"Mom, Dad". Seven year old Iris called quietly as she watched her parents kneel in front of the Alpha of the Grimfur Canines Pack from afar. A tear dropped from her left eye because she knew the fate that awaited them. The warriors of the Grimfur Canines Pack had already murdered the warriors and Omegas in her pack. Just the Beta, Gamma, a few warriors and her parents were alive.
"What have we done to deserve this?". George, her father and the Alpha, asked. "We did you no harm!".
"You haven't done anything, yet". Alpha Cray, the Alpha of the Grimfur Canines Pack, said. "At the rate by which your pack is growing stronger, one of these days, you'll challenge me for my pack just as I've done to you. I can't, will not wait for that to happen. Killing you is the only way to prevent you from overthrowing me as the strongest and most feared Alpha".
"You'll pay for this Cray, I swear you'll pay for this". Alpha George growled in anger.
"How?". Alpha Cray chuckled darkly. "You're not going to leave here alive. Every one of your pack members will die by my hand. No one will avenge your death or the destruction of your pack. No one at all". Alpha Cray laughed menacingly while Alpha George glared at him. "Or better still". His eyes zeroed in on Irene Winchester, the Luna. "I can keep your wife as a trophy, a reminder of today, I'm pretty sure my wife won't mind". He said while ogling her.
"If you lay a fücking hand on my wife I'll kill you right here and now!". Alpha George growled and lunged at Alpha Cray but six warriors held him down on time before he could get to Alpha Cray.
"Calm down pup, I'm just messing with you like old times". Alpha Cray winked. "By the way". He added, looking around. "I thought you had a child, a daughter to be precise or am I mistaken?".
Iris gasped and quickly hid from view even though from where she was watching from, no one could see her.
Alpha George sighed and looked away. "She's dead. She died a week ago".
"Tsk". Alpha Cray clicked his tongue. "Too bad, she would have been a perfect partner for my son. Well, you're in luck because both you and your beautiful wife here will soon join her". He took a step back and signaled to the warriors. "Hold him down".
The warriors forced Alpha George to his knees and grabbed his head, forcing it back and revealing his neck to Alpha Cray. Iris watched in horror as Alpha Cray transformed into his huge Grey Wolf and bit the head of her father off and then her mother and tossed them aside.....
IRIS's P.O.V
I woke up with a gasp from the horrid dream which I had. A reminder of what happened eleven years ago when I was orphaned by the Grimfur Canines Pack, when those monsters murdered my family and my pack. I sat up on my makeshift bed and wiped the sweat that had pooled, from my forehead. Eleven years and I still had nightmares. Watching the heads of my parents being ripped off and tossed aside still haunted me. Not a day went by that I didn't relive that day.
I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart and blinked away the tears that were threatening to fall.
"HEY!". I heard a loud banging on the basement door. "Are you going to spend the entire day in there Elise! Do not make me come in here to drag you out by your ear!!". A familiar voice yelled as he continuously banged on the door.
I rolled my eyes in frustration, And yeah, I forgot to add, the same pack that killed my family was the same pack that decided to take me in and raise me not as one of their own, definitely not but as a freaking slave that cleaned up their shït.
The only comforting thing about being their slave was that in three days time, I would be turning eighteen which also meant I'd be getting my Wolf. For the first time in eleven years, I'd finally have a companion. Someone to talk to and share my burden with and then I could put my escape plan into motion and get the fücking hell away from here for good. Right then, I didn't know where exactly I would go to after escaping but I'd figure that out along the way.
Luckily for me, the same day I got my Wolf was the ceremony for the current Alpha's son to take over as the new Alpha. I'd use that opportunity to escape, by the time they realized I had escaped, I'd be long gone.
"ELISE!". He yelled again and I sighed.
"Coming". I groaned out and stood up from the really small bed I was given. I walked to the door and opened it to find the head of the Omegas, Mark, standing there and shooting me a deadly glare.
"What the fück were you doing?!". He growled. "I've been knocking for the past five minutes!".
"Sorry". I murmured dryly.
"Sorry?! That's all you have to say?!".
