Everything was gone.
I sobbed, my clothes ripped and I was bleeding, but it didn't matter. I had to get to her, to them.
Had to find-
Struggling to stand, I grasped my side, biting back the scream that wanted to escape. I looked down at my hands and red coated them, blurring together until I couldn't see anything anymore. I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing my panicked breathing to slow, until I felt in control of myself again. It had been so long, I thought as I turned my peeling and dry face to the sun, my fingers shaking as I struggled to make sense of them.
For so long, I'd been a wolf, cursed.
All that I was, or could've been had been reduced to nothing but an animal driven by instinct, bloodlust, thousands of lives met their ends at the edges of my razor sharp claws. I had no idea where I was, how much time had passed. My fingers touched something hard in the sand, and a jolt of information went through me as Queen Azalea's sword, gleamed as I pulled it free. My heart started to pound as sun glinted off of the blade, reflecting back at me. I nearly dropped the metal when I saw myself. I took a second look and saw white hair, caked with dirt, and yellow eyes, blue veins sparking in their depths. All at once, I remembered who I was. I remembered why I was here, how much time had passed.
I am Azalea Marie Albescu, The Queen Alpha.
A false queen sits on my throne, controls what's mine. I would have to make my way back to my pack, my family, and my home, if still there. I would rise again, as I had before, and reclaim what belongs to me.
DISCLAIMER: AS WITH MANY OF MY STORIES, I DO IMPLICATE SITUATIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT/ABUSE.
Not in any way do I intend to glamorize this behavior, I write about these delicate and painful situations because I myself relate to them and will always fight for survivors, including myself. Thank you for your understanding and if you are in any way uncomfortable reading these stories, I encourage you to look elsewhere.
She collapses down in front of me and runs her hands along my shoulders and down my arms. I close my eyes as she lifts my shirt over my head.
"I can hear your heart racing," she whispers.
I roll my head back as her lips press into my throat. I'm becoming so hot that it feels like I'm in transition. I run my hands beneath her shirt and up her back, pushing her closer into my throat.
"Any requests?" she says.
"Be gentle with me."
"Really?"
I smile before I grip the ends of her shirt and I tear it in half, all the way up her spine and all the way down the middle of her torso. It makes her gasp. "No," I say.
------------
Since meeting her mysterious saviour deep in the woods, ten things started to become clear.
1) Irresistible British men didn't just exist across the world.
2) Survival was a lot more complicated than just looking for water.
3) They were bonded together in a way that didn't make sense.
4) Her life, which was filled with so much human suffering, finally had some faint glimmer of hope.
5) She should have known that humans don't sleep walk every damn night.
6) The man ate animals raw and kept a mysterious, giant wolf as a pet.
7) Hunters will never stop looking for her.
8) She doesn't care.
9) Their desires burn for each other and it's out of their control.
