Morning came already and the cell was bright with light. It was time for the competition and we both pretended not to know each other. I was in for the competition and she was also in for the competition...
I erased yesterday's emotional moment from my head because I knew that one of us must survive. I had to prove a point to these monsters that I was no weak female competitor.
Walking outside, I found the pack chanting Lillian's name. She had been the reigning human champion so it wasn't surprising that they wanted her to win.
On a normal day, I would feel discouraged by their chants for the other opponent but I wasn't feeling that way.
"Are you up for this?" The man, who seemed like the instigator of the competition, slowly asked and I ignored him.
"Mr Jason, that's what they call him." Jake whispered to me before he quickly walked away.
Jason walked to the middle and showed everyone a knife on the ground. "This is how the game is played." He began with a broad smile on his face.
"This is not a game but a deathmatch." I reminded him, angrily. I didn't know where that boldness came from but I was just too upset to think.
He narrowed his eyes at me and frowned. "You won't be alive to repeat another word," he threatened and looked at Lilian. I knew he didn't like me instantly because of his words but I didn't know why. They all wanted me to lose except Jake.
"One of you has to pick this knife first before the match will fully start. After picking the knife, aim for your opponent and attack. Bring out any body parts from your dead opponent." He explained and my heart raced.
He didn't expect me to rip the body open, did he? "That's gross." I remarked.
He frowned at my last remark and laughed. "You're in no condition for negotiation or description."
I looked at Lillian who grinned at me, I couldn't believe she agreed to this. How can she agree to something like this? "I love this Jason." She said with a bright smile on her face that showed her excitement.
Running towards her, I grabbed her by the leg and she fell down, her pupils gleamed with a brutal light, and the savagery contained within us was more than enough to silence any man. She pushed me off her body and went for the knife, I kicked her making her fall with a loud thud.
We both stood up and she punched me in the throat making me choke, she gave me a punch in my jaw and kicked my stomach, I groaned in pain and flipped her over. She flew for a second and landed on the ground, wincing in pain.
I kicked her in the knees and grabbed her head snapping it to the ground, she winced in pain and she got hold of the knife.
Jake blew a whistle which symbolized the starting of the match. As I punched her, she left a slash on my collarbone. "We shouldn't do this." I told her as I winced in pain.
"I love it," She whispered and chuckled. "You think I would be building up myself and skills for more than a year to lose?" She asked and flung me and I landed on the ground face-fit, and my mouth flooded with sand.
Bruised, I spat out the sand from my mouth. My stomach churned as I struggled to my feet, wiping my chin with the back of one arm.
By now, the cheers from the crowd grew louder and I wondered why they were satisfied seeing two humans fighting for survival.
She charged for me faster than I would've thought was possible and carried me with her two legs, flinging me to the other side.
I landed with a falling splash and a round of cheers erupted from the crowd.
Groaning, I managed to stand up. I found the sharp big knife on the floor and moved forward. Dropping to a knee, I held her by the hair and smashed her face into the knife with a warning noise.
Everyone gasped. With thick blood running down her face, she tried to get out of my grasp but I wailed punches on her face, blood caking her knuckles.
Picking the knife up, I slashed it across her throat. A trickle of red liquid squirted out of the wound in a quick blink, drenching me.
I stared at her dead body and attacked her body looking for the body parts that are easier to take. My fingers yanked the body parts and blood slashed across my face.
Blinking, I looked up for the first time and saw all eyes on me with mixed emotions on their faces.
Slicing into her stomach, a ripple of liquid squirted out, splashing on my upper body.
Cutting through the tissues and fibers, I found the pancreas and dropped it on the floor. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I dropped the knife on the ground too, I had killed Lilian.
What did I just do for survival? Why did I come to the werewolf pack?
They began chanting my name and I looked at Jason, he was shocked. His expression said it all, he already hated me.
He walked towards me and put on a light expression with a smile which I knew was fake. "You did well." He commended.
"Jason, I'll never forgive you even in death." I told him.
He chuckled. "I didn't kill her, you killed her with your hands." He told me and I ignored him and joined the rest of the pack.
