The deep and resounding howl of the enforcers rang out through the forest, soon enough more howls joined them, sounding like their own sort of symphony, my wolf was drawn away from the edges of the woods and back to my pack, I sat beside my mother and father the Alpha and Luna of the Midnight Pack, and lifted my head to join the packs song.
My mothers golden wolf looked down to mine with a glint in her eye, soon the howls died down and my the pack began to move away, “Ready for a run kids” this was the first time my brothers and I had shifted, our new wolves where itching to run. Braydon my brother ran ahead of us, his wolf already bigger than most at the age of 10, his dark black fur shadowing him and making him blend in with the night. Next went my brother Jake, his dark brown fur made him blend in with the trees as he took off infront of me.
I felt a nudge from behind me and saw my fathers black wolf that stood at triple my size, “What’s wrong Ashley” his voice echoed in my mind. Shaking my head I started off in a slow jog, getting used to my new body “Ash, the Godess blessed you with a beautiful wolf run with her” that was all the encouragement I needed.
I put my nose in the air and started off running, catching up to my brothers in a matter of minutes, they started at me wide eyed as I passed them quickly and ran next to my mother, a wolfish grin spread across her face as she saw me. I slowed my pace as we came to a clearing it was stunning, the surrounding trees had carvings and the leaves seemed to glow under the moon.
I walked towards a crystal lake and looked at the reflection, it held a beautiful white wolf, I looked at myself in amazement, I didn’t think it was me until I shifted back to see my human face in the water. “My beautiful triplets, I’m so proud” my mother cried out to us, I turned around rolling my eyes at her.
My father threw me a towel and I quickly covered myself, “Guess what honey” my father deep voice echoed in the silent night. “What?” my mother asked, she turned to face him, they had always been the perfect couple, Grandma had told us all how they met and fell in love and how Dad saved her from her horrible father. I wasn’t exactly sure if it was true or not, some people told me it was just a story so that we would appreciate our parents.
“Ten years ago today, we were holding our three gorgeous babies in our arms” I smiled over at my brothers who were grinning as well. “And now we have three 10 year old wolves who are strong and smart and are going to…” my father trailed off as both he and my mother stiffened.
A breeze blew my hair around my face and a unfamiliar scent crossed my nose, I turned and a low growl grew in my chest. “Kids get behind me. NOW” My father’s order rang sharp in our minds, I slowly started backing away and toward my mother and father, my back never turned from the edge of the lake.
I backed right into my father leg and he pushed me behind his legs protectively, I saw a pair of glistening yellow eyes and soon a grey wolf stalked out of the woods on the other side of the lake, the wolf looked insane, I could tell he was a rouge by his foul stench.
“SHIFT!” My father barked out, a cruel laugh filled the clearing as the sound of bones breaking filled my ears, “Arabella good to see you again” my father stiffened infront of me and my mother took a step backwards.
“What are you doing here, you bastard” my mother spat out, “to see my grandchildren of course” I shuddered finally realising who this was, I felt my mother and father trying to link the pack but we were too far away to get in contact.
“Children please come forward let me see you” a growl filled my father’s body and I felt his body start shaking, “If you don’t I would hate to see what a fire would do to your beautiful pack house” instantly I smelt fire and looked over to another wolf holding a burning torch. Soon enough the clearing was surrounded by more feral looking wolves growls coming from all angles and the smell of rotting flesh filled my nose.
I whimpered as Braydon took a step forward, his head held high showing he wasn’t intimidated, “Come on both of you” I looked around me and noticed Jake was nowhere to be seen, “He’s gone to get the pack, Ash” my brother assured me in my mind. I slowly moved out from behind my father and took two steps forward standing beside my brother.
As soon as the man saw me he stilled, looking over me slowly and taking in my features, “You look like your grandmother dear one” my mother’s deep growl sounded from behind me. I took a small step back scared of the look in my supposed grandfather’s eye.
“Tobias, Arabella, I forgot to introduce you, this is my new pack, The Blood Lust Pack and we need a future Luna and that child there…” he motioned to me “will be her”
Instantly my father jumped and shifted in mid-air, my mother doing the same, both standing in front of us to protect us, my brother shifted as well, all three of them growled as the pack began to circle us, then they began to run, wolves jumped and lunged at each other.
My mother, father and brother defended me as best they could but eventually grew weak from all the attacks, just when my family was regaining strength and we could hear the pack in the distance running for us. I felt claws come in contact with my back I cried out in pain, but the scream never left my lips as a hand was clamped over my mouth, as I was pulled back and dragged through the forest.
The sound of growls and howls filled the forest as I was continuly dragged through the woods, my hair and the towel I was wearing catching on the trees, the blood kept running down my back, and I felt my consciousness waning. As a last resort to save myself, I kicked my kidnapper as hard as I could directly in the gut, a groan and they dropped me, as soon as my feet hit the floor I was off.
Running as far as I could as fast as I could, for some reason I couldn’t shift and I knew that my follower would soon catch up, I could hear them gaining on my and I let out a deafening scream, hopping that my mother or father or any member of the pack would hear me.
My cry was cut short as I felt a cloth pushed over my mouth and I felt the world slowly go black.
********8 YEARS LATER*******
Slowly my eyes opened as they adjusted to the dim light, my back was still stinging from the whipping last night, it had been eight years since I had seen my real family, I now was a prisoner under my grandfather’s torture.
His whole ‘pack’ if that’s what you could call it, was a horrible place to live, they constantly beat me, although they called me their future Luna. I hated this life, I was filled with resentment and misery, but I had to remain strong or else they would have won.
I trained myself constantly avoiding their attacks and becoming stronger and stronger, but each day I was punished for rebelling against my grandfather’s rule. As I looked around my small cell I stood up looking at myself in the mirror. My blonde hair was ratty and knotted, my face was covered in bruises and sweat and my once bright green eyes where now dull.
The supposed clothes I wore where simply rags that where cut from knives and whips, “Ashley come here we need to prepare you for the ceremony” My grandfathers deep voice rang out from the cell doors. I walked back and lay back down on my bed.
“Get up you worthless brat” He yelled shaking the door until it broke under his grip, he threw it aside smashing my mirror and small chest of drawers. I crawled backwards and into the corner of the wall, he grabbed my arm and pulled me up, I winced at the strength of his grasp.
He backhanded me in the face and tears sprung to my eyes but I wouldn’t let them fall, not for him, not for his cruelty. I hadn’t cried in 8 years except at night when I remembered my family and pack, “Time to go” he dragged me out of the cell and upstairs to get ready for the ceremony.
