Chapter 1
Lisanda’s POV
I sobbed quietly as I left the house and ran into the dark woods. I had always been molested and treated harshly by my foster parents because I was a werewolf, born into this world without any special powers. My heart aches from time to time whenever I think about my past, sulking solemnly behind the door of my room. I had always felt the longing to run away from this pack and be free. I felt cursed, like a sin that everyone wanted to avoid in my pack, but I was already used to this hatred since my birth. Tonight, It seemed so uneasy because it was dark and cold outside but It was more comfortable staying here than living in that hell of a house.
If I wasn't cleaning the rooms or washing the toilet; I was being sexually molested by my foster father who would fondle my well-rounded breasts, and squeeze me tightly to himself while everyone was away. I had always endured the soft pain I felt every late nights whenever he sneaked into my room. Even if I wanted to tell anyone; he would threaten to take my life. I was tired of this sort of life, and I had imagined that one day I will find a mate and forget about all my sufferings.
The wind lashed through my hair, as I ran. I was running into the safety of the woods hoping my foster parents wouldn't find me here. I paused suddenly, craning my neck to know where I really was. I stood still glancing at the old log that had a broken enamel. It was in the deep end of the woods and I didn't know where to go from here.
In a daze, I discovered that I was lost. I fixed my gaze on the path, buried with darkness. The sudden alteration of my legs, bruised my feet with a sharp stone that I was unconscious of. I sat down there, on the cold floor, groaning in pains for a moment. I sigh in relief, thinking about what to do.
‘s**t! Sometimes I wish I can run farther than this’
‘Im so tired of this pain, it's killing me slowly’
I still held my toes, trying to prevent the bleeding but it continued. So, I tore my dress and tied the piece round my feet and It ceased for a while. My sweats rolled down my brow but I knew that I had to move quickly from the woods because monsters lurk around here. It was what separated our pack, the moonlight from the woods. And my parents had been the guardian of this forest before they died. My uncle cared less because he never lived there.
I lost my parents when I was 10. They were the alpha of the moon light pack. After they died, my uncle and his wife claimed possession of the pack, leaving me to work as their slave. I was the rightful heir to the pack of the moonlight but they knew I couldn't defend myself and claim my rights because I had no powers. I had accepted my fate, as a powerless werewolf even from a tender age. I was 25, and two years older than Shelia, my cousin who was 23. She instructed me, all around the house while she slept at home doing nothing.
She would drop heap of clothes that weren't dirty for the pleasure of seeing me suffer. Shelia grew up becoming lazy, lacking the basic qualities of a woman. She could not cook, she could not wash nor clean. She had been spoilt by her parents beyound repair. I had seen suitors who had come to marry her but after few weeks of relationship; they ran. She also felt within herself that she had slim chances of getting mated. She was more jealous of me because I was beautiful and more striking in shape and height than her. I also had all the womanly qualities that she desired to get a mate. This made her furious, maltreating me more and more.
As I sat still, a monster walked slowly behind me. The thumping of his legs sounded heavy in my ears, that I was almost lost in fear. The dim light that I had managed through the woods couldn't keep me going for so long. So I had resigned to my fate. I had no super powers as a werewolf which made me more helpless. I turned to face him, with a sorrowful eyes.
‘Please don't harm me, I'm from the pack of moonlight’
‘Hmmmmm’ giggling foolishly
‘Im the daughter of the ruler of that pack,. don't touch me’
‘Hmm, princess Lisanda, we finally meet’
‘Your parents troubled our kind, and killed us in numbers’
‘Forgive them, for the sake that I was innocent’ she said tearfully.
‘Yes, it's my sweet revenge, a sumptuous dinner’ he giggled more loudly.
I buried my head to the ground, expecting him to devour me. Within that moment, someone overshadowed him and pierced his blazing fingers through the monster’s belly and lifting him to the air. I saw pints of blood, dropped slowly till he was lifeless up there. And I saw his body dropped dead. He barely struggled to fight him, because he seemed more powerful that he was. I guessed that, he was a powerful alpha king, probably the best of our generation. When he left him, he fell heavily to the ground, dead. He slowly landed and looked at me for a split second. He couldn't take his eyes off me, and he seemed lost at his endless gaze. I was suprised too because he didn't utter any word. I could recognize him, he was the alpha of the black blood pack.
‘You are Lycan Nathan, the greatest alpha of our time’.
‘How do you know me? Who are you?
‘Im Lisanda.
‘Wow Princess Lisanda heard so much about your parents’
‘Yes they are dead now, and my life is a ridicle.’
‘I don't get it, what are you doing outside’
‘Its so late, he continued in his emotive gaze.
I was still on the ground injured, trying to lift my legs and regain control of this situation. I found it difficult because the legs still hurt. He reached out his hands to me, and as I tried to lift myself up, I almost fell which made him he hold my waist firmly. I looked into his adorable eyes, left lost in my thoughts. He was so handsome and sexy.
I closed my eyes slowly as he kissed me. I let the emotions drive through me, and the rush poured easily. After he did, he quickly acted as if nothing had happened, but he enjoyed the warmness of my lips. I wanted it too, but I became shy after that moment.
‘Let me take you home’
‘I would be glad King’
‘What were you doing in the wood’ I asked.
‘I just love to walk around late in the night’
Lycan Nathan drove me home in a swift and had reached the front of my house. I was scared and elated at the same time. I had never come home this late, but I felt an ease because the Lycan king followed me. I slowly walked slowly into the living room where everyone had gathered with anger burning on their faces. They were becoming so impatient and scared thinking that I had been hurt in the dark forest.
