"Where are you taking me?" I whimpered as the huge wolf carried me on his shoulders. After a couple of minutes, he put me down. Before I could blink, the huge white wolf shifted before me. The man who now stood in its place was handsome, muscular... and completely naked. * * * Elaine Rutherford has spent her entire life wishing for an escape from her dysfunctional family. But when her wish is granted in the form of being offered up as a human sacrifice to an elite village of werewolves...it wasn't exactly what she had in mind. Every leap year, Stella's Soul receives a mortal woman from the neighbouring city of Moonburn, just beyond the wall, to bear children for the chosen werewolf. And it just so happens this year is a leap year. On the next full moon, Elaine is set to be married to the handsome werewolf billionaire, Tyler Jane Moonstorm. Despite her doubts, she still hopes that this will be a better life than she's used to. At least that's what she thought...

Chapter 1 Moonburn

I waited for my father and mother to cease fighting in the car.

We have arrived in Moonburn. Yet, we're still sitting in the car waiting for their argument to end. My sister's baby kept on crying and the sound of my brother's gaming tablet is very much a nuisance to my ears.

I often wished to be like Belle in Beauty and the Beast. At least, she can live peacefully in a castle full of books-never mind the talking dishes and whining furniture.

Finally, my father, who's in the driver's seat, unlocked the door and I went out immediately. I heard my sister's 'scolding' voice for the one thousandth time today, but I just ignored it, like I mostly do.

The neighborhood is calm and peaceful, probably because of the frigid weather or they just don't care about newly-moved folks.

A blonde woman, perhaps in her early forties, waved at me. Her house is just next to us. I smiled and waved back as well. She looks so happy and cheerful upon seeing us, upon seeing me.

But there's something odd about her actions. As soon as I waved back at her, her expression changed. The smile dropped from her previously kind face and she turned her back on me, going inside her house. I was a bit shocked. But for a person who's constantly being turned back by everyone, it didn't bother me that much.

"What the hell are you doing there, Elaine? Go inside and prepare our food!" My mother's thundering voice is the only one loud enough to echo in the silence of the neighborhood.

I glared at her, silently willing her to lower her voice. But, she just rolled her eyes and tried to throw her slippers at me.

I quickly dodged; I'm a pretty good dodger. My family is very chaotic as you can see. Each has their own business and only pays attention to you if they need something.

My younger sister gave birth when she was sixteen. I am eighteen, and yet jobless-again.

I left my friends and job in Maine to be with my family. At least they are a family in some ways. Despite their cruel treatment of me, my mother is still my mother and my father is still my father nonetheless.

I didn't go to college as my parents wouldn't allow me, even though I told them that I'm going to use my own money. My mom told me that instead of spending my money on college, I should give it to them so that I will be at least 'of use' to this family.

"We have raised you for more than a decade. Don't tell me you're not going to pay us back all the money we've spent on you since I gave birth until you graduated in Senior High School!" That was my mother's words every time I mentioned that topic.

And every time she finishes blurting out those words, she always ends it with an attempted slap on my face that I always managed to avoid. As I said, I am pretty much a professional dodger of slaps and things thrown at me. I think if I were Belle from Beauty and the Beast, I would not think twice about going to Beast's huge castle if I have a family like this.

I wandered through the house, exploring my new surroundings on the way to the kitchen. The wallpapers are still intact, no hint of beastly scratches and blood stains. The house wasn't as creepy as I was suspecting. I guess my family is much more hideous then.

The real estate agent told us that the only daughter of the previous couple was abducted on the night of a leap year. And thus, they left-abandoned-this city and went into another city to start a new life.

It sounds like one of those unsolved cases and disappearing people that I used to watch on Buzzfeed. I am an avid fan of the paranormal and supernatural. That's why I am overly happy that the house we are now living in has some supernatural, mystery case connected to it. Especially since it's a leap year tonight, February 29, 2020.

I'm gonna prepare my journal for this year's chilling phenomena. Like the one I caught in my camera last year where I saw the image of a floating lady before my eyes-and I managed to capture it.

"Elaine! Where the heck is our food?!" my sister yelled at me. The four of them were just casually sitting in the living room, watching Netflix on the television that came with the house.

