I will never forget the day my beautiful life turned to hell and was totally ruined.
My name is Selene, a young girl of 19 who now lives in the royal pack house like a slave to the Alpha.My life turned into a mess, and the lovely world I was living in became one where everyone was against me, ready to badly humiliate me till I might be forced to kill myself.For something that wasn't my crime, I was made to pay for it. I wasn't the one who made my mother get pregnant for a vampire to bore me a mix breed of both werewolf and vampire, yet they turned me into their enemy due to their grudges against the vampires.The day I turned 18 was when everything I thought was happiness and love vanished into thin air and was replaced with nothing but misery. I was that beautiful young girl who dreamed of the best out of her life, growing up in the pack just like every other werewolf and having my parents and friends who loved and cared for me so well like a princess.My parents weren't so rich, but we had a perfect family life, and as the only daughter of my parents, they were ready to do everything possible to put a smile on my face.My parents are among the pack hunters, so we were well respected and treated with respect for being part of the safety of the pack. But it all came to an end in a blink.Just like a nightmare, the perfect life I thought I had was no more. Right before my eyes, I saw how my once happy family was destroyed.All this happened on the day that was supposed to be the best and happiest day of my life. It was a day my parents, friends, and I all longed for, and we were all wishing the clock would tick very fast just so the day would come.That 18th birthday was when I would not only make my first shift but possibly also meet my mate. If I had known it would turn out that way, I would have prayed it never came. It was a nightmare that hunted me like a monster in the night.That day, everyone was gathered for my birthday, including the alpha and the luna, who decided to honor my parent's invitation, when the unexpected happened. An event that shook the entire pack.I should have transformed into my wolf form normally like other wolves, or maybe I shouldn't have shifted at all so everyone would see me as a late shifter, but the very worst was what happened right in front of their eyes. It should have happened somewhere else, but my fate was a cruel one, and everything had to play out in front of the Alpha and the Luna of this pack.When they all awaited my first shift into my wolf form, they saw me transform into one of their greatest enemies, the vampire.This was how it happened....As the sun began to set, everyone was gathered in the hall. We were drinking and laughing, with happiness and smiles on their faces as they enjoyed both the foods and wines to their fill. My friends and classmates were all around me, cracking jokes and making sure I laughed and enjoyed my day.But then I felt a sudden strange sensation in my body, as if something deep inside me was stirring to life.At first, I tried to ignore it. But it turned into a sharp pain that grew more intense until it became too much to bear, forcing me to scream. My little mind thought I was about to shift into my wolf, which is why I didn't run away. If I had known what I was about to transform into, I would have sped into the dark forest to prevent anyone from finding out, but I was ignorant.With force, I stumbled and fell to the ground heavily, writhing in the crushing pain as the snapping of my bones could be heard. The entire hall went into jubilation as they watched me and chirped among themselves happily."She is about to shift!""A new warrior is in the making!!" They were all happy that I was about to become a fully mature werewolf, but we were all wrong.My vision was blurry as I struggled to look at them, and I could see vaguely the huge smiles playing on their faces.Even my parents didn't come to my rescue, as it is the law to allow anyone having their first shift to be left alone to go through the pain once and for all.They all thought I was shifting into my wolf, but soon enough they realized I was becoming something entirely different.I could hear their wild outburst of screams as their eyes all fell on me. The hall went into chaos. Everyone watched in horror as my body began to transform before their eyes. My eyes were turning blood red, my fangs grew long and sharp, and my skin became pale and dead, with my veins pulsing and turning black as they ran through my arms and neck region.I let out a bloodcurdling scream as I completed my transformation. Instead of a wolf scent, I was emitting a potent vampire scent. Everyone backed away in shock and pure rage, and I was hearing the faint scream of my mother calling out my name.But then, I was lost in a haze of hunger and confusion. I could feel the darkness swirling inside me, urging me to seek out the one thing that could satisfy my craving: blood.Instinctively and like a mad dog, I lashed out at one of my friends, who was also the daughter of a pack hunter like my parent. I was driven by an uncontrollable thirst as I tackled her to the ground, pinning her beneath me. Her screams echoed through the hall and into my ears, yet I couldn't stop as I sank my fangs into her neck, drawing out her lifeblood.For a moment, I was lost in the ecstasy of feeding. I could feel her pulse pounding in my veins, and I drank deeply, savoring every drop.The metallic tang of blood filled my mouth, and I drank more, savoring the rush of power that came with each swallow.But as the last of her life drained away and she went limp, I came back to myself and recoiled in horror at what I had done. I trembled, petrified at the monster I had become, while staring at my best friend's lifeless body as my body