As soon as I reached my mom's room, I found her going through a few books. My mom was beautiful, calm, and kind-hearted. To my shame, she resembled my sister more than me. Both my sister and Mom had dark hair and dark eyes
No wonder I was called a freak. My hair color and eyes were different from the rest
“You came early today… no tests” my mom asked without even turning around. With a smile, I rushed to her and hugged her from behind.
“Sweet mother, you know I can't stay away from you,” I said, tightening my grip around her. The reason I didn't want to go was because of my mom and sister.
These two meant the world to me. Leaving so soon was hurting me… I had to take care of them both. Who knew what would happen if I left
“Young lady, do you need anything?” Mom asked and shrugged me away. Of course, she knew me very well.
“Mom…come” Grabbing her hand I led her to the sofa. She sat down gracefully and I did the same. Looking at her, she seemed worried. I wanted to ask but dropped the idea
“Is this about moving to the…”
“No, mom… that's not it… I wondered… well, hypothetically asking” I said, cutting her off, her brows creased questionably, and I knew what she was thinking.
“Mom, why does the alpha king need a virgin female… I mean, why here… I thought all werewolves preferred breeding with their kind” This had always been my question, in human books I read about werewolves… most of them mated with their kind. It was a crime to mate outside the clan
“Sweetie… those are traditions…the alpha king is a special being… his mate has to be pure and untouched by other men,” my mom said, cupping my face, her smile was beautiful and warm. The glimmer in her eyes made me feel relaxed. Unfortunately, I didn't think so.
“So…what happens if… well, his betrothal loses her virginity,” I asked hesitantly and the expression I got from her made me rethink my question.
“Young lady,” Mom said, widening her eyes as if suspicious of me.
“Relax… I'm asking on behalf of a friend… well, we were arguing about myths…so… I”
“The alpha has to choose another female and…” Mom was about to explain when the door suddenly opened. Both of us shifted our gaze to whoever entered without knocking and
“Hi auntie… Dad requested to see you” it was Grace said cheekily. She didn't even wait for my mom's reply and left.
“Before you go….well, since I won't be around… mom, my human friends…”
“There's a birthday party right… you can go… say goodbye and come back safely” Mom said without even me explaining to her. All I did was hug her for a little while, and then she left. The door closed and I sat there.
“Yes!” this was what I wanted to hear… It seemed there was still time for me to escape this
“Elina, it's time to lose your V-card, “I muttered, smiling to myself. At last, I found a solution. If I wasn't a virgin. Of course, they wouldn't want me. Then I was certain Jasmine would be the replacement.
Thinking up here, I knew what to do.
It seemed going to the party tomorrow night was my chance, any human male will be okay as long as I lost my virginity.
"But…" I walked to the dressing mirror. "This…" I ran my fingers on the dark mark from the previous night, the fang marks didn't disappear. Whoever that werewolf was, I hated him.

In a grand and opulent mansion, adorned with ornate detailing and surrounded by perfectly manicured gardens, stood a magnificent structure that exuded elegance and extravagance. The exterior walls shimmered in the golden light, cascading a sense of importance and mystery to those who beheld it.
In the heart of this unparalleled residence, the study room boasted towering bookshelves lined with leather-bound volumes, emitting an air of intellect and sophistication. The room was dimly lit, with richly patterned curtains swinging gently with the faint breeze. The soft glow from a chandelier overhead illuminated a large wooden table, where a masked man dressed entirely in black sat, his presence emanating both power and intrigue.
"Alpha," his right hand walked in and bowed respectfully.
"Did you find her?" He asked, his eyes narrowed into slits. Tension permeated the air as his assistant hesitated, his gaze locked onto the ground. He took a deep breath, gathering his courage, before informing him that they were still hunting for any trace of the elusive girl.
"We lost track of her…not even her scent could be detected," he replied, this was the first time he had seen such a thing. A girl with such a unique scent.
"You didn't find her? Then what the fuck are you doing here!" A muffled rage resonated through the Alpha's voice as he slammed his hand onto the polished surface of the table, causing the assistant to involuntarily flinch. The sound echoed as a proclamation of his frustrations and the urgency of his mission.
