"Tonight, we'll finish the Labonaire clan!"
It was a night of full moon.
The Alpha of Nolan Pack howled at the top of the hill, following his whole pack of over 20 werewolves, getting ready for the war.
More howls responding to the Alpha, the Nolan pack was filled with morale for battle and kill.
The glittering blue eyes were shining through the woods. The Royalty Nolan Pack, the flashing speed running werewolves, best known with their incredible predator skills, soon they wiped out the whole Labonaire pack.
Then the Alpha Michael Nolan heard the baby crying, he knew he had missed one wolf.
Alpha Michael ordered to go quietly, he needed to follow the sound of baby's crying and track her down.
Joseline was holding her baby, running in the woods, covered in blood and rags.
She got tripped, leg was wounded and bleeding, crawling on the floor and patted her crying little baby in arms, "Shsh--baby, mommy's here!"
Joseline knew she couldn't run anymore, she gave her baby to her sister Emily in tears,.
"Take Andrea, run!"
"No, what about you? Andrea needs her mother!"
"Michael is coming, now go!"
Joseline was a powerful witch, she cheated on her husband Michael and had Andrea with another Alpha, now Michael was coming after her. She wanted Emily to run with her baby, but they were caught before Emily could get away.
"Got you!" Michael gripped Joseline. Soon Joseline, her baby and Emily were under siege of Michael's pack.
Michael looked at the baby in Emily's arms, and walked close to her, reached his wolf claws to Andrea. His claws dripped with blood he just shed, so as his ferocious face.
Joseline yelled and stuck her hand out, "No!"
A strong wind bounced Michael off of her.
Then Joseline borrowed from the moon's power, a huge vortex showed up, all tree leaves on the ground were blowing, the moonlight shone through the core of vortex and lightened up the whole sky--she was crafting a spell to send Emily and her baby away.
The wolf pack all covered their eyes, the strong moonlight seemed to have hurt their eyes,
"Take care of Andrea!"
"No, Josey!"
The vortex disappeared, and so did Emily and the baby. Joseline smiled with tears crawling on her face.
Michael opened his eyes, saw the baby was gone, quickly picked Joseline up off the ground, pinned her against a tree, and choked her.
"What did you do!" Michael glared at Joseline with his glowing blue eyes, the furious face with killing desire made her shiver.
"Look at you, an Alpha and a king, how does it feel when you finally have someone out of your control?" Joseline looked down at him with a face full of obvious disdain and smirk.
"I loved you, we could have a happy family, why? Is it not enough, the love I gave you?" Michael's face was filled with sorrow and fury along with tears gleaming in his eyes. Being an Alpha and all, yet still couldn't keep what he held most dear. Betrayal was indeed the most lethal weapon to a man.
"Because I never...ever loved you." Joseline tried to get some air from the suffocating choke by Michael, turned her eyes away and squeezed her words out ruthlessly, cold blood.
Michael showed his wolf face with tears, choked Joseline's neck harder until her face turned purple, he then opened his wolf mouth, showed his long bloody fangs and bit Joseline, on her neck, really hard.
Seeing Joseline in a coma and nasty bloody bite on her neck, Michael left with his pack to track down the baby.
"Stop! The scent is gone...the wolf scent. Cunning witch b*tch."
"What do we do, Alpha?"
"I'd say search the houses around, she possibly hides in someone's house." another Beta said.
"No, we can't risk meeting the hunters. We're done here." Michael gave the order to fall back, as much as he would love to track down the baby and kill her, he couldn't risk his whole pack for his own revenge.
Emily was running out of breath and felt relieved finally didn't hear the pack's howling. She looked at the sleeping baby in her arms,
"Baby girl, guess your mother cloaked your wolf mark."
Then she passed out in front of the first house she saw,
"Help, help!"
A human couple came out and took them in.
......
16 years later, it was a hot summer night.
At the Kenner's house,
Andrea lying down on her bed, white T-shirt, pink shorts, beautiful green eyes staring at the ceiling, holding her teddy bear, beautiful light brown curly hair scattering on the pillow, looking quite contemplative.
She closed her eyes and put her hand on forehead, the words her ex had told her during their breakup kept flashing back to her mind.
"Seriously, Andrea? Everyone's having sex, you really think that you can still be a virgin after you dated a guy?"
"Yes, I do. You said you love me right? And that you wouldn't push me into it."
"Wake up, Andrea. I never loved you. I made a bet, sleep more virgins, and I win. You, are just one of them."
