Prelude
It was the night of our 8th birthday, mine and my twin brother Renegade. We had a wonderful family dinner with our parents, Randall and Regina. Then we had a small party with friends from school, we played games, told stories and opened our gifts. We all ended the night with a large bonfire behind our pack house.
After the fire, we all went up to bed, but were woken up several hours later by the screams of our fellow pack mates. I ran out to the balcony connected to my room and saw the c*****e laid out before me. Bodies lay all over, our best warriors fighting off the rogues that had managed to sneak past our border patrol.
I ran out from my room to find my parents and brother, hoping they weren't among the bodies outside the pack house. Finally, I found my mother directing the women, children, elderly and wolf-less teens to the secret bunker through the kitchen.
"Oh! Riley! Have you seen your brother? You both need to get down to the bunker with the others until this is over and do not come out until your father or I come to get you.".
"I haven't seen him Mama, but let me go find him while you get the others downstairs. I love you Mama."
I left the kitchen to the backyard to find Renny. The scene laid out before my eyes was one that I will never ever forget. Dead bodies, blood, screams coming from all around me. Before I knew it, I became lost in the chaos.
Trying to leave the grounds undetected, knowing that if the rogues caught me, I'd be killed for being the alpha's daughter. I took off for the woods running in my bare feet and night gown. I ran as fast and as quiet as I could until I couldn't hear the screams anymore.
After some time running as fast as my tired legs would carry me, I stopped next to a large oak tree and leaned against it to catch my breath. Then, I heard a twig snap behind me and a large ferocious growl. I turned around slowly and saw a large dark gray wolf with yellow eyes staring at me like he wanted to tear me apart.
The wolf then transformed into a tall, muscular boy of 16 or 17 with black hair, and dark brown eyes completely naked.
"Who are you?" he asked me taking a step towards me.
"I..I'm Riley Stone. Please don't kill me. I haven't done anything wrong. Please." I began to cry. Tears streaming down my face and my body trembling with fear.
"Hm. The alpha's daughter. Maybe I should kill you here and now to get my father's approval. But, on the other hand, I could take you and make you my personal slave. Make you wish you were never born. Or that I had killed you. How old are you little one?"
"I just turned 8." I replied.
"No wolf yet. Good. Don't need you shifting and trying to fight me or run. I think I will keep you alive but we'll keep it our little secret that you are the alpha's daughter. I'll keep you alive as long as you do everything I say and don't f**k anything up for me."
