"No..... no... please stop get away from..... no... no....." I suddenly wake up from my sleep breathing heavily. I quickly turn on the light on my bedside table and check the time on the wall across the room. It says 3:00 am. I tried recalling my dream but couldn't.
This was not the first time it happened. It's been going on for the past two weeks. since I clocked 18, all I know is it always terrifies me and it also felt so real and it also happens at exactly 3:00 am but I end up not recalling anything at all.
I took a deep breath, get up from my bed, and went to the bathroom. I quickly splash water on my face and look down at my hands and notice that they were still shaking. I tried to steady them and look into the mirror.
I notice some changes in my body, it has become more sculpted and twine-thin. My waist is now tapered compare to before and now has an olive skin complexion. my eyebrows more slender as though it was tattooed. My eyelash, longer and fuller, I now have a dainty nose, a set of dazzling angel white teeth, my hair that was once ebony-black now has strips of silver to it and my blue eyes now have a gold ring to it. my fingers are more slender and the nails slightly longer.
All these changes started exactly after my 18th birthday, ever since I've tried my possible best to hide most of the changes in me. By wearing baggy clothes, black wigs, and eye contact and masking my face with heavy makeup.
Not only the changes in my body did I notice, but I also notice the changes in my agility both mentally and physically. Also, my hearing and sight of vision have become sharpened that I can hear and see things from miles away.
All these changes I kept to myself, I dare not let anyone know because I know the consequences if they do.
Before these changes, I was already outcasted and hated by the whole pack, well this started on the day my parents were killed by rogues deep in the forest. when the pack found us, my parent was already dead leaving only me alive. they thought I was the cause of their death by leading them to where the rogues were. But little did they know it wasn't the rogues that killed them. I didn't tell anyone what happened that day and they never bother asking me not even my family. they all wanted someone to be blamed and I was the easiest target.
My parents were the beta of the pack, so technically I was demoted from the beta's daughter to the omega of the pack and maltreated brutally.
I was already being called a freak because they thought I had no wolf which I do but just chose to keep it also away from them. I first turned on my 15th birthday which was a very painful night for me. I had to change all by myself without the help and presence of the alpha. you might ask me why the alpha's help and presence must be needed when one is changing, well that is because he is the only one that has the power to control a newbie from going rampage and also after the change, bonds with the newbie to become an official member of the pack.
Well as you can tell, since the alpha wasn't there with me that night, I am not officially part of the pack. so no one could guess I have a wolf. one thing also, my wolf's color is silver like literally silver. it was never heard of that a silver wolf exists or existed before so I dare not tell anyone about it.
I splash water on my face once more before quickly doing my morning routines and going upstairs to the pack's kitchen to prepare meals for the whole pack. after that I cleaned the whole mansion except the rooms, I usually clean the rooms when all the pack members are down eating.
As I was finishing with my cleaning, I hear the pack members wake up gradually and check the time, as I noticed it was 5 am, I quickly gathered my cleaning tools and dashed downstairs to the basement where my room is. I can't even call it a room. it was more like a five-square meter cage built in the corner of the basement specifically for me. it contains a single bunk bed, a bedside table, a small wardrobe and also in it was built a mini bathroom.
For the past 2 weeks, I have been avoiding any sort of confrontation with any of the pack members to reduce the chances of them noticing the changes in me.
So far so good, it has been effective.
I lay on my bed listening to everyone in the mansion as they come out of their rooms one after the other. after making sure everyone is out, I quietly came out of my room masking my scent to avoid them noticing me, and went to the rooms cleaning them in a blink of an eye.
Luckily for me, it's been smooth going so far. I haven't encountered any trouble yet today and hope it will be like that for the rest of the day. I quickly get myself ready for school. On getting to school, I hoped and prayed once more for today to be normal for me. I keep my head down as I find my way to my classroom. My stomach keeps grumbling because I haven't had my breakfast yet. I check my phone for bank alert, as today is the last day of the month, waiting for Mrs. Johnson whom I work for as a library assistant to give me my salary. So I keep checking my phone as I sit down on my seat....in the far corner of the classroom near the window. I pretend to be looking out the window while at the same time being alert, listening to everything around me. And I rather sense that my classmates are busy today, as they gather in groups talking among themselves. I horn my listening ability to hear what they are talking about properly.
