Tangled Destiny

Chapter 6

Sasha's POV

“Go back to the bed” he shouted at me the moment he sighted me. I rushed back to my bed with him following me straight into the room.

“Who are you and what were you doing in the forest?” He did not hesitate to ask me directly, and I was puzzled for a moment. How do I answer this question? And from the look on his face, he didn't appear to be like someone who would save me.

“I… I uhm... I lost my way”, I replied, feeling scared that they might do something to me if they discovered where I came from. My pack–or former pack rather–has a lot of enemies because of its strength. The Wildermoon pack, which was the name of my pack, was the strongest and very peaceful. This aroused jealousy and resentment from other packs.

“Remain in this room till I let you go,” he said to me and left. What type of situation is this? Where have I even landed myself?

First, it was the death of my parents, then the death of the alpha who was filling that void in my life, and now this strange land and pack members. Why does everyone act funny in this place? Is this what my fate was meant to be? Moon goddess, why have you chosen to bring evil continuously on my way?

I did not know what to do again as I began to feel my mind going numb after I interrogated myself about our continuous misery. Maybe I shouldn’t have done that. My head is spinning, and I need a huge magnitude of rest.

‘You should not have done what?’ I heard a voice from… where in particular? “Who's that?” I threw the question into the air as the voice also came from the air.

After some time of deafening silence, I asked again, but no one regarded my voice. I guessed it was just another hallucination or maybe the effect of my blackouts. I should probably get some rest because I am already tired. ‘Tired of what exactly?' the voice reiterated, and I immediately jumped out of my bed.

What is going on? Am I going insane, or what is this voice I was hearing? The worst part is that it seems to be coming out of my head.

Soon, the door knob was being twisted, and I got back to my bed at a speed I never knew I had before.

The doctor walked in and gave me some prescriptions to take. “Take the yellow one immediately after you finish having your dinner and the black one in the morning before breakfast. "The alpha prince has ordered me to discharge you,” just like he knew the question that was on my mind. But where do I go from here?

The doctor left the room and someone else walked in. Why are these people acting like robots? Yes, I knew about robots from the stories my parents used to tell me about the human world. They also said that was how we were introduced to technology and got some of the things we have today.

According to my late parents, the human world and the werewolves used to interact and do things together more often than the way we co-exist now.

One of the werewolf packs wanted to seize the technology of humans and use it to wipe the humans from existence and take power all to himself. This brought war between the human world and our world.

The humans wiped out almost all the werewolf packs, and we were lucky to have survived the critical war. Only seven packs were left with fewer inhabitants. The war made a mess of the werewolves' unfortunate world.

My parents told me they used robots to war against us and that was how I knew how robots walked. My mom often illustrated it, and Dad would mimic their voices, and we laughed over it. Oh, I miss my parents.

“I said come out!” I heard a thunderous voice that jolted me out of my trance. I didn't know I had drifted into my fantasy and reminisced again.

"S… sorry, I didn't know how long you've been calling me” I sincerely apologized for my rude attitude, and I was ashamed of myself for zoning out. I couldn't believe it.

“You had better be lucky the alpha prince doesn't feed you to his hungry dogs; he is not the type to be kept waiting”, he said to me, which made my body tremble. Dogs? What dogs? Is this the pack where a ruthless alpha prince cuts off the hands and feet of his enemies and feeds the remainder of the body to his dogs?

I can't believe this is where this evil fate of mine has finally landed me. What purpose do I have to fulfill in this evil land? Oh, my ancestors, please take me away because I can't bear the thought of living in hell.

I trailed behind him, and soon we got to somewhere that looked like a palace. It was elegant and everywhere was beautiful and neat.

In no time, we got into the palace, and he handed me over to a maid. She gestured for me to follow her. I didn't waste any second before I followed her order. Yes, her order. I am afraid of being eaten alive by some ugly dogs and I have to take it as an order from anyone in this pack.

“This is your room. The water you need for your bath has been prepared for you, and you will join the royal household to eat dinner.” She told me and I couldn't help but reminisce about my arrival in my former home. This was almost exactly the same way I was treated. The only difference? I was still a child at that time.

“If you need anything, I am the one you should let know,” she added, and left the room. I nodded when I acknowledged she was done speaking, but she had left the room already. I say people are weird and strange all the time, but I am something more.

I quickly made my way to the bathroom to take my bath. In no time, I was done taking my bath and had changed into my new clothes. Is this something about royal households? All you need is always in order and right there at the right time.

I collapsed on my bed to take a nap and maybe wake up in the evening before dinner. Why does this dinner sound like it's going to be a big deal?

‘Yes, it is a big deal’, the strange voice from the hospital room returned, and this time, I could say this was coming directly from me.
