Anne's POV.

"Kill her! Kill her!"

The crowd shouted as rage burned in their eyes, I stood before the pack, my heart racing as they hurled insults and venomous gazes my way. Everything I had ever known, gone with the shadows, my parents, my life . Flashes of the whole incident flooding my mind, the Alpha's words still echoed in mind,

" Miss Anne brown is hereby banished from the blood moon pack for the murder of her parents."

The pain suffocating, I sobbed. Immediately, the guards were ordered to take me away, As I was dragged away by the guards, I caught a glimpse of the crowds hatred. Their faces twisted in anger, their eyes burning with a ferocity that made my skin crawl, I felt like a monster.

"Mom...Dad."

Their names left my mouth as I cried heavily, fear enveloped me. I felt all alone, no one believed me. " I was innocent." I mumbled.

"She is a monster, she is worse than an animal , she is not meant to live."

Those were the final words form those I thought were family, I cried my heart in ruins. I looked ahead, the gates of the pack looked before me a symbol of my exile.

As the gates opened my, I felt like it was all over, ahead was nothing but darkness. The guards pushed me out and I stumbled into this deserted street. Terror gripped me like a vice, my senses heightened as I scanned the whole empty road.

Suddenly a group of guys emerged from the shadows their eyes fixed with an unnerving intensity.

"Hey, you girl."

One of them sneered, his voice dripping with malice. I tried to move but my legs felt heavy as if pinned to the spot. The guys closed in, their laughter and jeers surrounding me like a suffocating shroud.

"Ple...please do not kill me ."

I blurted out of fear, that didn't make them back down at all but instead they saw me as a lost kitten suitable for their games. My fist tightened as I could feel the touch of some of the guys, I swallowed hard with cold sweat dripping down my cheeks, my jaw elevating as their leader cupped my chin.

But just as all hope seemed lost, a deep voice emerged from the darkness,

"Hey, boys, I see you need some spanking."

The hoodlums turned, their faces twisting in anger as a figure came to light. He was talking, his features obscured by a mask but his eyes gloomed with a fierce force. I remembered those eyes _ they were the same ones that had saved me from the assassins who killed my parents .

Without any further word he charged at the guys his fist flying in a blur motion. I closed my eyes the sounds of punches and grunts filling the air. When I opened my eyes again, the guys were fleeing and the mysterious figure stood before me, his chest heaving with exertion.

"Who are you?"

I asked, my voice barely below a whisper, he hesitated his eyes sparkling in the moonlight

"Someone who's been watching over you, Anne."

He called my name, how was that possible. He knows me! Do I know him? I questioned myself. Immediately he said what he said he disappeared into the night leaving me stunned and confused.

I stood there hopeless when a fluttering sound drew my attention to a flier on the ground by side, it was a job vacancy for a maid position in the Full moon pack.

A spark of hope ignited within me, this was my chance to start afresh, to leave the pain and shame behind. But did it have to be the 'FULL MOON PACK' a sense of trepidation crept over me. What lay ahead? Was I walking into my grave ? Or did a new life await?

Rumors had it that this pack was a dead zone. it is the most dreaded pack of all times, No one had seen the face of the Alpha of this pack before, when coming out he would always put on a mask. He was known as a cold_ blooded monster, crossing his path would be same as crossing death.

But right now I didn't have a choice, it was either I die or I die. I took a deep breath, the night's cool air filling my lungs. I had to try, for my sake and my parent's.

With this newly found push, I picked up the flier and began my Journey to the 'Full Moon "Estate" as the humans called it.

After walking for a while I approached the gates of the pack, they towered over me, imposing and intimidating but I steeped myself and stepped forward.

"Who are you?" The voices of the guards hit me, I stuttered, " I'm here for the job vacancy." I let out immediately showing them the flier. Instantly colour drained from their face, their mouth dropping in shock as they immediately let me in .

Their reaction confirmed the rumours, there really was no hope here but it was same both ways for me. Gathering courage I entered into the pack expectant of a mood and atmosphere complementary with mine but to my greatest surprise they were happy _ Everyone had bright smiles on their faces, the warmth of the atmosphere embraced me.

" I guess we were going to live Afterall." My wolf gave out .

However, when I asked for directions to Alpha's house they all ran away, terror written boldly on their faces. It was as if I had mentioned a taboo.

Frustrated, I almost broke down in tears but just at that moment, a lady approached me and offered to help, that was quite bold. She appeared to be in her twenties, she had a stylish bob haircut and a bold fashion sense. She wore a bright red fennel jacket and blue bum shorts her feet was adorned with a limited_edition Louis Vuitton canvas_ the exact same design my father promised me before he passed on.

"I'm Elizabeth." She introduced immediately she found we would be working in the same place, she asked we be friends but that wasn't important to me, I had bigger problems.

She gave me directions to the beta's mansion, she said it was safer that way. Didn't care the reason all I wanted was to get the job and if that was the easiest route, I will go through there. I thanked her as I went my way.

As I went in the direction of the beta's mansion, the road became more and more deserted, I grew scared. Suddenly a voice hit me from behind " who are you?" I swallowed hard as I felt a gun pressed on my head.

I trembled explaining my presence and the job interview, I stuttered. He dropped his gun hearing my explanation. I turned to face the strange man, words failed me . My mouth dropped, my eyes popping out of its socket in shock. He definitely wasn't human nor wolf like.
