Chapter 1 - Her Brother Betrayal

- Eliana -

Have you ever felt like killing the most precious person of your life? That's what I felt right now. With silver iron shackles binding my hand, I was dragged like a pig waiting for its slaughter. 

When the door was open, the familiar face I wished to destroy with my claws was seen with his teeth showing under his smile. 

"Eliana," My brother said with his hand rubbing my back. "Please understand, I did this for our pack." 

I saw him with full of hatred glazing on my eyes. As the last alpha daughter, I did everything for him. When I recalled my parents last wish before their death, my mother was so anxious how my brother became the alpha when he was left alone at a young age. 

It was at the time when a sudden big avalanche came so hard destroying our village. Unfortunately, while the others were running out, my parents were busy helping the other members of the pack. 

I remember after all of that happened, I was grabbing my mother's hand with tears blurring my eyes. She looked at me with her desperate eyes, "Please, help Aibek become an Alpha." 

Just right after she said that, I felt her hand fleeing from my grab as she took her last breath.

I was crying so hard hugging my younger brother, Aibek. He was seven years younger than me. I was fifteen when all of the misery happened. 

Now, the eight years old boy, becoming an alpha on his eighteenth birthday. It was supposed to be my happy moment, that I was finally able to keep the alpha crown for my brother.

Aibek looked at me with pity, "You know, a fault face like you couldn't do anything for our pack. This is the last thing you can do for us, please understand me, my sister," He said, giving me a peck on my head.

I bit my tongue so hard that it bled. FIghting to keep the crown for ten years was not easy. There's also times when I had to make a deal with my uncle. Fifteen years old me, was facing a veteran wolf. I plead to him to take my brother into his care. 

He didn't have a child with his Luna, but surely had an illegitimate child outside. I had to make sure that my brother could inherit the Alpha title after my uncle. There's a law that illegitimate children couldn't inherit the alpha title, but no one knew the future. 

Then my dark days started. My first killing, it was so brutal that I had to be left alone inside my room. 

I did everything my uncle told me to. From killing, spying, and to seducing the other wolves. There's a night that I gratefully prayed to the Deity for not making my uncle let me sleep with the other wolf. It was the only time I was so thankful for his so-uncalled consideration.

The thin scar on my face was also the aftermath of fighting the other wolf. It was lined under my left eye. Sometimes, it still tingled when the cold winter breeze.

When my uncle died two weeks ago, nothing but happiness came into my mind. How could the times be so perfect, right before my brother was about to have his coming of age ceremony. 

But looked at what the ungrateful brat did right now. He literally sold me off as a slave "Aibek! I will kill you right now!" I was so angry that my body was shaking so hard. If only this silver chain was released, I could be on my wolf eating him alive.

He let out a slight laugh, "Sister, I know you are still in grief at the death of our beloved Uncle Gerald, but we have to do what we have to do. And bartering you as a slave will make our pack safe."

I'm not letting it happen! If I had to kill the entire pack, then I would. "Which pack are you selling me to?"

"Pack of the Alpha Geargo."

It was like a pin drop when he said that. I know the name. It was a name I would never forget. The name I wish I would never hear for the rest of my life. "Who bought me?"

"It's Keegan Geargo. The last son of Alpha Verick Geargo." 

So it was the other son. Yet, I wish it had never happened. 

"Bring her out from my pack, tell your master we had sealed the deal!" Aibek said that without batting an eye. 

He looked at me one last time, "You will be removed from our family name. No Mordue shall become a slave of another pack. Let your new master decide your last name."

The unfamiliar man was dragging me out. My emotions became numb for a moment. I did love my younger brother. That's why the hurt was piercing so deep in my heart.

As the night fell, I was brought inside the old goods carriage, with shackles still bound on my arms and feet. The weather was chilled with the night breeze. 

The moon was shining so bright. It's the first time in my life, i felt nothing but loneliness. My tears wet my cheeks. I litelay gave everything I had. Giving up my happiness for ten years turned out to be for nothing but a betrayal. 

Nonetheless, I would never give up. No man in any way could waver my determination. Only one person that I hope I never meet again. 

Conrad Geargo. The heir of the alpha title from Geargo pack. It was ten years ago. He must already be with his wife. 

Only me, a twenty five years old female wolf, who was forced to close her senses for discovering a mate. 

It was all Gerald's work. He and his witch wolf were holding a ceremony to close my senses. A wolf that decided to close their senses, usually the one who decided to give themselves to a moon goddess. But for me, as one of Gerald's valuable assets, he wouldn't let me find my fate just like that. He won't let any distraction overpass me.

Whatever. I didn't know what I would face after this long journey, but for sure, they couldn't just turn a ten years of me training as an assassin into a slave.

Watch me! The revenge would be so sweet that you wouldn't see it coming. Wait for me, Aibek!
