Fear, one of man's greatest downfall, I could feel it in the air right now, so much so I could have sworn that I could taste it.
Today is the day, the day most of our fates will be sealed and I was one of them. It was time for the harvest.
The alpha of our pack(the white stone pack) made a treaty with the silver blade pack, for their protection he was going to offer them our girls who were 17 years upwards. Some rouges were attacking our pack way back and being the spineless coward alpha Dane( our alpha) was he saw no other option than scariificing our girls for protection.
The silver blade pack were no ordinary wolves rather they were monsters, beast. Legend has it that these men were vile rogues who had committed atrocities that were too gruesome to forgive so the moon goddess cursed them to never have a mate.
They are stronger and faster than the average werewolf and since we were under their protection no pack or rogue dared to attack us anymore.
I blame the moon goodness for making them mateless because I wouldn't be in this position, I guess I should be great full that we were feared but at what cost.
Alpha Dane made a decree that any one who found their mate should reject him or her immediately or great consequences awaited whoever disobeys. The only person who had tried to put a stop to this barbaric acts was our beta(beta calan). In my opinion he should be our alpha, he is a brave and courageous man who really cares about the people but the elders having benefitted from alpha dane one way or another have refused to see reason with our beta.
"Nevaeh I am just coming from your house and I was told my mother that you were here".
Philip my best friend and the guy I had a massive crush on even though he wasn't my mate sat by me. Philip is the beta's son and he was as headstrong and courageous as his father.
I have been in love with philip right from when I knew what love was, in my head we were already married with kids. I never told him how I felt because I didn't have the guts. In my head I am bold and outspoken but outside I am shy and quiet as a mouse.
"Philip why are you here, I thought you were supposed to be training with the warriors".
" Training is over, I came to see you because I know that you are among the girls for the harvest today. This is wrong, we need to do something about this".
"What can we do, I have accepted my fate, who knows they may be kind and treat us well over there".
Philip scoffed
" That's a lie and you know it Nevaeh,the previous girls who were selected for the harvest all of this years have never been heard from again, we don't know if they are alive or dead".
" You could run away".
I stared at Philip shocked at what he said
"You know fully well what happens to anyone who runs away, not only are they caught and toutured but also their families too, and you want me to suffer the same fate. Thank you very much but I rather take my chance with the beasts."
"Naveah I am--
" Look Philip I believe I have stayed here long enough, the day is far gone and I need to prepare for the harvest, thanks for being my friend even though I know most of the pack are not happy with you since they see me as the weird one. I truly appreciate your friendship."
Philip tried to talk to me but I have heard enough, I am not upset with him but I am just frustrated with the whole situation.
I could feel his eyes burning into my back as I walked away but I didn't look back.
I had to go and get ready the beasts were coming.writershelper@webnovel.com
