Forbidden To Love

It was the sixth month after the Red Moon pack was attacked and raided. Their alpha, Alpha Liam was killed and beheaded. His head was put in a transparent bag and hung on a rod from a visible angle where all the captives would see it and shiver, a constant reminder that they had no power to fight. Ria was Liam's little sister and after her big brother was killed and she was captured with the rest of the pack that managed to make it alive, she lost all hope for a better future. They had travelled for miles and still didn't know where they were going. The women and children hurdled together in a damp and dirty part of the train that rattled so violently noone could sleep. They were spat on occasionally, fed contaminated water and stale bread twice a day, for six whole months. Their skin and hair itched badly, so badly that Ria had reoccurring day dreams of clean water and soap. Finally, the train stopped and everyone fell silent. Was this it? was this the end of their journey? Would they be put to death here or be turned slaves forever? The rusty old entrance was pried open and a bulky Viking with an ugly scar on his face stumped in. "Up! all of you!" He growled. The girls staggered to their feet weakly. He scanned them to make sure they were complete. There were 8 girls around Ria's age, 10 below the ages of 16 and three women above 34. They were complete. Soon, more men joined him and the girls were bind with chains on both hands on feet. Very roughly, they were shoved out of the train and stood in a line. One of them, called Beta Kingston, addressed the girls. Just like the others, he was huge and very built with bright blue eyes and long beautiful blond hair that stopped short of his shoulders. By now, it was very obvious that members of the Demon Moon pack looked like Vikings. They even spoke and acted like them. Ria watched the brutes with fire burning in her eyes. If looks could kill, they would be dead in an instant. They may be gorgeous men the moon goddess had created but that doesn't erase the fact that they crept into her pack in the dead of the night like cowards, blundered the men to death, desecrated her land, spilled innocent blood and had the audacity to hang her brother's head on a stick like some trophy. Liam wasn't even given a benefiting burial like the king he was and was left to rot like the carcass of an unfortunate animal. She had cried her eyes out till the tears refused to come. Now all she felt was numbness and a growing hatred for the men who stole her life away. By now, she would be in college, harvard precisely because she has a knack for justice and Liam thought she would make a fine lawyer. Her dreams, hopes and future were nothing but Fantasy and she had the bloody vikings to thank. "Now listen up! Beta Kingston started. "We're miles away from your pack so any ideas of escape should be forgotten. You are now on Demon Moon territory and your new lives start here. If any body tries anything funny, I won't hesitate to kill you. You run, you die, you fight back, you die, you disobey, you die. Remember that" he finished. They began to walk. While their beta and a few other men got into shiny new SUVs and drove home, the girls and two other men were left behind to walk. They would march into the pack land through the forest that surrounded their territory. So the march began. The sun was up, the heat was mild yet tortured the women as they walked on. They were all barefoot and Ria could make out a few whimpers and sobs coming from the younger girls as sharp sticks and stones cut into their feet. Her feet hurt too but she refused to make a noise. As the only surviving Alpha, she needed to show an example by being strong for the girls. Finally, after 30 minutes, they made it into pack land. It wasn't like anything Ria had seen before. Demon Moon pack was very very developed and I'm talking Wakanda-like Enhancements. Tall metallic gates rolled open to let them in and the girls couldn't hold in their gasps. Every building stood tall and magnificent, giving the impression that it came straight from a fairy tale book. People zoomed by on hoverbuses and bikes on very spotless and paved streets. The roads were tiled yet built with some magnetic substances that made every vehicle hover above it without touching the ground. None of the vehicles had tires which made sense. Tall oak trees lined every path but they were a sharp contrast to the technological advancements surrounding them. There were billboards and holograms displaying the current news, recently modified laws and every other thing citizens of Demon pack should know. Members of the pack moved about in uniforms which suggested their ranks with beautiful blonde hair and demigod bodies. A few looked at the red haired foreigners. "Breathtaking huh?" one of the men chucked when he caught the girls staring in awe. "Welcome to your new home Lads and trust me, it's way better than your old one" the other added in a thick British accent. **** Kingston strolled into the beautiful palace nonchalantly, smirking at his Alpha; almighty Lyanna. She sat an impeccable throne of gold and silver six feet high, staring down at him with her eagle like eyes. She was merely 26 years old yet gave off the aura of a mighty warrior and ruled with an iron fist so hard that noone dared think