ROSALIND'S P.O.V.
Walking down the streets I felt so exhausted, but I couldn't stop. It was so late at night and the streets of Italy were nowhere to roam at night, but my massive tummy made it hard for me to walk and considering how I almost got kidn*pped a month ago, I was unable to take a cab at night anymore.
The streets were in silence and I perceived a bit of smoke coming from a distance. I knew that it wasn't smoke from the fire, it was from a cigarette. I immediately moved back a bit, knowing that I couldn't let them see me, or I might be dead.
“What do you have here?” I jumped upon hearing a voice from behind me and I noticed three giant men standing behind me.
“Hey!! What's going on there?” The man smoking down the street asked, and my heartbeat increased with every second of the clock.
“She's ours Mateo!” I swallowed heavily as I took a few steps back, but I bumped into someone and I realized they were four not three.
“Please let go of me, I don't have any money please.” Tears filled my eyes as I held onto my tummy tightly and gently.
“You must be new in town, we don't spare any woman, old or young, pregnant or not. Unluckily for you, you won't be able to tell anyone because you'll be dead by the time we are done.” All of them laughed as I looked at them in horror.
He wanted to place his hand on my stomach and I slapped it away protectively.
“Do not touch me!” I snapped as tears rolled down my eyes, but the sound of their laughter sounded like bells to my ear.
“You stupid little b***h!” He yanked my hand.
“Permit me, honey.” I heard a voice in my head.
“Who the f**k are you?” I yelled out and all four of them looked at me angrily.
“She's a fierce one, boss.”
“She'll taste lovely.”
“Stay away from me!” I growled at them as my fingers cracked and changed into claws. I had no idea what was going on. It was as though my body was acting on its own.
“What the hell are you?” They tried to attack me, but I grabbed him by the neck and snapped his body two.
Without thinking, I clawed two of them at the same time and kicked the boss to the ground. He tried to shoot me with his gun and I dodged it before using my claws to rip his heart out of his body and I threw it away.
My hands became normal, and my entire body was covered in blood. What the hell was going on?
“Hey, Rosa.” I heard the voice again.
“Who the hell are you and what have you done to me?”
“Relax, Rosa. I'm your wolf, and you have just been through your first stage of shifting.”
“Have you lost your damn mind? I'm a human!”
“That's what your parents wanted you to believe, the bracket you lost three months ago while fighting with Thanos was the reason I was sealed, your parents wanted you to believe you're a human. That's why I was sealed.”
“That doesn't make any sense. Why would they seal me away from who I am?”
“Because they knew the danger you knew if anyone knew who you truly are. They kept you at the orphanage when you were born. That's all I can remember.”
“Who am I?”
“You'll find out soon enough, not now, especially with the baby coming. Go home, we need a lot of rest.” I felt her absence and I knew she was gone.
The entire information was too much for me to process leaving. I shrugged it off and walked towards my apartment before leaving myself.
I ate some food before climbing onto my bed and lying in a comfortable situation. A question ran through my mind as I held on to the tip of my pillow.
Who am I?
******
Shit!
I threw the sandals away knowing there was no way I was going to see my legs. I slid my legs into some slippers before heading out. I was already late, so I took a cab and hoped my boss wouldn't terminate my employment for being late, but I cannot be blamed. I was way heavier than yesterday.
Working in the restaurant, I realized the place was filled with people who were usually not meant to be.
“You are late.” I jumped as I heard her voice, but she smiled at
“Hurry to the…. Woah! Are you sure you'll be able to work? Aren't you…"
“Do not worry about me, ma'am, I have got my wheelchair, and I'll be fine.”
“You don't need to do this, Hannah will handle it.”
“She looks like she's about to give up.” I pointed towards Hannah, who seemed like she didn't get enough sleep. “... I'll be fine, if I need anything I'll let you know.” She walked to her office and immediately got to the back to put my apron on, and I immediately started to dish out the food.
Working here has been one of the best things in my life. Everyone was nice to me, including my boss, at least for the baby.
“Rosa, can you help me with table five?” Hannah yelled from the other side.
“Sure!” I felt something on my leg and I turned to see Aiden with my wheelchair “... I don't need that.”
“You've been walking for thirty minutes, you…"
“Aiden, I'm not sitting until after an hour, keep the chair aside.” I ruffled his hair and he frowned.
“Hey! I'll get you for this.”
“You'll be dead before the next sunset if you try it” I laughed as I walked towards table five “... Good day sir, what's your order for today sir.” He raised his hand. I felt the air in my lungs being blown out.
“Nice to meet you again, Rosalind”. I felt a massive sense of liquid drop and the last thing I saw was blood all over my legs.
