LEANNA’S POV

The sound of the wind saved me from my thoughts, as I ran for my dear life. The branches and thorns made nicks on my skin where fabric should’ve been.

The howls of the wolves pursuing me weren’t enough to distract me from the fact that Romeo wasn’t next to me.

The thought took root and sprouted as pictures of his emerald green eyes wide open with fear, as bloodthirsty wolves pounced on him were the only thing on my mind.

“No, no, no,” I screamed as I ran, tears pooling at the corn

    LEANNA’S POV“Drink from the cup,”“Drink from the cup,” the lifeless crowd started chanting as I forced myself out of my father’s grip. “Leah! You have to shatter it!” I turned my head to see Stormfang and Romeo yell, before they dissipated into motes of light. “No!” A piercing yell escaped my throat as I stretched out my hand towards them. But they were gone.My frantic gaze tore through the crowd until I laid eyes on the bowl. It was clasped in my father’s hand, with my mom standing right next to him.The other villagers had stepped out to pin my hands to my back, forcing me to my knees as they stood and waited.The crowd parted as my parents walked towards me, with Lena trailing behind them. “Once you drink from the bowl, it’ll all be over darling,” my mom let out. Her sweet baby contrasting with the mask that hung over her features.I suppressed the bile that rose to my throat as I watched them advance.Tears burned in my eyes as I stared at them, etching every feature on the

    LEANNA’S POVI stifled a shudder as the cold wind blew across the square. I barely had any time to prepare myself before my attention was fixated upon the sky.The bright sun was slowly blotted out, as the full moon began to eclipse it, until the sun was no longer in sight. As though it was merely a figment of our imagination.“The goddess has blessed us on this auspicious day,” my father started, drawing my attention as well as that of the other villagers to him.His expression was solemn as he stood at the center of the platform. “Now, it is time,” he let out, his expression solemn as he beckoned towards my mother who left her makeshift throne to stand next to him.I didn’t know when, but a pale white bowl filled with glistening liquid that shone in the darkness was in her palm.“I call upon the pups. It is time for your wolves to make themselves known,” he said, his grave voice reverberating through the crowd.I watched, shivering slightly as I watched villagers my age walk up one

    LEANNA’S POV“Leah? Baby,” my mother’s soft voice resounded as my eyelids fluttered open softly.“Mom?” I groaned, coughing slightly as my throat felt as though no smidgen of water had passed through it in ages.“Here,” she sat me up, placing a cup of water to my lips. I greedily took in as a refreshing feeling gradually spread through my body.A small smile tugged at my lips as I tasted the drops that remained at my lips. It was all so real, there’s no way those strange men were right.My lips curled slightly I distaste as I recalled the threats I heard before I lost consciousness.“Are you okay baby? You’ve been fainting a lot these days.” My mom cooed, her soft hands stroking my hair as she held me in her embrace.I closed my eyes as I felt relaxed by her presence, breathing in her scent.“I’m just a little bit overwhelmed I guess,” I muttered, the worry in her voice sending pangs of guilt through me.“I’m sorry baby. It’ll all be over soon,” she let out, before continuing to say,

    LEANNA’S POV“Lady Leanna?” Lena Jerked an elbow to my side, pulling me out of my reverie. I failed to suppress the blush that quickly colored my cheeks.I cleared my throat before I decided to address him. “What business do you have with me alpha?” My tone was as imperious as it could be as I had spent years mimicking my father.“I have come for your hand,” his gaze was bold and invasive as he stated his intentions. I was visibly taken aback and at the same time, left speechless.“Haha! You’re quite straightforward alpha! I’m impressed,” a sonorous laughter escaped my father’s lips, feeding me with the urge to escape into the ground beneath me.Regular fathers would be against sending their precious daughters to some faraway land. I wondered why mine was any different.“I’m flattered but I’m not looking for a husband,” I spat, finding it difficult to avert my gaze from his near perfect features.“That’s no matter. I’ll make you fall for me in no time,” a devilish grin tugged at the c

    LEANNA’S POVMy heart rippled at the mention of that name. As though a stone was thrown directly in the center.“Alpha Stormfang?” I muttered underneath my breath, wondering why a name I only associated with my dreams would become a reality.“Yes pup! He came just to attend your ceremony,” my father’s hand was already halfway through ruffling my bun before I came to.“You’re ruining my hair!” I exclaimed, jerking backwards as I sought to escape from his clutches.“Ah come here! You used to love this!” He let out a slightly devious smirk as he closed the distance between us, before he continued. Locking me in place with nowhere else to go.“Yeah, when I was five,” I let out aggrieved, pursing my lips and waiting for him to get tired as I knew there was no escaping his clutches.“Enjoy it cous! Messy fits you,” Lena struggled to stifle her laughter as she stared straight at me. I mouthed a ‘you’re dead’ shooting daggers in her direction. I was going to get her back, right after I saved

    LEANNA’S POV“Good morning sleepy head,” a soft voice rang out, pulling me out of my reverie. “Mom?” I called out softly, rubbing my eyes as her figure gradually turned clear. “It was real,” I muttered softly as I stared at her sleek black hair, framed by her soft blue eyes.“You’re real,” I murmured, tears pooling in the corner of my eyes as I stood up to embrace her. “Of course I’m real silly,” her soft laugh echoed through the room as she let me wrap her in my embrace. “Yes, yes,” I laughed, cleaning the tears before they could fall as I gave her a wide smile. “Where’s dad?” I asked, eager to bask in his presence once again.“He’s waiting for you at the training grounds remember? Did you lose some of your memories?” Her brows furrowed slightly as she placed her warm palm on my head.I stood silently, feeling my eyes water as I felt her raw concern. “I’m fine. Just exhausted,” I said, deciding not to go in-depth about the nightmare I had of them. That’s right, the world where th