she was just a girl. She was female but after every successful war, rumors spread to the other packs that she was male and pretended to be female so that they would think she was weak. After all, the last person who dared underestimate her ended up with his head on a stick. "So? her voice echoed across the hallow room. "Where are the slaves?" "They're outside as we speak. We did a very good Alpha. We snuck into their pack at night and attacked, they security system was weak, too weak infact so it was easy. We killed the all the men just like you wanted and brought the able bodied girls here. They're all yours". "Good. I warned him, didn't I?" "You did Alpha. Liam should've known better than to mess with the Demon Moon pack. Honestly, he saw it coming". "And?" she demanded. He read her mind. "And we put his head on a stick and placed it where it would scare his pack members, your highness". Lyanna stood up and walked down twelve steps to get to him. Up close, he couldn't help but admire her. She was beautiful to behold. Strong, bold and courageous the alpha was dressed in a red and white leather suit that hugged her tall muscular frame. Red boots covered her feet and her bright blue eyes hiding her wolf; Seer, gazed down on her subject with intensity. Her blonde hair was cropped short and the smallest of scars ran across her left eye brow. She broke out into a smile and reached out to put a gloved hand on his shoulder. Though he was older than her, he felt proud to have her smile at him even if it was just a crack. She hardly ever smiled unless she was pleased. "Good job Kingston. Take me to see them. Now". "Right this way, alpha" he turned around walked out. As soon as she left the entrance, Six highly trained Gamma wolves followed behind for protection. ****. The girls were led to a secure patch of land where they were ordered to sit and have breakfast. This time around, they were given apples to much on which wasn't much but was a break from dirty water and stale bread they were given for months on end. Suddenly, one of the men rushed towards them and began to aggressively kick the girls in the shins. "Get up! Get the f**k up you lazy Wolves!" he spat. Once they were standing, he gave them the nastiest stare and spat in their faces. "The Alpha is on her way. As soon as she gets here, I want every one of you to bow down as a sign of respect. Nobody is allowed to look her in the eyes neither are you allowed to look at her shoes. You are to keep your gazes down at all times. Am I clear?!" "Yes" they mumbled. "Damm you stupid bitches. I said am I clear?!" "yes!" Before they knew it, Lyanna was spotted approaching from the distance and every girl lowered her gaze. The men who brought them there lowered their gazes too. Ria looked down at her dirty stinking feet. "Great Alpha" Everyone greeted as she passed by. She spared them no look nor did she reply to their greetings. She simply headed to the captives and stood scrutinising them. They were red hairs, she noted. Every one of the girls were beautiful with long healthy red hair, slender figures and hips strong enough to birth healthy male children for the Demon Moon pack. Lyanna felt satisfied watching members of Liam's pack bow to her in respect. Months ago, word got to her ears claiming Some Alpha, by name Liam, was dragging her name and pack in the mud. Inquires told her that he was alpha of the Red Moon pack, the second most strongest pack in the world. Demon Moon didn't like to cause trouble but Liam refused to shut his mouth after all the warnings she'd sent. He told anyone who cares to listen that Demon Moon didn't scare him and just because their pack worshipped a demon goddess didn't make them stronger than his pack. He insulted Lyanna calling her a coward and a fool. So she did it. She brought him down using a cowardly means that he was too weak to defend. He's dead now and she could clearly see his head on a pole a few distance from her. Someone had told her The Red Moon pack was full of angels and how right they were. The girls in front of her were sickly thin and malnourished yet she could see the beauty behind off of the dirt. After they're well fed and healthy again, she would have her men pounce on them. She didn't see the need for any of the captives but merely wanted to prove a point. Now that that part was taken care of, they were useless to her and would serve her men well if anyone wanted a concubine. They were simply weaklings she would rather strangle to death and dispose of but subjecting them to a life worse than death was another pain she wanted the dead alpha to feel and roll over in his grave if he had one. Nodding in satisfaction, she turned around to retreat but suddenly felt daggers digging into her back. Lyanna spun round with a frown, searching for the fool who dared defy orders to look at her. Her gaze met that of Ria's. The red hair had a look of horror on her face as her eyes met that of Lyanna. Curious, Lyanna came closer, her guards running to surround her in case of imminent danger. Reaching Ria, the smell of Chocolate and Red wine and roses wafted to her nostrils, messing with her sensing and stirring Seer awake. Ria gasped. They were mates! Lyanna stared at the red hair in surprise, her blue eyes locked into green ones. Did she just find her mate among the enemy? Impossible!