"I…we.."
His dark eyes bore into the assistants, their fire reflecting a mixture of anger, determination, and a trace of hidden emotion. The Alpha's voice, raw and commanding, resonated within the room, cutting through the silence.
"Find her," he declared firmly, emphasizing each word. "Leave no stone unturned, no shadow unexplored. I want her brought to me." That night he had important things to attend to. But he didn't know a little girl would have such a huge impact on him
"Yes alpha," The assistant, trembling slightly, nodded in understanding and silently vowed to carry out the Alpha's. He knew the fate that awaited those who failed to fulfill his demands.
"Prepare for tonight," the alpha ordered and rose to his feet. His right hand glanced up in confusion.
"Alpha, tonight…it's the full moon…I'm afraid," he started, not sure how to say it. The Alpha's gaze shifted to the window, night was approaching. The distant howling of wolves reminded him of what was approaching.
"Be on the lookout," he said sternly and his right hand retreated from the study..as the room remained quiet. Angel slowly reached for his chest.
"Damn it," he let out curses as he sat down, he wanted that girl at all costs. His wolf was getting restless. He wanted her to devour her and take her. This was strange.
Elina was more than happy. Dressed in a black leather mini skirt reaching mid-thigh high with a matching strapless crop shirt. The black ankle boots went with the outfit. The small crop shirt showed off her toned belly, her blonde hair falling to her waist in waves.“Woah!” various screams erupted in the room even though the music was loud. Elina shyly made her way inside the club. The club in particular had an attached hotel. Hazel told her it had rooms where most lovers took shelter whenever they drank more than they should have. She had no idea that Andy was throwing her birthday bash in such a place.“What's up baby girl… looking hot” one of the guys passed commented when she walked right past them.“Hey, Elina… how about a dance” one of them blocked her way. With ease, Elina brushed her hair off her face and looked at the boy busy trying to flirt with her.“Melvin… are you seriously trying,” she said, arching her brows at him. The music was too loud and the many boys dancing with
Thunderstorms brought the ugliest memories, the heavy pounding of rain on the roof made it sound like the roof was about to cave in. The coldness from the wind made it hard for Elina to think."No…let me go!" She screamed her lungs out as she struggled to breathe."Mine!" Growls erupted from the man's blood-filled mouth. Her fragile form was trapped beneath the half-naked man."Ahh! This…this is a mistake…let go!" The icy feeling in her heart extended deep into her bones. No matter how she screamed, begged, and kicked. She was still in the man's hold."Little one ... .you better…keep still," the man moaned, this time he loosened his grip on her, and Elina felt cold fingers tracing on her belly. Sucking in her breath. She recalled that voice."No…no…please…" she pleaded as her eyes opened, it was dark and she couldn't see the person's face. But why was his touch making her feel hot all over?“Ahh!” A loud cry left her trembling lips when her clothes were ripped off her body together wit
“Huh…what the heck happened to you” it was even worse. Something disgusting, which I found when I woke up. I was in a dirty room, lying in bed naked. I didn't recall anything. Nor did I know the cabin I found myself in? The room was small and things were broken and lying all over the floorI was frightened. Afraid of what happened to me. But I saw it was morning. I had to run. To go home before anyone noticed I didn't sleep at home.“Elina… this is terrible” Violet's voice jerked me back to my senses only to realize I had been sitting on the floor weeping like a five-year-old. I was doomed, nothing went right, and now I had to answer to my cousin who happened to find me when I came in.“I… I don't know, okay… I don't know” I didn't know anything. All I recalled was red eyes and nothing else. I tried to recall something to help me understand the situation more… Unfortunately, nothing.“It's dark alright… l-look at this” Violet stammered and turned me towards the mirror so that my back
(Elina)Saying goodbye to my mom was the hardest, my heart was bleeding just the thought of leaving my home.My sister was well awake, for the first time I saw my sister she'd in tears. Even when she woke up in the past and found herself bedridden. My sister never shed a tear. She was my strength and my weakness. Leaving her was not what I wanted“I know okay… I love you very much… but you… you don't have to worry”I said, wiping her tears away. She couldn't speak, but only made sad muffled sounds. I asked everyone to let us alone… so, I could say goodbye to her“I'll make sure to visit you every season” it was hard, seeing her crying over my departure hurt me more than anything“I love you sis” I threw myself in her arms and rested my head on her chest. My arms circled her, I could feel her heart beating in desperation. It was like she was trying to tell me somethingIf only she could talk. Maybe she could tell me what was in her heart. Who attacked her and why was she always afraid.
