Run! Run! Run!
I tell myself over and over. This is my one chance to escape, there's no turning back now, if they catch me now, I won't be the King's new mistress, I'll be slaughtered!
Run! Run! Run!
I hear a howl in the distance.
No!
They're coming! The gammas, they're coming!
I've been running so fast I loose my footing and go tumbling down, I can here the howls, they'll catch me!
No! No! Get up! Get up!
I hide behind a tree, scared to breathed or they'll hear me. They fog is so thick maybe they won't see me.
Soon several wolves come near the clearing I tumbled at, one of them has red markings and by the way he stands I know who he is.
"Where is she!" He growls, all the wolves bow in submission.
"I'm sorry my king, we do not know, we've searched everywhere."
"If you searched everywhere you'd have found her! Keep searching all of you!"
The gammas flee in search of me again, only the head beta stays with the alpha King.
"I don't need protection you swine! Go find the girl!"
"But my King..."
The alpha slashes the betas face, blood oozes from his eye.
"Did I mumble beta? Or do actually dare to disobey me!"
"N-n-no my k-k-King I would never-"
"Then tell your gammas to find the girl!"
The beta runs off in a random direction.
This is not good! I need to keep running but if I do the very wolf who I'm escaping from will capture me again. He already killed my mother, when he hears my voice and its not nearly as good as hers! I don't even want to think of what'll happen!
I can feel the tears roll down against my cheeks again.
Oh mother! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!
If only I could be as strong as her. If only I could be as perfect as her! Yet she still gave her life for me to try and live mine.

I have lived in one room since the day I was born. My mother was only referred to as Songbird, that wasn't her given name by when the Alpha King calls you that or 'bitch,' you learn to accept Songbird. I've taken that as my last name, my mother gave me the beautiful name of Melody, according to her ever since I was born in that small room I've lived my entire life in, I could always carry the melody when we sang duets.
I love singing, but I loved watching my mother sing more. Her voice was everything. She could make everything be at peace, nothing bad happened when she sang. I always wished for her voice.
She trained me in that room we both lived in; it consisted of a bed, a piano, and a toilet.
We didn't have any clothes except when we would preform for the alpha King and his guests, that's when we'd get a new piece of clothing, we wouldn't get anything else until the next party the alpha King held which was usually after a few months. By then whatever clothes we had would be covered in holes and tattered.
I guess though I shouldn't complain much, compared to a lot of the girls here I had an easy life. I was stuck in a room until I had to sing some songs, others though had to give away their bodies,becoming one of the mistresses that please the alpha on many nights, or be forever trapped in the alpha king's manor working to keep it clean or prepare meals for him.
I can't blame him though for not making me a mistress, I don't look anything like the girls he chooses. The women he picks, I swear the word "curves" was made just to describe their bodies, and they actually have boobs. Only when I'm wearing something too small do you see my little nubs.
The day that I flee was the day he finally got desperate, that day was the day I was going to become his mistress.

Flashback
The started off like a normal day, me and my mother awoke at the same time; we always did. There was no sense of time in the room we shared, we started the day whenever we both were up. This day we awoke and started with vocal lessons, my mother would critique me on better ways to project my voice. During our lesson one of the girls walked in carrying our daily meal along with two new dresses that only meant one thing: performance tonight.
We ate our meals quickly, when we get our dresses that means we only have a short while to prepare usually we could run all the songs once and then we get dress and a girl comes to escort us to the performance hall.
Just like always those event happened, when we arrived at the hall, the alpha King was there along with alphas of his kingdom. The males were all drinking and feasting. Multiple girls were attached to one male, trying to get his attention in hopes to please him and not receive a beating.
My mother and I bowed waiting for the alpha King to notice us and allow us to play, sometime we'd wait for hours for him to notice us.
He was waiting for us to perform that day, a cup of wine in his hand along with a girl deductively licking the side of his face.
"Sing tears of beatings."
We rose and went to our spots, my mother to the microphone and I to the piano.
I played the song on the piano and the lyrics rolled out of my mothers mouth, half way through though, a glass of wine and flying at my mother hitting her and sending her to the floor.
I wanted to rush to her but I knew if I did I be punished. I stopped playing the music and looked at my poor mother.
"Why the old bitch singing? Have the other one do it." One of the alphas said.
"Leave Songbird."
My mother looked at me then at the alpha King, she didn't want to leave without me, isn't want to be here without her either.
She did have no choice though but to leave the room.
Mother!
When she left the room I stood before the alphas. I could only shake before my alpha and alpha King.
The alpha King gave me an evil smile, I could feel my body turning white.

Present
I watch as the alpha King slowly stocks around. He probably can't see me from the fog, it so thick even our wolf eyes can't cut through it.
Please don't find me!
I watch as he moves then suddenly he stops. He turns his head slowly. He makes his head cox in a wolffish way, his eyes stare at me.
Does he see me?
"There you are." He growls he lunged at me from my hiding place. I barely miss his bite, I quickly run again. I don't even have time to shift to my wolf form. I rarely change into a wolf mostly because it was too big to fit into the room we lived.
"Get back here!"
I hear the alpha King howl in rage. The fact that he is still behind me amazes me, the alpha King is know for his strength and speed.
Why is he being so slow?
As I run something changes in the air, the fog isn't as thick so I can actually see where I'm going.
This air is different like I'm in a different territory.
I look back to see if the alpha King is still following me, when I turn though he's disappeared!
What!
Suddenly I hear a roar, a roar like I've never heard before. That's no wolf, that's some kind of beast. But what?
I hear the roar again, only this time loader. I see something in the sky, it has wings! I lands near me, I fall to the floor from looking at its true size. It's huge! This beast is covered in scales and is the size of mansions, it has wings and breathes fire!
What is this thing!
The beast looks at me, it's blue eye is as big as me!
It growls at me, I try to move but my body can't because of fear.
It stares at me and growls, I can't tell if it threatening me or getting ready to kill me! Just when I think it's all over the beast growls one thing to me,"mate."
