A Life in Hiding

The scent of blood filled the air so much that it was thick and suffocating. Several screams echoed in the distance, and they were all familiar voices, the ones of people I loved. My legs refused to move as I stood frozen in the center of the carnage. The dead bodies of the family were littered on the ground, and their lifeless eyes stared back at me in accusations and condemnation.“Dad! Mom! Sera!” I called out their names one after the other, but none of them responded.My entire world of the sixteen-year-old me came rumbling as the realization dawned on me. They had been brutally murdered beyond recognition. Their bodies were filled with claw marks and holes.Before I could register the scene, a low growl rumbled behind me. I turned slowly, my heart pounding against my ribs. His eyes were golden and bright. It carried a ruthless and predator-like look that scared the life out of me as it locked with mine. I was standing right in front of the monster that destroyed my family.“Run,

The Warning Signs

The pure morning air filled my lungs as I inhaled them furiously. The streets were slowly coming back to life as shopkeepers set up displays and early risers headed to work. It was peaceful and calmed the raging storm in my head.Everything looked normal, so why did I feel so uneasy?“Get a grip!” I shook my head, tapping my face lightly with my palms.I rubbed my arms slightly, trying to shake off the feeling. A creepy feeling had been making me unsettled for a few days now. It was as if someone was watching me but I dismissed it as paranoia at first, even though I knew something wasn’t right. Every one of my senses was alert at the slightest provocation and it was frustrating.I glanced around, searching for something, anything that would explain this lingering unease. Nothing seemed out of place. Everything was perfect, but the feeling didn’t go away.I turned sharply, scanning the area, my wolf instincts sharply clawing to the surface.Nothing was in sight. No one was there; every

The Ambush

The smell of the damp earth mixed with the ones coming from the pine wood filled the cold air. Everyone had gone to sleep, and all the stores were closed. I stayed late at the bookstore, consumed with the thought of being caught.The stranger’s warning kept lingering in my thoughts, and I could barely focus throughout the day. Mrs. Porter had left a few hours ago after warning me strictly to have a good rest that night. But how was I to rest in all of these?Finally, I summoned up the courage to leave the bookstore. My boots were clicking softly against the pavement. I had to pick up a package that was delivered to the store next to us before closing for the day.I clenched my fists, inhaling slowly to keep my nerves calm. trusting my instincts was one of the things my mother taught me as I grew up as a wolf.A rustling noise came from behind. I stopped abruptly, my heart hammering hard as I listened, but there was nothing. I quickened my pace, my breath hitching as I reached my desti

Enter the Alpha

His growl was deep, scary, and intimidating. It was powerful enough for the wolf to pause their actions. The authority was loud and made everyone under it tense. I knew I had no choice but to submit. However, I refused because I had spent too long fighting for my survival, and I wouldn’t betray my grit by bowing to anyone.Little did I know that the night was far from being over. Before I could blink, we were surrounded by wolves larger than I had ever seen. Their dark figures blended with the night, making them slightly unnoticeable until walk or growled.I realized that it was not a battle about me anymore. There were two sides attacking each other ferociously, and the rogues lost at a speed faster than light. Within minutes, their bodies were littered on the floor in a pool of cold blood.It was a complete massacre.In the midst of all the commotion, I tried my best to stand up by using elbows as support because I was too weak to fight and too disoriented to run. My head was bangin

A Predator’s Claim

Damian Blackwood is the infamous Alpha of the Shadow Moon Pack and is known for his ruthlessness. He was merciless in every story ever told and a huge predator among wolves. The thought of having someone like him as a mate was terrifying and infuriating.The mate bond was undeniable because it tugged hard at my soul, leaving no room for me to breathe, but I would never be his. I’d rather die than let him have me, and he was not letting me make any of those decisions.He had forcefully taken me along as he left the human town. I was tied hard and placed next to him in his chariot as we moved out of the town that had shielded me for four years. How he found me, I knew not, but I had never dreamt of meeting him this way.All I wanted was to hate him peacefully till my last breath because I knew getting revenge was useless. He was way more powerful than I could ever be, so there was little to nothing I could do to avenge my family.As the rough road threw us closer to each other, he refus

