Revenge On My Ruthless Mate

NATALIA STONE A loud banging noise on my door jolted me out of my sleep abruptly and I found myself jerking out of bed in shock. The screams of women, cries of children and growls of men filled my ears as soon as I rushed outside the bedroom to find out what was going on. The whole place was in chaos, loud noises of gunshots dominated the hallway, I could see some of my father's guards fighting the strange werewolves, defending the members of our pack. “My lady, we are under attack” Melina, my handmaiden said as she appeared behind me. She grabbed my arms and pulled me away with her. “We have to leave now, please. It's too dangerous, my lady, let's get somewhere safe” she explained to me. I followed her out of the hallway leading to the backdoor but I grew worried as I thought about my father who was probably in there fighting these werewolves. They seemed much more than they usually are whenever they come to attack us. We were already used to these attacks, this was the fourth one in six months and in the previous ones we've always conquered, even though we lost a notable amount of werewolves, my father always makes sure that we made it. As Melina led me towards the backdoor I found myself unwilling to go with her. “No, Melina, I cannot leave with you. My father is there and I have to help him!” U declared. As the lady of the pack and future Luna, I've been assigned with the responsibility of choosing an alpha for the pack. Tonight was my eighteenth birthday celebration where my father planned to announce my engagement with Alpha Raymond Sinclair, the Alpha of Red-Moon pack. During my childhood days, his pack and ours had an agreement to betrothed us together, growing up, I realized that life was more than getting into an arranged marriage, I've always wanted to have the liberty to choose a life partner, I've also wished to find my mate soon so I would be free from my father's arrangements, but after the first two attacks, I was convinced that the alliance with Alpha Raymond would be of help to us so I accepted. I couldn't believe that we got attached again right before my ceremony commenced. It was still too early and unexpected. I looked around, seeing the huge chaos around me, this was my pack and I couldn't just flee and let this happen to it. I am the future Luna and I have to protect my pack. I pulled my hands out of Melina's, glaring into her eyes that held an emotion of fear. “I'm sorry Lina, my pack needs me. And I have to do this” I said to her before transiting into my wolf and raced back into the mansion to fight. I am a strong warrior, I've had my wolf since I was fourteen, my father praised me for being strong despite being his only child. I've never failed him once, I fought in a war when I was young and we won. I have always been a powerful Luna, I wasn't going to back out now. As I ran inside in rage, a huge gray werewolf crossed my path and I stopped to fight. Bringing out my sharp claws, swinging it across his face, I didn't show any mercy in our Kombat as I fought effortlessly. Finally, I killed him, and I went further inside to fight the rest of the werewolves. The fights were brutal and I grew weak and unable to fight any further. I had transited back into my human form, I barely had clothes on as I one I wore was torn and unable to cover my body fully The fight is finally over. I am standing in the middle of the living room without about a hundred dead bodies, most from our pack and some from the other. There was a large pool of blood beneath my feet, I had to run and find my father. I haven't seen him since the fight started. The sun was fully out and the day was bright, but it wasn't more of a bright day for me since this attack happened on my birthday. Will I ever be happy to celebrate the day I was born? I asked myself rhetorically as I rushed upstairs to my father's bedroom to find him. As soon as I reached the hallway leading to his bedroom, I heard sounds of footsteps approaching, I hid quickly at a corner where I could barely be seen. The smell of blood lingered around my nose, making me a little uncomfortable hiding there. A group of men dressed in black passed me by, unknowingly to them I was there watching the whole situation. I watched them walk into my father's bedroom and then, a loud gunshot noise sounded. I almost screamed, frightened that something must've happened to my father. They were all inside while two guards stayed outside to guard the door which was slightly opened. I couldn't see anything but one thing for sure was that my father was in danger. For the first time in my life, I was totally helpless. In a few minutes, they all walked outside, and I saw their faces. The man who seemed to be their leader, alpha Raymond Sinclair, carefully looked around and observed the hallway before he spoke. “Find and bring her to me” he ordered. His cold face had a small scar right above his left eyes, his thin dark lips pressed on each other. Dressed in a dark suit stained with blood near the collar, no one would've expected such an enigmatic man to be a killer. Isn't he the same man my father had trusted in to get married to me and protect our pack? I thought to myself as I watched his suspicious movements around the hallway. Soon, he left alongside his men and I was able to go inside my father's bedroom to check what went on with him. Opening the door completely, I saw my father laying down on the ground in a pool of his own blood, with a gun right beside him on the ground. “No…” a guttural scream tore out of my lips as soon as I sighted him. My knees fell on the ground and I crawled to him. My heart was shattered into pieces, uncontrollable tears streamed down my cheeks as my body quivered. “Father, who did this to you?” I asked rhetorically , holding him tightly to my body. He was completely cold and his face turned pale. “F… father” my voice quivered and my breath seized. “Please, wake up” I cried. The sounds of footsteps approaching the bedroom made me panic, but I was too weak to move, all I wanted right now was to avenge my father's death.
