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 her reservations about my act.
They weren’t responsible actively but I wanted them to get fed up with me and drive me out. I needed to bury the bodies of my pack members and I couldn’t do it if I was kept here. I have to leave this place
‘She obviously doesn't want our food. I don’t know why the Alpha is so insistent on us giving her food she would end up not eating” The person standing up front spoke
“You know why and it would be better if you kept your mouth shut before someone overhears you” The other person whispered harshly.
I’ve noticed that they know something I don’t. There was a reason I was being kept here but no one would tell me anything. There was also no way of knowing what it was.
The girl finished wiping the floor and gathered her supplies before making her way out of the room. She gave my trembling form one last look before heading out of the door.
I’ve been in the same spot beside the bed on the floor since I was brought here. I only moved to take a shower or use the bathroom. I slept on the floor because I could not and would not bring myself to enjoy the comfort of killers.
My body was stiff and it aches like a bitch but I would not do anything to change it even if I could. It was a constant reminder of what I was going through and what I had lost.
Lots of humans thought of us as supernatural beings, that we didn’t get sick but we did. Having an animal side gave us heightened strength, faster healing and lots of other perks but we still had a human side that was more prevalent.
We had a fever sometimes, we felt stiff when we woke up in the morning and we took time to heal even from a knife cut though it was way faster than the average humans.
My body was shaking so bad because of the lack of food and me sitting in one spot for so long. I knew falling sick at this point was inevitable for me. I wonder if I will see mom when I die too.
“Alpha Zain, What are you doing here?” The man in front of the door spoke and I snapped my head towards the door. He was finally here
“Marus, Do I need your permission to go somewhere in my pack house?” He asked the man. His voice was void of any anger but I trembled when he spoke
“No. Alpha, that’s not what I meant. I si…” The man stuttered trying to come up with a reply
“Save your explanations for someone who needs them.” He cut off the man before he could complete his sentence
“Has she still refused to eat?” He was asking about me which meant he was going to come in and I hoped he would so I could use my claws to rip out his eyes and his heart.
The thought of it brought great satisfaction to me and my claws and fangs extended in delight at the thought of killing the man
“Yes Alpha. She has refused every meal” Marus spoke
There was no response from Zain but the door lock rattled and soon the door swung open and he stood there in front of me.
“Excuse us” He spoke without looking away from me and I could hear footsteps hurry down the hall, away from us and soon we were alone.
He stepped properly into the room and closed the door behind him. He stood for a long time at the door that I thought he would not move any closer but he did. He walked further into the room with his eyes on me.
My head had become hazy with hunger but I could feel how powerful he was. He looked almost feral with his long hair that fell to his shoulders and deep grey eyes that were narrowed at me.
“You have refused to eat. Why?” He sat on the edge of the bed and gave me a once over
“I would not touch anything from you monsters” I spat and some of the spit landed on his cheeks but he made no move to wipe it instead he gave me a little smirk
“Still feisty huh? Can you stand?” He gestured towards my curled form of the floor “It must hurt to sit in one place for so long”
I don’t know why I was suddenly tongue tied in front of him. I just sat like a weakling and watched him taunt me with words. It was like his presence had cut off all my ability to function and even my anger seem stunted
“I’ll kill you. I’ll rip that stupid smirk off your face you bastard’ I yelled but I started coughing weakly because I raised my voice too much
“You have to be strong to kill me darling and looking at you I bet you can’t even lift a finger so tell me how are you going to kill me? It’s going to take more than empty words to cut me” He was smiling at me. No, not smiling, laughing and it made my eyes water
“Why?” I whispered, letting my eyes fall to the ground. “Why did you kill them? We were an innocent and peaceful pack.” The growl that escaped his lips was more than just a warning.
I snapped my head up to see his glowing red eyes and it was terrifying. Werewolves usually had golden eyes but Alphas were different. They had red eyes, a true definition that they were different from the rest of us.
My hands were shaking and I did not realise how much he terrified me looking like that. I shrunk into myself and pushed back against the wall to get away from him. I was not stupid to think that I could take on an Alpha even though I was an alpha’s daughter.
