Kiara looked up at the darkness above her, then at the bars of her cell. She longed to step foot outside, to bask in the sunlight that’d burst through the little cracks in her walls and the dim silver light that’d dance it’s way from the moon every night. She longed to see the green grass, the trees, the birds and the bees, she longed to see her very face in the mirror. She had been locked away at 10 years old, on that very day her wolf should’ve came out... Unfortunately though, her bones had never cracked, furr hadn’t taken over her skin and the beast she had tried so hard to call forth never came. That was all she did wrong, not having a wolf was apparently her sin or rather what she was guilty of. The alpha had spat so many words of hate to her, he had almost killed her when his hand wrapped around her neck. She remembered it as though it was just yesterday...the look that had been in his eyes, the deadly words that had came out of his mouth... ‘A child without a wolf is basica

Though she couldn’t see and examine much because the heat and the pain that tormented her, she could say that the outside was unfamiliar to her, the land and the trees, the houses and even the very breeze... Everything felt and looked different...So different than how she remembered it ten years ago. The grassed had been higher than this, they use to curl pass her ankles when she ran through them to and from her parent’s house...There weren’t so many buildings either and they weren’t so big and advanced...the houses were smaller since only families lived within them. Mother liked them that way, she always said ‘it’s good because I can supervise you better...’She had always been playful and cheeky, her eyes use to hold so much love and humour...and yet the last time Kiara looked into them all she could see was horror...an emotion her mother had never showcased...For her father, it was the same...he was stricter, rougher than her mother, he made sure she stayed out of the forest and

The room he gave Kiara had nothing in it, not even a bed...it was just like the dungeon she had resided in before...an empty cage for an empty soul...But what had she expected?A bed?Clothes?She had been stupid to have chosen to stay with him instead of in her old room, but it was the outside that she had wanted to see, she had just wanted her feet to touch the grass, her eyes to grace the land...she had just wanted to feel free...But the little exposure she got was not enough to compensate just what she was going through now. She had the mark of the man who killed her parents on her neck... A mark that was suppose to be sacred was then said to mean nothing to him...He classified the bonding between them different from others, but it was different...for it was forced. When had she told him that she wanted it on her neck? He gave it to her without a warning...And now all the pain she was enduring was because of the mark...because of him, and he didn’t even care... He was so cruel

Even through the pain, Kiara had ended up falling asleep and now that her eyes were fully open, she could see that the sunlight had made it pass the curtains and was shining on the floors of the room.Sitting up, she rubbed her eyes, her naked body on full display but only the eyes of the walls could see. The nakedness did not bother her, she was used to it, down in the dungeon, she had slept naked a lot of times. She only got clothes when the person who brought her food, brought her clothes along with it and she had to re-wear them until they became torn and dirty.But she was grateful, to those who brought her food and to those who brought her clothes...even if they were already old.With a groan, she rose to her feet, just now realizing that the pain and the endless heat from last night was gone. Her skin wasn’t burning anymore and neither was her insides, her body didn’t feel weird and sensitive, and down there wasn’t aching anymore.She was glad...but now that it was a new day an

Zique arrived at the pack house as naked as the very day he came to this world. He had ran in the skin of his wolf through the forest in order to get to here faster and that resulted in the shredding of his clothes.It didn’t feel awkward, it felt natural, he had walked naked on this land so many times that he did not even feel shame. Entering the big, high gates that lead to the insides, he sighed, combing his dark, black hair back with his fingers. This place was like one big hotel, it consisted of plenty of rooms for the pack members to stay, but it was too crowded, which was why Zique decided against staying there.His beta and his gamma lived here though, because apparently they were too lazy to build houses of their own. He didn’t wrong them, the rooms were big and spacious, they were supposedly comfortable and they got to eat around the clock. Who wouldn’t take up such an offer? They were living for free after all.On his way, pack members passed by, Bowing their heads in greet
