ALPHA NORMAN'S POV
On the day of the feast the castle was filled with many people who had attended the party. There were many things to eat and drink. Everything was working perfectly until a scream was heard in the middle of the party.
Everyone was running helter skelter as they screamed. I wasn't inside the party hall as I went out a while ago to get something outside the castle.
"Alpha! We need you now!"
I heard Sean said through a mind link. He sounded so serious that I wondered if there was a problem.
"Why....?"
I asked not thinking anything could be the problem.
"The assassins are attacking our pack. Many have been injured."
He said. I could hear his voice shivering a bit.
" I'll be right there Sean, just hold on."
I left the horse I went out with as I hit my feet on the ground and sprang forward jumping over anything that could delay me.
I continued running before letting my wolf take over. My bones restructured themselves into a wolf form. My fur sprang up, my nails and my canines grew.
I could see my castle close ahead. I scanned the environment and listened as I ran towards the party hall.
I reached the door and halted as I let back my head and growled loudly. By their reaction they knew the Alpha had arrived. I could feel how scared they were noticing my present as I slammed inside the hall.
My pack was fighting with another group of werewolves. Perhaps they are a pack of werewolves as I figured out one of them looked like their Alpha.
'Let the battle begin.'
I said while I snarled lowly as I crushed one of the rogue's throats in one snap. I rushed to the next one as he ran towards me, I stood my ground and waited for him to get close before I lowered my head letting him jump over me.
I quickly turned around, grabbed him from behind and slit his throat with my fingers before he could turn around. I quickly pounced on the next one, sending him sliding.
I could hear them growling in pain. I felt my anger rising as I continued to fight. I slowly unleashed the anger I had held inside as I took them down.
Now that I saw them I knew there were many of them living under my roof pretending to need refuge.
I came to face a huge gray wolf that seems to be their Alpha. But not as huge as I am. He growled at me and I growled back. He was strong and fast as I let him make the first move.
I ran towards him and jumped on him letting him fall. I held him down and grabbed his head to smash it on the ground but he quickly jumped up and freed himself from my grip.
We faced each other as we ran towards each other, both of us snarled lowly as we crushed into ourselves. I quickly stood up dipped my fangs into his neck tearing his flesh like a meat ready to be eaten.
He growled lowly at me as he changed back into his human form. By the look of the situation we won the battle as all the rogues were taken down. Some of them were captured and put in a cell.
Some of my pack members were badly injured but we didn't lose anyone. They were treated and taken care of.
'Mother! Are you okay? Where are you?'
I said through a mind link as I couldn't find her inside the hall.
'Son, I think I have been captured.'
I heard her response through a mind link. Her voice wasn't that good.
'Mother! Don't worry I will find you. Did you hear me? Mother! Mother!!......'
Just as I was talking to her our mind link was broken completely.
'Gather the strong werewolves and meet me at the foot of the forest.'
I quickly mind linked my Beta as I dashed into the forest.
'My mother had been captured.'
I said to him while I continued running. I used my wolf sight to search around the forest before Steve arrived with the others.
We looked everywhere possible but weren't able to find her. Where could they have taken her?
"My king, I think we were meant to be distracted for your mother to be captured."
Steve suspected as we couldn't find any clue of where they took my mother.
"Keep the wolves we captured safe until we find out from them where they had taken my mother."
I ordered as we retired home after so much searching.
******LORRAINE'S POV******
I heard the sound of carriages and knew my master and his mate were back from Alpha Norman's castle.
I quickly went out to welcome them but I was shocked to see them soaked in blood. They have scratches on their body. He held his mate while they walked inside. She was seriously injured.
I followed them as I grabbed the bag inside the carriage. I quickly ran to the kitchen and brought warm water. I brought it inside and bowed my head very low as I kept it on the table beside the bed that she laid on. I quickly turned to leave.
"You don't have to leave, Lorraine."
I heard my master's wife say and I froze as I never imagined her letting me stay with her in her room.
I stood like a statue with my head that was about to reach the ground as I never raised my eye brown.
"Don't just stand there, come and help me."
I quickly raised my head up as I took a glance at her showing I was surprised. She nodded while I walked slowly to her side. I grabbed the towel on the table and dipped it inside the warm water.
My hands were shaky as I tried to massage her leg with the warm water. To my surprise she held my hands to support me. I looked up and tears rolled down my cheeks.
'Am I still a slave?'
I asked myself as I continued massaging her legs. I couldn't believe a slave would be treated that good, unlike my experience at Alpha Norman's castle that was like hell on earth.
Later at midnight, I went to my window as usual to listen to the werewolf howl but I still didn't hear him. I wanted to tell him how good my new home has been to me. I have been waiting for weeks but I couldn't hear a single howl from him.
I ran my fingers in my hair in frustration. I sat down near the window. The pain and loneliness I always felt that subsided with his howl was raising without control. The howl that gives me courage to fight back and take revenge against Alpha Norman. Tears ran down my face as I couldn't control my emotions.
"I have lost everything, everything! All because of you, ALPHA NORMAN!"
I sobbed bitterly as I sat down on the bare floor. Crying uncontrollably..
I wasn't sure if I was crying for what Alpha Norman did to me or perhaps I was crying for not being able to hear the howl.
