"Argh argghhhh," Lucy yelled as she ran with every strength she had got.
As Lucy ran faster, she felt really scared. Fear made her heart beat faster and her body trembled. She wanted to escape so badly, feeling like she had to survive no matter what.
Her heart raced as she dashed through the bushes. She could hear the other wolves chasing after her, their scary growls echoing through the woods. It reminded her how dangerous the situation was.
Lucy was sweating a lot, and tears mixed with the dirt on her face. She kept running, even though she was getting really tired. Breathing was hard, and her legs felt heavy, like they might give out at any moment.
Fear gripped her heart as she realized she was being pursued, the sound of snapping twigs and heavy panting growing louder with each passing moment.
She turned her head to notice the wolves that were after her and could see they were closer than before. Their howls and growls grew louder as if they were ready to pounce on her the moment they catch up with her.
With adrenaline coursing through her veins, Lucy ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Branches whipped against her skin, leaving stinging welts in their wake. She could feel the hot breath of the wolves on her heels, their snarls sending shivers down her spine.
Her chest heaving with exertion, Lucy chanced a glance over her shoulder and saw the glint of yellow eyes in the darkness. They were gaining on her, their predatory instincts driving them forward with relentless determination. Panic surged within her, threatening to overwhelm her senses.
Just when Lucy thought she couldn't run any longer, a shadowy figure emerged from the trees ahead. The newcomer was a wolf, but unlike the ones chasing her, this one seemed to radiate a sense of calm and strength.
Without hesitation, the mysterious wolf lunged at Lucy's pursuers, his growls echoing through the forest. He fought with a ferocity that took Lucy's breath away, his movements fluid and precise as he dispatched each of the wolves with ease.
But in the chaos of the battle, Lucy stumbled over a root hidden beneath the undergrowth. With a cry of alarm, she tumbled to the ground, her head connecting with a sharp rock with a sickening thud.
Stars danced before Lucy's eyes as she lay dazed on the forest floor. The world spun around her, and she struggled to regain her bearings. Through the haze of pain and confusion, she could barely make out the sound of footsteps approaching.
Still against all odds, the lone wolf, with a primal roar, the savior wolf launched itself at Lucy's pursuers, teeth bared and claws slashing through the air with deadly precision. The forest erupted into chaos as the two packs clashed, snarls and yelps mingling with the rustle of leaves and the crackle of underbrush.
Despite the odds stacked against him, the savior wolf fought with unmatched ferocity, his movements a blur of strength and agility as he defended Lucy from harm. With each swipe of his claws and snap of his jaws, he drove back their assailants, refusing to yield to the relentless onslaught.
For what seemed like an eternity, the battle raged on, the air thick with the scent of blood and the sound of combat. But finally, as the last of Lucy's would-be attackers lay vanquished at their feet, the savior wolf turned to her, his eyes locking with hers in a silent exchange of gratitude.
"Are you alright?" a voice asked, filled with concern.
Lucy blinked away the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes and looked up to see the shadowy figure of the wolf standing over her. His features were obscured by the dim light filtering through the trees, but his voice was gentle and reassuring.
"I think so," Lucy murmured, wincing as she gingerly touched the tender spot on her head.
The wolf extended a paw to help Lucy to her feet, and she gratefully accepted his assistance. As she rose unsteadily to her feet, she couldn't help but notice the warmth of his touch, the strength of his presence comforting her in a way she couldn't quite explain.
"Thank you," Lucy said softly, her voice filled with genuine gratitude.
The wolf nodded in response, his eyes softening with understanding. There was a moment of silence between them, the only sound of the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze.
But before Lucy could gather her thoughts and ask the wolf his name, the lone wolf soon stretched out Lucy's arm and opened his mouth wide in an attempt to bite her but Lucy screamed out loud and at that moment, the world around her began to fade. Colors bled together, and the sounds of the forest grew distant until they were nothing more than a whisper on the wind.
With a start, Lucy realized she was waking up. The dream was slipping away from her, leaving behind only fragments of memory and a lingering sense of wonder.
