I woke up with a dull ache somewhere in my head and I tried to get a bearing of where I was as though the humming of the car I was seated in wasn’t enough proof that I was not at home anymore but I was desperate for it not to be true.
I was awake but my eyes were not open yet because I didn’t want them to know I had regained consciousness. I wished it was one of those times where I would wake up with no memory of what had just happened or it would all be a dream but this was reality and reality didn’t work like fantasies.When I finally decided to open my eyes since I couldn’t keep them closed for much longer, my vision was sleep blurred and I had to wait for a few minutes before my eyes finally adjusted to the space I was in. I almost jumped back in shock when I found someone already staring at me from the passenger’s seat.I shrunk into myself when I realised who was staring back at me. It was the same brunette who had handled me so roughly. But now as I stared at him in the light, he didn’t look so bad and he was no longer wearing that look of hatred, instead, he was looking at me with pity and it made my skin crawl.I gasped as I realised it was bright around me. I averted my gaze away from the man and pressed my face against the windows so I could take a look at where we were while my heart thundered against my ribs.I had been asleep in the presence of the enemy for a long time and the realisation of how stupid and dangerous it was made me shiver. I can’t believe I allowed myself to be in such a vulnerable position. Luca would have been so disappointed if he were here“But he isn’t” A bitter voice harshly reminded me.We were in the middle of nowhere and the car was moving fast along the highway. We were surrounded by trees and thick forests so there was no way to tell where we were but one thing was for certain, I was far away from the place I had grown to call home. It was obvious that there was not a hint of help around so it would be stupid to call for any.The only sound I could pick were the car and the beds chirping away happily in the air, without any idea of the turmoil and storm brewing in my chest.I noticed from the corner of my eyes that the car I was in was just one of many others. The cars moved in a single motion and rolled down the road in one line so smoothly as if it was an entourage.“You came fancy for people that were on their way to murder an entire pack” I could lie to myself and say that I whispered so they wouldn’t hear me but that would be a lie since as werewolves, they had enhanced hearing. I whispered because I was too tired to talk any louder and I spoke out instead of in my head because I wanted them to hear.“For someone who just lost her family, you sure are still so sharp tongued” the brunette replied mockingly and i felt like someone just punched me so hard it sucked the air out of me.“Where are you taking me? Let me go” I told them. I rattled the car door but it wouldn’t budge and he had gone back to ignoring me.“Why isn’t this opening? Let me out now. I need to go back. They are just laying out there in the cold. I have to at least bury my pack” I leaned forward to yell at them but I was pushed roughly and my back collided with the chair hard.“You better sit still. We may have been ordered not to hurt you but it doesn’t mean you can misbehave” The brunette told me but I was having none of it.“How dare you act like you are doing me a favour by keeping me alive?” I scoffed as the tears came back “You should have killed me too. You people should have killed me too. How can your so-called revenge be complete if one person is left?” I yelled.“Oh trust me, right now I also want to kill you” The brunette told me while giving me a once over. He was irritated with me but that wasn’t my problem.“She’s so fucking loud. Why are we keeping her again?” The guy driving spoke for the first time.“The alpha wants her alive, untouched and unscarred and there's nothing we can do about it” The brunette grumbled.“They are all gone. Everyone. Why do I get to live? I can’t live like this” I whispered tiredly. I was weak and my wolf was hiding somewhere deep inside my soul. I could feel her but she was also hurting a lot.My eyes were heavy once more but I fought the urge to fall asleep again. It was so funny how little things like shouting and crying were capable of tiring me out like a pup. Without my family, I was nothing. I don’t think I would ever be able to move on from this.I could still see the bodies of my pack members laying on the floor, the terror in their eyes as the life in them slowly seeped out. The visual was still so strong and vivid. The young pups, they must have been so terrified. They were so young but they had their lives snatched from them so ruthlessly just like that. How could I ever be able to live with myself knowing that they died and I survived?I didn’t even want to bring myself to think of my brothers and parents but it was impossible not to think about them. My breathing became difficult as I thought of how they are not here anymore and would never be. I won’t ever get to see them again.Mom wasn’t here for me to lay my head on her chest whenever I felt lonely, Dad would never spoil me with gifts again, my brothers would be annoyingly protective over me again.I felt so lost and alone. It was uncomfortable, the silence in my head. No one was laughing or yelling, It was just silent and I couldn’t feel a link anymore. Something I never saw coming, not even