Chapter 7 Shadows Of Desperation

• Running to her room felt like running to hell; all she could hear when she stepped out of the kitchen was laughter. Her ears were filled with what sounded like misery.
• When she finally arrived at her hell hole of a room, she quickly locked the door and ran to her bed, where she dumped her frail body. A terrible whimper escaped her lips, then her whimpers turned to heavy sobs, breaking the silence that surrounded her. She was alone, the only person who had loved her was her father, who had died at her young age at the hands of the vampires.
• "God damned, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of living," she said to herself as she fell to her knees and sobbed uncontrollably. Why would the alpha's son lie to the entire pack? Why hadn't he killed her instead? He had kept her alive only to torment her life and make it miserable. Then a thought crossed her mind: wouldn't it be better if she committed suicide? Death would heal her pain and probably give her more sanity than she was feeling right now.
• She stood up from the ground and took a seat as she walked towards the bathroom; she had not felt this heaviness in her before, not even the night she realized she was wolfless.
• Taking a rope she found on the floor, she tied it around the sharp iron that had served as a hook, where she had dried her underwear, she tied the rope around, then created another round hole where she would insert her neck into, she stood on the chair ready to die, and quickly, without thinking, she inserted her neck in the holes, quickly leaving the chair where she stood, waiting to die, but just as quickly as she left the chair, she fell on the floor with a loud thump A terrible scream escaped her lips; Assuming that she had fallen from the wrong position, the hook was sharp enough to have caused a large gash in her throat.. Then she looked up, trying to figure out what had gone wrong with her plans and where she had gone wrong. That's when she noticed the large hole in the ceiling where the hook was hung; the cracks in the ceiling may have made the hook weak, so she stood up and dusted her clothes.
• Someone was praying for her to be alive; suicide was never the right thing to do. And how the hell did the idea of committing suicide entered her head? As she walked out of the bath, she waved her head. She was never going to let Lucas' words get inside her again, and she was never going to fall victim to his pranks. Never! She'd be strong, preparing for the day she'd escape, and she'd have to keep that thought to herself.

• In a hall with at least six men seated at the table. As they sat with the alpha who leads the Air winder pack, another smaller throne was placed beside the alpha's throne on the right hand side, and Lucas, the alpha's son, sat on that little throne. Every man is seated according to his title. They were members of the pack council, similar to chief warriors and ministers.
• "I called your attention today because, as the goddess stated, tomorrow is the full moon festival." When every werewolf of the appropriate age is mated to their mate, Lucas, my successor, takes command of the pack. "And the goddess has given you a new Luna," Vincent said, looking around the room at the men.
• "With the new wars raging between our pack and the vampires, food is becoming scarce, and the goddess refuses to rain on us."
• The Alpha said, as he stared at his men.
• "To rule the pack, the pack also requires a stronger and wiser alpha.
• The late Beta never had a son, his son will take over the position of his father.
• "The son of the most recent beta will have to take over his father's position, as will other warriors."
• Alpha Vincent said, watching as everyone nodded their heads in agreement with the alpha's words.
• "The men had sent me a message about their recent misadventures," Cai said, interrupting the alpha.
• "And how did you hear from the men sent to bring food to the pack, did they succeed in their exploits?"
• Alpha Vincent inquired, his voice sharp and brutal like Lucas', his blonde hair covering part of his face making him look equally dangerous as Lucas.
• "No, my alpha, the men had severe mishaps on their way. The vampires will not let them take what is rightfully ours. That land on which the vampires farm belongs to the werewolves, to our pack, but the vampire king, Blade, has taken control of it."
• One of the men said.
• The previous month, they were almost on a rampage to destroy the vampires, but they knew they couldn't. They have no control over them; the vampires are far more powerful; those blood thirsty animals were savages who had killed the pack's previous beta.
• "And what had been done concerning these, are you going to leave them and allow them to trample on us?" Lucas asked, irritated, how much he despised vampires, especially their king. The ruthless devil who caused him to lose his left hand.
• "Nothing alpha Vincent, I have sent some men into the land to take the produce that was already ready to harvest in the land and attack anyone who crossed their path, they had attacked the vampires in full force, and they were the weaker vampires, they couldn't fight back, and more produce had been looted in the land, they will be back in a short while,"
• Cai said, a dark bulky man, he had the strength of three werewolves joined together, he was the beta of the pack
• "What did you just say, you sent some of my men to go attack the vampires, the vampire who lives in the vampire's king land, without any cover, you Beta Cai, you just put the entire pack in danger, you of all people know that,"
• Alpha Vincent said. His face was filled with fear; his men were causing problems for him and the rest of the pack; he was messing with the wrong one, the wrong bloody King.
