ALPHA SIN

ARTEMISIA

A loud bang woke me up from my slumber, and I sat up on the bed. I rubbed at my eyes, letting out a moan as my temple throbbed.

My eyes were puffy. I didn’t need a mirror to see how horrible I looked at the moment, and it seemed like I had cried myself to sleep.

Gazing around the room, my brows creased as I noticed the curtains were up. Because, most times, I often slept with my windows covered.

Perhaps it was Julie. I was certain she had been in the room as I slept.

I lurched as the door went ajar abruptly.

“Julie!”

“What now?” I murmured with a glare.

“We are under attack.” She said breathlessly.

“A-attack?” I stuttered, sitting up straight on the bed.

“Ye…”

The door unhinged before she could finish her statement.

I tilted my brows as I gazed at her, then at the people who had barged into the room.

Five men stood staring back at me.

Why was it all the time I had a problem with Sin that we’d be under attack?

Out of the five men that barged into the room, two surged forward.

“They are just women!” A lanky man, with blond hair and a blotchy face, guffawed.

“Which means they are weaklings.” Another added. He had a buzz cut and stubbles on his cheeks.

The five men burst out laughing.

As I gazed at them more, I was certain they were werewolves.

Aside from the dark aura oozing out of them, they each had an inkling inscribed on the hand before their wrists. Just like the weird design on Sin’s back.

He had said it was the mark of his pack.

I noticed the mark in the two that moved towards me, and I was sure it would be on the rest as well.

Maybe from another pack. I didn’t think the ones that Sin had fought with would ever dare come back. Considering what we did to their leader, that directly attacked me.

“How about you have a taste of what these women can do?!” Julie snarled.

I gasped as she yanked my hand suddenly, shoving me backward. Then she crouched in front of me.

Frowning, I gaze at her, and at the stance she had taken.

She sounded like she was ready to kick some ass, but I know Julie. She was all mouth, which seldom put her in trouble.

Also, she was lucky to get away with most of the things all the time.

“Stay behind me,” she ordered. Her eyes didn’t leave the men who were now in front of her.

“Step back, Miss. We are here only for the lady. No one needs to get hurt, and we don’t need to fight as well.” The teenage boy in the group said.

His slate grey eyes darkened as he gazed at me, and I shivered.

They shouldn’t intimidate me. They didn’t look as powerful as the ones that came before. Those had a witch with them, whilst these, they had none.

But I was terrified. And I didn’t want to show it.

They wanted me.

It didn’t startle me. They wanted me the last time. I admit I was used to it now, seeing as I was the one to fulfil the prophecy.

But I thought all the werewolves would be happy, as there was only a moon available for the entire universe.

They should be glad the goddesses assigned the task to me. But they weren’t. They preferred to capture me rather than see me help them.

During one of the pack meetings, Mila said, the moon’s disappearance did not affect opposing packs as it did to the Blue Moon pack.

Again, since they saw the effect the moon had on our pack members, they were attempting to evade it to take over.

The Blue Moon Pack werewolves were at their worst. The full moon mostly powered them.

Even though they weren’t entirely weak, they wouldn’t be able to face an opponent who was slightly stronger than them.

Presently, it was the witch that was doing all the fighting. It was a good thing they had such people in the pack.

Another growl from Julie snapped me out of my thoughts.

I gazed around as I didn’t see her in front of me any more.

Then I followed the startled look on the face of the intruders in front of me.

Slinking back, I shrieked.

My heart thumped loudly, and I stuttered as I sighted a panther.

“J-Julie?”

She gazed at me with large green eyes and purred.

“Oh my goodness, Julie! How is this you?!”