As consciousness returned, Lucy found herself lying on the floor, the early morning light filtering through the curtains. She rubbed her eyes and shook her head, trying to shake off the remnants of the dream that still clung to her mind.
But even as she struggled to make sense of what she had experienced, one thing remained clear in Lucy's thoughts—the mysterious wolf who had come to her rescue, yet wanted to bite her.
She shook her head, trying to know what the dream was all about. She tried to recall the face of the lone wolf but she could not.
"He couldn't have been my mate, my mate won't make any attempt to do me harm," She whispered and ran her fingers through her hair. She stretched out her arms and strived to get up on her feet.
"Lucy, Lucy...where have you been," Marie barged in
Lucy took a brief look at her and looked away, dusting the dirt off her clothes.
"Lucy, I've been searching all over the place for you... Isabella asked of you as you haven't reported to the Royal residence," Marie exhaled with her hands on either side of her waist.
"Why would you be searching for me,"
"Why are you even here... why are your clothes dirty," Marie questioned with curiosity.
Lucy pondered about her words and eventually wandered around with her eyes.
"How, how did I get here... where am I?"
"I don't know, you tell me," Marie responded. "This room has been abandoned for years, you could see how dirty it is, jam-packed with cobwebs," Marie shrugged, making gestures with her hands.
'How did I get here... I don't know what's going on with me, I have to find Katherine,' she thought to herself.
Without saying another word, she walked out of the room, leaving Marie behind.
Lucy hurried through the bustling field of the Moonshine pack, her heart pounding in her chest as she made her way back to the Royal residence where Isabella, the adopted daughter of the Alpha, resided. The events of the past few hours swirled through her mind like a whirlwind, leaving her feeling disoriented and on edge.As she approached the doorstep of Isabella, Lucy's steps faltered for a moment, her mind filled with apprehension at the thought of facing Isabella's wrath. She knew she had acted recklessly, disappearing for a few hours without reporting back to her post and without a word to anyone and she braced herself for the scolding she was sure to receive.But as she entered through the doorstep, her fears were realized when she came face to face with Isabella, who stood waiting for her with a stern expression on her face. "Lucy," she chided, her voice tinged with frustration, "where have you been? You know better than to wander off without permission."Lucy hung her head, u
With Alpha Eric standing in front of her, Lucy felt her heart drop to her stomach. She felt a chill run down her spine as his massive, menacing form stood tall in the doorway, his stern eyes locked on her.Lucy realized at that very instant that she was in serious jeopardy. Lucy," Alpha Eric's voice boomed, cutting through the silence like a thunderclap. "What is the meaning of this?"Lucy's throat went dry as she struggled to form a coherent response. She could feel the weight of his gaze bearing down on her, his piercing eyes seeming to bore into her very soul. She knew that she had to choose her words carefully, for any misstep could spell disaster."Alpha Eric," she began, her voice trembling slightly despite her efforts to maintain composure. "I... I was just..."But before she could finish her sentence, Alpha Eric's expression hardened into a mask of displeasure."Save your excuses, Lucy," he snapped, his voice cutting like a knife through the air. "I will not tolerate this act
Lucy ran with every strength she'd got, crashing through the bushes and tall grasses of the forest, stumping on dried leaves and branches so that they made some creaking sounds. She peeked behind her, constantly as she made an effort to lose the guards that ran after her. She gasped and breathed heavily, holding on to the wish to outrun them. It was either to stop and be captured or run and stay alive. She could hear the sound of their footsteps which became more audible as she ran. The sound of their growls was scary enough to make her quiver and made her have thoughts of what might happen if she was to be caught She merely escaped from the Moonshine pack where she had to labor as a handmaid in the Royal residence of Alpha Eric and Luna Ava. Though she didn't work directly for them but for their daughter, Isabella. Though Isabella was not the biological daughter of Alpha Eric. She was the daughter of his Beta who died alongside him with his mate during a war. Alpha Eric had to tak
