ESTELLA POV
Life as a rogue is not an easy one. I have face so many challenges for the past three years.
It's been three whole years since I lost my family because of that bastard of a monster.
At first when I left my pack, I tried to seek for refuge in the other neighboring packs.
The experience I got from some packs were so terrible.
The first pack I went to, I was taken to a cell where I was locked in for two weeks. I was only given just a slice of dried bread and dirty water to drink once a day. They kept interrogating me thinking I was a spy even when I told them who I was. They used torture on me which was so unbearable.
I was so weak and bruised but I had to keep it together and not give up. The only time I am allowed to die is after I have killed Alpha Gustavio.
I decided to escape because I couldn't keep staying in that place. They might kill me just like that. I was able to get out although I was badly injured.
Some kind couple who were rogues found me when I was on the verge of drying because I had lost a lot of blood. They took care of me and I became very strong.
The male rogue was kind to teach me some fighting skills so I can be able to protect myself since they saw me as a rogue like them.
I was happy that I had them around but fate has a way of making me to suffer.
They were killed when some aggressive rogues came and attacked us. They died protecting me.
I only stayed with them for four months yet their death hurt me badly like they were my biological family.
I was alone again. I had no one to look after me. I have to survive alone.
I decided it's best to go back to staying in a pack.
I went to another pack and begged for them to let me stay with them.
They allowed me to stay in their pack.
I wasn't locked up like the first one but since they saw me as a rogue, they treated me badly and it was so draining.
I was treated as a slave in the pack. I did every kind of jobs for everyone. They made me work my ass out.
I endured everything because I had no other choice. At least I was still fed although the food wasn't much but it was still something and I also had a place to lay my head.
But it got worse when they began to bully me also. I was treated like I wasn't a human being and also a werewolf like them.
It reached a point when I couldn't take the insults anymore. I packed my things and left the pack.
I lived as a rogue for a while. I used that time to train so hard. I was so hard on myself that it was too much for me. I wanted to give up so many times but whenever I remembered my goal, I kept going.
One day, I was attacked by some dangerous rogues. I went to hunt for my meal. I was getting mad that I couldn't catch any prey.
Only for me to face five rogues who were behind me and I didn't scent them coming.
I made a bad mistake not paying attention to my back. I would have noticed they were coming for me if I was being careful.
I began to walk back but that didn't stop them from walking forward to me.
Now I am left with only two options.
To fight or to run.
I quickly began to think fast what to choose. But when I noticed a rogue running to me, I decided to run.
I ran and jumped on him. I let Stella take over as she finished him in less than a minute.
She dropped his lifeless body and licked his blood off her snout.
I looked at the rest of the rogues who were all charging at me at once.
As tempting as the thought of running keeps ringing in my mind, I couldn't make my legs to move to the exit route.
So I stood and fought like the Alpha warrior which I am. I decided to use them to practice harder and see how far I have gone. But I needed to be careful so I won't be killed by them. This isn't just a training but also a real fight which means I can be killed by this wolfs.
I was bigger than them in wolf size so it was easy to fight them off. Although it wasn't easy since they were all against me and I had no one to watch my back.
I was fighting the ones in front of me when I felt a rogue bite me right on the leg. Before his fangs could go deeper and cause a huge damage, I kicked him hard right on his face making him to let me go with a whimper. I hope I broke his snout. He almost crippled me. What a bastard.
I need to get my revenge for what he just did.
I focused on killing the two in my front before facing the ones behind me and killing them off.
I looked at their dead bodies before walking away. My leg was still bleeding when I got to the cave I was staying.
I tried to treat it with leaves to stop the bleeding. Stella took days to heal the leg because it was infected.
That wasn't the only time I had to fight with rogues. There was no time I won't fight them off whenever they come for me. The only time I don't fight them is when they are large in number and I know I can't stand a chance with them so I run for my dear life.
My speed and strength were excellent because of the training I had with the rogues.
After I had gotten more stronger than I used to be, I decided to go the packs which are close to the Golden pack.
I needed to investigate and know more about the pack so I can make plans on how to get my revenge.
I tried settling in some packs which were closer to the Golden pack. Some packs refused to let me join them because they were scared that I might hurt them because I looked scary according to some.
I didn't give up on trying my best to find the pack that will let me in.
I also tried going to the Golden pack but before I could go close to the boarders, I was warned not to go or else I will be executed even without saying single word.
