REBIRTH OF A RUTHLESS ANGEL

My diary was filled with birthday dreams. For days, i'd written down every detail of my perfect celebration. Now, as the evening arrived, i wondered: would it live up to my dreams?

After taking my bath, i went downstairs to wait for my ride, my darling Damien was coming to pick me up, but first, i wanted to review my notes one last time.

Upstairs, i sat on the plush stool, pulled out delicate floral diary with a golden lock and satin ribbon bookmark, and began to flip through its pages.

The soft pink and white hues evoked a sense of classic elegance and whimsy. As i turned the pages, memories of my childhood flooded back - i had owned this diary since i was five, and now, at twenty, i was reminiscing about the past, about the lovely moments I've shared with him. The scene made my belly warm with happiness.

As i flipped through the pages, i heard a knock on the door, i shrugged, closed the diary, storing it back in the drawer before leaving my room for the door.

Damien, my beloved alpha from the Blood Moon pack has arranged a private vehicle for me. The driver stood outside with an umbrella over his head, it was raining heavily that evening but nothing would stop me from the ceremony, it was my moment after all, a moment of where i finally share the affection with the person that i truly love.

I came back downstairs with a smile on my face and a big heart, i had wanted the Alpha to come pick me up instead– but what does it matter, i was going to meet him at the venue either way, " Damien, i have been having dreams of him lately, a foreshadowing of what our lives will be like, a place nourished in love and comfort ". As i opened the door, I was faced with a very unusual driver.

The driver's face was obscured by a tangled beard, his hair unkempt and tattered, A hint of smoke lingered around him, but his suit was surprisingly tailored. He never looked confident as he kept his eyes cast downward, his gaze hidden.

" Are you the driver? " I asked, my instincts weren't so pleased with what I was seeing, i stood back at the door waiting for an answer.

" Yes, I'm your driver " the man said, " I'm here to pick you up - Damian is waiting, he paid me to come pick you, so let's get going, shall we? ".

I was a bit hesitant but I nodded, as I had noticed driver's voice was a bit more decent than his appearance. The driver held the umbrella over my head and escorted me to take a seat in the car.

Once inside the vehicle, the journey began. It was meant to be a half an hour trip from my family's pack house to the big city where the ceremony was been held but it was taking even longer.

I had sat at the back of the car, not bothered at all as i kept to myself and the flourishing feeling that always left the smile on my chubby face. I leaned back, clicking endlessly on my phone. I was overwhelming in happiness, every few minutes i'd take pictures of myself , a reminder of what today was going to be and still continued texting but an hour passed and i still hasn't reached my destination yet. I looked through the tinted window and saw that the route the driver had driven along wasn't even remotely close to where the ceremony was been held.

Worried, I knocked on the partition glass separating me from the driver, and the glass slowly slides down, The driver shot a frustrated glance in the rearview mirror which I noticed wholesomely.

" Why aren't we there yet? " I asked politely, my voice laced with confidence and charisma " 'Why this road? You know it's going to take longer? " I said

The driver hissed as he slid the partition glass down.

I took a moment to digest what he just did as the car kept moving off course. I took my phone and dialed Damien's number but he wasn't picking up, what's going on?, has the event venue been changed and I didn't know?, why is the driver being so rude?

This was all i needed to be convinced that something was wrong. I got anxious and started to sweat, i knocked on the glass gingerly but got no response. In my dialama, my werewolf traits stepped in, my eyes glimmered yellow. I withdrew her hands from knocking, clenched it tightly and began slammed it against the door but each time i punched the door, runes glowed around the walls of the interior–binding runes were engraved on the walls to keep me intact and weaken my resolve, this wasn't right– why today, why me?, i started kicking at the door, maybe that would help but it didn't.

My eyes flashed with desperation as i tried more ways to escape. But the binding runes on the car's walls kept glowing with a fierce light, trapping me. My body began contort, transforming into a werewolf. I thrashed about, claws scraping against the windows with a deafening screech, shattering and splintering as they broke my claws, the pain sizzling through my veins.

My fur stood on end, touching the walls, only to be seared away in patches as my body slammed against the runes-etched walls, the acrid stench of burning hair filling the air as her furs are burnt off as i came in contact with the walls, I was starting to bleed, the pain was nerve-wrecking

And with a final, defeated whimper, i stumbled forward out of dizziness and collapsed, exhausted.

