I woke just outside my small hut, naked and cold, my entries body burning in agony from the changing. I hated the pain of the morning after, but waking up alone and scared was the worst part of all. I couldn’t handle the feeling of solitude any longer as I pulled myself from the ground, a strange scratch showing allow my lower chest. Had I gotten into a fight?
Shaking my head in anger I stumbled into my hut, quickly moving towards the spare pair of clothes in the corner, why must I always wake with no clothes? Surely that was the worst part of the transformation, waking in the nude where the whole pack could see my virtue. The pain I had gotten used to, but I could never grow used to being naked in the middle of the village; that was too much.
Truthfully I couldn’t decide what the worst part was, all I knew is that I hated everything about the transformation
“Yes, I will marry you.”He rushed towards me wish a glistening smile spread across his bulky features, ripping from the ground as though I weighed nothing and spun me around in the air. Pulling me towards him I was embraced in my first kiss, the taste of fresh blood on his lips. I sunk into the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck as he cradled me, holding me tightly in his arms. I sighed happily when he finally pulled away, feeling as though I could finally be happy, more so than I had ever been before. He placed me onto the ground and took a step back, watching me so intently that I feared I may have had a zit or a scar on my face.He cleared his throat, shaking his head as he ran a hand through his tangled hair. “Apologies. I fear that I lost control for a moment.”I mimicked his movements, at first unsure what to say. &l
A sharp sound pounded towards my ears as I shot awake, my heart thumping recklessly against my chest as Terious stirred beside me, slowly awaking from his slumber. Had someone come to finish the job they had started a few weeks ago, just after I had fully recovered from the poison? I bit my bottom lip, pulling the blanket up to my chin as I attempted to ignore it, passing it off as nothing other than my terror getting the best of me.I jumped to my feet when the thundering clang sounded once more, the alpha finally waking as I stumbled to get dressed; knowing that we needed to find out where the sound was coming from. I couldn’t ignore it anymore as several more echoing shots rang out, filling my ears with a strange ringing. Was it one of the other tribes coming to settle a feud? The humans? Who was attacking us in the dead of night?“Terious, I’m scared.&rd
So that’s why they were attacking, they knew what we were. But how? Who had informed the humans that we exited here, and how did they find us? Something clicked within my mind. The doctor. The doctor must have told them we were here. No one else knew where we were. Traitor, I growled, knowing that the human doctor was responsible for my people being attacked and shot down.The men jumped back, recoiling as I growled, the man sat in front of me moving back in fear. Funny, I thought, that they are more afraid of me than I am of them. But if so, why had they come?“Calm down. We are not going to harm you.” The man who sat not far from murmured, his eyes wide as he watched me for a response. Believing that I would attack him.“Where is Terious?!” I snarled, finding a strength from deep within me I lunged, scratching the man&r
I groaned, stirring against the harsh florescent light, my eyes burning as they fought to adjust, the sudden change in atmosphere clear to me as i tried to move; my entire frame bound by something I couldn’t see. I opened my eyes again, nervously waiting for them to adjust to the knew light, immediately searching for something that i could use to free myself. After a moment i sighed heavily, the glossy white room was completely bare except for the floating bed i was bound to, strange wires disappearing into my arm through a small incision. I quickly began to panic, my heart thumping in reckless motions, where was I?I screamed, thrashing against the bed as i remembered what had happened, the world had suddenly turned black and I was taken to a strange place. Bound and locked in a strange room with no door. But where was Terious? He had promised to return for me, to come back when he had saved our people. Only their w
The strangers left, once again leaving me alone in the strange room, my heart continuing to pound as I cried for my father, for Terious and for all of my people, praying that they were okay and well. That they were alive somewhere and that one day, i would get back to them.But for now... I didn’t know what was going to become of me.I groaned, unable to sleep as the strange wires tugged on my arms, leaving me in vast amounts of pain. I turned my head to look at them, small amounts of blood trickling from the wound that they had created, the pain becoming unbearable. And yet, I was too afraid to call out for help, nor signal what I know realised to a camera; and I highly doubt that any human would come to help. It had been hours since I had seen anyone and longer since I had a meal, my stomach pleading with me to eat as it groaned in hung
“No, not blind, but I do struggle to see.” She explained, amused by my confusion.The silence stretched out for a long while as Lisa wrote down notes on her clipboard, quickly checking me out as I watched; unsure of what to say. She eventually stopped writing when she looked at the wires in my arm, noticing the blood that trickled from the wound; her eyes widening.“What has happened to the IV?” she asked, tapping her bed against the metal bars on the bed.“IV?” I asked, frowning as I failed to understand her question.“The tubes that are in you arm 627.” Lisa grimaced at the sight of blood oozing from the wires, her skin paling slightly.“I don’t know what happened.” I replied honestly, “they just began to
“I don’t know.” I murmured, “its been a while.”“Try.” James snapped, pulling me from the bed. “We don’t have time for 'I don’t know'. You need to move.”I stumbled and dropped into my knees, my legs swaying when I stood, unable to hold my own weight. I grunted as my back hit what looked like a stand, the strange metal holding the bed in the air, and though it seemed unstable it had held my weight just fine. I turned my head to look up at James and sighed, knowing that he required me to walk, but also that I couldn’t do so. Not after being bound to the bed for what felt like weeks, even as I knew it to be only days; after all, I wouldn’t be able to survive for weeks without food or water.My stomach once again rumbling as my mouth went dry, praying that wherever they were ta
After the doctor had finished patching me up, he ran a few tests, but told me that it was all routine. Though I doubted that sticking a sharp thing that he called a needle into my arm and taking blood from me was routine, I sighed, steadily being carried back to the strange room they continued to leave me locked in. Why must they treat me this way? I wasn’t a danger to them or anyone else. I was just a wolf when the moon was full, not all of the time like some others from the village, I couldn’t change at will; to do so took a great skill, one that I never possessed.“You oddly quiet 627. What is the matter? Missing your alpha?” James mocked, opening the part of the wall that allowed you to enter what I believed to be my cell.“Yes.”, I responded sharply, crossing my arms as he placed me onto the floor.He smiled sa
