In the woods..

Laura and Gina moved quietly through the whispering woods. The air was rich with the scent of damp earth and moss. Birds called softly from the trees overhead.

Near a fallen log, Gina knelt down by a cluster of green stalks.“Bingo, this is it.” She said. Tugging a few leaves free and brushing her curls back.

“What’s is it?”Laura asked curiously.

“Nightbane roots.When brewed properly it helps with pain.”

Laura nodded.Her attention drawn to a patch of old looking plants.The plants had narrow blue silver leaves with an almost translucent quality.

Instincts guiding her towards one of the wispy long stalks.

“This plant it masks scent.”

“Huh what?”Gina asked

“Nothing.Just thinking aloud.”

She made a mental note. Veilroot- perfect for stealth,even infiltration.

She remembered sneaking into the library back in Silvermoon pack just to learn about the herb.

  • THE CURSED ONE    Chapter 7: The Guise of Alliance

    Standing in front of her mirror in the dim silence of her chamber,the woman was draped in a blood-red gown matching her red painted lips. Cold hazel eyes fixated on the picture of a ruggedly handsome man with silver orbs, chiseled jaw, strong neck,broad shoulders with beautiful pale skin.Running her hands over the image she whispered saying: “You think you can keep me away forever?… No Damian.You belong to me. You always have.” She giggled excitedly.The alliance between Bluemoon and Blackmoon pack was a marital one. The alliance marriage was only one cycle away,even so Marisa was impatient. She wanted it to happen.And fast. Power, dominance and the title of luna at Blackmoon pack. She has always wanted Damian ever since they were in high school. She still remembered when she tried to talk to him. But she was shutout by his first mate Hera.Flashback~The school hall was packed with werewolves of different ranks. No one forgot their place even at school. Damian and his crew

    Pale silver lights casted across the room as the moon hung low. Outside the Alpha’s study Laura stood her heart hammering as her instincts screamed at her to leave, but hopes tearful face haunted her.She summoned courage and knocked on the door.“Enter” came a deep baritone voice belonging only to Alpha Damian. She stepped In, the door creaked softly. Damian stood by the window looking at the distant woods.“I’m here to apologize. I spoke out of turn the other day…I know I crossed my limits, but it wasn’t my intention to insult her memory. I just reacted and I regret that.”Alpha Damian remained silent. Damian turned to her slowly his jaw clenched and his orbs burned brightly. Laura continued.“I’m not in a position to ask for forgiveness but I’m asking you to give me a chance to take care of Hope. Please, she feels safe with me. I care about her please let me be there for her.” Damian scoffed at her words “You forget your place again Laura.”“No. I know my place and Hope’s.

    “How dare you!!”Alpha Damian said as he slammed the doors of the library. He stood at the doorway his towering presence sucked the warmth away. His cold silver orbs locked on Laura.“You dare touch her?”His voice thundered as he grabbed Laura’s arm in a tight grip. His grip was so strong his nails scratched her.Laura’s heart stopped. She slowly said:“ I came to clean.She was alone so I thought to keep her company”“I don’t care what your reason is. You are not to touch her. She is not to be approached by anyone.”He grabbed Laura’s arm and pulled her closer,she winced.“ I have been very lenient with you, but you will know your place now.”——— With immediate effect Laura was escorted to the mining area. Her first punishment was to join the miner’s to work till the next day without food or water and if caught slacking… she would be flogged. Laura drove the pickaxe into the hard earth.Lifting the axe was so much work for her,but she managed she knew she was supposed to be doi

    The air thick with desperation in the poorly lit auction house. Laura was dragged onto the stage where lanterns casted long shadows over the crowd hungry for profit and power. Face streaked with tears, body aching, chains bit into her wrist. The auctioneer’s voice rang “Next we have a rare prize.Laura.A runt from Silvermoon pack with fire in her eyes. Who will bid for this cursed one?”. I stood there as the men with lecherous gazes watched and bid over me like I was some toy, an artifact or a possession.Moon Goddess I’m calling onto you please save me!!. Among the crowd a silhouette made its way toward the stage and dropped a heavy pouch filled with silver and Gold. Such wealth,only an Alpha could command.Who was this man.With a deep and commanding voice that cut through the murmurs like a sharp steel blade he said:“I’ll take the one they call Laura”.Traders hesitated. Called her worthless,some even called her cursed. “Might be worthless to you,but she’s mine!!”, With a swi
