The weather felt cold as the rain poured down on the castle but it wasn't as cold as the hands of the man who had his gripped tightly around my neck.
Slit her throat.
Do it now.
I heard my father's cold voice as I struggled to pull the arms from my throat.
All the elders of the kingdom stood in a spot as if they were watching some drama.
My tears weren't enough, I was going to be killed , as a sacrifice for some barbaric ritual, this wasn't what they told me.
My father stood right in front of the fire watching me.
"Father pls"I begged again the tears coming out as I struggled to pull away from the man's grip.
My father's face was blank and cold, he had no expressions towards me, he wasn't the man that had trained and loved me all my 18 years of living he was different.
A monster, a cold blooded calculated killer and yet he claimed he wasn't.
I couldn't die,not now,I wasn't going to be a sacrifice.
"If you won't do it, then I will" my father stated rather coldly but before he could get any closer, the man pressed the knife directly to my throat and there I felt it .
The blood, the pain and at that instant, something snapped inside of me and I used my legs to hit in-between the groins of the man who held me.
The knife fell from his hands and I broke away from his hold I turned to him and just like I had been done as a prey I grabbed the knife and dug it right into his throat .
It all happened so fast and right now my father looked horrified but before he could grasp it, I ran towards the door.
"Don't let her escape,bring me her head" he screamed so loudly as I ran past the guards at the door and ran out of the dungeons as fast as my legs could carry me .
The dungeons were right under the castle and all I knew was that I couldn't escape, not with my fathers men charging behind me hotly.
The gown I wore was weighing me down and so I used the knife I had with me to tear off the gown and I was left with the Lenin material.
This was the first time I had to fight , never had I fought in my life.
The strong stench of mold and decay filled my nostrils as I stumbled through the darkness .
As I ran I could hear the heavy footsteps of my fathers guards right behind , they were coming .
The next moment I was out of the dungeons and standing at the back of the castle that I once cherished .
I could take to the woods and escape but I knew it, I knew that my father's men would catch up on me sooner or later.
I saw that look on his face, it wasn't of love ,my father was determined to have me killed.
"Find her and bring her to me alive"
I saw the guard jump on the horses coming towards my direction.
As the thunder struck and The rain kept pouring the guards eloped towards the woods in their horses
My heart,I felt it, the intense beating on my chest like it was going to pull out , my eyes were beginning to twitch,the tears threatening to come out.
I couldn't cry, my tears weren't going to save me , I knew it , my father was going to kill me.
The moment I noticed they had gone far, I came out of my hiding , but what suddenly caught my attention was the moon underneath the rain.
It shined so brightly and that was when it struck me. It was the night of the full moon.
The wolves, they could change tonight and him, he would be my escape plan.
The loud howl from under the castle reminded me of the predicament and that was it, before thinking twice I dashed into the crept of the castle using the back door.
I moved as quickly as I could,going towards the light , I could hear it , his breath was getting stronger as I got closer.
I hid behind the walls as another set of guards walked past me .
The moment they passed. I tiptoed to the fire and put some grass in it and threw it into the midst of the two guards at his door.
Their coughs could be heard and they were staggering away.
Once they were cleared out of sight , I ran to the cage and behind those mighty cage , I saw him.
The man, the myth and the story, the monster that I have been warned about my whole life , this wasn't some joke he was real.
His broadness was what caught my attention. His body was admired with dark tattoos and they all seemed to tell a story.
He turned as if sensing the presence of someone and right there his dark hair fell to his shoulders showing his sharp features.when his eyes met mine there was no life in them, it was cold plain and rigged and the stare he gave me oh! , it was more like he was searching deep into my soul.
Being in this cage had taken a huge toll on him, I could tell that but that seems to affect him much , he still looked as powerful as told, maybe that was the reason my father put him here all alone.
The Rogue Alpha walked away from the window and then approached me,he had a hint of amusement on his face.
When he got to where I was he stopped and then placed both his hands on the cage.
"You shouldn't be here princess" the Worlds came out of his mouth and it sounded more like a warning.
My hands trembled slightly when the words came out, even though he was behind the cage , I could feel the darkness that followed with his voice.
He was a monster, a predator and a cold calculated killer and it was the night of the full moon. If I helped him he could help me.
I'm going to let you out and when I do, I want you to help me. Is that an agreement? I asked him and even though my voice was trying to break I was tensed.
He looked at me as if studying and trying to understand what I had said.
Fragile and beautiful creatures like you aren't supposed to be here princess, what makes you so sure that I would save you instead of snapping your neck ?
As you can see it's almost the full moon the moment the rain stops and trust me, that's the last thing you want to witness, princess.
I swallowed nothing as I stared at the man with the beautiful green eyes and dark hairs
A loud howl escaped from his mouth and the next moment, his fangs came out ,suddenly he was on fours.
It all happened so fast and all I could see was him, a big black wolf in his glory.
That moment I felt the rush of adrenaline inside of me and that sick feeling to throw up but once I heard the heavy footsteps coming from behind us ,I snapped , I grabbed the keys the guards had left behind and I unlocked the gate.
I unleashed the beast.
"She released him." I heard one of the guards scream and all that I could see was his head snapped away from his body and the blood gushing out.
The wolf was out , once he killed him he turned to me as if nudging me to come. Ignoring the fear burning right in my chest I ran towards Him, the wolf bent and just like that I was sitting on top of a wolf and grabbing his furs.
His moves were calculated and faster than any animal I had ever seen in my life. In a flash of light we were standing right in front of the castle , he sprinted towards the woods jumping past the castle gate and as I turned , I saw my father release the arrow.
I felt that sharp feeling inside of me and I passed out.
