Chapter 18
“Let me go” I cried thrashing around.
"What will we eat if we let you go hu?" Dylan said smiling evilly.
"We are really hungry Adieee” Bell chirped showing me a fork.
“Bell I thought we were friends” I cried trying to set myself free.
"Humans can never be our friends. We can't do friendship with our food. What will we eat to survive then?” Bell began to sharpen the knife she was holding.
“Let me go” I tried to crawl away from the top of the table where I was tied.
“No can do Adie” Blake laughed coming near me.
“It will just take a minute Adie” Cole smirked evilly.
Dylan, Bell, Come and Blake began to surround me and they began to taunt me showing me the knives in their hand. They were going to eat me.
I shouted and screamed until my throat was itching, “No don’t eat me no don't eat me. I don't have any meat” I screamed thrashing around.
I found myself shaking and when I came back to my senses I looked around frantically to find myself in my room, sitting on my bed, holding a pillow tightly while Dylan was standing beside the bed, Cole and Blake near the window and Bell was sitting before me.
All their eyes were on me looking at me as if I have two heads attached to my body. I eyed them cautiously and took a deep breath calming myself down. I was just daydreaming.
“Idiot!” my inner self mocked me.
Bell cleared her throat and I watched as her expression changed to a worried one. She reached her hands and touched my arms reassuring me that everything was alright.
“Are you okay?” She whispered with worried eyes.
“Yeah! Yeah I am okay” I found myself replying nodding my head like a robot.
She gave me a small smile and touched my cheek patting it lightly.
"Don’t worry. Calm down a bit” she told me to which I only nodded.
“It wasn't how I expected you to find out” I heard Dylan muttering and he rubbed his face with his palms cleanly frustrated.
"Aderyn” Bell began and I gave her my full attention.
"You need to something about us” she spoke and my inner voice stated irritated “No sh*t Sherlock”. I kept my mouth shut though I wanted to say those sarcastic words.
“I know you already have find it out by yourself but whatever you saw there is the half truth. You need to know the full one. I know you must freaking out inside which you are clearly not showing but Adie “she reached for my hand “we will never harm you".
I didn't Knew what to say so I just kept my mouth shut and nodded my head like Noddy.
She sighed and turned to look at Dylan. Dylan shoved his hands into his pant pocket and pursing his lips he nodded towards Bell.
I looked towards Cole and Blake to find them already staring at me. They gave me a small smile to which I returned assuring them that I was alright.
Bell turned towards me and taking a deep breath she spoke in one breath “We are Werewolves”.
“I am elephant” I couldn’t stop my mouth saying those sarcastic sentence.
She gave me a look and I heard Dylan scoffing at me while Blake and Cole burst out laughing. "Aderyn can never change” Blake spoke and Cole nodded coughing a little.
"Aderyn this is serious” Bell turned my head towards her using her finger.
"Okay Fine" I held the pillow to my chest and gestured for her to continue.
"Aderyn we are shape shifters, supernatural beings which is we are Werewolves” she told me and I quietly listened to her.
“We have been on earth from thousands of years, before human and we have been living as a mythological creatures away from mankind”.
“We keep ourselves hidden from you humans but trust we are no harm to you. We respect your kind and that is why we are staying away from you human living peacefully. Trust me Aderyn we are no harm to you" she told me truthfully and I nodded agreeing with her.
Sure they were no harm to us. Otherwise we would've been in deep Shit.
"So why am I here? I mean why was I kidnapped and brought here? Did I do something to violate your community?” I asked confused trying to remember if I did anything unintentionally.
“No Aderyn you did not do anything. We brought you here because we need you" she spoke. “Ne-Need me?” I questioned to which my inner self replied “for your meat”
I shut her up and payed attention to Bell.
"Adie for that you need to know everything about us first okay?” She asked and I nodded positively. “See we have our God, who created us as you human has your God and lords that you pray we have our creator and she is The Moon Goddess".
My mouth formed into a O shape as I found myself interested to learn more about them.
“The Moon Goddess created us. She is our Creator”.
"After her is The Aged Wolves. They are the Seniors of our kind. They have been living in this ground for millions of years. They are wolves, powerful than us. They give us powers and they have the capability to take our powers back too. They can never die. They are immortals, they are like souls wandering everywhere”.
"After them is the King. The most powerful among the werewolves. The Alpha of every Alphas. His word is our command. He rules the werewolf kind. He saves us from threats and our enemies". “Then comes the Queen. She is the mate of the King. She takes care of the kingdom. She is as powerful as the King. She is like a mother to every werewolf. She is the Luna of Lunas”
She told me and the word “Luna” disturbed me but I chose to keep my mouth shut. I will ask her about that later.
“Then comes Beta who is the right hand of Alpha. The warriors who fights and protects the territory”.
