The Tribrid's Mates

White Crescrent Pack

Elena.

I didn't know what happened after the conversation with one of my abductors, but I knew the pain and weakness I was feeling had driven me into another long sleep.

I suddenly opened my eyes this time and I looked around me in surprise. I wasn't in that miserable 'dungeon' anymore. Instead, I was lying on a very comfortable bed in a large chamber.

Curious, I got up on my feet and that was when I also discovered that the pain in my body had disappeared completely like it had never been there. I glanced down at my feet too and saw that the bruises and cuts that had been there had disappeared without with a trace or scar.

I walked towards the door with a faith I immediately considered stupid, but still I turned the door knob and to my surprise, the door opened with ease.

I curiously left the room and walked down the long empty corridor before finally getting to a dining table where I saw a family of 3 eating together.
They all sensed my presence and at the same time, they faced me.

"Food." The one who seemed to be the father and husband pointed at the several dishes on the table. Seeing so many food suddenly made me remember I hadn't eaten anything in two days and my stomach grumbled. Loudly.

Damn! I cursed within myself

Hesitantly, I walked towards the table and decided to postpone the questions on my mind till later. If the food was poisoned or drugged, I would know.

I pulled myself a chair to seat on and I looked up to see a lady staring at me. Red hair; She had red hair. She was the wolf who had pounced on me. I looked at her eerily and returned the smile she gave me with a forced grin.

"I'm Griffin?" The same man from before said and glanced at me, "I'm the Alpha of the White Crescent Pack." He introduced himself and it was only proper for me to do the same. I think.

"I'm Elena Mendez?" I said and scooped a spoonful of Macaroni and Cheese. It tasted so good. Silly me.

"These are my children, Madelyn and Jonah." Griffin introduced his children one after the other and I just hummed a silent response with a fake smile.

"My eldest son, Lucas is currently away for studies. He'll be back very soon though." Griffin added and then continued, "so, aren't you curious about why you're here?" He asked and I remained silent for a while before giving a reply.

"The man who visited me in the dungeon said it was because of who I was." I shifted my attention away from the food.

"Sorry about that. They took the instructions wrongly." Griffin faced his children and I glanced at them. Madelyn had an uneasy smile when I looked at her while Jonah just stared like he didn't care.

"You are actually here because of the great powers you possess," Griffin said and I just stared at him blankly.
Now I'm sure, they've got the wrong person. Powers?! Definitely not me. As if that wasn't enough, he continued and said, "After all, you're the Salvatore."

I immediately choked on my saliva and I coughed violently before bursting into laughter. I continued laughing for about thirty seconds and they all just looked at me as though I was crazy or something.

"You're so funny. All of you," I continued laughing, "I have no powers. I'm mundane. I'm human!" I yelled and hit my palm on the table.

"I understand that you don't want your powers to get into the wrong hands, but you can trust us." Griffin looked rather calm as he said this.

"Look you have the wrong person. I said I don't have powers!" I flared up suddenly and stood up from my seat.

"You're lying!" Griffin hollered back at me and hit his palm on the table.

"I'm not!" I retorted.

"I said you are!!!" Griffin suddenly picked up a knife on the table and thew it at me. It all happened so fast that before I could blink, the knife was right before my face.

Only a few inches away from my head, I saw Griffin move and the next thing I saw was a blur before the knife suddenly disappeared. By the time, my eyes adjusted to the sudden speed, I saw Griffin standing before me with the knife in his hand. I looked at him with an expression that said 'I told you so'

"She's saying the truth. She isn't the Salvatore. She's just Mundane." Jonah said with a stress on the last word and I gave him a stern glare. He was rude.

"Or maybe she knew I'll save her if she didn't defend herself." Griffin said and walked away without completing his breakfast.

I was still hungry, but I also hesitantly abandoned the food. I didn't want to look desperate and hungry.

I wanted to go back to my room, but I changed that thought and decided to go outside the mansion. I wanted to do this only so I could test how close or how far my boundaries with them were. At what point they would begin to restrict me.

I opened the door and stepped out of the house without being stopped. The whole horizon was filled with grasses and the sun radiated off a nearby pool. There were various houses scattered across as far as my eyes could go and people moved here and there.

I continued walking and expected to receive stares, but nobody seemed to care or notice me. A quick glance and that was all. I was only a few metres away from the mansion and I just kept staring everything that I didn't notice the car that was driving in my direction.

By the time I noticed the car, it would have been too late for me if the car hadn't suddenly stopped only a few inches from me. The door to the driver's seat immediately opened and a man stepped out of the car. He wasn't just a man! I felt my head ache and my knees go weak as I heard a silent whisper in my head. How can this be?
