"Miss, you have a tight schedule. Why did you have to come here? Besides, if your father knew about this, he would be angry.

"Shut up Jesseca, I don't need your opinion." I glare at my assistant. The car stopped and waited for the driver to open the door for me. I was a million dollar woman and everything was bowing on me due to my young age.

Sibylla McKenna was my name. I was seventeen years of age, yet I was about to celebrate my eighteenth birthday after three months.

I'm the type of woman who has a high standard for all of these things.

If I eat, I want the very finest. If I chose clothes, I would wear the best and most expensive and elegant ones. And when it comes to a man that I like, he has to be super rich, super handsome, and super popular. At a very young age, I was a popular teenage model and I had a lot of fashion and dress boutiques in every part of the country. Aside from that, I was the only daughter of the Red Moon pack Alpha. Despite the fact that I was the youngest and only girl among three siblings, I was the only one who inherited our clan power.

Actually, this is the first time in the history of wolves to have a female heir. I myself didn't know how those things happened and even the whole wolf community.

I was in the cemetery where my mom's tomb is. My schedule has been hectic ever since I was a model when I was fifteen and my father would not allow me to visit this tomb without him, but since I am almost eighteen now  I guess I could do whatever I wanted. Besides, they didn't know where I was since my father was busy as well at his own company.

I reached the place that was too far away from the gate of the said cemetery,

I was shocked when I saw a woman standing in front of the tomb. She was wearing a creepy black dress that covered her whole body. She has a huge black sun hat with a wide brim around the circumference, which will keep you in the shade and away from harmful UV light.

When she sensed my presence, she turned her head toward me, but I couldn't see her face.

"Sibylla..." was the woman's utterance.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my mother's graveyard? " I ask

"There is no time, dear, accept this stone symbol of fire from your mother. You're almost eighteen now, so I know that you can handle the power of this stone. Don't let anyone have this. "

The woman said, yet I didn't accept it, because why would I? I didn't know if this was a trap or something bad would happen if I held that stone.

I shook my head.

"No, why would I? I didn't know if there was poison in it.

I was about to turn around and live. Maybe I will come back after this woman leaves.

"You have to. This is the last thing that your mother will do. It would protect you from near danger. Someone wanted to kill young lady before you turned eighteen. Before that happens, you have to have this. If something happens to you there, Your mother won't forgive me. I was your aunt, by the way. But I was forbidden to come closer to you because of your family. It's a long story to tell. We don't have time. Your father was sure to be looking for you now. I use my last power to hide your location."

I don't know what to believe, but the woman was too persistent. I panicked when she said that she was just hiding my location from my father. who I believed every time he was planning to visit my mom. He always called me for no reason. He wanted to see me, or sometimes he would just pop up in my house.

"OK, whatever," I snatched the stone from her, then the red stone immediately sank into my hand.

I jumped in surprise when I saw that happen.

"What happened? Why does it go in to me? "

"Don't worry, that just means that the stone identified its owner. It means that no one can steal that from you. Unless you voluntarily give that to someone."

I look at my hands, then at the girl.

I stop thinking when my phone rings. I panicked when I saw my dad's number was the one calling.

"Where are you, young lady?" My dad welcomed me with that question.

I had to think faster, so I replied to him that I was about to visit the mansion to talk about my upcoming birthday. Because I knew that the way back to the mansion was covered by witch magic, no one could detect if I was stepping through the perimeter.

"Good. I have been waiting for you since last week. "You were too busy." My dad said, and I quickly went back to the parking lot where my car is.

My assistant was waiting for me inside the car as I reached it.

"So are we going home now?" Jesseca asked. I lazily sign my hand.  I picked up the manual script for my next project. For the first time, I would be an actress. The story was based on a real-life story where a wolf fell in love with a human. That time happened when the barricade between humans and creatures like us was still not strong enough. It's a sad love story because at the end, they both died.

"Nope, dad wants me to visit him."

I was smiling cause I knew dad would talk about the soon to be queen of our clan. 

"Jes, what would you do if I suddenly stopped modeling? "

Jesseca laughed. Don't ask silly questions. Where do you think you go? "

She asked back 

"Higher, Jes, I would go higher from this level."

After I said that, my car was suddenly hit by something, and I saw how Jesseca flew out the window. While I was left behind, I was lucky that I wore my seatbelt. Because of the strong impact, I stayed still inside the car and I guess I am OK. Aside from my hands being glistening, everything is fine.

I saw a lot of men wearing black hoods come out of the van. Right there, I knew that I was in danger.

"Oh, please, I shouldn't be here," I say.

I remember all of my father's reminders not to come here alone. Maybe this is what would happen if I go.

"I'm sorry dad, I wish I could go back in time. "

I was shocked when I was blinded by the light that suddenly appeared. I thought those men had opened the door of the car, but I was surprised when I was suddenly falling.

Wait, what is happening?

waaaaa... I shouted, then I saw one of my suitcases falling. It was the one beside me inside the car. I closed my eyes when the bag was about to hit me.

The next thing that happened was my body dropped into the ground, not just the ground but a huge file of mud. Good thing that I'd kicked the luggage, not on purpose, and it landed on the other side, a few steps from the mud.

I panicked while asking myself how I ended up here. I try to step away from the surface. Yet why do I feel like I am slowly sinking instead of crawling into the dry ground?

My whole body was bathed in mud and this was the most disgusting time of my life.

But being clean is not important now. I was sinking under. If I couldn't get out of here, I would be dead. But how can I do that if every move I make causes my body to sink inch by inch?
