Chapter 1
The cold icy wind blows against my skin as I walk, rubbing my arms to keep myself warm from the cold. If I had listened to my mother, I would not have been in this situation right now.
The temperature keeps dropping every second. Even as a wolf, it's too cold for me. Since I haven't shifted its worse.
I feel relieved when I spot my destination. In order to acquire some heat I sprint towards it. The more I run the warmer I feel.
My mother sent me to the Beta's house just to see how his doing because he has been taking care of my family and I. By family I mean my mum and I. My dad rejected my mum after mating, which was pretty sad.
I stop running when I reach the front of the house. Just when I am about to knock,I smell something foreign. a scent that I have never come across in this pack.
Apart from that the door is slightly open which is unusual
Shivers run down my spine as different scenarios run through my head, each showing that I am going to die. Maybe I am just over reacting, the Beta is probably sipping a cup of tea right now. But the door is open, he never leaves the door open.
Something's wrong.
I push the door wide enough for me to enter the house. This house remains to be one of the best houses I have ever seen. With it's grey interior walls, high ceiling with a lovely chandelier hanging at the top. It really has nice comfy chairs that you can easily fall asleep on.
The house is awfully quiet and that scent is every where. Why is it here? What had it been looking for? I trace the scent using my nose. It leads me up the staircase which I climb slowly and quietly. When I reach the top of the stair case, I feel my heart in my mouth. I keep walking until the scent becomes concentrated in one particular room. I open the door and I sniff the room with my eyes closed.
Something smells bloody. I open my eyes and I scan the room until my eyes avert to the ground. I I stare at the body in horror. It's covered in so many cuts and blood is oozing out. It doesn't take time for me to realise its the beta and my heart breaks into a thousand pieces.
I start walking backwards but my back hits something hard. Just when I about to turn,the person puts a cloth over my nose and mouth and then black splotches of darkness begin to appear until everything else turns into a world of darkness.
---------------------------------------------
I regain consciousness and I open my eyes. The Beta's corpse is still on the floor but the person who did this is gone. Judging by the smell, it's faint. Who on earth could have done this?
I walk towards the Beta and I spot the knife that was use to kill him. I can track the scent maybe if I just get a stronger scent it can be better. So I pick up the knife and at that moment, the door opens revealing the last person anyone would want to see in such a situation. Damien Blackwell, the Alpha. He is standing in all his glory shirtless. He has the perfect torso accompanied by a broad chest and an eight pack that I would like to drool over.
He has jet black hair which looks slightly disheveled as if he had been running his hands through it. He has piercing green eyes that can cause your blood to rise in fear with just one glance.
He begins to walk towards me menacingly, like a predator about to attack its prey. With each step he takes, I take a step back until my back hits the wall and there is no hope of running. When he is very close to me, I move my gaze to the floor. He uses his finger to lift my head so that I can look into his eyes.
The moment I do, I feel intimidated. When I try to look away, he grips my neck."don't you dare to run,"he snarls. I look at him in horror.
"please,"I choke out.
"I didn't.... do it,"I plead but he doesn't comply. With each second, my head feels light due to inadequate oxygen. I think dying is better than this right now. But at that moment when I feel like I am going to die, he lets me go.
I fall to the ground and I take deep breathes. He grasps me by my arm forcing me to stand up and he hauls me out of the house. When we reach his Mercedes, he opens the boot an he removes silver chains. I gulp because I know this will be painful. He cuffs me and he yanks me in the boot of his car. He slams it shut and just then I begin to feel a burning sensation in my wrists.
I begin to scream as the pain becomes unbearable. I get worn out because I can't handle it, so I succumb to darkness.
I wake up when the car halts. The alpha opens the boot and tugs me out. Its already dark.
He removes the cuffs and he shoves me to the ground. I scrape my knee and I wince in pain. He gives me a cunning smile as other wolves appear besides him.
He whistles and they begin to beat me. I cry out in pain. According to our law: no wolf is shown mercy after murdering another.
Just when they begin to go to far, the alpha growls and they stop. I feel so much pain.
He looks at me and for a second his eyes show remorse but the he masks it and he hoists me up. I wrap my hands around his neck to prevent myself from falling.
Due to this fatigue, I burry my head in his torso and I close my eyes. I don't care about the situation at hand but all I know is that I need to rest.
