Ariya POV

He was about to corner me and do...I don't want to think about it. Thinking about the probable actions brought a shudder to my body. Instead I was saved by HIS voice.

"Luke where are you? What are you doing in the bathroom boy?"

"I was about to have a good time dad and you had to come in", he said and turned to face him standing at the bathroom door. I had lifted myself from the bathroom floor and was standing to the farthest wall with my head down.

"Sorry son", Son? HE HAD A SON? That means he had a wife and family then why was I brought here and being raped everyday? My blood was boiling and I was close to exploding. My body suddenly felt very hot and out of place. There was an itch just under my skin, but outwardly I was trying to be as calm as possible and not show anything.

"I came to get you ready for the party. Your mom told me to inform you as she forgot. So get ready. You can do what you want with her later" "Fine dad" and Luke as was he called left the room. HE came close to me and snickered into my ear.

"Don't you just attract every male in this pack. Give my son a good time as you give me, else you will answer to me and you know how I question right?" he caught my chin harshly between his fingers and pulled my face closer to his face and kissed me harshly. I did not kiss back in the beginning, my blood was boiling but guess he didn't feel the heat I was feeling. I earned a slap and was brought back to my senses, "kiss me back you worthless piece of shit" and he kissed me roughly again. This time I kissed him with all I could muster.

"That's like my pet" he purred. I hated the name he gave me. I don't remember my own name anymore. It has been now around 16yrs I think since I was taken from my family I guess. I remembered my birthday was today, I was turning 16yrs old, but none would know and none to celebrate with. Another slap to my cheek brought me back to my senses again.

"You don't zone out on me when am talking you got it PET!!!" "Yes boss" I learnt to follow orders at an early age. "Now scram and finish your other chores for the day. We will meet again at night as usual." He slid his hand under my shirt over my non-existent stomach. I stood still as a rock without any emotion and action. "Good pet", he said and left the way he came.

I came back to my senses and finished cleaning Luke's bathroom immediately and then left to complete the other chores for the day. I completed all the work and retired to my room or hole for the night to be taken later to HIM. I was anxiously waiting. My body was starting to feel more hot and the itch under my skin had increased to a burning sensation. I did not know what was happening to me. I sat there still trying to take my mind away from the burning, but I could not.

Soon someone came to fetch me for the night for HIM. I got up and walked along as usual without any emotions. We kept walking and reached his door. The person tapped twice and left me at the door and walked off as usual. The burning had increased to such an extent I thought probably my skin would be red and HE would feel that I was unwell and let me go for today. The door opened and he was standing there in only sweat pants and you could see he was already active down there. I averted my eyes from his muscle defined body and put my head down.

I earned an ear piercing slap from him, "I TOLD YOU TO LOOK AT ME WHEN WE ARE IN THIS ROOM". I immediately put my head up and looked into his soulless dark pits of eyes. The burning inside of me was not decreasing at all it was increasing at an alarming rate. I didn't know if I could take the burning any longer my legs were about to give away.

"Could I please be excused for just today. Am not feeling too well." I quivered. he laughed in my face "Nice try to escape pet, but it's not going to work. If you won't make me happy then who will?" The words 'your wife' were just on my lips but I controlled myself. I was about to fall to the floor as a result of the burning in my veins which had increased to such an extent, I felt that probably I was fuming now. But I was pulled roughly into the room by HIM. He did not flinch on touching me, so am guessing he doesn't feel my burning sensation it's just me.

This concerned me even more. what's happening to me. I prayed if this was the end then let it be swift and quick. He moved towards me in a stealthy manner as a predator to a prey. I moved back for each step he took towards me and was soon blocked by the wall behind with nowhere to go. He was right in front of me.

