"Salina stop"
My mom shouted on me angrily, I was running in the corridor with the hem of my dress in my hand lifting it up to my knees.
I looked back at my mom who was still chasing after me with an exhausted look. "It's not what you are thinking it is" she said while hiding the disappointment on her face that was clearly visible
Not what I am thinking about?
I lift my dress and while making some loud thud on the polished floor, I run barefoot in the woods with my all might.
Werewolf and human world have a pact. A pact that they will protect us and we will provide them with everything they need.
For humans Werewolfs are nothing but some disgusting being who can turn into animals. A being that was hated by everyone in our EMPIRE.
In this EMPIRE werewolf have given a separate place to live outside the EMPIRE and probably near to the border. We use them, we use then for work and for war, they are nothing but a low level human beings for us.
But one day the name of Davies Zenor rose from the shadows. With his intelligence their Abilities of the werewolf started to grow potent.
With each passing day they started to get more Formidable, so much that we humans has to take a step back.
As the time passed Davis started to ask for gold,silver, food, silk and even land. It was more than clear that he wanted to step on the humans who have been continuously using their spices as a puppet.
My dad is the Well known minister of this empire and as well as the second in power after the king and yesterday they asked for my hand in marriage and Davies did it for none other than his only son who is a lunatic or we can also say his powers were too Flourishing at the time he was born that he lost his mind.
Alphas have many kind of powers, they have enhanced sense, that's makes them able to even see in pitch darkness, Aura of command, they can control a certain degree of wolf's based on the their ability, and even Immense Durability.
And till now the EMPIRE was using them as slaves for their own benefit.
People say that because Daveis was unable to have children he made a sacrifice on the Lunar day and soon after the goddess of mood graced him with a son, but unfortunately he was so powerful that he lost his mind and now he lives like child.
Every werewolf have their Luna, a special werewolf whose fate is tangled with their alpha at the they are born, a long lasting relationship, something that cannot be ignored but Davies's son has have no Luna yet.
Davies has been searching for his Luna for a decade, it is said that maybe when he will find his Luna she will help him to control his power and he would be able to get back to normal, since he is the only Prince for the werewolf sect now.
But the reason Davies choose me because I am a human being. A werewolf can have only one Mate for his rest of life and it is decided before they are born. Once an alpha have a luna he needs her, more than water and oxygen he needs his Luna.
Davies used this term Marriage to obfuscate his true intentions. A human can never become a Luna for an alpha, he just wants to use me and make my family bow to him.
My life in their sect is going to be more hellish, they are going to treat me just like an a worm in the mud, used to vent everything they have suffered till now...
My heart was hammering on my chest, I was scared, scared to even imagine how I am being thrown in front of those animals, scared knowing their Malevolent intentions, it feels me with fear.
I was running and running until I was away from the mansion and my eyes falls on the glittering water of the lake, the image of flowing water slowly filled me with comfort, now my mind was more relaxed.
I slowly walked towards the Lake, walking on the green and soft grass that was adoring my feet which was bleeding form running in the woods barefoot was giving me a sense of serenity.
I dipped my bleeding feet in the flowing cold water, my mind was still lingering on the thoughts. I was about to calm down when I heard a familiar voice...
"Are you ready for the marriage" a man wearing clothes covered in gold and silver in his 20s with hair like golden thread glowing in the sunlight reflected in the lake water.
"What are you doing here Aaron" I said while looking at the reflection in the lake, my mind was still not clear but I pushed all my thoughts back for the time being.
"I came because I heard that you are getting married" his voice was filled with calmness but there was a some wrinkles between his eyebrows that was visible on his face and it was hard to read meaning of it.
I was already exhausted from my thoughts so I remained silent. A wave of cold air passed flickering my hair and leaving a soft shiver down my sleeveless arm.
After waiting for my reply for a minute, he sit next to me staring at the Lake which was glittering with the sunlight and the forest where flicker of cold waves passes one after another
"Davies is getting dangerous with each passing day... if it's goes like this---"
I interrupt him in middle and looked at him with eyes filled with rage "You are the crown prince..you must've known about it but you didn't care to tell me" my words were Sharpe filled with the emotions I was feeling at that moment
My words made him look down and he speaks almost like a whisper filled with anguish "I talked to father but he didn't listen to my one word"
What was I expecting from Aaron, I knew well that the king wouldn't mind any plead of anyone including my parents. He loves his EMPIRE and for that my sacrifice is lesser than a life of an ant for him.
With a hiss my disappointment leaves my lips and I couldn't care less about the disrespectful expression I was wearing. "You know i will die the moment i set foot in their territory"
"You shouldn't think negative....I " Aaron paused for a second lingering on his thoughts like he was correcting what he wanted to say "My father and your dad will never let you die" his words were determined filled with confidence, like he knew well that even if the werewolf were getting powerful the humans can still step on them if it was needed so desperately.
As few hours passed the sun started to radiant red soft light from the glittering white and yellow light.
As the sun was sitting on the edge of the forest Aaron stands and dust off his clothes with soft pat before extending his big hands towards me.
I held his hand and stand while dusting off my the branches and grass off my dress.
As I stand on my feet a sudden hiss leave my lips as my expression grow that of in pain, Aaron looked at me as his gaze falls on my feet "Again you are wondering around barefoot"
From childhood I have felt that I have a strange connection with the forest, I always like to climb on trees, bath in lakes and wonder around in forest but as life goes by my parents started to impose one after another restriction and I was prohibited from running around like a animal.
After looking at my feet with scares Aaron didn't give a second thought before he took off his royal shoes for me, even a shoe was covered with gold and red soft velvet...Aaron does this a lot and with time i have started to get comfortable with his unusual kindness he shows towards me.
I wear his shoes and as I looked up I saw aaron staring at me with a half smile and a longing in his eyes, it was like he was looking at something precious which he is losing with each passing second.
He slides his hands on mine while lifting it up and placing a soft kiss on my knuckles, after twisting and turning his lips for few seconds finally the words left his sealed lips "don't worry I will save you for sure Lina"
Lina..yeah Lina he sometimes calls me that, apparently in a very weird situations just like now.
But I felt a kind of desperate effort in his voice that was screaming me to believe on his words....believe that he would come to save me.
Without knowing the sun already set and we were standing under the moonlit sky. And suddenly we heard a long Howl, the werewolf were howling that echoed in the night forest scaring the animals of the forest amd a warning that they are going to start their hunt.
