The Woman Who Could Call Fire

" Veronica wake up it's time " i could hear the calls of the servants bound here by whatever sins they were accused of. I didn't want to wake up not because of this endless hell but becauseMy body craved to stay asleep to pretend , to maybe just ignore the outside world, i use to hope for a savior someone to tell me that this is not my reality but i guess you could say I've learned to put away those childish thoughts of love , hope , dreams i was numb i could no longer feel what used to bind me to the everlasting hope that maybe I deserved to fight for a chance at survival. I was nothing I blinked open my eyes repeatedly, instantly cringing from the sight of the madam of the house . She hated me from the moment i was born as my mother used to tell me , the madam couldn't bare kids due to a condition nobody dared to speak of. My mother just so happened to be the one who was forced to be surrogate to madam by my father the head commander also the king of our kingdo

Darkness is all I remember not just in this moment but from the moment I was born , it was all i could understand especially now. Maybe it was the secrets i had finally begin to understand or the pain for my mother , or just the blow to the head I received but something in me had begin to burn and something about it just felt so relieving like i almost could grasp the power right between my hands."What do you mean this is it , how the hell are we supposed to survive out here let alone find whatever pack it is you claim she belongs to " i could hear lily's voice clearly now , it was obvious i wasn't in darkness anymore. Stretching out in the carriage i set up in looked out the window, it was clearly almost time for the moon to come out and so far all i could see was woods and trees this couldn't be it. " this is it " i whispered questioningly at the guard and driver who delivered us here , " where are we supposed to go " i raised my voice , i was beginning to

"Okay this is the best were going to get i guess " lily said yarning tiredly. We had been walking for hours in all we had managed to find was nothing, complete nothingness. I couldn't help but wonder what we could be missing it seemed like it would take us ages to find this pack i apparently came from, what signs were we even supposed to be looking for. I could feel myself all a sudden getting agitated with the queens games," do you think maybe we aren't seeing it because we just don't want to " i said openly, " I don't know about you but I definitely want to find this pack " she snorted while stuffing her sack behind her head to rest on. " you know what i mean " i said rolling my eyes , " maybe we need to think inside the box , I'm apparently this monster with powers right, so how about in the morning we test that logic out. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough " i said out loud more so to myself ,  " look first thing in the morning if

I could feel my body heating up the more we walked through the forest, we had been walking in circles for a hour. Not finding munch but a endlessness of trees I had taken my coat off long ways back my body could obviously stand the cold now, unlike lily who was shivering away next to me. "It's obvious that something isn't quite right about this forest, or were you just waiting for me to say it" i insisted looking at lily. Before either of us could get out another reply a huge beast like creature tore through the tree's completely missing the sight of us at first,"Veronica run now " lily screamed yanking at me to turn back towards the way we had came. I couldn't move though, i was petrified I couldn't stop staring at the glowing red eyes , the way it turned around in incredible speed to snarl at me. It looked exactly like a wolf but three times the size it's fur was the exact color of pure black , anyone could tell the damage this monster had

I could feel my beast get restless the more i pacedI just couldn't get her out of my mind, My body was fighting against every single instinct my beast was having. The moment he saw her through my eyes it was enough to send him in a spiral, enough to almost make me lose control again. The way she looked at us told us everything we needed to know. She could feel the bond, I could tell from the bond itself that she had a million questions. I also could tell she wasn't a rogue but not exactly human either meaning she had to be the girl that gloria told me i was meant to find. But never did i ever imagine she would be my mate, " ughh what is wrong with me" i yelled to myself in frustration, i had been waiting all my life for this one moment; I couldn't fuck this up. I hadn't thought about how much of a prick i must have looked rushing out of there like that, of course she needs me with her, why wouldn't she ? I'm her mate i knew she could feel the bond just as much as i could. "okay
