CHAPTER 2

Carina's POV

Everything happened so quickly. It felt like a dream to me. A nightmare.

"Fuck you, bitch. I trusted you, give that to me!" Madame Rosa stripped off the necklace she gave me on my last birthday.

"You're crazy! I regret ever giving you this dress, you daughter of a murderer!" Madame Irene with all the anger in her heart over the death of her husband, ripped my gown with her claws, tearing them into pieces.

This went on for several minutes and soon, I was barely naked. Almost everything I wore that night were gifts from the pack members. I needed them to know how much I valued their gifts as much as I valued them. But all the while, Gareth was behind, mating with my best friend.

"Throw her out. The moon Goddess shouldn't curse this city!" One old man shouted and before I could phantom what was happening, I was outside, not the pack house, but the city. I was driven to the outskirts of Blue Wood, where the strong men there me into the woods, letting the broken branches on the rustling ground pierce into my soft skin.

"Please, please, help me. Don't leave me here. There are rouges out here and they'll fucking kill me!" I pleaded as I struggled to stand back up.

"Haha. She wants help, Derek!" One of the wolves laughed and called the other guy.

Together, they grabbed my arm and pinned me to the ground. "It's been 2 years since I've pounded any pussy. I'll make this one worthwhile, you bitch!" One of the guys said and before I calculated their moves, they were already naked, trying to shove their dicks into my tired hole.

Getting very angry, Ava, my wolf reacted and shifted. She quickly used her claws to strike the two men, making sure they were deeply wounded, and then, she ran into the woods, whiting as she managed to carry her weak soul.

I lay under a tree, completely naked. I had shifted, but there were no clothes to cover up. Cold reverberated through my bones as I shivered uncontrollably.

I still tried to understand what happened back at Blue Wood Pack. What was even going in at all. It all felt like a weird dream that I'm to wake up from. That Gareth should have woken me up from. Oh Moon Goddess! Curse you!

As I squeezed my body into a curly fold, I thought of how I never noticed the signs. How I completely trusted Eris. Was I that foolish? I should've accepted who I truly am a long time ago, a fucking Lycan Apex. The daughter of a murderer.

"I hate you dad! Fuck you, wherever your body is. I hate youu!!!!!" I screamed out in anger, my voice echoing through the depths of the forest. Tears streaming down my eyes. I was now left alone in this world. My mate rejected me, my pack dejected me, my friend betryaed me and my secret was opened.

As I wondered what other value my life had, my eyes slowly began to sleep. Rain poured down on my open body. This is where it all ends!

I slowly drifted off to sleep, my tears blending in with the rain.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Ow! My head hurts.

My whole body was very sore. My head ached like hell. I wasn't feeling much cold like the previous night. Why? I refused to open my eyes. Well, I was still sleepy. Besides, I didn't want to see reality. Maybe I was dead. Maybe I have been eaten by rouges. I heard that some eat their kinds when they are scavenging.

"Sleep talking?" A young soft voice called out and like a moth to a flame, my body quickly reacted and I quickly jerked off from sleep. I was on a bed, in a room.

As my eyes blended in with the surroundings, my body felt warm. I was in a room. A properly lit room, thanks to the sun rays that travelled in through the window that bore through the wall on that extreme end.

I squeezed my eyes to see properly. The room seemed to be a well furnished room. The bed I lay on was very comfy and large. Where was I? Was this another nightmare?

The room was not the best, but it wasn't bad. It had no air-conditioning, it was almost empty. I couldn't still see very properly, but I saw a table with a reading lamp on it. There was a mirror…

"You sleep beautifully. I would have recorded you every night in my iPhone" The same voice that spoke before called out.

"Who's there? Who are you, show yourself!" I growled, looking at the direction the voice was coming from.

I could hear the voice, I could see the silhouette of the figure, but I couldn't see the person. He stood in a dark corner of the room.

"Show yourself, are you scared of me? Where am I?" I charged confidently, standing up from the bed.

"Well, yes. I am scared of you. You've been sleeping for the past 72 hours. Good thing I found you out in the woods. You could've died!" The figure emerged from the dark. It was a man. A young handsome looking man.

Immediately, my wolf inside me really melted with fear and… attraction? Damn! This man was attractive as fuck! His long, beautiful hair rested on his large, muscular shoulders. He wore a white office shirt and a long black pair of trousers.

As he approached me, I couldn't help but be drawn by the aurora he exuded. His walking steps, his soft lips, his beautiful eyes… they were screaming my name!

"What? What do you mean 72 hours? I was in the woods just last night and…" I suddenly paused. I remembered everything, finally.

"Wait a minute, did you fucking see me naked, you son of a bitch? Did you see my nakedness?" I questioned angrily and tried to imagine the shame I would've felt if I was conscious.

"Well, yeah. Your body is lovely. Your breasts also. I wonder what a woman like you would be doing out there in the woods alone, naked! Let me guess, you were banished by your Alpha because you asked him for sex?" He smiled aggressively and it made me hate him even more. Was he jeering at me? Mocking me?

"Fuck you, I'm leaving now!" I said and stood up.

"Easy there, young lady. You can't move yet!" He tutted with his tongue and waved his finger at me.

"Shit!" He was right. I was chained to the bed. I could not move. "Get me out of here! Now!" I screamed, trying to break free from the chains.

"Tut tut.. you will attract my guards. They're right outside this room and they do whatever I say! So remain calm and I'll ask you a few questions. After that, I'll fuck you and throw you back into the woods. How's that?" He asked calmly and then, he walked up to me and sat on the bed, right beside me.

I wasn't getting it! My rage flared up! Who did he think he was? "I don't care who you are. Let me loose or I'll dig my fang into your… your armpit!" I stammered aggressively, unsure of what I was saying.

Suddenly, the door opened and two hefty men on black shirts and pants barged in. They looked very fierce.

"Calm down, now, Carina. My men here will stay here with you and when you're ready to talk, alert them!" He said and barged out of the room.

What?! He knew my name? How?

There was nothing I could do, so I just sat there in the bed, helplessly looking at the huge men in the room, standing before me.

Suddenly, my eyes caught something. It was a very familiar symbol! I've seen that symbol somewhere before. Hold on a sec, was this.. no..

I was in the WormWood Pack! The most feared pack in all of the Werewolf kingdom!
