Travails of Oluwole

PROLOGUE

It was nearly midnight,the night sky was picturesque ,the pale crescent moon shined like a silvery claw in the night sky.

I stared at my parents with teary eyes.i didn't know what was going on.i was only twelve years old.

"You failed as an alpha of blue moon pack,You betrayed the pack and you shall be executed"Oliver my aunt's husband said to my dad and the werewolves in our pack howled in acceptance.

"Let the execution begin"the leader of the our community said.

The mother of Janet my friend came to take me away but she was stopped by my aunt Emily.

"This is none of your business,she is not related to you"I heard Emily say to her.

"She is just a child,how possibly do you want her to watch her parents get killed"my friend's mother said to Emily.

Emily held my hands forcefully."I am now the Luna of this pack and you won't disobey my orders,she has to watch it so she will see how traitors are punished so she won't try to become one"My aunt said and my friend's mother backed off.

The executioner raised his silver sword to the moon and used it to cut of my dad's head and his head rolled on the ground.my small body was fidgeting,I was shocked and scared.i could see the triumphant smile on Emily's face.

"I love you"was the last word I heard from my mother to me before her head came rolling to the ground where I was standing.

Everything was like a dream to me,my vision became blurry and I collapsed due to extreme shock.

I woke up immediately,sweats covered my body,my hands reached for the jug and I poured myself water in the cup and gulped it down immediately, inhaling and exhaling.this has been a dream hunting me in my sleep every night.witnessing the death of my parents moulded me into a weak person.i was scared of everything around me.

My aunt was not helping matters at all,she didn't fail to remind me that my parents were traitors and that I will be killed like them too if I become one but deep within me,I knew my parents were innocent,I knew my parents well and I looked up to them.

Ever since my parents died,life had been hell for me in my aunt's house.

The only day I held on to for my freedom was the day I will clock eighteen,the day I will find my mate.
