Hunting the demon Alpha

Myla!

Myla! Stop!

Myla could hear her name being called but all that was on her mind right now was saving her father.

Her father halted as soon as he saw her and his eyes widened but before he could move, the wolf boy ran up to him with the speed of lightning and yanked out his heart. The blood splashed on Myla as she stood there frozen on the spot. Her eyes were filled with horror and her hands shook as she watched her father fall to the ground. It was like the earth stopped moving at that moment. She walked slowly towards her father and fell right in front of him.

“Father?" She asked softly as she shook his shoulder but she knew in her heart that he was already dead and it was all her fault. She turned to the wolf boy with angry eyes and pulled out her dagger.

“I'm going to kill you, you Monster" She saw the hurt flash through his eyes but she could care less. She wanted him to feel the pain she was feeling right now in her chest. Tears fell from her eyes as she ran up to him with her dagger in her hand but she was only able to slice him across the arm before he disappeared with a puff of smoke.

“Come back here you monster, I'm going to kill you even if it's the last thing I do!!"....

As Myla rode through the Ruolyan forest with the other trainers, she couldn't help but remember what had happened ten years ago. She stopped her horse with a sigh then turned to stare at the waterfall and mountains in front of her. It was so beautiful that it calmed her down. It has been so long since she left the clan.

Her mother had become too strict about her safety. After her father died, Myla wasn't allowed to leave the clan at all. All she could do was watch her friendship go hunting while she stayed back to practice but she didn't mind doing that all those years because she was determined to get stronger and her mother was a great huntress and with the help of some of the trainers in their clan, Myla had become the best hunter in all five clans. After some time, she started getting bored of seeing the same things over and over again but anytime she asked her mother to allow her to go hunting with the others, it was the same answer over and over again. No!

But then she took a stand today and told her mother that training in a secluded place wasn't going to help her and so was shielding her from the outside world. Myla had lost all her street senses and the outside world felt so new to her. Still, she hadn't forgotten her mission, she felt she had trained enough and she was ready now, she was ready to face the demon wolf.

“Myla!" She turned to the voice and saw Luane and Noah riding towards her.

“We thought something had happened to you,why are you here?" Luane questioned with a stern look in her eyes which made Myla roll her eyes.

“Calm down, I didn't escape my mother today to hear nags from you. Besides, I was just enjoying the view, it has been so long" Noah nodded with a smile on his face.

“Yeah but it would all be worth it in the end, when you finally kill him" Myla smiled with a nod.

“Let's go already, I'm sure the others are searching for us. Last one there is a rotten octopus!" She yelled then rode away. Noah turned to Myla with a smile.

“You coming?" She nodded at him and they rode away.

“Today, someone special is here with us and this is her first time training with us. Myla?" She smiled at him and at everyone else.

“Yes sir" He smiled kindly at her then turned to the rest.

“Today, I am going to test your agility and how quick witted you are. Today, you'll all be hunting down a tiger" Everyone gasped including Myla. They had never hunted down tigers, lions or wolves before. She smiled at the challenge but she saw the nervousness in others, even Luane.

“Sir? We have never hunted such animals before" A girl who Myla knew as Nicole spoke up. The trainer glared at her.

“We are hunters, nothing associated with never should ever come out of your mouth. You have been thought to hunt down wild and dangerous animals and this is your time to put your training to the test" He saw that they were still unsure so he sighed and said;

“Anyone that gets to kill a tiger first will become my personal assistant" They gasped. Being an assistant to him meant the chance for a raise in ranking back at their clan. Myla didn't really need it but she was going to capture the tiger because this would finally be an eye opener for her mother. This was the only way she could prove she was ready to fulfill her promise

“Okay sir, we got this" He smiled at her then turned to the rest of the group.

“Get whatever weapon you're better with and get it ready. At the count of five, you'll begin the hunt" Myla smiled at Luane and Noah before turning to the trainer.

1!

2!

3!

4!

5! Go!

They all ran like their lives depended on it. This was the Ruolyan forest which meant there was probably only one tiger in the clearing and Myla had to get to it first.

When she found herself all alone, she took a deep breath then closed her eyes and felt the wind. Her mother always told her that the wind always showed the way to the prey and luckily enough, she felt the tiger. She smiled before running towards it's direction.

Her eyes widened in excitement as she spotted it. When she was younger, she would have thought twice before shooting the Tiger with her arrow but she had grown up now and that childish mentality had disappeared. She drew her arrow backwards then Aimed at the tiger and was about to shoot it when an arrow came flying over her head and hitting the tiger. Myla watched the tiger fall to the ground with a frown then turned around and saw Luane behind her with a proud smile.

“I got it!" Luane yelled to alert everyone and Myla couldn't help but feel anger.

“I got it first, why were you following me?" Luane furrowed her eyebrows.

“I didn't follow you and I shot it fair and square" Just then, Noah walked towards them with the rest of the trainers behind him. He looked between Myla and Luane and saw the glare they were throwing at each other.

“What happened?" He touched Myla's shoulder but she swatted it away and walked out of their midst. She couldn't look Luane in the eyes. Luane clearly saw she was about to shoot the tiger so why did she shoot?

She ran back to their horses and was about to climb on her own and ride back to the clan when Noah called her name.

“Myla, wait. What's wrong?" She turned to him with a frown.

“Luane betrayed me, that's what. I want to go home" Without any question, he hopped on his horse and waited for her to get on hers before they rode away together. Myla knew Noah had feelings for her but they never touched on their subject and she was glad about that because she had no feelings for him whatsoever....
