ARIEL THE CURSED WOLF

A special guest

Ariel's POV

We were told today to attend to the alpha's very big farm. This was kind of my hubby as I was used to herbs in my previous life. I used my herbal knowledge to save Patrick quite a lot.

But I wasn't having it today, we were given little food for breakfast, and the sun was scorching. I was almost passing out from the heat and body weakness I was feeling, but I tried to put myself together not to incur the wrath of the supervisors and commanders.

Suddenly, we were all ordered to retire to our dorm. A special guest was arriving at the alpha's house and they wanted us to prepare to meet him.

While at the dorm, there was a ruckus. Everyone started cussing at the slave ancestors.

It was a known fact that before the mutilani practice, slaves had a mind and conscience of their own. But they went rogue and killed their masters, and because of that, the practice of mutilani began.

"Stop blaming your ancestors... You living hope has a solution for y'all." Luff spoke on top of his voice as he climbed on one of the bunks to get their attention.

"There is no hope!" One Mutilani said.

"We can't be helped! We're doomed!" Another said, and the noise started again.

"Let him speak!" A husky deep baritone voice spoke out and everywhere got quiet immediately. It was Tana the most respected and feared mutilani, a were-beast.

"Ariel here is our hope. She could help us! Our redemption is living amongst us." Luff said with a wide smile on his face.

I was so shocked to hear that, still trying to recover from the farm stress.

"How is that possible?" Everyone asked.

"she's blessed with the powers of immortality and rebirth because she's a vampire breed. But... Ummm... She needs to die and then... Ummm..." Luff said trying to find his words.

"She needs to be killed and given a lot of blood before she can awaken as a true vampire," Tana spoke.

"yeah... Yeah... That's it, but I can't quite figure out how to do that yet... This is where your suggestions come in." Luff said as he quickly jumped down from the bunk.

"If she needs to die, then the only way is for her to join the pack. And not any pack, the alpha's son's pack... Great news too, he's coming back from battle today with his packmates." Susie added.

Everyone was confused about the whole thing just like me. I haven't even turned to my vampire side, how could I ever pull this off?

"Are you sure this is going to work little hope boy?" Tana asked Luff.

"Well... I'm... I'm not sure... But what are the odds... We can only give it a try." Luff replied feeling so unsure of his answer.

"This is surely going to take time. And it needs all of us to pull this. Can we all do this?" Susie asked but no one answered.

"I... I don't think I'll ever be ready for this... I'm not ready to lose my life on a wasteful adventure. I'm out." I said to them all as I walked out feeling so sad and shedding tears.

The nerve of them trying to kill me just to give luck a chance. Even Luff and Susie whom I'm beginning to trust were in support of this. God, why am I too cursed? Please take my life already, I said to myself as I continued wailing.

Suddenly, we heard a loud call from outside.

"All mutilanis gather at the garden now. Viktor the son of your yuni wants to make his appearance before y'all!" One of the guards instructed.

We all made our way out of the dorm immediately and got to the garden immediately. It was still scorching and I'm not fully recovered from the last stress. I silently prayed that this would be over soon so I can have some quality rest. I've had enough for today.

They started clearing a way for someone making an entrance to our front. I was pushed behind and I almost fell because that took me be surprise.

When I recollected myself I saw about ten men and alpha smoker making an entrance. And finally they all stood right in front of us. I made my way to the front to have a clearer view.

"I know many of you don't know my son, Viktor. He's a warlord and he has come back to rest before embarking on his next mission... Please pay your respect." He said with a proud smile on his face.

Everyone bowed and I quickly followed suit while we'll chanted.

"Welcome back out great master! Our lives belongs to you our Lord!" We all chanted.

"So, my mutilanis... Help him have a nice stay here. You would be assisting him a lot... And if he like you, he might as well make you part of him most feared pack." Alpha smoker continued.

"Great to meet y'all... Well, I'm really impressed the number has gone up highly from the last time I was here." I think Viktor, the alpha son was the one addressing us now.

He stepped down from the podium and walked closer to us. He was only wearing a skirt made of rich white wool. He was bare-cheated with a fitting and firm muscles and six packs. He had long dark flowing hair that's unpacked. I couldn't help but admire his devilishly handsome looking face and beautiful brown eyes.

"I hope you so serve me well, and you'll be honored to fight alongside me." He continued.

But there isn't any honor fighting alongside him like he paints it to be. What's the use of fighting and dying and never to be remembered for your bravery just like Luff's previous corner-mate.

I got uninterested already and wanted this ego party to end immediately. I quickly put out an uninterested face.

"You..." Viktor pointed out to me calmly.

"Me?!..." I asked in surprise as everyone turned to my direction.

"Yes you... Why keep such a face? Have you no respect for me?" He spoke calmly and cold but I could feel the annoyance and resentment from his gaze.

"I'm... I'm so... Sorry... I'm sorry... I wasn't doing that for you..." I begged as I immediately got scared.

"Dad. This one lady here... What her name?" Viktor asked his father and still keeping his angry gaze at me and pointing at my direction.

"Ariel, a were-vampire, my boy." His father replied.

"She will be my tool for s****l satisfaction until I leave for another mission. That's her punishment for disrespecting me." He instructed coldly and and sternly still keeping his angry gaze at me.

I was mad at the point, not again. At this point, I feel for this few days, I've seen more pain and misery more than all the mutilanis. My eyes began to well up as I tried to control my tears from coming out.

"My child, I can't stop you. But be careful, your can't let her get pregnant for you it's very abominable. Are you sure you want to go on with this order?" Smoker asked his son as he walked down the podium and moved closer to Viktor.

"Of course I know the customs and traditions of our land. I won't let that happen, the herbalist will make sure that doesn't happen... Dad, she must pay for that disrespectful look she gave to me." Viktor continued...