He turned and faced the whole pack. "I'm sure we all know the reason why we are gathered here today," he spoke into the microphone as he cleared his throat and fixed up his tie.
Tess walked towards me with a smile on her face and she whispered. "You did a great job."
"Shut your mouth, you never told me that this was required." I snapped, angrily.
"Quiet ladies!" Jason ordered in a more stern and authoritative voice. "We have chosen two students to leave this pack and go to the Werewolf Academy so that they can prepare for the blood moon."
"What's a blood moon?" I asked Tess in a low tone.
"Be quiet, you won't understand" She answered and grinned at me. "But wait, who do you think he's going to choose?"
I raised an eyebrow in surprise. "C'mon, I just got here yesterday. How am I supposed to know who he is going to choose when I'm not even a werewolf?"
She sighed, frustratedly. "Yeah, you're right."
"You guys would be going to the Werewolf Academy where the rich and strongest Werewolf attend. Even the cursed Alpha is a student of the Werewolf Academy."
I grinned at her. "The cursed Alpha!"
She nudged me with an elbow. "Pay attention to the details."
"And the two people who would be leaving the pack tonight are," he paused and looked around the crowd. I knew he wouldn't choose me because I was not a Werewolf and I wasn't even ready to go anywhere.
His eyes suddenly found mine and he made eye contact.
"Hailey and Tricia." He announced and my heart shrieked with fear.
Few hours later, I had packed my clothes into my bag and taken it to the bus. I couldn't wait to get to the Werewolf Academy but I'll definitely miss my brother and maybe Tess because I didn't understand her behavior lately. Kayden was already crying as I arranged my bag beneath some bags to make sure it was secured and safe. I could see the tears in his eyes, he definitely didn't want to be separated from me. "Sis, don't go," he pleaded and I wiped his tears with my hands. "I'll miss you so much, you're the only one I have left."How could I tell him that if I didn't go they'd kill him? I definitely had to go to the Werewolf Academy to find out about them. I patted his back and smiled at him. "Kayden, I'm doing this for us and I'm sure I'll come back stronger to save you. I love you and nothing will ever get us separated."He nodded and hugged me.It felt so comfortable that I didn't want that moment to end. I wanted to cry but I managed to stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks
"What are you doing here?" He asked and quickly grabbed a towel which he used to cover his nakedness."Can I come in?"No, why did I ask that question?He nodded and I sat on the bed. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize someone would meet me in that state. You're Hailey right?" He inquired and I nodded."And you're?""Kyle... Kyle Brandon." He stammered, nervous. It seemed I was already popular even before arriving. "Almost everyone seemed to know me, what happened? How's that possible?""The whole school was informed of your arrival and since we decided to take you in, we were informed earlier." He explained.Sounds great! He was the son of my kind adopted Werewolf parents. "Huh, thanks for taking me in." He smiled cheekily. "Now, I don't regret it, you truly are beautiful." I knew he wasn't the Cursed Alpha because he was gentle and kind. He was the type of guy any girl would want to be mated with. "Thanks for the compliment.""Where's your sister?" I inquired."Still at the Academy, I
I placed my hand on the knob and took a deep breath before opening it. When I walked into the classroom, all eyes fell on me.The teacher pointed at my seat and they all gazed at me. It even felt mode awkward when she referred to me as 'Human'After she ordered me to introduce myself, I cleared my throat. "My name is Hailey Marquis, I'm friendly and nice,""And you're beautiful." One of the boys at the back chipped in and I smiled."Thank you," I murmured, loud enough for them to hear me.I occupied the middle seat in the classroom which was at the back. It didn't take long for my mind to leave the class.I began to think about the student I was told to avoid. I was specifically told to avoid Alice because she was a bully.I noticed the guy in front of me was kinda gentle so I talked to him. "Hi, can I have the seminar summary?" "What seminar?""Huh, I was told by a teacher that you guys conducted a seminar last week and I would have wanted to see it."He smiled awkwardly. "Oh, it's