Well, that was close. God knows what would have happened had his mate not stopped him. I sit back in my seat as everyone else dispatched and the teacher also entered right at that moment. I think it's high time I left the pack. I've been thinking about leaving for some days now ever since the changes started. I can only hide them for a while. I don't know what will happen once they are discovered. Today was a close call and I can't afford them to know. It could lead to my death once discovered. Luckily for me, I was soon forgotten because of the excitement in the air. Mrs. Johnson even added a bonus to my salary because of it which I was grateful for since I can now add more to my savings. The day went by quickly and classes were over before we knew it. When I got to the packhouse, everywhere was filled with preparations and I know for one that I would definitely be ignored for the rest of the day and mostly tomorrow also hopefully. I quickly went dow
ZEID "Zeid....come to my study right away" the king, my father mind link me before cutting the link once more. Ever since my 20th birthday, my father has been wanting to pass over the throne to me but couldn't because I haven't found my mate. He has been persistent in helping me find my mate to the extent of inviting almost every female werewolves in the whole of North America to the palace daily. Despite that l still couldn't find my mate. I keep telling him that when it's time I will find her but no he wouldn't listen. All he wants is for me to find my mate so he can pass the throne to me. His excuse is that I'm fully ready to take the throne and that he fully trust my ability to lead the werewolf kingdom. Anyways I'm actually the one in charge of mostly all the affairs of the kingdom all he does is for him to put his approval On the necessary documents ....so I wonder why he is still in a hurry to pass the c
Zeid "You can both leave to prepare for your journey," my father said as he dismissed us. *** We got to my mate's pack, the blood moon pack at exactly 12am of the following day. When we got there it was the Alpha and the elders that came out to greet us but at the same time, we could hear the sound of music playing from inside. "Welcome Prince Zeid, Prince Brice" They all greeted us bowing their heads. My brother and I acknowledged them with a nod and followed them into the packhouse. On entering, my wolf started becoming restless and I knew my mate was nearby. I tried to calm him down as I tried...take note "tried" listening to the Alpha as he introduces me to all the elders one after the other. God knows I can't remember a single person's name among all of them. All my concern right now is to locate my mate. I mind link my brother to keep the Alpha and the elders occupied while
Ashley I ran as fast as I could to my room and picked up my already packed bag I know no one will be after me right now because they will want to leave a good impression on the Prince's mind. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't hurry up. I know the moment they have the opportunity I won't be left untouched for what happened. I heightened my hearing to check if any hurried footsteps were coming my way and truly no one was coming. I take a deep breath and whispered to myself "now or never". I opened the basement door quietly and checked the corridor once more to confirm if anyone was approaching. once I confirmed it, I heightened all my senses to help me leave without being noticed. In no time I found myself at the boundary of the pack. I take one last look at the pack before turning around to walk away not regretting my decision to leave. Not even after finding out my mate was Prince Zeid.
Zeid On walking into the restaurant, my gaze moved across the room as it landed on her. I move to walk towards her when I felt a hand on my arm stopping me. I growled in warning at Brice "Calm your ass down bro," he said rolling his eyes "you don't want to scare her away again right, remember how long it took for us to locate her. You wouldn't want to look for her for that long again or longer even," he said pulling me to sit in one corner of the restaurant. " prince Brice is right your highness. It wasn't easy locating your mate. It's better if we don't rush things and take it one step at a time" my gamma Rye said agreeing to Brice. " Why not let me walk up to her and make our order to see her reaction first" I nod in agreement to Rye and sat down. It took all my willpower not to stand up and walk up to her. I can't help it. Looking at her now, she looks so different from how she looked when I saw her in her pack. The d
Ashley "What...what do you mean 'by I'm not coming back.." he walks to the driver's side and hopped in "it means what it means.....you know what I think I prefer it when you don't talk or ask questions " he said driving out of the parking lot. I shut my mouth and turned back to see Prince Brice and the rest enter the other vehicles I failed to notice were there before following behind us. I look at the restaurant where I work fade slowly as we move farther away from it. My heart becomes heavy as I wonder where he is taking. Is it to my old pack or the palace? What is he going to do to me? Is he going to punish me for running away? Many questions keep coming up on my mind as I twin my fingers together trying to calm myself down. I take a look at him and couldn't help being drawn to him. He is just what you call perfection but I won't let his look distract me from my current situation. I need answers
Ashley "Alpha," she said suddenly bowing her head to him. I was surprised by her action and widen my eyes. wait a minute my eyes were opened but I remember closing them before, when did I open them without me realizing it. ok hold on, that's not important, how did she know what I'm thinking can she hear my thought? but how?. I widen my eyes more as I realized she just greeted Prince Zeid. can she see him? can he see her? but how is that possible. Am I going crazy here? no, I'm not crazy that I'm sure I slowly turn my head to look at the Prince to confirm my thoughts. seeing his shocked expression and his train of sight that was definitely wasn't looking at me but past me, confirmed my thoughts that they can see each other. "you can see her?" Still, I asked him to confirm it fully. That was when he finally looked at me with questions written all over his face. "what's going on here," he asked me confused. I turn to
