The Human Wolf

Prologue

I skidded to a halt, as I took a wrong turn down a hallway. I should have taken the left stairwell instead of the right. The dress that once was loose around my waist and legs, now clung to my body, as I heaved and panted really hard. It was hot and I was sweating more than a lady should. I swore under my breath, trying to remember what I had gotten myself into. My hair was everywhere, wild and untamed as I remember running through a crowd and past the royal gardens. My feet were sore from running in heels. I had massive regrets of putting those on this morning, instead of a pair of converse.

I also had some regret about having some champagne, those little pastries and over indulging in the chocolate cover strawberries. God, chocolate was surely my weakness. The champagne I had was to keep myself calm for the evening, to relax me. I was nervous for this evening when I shouldn't have been. Instead, my head was slightly dizzy and my stomach was ready to explode.

I had long lost one of my earrings, since wiping a hand over my hair and feeling my earing missing. I must have dropped it somewhere whist pumping my pale legs through my journey. I started to panic, remembering what I had been taught and what I had trained in for years. Everything I learnt, would not prepare me for this moment in my life. My parents told me this moment would come- might come- they told me everything I should be feeling.

But all I felt was panic.

My senses heighten the moment I could see the shadows of a figure walking. No. Wait. Two figures were walking beside each other.

"Lady Nyla..."

My heartbeat picked up, my eyes grew bigger and my palms became sweater than they already are. I closed my eyes for the briefest of moments, only to have the sight of two identical men at the other end of the hallway when I opened them up again. Alright, maybe not quite identical, but they surely did from a distance. As the pair came closer and closer, I stood my ground eyeing the pair.

Both brunette hair, one with piercing blue eyes and the other with forest green eyes. They were both so dreamy.

"Alpha Leon," I nod my head towards the blue-eyed man, "Alpha Barrett. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

I tried to hide any and all emotion behind that, but it seemed to make both men smirk at each other and then back towards me.

"Your Ladyship," Barrett spoke. It was husky and extremely sexy, almost too sexy as my knees wanted to give out. "I believe you have something that belongs to us."

"And what that might be Alpha Barrett?"

"Well your ladyship," Next Alpha Leon took a step closer to me, I felt the wall suddenly on my backside, "you belong to us."

"Pardon?" I gulp.

The pair looked at each other and smirked. The spoke, more like growled at the same time, one single word. One single verb that would truly terrify me from inside out.

"Mate."
