Human world (Phoenix City, America.)
Lexa could still feel how her back hurt so badly, and her tears won't stop flowing like a sad river.She winced in pain, as she tried to reach for the wound on her back with her right hand and hissed loudly. She slumped on her bed weakily and sobbed harder.Lexa couldn't comprehend why her foster mother always treats her cruelly, not like she has done anything wrong to her as long as she could remember. So why? She thought she was too little to go through all these, the pains were getting much for her and can't seems to take them anymore.She was exhausted of getting beaten everyday, receiving different rains of curses, not having regular meals, and doing chores that wasn't meant for her age.For crying out loud, am just twelve! Lexa bursted out with frustration and gripped the blanket harshly. She just wanted to be free from all these, believing it was best to be alone but knew it won't be possible, as she was still a kid. Then, her mind raced to what her foster mother spat out previously when the latter was hitting her." You are a curse! Infact, I hate you so much! I wish I could just strangle you to death, you are so worthless, and the sight of you irks me to the core. What I hate most is your scent! It makes me sick and loathe you more. Just that scent,,,,,,,,,,huh it vex me a lot!"Lexa sniffed lowly, as she recalled her foster mother's words and shut her eyes, only to open them after some seconds, but they were swollen.Why did she despise my scent? I don't even know what that scent means?Did she loathe me because of my scent?Different thoughts were swirling inside her head, which made her to groan and scrunched her face a little. Those thoughts were hurting her head, and instantly she felt slightly lightheaded, but luckily she was on her bed. And that made it easy for her to relax herself.Lexa then decided to relieve her head by having some rest, thus adjusting herself and closing her eyes for Mr. sleep to take over.The moon bade a farewell to the sky, cause it's job as the keeper of the night was over. It was time for the big flaming ball to take it's duty as the boss of the day. The sun rose brightly, spreading it glory all over the sky which brightened up the whole city.Lexa tossed on the bed for a while, before her eyes finally opened, but she covered them immediately as the rays of sunlight entering her room via the window, pierced her eyes. She squinted her eyes and tried to adjust them, which worked after some seconds.Then, she yawned loudly and stretched herself, but it only made her back hurt more. And she flinched in pain. Suddenly, memories of what happened to her yesterday bursted in her head, and she exhaled ruefully. The little girl on the floppy bed wished she could be free and happy, but she had no idea of what to do.But as Lexa managed to stand up from the bed, her face lit up a bit, and she halted. A thought dinged in her head, but she wasn't sure if it was going to be possible.Since, my foster mother hates me because of my scent, what if I try to hide it, but can I succeed? She questioned herself inwardly and furrowed her sword shaped eye brows slightly. Lexa shook her head and pondered on what to do about her situation, before it turns into something else." Maybe, I should actually hide my scent. There is no harm in trying, but who knows, it might possibly work," she muttered beneath her breath as the same thought made it's way into her head again.After that, I need to find a way to escape from this living hell, but right now am powerless, she continued thinking and felt miserable because of her present predicament, until the last word she thought "powerless" blew a notion to her, which had her to furrow her brows again.Lexa nodded her head and accepted her thoughts. To her, it was the best decision, and she was ready to go for it without looking back. The little girl made up her mind to escape from her foster mother once she clocked eighteen years of age and the moment she was able to shape shift into her wolf form.She grinned to herself, with her firm decision, and she believed by that time, she would be able to live a free life. But first, Lexa had to find a way to conceal her strong scent, so her foster mother would reduce the hatred she had for her. That was her first move, but she didn't know how to go about it.Lexa strolled to her wardrobe and picked her body spray, then she sprayed it all over her body and sniffed herself gently but nothing changed. She only noticed, she gave out a more nice fragrance as a result of the body spray, but her normal scent was still whiffing around.She sighed while shaking her head, wondering how she was going to achieve her plan." You stupid child! Don't you know it time for you to get on with your morning chores?! I think the beatings you received yesterday were too small right? Okay then, I will multiply it for you, if that's it."Lexa heard her foster mother's annoyed voice and quivered nervously. " Shit!"She totally forgot about her morning chores and smacked her head lightly. She was too busy thinking about how to save herself to the extent, her mind skipped her daily chores, and a great fear gripped her body.One thing was sure for Lexa, a new huge scolding and punishment was awaiting her, due to how late she was in executing her chores, and she almost dropped down to the cold floor with that certain thought. Instantly, she took to her heels and scurried out of her room, heading towards where her chores were waiting for her." Worthless piece of trap! Right about time to come out of your room!" Lexa's foster mother, Camela, barked sarcastically, as she heard approaching steps and threw a small plate at Lexa, which the latter didn't expected.Lexa's eyes widened and tried to evade the incoming plate, but it was futile, as her sharp reflexes weren't awaken yet. The incoming plate scratched her left arm a bit, and she yelped while using her right arm to grabbed her injured left arm.She lifted her face up, little tears were already dropping from her wee eyes, and she stared at her foster mother. If looks could kill, Camela would have been ten feet beneath the ground. She didn't know why her foster mother was this cruel, but it was killing her internally!Lexa's eyes widened and tried to evade the incoming plate, but it was futile, as her sharp reflexes weren't awaken yet.