The Failed Escape

We traveled all night through several territories and boundaries before he gave a command for the men and horses to rest as the sun slowly rose over its horizon. I had kept my eyes open all night, looking for every opportunity to escape, but none came. He had me so tightly tied that I couldn’t break free from the rope unless I shifted. That was a huge work, so the option was scrapped.As the horses stopped, he sliced one of the rope’s edges with a knife and yanked the rest off me powerfully, but he was careful not to hurt me.“Feed her,” he commanded as he helped me off the chariot, and his men rushed to his side.“We have about three hours to go before we get to the pack. She cannot catch up with our speed in this state, so feed her well till she’s strong enough to shift and bolt,” he added and handed me over to the men.The moment Damian’s grip loosened, I bolted.My body moved before my mind could catch up; my muscles were surging with desperate energy as I spun away from him. The

A New World

The journey back home was a quiet one. Only the sound of the chariots was heard as the horses raced back to the pack. No one said a word to each other, and I was just too tired to speak or react. The failed escape made me realize that I shouldn’t try anything silly with him till I got another chance to escape.His strength was unimaginable. He didn’t even need to do much before he caught up with me. Thanks to my frail frame, he tossed me over his shoulder like some sack of sawdust and brought me back. His headguard proposed punishment, and he was slammed with the scariest howl I have ever heard.“Don’t you dare open your mouth to propose; she gets punished! She’s only mine to handle. Only I have the say over her,” he declared.The headguard only trembled in fear. His alpha voice rippled through every living thing; even I was afraid.My eyes were closing on their own as we approached the end of another space. I couldn’t control it anymore and just let myself sleep the stress away. Ther

A Rash Welcome

Niamh led me into the main building itself, and it was beyond my imagination. Whatever I had seen outside the building was just the tip of the iceberg; the inside’s grandeur was undeniable. It has a sleek design of a setting that was almost outside the medieval setting but retained elegance.Its façade was carved from a honey-colored stone. The smooth surface basked in the sunlight. From the sides, the tall and narrow windows stretched upwards with glinting panes. The roof was made of ironwork that was woven together.The driveway was paved with gleaming black stone. A fountain bubbled and splashed in the middle, cooling the atmosphere. All these were accompanied by colorful flowers that flanked the passage.“What is this?”I thought in my mind, but that was just the beginning. We entered a courtyard on the right side that was made of polished flagstones. There was a crafted image of the pack’s crest resting in the frame at the front. It was a place filled with beauty, luxury, and pow

Reconnection

I would have protested by not eating the meal, but I was hungry beyond the drama. No one would care, and they might probably pack it up. The Alpha is far away, so my protest might not even reach his ears. I decided it would be best to start the hunger strike when I get familiar with the environment.Also, the journey was a long one. I had exhausted all my energy. The bath must have had a nice feel in my system because I snored away immediately after I finished eating. Strangely, I could sleep without a nightmare, the first time in several months.I would always wake up with puffy eyes because of the nightmare, but this time around, I slept deeply. No one was in the room when I woke up; I looked around to see only me in the large room.It was late in the night and the only sources of light were the ones coming from the hurricane lantern hung at several points in the room. It was bright enough to light up the room perfectly. My feet connected with the warm floor as I took a proper look

Double Trouble

The ray of the sun coming from the open window cast a glow of the shining glass right at the back of the room on my face, disturbing my sleep.I rolled to the side and tried yawning, but a wave of intense discomfort washed over me. My eyes were on fire. The redness and irritation I had experienced the previous day was nothing compared to my current state.I could barely open my eyes because of the maddening sting from the punishment I subjected myself to at the tannery. Since I didn’t want the maid to feel bad or scared, I decided to keep it low and lay there until an unexpected guest came in.“You should be familiar with the mansion now, little rogue.” His smell had filled my nose before he even appeared at the door. It was so strong that I couldn’t help but inhale it over and over. My wolf shifted a bit to acknowledge his presence. He was that powerful.Little rogue? He had stamped that name on me, and it was extremely annoying. He didn’t need to remind me that I had been out of my
