The time is near, that’s what the voice keeps telling me. That’s what everyone says.
Since I knew earth, I thought I’d forever be happy till I leave it for d@mn good. I never knew challenges of this kind would come.
First, losing the people I love. I know I shouldn’t be thinking about them anymore but it’s just not as easy as it’s said. Though, I’m trying.
Now, I’m stocked in a hell of dungeon of a crazy voice in my head which turns out to be the one person I want on the alpha throne.
He might be a beast as we all know but, I believe he is the rightful heir to the throne.
Somehow, I am beginning to regret every learning history about this creature. I think it’s because I so much put interest in it that is why I am the one getting hunted.
The time is near. Shall we all be scared? Or rather rejoice that alpha Kaleb will no longer have to thr_@ten our lives?
” It’s all gonna be over some day.” Mrs Greene said to me.
Yeah, I know. One day, all this will turn out to be a story to tell. But for now, it’s d@mn reality in my head.
” But why does it have to be me?” I asked, terrified. ” I don’t know him quite well, I just read books about it. It was said that he would never find love or happiness, does he wanna turn me to his tool for vengeance?”
Mrs Greene looked at Miss Meyers, then at me. I know it was a lot difficult to give an answer to my question. But did I lie? There is every possiblity that he wants me as a tool.
Plus, I don’t even know what kind of wolf I am? What if he had seized it from growing all for his gain?
d@mn! My head is so full and I can’t even think straight right now.
” Well, I do think his return should be a jubilation to us. That dude of an alpha called Kaleb is a pain in the @zz and I can’t stop imagining how sweet his death would be. If there is anything the beast has to do to him, is to rip off his throat for the dogs to eat.” Miss Meyers cursed.
” I am scared.”
” Why?” They asked in unison.
” Of tonight. I don’t think I can close my eyes. Right now as we speak, I can’t explain how weak I am. The voice still rings in my head, and it’s surpressing me. ” She blinked slowly. ” I think I’m gonna pass out.”
” Again?” That was the last thing I heard, then every thing went dark.

Theodora’s eyes closed. They tapped her but she wasn’t responding. ” How close is he?” Victoria asked. Since Miss Meyers was another person who knows much about the beast.
” I think it’s very close. ” Touches her neck to feel her temperature. ” She’s cold.”
Victoria felt her pulse, they were beating slow. ” We need to rush her to the hospital.”

I opened my eyes to see myself laying on the floor in a dark and strange place. I wouldn’t say it is a room because it doesn’t look like any to me.
The atmosphere smelt like ice, and the breeze which blew to my skin made me shiver.
I forced myself to stand to my feet, I couldn’t move, my legs are stiffened and it’s all because the cold here was hundred degree lower than the United States.
I folded my arms around my chest, I could hear the sound of my teeth gnashing each other.
“What’s this place?” I asked myself.
I started walking to where the spirit leads. I got to a point where I was in no control of myself. I was moving not of my own free will.
” What’s happening to me?” I asked, still walking motionless. ” Why am I not stopping?”
Then I heard a loud growl. I wanted to stop, I desperately wanted to but I couldn’t. My heart beat became fast and loud.
I got to a place still with no sun light. But the source of the light which illuminated the place was from a glass vessel.
I was glaring at this vessel which had a pink flower contained in it. It was so beautiful that I couldn’t resist the sight.
I walked close to the rocky table where it was kept. My hand was halfway to touch it when a deep growl sounded from behind me.
I froze in fear, with a sudden pause. Slowly, I moved my gaze towards the direction the sound was heard.
My head almost swell in fear and shock to see the figure, the creature hung by a strong metal chain on both hands and legs.
I swallowed hard.
It wasn’t looking at me, it looked dead but his breath was loud like that of a buffalo.
Does it mean… I am staring at the cursed beast? The very one history has told us about??
Again, I turned my gaze to the flower, it had only one leaf left. But it looks fresh. It still have a long day ahead before it drops to the ground.
I looked at the beast once again, it looks horrific and scary to the marrow. How can a human look like this? I wondered.

She was lost in thought that she didn’t realize the creature was staring at her. It was silently watching her.
When she moved her gaze back to him…. She stiffened like ice.
Theodora almost felt like passing out and if possible, let the ground open in halves and have her eaten in whole.
Face to face she was staring at the beast, no longer as an image in the history book, but as reality before her.
In a very deep voice, he echoed her name. ” THEODORA…!!!”
