FADED. A Werewolf story. (Book One)

V

This room has been like a prison to me for the last three weeks. It has been my routine to wake up, freshen up and then go sit near this huge window for hours thinking of ways I can escape this hell hole.

Beyond this villa are woods. I know they lead somewhere, somewhere I can find my freedom. I am not a prisoner in here but I feel like one. I decided to never leave this room ever since that meeting.

For the past few weeks, Olivia has been persuading me to forgive her, to go out of the room, to talk her but I can't. I haven't come to grips with how my life reached here. Inspite of her explanations for doing anything, I don't trust her anymore.

"I had to protect you Lyka. You are very special to us." she explained.
"I don't give a damn about anything." I snarled.
"Lyka, you are the next alpha. You mean a lot to these people, to me."

"You mean to tell me that I am a monster? Is that what you are trying to say?" I asked irritably.
"We are not monsters dear. We are different from other people."
"Different?" I scoffed.
"Are you even listening to yourself?" I added.

"Dear you have to understand. Everything might be confusing but I can promise to explain more if you come out of this room."

I have heard enough of me being a werewolf, a monster. She even persuaded me to go to the burial of my alleged mom which I declined angrily. I wasn't going to burry a stranger because every one is telling me she's my real mom. To me she's a total stranger. No mom on their right sense would just give away their child.

My real mom is dead. I am a monster. My mom told me she's a monster too. Everything is too much for me to process.

I want to go faraway from here through those woods. I haven't seen Gabriel since the day of the meeting not that I want to. He is also a monster.  I am totally lost with what to believe.

Every single night I watch guards patrol the villa and by now am used to their routine. In a matter of hours, I will be free from this place and it's craziness. The more I stay here, the more I am going to get crazy myself.

I don't have a phone or a laptop. I want to call Sam, perhaps tell her everything. Maybe she would understand or not. I am not sure where my life goes from here but I can't stay here another day.

This room has been my Safe Haven for days but it is time for me to abandon it. As usual at eight, the maid I have learned her name is Lillian brings my food which I rarely touch or eat a little. I make sure she finds me in my bed each time so she never gets suspicious.