in my most terrifying nightmares.I would never forgive them for this. I would kill them all with the last drop of my blood. The only way they can get out of this is if they killed me. Even if I have to pray naked under the moonlight for days, the moon goddess would have to let me have my revenge. She has to. That’s the only way now.The car suddenly took a sharp turn and I bumped into the car door because I wasn’t paying attention. We were now entering the thick forest we had been passing by. They were taking me to their own pack. It was the obvious answer since packs were found deep into the forest, far away from human civilization in whatever country or region they existed.There was no need for me to keep arguing or asking the people in the car with me any questions since it was very clear as day that I won’t be getting any answers from them. They are useless to me. I would have to look for the man who is in charge. The one with the terrifying eyes and aura so intimidating, you’ll go weak in the knees. The Alpha.As we drove deeper into the forest, the thick forest began to give way to an open land. It was such an endless beauty. The grass were so green they almost looked artificial, like they were a painting. The roads were now tiled unlike the rough paths we were initially on. These monsters didn’t deserve to live on a land so beautiful.Now I could see the settlement of the pack. This pack was way larger than mine. Each house was a lot bigger than the ones we had back at home. They were wealthy and a large pack. No wonder they housed such monsters as well.We pulled to a stop in front of the large building that would be the pack house. There were some people standing outside waiting and I felt my stomach churn in disgust at the relief on their faces as the occupants of the cars exited.These people were celebrating the victory against my people. They couldn’t care less that hundreds of people were dead and a pack had just been wiped out.The brunette exited the front seat and came around to open the car door before ripping me out of the car. He dragged me as I stumbled with him past the curious gazes of the people who watched us.I didn’t even try to run because even though I am angry, there was no way to escape and I would only end up dead before I could take a step and I couldn’t die now. I had to make sure they shed tears of blood before I did.I kept my gaze on the floor as I was dragged through the house, not lifting my head once to see anything or admire the house that was a hundred times better than the one we had back at home. I didn’t want to meet the gaze of any of them.After so many turns and climbing so many stairs, he finally came to a stop in front of a room. He pushed the door open and pushed me inside. Because I was not expecting the little push, I stumbled and fell, only missing the wooden stool by the door a little.“Sorry, didn’t mean to push you that hard” Those were the only words I heard before the door was shut and I heard the keys put the lock into place.I remained seated on the floor where I had landed earlier and didn’t move an inch. Everything was so quiet now, including my head. The only thing I could hear was the loud silence in my ears and the drumming of my heart. Who knew silence could be so deafening? I pushed back against myself and drew my legs to my chest. I sat so still for a long time until my legs and back began to hurt from the terrible position but I still didn’t move. I deserved to be in pain. It was my punishment for being alive. I slowly brought my head to my folded knees and it only caused more discomfort to my back but I didn’t mind. I didn’t deserve to be here. I don’t know why they brought me here but it couldn’t be for anything that I liked. I slowly began to rock my body and my eyes grew hot as warm tears flowed freely. My wounds were healed already but my clothes were so filthy now. The green dress was torn and stained with blood. If it was a different dress, I may have not been bothered at all but it
The name of the alpha rang in my head like a loud church bell. Alpha Zion Kincaid of the Valis pack. Everyone knew that name even if they didn’t know who he was in person. Very little is known about the man and for someone like me, I knew less than the others. Dad for reasons unknown to me till this day had put a ban on that name so we couldn’t freely talk about the alpha or anything that had to do with the pack but that didn’t mean that I didn’t hear enough about him from people who carried gossip but that also meant I knew practically next to nothing except baseless rumors. He was known as the Blood Alpha because he enjoyed bathing in the blood of his enemies but I didn’t believe that a person could be so terrifying so I always laughed off the exaggerated adjectives that were used to describe him. It was said that he became the Alpha of a small pack after a tragedy that took his father, the previous alpha and within the space of five years, he had grown that small pack into one
