pack," I sighed, "That bastard," "No, Alpha. You are supposed to be at the Moon ball ceremony of the Crescent Moon pack and it is themed Romance,""How? The ceremony is supposed to be tomorrow, not today. Today is Friday," I stated, getting a little irritated at the mix-up. "You are wrong, Alpha. Today is Saturday, not Friday. The meeting with the Alpha of the Night Walker pack was fixed for tomorrow and the Moon ball ceremony is today and if you don't hurry, you will be late," Silvius stated proudly, indirectly reminding me that
Chapter sixEsmeraldaLast night, I had walked into my cell feeling dejected, but this morning, I walked out of my cell the happiest person, causing confused eyes to turn in my direction, wondering the reason for my sudden happiness. The Moon ball was today! Forgetting my terrible backaches, I bounced out of my cell to the hall and collected the cleaning equipment from a senior servant who stood by the hallway with an unimpressed expression on her face. "Good morning, ma'am," I greeted with the widest smile, expecting the same from her but she welcomed me with the most disgusting expression and dismissed me almost immediately.I didn't let that get to me as I hurriedly collected the cleaning equipment from her and followed an older wolf who was followed by other pups. He was in charge of cleaning the hall that will be used for the Moon ball and he had other pups to assist him but more hands were needed as we were expecting lots of wolves from numerous packs, making them choose a fe
KadeI stood with a horrid expression for another second, pinching myself to clear my doubt whether I was still dreaming or it was reality. But it turned out to be a freaking reality. I maintained a decent distance from her, watching her keenly as she submitted to me. While she stood a mere 5'8, I towered her in height greatly at a whopping 6'4, making me have a good view of her from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet. I couldn't help but notice how her small figure trembled greatly as my aura blasted her, making her lean on the canopy stand for support. Weak.I noticed her shivering as the shabby long sleeve dress she wore wasn't doing justice to her, exposing her pale skin to cold as her tiny fingers hugged her slim waist that was hidden in her floral gown. Her odd-looking dirty wavy strawberry hair that rested on her wide hips spiked my curiosity as I stared at it strangely. It was rare for a wolf to have strawberry-coloured hair. Who was she? The more my piercing ga
Ph***eI stood erect as my hands made their way to the markings of the wall, carefully rewriting an almost erasing line that ran vertically. With my inside raging in anger, I slashed a horizontal line against the four vertical lines before I placed both hands on my head, screaming my lungs out and destroying everything within my reach.I took two steps away from the wall that I had marred with tally marks while counting the number of the days I had spent in the past since there were no calendars and tally marks were the only method I could adopt in order not to lose count of the number of days I had spent. I needed to leave this place as I was already sick of it and the mere thought of spending my forever here makes me wish for death instead. But I had to come to the reality that there was no way I could leave the past, not when the portal to the present world had been sealed shut by a group of powerful witches. No one in the world could open the portal, not even a sorcerer... except
EsmeraldaI let my gaze get lost in those oval shaped green eyes of his. Gem-stone green eyes that pierced through me as if trying to read me. At once, they darkened as I could feel his wolf wanting to take over. Those cold, strange, ruthless eyes that were fixed on me suddenly melted as they were replaced with softness and curiosity. I knew what he was thinking without him saying it. His eyes roamed my dried, tangled strawberry coloured hair with questions on his mind. It was rare for a wolf to have strawberry coloured hair. I was grateful that he didn't ask me how I possessed such weird hair colour because I didn't know how. Once, my father told me that every firstborn of the Harper family possessed certain powers and the confirmation of such powers was having a strawberry coloured hair. I froze the moment I felt his curious gaze land on my body, looking at me from head to toe, like I was on display. I quietly hugged my small frame feeling ashamed of my appearance. As if my arid h
KadeI froze in my tracks the moment she threw herself on the ground and grabbed my boot, pleading with me not to reject her. Bold of her. So bold of her to think that I was going to change my mind because of her actions. Begging was irritating and it made me more ruthless. I fought the urge to toss her aside as her slender hands brought dirt to my sparkling black boot. I closed my eyes, as my mind wandered to the past, remembering the torture sessions I passed through because I begged. "Ahh!" I screamed in anguish as the horsewhip landed on my naked body that dripped sweat and blood. I shook the table in an attempt to escape but I was already trapped in it, as my body was tied firmly to it. "Please, stop beating me, it hurts," I pleaded, hoping my father would harken to my voice and withdraw the whip but he proved me wrong by lashing me three more times."Stop begging, Arcade!" His mean voice vibrated throughout the room, making me want to run away cowardly into a hole like a ra
