Falling for the Alpha

“Lisa, let’s run faster!” Sean yelled as he continued to run, occasionally looking back to make sure his sister was running behind him and not falling behind.

Their breathing sounded heavy and labored, sweat-drenched all over their bodies, arms, and legs injured by the thorns of plants in the forest. The exhaustion was palpable, and both of their knees ached as they had been running non-stop in the dark and lonely forest.

“Sean, wait. I can’t run anymore,” Lisa said while trying to catch her breath.

“Well, let’s rest for a while, then we’ll get back to run because they’ll chase us here,” Sean replied as he asked Lisa to sit under a tree and he sat next to his sister.

“I’m sorry I got you involved in this,” Lisa said sadly.

“You don’t need to apologize. Didn’t we promise mom to take care of each other? The most important thing is that we get out of this forest,” Sean said.

“Thank you, Sean. I think I feel stronger already. Let’s get back to running,” Lisa said.

“Let’s just walk fast to save energy. But the problem is, where do we go?” They both looked around the forest, trying to find help, but to no avail. They were in the middle of the forest and caught in a battle between the two strongest packs in the city, the Black Skull Pack and the Blood Moon Pack.

It was a full moon night, and there were wolf howls everywhere. The howls echoed throughout the forest, making anyone’s guts shrink. Worse, Lisa and Sean didn’t know where they should escape from the wolves.

Their bodies were too tired, but inevitably, they had to find shelter. The night was getting late and there was no light in the distance, only a row of tall trees towering into the sky and a thin fog that was enough to block the eyes.

So they walked back through the dark and uninhabited forest. They could hear only the sounds of night animals echoing in their ears. Both of them felt terrified, especially since they had just seen a large group of creatures that they had never seen before.

Two groups of creatures were like dogs, except that they were larger, with sharp fangs and terrifying eyes, plus their howls made the hairs stand up.

After a long time of walking, they went deeper into the forest, where the moonlight only illuminated a small part of the forest. Thorny plants and steep paths had to be traversed by them. Often, the skin of their hands and feet was cut by the sharp thorns of the plants.

As far as the eye could see, not a single person was passing by, and there was no light entering the forest. This made them even more afraid and worried. Would they be lost forever in the forest? Would they be eaten to death by wolves?

They regretted that their curiosity had gotten them stuck in the middle of the forest at night with no supplies. While enduring the cold, they continued to walk while hoping to find a house that they could use as a place to rest.

“Sean, how is this? How long do we have to keep going?” Lisa asked, holding back tears.

“I don’t know, but we can’t stop walking,” Sean replied as he looked at his sister’s face.

However, misfortune did not stop there. In the distance, a wolf was running towards them at full speed. As the two watched the battle between the two strongest packs, a werewolf picked their scent up, and now he was chasing them for attacking and devouring them.
