The Lycan

The Escape

There was no escape this time and quickly she replied, “ just a minute, I'd be right down!” She walked to the door as it took ages to even lift her feet. She felt sweat trickle down her neck as her heartbeat raced even faster. Finally, she got to the door to open it.

As the door flung open two heavily transformed werewolves walked in, the last one was the alpha’s guard who spoke to her but he was still in human form. They seized Catrina and took her straight down back to the courtroom.

Back at the courtroom, Drogo was already fuming. His eyes were blood red as if stained in blood or red dye. He couldn't call for his Luna- Sessy because at the time, Sessy was ill and in her chambers.

Sessy didn't have an inclination of what was going on, weeks ago, she fell ill and has been in her chambers being taken care of by her maids and her daughter. She had always warned Catrina to avoid any altercations with her father or any form of defiance to him.

Drogo had summoned Catrina upon appeal of the court members to grant her a second chance. This time, a bath meal. Catrina would be told to enter a bath bucket filled with werewolf/Rugaru blood naked to drink to her fill. This feeding method was given to special werewolves who were either reborn, reincarnated or reinstated as alpha.

Since she would not know whose blood she was drinking, Drogo believed Catrina would accept but there was only one challenge. Drogo wasn't sure she'd want to bathe naked in front of his members of council who would loathe seeing his beautiful daughter naked.

Catrina was dragged helplessly to the courtroom. Although she put up a fight, she was no match for the two already transformed werewolves who held her arm-one on each side.

As they entered the courtroom, the two werewolves returned to human form again both naked. They were given clothes to wear as the kings guard pulled Catrina towards Drogo's throne. Drogo barely looked at her daughter, the fury was still in his eyes. “You may begin!” He said sternly as he beckoned for the bath bucket to be brought to the front.

Just immediately, two transformed werewolves walked in with the wooden bucket. It was huge and wide, had two handles by each side and was long enough to occupy just a single person.

Two other wolves walked in with buckets filled with blood to fill the bath bucket. They kept pouring until they filled it to the brim.

All the council members stared at the bucket keenly and excited, hoping and wishing they were the ones given that opportunity.

It was known that Rugarus had ‘zing’ in their blood making others so powerful upon drinking.

Their blood was only impactful on Lycans alone; it didn't make any difference to Rugarus.

Catrina knelt before her father pleading with him to let her not feed on blood from the blood bath.

“Father, please tell your guards to stop!” She pleaded, her palms joined together.

As soon as the bucket was filled, the two werewolves pulled Catrina from the floor and started ripping her gown apart. Her underwears was torn to shreds without mercy. All eyes looked straight at her as she tried covering her breasts. “Father, please don't do this!” She continued sobbing uncontrollably. After a while, she stopped crying and everyone wondered why.

Suddenly she dropped her hands, held her breath and closed her eyes as the last piece of clothing fell off her bare body.

Catrina opened her eyes in anger, her eyes turned blazing red, she pushed away the wolf on her right and suddenly turned to the one on the left, hitting him hard with her elbow as she jumped on him quickly.

This time Drogo looked surprised as to his daughter's behavior . Catrina’s light skinned body began to turn brown. Her claws grew as she tore the face of the guard apart. She suddenly growled and pounced on the other guard to bite him.

In seconds, Catrina turned to a huge, monstrous werewolf! She dashed out of the court room and ran for her dear life as she charged at the guards at the courtroom door.

The doors were closed and there seemed to be no way of escape.

By now, all the council members started shifting to werewolves. Drogo shouted at Catrina not to leave, “ Don't leave or you'll be hunted and killed!”. He roared as almost all his council members had turned to werewolves. They surrounded Catrina all in awe and fear at the big brown wolf she had become. They growled and howled at her but she stood thinking of the next line of action.

“You will be exiled and hunted till you are killed, if you choose to leave” Drogo shouted fiercely.

Catrina looked around for an escape route. There was a window right above her head. She leaped through it, shattering the glass across the courtyard as she paced away.

“Don't ever come back!” Drogo shouted as he watched her escape. “Go after her. I want her dead or alive!”

All the council members now werewolves followed her as they chased her into the woods.

Catrina ran for her dear life. It all looked strange to her. “Why would I be chased by the very pack I hunt with?”, She asked herself as she dashed through the trees.

Rays of the sun trickled through the trees forming dark patches on the ground and on her skin. It was her first transformation.