He reached out his hands under my torn and tiny shirt and ran his scabby scaly fingers on my stomach and then slowly rose them over my chest caressing my nipples and lifting my shirt off. I did not make any noise, knowing if I did it would get worse. I stood still, trying to stand on my own two legs. He looked at me hungrily, I felt violated and disgusted with myself for having to go through this everyday for the past 16yrs. Oh yes! it's my birthday today. I stole a glance at the clock and realised the time was 12AM, now am 16yrs old. I cried within myself and wished happy birthday.

His hands were moving everywhere, the burning sensation got to the highest and I fell to the floor. I could not take it any longer. A cry ripped from my mouth coz of the burning. It earned a kick to my gut and shout to be quiet and not wake everyone up. I quietened down but the burning increased to an extent that when HE touched me again, sudden energy blazed within me and I shot him with my hands to the opposite wall.

His head it hard and he slid down with a thud. I was shocked at my sudden strength. But it didn't last longer, as I was now cradling myself on the floor trying to control the pain that was shooting in my body. Suddenly I heard cracks in my body as though my bones were being broken. I frantically looked around but none else was there and the one person was lying unconscious near the opposite wall. I was confused, scared and terrified about what was happening. I didn't have the time to register things happening to my body when suddenly I found myself standing on all fours. I saw paws instead of my hands and legs. There was silverish-blue fur on the paws. I looked around to see who this was and were my body had gone. I was desperate to know where my body went. I looked around the room to still find none else and HIM lying there unconscious.

"Calm down. You are here. Am here"

"Who is that? Who are you? What do you want? Where is my body?"

"We are one and the same. I am Aria. Your wolf."

"Wolf?" "Yes your wolf. We are powerful. Powerful enough that people would want to control us."

"What?" "Yes now let's get out of here"

"We cannot. These people will capture me and kill me, rather punish me more severely than last time I tried to escape. They...they..." "I know what they did to you. I was there. I saw and felt it."

"How did you see? You were not there.." "I was always there. You were young and naive. But I could not help you at that time. Now am here. Let's go."

"I...I...can't...am scared.." "Don't be am here with you. You are powerful....we are powerful.."

"Where will we go? I don't have any family I think and this is the only place I know...."

"No I know where you have to go just follow me" It was then that I realized I was tlaking with myself. I felt crazy nuts even. I thought probably I finally snapped and it was time for me to go to the loony bin. I started to laugh at the turn of events in my life.

"what are you laughing about?" Aria I think her name was questioned me.

"Right....your a wolf...no IAM A WOLF.....hahaha" I laughed maniacally. I forgot about the other person in the room. In the meanwhile he had regained consciousness and was staring at me with intent eyes. Eyes that had awe and jealousy? I was not aware of my surroundings as usual and was in my own dream world talking to my wolf, I did not notice him approaching with a needle in hand.

Ariya immediately turned and ducked just in time to miss the needle prick. HE tried to jump her and hold her down to prick her. Ariya was not having any of it, she ravenously bit into his leg and threw him off of her. he lost hold of the syringe with some transparent liquid. She stood in a defensive stance against him.

"You think you can take me PET?" he spat at Aria. I was watching all this as a spectator. Aria growled at him loudly. Immediately there was a black wolf with two white paws infront of us. He lunged at us trying to get our neck, but Aria dodged him effortlessly. he tried to get our hind legs again, but Aria kicked him in the snout and did a quick 360 and caught him off-guard by the neck. She immediately linked him "any last words MONGREL"

"How can you link me?" he stuttered. "You have no idea who we are.....hahaha" her sinister laugh was the last I heard before a sickening crack echoed the room ending HIS life. His body returned, his wolf disappearing. I was scared but I was at peace finally.

"Now time to get out of this hell hole.", Aria exclaimed as she burst through the door to this shitty room and sped outside. How did she know the paths or gates, I have no idea. I just stayed at the back and allowed her to take control. I went into a deep and peaceful sleep that was much needed for the long years of sleeplessness I had to endure.

I finally accepted and agreed that with Aria by my side I can face whatever life is going to throw at me next and I zoned out.