His eyes turned their natural colour and he took a deep breath to calm himself down. I watch him regain his composure and school his features as if what just happened didn’t take place at all
“Let’s say your family is really as innocent as you claim? Why don’t you take revenge on them now” He mocked. He bared his neck to me, giving me an open invitation to slash his neck open and watch him bleed to death
“Go on, you won’t get this chance again. Kill me like you want to” He prompted me. My eyes were trained on the veins so vivid on his neck and I leap with my claws extended without thinking of why he was making it seem so easy, too easy.
I landed painfully on my back before I could even get an inch within his space. A sickening crack followed a painful gasp from me as he slam me mercifully into the ground
“You want to kill me when you are so weak?” he scoffed “Pathetic” He tsked and shook his head. He was hovering over me and he used his right hand to hold both of mine above my head
I raised my head and slammed it against his and he released me long enough for me to push him away from me.
“Don’t touch me” I rasped out before I lunged at him again. This time he didn’t fight me but he trapped me in his arms. My hands were against my chest and he had one hand holding me. He was so strong that he could hold me firmly against his body and I could not free myself even as I struggled.
His hands that weren’t occupied gripped my jaw and turned my face to the side so he could look at me. He bent to sniff my hair for some time and it ticked me off so I pushed my head back with enough force so I could slam into his head but he predicted the move because his fingers on my jaw tightened painfully to stop me.
“I’m not against you taking revenge even when you don’t know the whole story but you can’t do anything in this state. The pups in my pack could easily kill you in seconds like this” I felt so humiliated but I refused to let him see my tears
“I’ll give you a little advice, why don’t you eat something then I can give you a second chance at killing me?” he let me go and when I turned to give him a befitting reply, I was met with the sight of the door getting shut.
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
ZION’S POV I was being punished for every evil deed I had committed to get my revenge. I stood by my window that overlooked the large field in front of the pack house and watched my pack members go about their daily activities. They finally looked so relaxed now that we had gotten the revenge we deserved for the cruelty that was done to us. If only I could be as happy as they were but I had to pay the price for the actions we had to take to get to where we were. We didn’t become one of the most powerful packs by playing nice. Power never comes easy but if I was given the choice, I would do it all over again if it meant I could kill those bastards. Those bastards that housed the very core of my life, my mate. I never imagined that I would find her there. We are already doomed before we could start. I can never forget the hatred in her eyes as she spat on my feet. My groin hardened as I thought about the fire in her hazel eyes. My girl was a force to be reckoned with and it made m
“It’s all over Violet. We are stuck here and we are never getting out, are we? I can’t believe my life is about to be ruined like this. I must have done a lot of terrible things in my previous life. Maybe I was a rogue who killed lots of innocent people or an Alpha who was a tyrant” I mutter with my millionth sight since I woke up My anger had now become dormant, only boiling beneath the surface. I could not even get angry anymore and now I was just numb and tired, struggling to mentally accept that my fate had been sealed and the moon goddess wasn’t making any changes “You are going to get mad but I’ll say it anyway. This could be the plan the moon goddess has for us. We may be happy here. We just need to find out the real truth because I don’t believe that someone would kill an entire pack for no reason at all. You heard the Luna that night, your father did something really bad and you can’t continue to deny it and push it behind you because you are unwilling to accept that fact” S
With a prompt from Violet, I decided to freshen up before Lily arrived. For some reason unknown to me , I didn’t want to look so lesser than the beauty that was coming on my request. As if on cue, there was a knock on the door the moment I dropped my towel on the chair beside the bathroom door. I took a look at myself in the baggy pants and oversized t-shirt that still had the distinguished smell of Zion even though obvious effort was put into getting rid of it. He didn’t want me to know that the clothes were his, maybe because he thought I wouldn’t wear them and he would have been right if I had other options. I felt more at ease wearing his clothes but I didn’t dwell on it because I knew it was just the mate bond acting up. “Come In” I called out when I realised that I had yet to answer “It’s not like I can open the door from inside” I muttered sarcastically “We know you can’t open the door but we had to knock for respect. You are our Luna after all” Lily remarked as she st
