Prologue

It's dark. The creepy atmosphere of the woods envelops me. The eerie feel of the wind against my dark skin giving me goosebumps as I run through the night. I keep on running as fast as my heavy and tired legs can carry me, my heart racing as the darkness that's after me tries to consume me. I don't know what or why this is happening, who is after me, or what I've done to deserve this. All I know is I've given in to my primal instinct which keeps on whispering a single word into my already troubled mind.

"SURVIVE."

I take a left turn and duck as I near a thick branch which causes me to miss my step and crash into a nearby tree, my body feeling the full impact as I grunt and hold onto my sides. This doesn't stop me as I immediately get up and continue on my quest for survival against whatever monstrosity that's after me.

"Why me?"

"What is it?"

"Am I gonna die?"

These were the questions that troubled my mind as I took another turn into the open forest.

"BIG MISTAKE", I thought to myself as I fell yet again onto the cold forest floor. Now all that stands between me and the unknown beast is the clear and open space and I'm sure that isn't gonna help me anytime soon.

The beast begins to amble towards me, like a predator taking time to study its prey before ripping it apart. I don't find it amusing tho cause in this case, I am the prey and in a few seconds, my connection to Mother Earth will cease to exist.

I begin to retrograde using my exhausted arms to assist my wounded body. Not like that'll do anything but at this point my body didn't seem to care anymore.

It finally got to me and approached me threateningly but slowly.

All I can do is shake and tremble as I feel the hot air slowly come out of the beast's mouth as it gets closer.

Out of fear or stupidity, I don't know which, I decided that if I was going to die then I would at least like to know what killed me.

I slowly lift my head from my petrified position as I take a glance at my attacker little by little until it fully came into view.

I don't know what I was expecting to feel when I saw an oversized wolf towering over my body but it definitely was not to be entranced by the thing that wants to kill me.

I didn't know what to think at that moment as I adjusted my position a little so I could take in a full view of the wolf I was now so much interested in and boy was I dazzled.

It had black fur gleaming in the moonlight giving it a dangerously alluring sight. It had Strong and mighty legs and paws which stood firm in the ground giving it an authoritative look. And then I looked at its head and took in the distinguished features it held there. Its muzzle complimenting its well-defined and gorgeous face.

I was entranced by its set of white sharp fangs but immediately brushed it off when the thought of being between them dead flashed across my mind.

Then I looked into its eyes and damn were they bewitching. They were blue and they had a striking calming beauty to them. The kind that made you feel safe while being hunted by an abnormally sized wolf(And no I'm not crazy).

Kind of reminds you of a morning at the beach while you stare at the beautiful sea except, in this case, its eyes were the sea gently bringing calm to my unstable heart.

All I could think of was the gorgeous black oversized wolf and I don't know why buh I could feel it staring right back at me.

It then opened its mouth, barred its fangs, and proceeded to end my life. I didn't bother to run as I was too captivated by its beauty. I just didn't care anymore. In fact, at a certain point, it felt like my body yearned for its fangs, inviting it into its territory.

It then slowly bit into my shoulder just before my neck. The moment its fangs sunk in, all I felt was excruciating pain as I screamed into the night, its fangs going deeper into my fleshy territory, the pain making me wish that this is all a dream, a nightmare. One that I'm sure would scar me for the rest of my life but it's a whole lot better than death.

But just as the pain came, it goes and at that moment I felt like an empty part of me was finally filled up. I felt complete. I felt whole.

It was then I felt it all. Emotions of anger, fear, anxiety, worry, and care. I could tell that all these emotions weren't mine but I felt them clearly as if they were my own.

My body couldn't handle the sudden rush of emotions in my current weakened state so it slumps and decides to shut down, completely cutting me off from the world.

But just before I reach the abyss of unconsciousness, I hear a particular word in my head that had my already scrambled mind a lot more confused and happy.

"Mine."
