Synopsis

"she was chosen because she was his right from the very beginning..." Once on a rare occasion, the night of a blue full moon, a girl is being taken from a household to serve the beasts who call themselves werewolves. The werwolves were the one who ruled the town and controlled everything. They looked human but buried under their human facade was a ruthless monster who seeks to destroy. Everyone tried to protect themselves but deep down they knew they were no match for the werewolves. Arianne was a little girl who was born different from other people in the town. She had long red hair and she was born with different coloured eyes. One green and one brown. No one knew exactly why she was born that way and it wasn't hereditary. Her mother also died during her child birth and because of that her father, Massimo distanced himself from her and chose to remarry instead. He married a woman called Christine who already had a child out of wedlock, Rissa. Together Rissa and Christine decided to make Arianne's life hell to which her father turned a blind eye to and because of that, it affected Arianne and she decided to withdraw herself from her family and the society. The day of the selection came and Rissa was selected to go and serve the werewolves. Scared for her life, Rissa decided to persuade her mother to convince Massimo to offer Arianne up for the selection. Ignoring her screaming pleas and tears, Massimo offered up Arianne to go and serve the werewolves. No one really knows what happens to the girls that are being selected and no one bothered to ask. Not knowing the fate that awaits her, Arianne decided to go and serve the werewolf who they call Ivan Giovanni, a alpha who is known for his ruthlessness. Can Arianne survive living among werewolves? What happens when she finds out more about her identity and the only person who could help her was Ivan? What do you think will happen if she finds out that Ivan was the boy she had saved all those years ago from dying? NOTE: I DO NOT OWN THE COVER IMAGE OF THIS BOOK. IMAGE WAS FOUND ON PINTEREST.

Chapter 1THE BEGINNING

ARIANNE (Age 8, 13 years ago)

The wind howled gently against our window as I sat still by the fire place while Rissa, my step sister played with her dolls. Our nanny, Cruzita, a middle aged woman in her forties sat on the rocking chair with a knitting kit on her lap.

"I'm bored" Rissa suddenly announced throwing her doll on the floor.

"You can play with any of your toys" Cruzita said without looking up from her kit.

Rissa let out an exasperated sigh, "I'm telling you I'm bored because I don't want to play with them."

"Then play with Arianne" Cruzita calmly suggested.

I froze at the mention of my name. I looked up to stare at Rissa and Cruzita through the curtain of my hair.

"Arianne, you've been reading that book for long, come now" Cruzita cooed at me, "Come sit beside Rissa."

I closed my book and hugged it close to my chest. I then stood up and gently walked towards where Rissa was sitting. Her face contorts in a way that made it seem as if she tasted something sour as I sat next to her. Rissa didn't like me and she doesn't hide it. Ever since her mother, Christine, married my father, the both of them automatically deemed I was threat and maltreated me when my dad wasn't looking of course.

They made sure I never got anything of good quality whereas Rissa got the best of everything. My clothes was always second graded and always slightly bigger. Sometimes, when it's washed, the threads start to fall apart which made me get very good at sewing.

When Rissa arrived, I had to give up my room for her. Dad had asked me to switch with her because he wanted her to be more comfortable, which is why my room was at the visitor's room which wasn't anything much. The only thing that I still got was food and that was the most important of all.

"Hey" Rissa's voice startled me because I'm actually surprised she could talk to me, "What are you reading this time freak? Dark arts?" She sneered at me and Cruzita gasped.

"Apologize to your sister now" Cruzita orders, but I know better than to expect an apology from Rissa because she was right, I was a freak.

The thing is, I was born a little different. I was born with a red hair that had white steaks at the side. No one could really explain the hair, it wasn't hereditary too and it didn't help I was the only one in town with red hair. For some reason, I just had that kind of hair.

Another different thing were my eyes, one was light brown and the other was green, I couldn't explain that either. The only thing I've been told I inherited from my mother were the dust of freckles on my nose.

Everyone teased me because of how I looked and people around town called me a Strega, a witch. Others seemed to think I was a bastard, even some of my dad's family member, it didn't matter that the every tests claimed I had my father's blood running in my veins.

"Sorry" Rissa apologized but it was more to her dolls than me, I didn't care though.

I was about to continue reading when the door burst open allowing the cold in. My dad stood at the doorway dressed in his heavy woolen coat that had bits of snowflakes on it.

"Daddy" Rissa screamed as she ran towards my dad who bundled her in his arms.

"How's my little girl doing?" His little girl, not me, even though Rissa is two years older than I am. But I still smiled from where I was sitting.

"Oh hey Ari, you are still up I see?" Dad said still carrying Rissa whose face was buried in his neck.

I nodded my head at him, "Yes papa."

"Guess we should tuck you both in" My dad said.

Rissa nodded her head in agreement, her blond curls bouncing up and down as she did so, "Read me a bed time story papa."

"Of course anything for my princess" Dad cooed at Rissa.

"Wave goodbye to Cruzita and Ari" He said as he carried Rissa up the stairs to her room.

Rissa waved goodbye to Cruzita and me, but with a look of triumph on her face. I kept my head down till I could hear the chatter between her and my father from the hallways. I bent down to pick the dolls Rissa played with and cleared them from the floor and when I was done, I picked up my book holding it close to me.

I heard Cruzita let out a sigh as I climbed up the stairs, "Want me to read you a book before you fall asleep?"

"No thanks," I shook my head at her, "Think I've already read enough book for tonight."