went back to normal like nothing had happened.Elena was dead. I killed her. My childhood friend right in front of everyone."Your daughter is a vampire!!" The words rolled out of everyone's lips, growls of venom and rage from the Alpha tensing the room, and I knew that instant that all that had happened wasn't an illusion, nor was it in my head, but reality.I rose to my feet, weak and shivering as I shook my head, breathing heavily as tears burned and streamed down my face. I lifted my face to them and saw their once-happy and smiling faces all menacing and hateful."You are not the real father, then." The beta blurted at my father, and I saw it vividly as his face went pale and tears dropped for the first time. His lips were trembling as he turned to my mother, who stood there mute and lost, blinking and panting. "Is it true?" My dad's voice was breaking in and out, more tears prickling his eyes, but my mother won't say anything.The Beta rushed at her and gave her a sharp slap that snapped her face to the side, followed by a kick by the Alpha, who couldn't hold back his rage, forcing her to stumble and crash heavily on the wooden table packed with lots of cutlery and a ceramic plate still containing leftover foods, which splattered all over her face and body. She only let out a groan and whimper as tears poured down her face like rivers.The family and friends who were here for my birthday became the first to throw things at her and me, clamoring and shouting for us to be put to death for having connections with the vampires."Leave my daughter alone! She did no wrong! I am the evil one here. Hit me only and keep her out of this.." My mother yelled in an outburst of wails, crawling over to stop the men from hitting me, but she was kicked to the ground.My dad was just dumb, terrified, and fuming as he watched his mate in horror. The sharp, overwhelming shock of realizing you aren't the father of your only daughter after a good 18 years and that the real father was a vampire was really enough to shatter you into pieces, adding that you and your mate are hunters that should protect the pack from the wicked vampires."Leave my daughter alone!! I am paying with my life!" My mother shouted, and everyone paused for a second to understand what she meant.My mother rose, bruised and staggering, with a sharp, glistening knife in her hand. "Under the power of the moon goddess, I, Mara, the mother of Selene, sacrifice my life to prevent anyone from killing her daughter. Anyone who takes her life will bring an eternal curse to this pack!" She decreed, her sharp voice cutting through the entire hall, and everyone froze as they watched her in surprise as she stabbed herself continuously while looking straight at me with compassion in her eyes.Lightning and the roar of thunder cracked in as a sign that her oath was received. A huge smile appeared on her face as she directed it at me as she fell dead with a loud thud, blood gushing out of her chest.I screeched and rushed to where she lay lifeless as I whimpered uncontrollably, tugging at her to wake up. She can't just die like this and leave me all alone in this world without anyone to call a father or mother. Even the man I thought was my dad for 18 years had walked away after my mother killed herself. So I was left all alone to suffer this miserable fate.I was still there on the floor, mourning my mother, when chains were clutched around my hands and legs, and I was pulled away like a sheep to be slaughtered. That was how my life changed forever with only a single uncertain hope to cling on, my fated mate.Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be buried alive? How terrifying and torturous it could be like. When all your lives and memories come flashing through your eyes and you realize soon enough it will all be over. When your mind starts to wander and you begin to think about all the things you will never get to do again.You start to feel like you're slipping away, and you know that death is inevitable as the pain pierces deeper than you could bear, yet you can open your mouth to scream.This was the same nightmare I go through once every month, buried under the confinement and filled with wolfsbane potion mixed with silver. Being buried in this sizzling chemical as a werewolf was a horrifying experience that can induce a sense of dread in even the bravest souls.It was an ordeal that involved being trapped in a small, confined space with little to no room to move. The darkness and the silence can be suffocating, and the only thing that can be heard is the sound of one's own br
"Good evening, maam," I bowed in greetings, and she quickly covered her nose, twitching her face as she sneered at me and the room, which no matter how much I cleaned it would always look like a dungeon because everything was worn-out and crying for a change."You must be waiting for me and my husband to finish eating so you can go lick up our leftovers." She sniggered. "To save you the stress, we finished everything, so stop having hopes, little girl." she scowled and my heart sank into my stomach, tears prickling my eyes while I fought to push them back. She laughed scornfully and drew closer to me. I felt her mouth close to my ears as her hot breath fanned my neck, making me really irritated."I wasn't the one who made that horny whore mother of yours to open legs for vampires, So stop crying for me.." She whispered and burst into another derisive laughter, flipping her hair as she moved away from me.it was as if my heart was sliced with a thousand knives. Her words really hurt th
