The Wolf In Me

Chapter 17: What has been and what could be

No One's POV

Lisa closed her eyes and rubbed the bridge of her nose as she could feel a headache begin to form in the base of her skull. It's stressful enough being a 18 year old high school student. Now that she's a werewolf queen and is about to face a war, she felt her stress level go up about a 1000%. This sense of responsibility felt too much to her. She just wanted to be with Jennie and be and actress.

A large part of her just wanted to take Jennie and run. She could feel her instinct to protect her mate kicking in. Forget the bitch, forget the pack, forget the school and just take the only thing important to you and run, a voice deep inside her said.

Just then from deep in her mind she had a vision that seemed to come out of no where. She saw her ancestor, the princess Mina hiding outside the castle. It was a cold night and the dark landscape was illuminated by a blood red moon. She smelled them first as they began to emerge from the forest, it was a horde of vampires.

Looking to the castle, she could hear music and laughter. Mina even managed to pick out the voice of her younger sister, Tzuyu who was only 8 years old. Mina took a step to the castle, almost emerging from the hiding place but then she froze with fear. Tormented with indecision, anguish and fear Mina found herself unable to move or speak.

As they approached the gate, it slowly opened and a figure emerged. Mina could see it was her fathers cousin, Hyungsik. Even in the dim light she could see the evil smile on his face as he opened the gate and walked to the pair of vampires in front. One was a tall male whom she knew as Joongki the head vampire, the other a woman was his consort Hyekyo.

Suddenly, Lisa felt a chill and realized she was standing in the bushes. Kneeling only inches away was Mina. She had raven black hair and looked to be about 17, on her face was an expression of horror but the princess seemed to be unaware of her presence.

"What the fuck." She mumbled as she looked up at the blood red moon. Lisa passed her hand in front of the princess who didn't react. She just kept staring as the traitor stood before the vampires.

Lisa stepped out of the bushes and walked towards the castle. None of the vampires that stood nearby seemed to notice her presence.

The traitor had a smug expression as she stood before Joongki and Hyekyo. They both eyed him with contempt.

"Asshole." Lisa shouted at the traitor, who took no notice of her at all.