Camela roared at Lexa and scooted towards the latter, planning to give her a hit. Camela really abhorred her foster daughter, but the reason was only known to her. Seeing Lexa everyday annoys her, but there was nothing she could do, except to make her life a hard one, cause she thought that was the best way to make herself happy Lexa turned back and went ahead to where her chores were, leaving Camela alone on standing. But deep insi
The librarian looked taken aback and adjusted her eyeglass, her gaze changed into a weird one. It seems she wasn't expecting that and arched her thin brows, " Excuse me?"It was somehow rare for a person to ask such things in a library, not to talk of a little kid. The librarian narrowed her eyes and wondered why the little girl requested such a thing. Lexa sensed how the librarian gaze changed, and she frowned slightly but decided to look for a way to convince the librarian. And soon enough, a little bulb lit inside her head. She blinked her eyes and parted her lips slightly, " I was experimenting somethings about flowers with good scent a while ago, and I suddenly became curious to know if there was a way to hide their scents."Lexa really hoped for the librarian to buy her pretty lie as that was the only solution her brain could come up with. " Hummm," The librarian nodded her head, but her eyes never left Lexa, and it made the latter to feel uncomfortable, but there was nothing
Lexa opened her eyes and felt somehow different but didn't take note of that. She sniffed herself and surprisingly, her strong scent was gone, but it appeared like a dream to her. And she sniffed her body again, but it was still the same result. Delighted, she really didn't expected that but realizing the meditation was successful, her happiness bursted out. Now, I only have to wait for the right time before I escape from all these, Lexa thought and climbed up her bed. The day was a good one for her, and she thanked her stars internally. Hours passed by until it was finally dusk, the big flaming ball was beginning to set, and it was taking away it bright glory. Lexa was taking a peaceful nap, but it was interrupted by a loud bang on her door. " Stupid girl, come out! You have a job to do!" Lexa groaned annoyingly and muttered an inaudible curse but since this was her cross, she had to bear with it. " Am coming."Then, she quickly got up from her bed and dashed out of her room to
" Is there anything I need to do?" Her dull voice came out, and she arched her brows. Lexa was still on her all black dress, but she definitely looked more than a seventeen years old girl. Camela glared daggers at the young girl and hissed. Then she snapped, " Am I supposed to tell you what you ought to do?! " Go clean up the whole house!" Honestly, she had no idea when Lexa became this bold, but it didn't bother her as she still has the upper hand. " But I just came back, and besides am not a maid to do that, "She crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed loudly. " Do that or else, no lunch and dinner for you!" Camela flicked Lexa's forehead, which had the latter to almost lost her balance, and she turned away while indicating a sign with her right fingers, " Am giving you just three minutes to get your ass down here!"Lexa grumbled and smacked her left fist on the wall, but she didn't flinched, as the anger she felt had overwhelmed her. I wish I was eighteen already, she
" I don't really know, but she doesn't looks like she belong here, " The owner of the second voice, which sounded like a female's voice, seems confused. Lexa overhead what they were discussing, and instantly knew it was about her, but she didn't know who they were, so she wasn't sure if she should reveal herself or not. " Am thinking she is a rogue, cause she appeared like one especially with her outfit, but her scent smells weird," The male's voice sounded, but the young teen couldn't see him and the second person, who was a female.Lexa was still hanging upside down on the tree, and it was really getting uncomfortable for her, but she was scared of saying anything, as she was still trying to know if those two people talking were bad people or vice versa. But she desperately wanted to get down from this awkward position. " Same here too, but what could she be doing here? I can't say she is a human as her scent isn't like one, but at the same time, she doesn't carry the scent of ou
Scott also felt the same way, and it confused him. Why am I having a strange attraction towards a stranger and a werewolf rogue to be precise? He questioned himself thoughtfully. It was puzzling for the Alpha, and he looked over to his Luna but noticed Emilia's gaze was sort of odd. Is she also feeling that way? Scott inquired himself inwardly, then shifted his face to Lexa. Lexa's gaze was now on the ground, so she didn't see how the Luna and the Alpha were staring at her in a peculiar manner. Her mind was on another thing entirely, and she dreaded for the worst. She wanted to leave this place, as she was feeling too uneasy. The others said nothing, and only awaited what Scott and Emilia were going to say. Though, the Beta observed the weird gaze of Scott and Emilia, but he wasn't sure. Scott managed to put himself together and cleared his throat, " What is your name young girl?"His question had everyone present to widened their eyes, cause they all knew Scott as a brutal Alpha,
" Urghhh!" Arnold groaned loudly, as he slumped heavily on the red couch in the Alpha's house. His hazel eyes lazily looked around his father's house, trying to see maybe his father, the Alpha, was around. " What's up with you?"A man looking agile and handsome, walked in to where Arnold was. He appeared a little bit young, but he was already in his fifties. The man was none other than Adolf, the Alpha of the Crescent moon pack, and also the father of Arnold. He was surprised to see his son looking helpless and frowned slightly, wondering if it is about his mate again. " Just the usual thing dad, "He sat up straight despite how exhausted he was and slouched his head a little bit as a sign of respect. " Hummed," Adolf took his seat and faced Arnold, his expression was stoical, and it made Arnold to ponder on what his father was thinking. " I still believe you are going to find her. Just don't rush it okay?" Adolf grabbed his son's left shoulder and squeezed it a bit w
Camela was rendered speechless as it all felt like a dream. She became immobile and stared like a lost soul. This was all Lexa's fault! She screamed in her head and the hate she had for the girl doubled. The woman felt herself been dragged by the man beside the cop, as she didn't step out and the next thing she knew was, been locked up in the city jail. Camela couldn't believe what happened to her, and she vowed to get rid of Lexa, the next time she sees her. Beware Lexa, I mustn't see you or consider yourself dead! She growled and tugged her hair violently. *********** Blazing Red Moon pack. Earlier, when the Alpha and Luna left the meeting room, including the Elders, Beta, and the Gamma. Remaining only Lexa and the two adult werewolves, who brought her to the pack. Lexa seeing she was free now, stood up and turned to face the two werewolves, " Well, I must say thank you....." She smirked and shrugged, then proceeded to take her leave also. But she turned back and m
