Episode 5

The smirk on her face showed just one thing: an evil intention, but I had no chance to see it for over one second. I had no chance to find out why she did that, because now I am being shredded with pain...

A loud shrill escaped my lips, resounding through the entire building. My body shook in extreme torment. I rolled around the floor, convulsing for breath; it was like I would die. I could sense my wolf howling in agony too. My soul was on fire, my head was pounding, I could sense every part of my soul being torn apart. The pain was so intense that I cried and cried, and I pleaded with just my teary eyes, but no one could even get a bit of pity. Each time I moved my lips to plead, I felt like it was going to melt away. The fire can't be seen, but I can feel the immense torture of being burnt to death...

My heart tore out, recalling that my father was also staring, right there on his throne, watching as I was torn apart in this misery, this heart-breaking pain; he is the only family I have now, but it was no different; he hates me even more.

I gasped and yelled in excruciating pain, begging in my mind to let go because I can't talk anymore. It has been a long time since I went through this; I thought it had been over; I hoped they no longer doubted my being a werewolf and not a demon. Why today??? Why make me go through this again?

The burn went deeper and deeper, more intense, going deep into my bone marrow. I gritted my teeth and another flood of hot tears rolled down. 

It had been over a minute now and yet the pain wasn't leaving. I knew I was going to die. Now I get to understand the smirk on her face. She must have added another substance to this. It was not just that the suffering was more intense, it also took more time than the previous ones.

I felt my wolf dying. Lena is still too young to be subjected to such atrocities; she is simply too innocent for this ordeal; it wasn't her fault that I appeared strangely. Why would she have to join me in this misery? I forced my eyes open as my whole body trembled in pain...

There I examined their faces. I looked around at the emotionless expressions on the faces of the entire royal family. My vision was blurred because of the tears in my eyes. I also saw my father, and felt a streak of sharp grief cross the deepest part of my heart. He wasn't concerned about my cries; he didn't care if I died in this torment. He even rolled his eyes at me and whispered something to the Luna, making them laugh.

I broke down and went into unconsciousness; the sorcerer wasn't here to check who I was; she wasn't here like the others; there was surely an evil scheme. The smirk showed it all...

They didn't know, they weren't aware that I was going to die. No one knew the pain was there to kill me. I am badly wounded internally now. It would take a week for me to heal. That is because I have a high wolf healing power.

The strain went through my body for the fifth time, and I shrieked so vehemently that my voice was heard all around the whole building.

As I felt life leaving me, something strange happened to my body. I suddenly felt no pain, and then I realized I was lifeless and gone. I guess they will all be happy now.

"Release her from that misery now!!!" I heard a loud growl, and everything went blank. I think it's already too late.

I'm dead!

*******

"Elena..." As my eyes opened, I overheard my name being called by an unknown voice. I was in a strange place. It was like an abandoned village. The houses were all unkempt, and there were cobwebs and dust all over...

I turned around on hearing the tone, my eyes roamed around the floors, and I got my eyes popped out at what I saw. There were piles of dead bodies all over. It spread like sand...

"Do you know who you see?" The voice sounded again, and this time I found out it was a sound in me from a different beast and not my wolf.

I arched my brow, feeling my heart grow heavy in pain and agony. I couldn't recognize the face, so I moved around more and then my eyes flashed on one of the lifeless bodies, sending a great shock all over me...

A woman who looked like me. My instinct immediately told me she was my mother.

I ran to her and raised her body in my lap; she was dead, and the body immediately turned to dust. I was still in shock when I saw my father, step-sister, and brother, as well as the beta, gamma, and warriors, and their mates...

I sprang up and looked around, only to recognize the village as my pack, The Silver Moon...

The building in front of me was the Royal Pack House.

"Your pack would turn to ruin without you!" I heard the hoarse voice, and I cringed.

"What do you mean and who are you?..." This isn't real, right?" I begged, with hot tears rushing down. I can't just imagine everyone dead.

Even when they hate me, I won't want their death...

"Is there anyone missing here?" The voice inquired and produced a deep-throated laugh that caused me to shiver.

I looked around and couldn't find Elf, the second Luna. Others were lying dead, except for her.

"What does it mean?" My eyes became tearier as I shook in horror...

"You're inside of me?..." I tried to ask but lost my speech.

"I represent your red eyes. You don't need to know me until the day I rise! " The voice went all over my head and through the entire building and surroundings.
