My heart beats vigorously in my chest as my feet stumble on a rock. I fell to the ground and roughly collided with a huge boulder, I felt blood trickling down my head, and I breathed out in frustration.
"Get her, she's on the floor." I heard a voice yell and that gave me the strength I needed to continue my run. I got up swiftly and began to run, my bare feet hurt with every impact it made with thorns. I can feel the wound and the blood at the back of my feet, it feels sticky and dry. The smell filled my nostrils and I felt the sudden urge to throw up.
"Keep running Natalia, they are close.'I heard my dragon yell in my head. I kept on running after his words and found myself in front of a huge fence. Fear fled my mind at the thought of not being able to run, the fence is tall and I doubt I can climb.
"Let's shift!" my dragon yelled in my mind.
"No, Bradox, it's too dangerous," I say to him.
"It's not, they'll kill us if we don't shift."
His anger fueled the pain I felt in my head and an exasperated scream left my mouth. "What is happening?" I asked my dragon but he seems to also not understand. Suddenly, I fell to the ground and slowly drifted into a world of darkness. The last thing I heard before my eyes closed was the firing of a gun.
****
The ache I felt in my head didn't do me well as I tried to open my eyes, the first thing that hit me was the smell of blood. At first, I thought it was my blood until I looked around and saw myself locked in a chair. Suddenly I realized I was in a cell, my eyes calmly scanned around and I ascertained that I was not the only one behind a bar. I can see a bar before me with a creature hung to the ceiling, it was covered with blood and I cannot tell if he is alive or dead. I look to the other cell and there is a woman who is in a far worse state than the man, I swallowed a lump when I thought about myself and what my capturers would do to me.
"Bradox, do you think you can get me out of here?" I ask my dragon, he seems to be very weak.
"I don't know, let's try using fire to get free." He said and abruptly I felt my body heating up and the sound of metal breaking made me feel joy as I stared at the handcuffs on my arm shattering.
I smiled when it finally broke, "Thank you Bradox, now how do we get out of this cell?" I asked while placing my hand on the metal bars.
"Dummy, the same way we got out of the iron cuffs." He said and I chuckled. I placed my hand on the iron bars and they began to turn red, suddenly, they broke. I did a happy dance as I stepped out, I didn't fail to see the stares the other prisoners were giving me. "Help" I heard the woman I saw earlier say. I felt like helping her but I decided to shrug it off and run, I ran down the halls. It looked endless and it made me confused.
"Can you hear anything Bradox?" I asked my dragon, he had very keen hearing than I do, he didn't say a thing, he seemed to be busy trying to hear audibly.
"Run left and then right, I can hear voices coming from there. I'm sure there should be a way out." Bradox explained and I nodded. I began to run left and then I turned right.
Suddenly, I saw a shadow of a wolf coming forth. "She has escaped!" I heard a human male yell.
"Don't come close to me, you'll regret it," I warned. The wolf dared to take a step closer to me.
"Don't!" I warned, but he didn't listen and so I generated a fireball and threw it at him. He dodged it and it landed on a huge curtain that covered a window in the hall. I generated another fireball and I threw it at another wolf that was heading my way. I heard him howl in pain as the fire burned through him.
"ENOUGH!" I heard the animalistic voice of a man, and the next thing I saw coming was a silver light, and it hit me, making darkness envelop me calmly.
*******
I could hear faint voices around me, my head hurt just like it did the other time I had to wake up from my unconscious state.
"She's awake!" I heard the raspy voice of a man say. And then a growl followed, making fear grip my heart. I suddenly noticed I was hanged to the ceiling just like the man I had seen earlier.
"What do you want from me? you bastards!" I growled. My dragon was angry at the thought of being tied up, no Royal Dragon loves being held captive, especially by a pack of dirty wolves.
"I'll ask the question here," A werewolf in the human form said. He looked 6ft tall and he was looking directly at my face, I gathered enough saliva in my mouth and threw it at him, it was hot and he groaned.
"You bitch!" He smacked me hard across the face. I could feel the taste of iron In my mouth, it was blood. I smirked at him and that seemed to irritate him further and he slapped me once again.
"Enough, Dimitri." I heard the calm but menacing voice of another male. He was in the dark side of the cell, he walked over to us and with every step he took, I could feel the surge of power that emanated from him.
Slowly and calmly, he came into the light. A growl escaped his lips and I shuddered, it was clear to me that the man before me was the Alpha king, the king of Werewolves and my biggest nightmare.

"We captured the intruder, it turns out she's a female." My beta informed me.
"Is she a human?" I asked. Not many people had the guts to walk into my territory, only a person who is not aware of where this is would dare come in here.
