Lily is a lone wolf who had spent a year living in the woods as a rogue after escaping from her park where she was bullied, maltreated and almost taken advantage of. One day, during a chase with a group of rogues, she ran and entered a territory, the crescent moon territory. Alpha Logan is known to be the most cruel, most feared and ruthless wolf in the country and one of the things he hated the most were rouges. When he realized that some rogues trespassed into his territory, he made them pay for it. But as fate would have it, he realized that his mate was Lily just as he was about to kill her. Would Alpha Logan accept Lily as his mate and Luna? Or would he kill her for being a rogue and trespassing on his territory.
Chapter 1 Running
"Run as fast as you can because if we catch you, you're coming with us." I heard one of the rogues sneer as he chased after me.
I ran as fast as my legs could but it felt like it wasn't enough. "They can't catch up with me. I can't escape my former life just to end up in the hands of rouges. I've been hiding pretty well for a year, hiding my scent. How did they find me?" I thought to myself.
"We can do whatever we want with her." Another one laughed out loud. "It feels so good to see a rogue that's a girl. I can smell she's not from any park. What a good find!"
"We're all rogues, we don't have to run from each other. You're just a lone wolf wandering around. Join us and you'll be safe." Another one chimed in.
I tried to block out their conversation as I ran faster. I tried so hard to change into my wolf, but it wasn't working. "Please, please. I need you!" I spoke to her mentally, but nothing happened. I felt sharp thorns cutting my face and legs, causing me pain. I could see a boundary ahead of me. It was a park's boundary.
Ever since I escaped from my park, I had two rules. The first was to avoid rouges at all costs and the second was not to trespass into another park's territory. It was like life was playing a joke on me. I had two choices. I stop, and the rogues catch me and do whatever they want to me, or I enter another park's territory and they probably kill me because I'm a rogue and a trespasser.
At this point, I'd do anything to avoid being in the hands of the filthy rouges chasing after me and the only way I could get them off my back was to enter the park's territory. I pushed myself and jumped into the boundary, collapsing on the floor, struggling to catch my breath. I was so weak and I just wanted to be over with the chase. But to my surprise, the rogues crossed the boundary with me.
"Are you all out of your mind? Do you know what you all just did?" I yelled out, frustrated and angry. "It is a crime to enter another park's territory, and you're playing with your lives". The three men cackled. "You think we would really let you go? If you decide to jump off a cliff, we'll jump after you. We've had our eyes on you for a very long long time and it's finally time to have you."
"The Alpha of this park is going to have our heads if you don't leave immediately." I replied, fear evident in my voice. The rogues weren't leaving without me but I'd rather die than go with them. One of them was about to speak when a loud, deafening growl filled the air, making me shiver.
We all looked around in confusion and fear and when I realized the rouges weren't watching, I quickly hid behind a tree but as unlucky as I have always been, I slipped, hit my head on a stone and passed out. I woke up to the sound of grunts and screams. A body landed by my side and I tried not to scream as I looked at the face. Half of it was ripped out and I could see claw marks on the chest.
I pushed myself up and hid behind the tree, hiding and watching what was happening. I recognised one of the rogues getting torn apart. "They were so dumb to follow me into the park's territory?Why were they so determined to catch me?" I muttered to myself.
"You think you could enter my park and go scott-free?" A cold voice sneered. "You made a wrong mistake setting your feet in here." It said as it held the neck of the rouge before twisting and removing it. I could see his wolf starting to come out, but he controlled it. Half of his face was still human but his hands had turned to claws. I looked away, scared. I just witnessed the death of someone in the most gory way. I clenched my fists together as I tried to stop myself from throwing up.
"I think we got them all, Alpha." Another voice said. I could tell the voices apart because the first sounded more powerful and it made sense, he was the Alpha. I leaned back on the tree, taking deep breaths, trying not to get noticed when a scent like no other filled my nose. It was a citrus and earthy scent. I felt my wolf stir inside me, something that had not happened in a very long time. I took in a deep breath again, the scent filling my nose, making me smile.
"Logan? Can you hear me? We killed all the rouges. We have to return back to the park for the meeting." "Wait. I can smell something."
Someone's out there. Alpha Logan said, sniffing. "You know how much I hate rogues. I will not leave until I kill the very last one." He growled out.
I could feel my heart beating fast, he could smell me. He knows I'm a rogue and he'll kill me just like he killed the others. I was scared. Thoughts of how he snapped one of the rogue's necks played in my head and I shook my head trying to push it away. If I should run, it won't take him seconds to catch me and finish me. "What should I do, moon goddess help me." I muttered.
"I know you're out there." The voice said, so deep and husky making me feel butterflies in my stomach. "By the count of three, if you don't come out, you'll regret it."
Fear got the better part of me and I stood up and ran as fast as I could in the opposite direction. I didn't want to die just like that. If I was going to die, I'd put up a fight.