I was dressed up in my black hood, which I wore over my favorite round neckline gown that stopped right above my knees. It was my only gown without any torn parts but was quite oversized around the chest region, so the long jacket will do well to cover that. I had no good clothes anymore, as they had been either burned or thrown away by the Luna.According to her, I was a slave so I should look like one-tattered and haggard. All the clothes I brought from my parent's house were all gone and replaced by different kinds of old and badly sewn clothes that she brought for me. As I stood in front of the mirror, I felt frustrated, and a wave of defeat rushed through me like a wave. Anger pumped in my heart, and my legs both became weak and jelly. My reflection was far from a pleasant sight, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I was an eyesore. My skin hadn't been taken care of, so they almost looked pale and dead. The bones around my shoulders and jaw were all poking out of my tiny s
"Sienna, we are out! We are outside, away from that shit hole!" I screamed inwardly to my wolf, running as fast as my legs could carry me, tears of joy splattering over my face as I laughed cheerfully with my wolf, who seemed to be even happier than I was as it leaped and backflipped inside me with howls that had so much joy. "Yes!!! Yes!!! Baby! We did it! Just run faster to the village square, over to the forest, woods, rivers, and garden. We have a limited time, but we will enjoy it to the fullest!" She chirped, laughing for the first time, and I was amazed at how sweet I felt seeing her in such joy.Since she appeared inside me as my mate, life has never been pleasant for us. You know, the day I turned into a vampire was the day she was assigned to me as my wolf. It was a nightmare to her too, as she huddled in the corner, helplessly, watching me become something else instead of taking her form. She knew we were doomed for having the vampire gene, and I was really surprised she d
"You are not going to say anything?" He arched his brow, and as those words rolled out of his mouth like musical notes, his voice was deep and smooth, so smooth that you would feel like he were speaking into your soul.I gasped and smiled brightly, but he didn't even return the smile and instead let out a deep frown."What do you want me to say, handsome man?" I cooed, feeling the rush up my cheeks. I am sure they are like tomatoes right now."What are you doing here? Leave. I want to stay alone." He rasped, but I stepped closer to him, my eyes never leaving him. I really enjoyed how those eyeballs flinched and flickered from side to side as if there were lights in them."Isn't it surprising that you didn't know who I am? Every member of this pack knows me." I smirked and saw his brows furrow together as he cleared his throat and gave me a weird stare."Who says I don't know you? I just don't want to...."Shhhh," I placed my index finger on his lips, and he let out a growl, his frown d
"Huh? What is going on?" I mused, watching him take his eyes away from me. I was wondering if I was dreaming or having illusions, because this is far different from what vampires do to werewolves. Did he mean what he just said? That I should go away without any harm from a vicious vampire like him?Slowly, I stood up, staring intently at him in readiness to dodge any of his sudden attacks that I still believed would come. Vampires are very cunning and ruthless, and werewolves are one of those that they enjoy bullying with their special abilities. Even when I began to walk away, he didn't come for me, and he didn't even turn to glance at me. I don't know why I felt some kind of guilt for treating him like a monster when he meant no harm.But those are my silly thoughts. Vampires are evil, and the best thing for me to do now is leave this place as fast as I can."There she is!!!" A sudden voice burst loudly from a corner of the bush before I could dash off, and I quickly swirled to the
I stood there for some minutes, pondering what just happened with my eyes fixed on the exact spot he left from. I could still feel and hear the thumping of my heart, still accelerating real quick, as the image of his face was all that filled my mind like a dark cloud before rainfall.This was the first time I met a vampire, and it was still so hard to accept that he was one of them. Why was he tender to me? Why didn't he harm me or even allow anyone to hurt me? The young man literally saved me from being raped by those disgusting perverts. How possible is it that a vampire, our biggest enemy and rival, was the one who rescued me from my own people who tried to harm me. This is really ridiculous and doesn't seem real. The sun had set, and night was fast approaching. I mean, it was already dark, and if I don't get home in less than a minute, it is very likely that my absence will be noticed because once nightfalls, the next thing is to take me to the dungeon, where I will stay and awa
I scrubbed my eyes, shaking my head and staring intently at the body being dragged with each arm by the two bodyguards. Thick red blood was smearing in a straight line as her body trudged along the floor over to the front of the cage, where I was.Her face was bloody, but I could clearly recognize her as Joy, the girl who just left here after bringing food for me.They dropped her motionless body on the floor and unlocked the key of the cage before flinging her inside before locking the gate back, leaving me with Joy, who seemed to have been tortured and wounded so severely. Every part of her body, from head to toe, was bleeding, and her breath was shallow, forced, and hitched at intervals.She was dying."Joy!!" I shrieked, taking her into my arms and trying to wake her up, but the young girl doesn't seem like one to survive it anymore. Her eyes were closed, and apart from her heart, which was thumping, no other part of her was in motion. They had beaten her cruelly and in the most h
