Chapter 6
Cassie POV
It take a whole forty-eight hours before we finally arrive at the country we were heading to. At some point in the journey, I was wondering if we are still on earth or have gone to another planet. You won't blame me, right? That was the longest journey of my life.
We finally arrive at the strange place, and I must confess that I feel so weird being here. Strangely, we didn't take a single belonging from the mansion and it's kind of driving me crazy now. What the heck is going on? As much as I want to feed my curiosity and ask questions, I dare not to. Just the look on the mysterious man's face sends shivers down my spine. I wonder what his name is.
As the car drives down the road, I keep observing the area as I stare out through the window. Unlike other places that are filled with houses, this place is strangely filled with nothing, but plants and wild animals. I cringe when I see a deer.
As the car drives farther in the rough and bushy route, my hope of seeing at least a house keeps shattering, because the farther we go, the thicker it becomes. I need no one to tell me that we are in the woods already, but what we're doing in such a place is what I can't seem to understand. Looking at everyone else in the car turns out that I am the only one getting disturbed about our journey. The rest of them look calm as though nothing weird is happening. This is becoming scary.
After almost an hour of going farther and farther into the thick forest, or should I say woods? The car finally stops at a spot and I wonder if something has happened to the car or if they are going to throw me into the woods and go their way. As much as I want to be calmed, I can't help the tons of questions that keep parading my mind and it keeps driving me crazy and making me scared.
"Come on, Cassie. Come down," Madam Leila's soft voice brings me back to reality, and that is when I notice that she is holding the door open for me. I force a faint smile and step out of the car. There are horses tied to trees.
"What's going on?" I finally whisper to Madam Leila, since she's the only one I can talk to.
"We're about to head home from here," She replies to me, and I pull a puzzled look. As much as I want to ask further questions, I decided to be patient and watch the next thing that is going to happen.
"Come on," She nudges my arm, walking toward one of the horses and that is when I realize that everyone else has climbed the horse each, except for the two of us. Gulping down the lump in my throat, I drag my feet behind her until she gets to the horse and unties the rope from the tree. She climbs it swiftly like the pro she is. She is skilled at this, maybe she must've been doing it for a long time.
"Come here," The ever-cold voice sounds through my ears, bringing me to an abrupt halt. I gulp down nothing as I turn around and walk over to him. He helps me climb the same horse as him.
"Hold me firmly," He says in his usual cold voice and I gulp down the lump in my throat. I wrap my trembling hands around his waist and weird sensations shoot through me. The ride was fun.
After a few minutes, the horse rides into a magnificent building and that is when it dawns on me that we are in another place different from other parts of the country. Just the sight of it, tells me that there is something about the place which is weird.
"Alpha," A young lady calls as she walks over to us elegantly, having an exciting smile dancing on her lips. She looks like she has missed this man so much and has been looking forward to seeing him. But wait! What did she just call him? Alpha? As in alpha of wolves? That's not possible.
"Leila, you know what to do," He says to Madam Leila before walking away, ignoring the young lady that called him. This place looks weird and I wonder what is going on. Since Madam Leila is kind of nice to me, I think she'll answer some questions for me later.
"Come with me," She says to me, walking away while I follow her. She leads me through the veranda that has pillars and turns out that the building isn't just an ordinary one, but a castle. How the heck did my life ended up like this?
I trail behind her until she gets to the last point in the veranda and takes another turn, leading me to God knows where. After walking for what seemed like forever, she finally stops in front of an old wooden door, which looks more like the doors I see in ancient movies, mostly in castles. I can't help wondering if we traveled back in time or something, because this is confusing.
"This will be your room," She says to me, and I glance at her confusingly, taking my gaze to the door afterward. As much as I need someone to explain what is going on, as much as I have so many questions to ask, I just need to be calmed first. I can ask all the questions I want later.
"I'll leave you now," She smiles at me before she finally saunters out of the room. I stare at her till she is out of sight. Letting out a brief sigh, I push the door open, earning a creaking sound from it. It seems like it has been a long time since the door was opened.
Peeking inside the room, I grimace at the sight I behold. The room looks so dirty and dusty. Broken pieces of furniture are littering the floor. God! How am I supposed to clean this up?...