That's how scary the golden pack and also Alpha Gustavio is.
No one knows his real name. I only heard from the few information I gathered that he is a cruel and very cold person.
He doesn't like to talk to people and he is always on alert with whoever is close to him.
Killing him might be hard for me but that doesn't mean am ready to give up just yet.
I need to find a way to get so close to him that's all that matters at the moment.
I went to a pack which was so close to the Golden pac kand requested for them to let me join them for some months.
My request was taken to the alpha. I was waiting for a reply outside the boarders.
I was finally accepted into the pack.
I was taken to the alpha.
“Estrella is that you?” he asked.
I smiled when I heard him call my name. I don't know anything about him but for him to call my name, I knew that he knows me.
“Good afternoon alpha.” I greeted respectfully.
“I heard what happened to your family. I didn't know you were alive. Where have you been all this while?” he asked.
“Sorry but do you know my family?” I asked wondering who he is.
“Your Dad and I are really close friends back then. I came to pay a visit when you were still a baby that's why you can't recognize me. I heard what happened to your family. Accept my condolences. But from what I heard, there was no survival. I'm surprised your alive. Come my dear you need to eat first then you can tell me everything that have happened to you.” he said.
I happily followed him to his house. People kept looking at me but I knew they can't do anything since I'm with their alpha.
We got in and he ordered that food should be served. The moment I saw the food, I devoured it quickly.
I wanted to scream out for joy because finally I get to eat good food. I can't remember when last I had such a meal before.
I finished eating till I couldn't eat anymore. I looked up to see the alpha looking at me shaking his head in pity.
I began to tell him everything that happened to me since my parents died.
“That is really disheartening to hear. You have gone through a lot. I can't imagine how it was for you. I can't let you go through that again. I will accept you into my pack. You will have your own house since you said you are twenty two now. You will be fed also. Don't worry about anything.” he said.
I felt so grateful that I have found a place to call a home for the meantime.
I thanked him continuously.
I wish I meant him since. I wonder why it never crossed my mind to come here.
Well maybe everything happens for a reason.
He took me to the pack house and gave me a room to stay. I was so happy to finally have a good bed to lay on. It's been long my body laid on one. I was always sleeping on the hard floor.
I slept late a baby although I had a nightmare which I usually have most nights. I dream about watching how my family were killed in front of me.
The next morning I went to the kitchen. I was scared to let others see me. Just as I was about to enter, I heard them talking about the Golden pack which caught my attention.
“I just hope those who left will win and get accepted as warriors in Golden pack.
I was surprised when I heard the Alpha was letting strangers enter his pack to apply to be warriors. He must really be in need of warriors.” one said.
“I am scared of that man for real. I can't imagine working for him. He is too cold and heartless. I heard he rejected his mate because she wasn't up to his standard.” another said.
“I also can't stay close to him. Did you remember when he came here to pay a friendly visit which didn't feel friendly. My body kept shaking even after he left.” someone said.
“He is...”
“Estrella I see you are up.” I turned to see it was the alpha.
I smiled and greeted him. After we talked for a while, I asked for his presence because I wanted to talk about something important with him.
We left the front door of the kitchen and went to his office.
“What is it you want us to talk about?” he asked.
“I am truly grateful that you have given me a place to stay but I can't stay here.” I told him.
“And why is that? You wanted to yesterday. Don't you like it here?” he asked looking surprised.
“Of course I love it here. Just that I want to join the Golden pack and be a warrior. It has always been my dream to be a warrior. I want to work there.” I told him.
“But haven't you heard about Alpha Gustavio. He isn't a nice person.” he said looking worried.
“I know about him. I don't care who he is. I am not scared of him. I really want to work under him. Please help me out so I can have access to enter his pack and apply.” I begged him.
I need an identity of a pack. I am sure if I go as a rogue I will be rejected and sent away.
The alpha looked at me trying to read my facial expression to know what I was thinking but I didn't let him figure anything.
“Fine I will give you an identity as a member of my pack.” he said.
“Thank you so much sir. I am so grateful for your kindness and help. I can't thank you enough for all you have done for me.” I said appreciating him.
Now I can't help but feel excited because I am getting closer to my goal.
Now it's time to execute my revenge. A rare opportunity has been opened for me.
Alpha Gustavio get ready to rot in hell because I'm coming for you.