Walking around the large castle-like mansion. I didn't know what to do. It was in the middle of the night. That lady, I didn't even know her name. Took me to a bedroom. It was on the second floor of the castle. The interior design was dark and Gothic. I didn't understand why I felt goosebumps all over my body just being here. Everything was horrible, I missed my mom and sister. I missed my bed and my little pet deer. I couldn't sleep mainly because I kept waking up, my throat was dry; hence I found myself out of the room and walking down the long dim passageway. It would have been better if they installed some bright lights. The dim ones gave a creepy scenery “Now…where is the kitchen, “I needed to drink water. My throat was dry and hurting. I should have asked that lady to get me some water, unfortunately, I was too nervous to do so. “Oh god… what should I do?” I was lost. Toast and damned because I found myself standing in a place I didn't recall passing through with the lady.
The lady before her was Florence, she wasn't old but with her stern face, she looked scary. She had dark ebony hair tied behind in a neat bun. She wore a black skirt reaching above her knees and a black long-sleeved tuck-in shirt with black. Sandals. Elina didn't know why the presence of the lady gave her chills“Young lady… you must have been exhausted,” Florence said, placing the clothes on the bed carefully. Elina scanned the clothes and then the lady. It wasn't an illusion, she saw everything, “please get ready because breakfast will be in ten minutes” the lady added and straightened up. Elina wanted to protest more, however, seeing how Florence was trying to ignore the situation.“When…when can I meet the Alpha?” Elina said, not sure if it was a good idea. She wanted nothing to do with him. It was good that she was sleeping in her room. It was cozy and spacious. Nothing like her old room back home.“Are you that eager?” Florence asked, sounding cold. Again, the strangest thing ab
(Elina)His voice was frightening as he gave his orders“For going against me…for breaking the rules… elder Shang, how about the four if you go on a hunt,” he said like a king, no one dared to move. I stood there frozen in place, one thing I was baffled about was his voice, deep and masculine. So scary and carried authority that my back hair rose from fear.“My wolves are hungry… how about you go on a hunt… kill the wolves in the woods…bring me their heads… failure to that… your heads will be delivered on a platter for me to step on!” his voice rang throughout the room, deafening my ears. How powerful was he, how cruel“Please alpha, we didn't mean to… spare us…”“My Lord… spare us… forgive us”“Failure to hunt, then you'll all die, now scram!” the king shouted as the men pleading kowtowed repeatedly. How cruel was he to send them on a hunt? I wanted to run. Despite the distance, I could feel a powerful aura radiating from the man seated on the high chain made of gold. Why were the
“These are your dresses, but it's not good for the alpha's wife to wear unattractive clothes,” Florence said while she removed my clothes from the closet and had the three servant girls put new ones. I didn't know what to say to her,It had been nearly a week, and they didn't let me out of the room. Forget that, breakfast was delivered to my room. It had been a while since I saw the brightness of the sky. The early morning fish breeze.Back in my world, it used to be snowed throughout, I only saw sunlight when I went to the human world.I heard the werewolf world was a wonderfully beautiful place with lots of blossoming flowers. I was keen to explore, unfortunately I wasn't allowed.“Please freshen up and wear this dress,” Florence said, tossing a pinkish dress on my bed. Scanning it, it was long and a little fluffy. I wondered what the occasion was“Am I going somewhere… is it to meet the king?” I asked, wondering if I would ever meet the Alpha king in person“Dear, it's late outsi
