Chapter 1 I am Ariel Harvey
My name is Ariel Harvey, a member of the blood moon pack. This is how humanity first learned of our presence. All you have to do is listen and accurately convey what I reveal to you. I am counting on you to spread the word that we are not malicious like vampires who are out for human blood and to populate their coven with a initiated humans. There is a war coming but first I must tell you how it all began.
Welcome to Dotingharm, a place where humans share a whole lot in common with vampires and werewolves. Whitewood is an island in Dotingharm, from here you get to Winsburg which happens to be the capital city of Dotingharm. I have always wanted to see what lies beyond this island, I wish to get to Winsburg but not this broken.
An uproar steals the peace of Whitewood when four gamma wolves pulled my mother out in chains to be executed for poisoning the alpha.
I forced myself through the crowd to get to Susan before she gives the order to behead my mom.
"Let go of me!" I yelled as a stranger's hands pulled me back I could not resist "There is nothing you can do, Ariel. If you are seen, they are going to kill you too!" Then I noticed the silence. I looked over and watched as my mother's head rolled on the ground accompanied by blood spills, followed by echoes of the Luna's voice,
"This is what happens to traitors, the penalty for betraying the pack. I want all members of the Harvey family dead. Find every last one of them!"
My eyes pooled with tears as I witnessed the death of my mom. My dad was stabbed not too long by members of the pack after being accused of conspiring to kill the alpha. Cersei Riva who has been against my relationship with my boyfriend stood by Susan with a smile on her face as she watched my mom die. I knew I was next.
"Come with me or they are going to kill you the minute you're found." the stranger said.
"Who are you?"
"I am Gregory, a close friend of your dad. Come, there's no time." I followed him immediately, grieved and filled with a desire for revenge. My eyes swam in tears as we came few blocks away from the royal castle. "Listen to me Ariel, you must get away from Whitewood as far as you can. The Walters are going to kill you if they find out you are alive."
"I heard her say so." I mumbled.
"Good. You can never trust anyone here."
"I can rely on Salvador. He's my boyfriend." I replied immediately.
"Not even Salvador! Loving him will ruin your life, you have to stay alive for the sake of the family you have left." He said while cutting my hair short with a scissors.
"You talk like my late father." I muttered with sobs.
"Maybe I do. Get up now. Your younger brother is also dead. The only family you have now is your elder brother in Winsburg whom I believe is not really your brother "
"What do you mean? Tyrell is my biological brother, is he not?"
"I am afraid I can't answer that. Long story. Let's go." He said grabbing my arm softly. My grief was mixed with confusion instantly, though we never had Tyrell spend his lifetime with us as teenagers but I know him to be my brother.
"But you know my dad was innocent. You know the beta had no hand in poisoning the alpha."
"Your father's loyalty can not be questioned but from what I see, the leadership of blood moon pack has been corrupted. I believe Luna Susan has a hand in the Alpha's death. Tyrell is in Winsburgs end, you have to get there. Make it to blackwater before nightfall and sail to Winsburg."
"Thanks Gregory."
"You don't have to thank me. I should have followed you but it's too risky for me. Please stay alive. Now go." He ordered in a way that made me run.
My heart grew with sorrow and was troubled for also leaving Salvador even if he was Susan's son. I should have left whitewood before now but I returned because I was pregnant shortly after I went missing. While I kept running, my stomach began to hurt because of the baby in my womb whose father I know not. No time to worry about that for now,
"Take me to blackwater. Please drive carefully, I am pregnant." I said politely to the driver who stopped at my wave. He drove off immediately and after two checkpoints to go, the third one became a problem.
"Turn around sir. We've just received an order not to allow any car to leave Whitewood." The policeman commanded.
"Please let us through. She is pregnant."
"I am Ariel Harvey. I need to get to blackwater." I added.
"You are the Harvey we have been looking for!" His face contorted. I quickly turned to the driver and in my eyes were screams asking for help. He drove off without waiting to hear a word from me. The officer fired several rounds at us before the driver could get away. About a mile out, I felt an unbearable pain in my left arm only to notice I've been shot. Here my world became a living hell. I could only think of being in a moving car until not long before I noticed we were being chased. I heard cars horning but I couldn't tell how close they were to us because of the pain I was feeling. "Please don't let them take me." I cried without letting go of my bleeding arm.
While waiting to hear a word from the driver, another vehicle collided with ours from the left side of a T-junction.
My head ached at first, then a whistling sound followed by massive gunfires. My vision was still blurry when someone opened the car door.
"Give me your hands, you have to get out of the car now!" I knew it wasn't the driver. Relentlessly I suppressed my arm while trying to regain consciousness. Then I realized the driver was dead already having his head on the steering wheel. The shattered glasses, and smoking bumper left me no choice than to go with the stranger who was trying to pull me out.
My stomach was hurting real bad, coupled with the pain in my arm and I felt the baby in my womb kicking as I was carried by the young man into his car. He drove off immediately and I soon realized that we were no longer being chased. "please I am heading to blackwater. My life is in your hands, do not let them get to me. I am Ariel." I muttered with tears running down my eyes, my sweat was thick as blood, I was dying of taste, my lungs were almost void of air and the pain I felt grew more severe. I was already losing so much blood, I fainted upon hearing him say "I know who you are. Hang on."
