With you here
The woman was laughing when suddenly, she stopped, “Wait, have you seen the woman I was holding?”
All of them paused, sniffing the air.
“Wait, she’s gone.”
Suddenly, I could see a shadow from afar, and my aunt growling at them. Suddenly, she shifted into her wolf and attacked the three. I was dropped to the ground, and I watched, for the first time my aunt fighting off as if she were a wolf.
This was enough evidence for me to believe that she is indeed a werewolf.
“Ah!”
“Shi*t!”
“Damn this!”
I stood there, gawking as my aunt one by one tore them by the limb, the three of them struggled, and when my aunt was done with them, she then walked to me, sniffing me.
She was still growling, and I tried to look into her eyes, to tell her that it was enough and I was her niece. But then I could feel her not herself as she tried to bite me. I stood up and ran, trying to hide from her.
I then went to a tree and closed my eyes, adrenaline was the only thing pumping me. and I swear, I almost gave up right there and then when I remembered to do something when I am in need.
I instantly grabbed a knife from my pants and grazed my hand with me, enough to draw blood. I hissed at the pain, and I waited for something to come.
My aunt was getting near to finding me, and I knew that since she was not in her sense, she would kill me.
I guess this is the last night I have.
I closed my eyes, accepting my dear fate when suddenly, I felt my hands feeling hot. I could feel my hand burning, and I pushed it to the trees and I watched as the trees fell. In no time, there was smoke, and the fire had spread around.
I could feel my aunt attacking me when I pushed my burning hand to her and heard how my aunt groaned and yelled in pain, her fur covered in fire.
My mouth fell open at the sight, looking at both my palms filled with the smoke, and my eyes dragging down and I dropped to the ground.
With my eyes closed, a cold wind brushed past me, followed by someone carrying me bridal style. I couldn’t see anything but I could only hear how his deep voice echoed in my mind, “I’m sorry that I am late.”

Warm hands grabbed my cold one as I woke up to the sun glistening on my face.
“You’re finally up.” said the familiar deep voice of no other than Alpha Ace. His same dark brown eyes gazed upon me, and I wanted to sit upright but couldn’t.
“Don’t be hard on your body.” He said, pointing at the bandages on my hand.
“W-what happened?” I managed to croak out. I could still feel a stinging pain in my palms and I stared at it, memories flashing in my mind.
How I was finally able to escape with my aunt with Beta Mark’s help. How we were attacked by the wild werewolves who call themselves Red Crows, my aunt shifting into her wolf, and how she protected me but almost killed me. And the next thing I know there was a blazing fire around me and my aunt.
He gave me a glass of water and helped me drink it.
“What are you thinking?” Alpha Ace was staring at me and he seemed to be hearing my mind but then he frowned, “Are you blocking your thoughts from me?”
I blinked, “What no?” I don’t even feel like I’m awake enough to be even talking to him now…I still feel overwhelmed and my body seemed like it was trampled over by the truck.
He nodded, “That’s weird….weird how I wasn’t able to hear your thoughts or mind linked you last night when Mark decided to help you escape here…well, I already punished Mark..he’s in the dungeons now.”
I paused at that, forgetting that part, and read his expression. He looked expressionless now, which seems worse because I felt like he’s been keeping himself from getting angry.
Instead of being angry, he looked… disappointed.
“Tell me…I did everything to make you comfortable here, but it seems that it was not good enough for you to plot behind my back.” He sighed. “If you hate me, fine. Leave. And don’t ever come back.”
“I am a human. This is not my place, Ace.”
“You are my mate, and you have to stay with me. How many times do I have to tell you that?” He said, “And did you remember what happened before you blacked out? You produced fire, Kira. I believe that no ‘normal human being’ can do that.”
“No. It wasn’t me.”
“then who? Don’t tell me the trees created those fires themselves. You burned the whole forest, Kira.”
He was glaring at me, “You need to be punished, you know that?”
I sighed, nodding and accepting my fate. “Go ahead. I’ll be dead anyway.”

The kind of punishment I was expecting was far from what he was doing.
I thought he would hang me, drown me, or electrocute me just as I could see in the movies but instead, he was all over me as he placed me on the bed in his room.
I wondered why I was back in this same room again, that time when we first did it felt like it was only yesterday and now I am back….again…
Not for him to mate with…but for him to “punish me”.
I was not aware this was his way of punishing me.
He was throwing off his clothes all over the floor and when we were both naked, I told him “Uh wait a minute. Is this your punishment?”
“Why? Were you expecting another thing?”
I nodded, ‘This is a form of punishment, Ace.”
“Oh, what you want as a punishment then? Tell me.”
I just shut up, as he smirked, “Good girl.”