The driver never seemed to stop driving for almost another hour but after which I subconsciously felt a halt, the car had stopped. I could sense the driver come down and with the help of someone else they took me into a place I couldn't really pinpoint.

I was kept on the floor, chains used to restrain my hands and legs, buckling them to a spot. But, i could smell the dust fluttering and a strong fragrance that reminded me of someone i loved dearly, this moment caused me to breakdown in tears, I wasn't even aware of my surroundings but whatever it was, it was hurting.

" My Damien would be looking for me now, why me? "

The entire place was reeking from this smell. After a while I could hear someone ask if i was still sleeping, the driver replied, " She's been down for nearly two hours, but I think she's just exhausted rather than actually sleeping. She was out cold, but I'm sure she'll be okay once she gets here" .The man replied.

" Wake her up, we've got a score to settle ". The latter gasped as he walks over to where I was kept like a wet rag, naked and bruised.

I was still on her face when someone splashed me with a bucket of water, the chilling sensation made me gasp and the man yelled at me to get up, " You've got visitors ". I gently pulled myself up, exhausted and terrified, even my fingers were twitching.

My eyes were half-closed, my vision unstable but once i could make sense of what was happening, i saw two figures standing before me was Damien?, my Damien, and beside him was my twin sister, Everly.

"Welcome back, Glenira," Damien said, his voice dripping with malice. "I see you're feeling better."

My eyes widened as she lay in the scene before her. Everly, my twin sister wrapped her flirty hands around him, a smug smile spreading across her face as she cradled her pregnant belly. I looked at both of them and felt devastated, tears clouded my eyes, my tongue became numb as words felt heavy and inconsistent. I was breaking down in pain, I felt it all in all one, a sharp sensation to a headache pounded wickedly against my skull, stealing my voice.

"What's going on?" I asked, my voice shaking, my skin was all burnt from the incursion in the car but that didn't matter, what matters now was why Damien could watch me go through this pain and he stood there, smiling and entitled.

Everly chuckled. "Oh, Glenira. You're so naive. Damien and I have been lovers for months. We've been waiting for the perfect moment to get rid of you."

My eyes snapped to Damien, my heart shattering into a million pieces. "You lied to me," i whispered, " I loved you, why would you lie to me? ". The tears I've been holding back finally came, washing down my face.

Damien shrugged. "You were just a means to an end, Glenira. Everly is the one who truly holds my heart." He replied, at this point I still felt something for him, everything was just happening fast, Why can he say this things to me, he said he loved me not too long ago, why revoke those words?". I cried.

Everly's smile grew wider. "And soon, our child will be the heir to everything. You're in y past now, Glenira."

I felt like I had been punched in the gut. I stumbled backward, her eyes welling up with more tears. "How could you, Everly? You're my sister..."

Everly's expression turned cold. "Sister? You've always been the favored one, Glenira. It's time for me to take what's mine, so quite being a crybaby ".

Damien's words cut through the air like a knife. "Everly is my future, Glenira. You're just a memory." Me?, but I still love you?

I was left in shock as one of the men who had abducted me instinctively pulled a pistol, " Good bye Glenira, " said Damien as a loud bang follows and a silver bullet went through my head, exploding large chucks of my brain, killing me as i falls back, my blood, cold and in shock, splattered everywhere.

Before my eyes close, I could still see Damien smirk at my convulsing body, he felt pleased, same as his lover.

I felt every pain imaginable occur to me in that very moment, I felt my brain leaking, my nerves slowly giving way as my heart began to sink and slowly beat. After struggling to stay alive, i gave up and was left in the pool of my own blood.

Later that same night, My corpse will be dragged out of the tower and taken somewhere, a forest that has a river running through it. They then dropped the already decaying corpse into the cursed river of the blood moon. This was a sacred place steeped in blood of countless warriors of ancient conflicts.

Damien looked over my drowning corpse and said these words to the woman he had claimed to love " your death is a relief, I can finally stop pretending to care ". He dusted his hands and left with his men and that was how Glenira submerged but my story didn't end there, I wished it did but that was just the beginning