Thirty minutes later, I knew I was doomed. I had failed to mark my attendance and I was definitely going to be sent to the woods to die. No, why was I sent to the Werewolf Academy? Did they send me here to kill me? I managed to stop myself from crying.I sprang up to my feet as soon as I heard the toilet door open. "Who's there?" I shouted but when there was no response, I continued. "Someone help me, I was locked in here. Please help me."Finally, someone unlocked the door from outside and I found Zoe staring at me shocked. "What happened? How did you get locked in this toilet? What happened?" She asked, concerned."I don't know but I feel someone locked me in here and I'm suspecting that devil."She took a deep breath. "Nah, I don't think it's Tristan. I don't think he would even have that time to be in a female's restroom."Then who did that? It wasn't even my major concern, I just wanted to find out about the attendance event. "What about...."She cut in, she seemed to know what
When I opened my eyes, I noticed that it was getting dark already but where was I?I got up and looked at the small room with fear in my heart. Was I kidnapped already? Who could have brought me here? Staring round the small room, I could feel my heart rising awkwardly. Suddenly, the door opened and a guy walked inside and stared at me.I didn't know if I could describe the handsome and sexy god in front of me but I definitely did want to. He was half-naked and his body was smooth and sexy. His face was the most handsome face I've ever seen and I wasn't going to argue on that. Who is he? And why is he so cute? I didn't even know if he was a vampire or a werewolf. "What am I doing here?" I suddenly found my voice back as he continued staring at me. He ignored me and placed a bowl on the floor before he answered. "I saw your almost lifeless body and used my powers to bring you back to life."How was it possible? How was he able to bring me back to life? Was he the Cursed Alpha?"Than
For a minute, I was discouraged and sad. "Why don't you want to pick me?" I questioned.He gave me a cold stare, "You're someone no wolf would want to pick," he mocked and closed the door. "You're useless," He finally insulted.My heart shattered into pieces as I let the tears roll down my cheeks as he said those words.He continued. "I can't take you as a mate. I'll rather stay here in the woods than take one of my biggest enemies as a mate."I frowned at his words. How was I one of his biggest enemies? "What are you saying? I'm nobody's enemy."The light smile playing at the corner of his lips faded immediately. "You're a human and humans are the people I'm desperate to kill, I'm even surprised at how I haven't killed you yet but believe me, I'll make you suffer and regret your existence on earth."How could one hate humans when they've not done anything to him? His eyes glared as he said those words that I became scared of him. "Humans have done nothing to you," I suddenly found m
As we walked into the class, I spotted him behind my chair. Oh no, why would he stay there? "OMG, he's so cute." Zoe whispered to me in excitement.I thought people didn't want him to pick them as their mate. Why were they confused and happy to see him bacPersonally, I didn't know what I felt seeing him back in the academy. It was his own cup of tea and I definitely got over hiAs soon as we occupied our seat, Zoe began her flirting mission with a seductive smile on her face. "Hey Blake, we've all missed you here but I miss you more. How has it beenI didn't care about their conversation, righI was starting to get unsure of myself as I strained my ears to hear them. "I just decided to come back for a while before I go back for my next punishment." He told he"I've missed you, aren't you going to pick a mate already?I heard his loud chuckle that sounded like he was not really into the conversation. "I already have someone in mind that I want to pick, she's amazing and wonderfulMy h
As soon as we reached home, I went straight into my room and removed my clothes. Staring at my naked body in the mirror, I smiled. I still had that perfect shape I always maintained. I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. After cleaning my body with a towel, I slipped into one of the dresses I found in the wardrobe.It was a skin tone dress that was fit and short but I couldn't deny the fact that it was beautifully designed. Glancing at the full size mirror, I shook my head negatively, the dress would definitely get a lot of attention at the party and I didn't want that. As I was about to look for another dress, I heard a knock on the door and went to open it. Zoe walked in, looking at me from head to foot with admiration written all over her face. She wiggled her eyebrows and I chuckled at her gesture."You sure look great!" She exclaimed.I shook my head and closed the door after her quietly. "It's too much, I don't like it."She widened her eyes in shock. "What the act
