Turning my head to look at the right, the forest ahead was so dark. That was when I realized, the crowd was standing four steps under the shed of these dense trees. Which was why, I couldn't feel the rain that much.

My eyes moved all over in terror. For the red eyes, for that mysterious voice. Yet I couldn't see anything.

I waited for the lightning to struck across the sky but even that didn't happen.

"I wonder if due to the rain, you aren't able to smell her scent properly." Pete said, nearly snarling.

Natalie whimpered while hugging Gilbert who was standing in a position that his right arm was facing the border.

Pete was scaring me by talking to the darkness. My hands raised as I absentmindedly stepped back in fear.

"Natalie, are you here?" Pete said loudly in mockery.

Gilbert was standing quiet as Natalie sobbed, "Yes. . . Br-Brother."

Lightening struck and I was staring at Pete. I could swear, he had bloodshot eyes and was holding an angry face.

"We don't have the whole night!" Pete growled frustratingly.

I staggered back as his Alpha tone shook the bones in me. Breathing hard, I glanced at Axel who was standing in between Clark and Yuri with his face displaying extreme fury.

"Very eager to send the female, Alpha Pete?"

Goosebumps risen on my skin, shrinking my face in extreme horror. My legs shook while heart had reached my mouth.

They were here! They were here!

I couldn't see anything. But the loud authoritative voice was itself a proof to the enchanting presence. It sounded so Godly and equally ghostly. The intimidation was reaching to all parts of my body. The rich accent was making it more scary by sounding as improper as I could imagine.

I shuddered hard.

Pete growled again. "All these unmated females standing at the back and my little sister there! Tell us the one who you have to take!"

My jaws ached as I gritted my teeth. A loud sob was on the way, I was shaking in silent sniffles.

Natalie sobbed loudly when the loud booming voice came, "Why so early, Alpha Pete? Won't ya ask for your own mate? At least her name?"

Gasps echoed all around, especially from the Lunas.

A scary loud laughter echoed.

Pete growled his teeth and the faint roaring sounded frightening.

"I have no mate," said Pete through clenched jaws while I couldn't dare look towards the border. "If you want the female, then this is the last chance! We are leaving within next thirty seconds. Point at her and she will walk to you! If thirty seconds pass, you get no female. Or maybe, there is no one, this year!"

Thunder rang across the sky, making me shudder.

The deep loud voice came, "Only true prayers come true, Alpha Pete. You truly wished to be like your founder and here you are, looking like him about to forward your hand towards us in begging."

Pete clenched his jaws. "Ten seconds passed," he said in a dangerously calm tone.

A loud laughter came followed by the two other ones. I blinked in fear as I realized that they were more than one.

"And ya still didn't ask for your mate? Then, must I send her to the moon already?"

Mom grabbed Pete's arms as he growled hard in sudden anger.

I moved back as someone ran from behind me and caught his arms to help Mom.

Lightening struck and my eyes caught Declan.

"Send your mother to the moon!" Pete growled loudly. "Who is the one you want? Fucking tell me!"

". . . Your mate. . ."

"I have no mate!" He growled again, sending shivers down my spine.

Declan was pushed back as Pete angrily pointed towards the front. He was gritting his teeth while warning, "This is the last time asking you? Is it my sister that you want?"

Axel howled in pain while Natalie sobbed loudly.

Horror struck everyone when the loud booming voice came, "Yes, she is."

Natalie let out a scream while I gasped in shock.

Mom fell on her knees, letting out a huge cry while Gilbert hugged Natalie tight to himself.

Axel growled and fought hard. "No! It can't be possible! I wasn't lying!" He cried so loud. "Alpha, I wasn't lying! She is mine! She is mine!"

The unmated females were all stunned while the Lunas had started weeping.

"No! No! No!" Mom cried.

Natalie looked up at her father's face. "Kill me, father. Please," she sobbed restlessly. "Please. Kill me."

Pete gave his parents all the time as Mom got up and walked towards Natalie. Gilbert's shoulders shook as I saw him hugging both Mom and Natalie.

"Mother, kill me. Please. You have birthed me. You know that I am not lying. I don't want to go!" Natalie cried on the top of her lungs.

A gasp escaped me absentmindedly as I sobbed in sorrow.

Axel punched the muddy ground while Yuri and Clark were hitting punches and kicks on him. I could hear the attacks of claws too whenever he tried to growl and more.

