Chapter one
Shyla POV’s
Locked up in the room all my life, I’ve never for once wondered what the outside world looked like. I was content with the explanation my father gave for locking me up. He told me, I was his next successor and I needed to be protected from those who wanted to hurt me.
At first I thought I and Aunt Succy were the only one on this earth because she was the only person I’ve ever laid my eyes on. But I concluded I was wrong when I saw another man when I was five years old. He was introduced as my Dad. Ever since then. They were the only people I’ve ever laid my eyes on.
I spent my years being tutored and nurtured by Aunty Succy who told me I was a werewolf after I freaked out the day I turned. I was willing to be the good daughter dad wanted, but not until a particular day.
It was just like every other normal day, I was with Aunt Succy doing the usual when she got an upset stomach, she excused herself and ran into the bathroom forgetting her phone which was on my bed.
I innocently took her phone without any evil intentions. I glanced at her phone and I saw there was no password because it was already turned on before she left.
I was glancing through her phone, happily because this was the first time I came in contact with the legendary gadget she used to tell me about.
Just then the phone chimed. It was a notification and it stated “Werewolves and their mates,” Curiously I clicked on it and a video came on.
I was shocked when I saw what they were doing. My eyes almost came out of its socket, my whole body vibrated, but for some reasons I enjoyed what I saw. The s*x escapades between them.
I heard the bathroom door opening and I hurriedly kept the phone back pretending like nothing happened.
Ever since that day, I’ve always wondered when I’d have my mate, imagining if the thing inside that lady could be inside of me.
I've been with this little fantasy growing in my head for years until I turned eighteen. My new quest was the escape from here just to experience the feeling of being with my mate.
“Shyla, Shyla, Shyla!” I heard my name abruptly and I flinched, coming back from my reverie.
“What’s wrong? I've been talking to you for some minutes now but you didn't say a word,” Aunt Succy said and she sat down on the bed beside me.
“I'm fine Aunt, just a little bit tired,” I replied knowing she was here to tutor me as usual.
“Shyla you know your Dad would get upset if he finds out you're not studying,” She replied.
“I'm tired of all these lectures. Can I just sleep for a while? By morning I promise to listen to whatever you are going to teach me,” I replied with a puppy face I knew she couldn’t resist.
“Fine just for today, I’ll be back by tomorrow morning,” She said and she took the books she came with. She pecked me on my cheek and with a light smile she said. “Go to bed early Shyla, I don’t you complaining about anything tomorrow morning,” She warned seriously,
“Good night Aunt,” I said and she smiled then she walked out of my room.
I stood up, finally having the courage to do what I wanted to do over the years. I quickly went to the curtain, and I tore a long part of it, and tied it around my window, ensuring it was strongly attached to my window. Then, I immediately rushed to the bathroom, and they took a hidden rope I'd managed to gather over the years. I rushed back into my room, and I tied the rope against the curtains. Then I threw the long rope down to the floor.
“Don’t be angry, Dad. I promise to be back after exploring everything I've wanted. Be sure not to be hard on Aunt. I love you,” I wrote this on a piece of paper, then I kept it on top of my bed, hoping to be back as soon as possible before I would be found out by my Dad, but I did drop down notes just in case I didn't come back in time.
I stared at my room one more time, finally concluding on what to do, Then I walked to the rope, grabbed it, and jumped down.
Immediately, I jumped off, my butt landed on the floor, and winced in pain holding the affected area, which resulted from the fall. I tried standing up, but I almost fell back on the floor. I managed to maintain my stance. Then I stood up, looking everywhere, to make sure no one was watching me.
Thankfully my Dad had to fire all the guards around when he noticed I hadn't made an attempt to escape over the years, now it was working in my favor.
I tiptoed to the door, ensuring my footsteps weren't making any sound. Slowly and quietly opened the door, and I crept out of the compound, finally receiving the fresh breeze of the night. That was when I knew I was free, free to explore everything I've wanted over the years.
I smiled. Then I started running to God's nowhere. I just wanted to be far away from where I used to be. That way, I wouldn't be caught easily by my dad, and I would also be able to explore the in and out of my mate’s body. I checked the time on my wristwatch, which was already past 9:00. PM. I sighed, knowing I had to look for somewhere to spend the night. Then, tomorrow morning, I'll continue my quest to explore.
I continued walking and running for hours without noticing anyone around. Finally I got to the mainroad,I felt happy knowing I was already far from home. Suddenly, I heard a loud boom of music and I followed the directions which led me to a building with different colors of light. This was the first time I'd seen something like this in my entire life.
Standing outside the building, I could see some ladies dancing and twerking, while some men were spanking their ass. It seems everything is working in my favor because this was what I wanted. I hurriedly ran into the building, and I started dancing and jumping, doing exactly what everyone was doing.
“I need a bottle of beer,” I yelled, doing the same thing a lady just did, but as I turned to get the drink, I was surprised to see a group of men harassing some ladies who were kneeling and pleading for their forgiveness.
I looked closely and I saw they were receiving orders from a man who was sitting down with his leg crossed.
My eyes shone with anger as I stared at him, who did he think he was treating ladies as trash? The nerve, I won't just sit back and watch. Even if this was the last thing I'd do before returning back home, I'd do it.
I took the bottle of beer and I walked closer to a table beside them. “Hey!” I yelled and I smashed the bottle on top of the table gaining everyone's attention.
“You! Let them go!” I pointed my fingers at him directly and he immediately turned to face me.
His deep blue eyes pierced into mine, I found myself not being able to look away from his gaze. Even in dim light, I could still see how handsome he looked, he was the finest man I'd ever seen.
I was still drunk in his handsomeness until he said. “Little Girl, go home.”
