ALPHA TAHIRA
TAHIRA.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Seven held my hands and we both left the prison for the door.
"The door is actually locked." I gasped." How the heck are we even going to find a way out?"
"There's a secret passage you must follow, that's the only way out."
I gasped in disbelief.
"You aren't coming with me?"
"I can't Tahira, I will only follow you till we reach entrance of the passage way,then you can find your way out"
"But I might get killed by wild creatures!! Why will you even leave me half way when you know your way around here!" I yelled at him but he sighed.
"I don't know anyway here, apparently, I discovered the path Yesterday when I was released from my prison. I've overheard the guards repeatedly mentioning it."
"It's useless, I might not survive it in that dark place with evil creature lurking around"
I said heavily as I felt a lump on my throat, I just want to cry in defeat.
"Listen to me Tahira, if your fear overwhelms you then you might never make it out of here. If you want to give up,then I can go back and join you there with misery forever." "That sounds worse." I whined.
"I know, so brace yourself and be prepared to meet anything deadly or worse. I don't know what's in there but I'm sure it's not funny.
So be brave and get the hell out of this place to free me."
He said as I nodded bravely and sighed.
"If you hear me screaming, please don't hesitate to come. I have a phobia for darkness"
I said and he rolled his eyes.
"Peradventure you could Scream blood, I won't come for you cause you need to go out, I would've joined you but like you said, the whole of Seven Pack will hunt me down. Get out Tahira before I change my mind." He said and I smiled at him before facing the dark eerie path that leads to God's nowhere.
I had barely stepped my foot in there when I heard a loud growl.
Good heavens, is this how you hate me?
I retrieved the dagger stuck tightly in my shoes as I scanned around blindly to checkout for the invisible creature.
It stopped howling for a moment and I sighed in relief as I took another step to move when I was blindly thrown upwards and crashed down to the floor.
Damn!!
I crawled back in fear as I faced this fierce looking hyena staring daggers into my eyes with its bright eyes staring brightly into my soul.
I lay still and it lay still also,
I knew it would launch an attack on me any moment from now so I positioned my dagger in such a way that I could pierce its eyes once it attacked.
The creature snapped at once and jumped over me and scratched my back fiercely making me wince in pain. It totally threw me off guard and changed its sense of movement.
I swerved in a flash as the hyena rushed towards me to tear me off but I threw the dagger with all my strength and drove it into its head.

It groaned and stopped for a moment but I rushed towards it and removed the dagger and reached for its eyes.
I stabbed countless times but I suffered a few scratches as my black bled profusely.
I pierced and tore its mouth with a dagger until it became weak and died.
I exhaled in relief and sat on the floor wincing in pain and smirking at my victory.
I grinned in pain and stood up, my wound would definitely heal so I shouldn't be slacking around.
I had barely taken another few steps when I heard a loud bang.
This time around it was louder than an animal and my wolf wailed in torment.
Whatever that is, It isn't something I can do with my ordinary self.
I crouched to the ground to shift to my wolf when I heard some footsteps.
I didn't move from my current position as I waited for the worst to take place. "Tahira?"
That voice called me and I sighed in relief.
I raised my bloody face to stare at him and I saw panic and worry flushed in his face.
"You came late, stupid Prince"
"Are you okay,damn! You're bleeding."
He rushed towards me and examined my pulse and sighed in relief.
"Your mum is dead Aiden, Better tell her not to cross my path cause I'm definitely going to kill her."
"Let's get out of here, she's losing so much Blood."
He said and moved to carry me but I pushed him away.
"I can walk." I seethed and moved towards the dead path of the dead hyena.
"Where are you going Tahira, now is not the time for your games, let's get out of this dangerous place!' Aiden yelled but I kept walking and he had to follow me.
He gasped in shock when he saw the dead hyena and I removed the dagger that was stuck in the eye. Seven had given it to me to protect myself and I was to return it back. The men behind him gasped in awe and examined the hyena.
"It's dead". I blurted out and they all nodded.
"I've killed a lion before, so don't stare at me for a compliment. You should head home before you meet your demise"
"You're so full of yourself, You couldn't defeat a Lycan and you're talking about a Lion, can you please stop being delusional about yourself already?"
I teased and I sighed in frustration.
"You could have just died at the ceremony rather than stressing me out like this with your mockery. I'm done here, you can go banter with other Lycans there."
He uttered and I scoffed, fighting back the pains in my body with every step I made only to crouch to the ground at once.
"My Princess!!" Blue lunged forward and I groaned trying not to fight the pains by standing up but I fell down again, letting it defeat me as I slowly closed my eyes in darkness.