"Coming!" I answered back like how a housekeeper responds to her employer. I better be a housekeeper of this family if this is how they treat me. At least I'll have a monthly salary if I am their housemaid. To be frank, I'd rather be abducted by an alien at midnight or transported to a faery realm rather than continually living with those four huge pigs that call themselves my brother, father, mother, and sister.

I carried a food tray with plates of fruits and vegetables and a bit of meat that were paid for with my last month's salary before I resigned. I used to work as a waitress at a diner in Maine. Well, to tell you honestly, I once even had a brief relationship with my boss before I found out that he only used me-and has been actually married for five years.

I sighed and slowly laid the food on the table before them. Before I could even yield a step back to the kitchen, a dozen people barged in into our house.

Two words could describe my face: utterly flabbergasted. The lady that waved at me earlier was one of a dozen people.

"What the shit is going on?!" My father demanded.

"Who's the eldest female child?" The man carrying a white dress on his shoulder asked.

I frowned. My brows knitted, confusion was visible in my face. So does my family.

My brother, who was still clinging to his gaming tablet, pointed at me. All eyes in the room were fixed on me. The lady from earlier stepped forward.

"Then our sacrifice to the White Wolf is now settled." She spoke more to the people with her rather than to us.

"I'm sorry, what?" I breathed.

"You'll come with us. Bring only yourself. And nothing more," she added.

I tried to protest but the man holding the white dress shouted in anger. "Come with us now before the sun sets!"

My family just looked at me. I was expecting them to stop these people. But my mom just stood and said, "Go. Go with them Elaine. Before they kill us!"

I'm done with them. Even in this last minute, all they think is about themselves. All they care about is their safety. They didn't even stop me or grab me by the hand. The people I called family didn't even fight for me, beckoned me to stay with them. They just handed me to these people that, in the devil's name, we don't even know who they are.

What if they're a cult? A coven of witches? What do they mean by 'sacrificed to the white wolf'? Does that even exist until the twenty-first century? A bunch of thoughts were flooding my mind.

I know that my family is scared of them as these people are holding a rifle, an axe, a rake, and even a rope. Am I some sort of animal to be butchered?

Nevertheless, my family remained silent even as I slowly walked towards the people. This place that we recently moved in minutes ago is definitely odd and creepy and something's fishy. They handed me to them as some sort of bread to be given to the beggars.

A tear slid down from my face but my sister just rolled her eyes, my brother returned to his gaming tablet, my mother's face was just blank, and my father...he hoisted his hand and waved goodbye at me. I blinked, but he immediately averted his gaze and grabbed a newspaper.

They knew. They probably knew this was going to happen. All four of them. And I am the only one who's oblivious to this.

As soon as I left the house, I felt light-hearted. It's as if I am ready to greet death as being this people's sacrifice. I felt relieved by being freed from my family's chain.

At long last, I, Elaine Rutherford, who is now lying on top of a stone table in the middle of a grassy field, can now rest peacefully in this white dress that the man forced me to wear.

Until I saw a huge white wolf approaching me amidst the night of February 29th.

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

Nicole had entered marriage with Walter, a man who never returned her feelings, bound to him through an arrangement made by their families rather than by choice. Even so, she had held onto the quiet belief that time might soften his heart and that one day he would learn to love her. However, that day never came. Instead, he treated her with constant contempt, tearing her down with cruel words and dismissing her as fat and manipulative whenever it suited him. After two years of a cold and distant marriage, Walter demanded a divorce, delivering his decision in the most degrading manner he could manage. Stripped of her dignity and exhausted by the humiliation, Nicole agreed to her friend Brenda's plan to make him see what he had lost. The idea was simple but daring. She would use another man to prove that the woman Walter had mocked and insulted could still be desired by someone else. All they had to do was hire a gigolo. Patrick had endured one romantic disappointment after another. Every woman he had been involved with had been drawn not to him, but to his wealth. As one of the heirs to a powerful and influential family, he had long accepted that this pattern was almost unavoidable. What Patrick wanted was far more difficult to find. He longed to fall in love with a woman who cared for him as a person, not for the name he carried or the fortune attached to it. One night, while he was at a bar, an attractive stranger approached him. Because of his appearance and composed demeanor, she mistook him for a gigolo. She made an unconventional proposal, one that immediately caught his interest and proved impossible for him to refuse.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."
