Chapter 02

“What have you done!”

“Amaia!” The old man cried, as he saw me, atop a man, I was stabbing him severely, pulling out and in again. On his chest.

He ran to me but stopped when he saw my eyes when I looked up to stare at him. He stood and didn’t say anything else.

But I heard him muttered.

“Curse!”

“Stop Amaia, He’s already dead.”

“But I’m not satisfied.” I half yelled. Still stabbing him.

“He came into my territory, I didn’t go out to him, not like I could leave the mansion anyway he came here. For me, he was gonna kill me.” I was yelling, and the more I yelled the more powerful I felt.

I couldn’t control myself, I kill mercilessly, some surge of power would run in me, each time I fought with a wolf. I was desperate to kill them. I don’t know why I felt that way, fighting with a wolf was my satisfaction. I told the old man, but he had refused to say anything to me, that he was gonna explain later when I turned eighteen, and I’ve been waiting like I’ve been waiting my whole life. Waiting for him to tell me why that was what I want to know. But all I got was silence.

I didn’t know why I was locked up here? He didn’t tell me either.

“C’mon Amaia, you’ve to let go of him, he’s dead.”

“Still not satisfied..” I said with a sigh. He took a step closer to me. I moved away from the wolf. I sat down on the ground. He let out a gasp when he saw the wolf. His eyes show signs of pain and regrets and then scared.

“You know him?”

Slowly he nodded.

“Who is he? Why did he come here?”

“He’s a Beta of the moonlight park.”

“A Beta, isn’t that close to the Alpha?”

Sadly, he nods.

I killed the Alpha Beta, What the heck! It sounds amazing!

But the old man looked more worried.

“This is bad, Amaia, this is so bad.”

“What’s so bad?” I smiled.

“It’s obvious, they sent they sent him here to kill me, but I kinda disappoint them.” I laughed.

“Amaia..”

I stopped laughing, he only called me in that tone when something bad was gonna happen and how serious he is.

“The Alpha sent him!”

“Then we can leave Novak! We can run away from here.”

“This is the safest place for you, you can’t go out to the world.”

“Why? Why can’t I leave here?”

“Because you’re different.”

“It’s because I’ve no wolf.”

“Yes, you have no wolf and you can’t go into the society of wolves. They will kill you, bad things would happen to you, you’ll regret not being a wolf. You’ll hate yourself. You’ll curse your parents for having you?”

“Was I supposed to die?”

“Amaia, listen to me, I know how you feel.”

“You don’t know how I feel!” I flared up, standing from the ground.

“How would you know, I woke up every day, stronger than before, I grow more in a way I don’t even understand, I can’t even understand myself. What I’m becoming, it’s frightening. See what I did to him.”

“You’re a threat to the wolf..” he blurts out, just in the same high tone I was yelling on.

“You’re a curse!” He shouted.

“And we need to leave here, they’re gonna come kill us and you can’t fight a whole army of a wolf, coming for us!”

I stood dumbstruck, he hurried into the cave, I stood still trying to comprehend what he meant, I was a curse, I was a curse!

I was a threat to the wolf.

I stare down at the wolf on the ground, he was sent to kill me and if he didn’t return, they would know I killed him and they would come to kill us.

The old man and I.

I was here because I was a curse, I had so many questions running in my head and I wanted an answer, I wanted to find out what this curse was all about, I wanted to know, I ran to the cave to see the old man packing our clothes into a bag. He stopped packing when he saw me coming.

“I’m sorry I yelled. I couldn’t control my emotions when I saw the Beta, it would have been bad if he killed you, you only did what you had to, we can’t keep hiding anyway. We need to leave Novak.” He held my shoulders and squeezed them.

“I know you’ve so much to ask but once we’ve got to a safe place and ain’t attacked by the wolf, I’ll tell you everything. Everything about your birth. So safe the questions for later.”

He moved away from him and resume packing our pieces of stuff into the bag.

“You can get your clothes. We’ll be leaving soon.”

I nod. But didn’t leave and watch him packing things in. He stopped when he noticed I was still watching him and went back to meet me again.

“You’re a special breed, Amaia, never forget that. And your wolf would come.

“I’m a curse, is that why I don’t a wolf?”

“It would come. It would come.”

“You keep saying that.”

“Because it’s true. Trust me.”

“I always do.” He pulled me into a hug. After he pulls away he kissed my forehead.

“You need to learn to control your powers.”

“You’re gonna teach me ain’t you.”

“I’ll.. but first, wait up..” he walked over to the place he kept our bags and took a book out of it. He handed it to me.

“Read it once we’re safe. I wrote some stuff down for you.”

I nodded and took the note, still shaking in fright.

“Don’t be scared, you could get cured.”

“How?”

“We’ll find out soon enough.”

“Why didn’t you tell me, that I was...” my eyes sting with tears.

“That’s why they abandoned me.”

He pulled me into a hug again.

“You’ll know everything so enough.” I cried on his shoulders. He pats my bad, drawing circles on it.

“It’s okay.”

It only made me cry harder...
