Salem "You've become such a heartless Alpha ever since you returned from that strange land. Don't you see you're killing a she-wolf who seemed much younger than your sister?" she complained. "Leave Madison; you have no business here," warned the alpha. "I do." I felt the woman stand before me. "I will not stand here like all the other she-wolves and watch you mistreat her," she protested. "She's not like anyone of the she-wolves in this pack; she's a thief and scoundrel just like her kind." "I don’t care. I will not stand here and watch her die," said the strange wolf, fighting hard to protect me. "Fine. I will leave her to you, but make sure she comes off my land before noon." I heard the alpha grumble as he walked away. "You all go home as well!" yelled the female at the crowd, disappointedly. "I'm so sorry about what happened to you; I wish I was here in time to save you," she then said to me. She was an elderly, dark-haired lady. I wanted to cry, thankful that she had the
Salem I was still in the same spot as yesterday. The outside was soaked with rain from all my tears, and my fur remained smeared in blood—blood that was now dried to my fur, reminding me of every scar the cruel alpha gave me. My wounds had closed up, but they left scars that seemed they were never going to go away. Raindrops found their way into the tree, creating a small puddle. My head looked down into it, and tears formed in my eyes seeing the word he wrote on my forehead—nothing. I whimpered, recalling him saying it. His voice kept repeating in my head, and I spun around, changing my position. My ears suddenly rose, and my nose sniffed, scenting that I was not alone. Wolves were near my home. I stood up, frightened, trying to locate their direction. I sensed one not too far from the tree I was, but the other I had somehow lost his scent. I had to leave, knowing I wasn't safe here. How did they find my territory? I couldn't help thinking I was the one who led them here after lea
Salem "If you disobey me, your alpha, I will ensure that you are expelled from this pack, regardless of the fact that you are my father's only sister or my aunt." I whimpered and passed, fearing what the alpha had said. I know how painful it feels to be alone. I couldn't allow her to be expelled from her pack because of me. I didn't plan to stay with her either. I was not safe here or with the alpha. I planned to leave when I sensed the departure of the two wolves. "Come, don't worry about me," said Madison, sensing I wasn't following her. "I would rather leave this pack than stay with an alpha that is heartless and cruel." I started on my way with her again. "Do you hear me, Madison?" I again heard the alpha yell. I glanced behind me, and my head quickly turned back around at the deadly stare the alpha gave me. Madison led me to a peculiar house nestled amidst towering trees. A brown house that was surrounded by tall trees. The place was beautiful and felt peaceful. It somehow
Salem I whimpered, frightened, and in pain. He bit off my tail. "When I'm through with you, you won't look like a wolf, you scoundrel. You and your kind don't deserve to be called wolves; you're all low-life and a disgusting rogue." Immediately, I turned around to flee for my life. He leaped readily to sink his teeth into my neck. My eyes closed, preparing for my death. Suddenly, my eyes opened upon hearing a fight. I was surprised to see two wolves from the Dark Moon Pack fighting the two grey wolves. Quickly, I turned around and ran away from them. Tears emerged from my eyes. I could not fight back the tears from the great pain I was undergoing. The Grey Pack had killed my entire pack, robbing me of a life of happiness and peace I could have had, and now one had bitten off my tail. I returned in the same direction I was coming from, not having anywhere else to go. The rain caused by my tears soaked my body. I ran for my life and for my safety, scared that the Grey Pack might some
Salem It felt wrong to trust a she-wolf I barely knew. I understand the reason she was so interested in giving me a home was because of her daughter, who was kidnapped from her, and so showing pure kindness towards me was a way for her that if her daughter was to be still alive, the same way she was treating me, her daughter would somehow receive the same treatment. "Wow, the breeze is blowing very hard; it seems like it's going to rain soon again," said Madison. My head held straight away from hers. "You don't have to stay on the porch all day; remember, I gave you a nice and cozy spare room upstairs." I said nothing, still looking away from her. I gazed at the tree branches as they were blown gently by the wind. "Rain." My head finally turned to her. "I know you're having doubts about staying here with me, but I assure you, you're in the safest place." Once again, my head turned away in disbelief. "Please shift into your human form and get yourself cleaned up for supper."
Salem The morning I was still asleep, not realizing it was daylight. A sharp sound behind the door awakened me. I jumped up and ran to the stairs, scenting that it was another wolf outside. Madison had heard the sound and came downstairs. I ran past her upstairs and stood at the corner of the stairs so that no one could see me, frightened. "It's okay; it's probably someone from the pack visiting me," said Madison softly. My head slowly peeped at her from the corner of the stairs. She smiled at me and reassured me that everything was going to be okay. She then went to open the door. As she did, I quickly hid back in the corner of the stairs to see who was here to see her. It was the first wolf I had met the day I left the depths of the forest to hunt for a meal. He was the one who caught me and the one who knocked me out and made me unconscious. I remembered his name. I'll never forget it. His name was Alaric. "Alaric, what are you doing here?" asked Madison curiously. "Good mor
Salem I ran around the living room like a headless cockroach, not knowing where to hide. It was impossible for me to hide from another wolf. My stench was too strong for him not to pick up. I had to find a room that was strong enough to keep me safe until Madison arrived. "Madison," the alpha, began to knock on the door. His knock was so powerful that I heard the roof of the house shake. "Madison, if you don't answer me, I'm going to have to break down the door, assuming you've been hurt by that scoundrel you regretfully let in." Immediately, I ran upstairs. I fall on the final step, hitting my face. I quickly picked myself up and ran to the spare room Madison had given me. I closed the door as I did and hid in the closet full of clothes. As I did, I listened attentively downstairs. I heard the door open with a loud sound, and my heart raced heavily in my chest. I'm dead; it's all I could think of. Madison Where are you? I am worried. I needed her to be here to save me again. Tea
Salem I wasn't scared of being seen by any member of The Dark Blood Pack or even their alpha, knowing that he had agreed to give me 5 days to see if I was worthy to be a part of his pack. I know it wasn't for me, nor did he care that he almost killed me. He did it all for Madison, his aunt. My pain and my tears didn't allow him to show me any mercy, for I was nothing to him. I felt the horrible marking he gave me burn, recollecting the day he wrote nothing on my forehead with his claw. I was truly nothing to him, and I know for sure he'll never allow me to pass any of his tests to be a part of his pack. "Rain, please stop!" I heard Madison behind me. I looked behind me, and there I saw her in her wolf form, chasing me. "I know you're scared about what happened, but look at it—you've been given a chance to be a part of this pack." My head turned away from her, not wanting to hear what she had to say. I was not safe with her as long as her nephew was the ruler of the pack. I would b
