Everyone thinks that being part of a circus would be great, having fun all the time and seeing all the different animals and attractions. Everyone thinks that the circus is the place where dreams turn to reality. Life isn't like that for me though, it's hard, it's cruel and it's dangerous, especially when you're a werewolf. My name is Alexa and this is my story, how I became part of the circus and my life during and after it.

Chapter one My Circus, My Hell
Alexa's P.O.V   I have been part of this circus for I don't know how many years, I wasn't born in it, I wasn't hired. No, I was kidnapped when I was a child. I don't remember much about my parents, I know that my father's name is David and he would rock me to sleep at night, my mother's name is Trish, she would read me stories and tell me about how her and my dad met. I missed them both so much and often wondered if they were still looking for me or if they had forgotten all about me or if they missed me. I was captured by a human many years ago and locked in this god forsaken cage, it was like a circus or a zoo around here.   This was not like a normal circus or zoo though, every night my owner or as he preferred to be called master, would come and take me out of my cage and force me to shift. He would arrange for people to come and look at me, making me run away from them, so that they could hunt me down and drag me back to my cage and these people paid for this….attraction. My master had even put a collar around my neck, so that if I misbehaved it would shock me and he put a chip under the skin on my neck, so that no matter where I went, he would always be able to find me. He always called me his dog and with the way he treated me, it made me feel like one.   I would sit in this cage alone for hours, as I watched other animals enjoy their freedom and walk by me at night, they would sniff the cage or use the bathroom beside it and I would have to bring my shirt to my face just so I wouldn't smell it. I looked up to the sky and saw the moon, it was so huge tonight, the wind blew through my cage and I felt a chill go around my skin. I had long dark hair and it was a mess, my master would never let me brush it, he used to say that it made me look wilder than I actually was and would attract more customers for him. He made it seem as though if was feral and primal, he would make me eat with my hands because that's what animals do.    I hated this place and yet here I am, day after day, night after night, I'm always here. I've forgotten how old I am, it's been so long since I celebrated my birthday and I've forgotten most of my childhood, it's mostly just a blur and it's just been far too long. Tonight is the night that my so-called master lets me take my monthly bath and I hated it. He would always sit there and watch me, as he played with himself. It freaked me out and made me hate taking a bath, he always made me feel even dirtier than I was before the bath. While I was taking my bath he would have people clean my cage and put a fresh blanket and pillow inside, then lock me back up once he said I was finished.   This was my life, day in day out and every week I was hunted and dragged back to my cage. I listened to the animals tonight, hearing the birds sing their nightly song, the owls talked back and forth. I would watch snakes slither across the ground trying to find their food, but tonight was different, tonight something new was happening. I heard howling, like wolves were howling and it was very close. I tried to howl back, hoping that the master wouldn't hear me, but I couldn't help it, I shifted half way and howled my loudest howl into the night sky, then shifted back to my human form. I was scared, what happened if they came and wanted to hurt me. Oh God, I wish I didn't howl like that. master came out angry,    "What the hell are you doing waking me up from my sleep, you stupid b***h of a dog." The master came out yelling, he was so angry and I held my head down scared of what he might do.    "I'm sorry, it's a full moon tonight. I won't howl anymore." I whispered, recoiling to the back of my cage, though it was no use, he smirked and stuck a rod through the bars and shocked my leg, leaving a burn mark.   "PLEASE! PLEASE! NO MORE I BEG YOU! I PROMISE I WON'T DO IT AGAIN! I PROMISE I WON'T HOWL AGAIN!" I screamed out in pain, he jerked it back and stuck it to my side again, making me jerk in pain crying and begging for him to stop.    "You do that again and wake me up, I'll cut your f*****g voice box out." The master yelled at me and I nodded not daring to say anything else, I was too scared to. I watched as he walked back into his house, waiting for the door to shut behind him and I brought out the mirror I had hidden. I looked at my tear stained face, my once glowing sky blue eyes were now just a blur, they were just bland now, they don't shine, even in the dark they don't shine. The howling stopped like It never happened and I curled up in a ball laying my head on this laid so called pillow. It was just a pillowcase filled with hay and the blanket was just a long thin curtain he claimed was a blanket.    I shivered when the wind blew once more, but it was different, I smelled a scent, a few different scents actually and it scared me. One scent smelled like that of a powerful wolf and the second one smelled like it was the scent of a second in command or something like that, I can't remember what they would call it. I pretended that I was asleep, so they would just walk on by and leave me alone. There was nothing but silence, as I squeezed my eyes shut harder and then I heard it, the bars of my cage being broken. I was frozen in fear, trying my hardest not to move or open my eyes and then I heard voices.
