Chapter 17: The black sheepRUDINAEveryone around me is black and I wonder how I'm the only white-skinned child. There are tiny huts with bamboo roofings all around me. I do not know where I am, what my name is how I got here. I start to wander around and I can feel all eyes are on me. I bow my head as I walk, hoping someone would recognize me and come to me."Child, come here." comes a woman's voice. I lift my head to find a stern-looking lady watching me. She motions for me to come closer with her hands and I do as I'm told."What is your name?" She demands.I shake my head." You are going to be a member of this pack from now on." She tells me.I nod my head."We are werewolves and so are you. Every child is trained and taught the art of survival. The world is peaceful now but we do not need war to be strong. You shall join that group and take training with them every day. I do not need a weakling in my pack so
Chapter 18: An impossible goalVOLKI had carried Rudina back to the house after she met with Lowell and Ashina. She was awed when Elis let her rub her fur. She had a smile on her face till we got back to the house. I took her upstairs to her room where she fell asleep minutes later. I knew I had pushed her too far but she seemed less fatigued. I wanted to ask if she also felt stronger with the full moon but I didn't want to pick at her many horrible memories.I had gone back to my room so that I could get some time alone to speak to Conri.” Why did you refuse to come out in the woods?” I demand.I had intended to shift when Dreagar and Elis came but Conri wouldn't budge. It came to me as a shock as I could not understand why my wolf was not surfacing and taking form.”You’ve not accepted her.” Conri retorts.” I have been doing my best Conri. How else am I supposed to accept her?
Chapter 19: The angelRUDINARight when I set my eyes on her, I recognise her from the picture I had seen downstairs. She walks up to me with a smile and hugs me." I'm so glad to finally meet you, Rudina." Mrs Lycaon says.I had been seating on the hammock and watching the empty fields. Ashina had not come up today and Volk didn't stay after breakfast, it seemed like he was in a hurry.Mrs Lycaon sits beside me and we watch the fields together. There was a bit of an awkward air as none of us knew what to say." It must feel very different for you here, I hope they have been treating you well?"Her voice is melodic and gentle, making me feel like if I listen to her more, I'll end up falling asleep."Yes, they have." I say.She looks at me with a stunned expression." They mentioned you don't speak much, I am honoured."I smile at the beautiful words coming from her beautiful face. This had
Chapter 20: TemptationsVOLKThere was so much to do. It had been a week since the full moon which gave up just three weeks before the next. There was no specified time for the arrival of our pack so we had to get everything ready and move into the woods before they started to arrive. Myself, Lowell, Ashina and Marissa had been running all of the errands while Mum and Dad stayed with Rudina. I mostly got back when she was asleep so I would go to her room and watch her sleep. It had become the part of my day that I look forward to, though I keep wishing I could join her in bed and lay with her."Why is she still here?" Ashina snarls. Lowell gives her a look that she shrugs to and walks away.Marissa had gone to fetch more soap to continue cleaning with. I watched as her hips swayed and her tits bounced in her tight shirt that gave me a show of her beautiful cleavage. I could ignore all of her advances towards me but I couldn't ignore that she w
Chapter 21: BeautyVOLKThis wasn't the first time I was seduced by a woman. Different werewolves had made advances at me, both within and outside our pack. I had never fallen prey to any of them. I wondered if it was because my emotions had been in disarray since I met Rudina. It was as if I could not control how I felt around her and I was constantly on overdrive.I had stayed in my room since the even with Marissa, I knew I would have to go down to fetch dinner but I wanted to wait til Rudina had retired to her room.I hear a soft knock on my door and I figured Mum had fetched Lowell to get me." Come in." I say.Mum walks in carrying my dinner with her with a glass of water. It was barbequed ribs and the rich aroma filled the air. Mum rarely came into my room and if she did, I knew what it meant, I'm about to receive a lecture." Rudina put so much effort in making this dish. I'm sure she's heartbroke
Chapter 22: FatedRUDINAMy life had taken a drastic turn. From living off scraps and not knowing what my next meal would be to being able to make the meals I ate every day. It gave me a new sense of being and self-worth. It had been a month already, and I have never regretted being here. The Lycaons had shown me a whole new definition of humanity and kindness. Every day seemed like a dream come through. I always woke to smiles since Marissa left. No one had asked why she was leaving abruptly as she did not even have dinner.Like with everyone else, Volk and I had grown closer and I could feel sparks flying between us every time we were together. He was always in my room at night and would tell me stories about his many adventures with Lowell and Ashina as children. As Diane had said, he wasn't so tough on the inside. It was as if he puts on a mask for the world to see then he would keep it aside anytime he came to me. It made me feel special and wanted. I still
Chapter 23: LunaRUDINAEveryone had already moved to the woods and Ashina had taken the last of my luggage two hours earlier. She and Lowell had just arrived from their last trip when I came out of the kitchen. Diane had left me in charge of lunch and I had been tidying up the kitchen. Lowell waves then head upstairs where Volk was. He had been in his room since our weird exchange earlier." I don't know if I am ready to leave here just yet."I had been getting cold feet as the hour drew near. I didn't want to leave. I didn't want to be around any other people. I was content with the Lycaons I had everything I needed with them.Ashina looks at me pitifully and takes my hand in hers, giving it a gently squeeze. She had been trying her best to convince me for weeks that everything would be fine. I had tried to believe her but after my past experiences, it was impossible not to worry." Firstly, you have the entire Lycaon family on
Chapter 24: The fallRUDINA"Luna!" The little girl screams again." Hello." I say. " Hush, Sabrina." A middle-aged woman walks to us and takes the girl by the arm. The lady smiles at me and looks at Volk." The universe is too good to Volk, our Luna is beautiful." She says. " We have a Luna!" The little girl screams again then pulls out of the lady's grip, still chanting the same words.The woman sighs then shakes her head. "I'm sorry about that, she's one of my many monsters. I'm Candice Morrighan.” She tells me. My heart began to race as I could not find the words to reply to her. I look to Volk with pleading eyes and he seems to understand. He whispers something in Candice’s ear and she smiles at me.”I’ll see you later.” She says as she begins to walk away. ” You'll get used to them in a few days. That was Lowell’s sister and those are her boys.” He points to the three shirtless teenagers. ” Rudina!” Ashina screamed with a wave. She was standing in front of one of the sma
