Loosing It All
~Elena~
‘’There she is! Catch her! Do not let her escape!’’
I took to my heels, the moment that I heard Alpha Carlos command to his guards, the downpour of the rain did not stop me at all because I knew that my life was in danger, I tried to ignore my broken heart that thumped hard against my chest but the images kept flashing through my head.
I could not believe that they were gone for good, it felt like a nightmare and I would be forever grateful to the goddess, if I could wake up from this horrible reality of mine, it was not easy for me to see my pack members lying in the pool of their blood, so many heads were rolling on the ground, it was indeed horrifying.
It was a miracle that I survived the war but I was far from happy because my parents were no longer on this Earth. It would have been better if the goddess had taken me along with them, at least I would have peace in the family reunion instead of leaving me in this cold, wicked world to suffer.
‘’Bring her back to me, dead or alive.’’ His words echoed again in my head and I had to shake it off as I ran.
I kept turning back at intervals to make sure that they were still far away from me until I slipped and injured myself, ‘’Ouch!’’
I did not have to panic much since the alpha blood in me helped me heal faster but then, I was in much more trouble, the men successfully got to me, I struggled to free myself from their grip but I was no match for their strength.
The last thing that I saw before they covered my nose with a handkerchief causing me to black out was one of the warriors smirking.
***
I inhaled suddenly with my mouth open when water was splashed on my body, my legs and hands were tied and from the looks of it, I was in Mystic Shadow pack, the one place that I have always dreaded, right from childhood.
Half of the pack members gathered in the palace to watch me humiliated by the man who murdered my parents, ‘’She’s finally conscious.’’
I shot him a deadly glare through my teary eyes, he was the one who took away all my happiness, I had no home, no pack members or parents.
My life literally went from grace to grass in about an hour, the goddess had surely turned her back on me because she allowed bad things to happen to good people.
‘’Elena, the daughter of Alpha Jackson or should I say, the late betrayer.’’ he added as he stepped down from his throne to meet me who was seated on the ground.
To be honest, I was super scared but I was not going to let them see it, after all, I was once an alpha’s daughter, I would have to make my parents proud, so they would be able to smile from Heaven.
‘’Would you like to see your parents again?’’ he questioned me but I refused to answer him.
Little did I know that my action was going to spite him into doing the worst thing ever, his coffee brown eyes changed into green and a frown was evident on his despicable face, I watched as his claws grew out of his fingers and I gulped down my saliva as I prepared myself for what he was about to do to me, I was so foolish to have forgotten that this man had no patience at all which was the major reason why other packs feared him and kept their distance.
They were literally the black sheep of the werewolf world, most of the rogues running around came from this pack and even, their omegas were rumoured to be very mean due to their suffering.
‘’You, little brat! I do not like being ignored!’’ he yelled at me before scratching my face with his claws.
I instantly winced in pains as blood dripped from my cheekbones to my neck while tears streamed down my face, none of this would be happening if they were still here with me, they made sure to protect me always, ‘’If you are not careful, you will join your parents in hell where they are currently burning!’’
‘’Bring their heads, so that their pathetic daughter would see them one more time!’’ he ordered one of the guards and he did not hesitate to listen to the alpha’s command.
My heart shattered into tiny pieces as I saw the lifeless heads of my parents in a transparent jar, my throat was burning and I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs about how I hated Alpha Carlos so much, he was so cruel to have done this to them.
‘’Anytime I take a look at them, it brings a smile to my face. In their next life, they would not try to play with me like that again. There is a reason why other packs are scared of me, what were your parents thinking? That could be the hero?! It was a peaceful agreement at the beginning but what did your father do?! He thought it would be wise to report me to the Lycan king, such a foolish man!’’ he announced.
They did not deserve this at all, war was not a reasonable option, what was I even saying?
My pack was attacked, they were not armed at all! One minute, we were dining happily and the next, arrows and swords were flying in the air with blood spilling.
‘’You managed to survive, there must be a reason why the goddess chose to spare your life… for me to make you carry the cross that your parents abandoned…’’ he paused for about a minute, then he turned back with a creepy smile.
‘’Alpha Jackson, you are going to watch as I make life miserable for your little princess. The girl that you have guarded all this while from the rest of the packs, from princess to a slave…such a sad story.’’ the tone of mockery in his voice irked.
If only I could fight back but if my parents could not, what gives me the silly idea that I would be able to?
He was still ranting about his evil plans for me when a sweet scent wafted up my nostrils and I got distracted immediately as I needed to know where it was coming from.
‘’Mate.’’
I ignored the voice in my head because there was no way that the guy whom the goddess had chosen for me would be from this pack.
That would be a curse which I would reject without thinking twice.