"No, she's not. She's not a wolf either." My beta said. Suddenly, the howling of a pained wolf could be heard from afar. We immediately ran as we recognized the voice to be that of my gamma, we ran out to find him on fire. I immediately hurled a water spell that quenched the fire on my gammas body and that of a burning curtain that hung in the wall.
She was about to generate another fireball and I instantly yelled, "ENOUGH" I cast a sleep spell and she fell to the ground helplessly.
"Take her to the torture prison, make sure her hands and legs are hanged to the ceiling and the ground," I ordered my beta and he nodded. He tried picking her up but he flinched.
"What happened?" I asked.
"She burnt me." He said. I lifted my hands and generated a snowstorm. It fell on her and her body flinched. My beta then decided to pick her up, I was sure she didn't burn him anymore because he picked her effortlessly.
I immediately mind-linked my pack's doctors to send some wardens over here to come help my gamma, his wolf was hurt but his human body wasn't charred. He had shifted to his human form due to the pain his wolf was in. The pack doctor and some wardens immediately ran in and picked his body up. Thankfully, he was breathing but was unconscious.
I then snapped my finger and teleported into the torture prison. "What do you want from me? You bastards!" I heard her growl angrily and I stopped at my pace and decided to watch her reaction as my beta approached her.
"I'll ask the questions here," My beta said as he stood before her, the next thing I heard was a groan that escaped his lips as he held his face painfully. She spat at him, which earned her a slap across the face. Instead of wincing in pain, she smirked and he smacked her hard again.
"Enough, Dimitri," I said very calmly, my beta moved away from her and I took calm strides over to her, her eyes grew wide when they landed on me. I could see the fear in it, but she tried to fight it.
"What are you? And what are you doing in my territory?" I asked very calmly but menacingly. I could see her shudder once again. Her eyes bored into mine calmly and I could feel a surge of power run through me, it was a bit painful but it was nothing I couldn't withstand. My body vibrated dangerously and I could hear the faint voice of my wolf call to me. My eyes grew wide at the sudden manifestation of my wolf, after ten long years. It was back, I heard him call my name once more.
"Blaze," I said in my mind. He didn't respond, but I heard him say something. It was faint and I couldn't make out what it was.
"Blaze!" I yelled in my head.
"MATE" I heard Blaze yell in my head. What does my wolf mean? My mate is dead, she died ten years ago.
"What do you mean mate? Our mate is dead!" I said to Blaze. I could see the eyes of my beta and the girl watched me weirdly as I communicated with my wolf.
"She's our mate" he growled. Then a realization hit me, this unknown species is my mate. I looked at her calmly and held her jaw tightly but not painfully, though she winced in pain.
"You are hurting mate you bastard, stop it" My wolf yelled at me.
"Shut up Blaze, you can't just show up and control me, you have a lot of explaining to do later." I snapped back at him.
I let go of my mate's face and asked, "What are you? I am asking you one last time, I will kill you if you do not reply." I threatened and my wolf growled at me ferociously.
"Shut up!" I snapped at him. And then looked back at the blue-haired woman that stared at me. She was beautiful and had rapture blue eyes, she had a wound on her head that blood still seeped out of. It was fresh.
"And why would I tell a dirty wolf who I am?" She responded rudely and I summoned a knife using magic and placed it on her arm.
"Don't do it" My wolf whimpered, I ignored him and sliced through her arm. She let out a scream as the knife cut into her deeply.
"I'm giving you one last chance, I swear if you do not speak, the knife will cut through your neck next," I said, she looked at me with tears in her eyes, my wolf whimpered at the sight of that. But then, a smirk followed with the tears that dribbled down her eyes.
"I'm telling you nothing." She said calmly and I placed the knife on her neck. Her smirk didn't fade away.
"Don't do it Rome, she's our mate," My wolf said, his voice held great sadness and the knife in my hand instantly fell. She looked a bit pleased by the fact that I didn't slice through her neck.
I turned to my beta and said, "Dimitri, make sure she doesn't run. Give her little water and no food. And also, do not harm her." I added the last part when my wolf whimpered again. Dimitri nodded and I teleported out of the dungeon and into my office.
"Get mate out of there, she looks sad." My wolf said.
"She is not my mate, maybe she is yours but not mine. I can not accept any other woman other than Emerald." I said to my wolf, he howled in pain at the mention of our ex-mate, Emerald. She was murdered ten years ago by a pack of dragons, hence, I destroyed the whole species of dragons to avenge her death.
"Emerald is dead, please give our new mate a chance Rome, I feel she's nice." He said.
"You do not even know what she is." I hissed at him.
"Let me speak to her, I promise I'll find out." He said desperately and I nodded.
"But I'm still angry at you for leaving me." I said to him.
"I'll never leave again, now that I have a mate once more." He said; he sounded really happy. But I, I couldn't deal with the idea of loving another woman other than Emerald.
