Rising From The Ashes

If there was a way to make my nineteenth birthday memorable, then it must be this moment.My birthday cake is beautifully decorated and kept on the table in front of me.My mother sat opposite me on the chair, nervousness clearly shimmering in her eyes as she flash me a smile that lacks it's usual shine.My father stood against the kitchen counter with clenched fist.The angry lines on his face gave away the hatred he has for this very moment.The tension was thick in the air.I didn't know how to replace it with the usual silly environment."The candles are melting" Mom's low voice was like a soft caress to my ears."So is the chocolate"I flinched when Dad spoke.The harshness of his voice covered us with more thick tension."I'm sorry" He sighed, looking guilty.I don't blame him.No parent would be calm when their daughter's doing a deed in the house and the noises are way too loud to even avoid it."It's oka—My voice was overlapped by a familiar scream of my best friend followed by the

Humming a song to myself, I waited patiently in the Hall with Dad outside the Alpha's Office.Since I have completed High school, Dad suggested that I go University.I spent two weeks figuring out things before finally filling an application form.All I need is Alpha's permission to apply because heading to Human Realm was a big deal.The door opened and two men emerged from it, a wide grin on their faces as they walked until their eyes fell on us.Or to be precise on me."Unmated she-wolf" The taller one whispered, stuffing his hands into his pockets.He was nice looking, I would give him that but he was part of those typical egoistic men I dislike with a passion."A young pretty woman like you shouldn't be single—My Dad shifted himself away from the wall and stepped in between us before that man could come near me."Henry, don't hide her.You are aware of our Pack's situation.Fertile females are very rare and it's a necessity to breed the ones who are of age, she will have to be shared

I howl in agonizing pain when his sharp canines dig into my fur and a piece of my skin was chucked out.I thrash around in an attempt to free myself but to no avail.Another scream in the distance cringed my insides in fear.The voice belonged to Amia.I growl and bite the wolf on his head and with whatever strength I could muster, I throw him away.However he doesn't fall far than a couple of inches.I quickly got up on my four in order to run in the direction of Amia's audible screams but when stinging pain shot through my back, I move around to snarl at the wolf only to feel his canines pierce into my skin again.The pain so intense that my vision blurred with tears.I feel a heavy weight on my back which forces me down harshly on the muddy ground."Take her as well" A rough manly voice ripped through the air.My eyes darted up to the man who stood a couple of steps away.His skin was painted with countless scars, a long visible one starts from his cheek down to the neck.The menacing look

"Sweety you know that she doesn't have any other option" Mom said, caressing her hair."I know Mom.. I know.Its just.. I have been with Nikona for more than three years.I might have dated him for my own benefits but I can't avoid the way I have started to feel for him.He is not just an object for my safety anymore.He is important to me.I care for him..I might even love him at this point..I didn't realised it before but when at the Ball, He hugged Elysia.. The way he looked at her..I don't like it.Even during the rogue attack.He approached her not me and did you not see how he didn't even say a hello or ask whether I was fine instead walked in the room to see Elysia..Mom he.. he had her cornered while she was naked..How can I not worry? How can I not feel pain?" She cried out."I can't even blame Elysia..I know her.I love her.I don't know what to do mom.. I am scared he will throw me away once he gets Elysia"I moved away from the kitchen and went back to my room.I thought she didn't

Laying unmoving on the bed, my body numb after his every torture, I stare blankly at the deep purple colored wall.My eyelids too heavy, battling to close but I couldn't.Afraid that he would come back.I am indeed nothing but a weak Omega.One that is not capable of saving her own dignity.One that is born to serve, please and obey the superiors.The door creaks open.I grip the bedsheet tightly, tears brimming back in my eyes.The footsteps were fast then the bed dipped behind me."Elysia" My best friend Amia's soothing voice dissipated the fear, however the pain and hollowness in my chest was too intense to waver under her presence.Her cold fingers grazed against my cheek as she moved the hair off my face.A gasp escaped her lips.Nikona had gripped my face so hard that his claws pierced deep through my skin, leaving blood in its woke.It didn't heal without my wolf and might leave a deep scar.A print of his unwanted claim on me.A reminder of my weakness."What had he done?" She whispered
