The Alpha's Shadow

Chapter 5: The Escape

The hospital was so quiet, I found a way back, but it was sealed by a girder, and the only way I could pass was by transforming myself into a wolf to be able to pass through it. But I have a problem, and the problem is that the hospital is too quiet, and I will definitely be noticed. The second problem is that I want to take the dress with me. The dress is so beautiful that I couldn't resist it; it's a pink dress made with animal skin, and the upper part is designed with silk and a bead. It's a dress that screams royalty.

After contemplating what to do, I decided to leave the dress and go. I moved back into the toilet and locked its door. As my transformation took place, I tried not to groan or make a sound. After my transformation, I climbed up the toilet seat and opened the door. It was now time to open the first door to the toilet when I heard a nurse coming to check up on me and as she opened the door. I ran back to the toilet and climbed on top of the seat to avoid her seeing my leg. As she knocked on each door, I didn't make any sound. The only thing that made a sound was her knock on each door.

As she walked past my own door, I peeped through the peephole to see where she was and saw that she was already at the end of the stream, very far from me, and she left the second door open. I quickly sped past through the door. She turned around to see who it was but didn't see anyone. I passed the second toilet door, and the first big door remained, but she didn't leave it open, so I hid under the handwashing area cupboard.

When she was done and was about to leave, I waited patiently for her to open the last door so that I could slip myself out. Immediately she opened the door and turned to close the door. I slipped off, and my tail touched her leg. She screamed and pressed the hospital alarm bell, but I was already out through the garden. Immediately, I ran out. I rushed back to Niamon's house and found her sleeping outside. I quickly turned back to a human and opened the door.

“Where have you been? "I told the pack about you, and they waited to see you, but you were nowhere to be found, she asked in a sleepy tone.

“I'm really going through a lot right now."

Immediately, I said that she jumped off the bed, wiped her eyes with her hands, and asked.

“ Did you experience another werewolf hunter?”

"I wish I did, because this one is more deadly than the hunters. I experienced a vampire that said I have to work my way out for freedom.

She looked at me in pity and hugged me. Holding my hand, she said, “Let's go inside; the walls have ears. We can't have this conversation here.

We went inside and sat on the bed. She brought me a cup of tea and a sandwich as she watched me eat.

She asked, “Why are you here?

“Don't worry, it's been a long day; I will tell you everything tomorrow," I responded in a concerned tone.

"I'm not feeling sleepy, and this is the best time to have good conversations. I will wait for you to finish eating. Don't worry if you don't want to tell me; I understand. "I just want to know you better,” she said.

After I was done eating, I washed my plate and thanked her. I brought out my kalah, which I love playing so much, and called her for us to play while I unraveled the truth about me coming to Eldrida.

“I'm the only child of my parents, but I grew up in the hands of my wicked grandmother because my parents died before I could even start crawling. I went to school, but I didn't finish college because the bills were too much, and I can no longer afford to pay the rent, my school fees, and also feed myself and my grandmother.

She paused and asked, “Sorry to interrupt you, but were both of your parents werewolves?”

"No, my father was a human, while my mom was a werewolf”.

"I was maltreated by my grandmother and her friends; there was no cousin to run to. My grandmother said that, “if my parents had not given birth to me, they wouldn't have been killed.” I was really pained by the words. They were actually killed in this town by their friends because of power. I came here to find out the truth about them and get my revenge."

At that moment, tears were rolling down my cheek, but she encouraged me to continue and not allow my emotions to stop me from finishing my sentence.

"Let it out, let it out”, she said, with her hand in motion.

I took a deep breath and continued, “I was bullied, starved, and beaten both in school and at home, and all the time, all I could think of was my parents. If they were here, all of this would not have happened to me. Seeing how often my grandmother blamed me for their death, I swore to avenge their death.”

She patted my back and sat close to me, putting my head on her chest. She asked, "When did you turn?”

I had a fight with one of my classmates and mistakenly pushed him, and he hit his head on a very sharp object, causing him to bleed to death. After it happened, that night was horrible. Nobody knew I was the one that did it because I ran off in fear after pushing him. It was a very terrible & wicked experience. I went home that day, but the night was more terrible. I almost died from the transformation. "I didn't know what I was doing after the transformation, and my first victims were my grandmother and her friends.”

I slaughtered them with my teeth in their sleep, one after the other.