Lucy opened her eyes which were still blurry. She shook her head swiftly as she endeavored to notice all that surrounded her. Being oblivious to her surroundings, it took her a while before she detected the iron door that was fixed to the wall, keeping her from breaking out, and the dried leaves that were strewn all over the ground. She was struck with fear when a rat squeaked by, climbing over her back. She moved with great rapidity and with a sudden sharp scream. Her legs dangled, scattering the leaves as she crawled hurriedly and leaned her back against the wall. She gasped for breath as it took a toll on her. "Hey, Katherine... You're here," She whispered, her heart racing faster than usual, and maneuvered hastily to where Katherine was. She was unconscious, she tilted her head swiftly so she opened her eyes but it was all in vain. Her head bleeds and there were spots on her face, so obvious that anyone could tell she received an intensified beating. Katherine was the one who as
Lucy walked under the fiery sun, sweating profusely as she made her way to the room where she was kept with Katherine. She hurried away without stopping not until she bumped into Isabella who was already standing in her way. She shrugged and immediately bowed her head. "Where are you off to in such a hurry," Isabella smirked and dared to reach out for her jaw, lifting her head slightly upward so she would make eye contact with her. Lucy struggled as she didn't want that but received a resounding slap that weakened her, causing her eyes to become fuzzy. "You look at me when I'm talking to you," Isabella vocalized with a sharp tone. Lucy slowly raised her head high up and stared at Isabella, solemnly with a straight face. She was angered, every instinct of her body telling her to fight back but she decided to keep her calm. Her eyes caught Marie who stood behind Isabella. Marie fixed her eyes on her for a moment but then, Lucy was smart enough to read the look on her face as it gav
"How could I perceive this scent, how is this possible," Lucy said in a low tone with her lips partly apart. "I don't even have my wolf yet," She pondered as she trod along the path which the scent she perceived had taken her to. She watched back and forth to see if anyone was following her trail as she could not be found roaming about in such a restricted area. The scent became stronger and soon sensed it must be Leo. She was brought to a stop when she got to a balcony that looked like an abandoned site. She sighted no one but yet, it was the place the scent stopped. She proceeded stealthily without her foot, making a slight sound. "Leo,' She uttered with a soft voice when she sighted him, standing only a few strides away from her. He looked fit in his black jacket and black jeans as he seemed to stand in a stance. "Lucy, you are here, how come," Leo said as he turned around to notice her. Lucy didn't get what he meant by his words, rather, she rushed at him and embraced him firml
Lucy walked sluggishly along the path that led to the meadow where she was stationed. Uncontrollable tears rolled down her cheek as she could not fathom what happened between him and Leo but yet, strived to put on a smile on her face when a few guards passed by. Thought of Leo rejecting her pestered her mind, having a nostalgic recollection of the plans she made after figuring out he was her mate. "I'm lost, why did he do it… Like he was scared of his Father," She whispered, silently and rubbed the tears on her face. She bowed her head and strolled away hurriedly when a guard approached her. "Father, I don't know what to do… I'm never getting out of here," She shut her eyes and gulped. Her heart raced, chest lingering upward and downward, so apparent that anyone could notice her restlessness. She was oblivious to her surroundings and didn't see Isabella already standing in her way. She walked into her and at that instant, apologized for not being watchful. She was about to take
The sun lurked around the clouds as it dimmed its light and was about to settle down. Marie grunted and raised her head slightly to notice Lucy whose back was also bent, with a spade in her hand, packing horse dung into a bucket and disposing of them in another spot a long distance away from where they were. They'd been there for hours as the guard who ordered them to follow him decided to punish them both for disobeying his command. Marie had been taking a brief look at Lucy but she wasn't looking her way and didn't notice her. Marie had been waiting for an opportunity to speak with Lucy but couldn't find the right time as Lucy was busy all through without even making a sound. Marie stood upright and yawned her back behind her back, stretching herself. She whimpered as she felt a slight pain right in her lower back. She stared at Lucy who wouldn't even raise her head and take a break from working endlessly for hours. She took a few steps towards Lucy but discontinued when she sig