"We werewolves have different packs. There are many packs in this world. Each pack have their own Alpha, Luna, Beta and different ranks".
“But they all are below us”.
“Below you?" I questioned.
"Yes below us because The King himself is Dylan”.
She told smiling at me and I looked at Dylan shocked. He was a freaking King?
“Yes I am the ” he said air quoting the words “freaking King".
I scoffed at him and eyes him up and down.
“Who made you the King?” and crossed my arms across the pillow. He scowled at me and muttered something under his breath. Bell tried to hide her smile but was failing miserably. At last she coughed a little and became serious speaking “Moon Goddess made him the King".
I gave her a small smile and narrowed my eyes at Dylan who was looking the other way his expression neutral.
“Blake is the Beta of Betas” she told me and I looked towards him giving him a genuine smile. I don't know why but I feel proud and glad that he held that position. He smiled back at me proudly and held his head high showing me how proud he was.
“Cole is the warrior, the Delta of Deltas” I looked towards Cole to find him giving me a nervous glance. I smiled at him to which his nervousness seemed to fade away and he smiled back at me. “We also have Omegas, who are the lowest rank of werewolf kind".
“What about the Queen?” I questioned interested to know.
I wanted to know whose luck was that bad to be the Queen of Dylan. She must be really irritated by him. I feel bad for her though.
Bell pursed her lips and looked back at Dylan for any kind of signal. Dylan rolled his eyes and looked other way.
“The Queen is yet to be found Adie. But we know she is around us, with us, safe with us” she told me and I nodded.
“How will you know that she is your Queen?” I asked the question was disturbing me from the beginning.
“We can feel her. We can feel her power and we sense her as our Queen. Werewolves have mates Aderyn. The Moon Goddess sends us as our soulmates, the other half. We were meant to be together. We can feel and smell them when they are around us. Our mates will have their own smell which only we, their mate can smell it. It will feel as if the world will stop around you when you look into your mate eyes. He/she will be your everything who will take care of you, cherish you with love, protect you and everything. When you will touch your mate, you feel sparks and tingles forming in that place where he will touch you".
At her last sentence my breath hitched and I could feel my heart beat rising. Her sentence disturbed me. I took a glance towards Dylan to find him already looking at me with something in his eyes.
I averted my gaze not wanting to think about it and concentrated upon Bell.
"So that's how we will know that she is our Queen” Bell completed.
“But what am I doing here?” I asked still confused.
"Who will know about it soon Aderyn but till then have faith on us and have patience” she told me with hope in her eyes.
"Do you have a mate?” I asked and watched as her cheeks tinted pink as immediately she heard my question. She took a loose strand of her hair and twirled it with her fingers blushing and shaking her head "No".
"Only Cole has found his mate” she told me and I looked at Cole who was already smiling dreamily possibly thinking about his mate.
“Who is she?” I asked
“She is the daughter of an Alpha from a pack. She has gone to them for few days. She will be back soon and you will meet her soon".
I nodded “What will happen after you find your mate?” I asked.
Blake began to cough and he went out of the room giving an excuse.
“You will mate with he-" she was cut off by Dylan.
“That's enough. I think that is enough for today. She will know about all this eventually not at a time” Dylan justified to his interruption.
Bell bit down on her tongue and looked at me giving me a sheepish grin.
“I think Alpha will tell yo-" she was again interrupted by Dylan who spoke warning “Bella”.
She stopped mid sentence and I frowned at Dylan for interrupting so much.
“What is your problem? Can't you just keep quiet?” I snapped at him to which he just gave me a sarcastic smile crossing his hands across his chest.
“Bell let's give her some space. She should probably take rest. It is all very new to her. Tell her about us tomorrow. It's very late. Let her sleep” Dylan spoke more like Commanded and gave me glance before turning around and walking out of the room.
Bell sighed and looked at me “I think he is right. You should sleep now".
“She will tell you everything tomorrow"Cole spoke walking towards us and keeping a hand on Bell. Bell nodded and got up from the bed and made me sleep on my bed. I still couldn't believe everything and I held the pillow more tightly to my chest.
Bell placed a small kiss on my forehead and covered me with the duvet. I gave her a small smile. Both of them walked towards the door and Bell switched off the light.
"Wait!" I found myself talking.
"Yeah?" Bell asked from the doorway.
“You are not human eaters right?” I asked foolishly and she looked at Cole who shook his head, sighing.
“No we are not” she told me and I laughed incredulously feeling foolish “Haha stupid me” I muttered.
"Good Night Aderyn” Cole spoke smiling.
"Good Night Adie” Bell wished and I replied with a mere whisper when I found myself already feeling sleepy. As soon as my head hit the pillow I slept soundly still thinking all this
