2 HOURS EARLIERCANNONThe ceremony didn’t bother me as it did my brothers. I would be attending many more when I became Alpha anyways. Being the eldest, and having tripled senses of a normal wolf, I had a better chance than they, especially Kane.Ian was super fast but Kane was born without a powl, a special and personal wolf power move. I knew it angered him a lot when father neglected him because of this. But for some reason lately, father had been trying to get closer to him. As I removed the bowtie from my neck and my tuxedo from my body, icy cold hands rested over my shoulders and it breathed down my neck as it stretched its neck to lick my face.“What do you want?”I turned to her and, she wasn’t behind me anymore. She giggled and I saw her lying on my classic blue sofa. As usual, she wore a short red dress that complimented her imp-thin body. She was without curves or shape and her thin legs were scrawny.Her red eyes complimented her dress and a lustful smile formed her face.

KATRINAI stopped, catching my breath and relaxing my weak knees. The golden wolf was still running and I couldn’t go further. In the next second, I regretted my decision when a wolf pounced on me. An ear-deafening scream escaped my lips.It was brown, big, and with piercing blue eyes. Its vicious teeth were ready to tear flesh and slobber poured out of its mouth to my face. Its eyes emitted blue light like lasers and I was afraid of what would happen next.Its big paws were on my chest and from my point of view; it was as tall as a human. Its claws protruded and I screamed again when it snarled at me. I closed my eyes but regretted opening them again when two more wolves appeared.Its full weight was on me and I couldn’t push it away. They also snarled at me, with their teeth biting at my faces.“Help! Please, someone help! Anybody!”When they were close enough to bite every part of my body off, I closed my eyes, awaiting the gruesome pain. Then, I heard a loud growl from behind me. T

KATRINAI was tired of this but thank the goddess for the clouds that partially covered the sun, giving us a limited moment of peace. I really wanted to fall asleep but my hurting leg reminded me of what would happen if I did.My sleep ran off when I heard something beeping. The first beep seemed to excite everyone and they surrounded the table that carried the rolling bin. Two of the slaves that had stopped crying started to cry again.Another beep sound came in and they started to clap. They were smiling and chatting over it and the Alpha was nodding his head while his Luna forced a drink down his throat.Commotion was coming up and the stiff Sigmas that were guarding started to move. Everything I once thought was dead was coming to life and a breeze hit us. What the hell was happening?Another wolf slave joined them in crying and a last beep was heard. They left the table and stayed at the entrance, each with activeness and eagerness. For once through the three or so hours, they did

6 YEARS LATER…KATRINA“Heads up!” I tossed my apron and that very uncomfortable bunny hat over to Gina. Without even looking, she caught it and hung it up for me, returning to the dishes.“Going home so early?” Jason said, appearing from the kitchen.“It’s eight pm, Jay. Oo, that looks delicious…” I stretched my hand for the tray he was holding for a chicken wing but he moved it away just before I reached.“No fair!” I exclaimed, swinging to Gina’s former position and taking the bunny hat, putting it on his head.“No! Get it off me! The horror!” I giggled as he tried to shake it off his head.His hands were busy with the tray of chicken wings and I wondered why he didn’t just drop the tray. Gosh, he was such a diva.“There you go,” Gina said, taking the bunny hat off him and hanging it back.“Thanks so much! That’s the reason why I work in the kitchen.”I rolled my eyes while he glared at me playfully.“You should be getting home, Kat. You don’t want to keep them waiting,” Gina said

KATRINAI reached the gate and tried to get it open but it wouldn’t budge. A blue beam of light emerged from it, scanning me from head to toe. A few seconds later, it automatically unlocked. That wasn’t there this morning. Gosh, Carissa was always making unnecessary upgrades. I walked down the small interlocked path and looked at the lawn on my right and left. She had a lot of free time today since the lawn was mowed too. I stepped into the parking spot of the cars which had a black Camry at the left and a white Toyota at the right.I didn’t take cars to work because it was bad for business. They didn’t know where I lived and that was why I only limited our friendship to the store.The duplex was cream, her favorite color, and the balcony rested against the wall, demarcating the first floor and ground floor, being overshadowed by the pillars that held a miniature roof, specifically designed to prevent sun rays from reaching the balcony.A cross-hipped brown-ash roof covered our heads