Tears welled up from Andrea's eyes and she soon covered her head with a pillow, she thought she needed to stop thinking about the breakup, that was too much.
So she slammed the door, wanted to go out and get some air.
"Andrea, honey, don't go too far."
"Yes, mom! I'll be right back!" Andrea got on her bicycle, put on her earphones for music, full of frustration on her face. She could feel the wind.
"Yes, a little bit wind please, so I can forget about Caleb. All the feelings and intimacies were only some freaking sex prank? To sleep more virgins? And since when f*cking more virgins became some sort of glory for a guy? Disgusting! He's a jerk and not worth my tears. Everything is gonna be fine, yes, it has to be..."
She told herself she could be strong about it, but thinking of the nasty breakup, she still couldn't help but feel the pain of being dumped.
She stopped her bicycle by the road and walked to the woods, maybe just to feel some quiet and fresh air where she needn't have to hear people's gossip, no school, no Caleb, no mom's worried look, no phone calls, she just wanted to be alone for a moment.
After she felt a little better, she started going back home, but got tripped suddenly, she turned around and saw a wounded dog lying under the tree in the shadow.
She stood up, walked closer to it, squatted down,
"Hello?" She looked at the dog, which was not even opening its eyes.
Andrea felt it's gonna die and finally saw the reason, its abdominal belly got shot and was bleeding.
She stroked its brown fur and said with her sweet voice, "Oh you poor little thing, were you abandoned just like me?"
Hearing its weak breath, Andrea felt some connection to this wounded dog, as if she saw the wounded and broken heart of herself. Bleeding after being abandoned.
So she took it back home, quietly snuck into the basement under her house.
She took out the kit, used the knife and pincer, got the bullet out of its belly. Then applied some herbs on the wound. The way she did it, was just like a senior vet.
She tiptoed back to her bedroom holding it in her arms. Put it on the floor and about to take her shower. The dog, actually it was a wolf, managed to half-open his eyes and saw a young girl, but he was too weak to see her face, so he only remembered her smell.
"Andrea, are you back? I thought I heard you." Andrea heard her mom's voice coming closer.
Andrea came to open her door with her panicked face and only stuck her head out,
"Yes, mom! I'm super naked and gotta take a shower now." She couldn't let her mom see that she got an animal in her room, they hated her doing that.
"Your dad is gonna be late tonight, so I'll drive you to school tomorrow before I head to the office, all right?"
"Okay, mom! Good night!"
Andrea finally got to close the door, took a deep breath that she passed the so close 'death sentence'.
After a shower, she climbed onto her bed, looking at the dog finally caught up with its breath and sleeping soundly, Andrea smiled and turned off light. The full moon outside her window looked so beautiful, shone her little cute face and pouty smiled lips.
"And you too, good night, little poor thing."
Next morning,
Andrea's head and arms moved a little, felt something big and warm was aside her, much firmer than her pillow.
She woke up with her eyes half open, took a turn and seemed to have seen a charming male figure vaguely shining under the sunshine.
"Cast off a scumbag man, pay me back a Mr. Stunner? Hum, not bad...the deal is." She thought she was still in her dream. It's a dream, then it's not guilty. Andrea closed her eyes again to enjoy some more minutes of this sensual lazy time.
She naturally put her hand on his body, his chest, his tummy, she pulled herself closer to him feeling his sexy abs and hot temperature, it felt so good. Oh, so that's what it feels like to hold and sleep with a man?
Then her hand up to his face, eyes, nose, lips, jaw. Again, back down forward to his bare strong chest and tight abdominal muscle. She curiously touched every line and angle of this good-looking man. Every hair of him was felt so real. Um, damn sexy man.
Wait, he was breathing?
She started to feel a little odd, it felt too real to the touch!
Andrea slowly widened her eyes,
"Holy crap! I'm not dreaming!"
Andrea sat up and saw there was indeed a man lying beside her.
Lazy curves of his brown hair, thick eyebrows extended to his temples, exquisitely chiseled nose bridge, sexy lips, perfect jawline--such an unparalleled beauty Andrea had ever seen.
His muscles on chest and arms, and crazy hot abs, his skin emitted the healthy wheat-colored light, and his...oh lord, wait, he's naked? And she was holding and touching his... Geez!
Where did this handsome come from?
"Hang on, where's the wounded dog I saved last night? God, the dog turned into a super hot naked guy?"