I knew she was only saying it out of pity for me, pity because of my father who fails to always see me and instead places his focus on Rissa who had him wrapped around her little finger ever since she moved in with her mother.

"Fine, how about I tell you a story then?" Cruzita offered and I turned to look at her a big smile on my face which made her let out a chuckle, "I see you'd like that?"

I nodded my head eagerly at that while she smiled, "Alright now let's get you to bed" Cruzita says as she heaves herself from the rocking chair and held my hand. Together we walked upstairs to my room which was at the end of the hall.

I opened the door to my room and I put on the light. I walked towards the shelf where I kept my books and placed them there. Then, I went towards my single bed and pulled open the blanket. I tucked myself in while Cruzita made herself comfortable as she prepared to tell the story.

"Long ago" She began, "There was a time when humans worshipped the moon. It was always a festive period during the full moon. People from all over the country came and when they do, they come bearing gifts for the moon goddess. Everyone was always so happy then, and the moon goddess blesses them with a bountiful harvest and long life. Everything was good until one day the King got jealous of the moon, why should we always look up to the sky to worship the moon when they should always worship me, I am king after all he says.

Then he gathered all members of the court and he told them about it and they agreed with him. The king then built a golden statue in his own image and instructed everyone to worship that instead of the moon. The people followed the King's orders and worshipped the statue instead of the moon. That of course made the moon goddess very angry, very" Cruzita emphasized.

"And then what happened?" I asked clutching my blanket.

"She placed a curse on them" Cruzita's voice fell on a eerie whisper, "Turned them into beasts with long claws and long teeth, with eyes that glow in the dark. This made the people scared and at once they cried out to the moon goddess to save them."

"So did she?" I interrupted her.

Cruzita chuckled at that, "Yes, she did eventually. The moon goddess took mercy upon them and reversed the curse but she made it so they were able to transform back to their human form but the beast still lives within them, native folks call them the cursed one, because of the beasts in them. The beasts were grateful for the moon goddess magnanimity and they went back to worshipping her which is now every now and then during the full moon. Legend has it that if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of the cursed ones singing praises to their moon goddess" Cruzita finished the story with a smile on her face and I grinned back at her.

"I feel sorry for the beasts though" I said still clutching my blanket.

Cruzita looked up at me with a warm smile on her face, "And why is that child?"

"Oh well, they were punished for something their King forced them to do, it's not like they had any choice" I huffed folding my arms up on top of my blanket.

"Anyway the deed is done" Cruzita informed me and I chewed my lips nervously which Cruzita noticed, "What is it dear?"

"Are...are they all evil? The beasts?" I asked her.

"Well I've come across some good beasts in the past" Cruzita said thoughtfully and my ears perked up at that, "But make no mistake little one, whenever you come across a beast you run!" Cruzita said looking at me dead in the eye and making sure I understood the message.

"Do you understand me?"

I nodded my head eagerly and she let out a sigh when she saw that I understood the message.

"Alright dear, time for you to sleep" Cruzita stood up from the chair, "Goodnight little one" She said as she went out of the room after switching off the lights while I closed my eyes and got comfortable under my blanket.

I was still in my haze of sleep when I heard a loud shout. I woke up and looked around the room, it was still dark out and the soft glow of the moon illuminated my room. I heard another shout followed by yells and gunshots. That woke me up and I became even more alert at that.

I threw my covers away from me as I put on my flip flops and hurried to my window to see what was going on. A soft gasp escaped me when I saw what was right outside the window. There was fire everywhere and people were running around with guns in their hands. Shocked, I staggered backwards and looked at my door.

I could see people moving about from the tiny space underneath my door. Without another thought I grabbed my red cloak from the hanger and went outside. I walked down the hall, then went downstairs where I heard people talking.

I hid behind the stairs so I could listen go what they have to say. I could see my dad from where I was, just his back view. I could also see he had some other guests who I recognized as my uncles, uncle Gerald and uncle Leonardo. I also noticed both of them looked worried and there was one other guy with them. All of them were also carrying guns, I wonder why.

"Are you sure Gabriel?" My dad asked a man who nodded his head eagerly.

"Yes Massimo, I saw the beasts come here" Gabriel confirmed but I only grasped one word that sent fear to my body.

Beasts! The beasts were here!

Was it you that night?

On the eve of their wedding, Yan Changsheng brought back a girl and publicly called off the marriage. Only then did Shen Qinghe realize that Yan Changsheng was the crazy male lead from a book, and the girl was the irresistible female protagonist. As for her, she was just early cannon fodder fated to die, and her elder sister was the malevolent female supporting character whom everyone wanted to beat up. Tsk, the plot is just freaking ridiculous! After awakening, Shen Qinghe busied herself with cultivation, protecting her elder sister. Yet, unknowingly seizing the female protagonist's luck, she attracted several crazy male leads, each of them forcibly taking what they wanted from her. She thought Dongfang Wuya was relatively normal, but who knew he was crazier, actually seizing the position of Heavenly Emperor and then forcibly marrying her to become the Heavenly Empress! ** As the high and mighty belle of the cultivation world, Dongfang Wuya had countless admirers and fans. Yet he was devoted to cultivation, treating love as if it were dirt. Initially thinking Shen Qinghe was deeply in love with him, he sternly advised her, "Focus on your cultivation, do not get distracted by romantic entanglements!" Later, irked by her dedication to cultivation, he pressed her into his arms and kissed her, seductively coaxing with a playful smile, "Be my Daoist companion, and I'll aid you in cultivation, hmm?"

The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat!

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'
