Fool to love

Chapter 2

Angelique

My entire body felt like it was on flames, I was smoking up like fish on a grill. I could feel my bones expanding, it was a bitter sweet pain but before it could occurr to me what was going on my animal form had taken shape. Slowly the pain faded into the night.

Wow I stared down in awe,

You've finally revealed yourself to me.

It felt like I was looking down from a really tall building. Her furs were a bright red and it stunned me I never knew wolves could come in red.

If you're this beautiful why would you hide yourself away all these years.

Don't be mistaken we are not friends now shut up and let me lead the way.

Immediately she stuck a foot out she came to a pause and we both knew why, we could pick up the different scents surrounding us they seemed to harbor malicious intents which wasn't a surprise I was the trouble maker here.

In no time I was surrounded by five wolves, snarling and gnarling their teeth at me waiting to attack and I could still smell some others arriving.

My heart raced in fear

'We need to find a way to escape'

But my partner did not seem to share the same thoughts.

She made the first move by tackling the biggest of the pack to the ground, two wolves attacked from behind and they were greeted by her fists which sent them both flying to the nearest tree.

I watched like one who was sat in the front row of a cinema clearly enjoying the movie displaying before me. Say I was to leave a review I'd give nine over ten, the one left is for the missing popcorn.

Little red was having so much fun playing with the tiny wolves when a sneak attack was launched from behind. Caught unaware a metal shaped arrow dug into her arms painfully throwing her off balance, she fell but soon picked herself back up. Blood gushed down her wounded arm turning her shiny red fur into a dark shade meanwhile I fought to remain awake battling with the unfamiliar sense of pain.

"I never knew wolves could come in red." Marvelled a strange voice.

Same thing I said-

Wait, where did that come from?

Soon his shadow came into light unlike the others he retained his human form. A beautiful old man he was probably in his fifties too bad his heart was a complete opposite of his face. I could sniff the heavy malicious intents from a mile away, from the energy he oozed he was probably alpha. Nai nai once told me never to trust an alpha, they're all bad people she said I guess she was right.

In our pack we don't have alpha's we've only had one queen and she's the reason why we're in this mess right now.

Acting on her own little red lunged for him but he shifted in an instant and next thing I know I was staring at the ground from a much higher place and before I could say jack- little red and I were on the floor unable to lift a muscle.

You're just a baby wolf, how dare you

He was in my head and somehow I couldn't get him out.

I transformed back into my human state probably because little red was injured and too weak to go on. In the face of many men I laid on the floor in my bare form. Embarrassed I struggled to cover my innocence but the shooting pain from my arm kept me from making a move, I could sniff it there was poison on the arrow the bleeding just wouldn't stop, I was losing way too much blood it was hard to stay conscious.

With my forced transformation the evil alpha also turned back into his human form. In no time a robe was placed over his shoulder.

"Why bother?" He said advancing towards me, "you're going to die anyway."

On getting to where I was laid helplessly he crouched down on one knee, grabbed my face and forced me to look at him.

"Which pack do you come from my dear?"

When I didn't answer he continued

"No matter which one you say you're going to die but I can make it less painful for you depending on your answer so tell me which one?"

Still no reply from me, he rambled on.

"Say yellow sun and I'll have you hanged in public first thing tomorrow morning. If kaizen claims to own the sun then he's going to have to watch his people die under the sun.."

My ears perked up in alarm

"Say reject and I'll shoot you right here right now. Being a reject life must not have been easy, believe it or not I'm a man of compassion I won't make things hard for you.."

"Say serpent and.." he came to a pause for a split second and I saw something dark flash in his eyes. "Oh you better not f*****g say serpent because trust me you don't want to know how I take care of serpents."

"So tell me, which one is it?"

I laid frozen in my spot unsure of my next words. The wise thing to do right now would be to pick the less painful method since he was making me choose but I was going to die anyway what would the process matter, I would still meet the same end.

"10.." A chant came from inside the castle.

"9.."

It was officially countdown to new year, in the next few seconds I will be turning 18...

"8.."

"7.."

Dying on the same unlucky date as I was born is befitting for a jinx like me...

"6.. 5"

Too bad I never got to meet my mate, would he have loved me?

"4.."

Goodbye nai nai

"3.."

Goodbye Colette

"2.."

I closed my eyes and sucked in a sharp breath.

"1."

Let it come.
