Royal Alpha Alexander (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 1

~~Skylar's POV~~

"There she is!!" One of the men shouted. Damn it! It seemed like they found my hiding place. I tried to run pass them but it was in vain as I was surrounded by a bunch of royal guards. Knowing that there was no escape I did the only reasonable thing.

I surrendered.

***

It was not the first time that I had attempted to escape from this hell hole of a prison. Every time I tried I would always end up back in here.

"I miss you mom," I said to myself as I sat down on the cold hard floor trying hard not to cry. My mother was the only person on earth that actually cared for me after my brother's death. But then she left too... Leaving me all alone in this horrible world ruled by heartless monsters.

This world we once knew was no longer the beautiful paradise in which people once used to have a happy married life and lots of children to tell bedtime stories to.

Everything changed. Ever since werewolves showed up, they left us with nothing else but sorrow. We, human would always have to hide until finally one day we would either be killed or imprisoned by one of those creatures.

I didn't know why, but they hate us. And if we tried to defy them, we would either end up decapitated or skinned alive.

At least that's what I had heard from the people of my old village, called La Rose for which I was not quite sure if it was still out there. The last memory that I had with La Rose was for sure not a good one.

That day was the worst day of my life because it was the same day I lost my everything. My mother.

~~FLASHBACK~~

"Mom! Mom! What's happening mom," I cry feeling so helpless.

"It's alright baby, don't cry. We're going to be fine. Trust me baby. Trust me.." she coos as she tries to hide me somewhere safe. Then suddenly she stops, paralysed on the spot, when she hears someone knocking at our door.

Soon the knocking becomes more and more vulgar which confirms that it is a someTHING rather than someone. I managed to stay calm and prevent my tears from rolling down my cheeks. I am more than scared and I don't want to see the monster behind the door that is threatening to fall apart soon. My mother quickly hides my 9 years old self in the cupboard. After closing the door of the cupboard, I decide to look in the key hole to see what is happening. I see my mother looking around searching for any kinds of weapon for self-defense.

Just when she grabs the knife, the door bursts open and in a blink of an eye a large beast-like creature came looming into the house. I quickly avert my eyes from the key hole and hold it shut tight. I don't want to see what will happen. I don't want to see my mother getting killed while I can't do anything.

All I could hear is her cries of pleas. Muffling my cries I stay as silent as I can.

After a few agonising minutes everything goes still. My heart is still pumping adrenaline. Cautiously I peep in the key hole and saw nothing. I step out of the suffocating cupboard.The only thing I see is my mother's lying corpse on the ground, marks of claws on her once soft skin and bloods splattered everywhere...

~~END OF FLASHBACK~~

"Wake up! Wake up!" I was woken up by a loud and ferocious growl. Letting my eyes adjust to the dim light I tried to sit up with the help of the wall. "Here's you're food. Eat up. Might be your last one." I stared at him with a blank expression. He pointed to an old man who is begging to one of the royal guards. He seemed so desperate and weak. "He is being taken to the Royal Court. And just like him, you might be next. Don't you feel scared about what is awaiting you there?" I chose to ignore him and eventually as predicted he went away.
