Episode 8

My eyes fluttered open and I felt weakened to the core. I couldn't even move my fingers. My head pounded so heavily and it was like I would die,

The pains were too excruciating and got deep into my bone marrow...

I opened my eyes more widely to see my surroundings, to know where I was now, but everything was just blurred. It was like I had become partially blind. With a deep grunt of pain, I shut my eyes again, absorbing the intense pain that filled my whole body.

I don't know what was used on me, but I was sure the wolfsbane was also added. That is just the only substance that can make me feel this severe pain.

But why am I treated this way? Even though it had been a long time since my mother died, everyone continued to despise me. They should have forgotten all that and accepted me back as a living being. I have suffered for years and it isn't getting better. They want me dead and forgotten.

I opened my eyes again and felt my head pound so hard that I thought it would fall off. Hot tears streamed down my cheeks, and I felt pain, real pain that ripped my heart apart.

"Elena, why did they use that wolfsbane whip on us?" My wolf cried, and more tears streamed down. I could feel her pain and mine together.

"I think we should run away and turn rogue. There might be a chance to have a good life. I may die!" She shrieked, and I bit my lower lip, cursing the day I was born.

I came back home after recovering from that substance from the sorcerer. Don't I deserve to have a little rest? I should have died, but was lucky to survive it and was strong enough to be on my feet. Wasn't that something they should be a bit happy about? I recovered quickly, but it appears they were upset that I was still alive. My breathing annoys them all.

I don't know how my mother looks. I don't know why she died. I don't know why my eyes are this way. There was nothing strange that happened to me except for that strange dream when I was unconscious and this unusual feeling of having a strange beast in me...

But at least since I was born, I have never killed anyone!

Just then, the door of the room opened, and I turned my gaze to the door weakly, only to feel my heart flipping as I saw Elf walk in with a huge smirk. I swallowed the lump in my throat and grunted in pain that filled me up as I tried to sit up. I wanted to look a bit strong so she wouldn't think she succeeded.

She got closer and burst into laughter, making me ashamed. I just don't get it all. It seems she derives joy from my pain, and I just can't help but wonder where I wronged her or what I did to her since she came here.

"How was it?" She asked gloatingly,

I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. Just then, I recalled what I had seen before losing consciousness...

My eyes widened and I got goosebumps all over me.

"Elf, who are you?" I asked, recalling it all. I could see the demon look she got the moment I looked up to her in the palace...

My question made her frown...

"What is this demon saying??.." she sneered, and I fluttered my eyes, gritting my teeth.

"Elf, you are the demon in this pack!" I was still in shock.

"Did you just call my Luna a demon?" I heard the scary voice of the alpha and my whole body stiffened in shock. I looked up and saw his deadly look.

"Oh, you heard it too. That's what she had been calling me when she knew she was the one who was a demon.." Elf whined and held his arm to her body.

"Dad, I saw it clearly. I saw it before I was taken away. She is evil!" I cried out and got him so enraged, he charged at me, and before I could see it coming, his heavy blow landed on my face, sending me sprawling on the floor...

More pain rushed in, making a loud shrill escape my lips.

"After your evil scheme is about to get disclosed, you chose my Luna to go down with you, right? Count yourself as a loser!" He growled and stomped away, not wanting to stay longer. Seeing me was a terror to him, and the fact that he was my father was his greatest pain. I could see it in his eyes.

He would keep wondering how he got a demon daughter like me. His single blow created a bump on my head. It was so painful that I couldn't get up from the floor.

I grunt in pain with both eyes shut.

"Was that painful? Then I think you should just die then. Take your life and be free from all this. Isn't that the best." Elf's voice sounded in my ear, and I opened my eyes slowly...

All I could see in front of me was a demon. She had disguised herself and used all sorts of magic to cover her demon scent and become my father's mate,

Just who would believe me that she isn't a mere wolf!!

"You will never succeed!" I spat, making her laugh scornfully.

"You are the demon. Say your mission. Maybe your father will forgive you and reduce your punishment; or else you will be tortured forever..." She laughed louder, shredding my heart with those words.

"I saw your true nature. I don't know how, but before I was struck, right there in the palace , my inner eyes saw who you were. Stop hiding it, stop pretending, why are you here in the silver moon pack!!" I screamed at her, and she arched her brow, peering into my eyes.

"What are you saying, you evil demon who kills her mother for more power?" I sat up from the cold floor as she spoke those words with a smirk.

"One day, everyone will know about this evil you kept hidden. You are the demon, and you made everyone believe I was. That sorcerer you recommended wants me dead. You both planned my death from the intense pain, but I'm sure you are shocked that I am alive..."

"You said you saw what?" She asked, still trying to understand my words.

"You must be a fool to think no one can see who you are  I swear, I would be the one to bring you down!" I threatened, and she burst into a loud laughter full of contempt.

"Hey little pup, I don't give a damn if you see through me. I'll tear you apart the very day you...."

Just then, the door opened, and she cut her words and pulled away.

We both turned to the door and it was her little kids.

"Let's go before she kills us like her mother.." Elf seethed, and the children scurried away screaming in fear...

It was just so painful.