"Natalie! No!" He shouted. "You are my mate!"

"Enough, boy!" Luna Anne growled angrily. "Enough! Stop the nuisance! Enough of fooling her in your fake love!"

My jaws clenched while Pete was about to say the last words.

All of a sudden, the loud booming voice came. "We aren't talking about the youngest sister of yours, Alpha Pete."

A huge gust of wind passed through the forest. My whole gaze turned from Pete's face to towards the border. The gusts of wind moved along my face. My whole body shuddered as the lightening struck at the exact moment.

My eyes moved from the heads to the toes, shaking all of my body in terror.

Hairs wet and long until the shoulders. The beards were as reaching the chest. Blood red eyes were outlined by kohl. Eyebrows were as bushy as they could be. Pointed noises owning the anger and intimidation confidently. Pointed ears.

Chests were naked and painted. Two belts of thick leather were around the body from the shoulder down to the waist. A fur cloth was tied around the buttocks, showing their muscles thighs and painted legs. Barefoot.

There were three men that I could only see in such a blink. And I was able to observe only one in the middle. But I knew for sure, that they all were over six-three in height. They were huge by health. The very chest of theirs looked like wall.

A string of black beads was around the neck of the man in the middle that wasn't even visible because of the long beard. There were leather bands all tied around his wrist and the beads one at his forearms.

But the vibes, they were dominating all of the other thoughts. The man in the middle had a very dark aura.

"What do you mean?" Pete asked in a dangerously calm tone.

Everyone else had quietened. Axel's movements were halted while Natalie widened her eyes and let out a huge cry.

Mom and Gilbert had stopped breathing.

The lightening struck against the sky again and this time, those iconic red eyes met my horrified ones.

Stronger than the highest wave of a tsunami, the sudden panic made whole of my body tremble.

"It is her."

The voice as firm and loud as the thunder above.

Before I could even blink and breathe anymore, someone pushed me on the ground, making me let out a huge scream.

Raising my head, I saw Mom grabbing me by my hair and pulling me up to her chest. Before she could carry me up in her arms, Alpha Brexton came in our way.

I let out another scream when in the faint light, I saw his protruded big canines.

I couldn't understand what just happened.

Mom growled in warning while Uncle Robert attacked Alpha Brexton from the side, making him fall in the mud

Before Mom could take us back to the further ground, some one pulled my hair again. Someone else fell on Mom while Luna Anne dragged me by my hair.

I let out a huge scream. "What the fuck! Leave my—"

Gilbert bumped into the Luna hard, making her stagger away while pulling me up on his shoulder. He already started running back towards the ground while in slow motion, I raised my head to see the Alphas and Lunas surrounding Mom with their canines out.

Lightening struck again and I saw Natalie screaming for females of our pack to help. Axel got the newfound enthusiasm and attacked Yuri and Clark. Uncle Robert and Uncle Ryan were protecting Mom while she was attacking the Lunas whoever tried to run towards us.
.
Alpha Rudy controlled the angry Alpha Brexton while Alpha Alois and Leandre were attacking Pete who had started to fight back.

My ribs were hurting hard from Gilbert's running. He was going very fast and I could hear the wind and rain properly.

All of a sudden, Mom shifted into a wolf and ripped down the head of an unmated female who was trying to fight her.

My eyes widened at seeing the monstrosity.

Loud growls erupted from the Alphas and Lunas, shaking the whole ground.

"Mom's alone!" I cried in worry. "They are going together on her!" I screamed but Gilbert wasn't stopping.

"Stop! Fucking stop! Help Mom! Where the hell are you taking me! Why? What's happening!" I sobbed loudly.

Alphas Brexton was already running towards us.

Dread filled whole of my chest.

"Gilbert!" He laughed in extreme sarcasm. "Look back for once! Look at Natalie!"

Before I could even understand his words, my eyes moved to the far right and everything stopped for my sanity.

A loud scream escaped me when I saw Natalie in Ace's hold who was ready with his protruded canines and claws to rip her throat.

"Stop! Natalie's gonna die!" I sobbed loudly.

Thankfully, Gilbert stopped and turned around. Letting me slid down to stand on the ground, he stared at the notorious Alpha in front of us.

