Chapter 3: Red And White

Ara’s POV

I was no longer scared of what might happen to me. I was disgusted by their acts.

I wanted to pull their eyes out and pierce their hearts with my sword. Unfortunately, I was no longer the leader I once was.

I had no power and a pack. I was simply a no-name slave. And yet I still wanted to leave a mark.

“You have gone too far. This really what Apex hunt is about!” I yelled, drawing everyone’s attention.

“You monsters don’t know anything about hunting. Hunters don’t just hunt anything that crosses their path.

They wait and explore their surroundings while being careful. They give their all to every catch and every battle won.

You are making a mockery of their legacy and disguising it as an Apex Hunt.

Don’t make me laugh! “ I voiced out. My voice was firm and confident.

I deemed it necessary to remind them of what the true Apex Hunt meant. My father used to tell me stories of the past.

A take about strong packs protecting the small and weak packs. This wasn’t part of the story.

“Daughter of the late Alpha Voldine. You speak of things that are of ancient times. A time you didn’t exist.

Your confidence is remarkable. You deserve a price. Don’t you agree!” he called out to the audience and they applauded and cheered.

I felt a sickening feeling in my stomach. Something was about to happen. My worst nightmare.

“Kill them all!” The announcer commanded.

Suddenly armored men with their swords charged at the slaves in the arena.

Slicing them into pieces. Their blood spread across the arena.

My eyes widened in horror. What have I done?

“You always put everything you love in danger. You destroy everything you touch” a voice echoed in my ears.

I fell on my knees as I watched them scream and run for their lives. I couldn’t move my body.

I wanted so badly to help them but I just couldn’t move.

I glanced at the audience. They weren’t disgusted or sad, instead, they enjoyed the scene unfolding before them.

“Kill them all!!!!” The audience cheered on.

In a few minutes later everyone was dead, and it was all because of me.

“How did you enjoy the show, Red” The announcer glanced at me with a smile.

I could only stare blankly at him.

“Well since all of our slaves are gone. I can’t just let our buyers go empty-handed. So why don’t you entertain them still morning? What do you say Red”

I could hardly hear what he was saying. I was losing consciousness. My body was weak.

I feared my heat cycle was here. I fell to the ground.

“Oh, look at that. Our heroine just fainted. I hope my buyers enjoy her as much as we did” the announcer sarcastically said with an evil grin.

Brago was delighted with what the announcer said. He stood up, ready to have Ara for himself.

The armored men started sniffing. “What is that?”

“I don’t know. An omega?”

“But there is omega around”

They turned their attention towards Ara who was still unconscious.

The buyers in the audience stood up. They made their way down to the arena. Brago, the leader of the black moon pack, wasn’t ready to share Ara with anyone.

But before he could make any move. Someone stood behind him. His auto emits a great deal of power.

“Enough!” a deep and husky voice echoed. Shook the arena and silenced everyone.

“I am bored. This was truly a waste of my precious time. Oh, well not everything was boring,” he glanced at where Ara was.

He sniffed. “She is mine and mine alone” he declared and made his way down the arena.

Silence filled the atmosphere. Only his footsteps could be heard.

Other leaders were furious and jealous. But no one dared to speak back. They watched on as he drew closer to Ara and the armored men surrounding her.

And just as he got closer, he pulled out his sword and sliced off the heads of all the armored men surrounding Ara in a few seconds.

Everyone was startled by his action. Their eyes widened and fear erupted in their body.

Brago thought he could argue with him, and paused his steps. He believed it was wise to stand back.

“I finally found you,” the man said as he carried Ara in his arms.

“Faustus, Faise” he called his giants.

They followed him as soon as he called. Everyone could only watch as he left the arena.

“The prophecy is here. Red and white,” an old woman's eyes turned dark as she revealed,”

The announcer turns d towards the old woman. “Raven, Raven!” he raised his voice.

“The prophecy is here. Red and white. The end of our world.”

“What is that old hag talking about?!”Brago yelled angrily.

He was still upset about what had happened. “She is talking about the prophecy that was once told by our ancestors” the announcer explained.

“A prophecy, what kind?” Ria, a dormant Alpha and leader of the Iron Night pack asked.

“A prophecy about the end of our world and the beginning of theirs,” the announcer answered.

“What are you talking about Raul?”

“The prophecy is here. Red and white” the old woman repeated.

“Can someone shut this old woman’s mouth” Brago ordered.

“Brago, do not take this prophecy lightly. I remember vividly about my father’s tales. The Red Sea meets with the White Sea and becomes one,”

Niago scoffed. “Sebastian Knight always leaves a mark wherever he goes. It’s not a prophecy, it’s just how he is. Born with the moon goddess's blessings.

A super dormant Alpha who can not only control alphas but surpass every werewolf out there.

He is truly a masterpiece,” he said.

“Why do I get the feeling you were rather praising him instead of speaking dirty about him,” Brago annoyedly said to Niago and shot him a glare.

“Do not fret. The prophecy was just a bedtime story told to scare little boys and girls who wouldn’t go to sleep after having breast milk” Lucrah, a semi-super dormant Alpha and the leader of the Oracle night pack suddenly appeared.

“Lucrah!” Ria excitedly called. “Did you see what happened?” Raul asked.

“Yes, I did. It was bound to happen anyways”

“Huh!” They all exclaimed.

“They may be connected more than they know it,” he said.

Lucrah turned towards the old woman who was being dragged by two men.

“Stop” he ordered. He drew closer to the old woman and slit her throat. The two men watched in horror. The body tensed.

“Disposed of her body” he ordered.

“W-why did you do that, Lucrah?” Niago asked in a trembling voice.

“Because she wasn’t supposed to speak. Those who betray the oracle face the wrath of the almighty,” he announced. His eyes filled with rage and resentment.