Chapter 7"You didn't have to do that, my lord," One of the old werewolves utters, bowing respectfully.Alpha Damien is sitting on his throne, having a meeting with all the members of the palace castle. Over the years, although alpha Damien may be someone feared by people, if there's one thing he cherishes the most, it is the cooperation of his people, and he dims it fit to listen to them, no matter how difficult it seems to be for him. He's a very understanding alpha."Yes, my lord. Lord Luther is right. Who knows, maybe this young lady is innocent. I know you're angry and seeking vengeance, but don't you think it's better to be sure of everything before you take any action?" Another one stands up and utters, while alpha Damien keeps staring into space, listening to them one after the other."We're not even sure if she's the daughter of the beta," Another one shrug."I have been patient for over twenty years, and I can't take it anymore. That bastard betrayed my father, impregnated,
Cassie POVHis question takes me by surprise and I just stand staring at him confusingly. How am I supposed to know what he's talking about? He was the one that bought me and brought me here, how is it possible that he's suddenly asking me this? Judging from the look on his face, he doesn't look like everything is fine, and I'm beginning to get nervous already."Who is your father?" His words echo in my head again, and I gulp down nothing. He only asked me a question, but I feel like there's more to the question he asked, and I'm already getting all nervous."My...my father? He...he's Mr. Robert," Even if I want to be bold, being around him is enough to make me nervous. I feel my heart beating fast as if it's going to pop out of my chest anytime soon. Why do I feel like everything is not fine?I watch as he stares at me for seconds with an unexplainable expression on his face, but even if it isn't written on his face what the problem is, I can see clearly that something awful is going
Chapter 9Her heart skips a million times at the sight of the cologne. She open her mouth to talk, but words failed her. The cologne was given to her by her dad years ago, but he never told her what it's used for. He had told her to always apply it on her skin and also keep it safe, so no one would ever see it.Back then when her dad had given that to her, she was suspicious but she never dared to ask him any questions, regarding the cologne. For someone that hated her from birth, giving her cologne as a gift was something that seems to be impossible, that was what gave her the impression that there was more to the cologne than her dad had told her. Seeing the dark expression and anger on the alpha's face, she knows that there's a problem, and whatever the problem is, has got something to do with the cologne her father gifted her.She picks it up with her trembling hands and holds on to it tightly. For years, she has cherished the cologne, because it's the only gift her father ever ga
These past few days have been hell on earth for me. I have been made to labor in the castle, I have been literally turned into a slave, doing one work or the other, and it's already driving me crazy. Madam Leila has visited me secretly whenever she can, so my stay here isn't entirely boring. How I'm suffering for the crimes my father committed, is still a puzzle I'm yet to know how to solve. I've also been trying to weigh the possibility of me being a werewolf, but I just can't still believe that. It's horrible to even think about.The thought of everything Madam Leila had told me earlier, came replaying in my head. 'If you want to survive here, you have to obey the law. This place is not like every other place where you're free to do what you want. I am telling you this because I like you a lot and I do not want you to get hurt' her words have been ringing in my head since she told me that.'For the next two weeks, you have to stay in your room, I will attend to you and you'll be inf
His image slowly fades away and she snaps her eyes open to find herself lying on the cold floor of the prison. It was a dream all along. A drop of tears slid down her cheeks as she crawls back and rests her head on the wall, hugging her knees to herself. Her whole body is cold and her body is already getting numb. The prison is cold and her body is almost shivering, but there are no clothes to cover her and protect her from the cold that keeps penetrating her bones. She sighs deeply as her mind wanders off to what happened yesterday. She still can't believe what the alpha had told her about her being a werewolf. It's hard to believe. She has been living all her life believing that werewolves are supernatural creatures that only existed in series, but it never occurred to her that they are really existing and even if she wanted to give that a thought and weigh the possibility of them existing, she could never imagine that even she would turn out to be one. How's this even possible?
Cassie RobertMy heart races rapidly as I stare down at the floor. My body feels so weak and my head feels heavy. I have many thoughts conflicting in my mind. The courtroom is suddenly overpowered by silence, which adds to my fear. All these years of living in pain, I have always wished that I die, but at this point that I see my doom standing in front of me and staring back at me, I feel so scared. I am scared, not because of death, but because of the tortures that accompany it. For the seed of a traitor, as he called my father, I don't think he would want to grant me an easy death without making me go through pain. Taking me down memory lane, my heart hurts deeply as the thought of my father spurs through me. All he ever brought to me was pain, I never got the love I deserved from him and now he's going to be the cause of my death? How wicked of him. "I have an announcement to make..." His cold and domineering voice finally comes on, and waves of fear spark through me as I feel m
The loud moans coming from one of the rooms fill the veranda. "Yeah...yes...there..." Her moans finally become clear and audible. The large room looks extremely beautiful, with portraits of black wolves on the wall. A large mattress is in the middle of the room. Anyone would think that more than three people are sharing the bed, but alpha Damien is the only one sleeping on it. The moans are coming from the bathroom. Alpha Damien is in there, slamming one of his concubines as always. This is what he does almost every day to calm himself down, especially when he's angry.While growing up, he always has women at his call, ready to go to bed with him anytime he wants it. For someone who's handsome and has the charm to melt every woman's heart with his gracious look, it takes him no effort to get whoever he wants. People call him 'the sweet beast'. He may be dangerous, but he's tender and do thing softly behind closed doors. He's someone women would never get tired of throwing themselves
Cassie RobertIt has been three days already, and these are the worst days of my life. I thought my life was a mess back at my father's house, but now I know what pain is. The one I passed through back at my father's house is nothing, life here is hell on earth. After that day that I was taken from the courtroom or whatever they call it, the women that took me away, cut my hair short and now I'm looking like another person. According to them, the rule of their pack states that whenever a werewolf is demoted to an omega, if it's a woman that has long hair, it'll be cut short and if it's a man, his hair will be shaved off. I'm still trying to convince myself about something, I'm not a werewolf. No sign in me shows that I am one of them. I'll never forgive him if ever it turns out that I was being punished for nothing. Guess who's sleeping on the cold and dirty floor? Well, that's me. I wonder why people are made to pass through this much pain. We are made to sleep in a house that's bu
