Chapter 1
“Fire! Fire! Fire!”
I pushed, propelled, and shoved my way out of the door. My knees were pressed together, and the upper arm of my black dress was torn.
“Help!”
I cried out. I was locked up in a small room almost like a walked-in closet close to the stable. Hays was packed at the side of the room and burning in flames and wood in the roof had got caught with it and was starting to fall.
I was locked in here to be saved from the intruders that had gotten into the pack. Mother left after the door was bolted from the outside. She begged me not to make a sound that it was gonna be over soon and she would come back to get me out.
She lied. She never came back.
Unaware that the flames would break into the room I had squeezed myself in.
I got to the door and my hands hit the door fervently, thick dark smoke was looming around me. I banged the door harder with my fist. Coughing and shouting.
“Anybody!”
“Mom! Dad!” I called out and coughed, my eyes were clouded with tears, and my throat was burning. The heat was getting too much and my skin was starting to feel the burn.
“Retreat! Fire! Fire!” Someone yelled outside the door, I pulled back on my feet, leaned on the wall, struggled back to the door handle, and held it. It burned my hand when I touched it, I cried and fell back to my knees.
“Under attack! Protect the Alpha!” That was the voice of the beta, I was certain of it. Cranon Felipe, the strongest of the wolves and leader of the pack warriors.
He was closer to my father, his best friend's father called him.
He was close.
“I’m here!” I coughed, if I could shout a little bit more maybe, I may get heard.
“...protect him with your life!” He screamed.
“Somebody! I’m right here!” It broke free, the tear spilled off my face running down my cheeks aimlessly. My eyes were fixed on the keyhole, I couldn’t breathe and my sight was blurry, I wouldn’t last long in here.
“Protect the princess!” My father, Grahams Wells yelled, the alpha of the White wolf Pack. He was the sweetest man I’ve ever known.
And I know he loved me dearly.
“D-dad...” my breath was shaky. I wiped my eyes and stared through, he was coming to the room as I was locked, I couldn’t open it because it was locked from the outside.
He was coming to get me out, I smiled out of tears with a glint of hope in my eyes.
He was gonna protect me.
I wiped my eyes to make my views a bit clearer and I saw a tall man behind him and hurled a spear, which contained a sliver of dust into his back. It hit him and made him jolt forward and the spear came out through his chest.
His chestnut eyes were on me. A taint smile appeared on his thin lips before his eyes closed up. My eyes watered, I didn’t know when the tears fell off.
“My...Princess...” his voice cocked. And he fell face down.
A gasp escaped my mouth, and I took in more of the smoke, I ran from the door but there was nowhere to hide, the flames had come through, the door was burning and I was trapped.
“I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die...” I cried because I couldn’t breathe anymore. And a wood from the ceiling fell on me. I fell with my stomach on the ground and burning wood on my shoulders.
“Argh!”
I was only thirteen.
When I lost everything.
