Episode 7

Each distance away from my mate sent severe pain through me. I was going far from him, and it was so painful that I wished I hadn't met him. Maybe it would ease my pain from this.

More tears rolled down as I whimpered. My heart was growing so heavy. This would be the first and last time I would be able to see a glimpse of him. I was lucky to get out of that prison I called home. When on earth would I be able to walk out? Why would we meet again?

I rested my head on the wall of the cart and admired him in my memory. I could see those cute faces even if it was from afar. His body was well built and muscular, with a nice chiseled jaw and great lips.

Oh why?...

I sobbed, burying my face into my palm with tears wetting it all.

After a few minutes, the cart stopped moving, and I realized I was back in hell; all glimmer of happiness had faded, and great sadness had rushed in; my wolf was all sober, and I could feel the deep sadness.

"How are we meeting our mate again? ..I did mind-link, but it wasn't much stronger, so he couldn't see us quickly before we were taken away. " Lena spoke out for the first time. She was exuding real grief.

I was about to give her a soothing reply when the door was opened and I raised my head only to see those scary faces of the guards glaring at me like I was the reason for all their misfortune in life.

"Get out there before I tear you apart!" He huffed, making me swallow hard. Can these people ever talk to me without threatening me or hating me?

I brought my miserable self down and he moved away, avoiding me like I would kill him with a touch. I could only shrug, absorbing the pain of rejection.

My eyes roamed around the packhouse for the Royal family. It was the most well-built and beautiful. Flowers were everywhere, expensive marbles and shiny things were used to make it look like a paradise. I can swear it cost a lot of money. I just felt like I didn't belong here.

"What are you staring at?" One of the guards yelled before slapping my head. The force moved me forward. The slap was painful and humiliating, but I couldn't do anything when I had no right and was going to meet the same group of people who hated me with all they got, all their heart.

Each step made my heart beat so loud and heavy. I'm sure they would be assembled as usual. They are all awaiting my arrival.

"Is that how you walk? You feel guilty for your evil deeds, but why do you allow evil to take possession of you!" One of the guards who seemed to hate me more snorted, and I swallowed the lump in my throat, wondering if he asked a question to be answered.

"I didn't kill anyone..I have never killed!" I replied under my breath.

"A demon would never accept that they are one. Your eyes and day of birth say it all. There is no need for all these seers and sorcerers!" He scowled and gave me one of those looks that makes one feel like fainting in shame.

I got close to the door and felt my heart twitch; there was my father's voice, my stepmother's voice, the beta's voice; all of them were in there.

The door was opened wide, and everyone's gaze was on me again.

"She is strong even after the pain. We thought it would take a month..she must really be a stronger demon than we thought!" Elf was the first to vent her rage at me.

I walked in and could feel their gaze all on me. These were the same faces, the same set of people that could have killed me if that good witch hadn't come in, even Dad..

"Good day, the greatest Alpha and Luna of our time. I'm back.." I greeted them with a full bow.

"She is really good at hiding the demon in her.." I heard another voice but didn't care to know who said it.

"I want you to shift into your wolf now.." My dad ordered with a suspicious look, and I wondered what it meant, like what did he think?

I sighed and made the shift in front of them.

"Who gave you the white fur?" He inquired, and I returned to my human form, exhausted not only from the pain of shifting but also from my mate.

He is just the only one in my mind now.

A hot slap struck my face, toppling me off my feet immediately as I fell on my butt. It was followed by a kick to my head.

As the gamma used its war might on me like I was a non-living thing, I let out a loud shrill.

"How dare you turn a deaf ear to the alpha?!" He yelled with a devilish look.

I couldn't even reply as he kept hitting me so that my whole body army went on fire. Blood was oozing out of my head and legs.

"Please..sir, I'm sorry!" I pleaded, but it made him more enraged.

"You were sorry when you killed the first luna, a woman who fought like a warrior and made this pack what it is. You killed her because you've got a mission to wipe us out with your demon accomplice!" He gritted and gave me the final kick in my belly, making curdled blood spurt out of my mouth.

"Greg, it's okay...let's see how she will wage the war on us. The sorcerer has said it all. She has told us all her secrets, so we will show her what we can do!" Wolve, the alpha king, howled, his deep voice shrilling over me.

I spit out more blood from my mouth and looked up at him. I needed to know if there was any resemblance between us because right now, I'm sure he isn't my father. He can never be!

There was a pure difference between us. I resembled only my mother.

"Get her up for questioning! Also get the whip!" He ordered, my own dad ordered, without seeing how weak I was, without seeing how drained I was. I just recovered, yet he isn't concerned.

He could have killed me if he could. If not for my royal blood, I would have been buried alive!

"Dad, I am a normal wolf! ..these eyes are the only strange thing about me and it can be a result of mutation, mom died while giving birth to me, but it doesn't mean I killed her. I was still a baby then. Why would I...kill my own mother?" I whimpered, watching as the men brought out the whip and dragged me up.

"The sorcerer told us all your mission.." The Beta snorted, and I glanced at him.

"I have no mission. I'm being maltreated for nothing!" I breathed, and the Luna burst into a laugh of scorn.

"She told us you killed Luna because she is the only one who can bring you down. You are a demon in wolf form. There is no need to defend yourself. You are a spy, and your team are planning an attack, but I'm sorry to disappoint you; you won't succeed!" Wolve the Alpha gloated, smirking at me like all those words were true.

"Dad, you believe....."

"I couldn't finish my words before he rushed at me with the speed of a warrior. His strong palm grasped my neck tight. There was great fury in those deep green eyes which peered into mine.

" I am not your father and have never been! Don't dare call me a father to you again!" He thundered, pressing his grip more tightly so that I nearly choked to death.

He raised me up from the ground and slammed me to the ground forcefully, sending these sharp pains again.

I cried In pain and terror, facing the Almighty Alpha, I trembled. His muscular body formed a huge shadow over me. Fear couldn't even let me cry...

"In front of everyone, at this very moment, I, Alpha Wolve, disown Elena as being my daughter!" He thundered, and I felt my whole world crumble.

The last person I thought was my family had dropped me off.

"She would be bound in this house and not allowed to leave; she has no right and would be treated as an omega; the warriors would have to lash her with five whip strokes every day, so she would know that the great alpha can never be caught in her web!" He announced, leaving me more shattered and empty.

What else could I say? My life comes to an end here!

"Good of her..." I heard Elf's voice and turned to her in anger but was shocked at what my inner eyes saw.

She had the face of one of the most powerful demons in history, with a long canine, bloody red eyes, long claws, thorny wings, and two horns on her head.

I trembled and screamed, pointing at her, but just then, I was slammed and it made me fall into unconsciousness...

Could it be true?

Is Elf a demon??
