Werewolf

Cassie POV
It take a whole forty-eight hours before we finally arrive at the country we were heading to. At some point in the journey, I was wondering if we are still on earth or have gone to another planet. You won't blame me, right? That was the longest journey of my life.
We finally arrive at the strange place, and I must confess that I feel so weird being here. Strangely, we didn't take a single belonging from the mansion and it's kind of driving me crazy now. What the heck is going on? As much as I want to feed my curiosity and ask questions, I dare not to. Just the look on the mysterious man's face sends shivers down my spine. I wonder what his name is.
As the car drives down the road, I keep observing the area as I stare out through the window. Unlike other places that are filled with houses, this place is strangely filled with nothing, but plants and wild animals. I cringe when I

"You didn't have to do that, my lord," One of the old werewolves utters, bowing respectfully.
Alpha Damien is sitting on his throne, having a meeting with all the members of the palace castle. Over the years, although alpha Damien may be someone feared by people, if there's one thing he cherishes the most, it is the cooperation of his people, and he dims it fit to listen to them, no matter how difficult it seems to be for him. He's a very understanding alpha.
"Yes, my lord. Lord Luther is right. Who knows, maybe this young lady is innocent. I know you're angry and seeking vengeance, but don't you think it's better to be sure of everything before you take any action?" Another one stands up and utters, while alpha Damien keeps staring into space, listening to them one after the other.
"We're not even sure if she's the daughter of the beta," Another one shrug.
"I have been patient for over 

Cassie POV
"Make yourself comfortable," She says to me and smiles at me before she finally ambles out of the room. I stare around for a while and sigh deeply. Why do I feel like I'm in the pit of hell? Why do I feel like my life is doomed? Well, I shouldn't be surprised though.
Sitting on the edge of the soft and comfy bed, I stare into space as memories of the past came flashing back in my mind, I can't help the tears that roll down my cheeks. Why does my dad have to hate me to the point of this? Why does he have to hate his daughter so much to the point of selling her off to a stranger whom he knows nothing about? Is this how much of a plague I am to him? I know this is my fate and I have to accept it no matter how much I try to think about it, but then it still hurts me. I was rejected by my father, the only family I have and the only person that supposed to give me all the love and attention in the world.
'It's not worth it," I try to convince myself, wiping off the tears from my eyes but more keep coming out. How am I supposed to stop myself from crying, when my dad has given me just one gift, the reason to always cry and never be happy? How am I supposed to be fine with all the pains I've been through and the ones I'm yet to go through?
As they say, time flies especially when there's evil ahead of you. It's finally evening and I am still sitting on the spot I have been since I came into the room. I'm too weak to do anything, not even bathing.
A knock sounds on the door and my heart skips as I snap my head to look at the door. Waves of nervousness and fear shoot through me and I gulp down the lump that suddenly formed in my throat.
"Co...coming..." I say in my dry and painful voice, wiping off the tears from my eyes before going to get the door, only to see Madam Leila standing with a tray of food in her hands.
"Hello, Cassie. Can I come in?" She asks with the usual smile on her face and I nod my head blankly, leaving the way for her to come inside.
"I brought you food," She drops the tray on the center table in the room while I stand by the door and watch her. You aren't expecting me to eat the food, are you? I don't even trust them. What if they poison me?
"The food is not poisoned, Cassie. I understand that you're still new here and very scared, but I don't blame you for that. You're just like a child to me, and hurting you is the last thing on my mind. So come over and eat your food," She says to me softly and I freeze on the spot. Wait! Don't tell me she read my thought. Wow! Now, I know that I'm in a very deep mess.
Without protesting, I walk over to the bed and sit down. She serve me the food, not after tasting it to clear my doubt that it wasn't poisoned. Not that I trust her entirely though. Who knows, maybe poison doesn't affect her.
I take my time to eat my food and I must confess that she is a good cook, if the food was made by her.
"Master said that you should wake up early tomorrow. We're traveling," She says and my face drops sadly
"Excuse me," She stands up, and with that, she packs up the plates and strides out of the room. Fresh tears well up in my eyes and soon they find their way out. Does this mean that I'm never going to see my father again? I'm going to miss him. Yeah, I shouldn't be like this considering everything he had done to me, I shouldn't care about him at all considering the pain he had caused me. But even so, I still love him. He's the only family I have, so it's OK to be like this, right? I wish I can see him one more time, I wish I can hug him for once, even if it's also going to be the last time.
I cry my eyes out until there's no water left in my innocent eyes. I manage to put myself to sleep.
The sound of a blaring alarm jolts me out of my deep sleep and I groan tiredly, forcing my eyes open. Since I wasn't the one that set the alarm, I need no one to tell me that it must be from the owner of the house. I check the time and it's still 3am. For heaven's sake, who wakes up by this time of the night?
A knock came on the door and I flinch fearfully. Who could be knocking at this time of the night?
"It's me, Cassie," madam Leila's voice sounds from outside, and I groan tiredly. Standing up from the bed, I walk over to the door and pull it open.
"Master asked me to give you this. You should be ready in less than an hour. His flight is taking off in less than two hours and we should be at the airport soon," She hands me a neatly arranged dress and I take it from her sluggishly, slamming the door afterward.
As much as I want to sleep, I know that'll be the biggest mistake of my life. I drag myself sluggishly into the bathroom to have my bath. I wonder where we are going to, but I'll know when we get there, right?
By the time I arrive downstairs, I meet him dressed already and we head to the damn airport after then. All through the drive to the airport, I couldn't stop thinking about my father and making different wishes that I know very well will never come true. I wish he shows up and save me, I wish he returns all the money to this man and bring me back home, that's the only wish I have. At some point in my life, I wished I could run away from home, I wished I could stay far away from him, and now that I have, it hurts so much.
"We're here," Madam Leila who is sitting next to me in the backseat, whispers to my ear, bringing me back to reality. An hour later, we board the plane and the journey began. I am going to be taken to a place I have never been to, I am going to be taken far away from here. I wonder what fate has in store for me...
