His Slave

Daciana POV

-Hours earlier-

"why aren't you really in support of this war?" I asked the pack beta that one big question that's been lingering on my lips.

I mean everyone of this pack is so excited about the damn upcoming war between we and the Lycan blood pack, except me off course.

"Well I've a lot of reasons but I've one very major reason for that. It's not as if I'm scared of our pack losing or being enslaved cause definitely that is impossible as no one has ever defeated us.

When I was of your age, I use to pray and wish that I do experience any war before my passing especially since I already met my mate then.

I wanted a war to come in my time so I'll be among those legends who fought and won the battle but everything changed when the previous war came in my time.

I thought since I have a mate, I'll surely come out alive with my mate and my little family alive. As usual our park won the battle but all the happiness and excitement I've harbored for this war, went down the drain when I lost my mate and my first son.

maybe I could have lost Ava too if I hadn't taken her to my sister park before the war since she was still a toddler then"

"Wait...You had a son?" I was dumbfounded.

He nodded, his eyes emitting plangent. If I should have an eye of a eagle, I could swear he was trying so  hard  to fight back the tears building up in those Hazel eyes of his.   and I instantly regretted brining up this topic. It's the first time I'm seeing the beta  in such lugubrious state. The death of his wife and son must have really been tragic for him.

"I'm sorry about that." I mumbled.

"It's okay." He gave me a reassuring smile. "I've gotten over it I guess but please don't ever tell Ava about this okay?"

"Sure I won't" the beta really spent quality time with me this morning, I wouldn't have mind spending a whole day with him as I consider him more a father to me than my  biological father But when my father arrived I have to leave them and came here  to my favorite spot—the alyvia forest.

Right now, I'm sitting up high in a tree on one of the branches. My head rested against another branch my gaze fixed to the sky.

The songs of those birds playing around in the sky  filled me with a sense of tranquility. I wish to be like them_they are so free and happy with thier lives.

I stayed up here for a long time till the sky starts getting dark.

the birds began flying away and the cloud starts grumbling.

It took two thunder bolt and a drop of water on my body to realise that it's about to rain.

With that, I jumped down from the tree and started racing.

Now the rain start pouring down angressively making The ground slippery.

I wasn't careful enough so I slipped and fell down. My head came in contact with a stone and that's it.

I blacked out.

          ***

I was hearing crackling and popping noises of woods burning but I couldn't fathom where's coming from as I was grooming in darkness.

Suddenly my eyes flickered open and I was met with fainted light illumating the place I was. Trailing the reflection of the light, I look to my side to see woods burning which was offering  both light and tepidness. With the aim of finding  out where exactly I am, my head spun around.

"We are in a cave." I heard a masculine voice confirmed as if reading my mind. My head kept spinning, this time around, searching for the owner of the voice but it seem I was the only one here.

My chest starts heaving as a sense of terror dominated me. who's that??

I rose up from the floor which I was lying on and I was going to say something when someone walked in. It was the figure of a man, he was clad in a long coat and he has long curly hair. I couldn't see his face until he walks in fully, the light reflected on his face.

his front hair was covering a part of his eye. the other eye that was exposed was pure red. He looks just like a beast seeking to devour someone. the only deference between him and a beast is that he isn't ugly and of course he's human. Yeah,Despite his dangerous Aura, he still manage to look—handsome.

Fear washed over me as he starts walking towards me.

I glumped and starts shifting back with my butt.
