Chapter 1
FAMILY MASSACRE
ZARYA'S POV
We were werewolves that turned our back to the Elemental Kingdom to live peacefully in the city. We never regret signing the paper and choosing to be ordinary people until...
"Hey, let's go buy popcorn!" My fourteen-year-old brother Zaiden was holding the wallet of our mother.
"Don't get too much, Zay, the money needs to last for a week!" Mom shouted from the kitchen, she was washing the dishes.
I lay on the couch while grasping my phone, I was scrolling on social media, stalking my crush, and eventually threw the phone on the center table.
The lovely boy from the school has a girlfriend!
I am eighteen years old, taking my college degree, and burning my eyebrow at the start of the school year. That was the most difficult part of the life of a teenager. We were living in the city for about three years now.
At times, I was missing the place where I used to live, the Elemental Kingdom. My mom and dad were fighters, Betas. They were a great warrior and servant of King Oswald. However, even though I wanted to be like them, they decided to move to the humans' place. They told us the essence of having a hushed environment, normally interacting with human beings rather than gamble our lives day by day and never knew if we could survive the battle, or we found ourselves lying on the soil while gasping for air due to the blood loss or wounds.
"Buy me a bar of chocolate! I'm heartbroken! Pick up the pieces of my heart on the floor!" I stomped my feet on the corner of the couch, super irritable. I acted as if I was crying.
"Duh!" Zay waved his hand with a dollar on his hand. "You just saw him yesterday and yet you're devastated? How flirt you are!" He was chuckling, teasing me with his playful grin.
I kicked him with control. Perhaps, he might report me to Mom and Dad. He was a crying baby. The last time I punched him in the face, he cried and acted as if I had killed him to death. We were just playing at that time. He was just a good actor. Then, when Mom and Dad were scolding me, he brought out his tongue, annoyed me so freaking badly.
"Zaiden Wixx, for your information. The heart knows where it beats! You're envying me because I'm the hottest woman on our Campus. How about you? No one loves you! I pity you!" I irritated him back. I stood up while swaying my hips. I walked upstairs, looking at my nails. I was thinking of putting a red stain on it.
By the way, I don't care if the lovely boy has a lover. I can find another target.
In my third step on the stairs, I looked back at Zay. He was operating my phone. That was why I hurried towards him as if I had wings I would fly just to get back my phone.
"Hey, you, Little Boy! You're invading my privacy!"
He chuckled, shook his head. OMG! He read my messages!
"Oh, Baby, where can I see you? Did you eat? Eat me." He laughed so hard, he even touched his belly while rolling on the map. "I'll tell Dad!" He ran quickly, towards the stair, but I suddenly grabbed his clothes on the back.
"I'll give you ten dollars, just don't!" I rubbed my palm, and pleaded with him while my eyes were rolling.
A grin formed on his lips. "Higher."
"Twenty dollars!"
In the middle of our argument, I heard the sound of the doorbell. Mom walked closer to the door and opened it. My attention went to her direction when the blag sound covered the whole area. It felt like my world stopped rotating as the blood flowed on the floor.
"Mom!" I and Zay were about to run towards her. We paused when the group of people with black masks, cloaks, and warrior garments were visible. They invaded our house. I think fast. It was not a good thing if Zay went closer to her, so I grabbed his hand and ran as fast as we could, going to the second floor.
"Dad!"
My body trembled. I could not talk or move when we viewed his body lying on the floor, bathing in blood, and had more than twenty stabs, the cause of his death.
When the curtain flew by air, the silhouette of a man could be seen behind it. I was about to hold my brother again to escape, but it was too late. The group of intruders was in front of us. I had nothing to say, I just closed my eyes and waited for my death. I had no one, except my brother. When I lived and escaped from this, my life would just be miserable.
A man knelt down, held my chin, and yanked my hair. "This won't happen to your family if your parents were not a Beta at the Elemental Kingdom."
I heard the sob of my brother, they were getting him.
"You can kill me, but not my brother. Please!" The tears rolled to my cheek until they flooded my face. I could feel the stinging sensation in my chest that continued to cause pain in my heart. I died from the moment I saw my mother and father bathing in blood, and not breathing.
"Please, I'm begging一" I gasped for air, could not continue.
In front of me, they behead my poor little brother. There was no sound coming out of my mouth. I silently cried as I crawled to his lower body. I could feel the gritting of my teeth, the intensifying grief, the blockage in my chest.
I wish it was just a nightmare, but by touching the hand of my brother. By hearing my own suffering, it was the reality. They murdered my family, never left anyone to me.
The sword pointed at my neck, I looked up at him. I memorized every single detail of his face.
"Don't leave me breathing." I closed my eyes, letting the liquid stream my face. I clenched my fists, grabbing my brother's hand tightly.
I shut my eyes as he raised his sword and was about to behead me like what he did to Zaiden.
"I'll do it!" The man behind the curtain suddenly showed up in front of me. "I need privacy. I want to taste her."
The dread crawled all over my whole system.
No...
The laughter covered the room. The man who cut the head of my brother tapped the shoulder of the guy. "That's my son."
They turned their back, leaving me with the stranger. I backed away as he moved towards me. I screamed so hard when he touched me.
HEZA The girl who has attractive features that captivate everyone in just one look, but be careful with her smirk, it is deadly. Once she gave you a smirk that means 'You will die.' You wish you could not see the curve in her lips. If you do... RUN!
