CHAPTER 3

I felt all my bones crushing as I scream loud in agony, this was something I wanted to live to tell.

I could feel an excruciating Pain all over my joint, it was an intense suffering so unbearable and yet, all I could be screamed at the top of my voice while my captor just stood there watching.

“ Please!! Make it stop, please I will do anything you want, just make it stop I can't bear it any longer”.

I cried so loud, sweat and tears dripping down my face. I felt like my bones were being replaced with ice and electricity wired straight into my body and suddenly something different was happening, the pain became more intense coupled with torture, the claws grew more, all my skin became hairy, until I was no longer human.

Not only that, but I couldn't describe what I was, an animal or a monster, but which every one it was made all the pain go away completely.

I stood in an animal form, as I felt my body occupied with someone else, or perhaps I was occupying an animal's body and I could hear it voice inside which was strange, yet it felt real.

At that moment, the man who had been watching me, his eyelid raise as his eyes were wide open, his mouth pop open as he stares at me in disbelief like he had just seen an impossible happen, well, literally that was an impossible that just happened.

“ This is impossible!!”

He laments as he quickly walked out of the dungeon. After several minutes, I felt very dizzy like my body was betraying me, my sight became blur until I finally blacked out.

****

I slowly opened my eyes, staring at a white painted ceiling and a modern ceiling fan rolling at a normal pace. I turned my attention to myself starting from my hands, they were no longer full of animals hairs, it was normal the same goes for my legs and fingers.

Although I was no longer feeling pain, but I felt strange, my whole body felt different like it didn't belong to me, I felt stronger, and I perceive almost everything in that room ranging from the apples stacked inside the white fridge placed at the corner of the room, I haven't seen the apple, but I was so sure it was there even though that was the first time I was in that room.

The air freshener in the room felt stronger and more deep to me, more like an entire bottle was sprayed in that room.

I could also perceive the fresh aroma of roasted chicken placed on a brownish table close to the large bed with a white bedsheet sprayed on it, and that was precisely where I laid.

Staring at the plate of chicken, the previous event that occurred with Nathan slowly began popping back into my head, I knew for sure dad and Grandpa were already looking for me, but what I was worried more about was what these monsters were going to do to me.

My thoughts were cut short the moment the metal door painted dark red oil paint clicked open, and the same man walked in.

He was probably in his early thirties, those green eyes piercing at me again, and I felt so drawn to it.

“ Good morning”

He greeted, his words were not audible, and yet, I heard him clearly.

His heights were indeed intimidating, those muscles we're as well scary, and I knew for sure I was in for trouble.

“ Did you get a good rest?”

He questioned, placing a cup filled with a green substance.

“ I know you are going to kill me, but I need my questions answered, so I can die peacefully”

His gaze on me were dark like he was searching for answers in my eyes, I quickly diverted my gaze because I couldn't stand staring at those swooning green eyes for another second.

“ You are not dying today, and I will be the one asking the questions while you answer”

“ What?!”

“ You are a wolf hunter, yes?”

“ What is that? Are we playing some games?”

“ How were you able to survive the bite, the whole transformation, without dying?”

” Is this some kind of joke or a farytale? I don't know what is going, those half human or animals whatever they are I don't know, bite me, brought me here, and you let me go through a whole night of torture, and now you stand here asking me wired questions and expect answers”

“ Do you really want to play dumb, we can do these the whole day, I have all the time in the world. But first eat up the transformation takes half of your strength”.

Staring at the plate of chicken before me, my stomach began to rumble, Nathan didn't even allow to have my steak yesterday before breaking the bad news.

“ Is it poison?”

' Why would your alpha poison you?'

I heard the voice inside of me, I felt like we were now two sharing these body, but I couldn't tell who the other half was.

“ If I want you dead, you will be long gone, why will I go through the stress of poisoning you”?

“ I thought that much”

I immediately piked up the plate and the first bite made me realize how hungry I was.

After I was done eating, he forced me to drink the wired substance and even though I didn't feel like, there was this authority in his voice that made me reluctantly obey.

After drinking the substance, I felt better like more strength was added to the previous and only then did I realize that he's been watching me the whole time, his eyes pinned down on me.

“ Do you really not know what you are, or you choose to play dumb?”

“If I actually did understand any of these things you are saying, do you think I would let you torture me the way you did last night”

From the look on his face, my words finally had an impact on him. He loosened his tight face and sat on the only couch in that room, it was a leather couch with no design, just plain.

“ What your name?”

His tone was soft, and yet, I could still feel that fire in his voice that never failed to send a chill down my spine.

“ Aurelia”

“ Aurelia am Alpha Dario, the Alpha of this werewolf pack. You are from a bloodline of wolf hunters, these are people that hunt on my kind like preys, they never survive a werewolf bite, but somehow you did, and now you are a werewolf”.

He just said some bunch of scary stuffs, I was supposed to be scared and yet, all I did was laugh. I laughed so hard at all he just said.

“ What so funny?”

He narrowed his eyes, staring deeply at me.

“ So what are you trying to say is werewolf exist and am actually one of them?”

I chuckled hearing myself say the word.

“ You actually do not understand the gravity of what is happening, a wolf hunter become a werewolf which means war is about to break out between the werewolves and the hunters, so I got no time for you these!”

He barked about to leave the room as I rushed to him grabbing his arm, that was when I caught hold of the mark on his arm.

“ The next time you lay those filthy hands on me, I will cut off your head”

His eyes were dark as he pushed me away, walking out of the room.
