Chapter 2

 “Where are you taking me?” I whimpered as the huge wolf carried me on its shoulders.

            The path is dark. I cannot see clearly. But this white wolf, which is walking on its two feet, seems to know the path like no one else. It walks like it’s some sort of a man rather than an animal. In fact, it breathes and acts as if it's not an animal at all.

            The wolf had been walking through this forest for a couple of minutes now. It was silent in here, like the grave. Is it going to bury me alive in the middle of this dark, gloomy forest? Too bad I didn’t scream when it took me from the stone table. But what’s the use of screaming anyway? Insects and trees wouldn’t help me get away from this predator. I doubt they can even recognize my scream as a shout for help.

Heaven knows where this is, until it halted. I tried to move my head to see what’s in front of us that made it stop. Luckily, it turned me around and I can see a huge rocky wall that extends to nowhere. It seems to be a divider between this forest and whatever place is beyond that wall.

            And, despite carrying me on its shoulders, it managed to move the stone that blocks the entrance in just one hand. It turned around again in less than twenty seconds. Is it some sort of a mutant? Wolverine maybe?

            ‘Is he an alien or something?’ I whispered to myself. As soon as we entered the cave-like pathway, it then pushed the huge boulder again, blocking the entrance once more and bathing the whole place in absolute darkness.

            I was now facing the path. I prayed to whoever is listening that this is not a bad thing for carrying me in front instead, not in the back. My heart skipped a beat when it clicked its finger (or paws, I don’t know) and a flame was now floating before us.

            “Are you a wizard or something?” The huge white wolf just snorted. 

“So you can understand me, huh?” Silence just answered back at me.

            ‘At least this doggie knows and understands the human tongue,’ I mused.

            We walked for several minutes. Only its footsteps (or pawsteps) reverberated. After speaking some words of wisdom to myself, I finally decided to open my eyes. The floating fire that this wolf summoned earlier greeted me and I saw two huge wolves guarding the entrance by the end of the wall, both standing on their two feet and carrying torches.

            I tried to hide my astonished face but the black wolf smirked at me and gave me a curtsy bow. ‘What the hell?!’ I shrieked in my own mind.

            “Are you guys wolf people? Or perhaps the lost colony of Roanoke?” Those words unexpectedly came out from my mouth.

            “You will soon find out, mortal. And one thing…” The brown wolf winked at my still gaping face, “We’re a pack, not a colony.”

            My throat bobbed. Since when do wolfies and doggies talk? This. Freaking. Brown. Wolf. Just. Talked. 

Gosh, am I in heaven already? I didn’t know that heaven is as dark as this and is packed with talking dogs and wolf-like men. Or perhaps I’m within the ninth circle of hell…

            I can’t. My feet and body wanted to go home. Although I was suddenly aware that I no longer have a home to go to. I don’t mind spending time with homeless people in the homeless’ abode. I just wanted to run away from this creepy, odd, unearthly place.

            My teeth chattered as soon as we came out from the cave-like pathway. It was cold in here, as if all the frigid winds of the mountain had gathered in this place.

            It turned around and the black and brown wolf gave the white wolf, which was carrying me, a signal and a tight nod. Even here, I can see the huge wall that is made up of solid stone that extends from hell knows where. ‘Perhaps this is another marker of the equator or something,’ I wondered.

            It put me down roughly and my body landed on the murky ground. Mud stained his moon-white fur and I smirked and stuck out my tongue. I moved my leg a bit and, because of pain, I almost yelled.

            “Ouch!” I cried in a soft manner. But the wolf’s cerulean eyes just stared at my filthy body. The white dress that the man gave me earlier was now colored in brown mud.

            My whining ceased when a light flashed before my eyes and a white wolf was no longer standing a few inches from my dirty feet.

            The wolf had shifted into a man. A man with a glorious body; his muscles and abs and all of him was perfectly crafted by some god or deity or Great Spirit. His skin was mocha in color, quite identical to the mud that was covering all over me. His hair was bluish black; blue when moonlight drenched him like it was now, and black if the darkness was the only blanket shrouding all over us like that in the forest. His eyes were cerulean blue, I only managed to take a great look now because this whole place has light in every corner, contrary to the forest that we just trekked. And my favorite part is the fact that his skin was the only thing covering his entirety, nothing else.

            My eyes involuntarily slid into the bulging area between his legs. I wonder how long it was, or how hard could it be if I stood naked before him. 

‘Shut up, Elaine! Why are you so hot in front of your abductor?!’ I scolded myself, almost forgetting that I am a ‘sacrifice’ to this creature.

            A malicious grin was plastered on his face. A part of me tried to set aside the fact that I am an offering for the prosperity of the city. I just want to kiss those red, plumpy lips until the dawn breaks.

            Wait, I am an offering and sacrifice. But what kind of sacrifice?