"You think that you can outrun us Alphas, Gilbert? Saving her would kill your mate and the daughter on this side of the borders. On the other, they will kill Pete's mate too." Alpha Brexton reminded with a raise of eyebrows.

Gilbert stiffened and pushed me behind his back gently while I peeked and gasped at the Alpha Leandre and Alphas Alois standing with blood in their eyes beside Alpha Brexton.

Luna Anne reached them and stood behind with Luna Lily of Northern Pack who was nearly glaring at us.

"Gilbert, no!" Uncle Robert yelled from the back and the sound of someone clawing him echoed inmediately.

"She's a human!" Gilbert said out loud in a desperate tone.

My eyes narrowed and widened.

Oh my. . .

Oh my . . .

I let out a huge scream on the top of lungs.

Gilbert kept me close to him by grabbing my elbow while looking at them. "This is impossible. They are just targeting Pete. They are bullying him!" He growled.

Alpha Leandre came walking swiftly towards the other two Alphas and stood in between. "Lycans always take the ones they know for sure, are meant to be theirs."

"Her werewolf genes must be weak," joked Luna Zara of Hidden Furs humorlessly while joining the party and glaring at us. "A bite might make them stronger enough to turn her."

"She is a human!" Gilbert growled while I shook terribly behind him.

My eyes burned in extreme shock as I couldn't understand what was and why was it happening. How was it even possible?

"Your ancestor was a human!" Luna Elsie said calmly. "Alpha Rucus' heir was a human. You all are made from a bitten wolf, Alpha Gilbert. A human is very well possible!"

Gilbert shook his head in determination. "If she has been my daughter, I would have given her with pride. But this human is not my blood!" He growled. "She is Malina's pup and a human! For which, she is my responsibility! She is not going there!"

"Don't upset the Moon Goddess," said Luna Anne while narrowing her eyes at us. "Together we can massacre whole of this pack, Gilbert. You don't want that on the cost of a not-so-precious human!"

My eyes moved more ahead to observe Beta Merric and Ukalis clawing on Mom's wolf who was trying to bite off their heads.

Axel and Pete were fighting Yuri and Clark in the background. Even the females of the other packs were fighting them in the sudden hatred that occurred for our pack.

"Moon Goddess will be upset if an innocent human will be given to those butchering monsters!" Gilbert spat angrily. "The pacts says that it is the wish of the host to guide the rules. My son will decide the happenings! You all can go fuck yourselves!"

"You are just being emotional, Gilbert." Alpha Brexton taunted. "I swear if it would have not been my Goddess Lucretia scaring us, I would have offered my Layla too. But they don't even ask for Layla. They ask for this human!"

My heart curled up in a little pea. How and why? I kept sobbing in shock. I couldn't even breathe.

"You all have lost your minds! She is a human! She has no fucking relations to any wolf!" Gilbert growled loudly.

"Don't behave reckless, Gilbert!" Luna Anne scolded like an older sister and fucked up bitch. "She has werewolf blood running through her veins. Of course, she can be mated to a Lycan. Moon Goddess chooses the fate. She chose her for tonight's ceremony. She is the important give away! You can't keep her apart from her mate! She will die of the pain!"

. . . And I had lost my sanity.

"What the fuck are you saying, you bitch of a Luna! I am a freaking human!" I screamed at their faces while standing beside Gilbert. "I have to return back to the city, meet my Gran, be a PhD holder and roam the world! I have no more time to listen to your barbaric shits! A fucking sex racket is going on! Are you guys bloody blind? You all are ready to handover innocent young girls to those stinky cavemen!"

My sobs echoed around while Luna Elsie's eyes softened while the rest were glaring at us. All the Alphas looked at Gilbert with warning on their faces.

Thunder rang loudly, bringing my gaze far towards Ace who was close to rip Natalie's throat. Axel had hurt Clark badly but he himself was being hit by Yuri knowingly to not trigger Ace. Pete was getting strangled by Beta Merric who was trying to hurt Mom's wolf.

"You have attended the Ceremony, pup. You know the value of mates. God has chosen a for a great Lycan," said Luna Elsie so politely as if we were drinking tea.

"Don't fuck with me!" I said calmly while showing her my angry teary eyes. "Your mate bond is all bullshit to me!"

All the Lunas gasped.

"Then, you won't mind us killing Natalie and your mother?" Alpha Brexton growled.