It’s been six days since I have been brought here and kept in this room with no answers of why the life I knew was snatched away from me suddenly. It’s been seven days since I last put a meal in my mouth which meant I was not capable of standing on my own for long. I’ve rejected every single food they brought to me and I was honestly surprised they kept the meals coming. They were always here to also clean up my mess day after day but I won’t be stupid to think they are nice people. I noticed that they never sent the same person twice and all of them had been ordered not to talk to me no matter the situation. They came, dropped the food and came back in ten minutes to clean up the mess after I would angrily throw out the food they would give me. I was starting to feel bad for the people who had to clean my mess like the young girl currently cleaning the soup I had spilled a few minutes earlier. There was irritation on her face as she cleaned but she would not look at me or voice
This time, when the plate of food was brought into my room, I didn’t throw it away but gulped down the food like a starving animal which I technically was. The girl who brought the food was startled by the way I had ripped the plate of food from her before she could place the tray down and started eating but she didn’t wait around. She flew out of the door as I settled on the floor ripping the grilled meat with my hands and teeth. “She is eating” I heard the girl gasp out to the guard at the door the moment she left the room “You’re joking,” Marcus told her. I could hear the disbelief in his voice and I didn’t blame him. I would too if I had been in his shoes. “Would I joke about something like that? I’m off. I need to tell Alpha Zain that she finally ate” The girl told Marus. She made a move to leave but he stopped her “Seems the Alpha’s visit was the nudge she needed to start eating. I was getting worried she was going to die at that rate. I’m glad he visited her” “The Alpha vis
My eyes fluttered open against my will so I glared at the annoying sunlight streaming inside the room from the opened windows, uninvited. I felt better than I did in days and I knew it was because I finally ate and slept on a good bed for once. I wanted to be grateful that I felt better but the guilt that I was so comfortable with kept lingering in my mind and I didn’t know how to move on from the death of the people I had known my whole life. I kept telling myself that I am doing all these to be strong enough to take my revenge but I don’t know if I even believe myself anymore. I had run out of tears and words to scream so I just sat on the bed staring outside, my glare softening as my mind travelled in thoughts. My nose picked up the smell from my pits and my nose scrunched up in disgust at the terrible smell. I had not taken a bath in two days. I reluctantly dragged myself from the bed to the bathroom. I had washed the clothes I was wearing when I came here and it was hanging
My hatred for the man could not overpower the bond that we shared. I figured it was because I was in so much pain, anger and hunger that I had not recognized him as my mate and only did when my head was in the right place Ever since he left the room, I can’t get him out of my head. There was a contrast in emotion between my head and my heart. My head couldn’t and didn’t want to accept the fact that Zion was our mate but my heart was fighting us on it. It had accepted that he was our mate and because of that, my thoughts always trailed back to how amazing he smelled and how good he looked. It was dangerous to me, these unwanted feelings I kept having. I despised that I was starting to desire such a man against my will. I was scared and worried out of my mind. I couldn’t risk rejecting him and dying because I was so stubborn. I would not be able to get my revenge but the main question that kept lingering at the back of my head was if I would be able to kill this man that was now bou
I didn’t know there was a window pane that had a comfortable cushion on it till last night. I felt dead and I am sure I looked the same way I felt. I couldn’t bring myself to sleep a wink last night. My head was busy and my thoughts were so loud, I couldn’t find a single peace or quiet that would have allowed me to sleep. I thought hard and long but as usual I ended up with nothing and just more rage in my system than the previous day. I wanted to give myself a little bit of hope and say that I could break the bond but deep down I knew it was just a wish upon a star. “Are you still mad at me?” Violet whispered timidly and it made me feel bad. “I could never stay mad at you and you know that. We are one and right now, we only have each other so how could I possibly be mad at you?” I sighed “What are we going to do now? What’s the plan?” I would be lying if I said I knew, Yesterday’s event had complicated everything “I don’t know Val. I am so confused and I feel so pathetic that I
I was once again in my starving phase and it was not on purpose. I was so angry, I couldn’t find it in myself to eat. It was two days ago that those two decided to come and spoil my mood and I’ve not been able to eat. I swallowed the lump in my throat and curled more into myself. I could not even sleep a wink. Everytime, I closed my eyes, I could see the life I had lost and it was a scary feeling knowing I would never get it back. The day was crawling and the time was so slow. I didn’t know what to do and I was tired of just sitting all day waiting for whatever horrible fate awaits me. I knew but I didn’t want to admit it. I would just keep my eyes closed and remained ignorant to the harsh reality that was knocking at my door incessantly. In the last two days, I had cleaned with a cloth I found, arranged the already organised room and even jumped around so that I wouldn’t lose my mind. “I’m tired of staying indoors Genny, how long are we going to be kept here?” Violet whined an
