The morning was my favorite part of any day. The birds chirping, the bright sky, and the bright sun rays shining on my face as I woke up. Every day for the last thirteen years, I had woken up this way and I loved everything about it. I wouldn't trade the feeling for anything in the world. Well except mamas warm hugs and kisses but it was also a big part of my morning. Unfortunately, today was going to be a different day and I didn't expect it. Loud shouts woke me up.
There was a loud bang on my room door. I sat up in my bed with a frown. Who was at the door? And why were they banging so hard when it wasn't even morning. The room was dark as I used my hands to search for my way through the room and to the door. As a young pup who had not gotten her wolf yet, my eyesight wasn't exactly the best.
"Fuck" I cursed as I hit my toes on the foot of the bed. I bit my lips and groaned. Mama would she a thousand years if she heard me swearing. The pounding on the door continued and I rushed to the door. Immediately I twisted the lock, the door was pushed open. Stella my mother's maid came bounding in.
"Hurry up. We have to get out of here" Stella said hurriedly and tried to grab my hand.
"What is going on Stella? What of mama" I said while trying to walk around her.
"There's no time. We have to leave now" she dragged me out of the room and I stumbled on my feet as I tried to keep up with her. The lights were shining bright along the hallway. She walked quickly dragging me begging her. We heard some voices and she ducked behind the wall covering my mouth and blocking us from their sight.
"Search for them here" I heard a deep voice before they ran past us. As soon as they were gone she pulled me out and we continued running. The lounge was messed up. Dead bodies were littered across the room. What was going on? Where are mama and papa and brother Sam? A man dashed out of a room and spotted us. Stella pushed me behind her and took an attack position. They fought while I stood in the corner. I wished I could help her but I had no proper training. He stabbed her in her right arm just as she dug her claws into his eyes and slit his throat.
"Come on" she clutched her arm and ran in front. I ran after her trying to keep up with her. We ran into the open compound. There was a huge battle going on. I tried to spot my mama but I couldn't with Stella trying to pull me away. We ran through the mass of dead and fighting bodies and into the edge of the forest. The grasses were overgrown and the trees stood tall. She collapsed beside a tree pulling me into her arms and placing her arm over my mouth.
There was a loud roar and everywhere went silent. Three people were kneeling before a man whose back faced us. Mama, Papa, and brother Sam were on their knees. I tried to move but Stella's firm arm kept me bound. He raised his sharp sword in the air and slashed through, their heads tumbling on the floor. I tried to scream but her hands clamped tightly around my mouth. The painful tugging in my heart. The man who killed them turned around and I gasped in shock. It was my uncle. Why? How? "Find the last one and kill it" last one? Stella pulled me away from there as we ran deeper and deeper into the forest. ********************************
It has been eight years since I've been on the run. My head was throbbing uncomfortably but I knew I couldn't rest there because I couldn't risk the guards of this pack territory I was in catching me, they would lock me up and probably execute me. The pack that had once been my everything was taken over by my wicked uncle after he had killed the alpha and luna of the pack my parents and my elder brother.
Stella my mother's personal maid had died a month after we had ran away from my pack, we were attacked by rogue wolves she saved my life but she had died in the process. She was already weak from the poisoned knife she was stabbed with back at the old pack. She didn't stand a chance. It was sad to see her die but I was lucky enough to be saved from those rogues. My life has been nothing but hell.
The leaves crushed under my feet as I ran and I could feel my muscles giving out but I had to push a little further until I leave this territory. I slowed down slightly smelling a deer in the nearby area my stomach was growling loudly for food, I couldn't remember the last time I ate. I readied myself after a while I caught the deer and as I dug in I heard a sound from the right and immediately a big brown wolf stood in front of me, it was really big but its aura was not as commanding as an Alpha, so I guessed it might be the Beta.
I couldn't run away it was already late, I decided to fight even if they were going to take me finally at least I put up a fight. Our wolves circled each other for a while and the big brown wolf pounced on me, snapping its jaws. We snapped at each other for a while when the big wolf bit my legs, my wolf whined loudly in pain I was so tired and worn out, switched back to my human form as my consciousness slipped away. The last thing I heard was 'Rogue.'