  • Sacrificed to the Alpha   Author's Note

    This is my fucking third book, which took me almost six months to finish. *laughing devilishly* You might be surprised why this has a sad/shocking ending. But I’d like to point out that not all stories end in “happily ever after”. I look forward to expanding the story of Elaine and Tyler. But as long as it does not harbor enough readers, the ending remains as it is. If ever enough readers would demand a sequel or a better love story between Elaine and Tyler, then I shall provide you/them a story that will fulfill happiness and give justice to the characters. I’m sorry if this story ends this way as there are things that made me stop at that point. As a writer with limited resources and is struggling, I commit to my very best to provide you quality and unique stories that will somehow quench your reader taste. To be honest, up until now, I am still learning the world of werewolves and fated mates and stuff. That’s why my n

  • Sacrificed to the Alpha   Alternate Ending: Chapter 4

    Jason’s face crumpled and stared at the wounds on his body. “Don’t you think it’s weird?” “What?” “I’ve been kidnapped, but they treated my wounds.” “Yeah, I agree. What else could be the reason that they were keeping you alive?” Jason scratches his chin and looks at the ceiling seriously. “I don’t know…” He continues, “They’re trying to get something from me.” His jaw locked. We fell in silence. He looked at me again. “Where’s Elaine by the way?” I blushed. “She’s out to get me food.” I lied with a poker face. “Oh,” he nodded, “you’re hungry…” “Yeah. I crave something… sweet.” He fell quiet. “Let’s just wait for her.” Both of us agreed to ‘wait’ for Elaine before we escaped to my white mansion. Elaine has been kidnapped by them, and I woke up in my mansion after that with my brother pounding on the doorstep. However, a blaring sound of an alarm echoed inside, and a monotone and robotic voice spoke on the speaker. “Code 134. Code 134. Code 134. An alien got into the hospita

    I know Rowan is stupid, but I didn’t expect him to be dumber than a street dog. He only had a few back up from his kind, but half of them were now on the floor. People were going crazy inside the restaurant as I stumbled on my table and grabbed Elaine’s wrist to get her out of this place. However, a blonde Hearteater kicked my knees and pounced on Elaine’s face. And my wife was thrown away from my grip. Words have no place in a fight to the death. My vision blurs and I no longer fucking care who I’ll kill. Anyone who tries to intervene me will fucking die. I lunged at Rowan but fainted at the last second. He goes whistling past me. Rowan encircled me first before his hands stretched out to grab me. I leap onto Rowan like a howler monkey. When he throws his hands up into my hair and yanks, bending over and trying to flip me off, I cling for dear life, viciously digging my nails into him as hard as I can, tightening my grip like a freaking boa constrictor. He spins and rushes ba

    Luna Elaine and I got into a fight an hour later after that. I was ready to prepare for a war. I trained my pack like an army, where death sweeps to wherever we fought alongside each other. Those who want to be part of our journey will sign up voluntarily, those who don't want to, they can freely not. I’m not an authoritarian leader, so it’s up to the choice they will make. However, all men signed up. No one backed down. “Elaine…” I sighed, looking at her tucked up in our bed. She’s been like this for the past few days. I was so busy with the pack that I could only check her up in the evening. Tonight, I couldn’t hold the deafening silence between us anymore. “Please, my wife, don’t be like this.” No response was heard a heartbeat later. “Can you just support me?” I heard her muttering a heavy sigh before turning at me. “Why will I support someone who wants to be a killer? You’ll be no different compared to the Hearteaters.” My jaw moved, and I couldn’t help but to look awa

  • Sacrificed to the Alpha   Alternate Ending: Chapter 1 

    Tyler’s POV I thought it will be a peaceful night. We were bombarded with the news circulating in the pack about a pulp who was found dead in the middle of the woods. The guards who were having their nightly rotation immediately reported to the headquarter’s office about the said situation. “We thought it was a human, but it turns out it was one of our pack, Alpha,” Geoffrey, a guard on duty, explained to me. A mixture of jasmine and vanilla filled my nose.I glanced at the far left corner, and there, I saw Elaine’s shadow. Her eyes were telling me that she was worried. Very worried. I quickly went to her and grabbed her arms. “What are you doing here?!” “What do you mean?” She scoffed. “Someone from Stella’s Soul is dead!” “As if it was new to you,” I growled. “That’s why you shouldn’t be here, Elaine. Go back to our mansion!” “Are you kidding me, Tyler?” “No, I am not.” I sighed, my chest felt heavy while my eyes roamed around the place. The guards saw my gesture as a

  • Sacrificed to the Alpha   Chapter 96

    Tyler’s POV The smell of burning flesh flooded the air, choking me in desperation as I watched my wife burn. My wife. My mate. “My Elaine…” ‘You love her?’ Remus asked. I continue to watch flames erupt from her and burn the nearby grass. “Yes,” I muttered loudly. As loud as Elaine’s shrieks, whose bones are probably melting this very second I hesitated. ‘Then save her.’ Hesitation flooded my face and mind. But this is not the time to cower. No, I have been a coward long enough. It’s time to make little sacrifices of my own. I forced my body and soul to crawl near her, disregarding the tears that tried to hinder my sheer sight. Elaine sacrificed herself for us—burned herself for us, even killing our child in her womb. This is wrong. Utterly wrong. Minutes ago, I imagined her killing myself—drowning her into the very spring where I used to bathe to clear my thoughts.
