Chapter 1
Mom . Dad . Chris. Rouges .
That was all I could think about as I lunged at a nearby rouge and snapped his neck.
I turned around , desperately trying to spot my father . I let out a growl when I saw him trying to fend off three wolves that were attacking him .
I ran towards him , and ripped out the throats of the nearest two wolves. I then fought off the last one before turning to him
He was in a really bad shape . He had a massive head wound and his body was torn out
"Dad! Come , we need to get you to safety ! Where's mom?" I asked him.
He coughed before answering .
"Your mom is no more ,Naomi . You need to run... Y-you need t-to go. D-don't worry about m-me .."
"Dad ! Don't say that ! Come with me ! I'm sure mom is here somewhere !" I was really trying to drag him away once I found that a wolf was headed our way , but my father tried his hardest not to budge .
"Dad! Please!" I screamed.
"Naomi , listen to me . You need to run . Take Chris with you and run . You do not know this , but you are special , my dear . You must not fall in anyone else's hands . If not for me then for your dead mother . Please ..."
That got me out of my fervour to take him to safety . I clawed the wolf that was approaching us and ran to get Chris.
My best friend since childhood was in a corner taking in all the destruction .
"Chris , come with me . My father tells me I have to run . But I don't know why . He seemed so serious. He told me I am special or some shit. "
"Oh Naomi ! Thank God you are safe ! Come , let's go . Your father never jokes about these things.."
I and Chris ran until we reached the edge of our territory but didn't stop. We could still smell a few rouges close behind us. But the unnerving thing was that Chris didn't seem scared at all . He was totally unfazed by all this .
I could feel the wolves gaining upon us and I turned around and stopped . I went into my defensive stance and attacked the two wolves that came towards me . After a long and draining fight , I was finally able to kill them .
I turned around to see Chris clapping slowly .
"My , my dear Naomi . I never knew you had that strength in you . Too bad the only thing left of you will be ashes when I am done with you . "
I could see his lips form into a sly smirk as he pulled out a dagger .
"Chris? What are you doing ? Put that dagger down!" I said .
He just continued to walk towards me .
"Do you how degrading it has been for the King of the Duath to be acting as a best friend to a nobody such as you ? Finally , all that I have waited for is right in front of me . "
I pulled out my own dagger and glared at him .
" No ! Enough is enough ! I refuse to submit so easily to you . And to think , my father trusted you with my life ."
With that he lunged towards me and stabbed me in the stomach . My whole body wracked with pain and as I stabbed him near his heart and kicked him in the chest . I was pretty sure he was dead . No one survived an attack from me .
My heart twisted for the former best friend that lay there , dead and motionless .
I could feel my body getter weaker as it prepared to shut down . I was determined to get as far away from him as I could .
So I walked . Slowly and painfully . But surely .
I was long before I could see the lights of a pack . I limped towards the lights as I gradually say black spots dance across my vision. But I was determined to make it onto pack land before letting anything happen to me .
As soon as I set foot on the pack land , my dark brown eyes connected with a pair of hazel eyes.
Even in that state , I was drawn to them .
At that exact moment , my wolf added ," Mate ".
I could feel my entire body go limp as all became dark and I slumped to the ground .
