Chapter 2: Chapter 1
18 years later...
(***This story is my life, that life which gave nothing but deception. I had no idea at what point in my life and from whom I might get cheated. But the worse was when my people, those who were the beloved to me, left me heartbroken. I hate my life. It sucks!!***)
"That voice... why does it sound so familiar... There is so much pain in that voice... it's breaking my heart... Who are you? And for whom are you waiting? Why do I feel like I know you? And your eyes, what do your eyes want to tell me..."
" Eva! My child. Get up, sleepyhead." An old lady tried to wake up Eva, who was mumbling in her sleep. "And what are you dreaming about this time."
Meet my grandmother, Bonnie, an old lady with white long wavy hair, thousands of wrinkles in her face and hands, and with a warm, lovely smile. She might be old now, but still has the strength to fight a grown man. Granny always tells me her adulthood stories of how she was the prettiest in her tribe, and there were hundreds of proposals for her. But she chose my grandfather and came to this tribe. And after that, her whole life is being dedicated to my family. Everyone loves her as much as I do, even people respect her a lot, and why not? She is Alpha's mother.
"Granny! Why do you always wake me up so early? It's not even morning yet. It was such a lovely dream, and this time I was going to see that guy's face, but hell no, here I'm looking at you." Eva whined in front of her granny while yawning in the bed. "Just let me sleep for five more minutes."
"Language, my child! Being a lady, in our culture, you should be ready before your family wakes up. Now get up and take that lazy bum of yours to the bathroom." Granny believes girls should always be polite and should be presentable every time. They represent the beauty of the house. Even should always be ready for any kind of task.
"Granny, just five more minutes, and I promise as soon as I see that person's face, I'll do whatever you ask me to do." Lifting the blanket onto my face, blocking the light, I tried to go back to sleep once more.
"I don't understand your weird and strange dreams." She paused for a while, folding my clothes, which were lying on the floor, and questioned me suspiciously. " Eva, tell me the truth. Why did you come home so late last night? Where were you? Did you go back there despite my refusal?"
Immediately lifting the blanket from my face, I sat up. "No granny, I have never gone back there, ever since you have banned me. I was with Rachel, you know girl's night over, and it didn't occur to me when it was early morning, and I sneak in back home." Granny was still looking at me suspiciously. "Promise granny, you can ask Rachel if you don't believe me." Rachel is my childhood best friend and the only one who believes in me. She lost her family in the war, and from then on, she spends most of the time with my family.
"Oh!" Giving a long sigh, she said, "I believe you, child." Thank god, she couldn't catch me lying to her. Yes, it was a lie. But if she came to know that, every night I sneak into the woods, I will be grounded for an entire month. Every night, I go into the woods, the exact same place which I dream of every alternative day, just hoping that my dream might come true and the guy in my dreams will be standing there just waiting for me.
I know it's cheesy, but what can I do. I always love those classic romantic movies and still believe in fairy tales.
You know, every time I visit that same place in the woods, it kind of feels familiar to me, like some kind of special connection or bond is attached to me to that place. But despite going there so often, I never met my dream guy.
"Okay, then, your mess is now cleaned." Pointing me to the stack of folded clothes, Granny continued. " Now, just get up from that bed and get ready fast. You already know some people from High Council are coming today with your marriage proposal. Just look your best, and if everything goes right, you will be married to the Alpha. Oh... Just a few years ago, you were playing in my lap, and now... marriage proposals are coming for you." She went outside the room to hide her tears. Every time a marriage proposal comes for me, she became a bit emotional.
Anyway, as I was saying...
Oops!! Hold on. Let me introduce myself.
"Hello! You must be going crazy thinking about the above conversation. But let me start from the beginning. I'm Eva, 5-foot 7-inch height, just like my granny I do have curly, long hairs but it's black, white skin which granny thinks came from my mother and lastly my eyes, it's grey just like my father. And yes, I'm a she-wolf. We live next to the dense forest, but it's strictly prohibited for us to go inside those woods. Reason no idea, but every night I sneak into there, and till now, nothing dangerous happened.
My dad Augustin is the Alpha of my pack, The Crescent Moon. He loves me so much that, to date, he has never spoken to me nicely. And for his benefit, he is trying to forcibly marry me to some High Alpha, whom I have never met before. By the way, High Alphas are those people who represent their countries when their King/Queen werewolf is unable to. And among those High Alphas, my soon to be mate is one of them. As much I heard, he is trying to collaborate with every smaller pack so, one day with all the votes, he can be the King. And for that reason, he is making a loyalty agreement with my clan. You must be thinking maybe not my dad, but everyone's mom loves them. Yes. Maybe, but she left me with dad and eloped with her lover.
I do have four brothers, but they never spend time with me. Being warriors, they always spend their time with dad. Warriors are those who have sworn loyalty to the packs Alpha and are mainly there to protect the pack from dangers during wars.
And lastly, I'm a cursed child. Yes, you read it correctly.
Being a she-wolf, I have never shapeshifted to date. Believe me, I have tried countless times, but all in vain. It's been 15 years, every time I tried connecting my wolf, I got nothing. I never ever got any response from her, as if she is in a deep sleep. Now I have accepted my defeat to awaken her.
We wolves believe the one who can't shapeshift has no place in the pack it's like because of that single wolf, the whole pack will be cursed by mother nature. They believe that mother nature has cursed for their wrong deeds, either in this life or previous. No one respects them or even spare a minute to talk. Packs usually disowned them, even if they are of the same kind, just only crippled. In my pack, I'm the only one, the cripple she-wolf. Just because I'm Alpha's daughter, nobody dares to say ill about me, but I know once I leave the place, they must be cursing me.
"Eva, are you ready?" Oh, no. It's granny. I have to go, but you guys stick here, read the whole book to unravel new interesting twists coming in my story.
"Alpha, everything is done, as per your saying. I have already made Wess understood about our plans, and if you're fine, then he can proceed to meet Augustin." A muscular man with brown skin tone said to his Alpha standing in front of him faced the opposite.
"Phillip, it's your responsibility to make sure everything goes well with Augustin. An ally with him will be super beneficial for our tribe." Connor, the Alpha of Midnight pack, who also was one of the high Alpha, ordered his beta, Phillip.
He was Connor's right hand or even as a personal bodyguard. Phillip already knew his Alpha's dream, that is to out throw the existing king and be the most powerful werewolf. And for that, he needed allies to support him during the elections. And Augustin was just a stepping stone. Connor wanted to marry Eva for his benefit. Augustin was getting old with lots of experience and, he has allied with many smaller packs, which soon will be beneficial for Connor.
Connor had no intention to visit Augustin or see his daughter, so he ordered Wess to do the needful and to make sure everything goes as per the plan.
Before few days, there was some news from the palace that the king werewolf is sick for a long duration, and soon elections are going to happen to choose a new rightful King. And to become the new King, Connor will go to any extent.
