Chapter 2
Ivy's POV.
Everything seemed strange. I was so weak and my head was blank. I felt something in me had left but no, that wasn't the case. It came back. I realized that I was changed, and it seemed maybe I had gotten another life again at that very moment. I recall that had happened years ago and was very long, like three years back. I was standing right at the very spot where I was turning to the very same person who sold me off.
‘Is this happening again? I've been here before. Am I in some kind of dream or trance at the moment? Or maybe inside my head. Where the hell is my consciousness? Where is my real world? Or would this be a starting point for me again, since I prayed for a second chance before my death in the previous world?’
At that moment, a heavy stick landed on my head. It was one of the slave men who carried us to be sold, and I blacked out for a few minutes. I had an encounter with some kind of supernatural being, one which I haven't had in a lifetime.
I wasn't in chains anymore. I was in a very green field with a beautiful view and some domestic animals walking just behind me. The rabbits, the giraffes, the dogs, and the antelopes were all moving around, and the birds flying above my head till I turned behind and saw her staring right at me. She had no legs. She was like air, like spirits, she only gilded towards me slowly.
“Please don't kill me, I am but a stranger in this land. I don't know how I got here.” I pleaded.
“Be still my child, you have found favor in me, you are actually the chosen one and there is nothing that will stop you in your way. All it could take is time. I'm aware of what's playing through in your life.”
At first, I saw all she said as nonsense. I couldn't even try to understand what she meant by all that, but she spoke further and started to wonder.
“You are my seed, you are the light, and you have been chosen to be the one who will lead the people of Night Haven.”
“I'm sorry please, but I don't understand what you are trying to say, all I recall is being caged and dying after torture by my ex-mate in my other world. I am but a stranger here.”
She laughed. “Fear not Ivy, no harm will come to you if you heed my words.”
She looked straight into my eyes and smiled. When she drew close to me, I recognized her. It was the moon goddess herself.
“You're not to be afraid, my child, you are in another world. Yes, but you are here to receive information that will change your life. Your destiny lies in your hands. All you have to do is adhere to my words, and you will see that everything will go as planned. You have your will. I can't decide for you, but I will try as much as possible to guide you.”
This was actually the first time I saw the Moon goddess herself in another realm.
“Please, tell me, what am I to do?”
“I appreciate your courage, I only want you to see the reality in me. You have to believe in your instincts, you have to be sure of what you want, and you have to be sure I am with you because I, as the moon goddess, would have the power to protect you further.”
“Moon goddess, please in my other world, I recall I was in a cage, and I was kidn*pped and, from all it looked like, it seemed my mate kidn*pped me because he wanted to have The Crown of the Alpha for himself. He was so selfish and my best friend Mira betrayed me. What should I do? Is anything going to happen to me in a few months or years from now? Am I in great danger? Am I going to die again because, from all I see I'm in a new world and I think I'm in my past.”
She smiled at me and drew closer.
She tried laying her hands on me but I felt nothing but on her part, she said she felt my hair.
“I feel you, my child, you can't feel me, I'm spirit, you are flesh and blood, you are human and also, a werewolf. In your other world, you were dead, you died in the cage after being manipulated with the wolf's bane stirrup but you have been given another chance, you have to take your rightful place as the Alpha of Night Haven. I know that's true. You had other forces that could try to hamper you or push you out.
All you have to do is believe in yourself you have to trust in your instincts believe in your Wolf do everything possible to make sure you are a step or two ahead of them, the enemies are always around, so you have to be watchful like careful no one must be trusted at this point, you are in great danger but nevertheless, I am here with you, nothing will happen to you, You have to promise you'll stick to everything I say and put them in practice else, I'm sorry there could be no way out I'm going to help further.”
“Please, in my other world, my Wolf was taken away from me and I was dead. How am I sure my wolf is still with me because I don't feel her?
I asked as I tried to reach out to her and it seemed like everything was crumbling when the world changed. I knew I was going back and didn't get an answer from the moon goddess. I vanished and within seconds found myself at the s*****y camp. I felt my slave master whip me twice at my back before I responded to stimuli at last after a while of being in a trance with the moon goddess.
“Get up!”
“Where the hell are you taking me to? What am I doing here?”
“Master permits me to give this i***t another whip on her butt, why is she acting like this? Is she mad? How dare she speak directly to your face? Isn't she aware she's a slave and she needs to be sold?”
I turned around and saw the Multitude of slaves around me. It seemed like I was the one whom they paid more attention to, maybe I was a wolf.
“We will give out this one to the highest bidder.”
‘What does he mean?’ I said to myself. I was going to die at this point because I never knew who was going to buy me and for how much and for what cost.”
They carried us in a small van and took us to a spot where I recall. I knew I was going to be sold and maybe I was going to be the first to be sold. My mind sprung through the past, everything which happened concerning Donald, Mira, the Alphaship, the Sigma Wolf who killed my parents.”
“Stop the car here.”
“What? But the boss promised to sell her off to…”
“I said, stop the car, right here, now.”
It seems the slave master has changed his mind. We were going to go to a different city. To the very place I had thought I would never see again, the very spot where it all happened and ended in my previous word, we were heading straight to Night Haven.
I turned to my left and I saw a lady beside me. She was looking so sick and tired, she had nothing to eat or drink. I felt thirsty. Hours ago the guards had served us some bread and I had one left, I had my hand deep beside me.
“Here you go.”
She didn’t seem to respond because she wasn't sure of who I was and that was actually the first time she got to sit close to me. It was like I was a center of attraction everywhere. We were packed up in the Van and everyone turned to me as a different personality because I was treated differently from others.
“Thank you very much, I appreciate it.”
“It's nothing, just take it and make sure you're full. If you want more I have an extra.
“What? How did you get an extra one like to give you three or more?”
She was so surprised I had one extra in me but the truth was, while we were arguing I slipped out, unknown to the slave master, and had it behind me. Yes, that was a particular trait I had as a werewolf. We had these fast reflexes. I could fight them off but I wouldn't last because they were all armed and could possibly take me down within minutes so I had to let go and do all I had to do to survive at that point.
“Wow, we're here.” The slave masters turned to me and one of them came up to me immediately.
“Stand to your fit you fool.”
I turned to him angrily. I just felt I could just eat him up with my Wolf, well, I knew it wasn't going to last long. I wouldn't see him again because I was definitely going to be sold.
I was taken into the hall alongside two others whom I assumed were supernatural creatures like me but not werewolves because if there were, I would have sensed them with my Wolf scent. It didn't occur to me that I wasn't going to be the first to be taken out since the other person was in front of me.
“Keep them here, the buyer is on his way. He'll be here in less than two minutes.”
My mind raced, my heart beat as I thought of everything I was going to face. Maybe this would be a game changer for me or a doomsday. I knew I was going to be either in trouble or savaged, all I did was pray to the moon goddess.
The door to the hall was opened and I turned to see him staring at me.
‘Oh, dear god, it’s him, my slayer, my bane, Donald’.