The common wolves of Southern Pack from the residential streets started arriving. They all stopped aside on the crowd in hundreds of numbers. Mother, father, children. All looking at their Alpha being surrounded by other Alphas.

I gasped silently.

"What are you showcasing to your own pack?" Alpha Leandre scolded. "Even Rudy was better than you when he sent his daughter Savina there! But you are being a pussy!"

Alpha Brexton laughed while sneering, "Your whole pack will be massacred and even then, this human will be on the other side. It's better that you give her already!"

I clutched Gilbert's arms tightly in terror as they all started stepping ahead.

Gilbert pulled me ahead to his chest, forwarding his hand towards them, showing them the palm.

Mom let out a faint howl of pain from the far. I couldn't even look that side to check if she was hurt.

"She is a human! Take Natalie! But the human, she is not a Rucussan!" Gilbert tried to reason with helplessness lacing his voice. He was brave and scared at the same time. Yet he was fighting fully. "The Lycans' had played with Pete even on the last full moon too. They are hating that Pete had a Lycan mate. This is just to hurt him, us. She is innocent."

I clutched to him on my life, sobbing hard in falseness.

"I give you my word. Exports will be raised. I will lower the rates. I will raise the exchange! I will transport the delights of city to your packs! Let her go!" Gilbert said roughly while still trying to sound intimidating. "She isn't taught the same way. She will die the first step in to their territory!"

Alpha Brexton laughed mockingly.

Alpha Alois looked like he pitied the situation.

Luna Elsie shook her head in emotion. "I understand your helplessness, Alpha Gilbert. But you don't need to be taught some rules to stay with a mate. The link between all of our packs is aside now when Misty is a female from the human world. We can't expect from her. But she will have to meet her mate, serve him and die with him. Otherwise, she will die earlier without finding him."

I laughed crazily in humorlessness. "Don't fucking kid me! You two faced bitches! Enough of this drama! Of this shit! With one cross of Jesus, you all gonna be digged down fifty inches under the ground. I have to call this one priest and the exorcism will make you learn! You wannabe witches!" I screamed angrily. "He literally served you luxury these three nights and you all are doing this to us. . . Mom!" I sobbed loudly.

Gilbert flared his nostrils while shaking his head. "She is not going to that side," he said calmly with determination.

"She is!" Luna Anne screamed angrily.

"On my corpse!" Gilbert growled. "On the dead bodies of all the pack members of Rucussa!"

My eyes widened in bewilderment.

Luna Anne was stunned and so was the other leaders.

"You want to kill my pack?" Gilbert asked through gritted teeth. "Kill! You dare take her away from me," he threatened darkly. "And your pack will be the next one as caged!"

Luna Elsie gasped.

"Do not dare threaten me, you all!" Gilbert warned angrily. The thunder rang loudly followed by the lightening strike. He sneered, "This is the land of Rucussa. The ground is rich in my ancestor's blood. Those overrated Lycans are doomed in their own territory and you all are just normal wolves!"

Alpha Brexton clenched his jaws while Alphas Alois exchanged an angry glance with Alpha Leandre.

"Then, you won't mind me rip Kate's swollen belly bloody open," said Luna Anne through clenched jaws while showing us her protruded claws. Her eyes glowing golden. "I must start from the little one."

Uncle Robert growled from the far.

Gilbert stiffened while I breathed angrily at the woman. "How can you say that! I hope, someone rips your wrinkly belly too! You frustrated pile of shit!"

Luna Anne smirked while walking sideways towards the street.

Gilbert let out an angry growl in warning. But we could do nothing. The rest of the leaders had surrounded us.

"Anne! Stop! Don't be a fool!" Uncle Rudy while walking towards us, his cheek was clawed and bleeding. "Pete is the host! He will take the decision! Gilbert you are his family. Its not even fair. But even then, we respect the rules! Misty is not a well-taught one. Which is why, we will make it fair by leaving everything on her brother's decision!"

"What do you mean? On his decision? No one can decide what I do, where I go?" I yelled loudly. "Send your own daughters! I do not belong here. I am a human! How can this even be possible!" I screamed, being flabbergasted. "I dont know shit about this world!"

My sobs quietened everyone for a minute. Even the fights at the background halted.

Alpha Rudy looked around the crowd of Southern Pack and nodded back at us. "Do you want your mother killed? Natalie? Look around and tell us yourself! Do you want a massacre to take place! Last
