I got to the entrance door. My whole body went stiff that I couldn't even move again till one of the guards slapped me... "Don't you dare waste our time!" He scowled and I sniffed back my tears, the door was opened and everyone turned their gaze to me, all the Royal members were present with some Alphas from other neighboring packs, they were up to seven in numbers.
It seems we are doomed!" I heard my wolf sigh in the most devastating tone. I couldn't even reply to her, I couldn't even say any other word, I just pulled into a red gown and wore my slippers which were visibly worn out and outdated... My eyes flashed to the mirror making me bite my lower lips in pain, the different colored eyes aren't fading instead they seemed to be becoming more brighter... What sort of mystery is this?? I followed the guards who gave me a wide gap with those disgusting stares. That isn't my problem. What is going to happen to me in the palace today? "What is going to happen please??.." I whimpered to myself drawing my feet further, just then, my gaze fell on a sorcerer, and then I knew what it was again... My lips quivered with both hands clutched tightly, my legs were so weak to carry me further, I paused my pace knowing fully well that I will fall if I take another step. The is the most painful moment of a werewolf, the use of the wolfsbane in checking if there is a demon in a werewolf. The concoction is made only by the sorcerer, they add other unknown substances, once the werewolf takes the mixture, he or she would pass through heartbreaking pain, it would seem like life was oozing away, every bone would be cracked, the muscles would be pierced, every part of the body would be on fire, if the werewolf has a demon in them, they would turn into the form I'm half a minute... I had passed through this pain three times and hadn't changed to any demon, why again?? One of the guards pushed me forcefully and I fell to the ground in the middle of the hall, just everyone had disgusting countenance spread over their faces... "Hello, everyone, here is she, the killer of the most beautiful and powerful Luna In the history of our pack, she was a strong woman and fought side by side with me, her first pregnancy caused her death, she wasn't aware of the demon in her belly, I would doubt that she is the killer if there was no difference in her eyes, it only means she is something else!" The strong voice of the alpha resounded in the whole building with an aura of authority and power. Everyone listened with silence! "Just today, I decide once again to check her real identity, she nearly blinds my second Luna's eyes and claimed it was unintentionally, I'm being quite afraid that she may one day shift into that demon in her and cause havoc among my household..." He paused and glanced at me, I was also staring at him with tears blinding my eyes but it seemed like my tears were fuel to his anger as he growled more angrily instead of getting soft. "My wife had recommended a new sorcerer to check on her, she isn't like the former ones, I have heard some good history of her and won't doubt her words, she had been a sorcerer for many years...we use this medium to invite her over so she can clear our doubt on who she is..." He growled the last part gesturing at me... I shifted my gaze to the woman who would be In her late sixty, she was dressed in a red robe and had her concoction in her palm, the scent was already getting to my nostril making me cry the more... I can remember the pains from the past ones and wished not to pass through it again but it seems my prayer isn't going to be answered today because she was already walking close to me. "What is your name?" she asked peering into my eyes. "Layla..." I replied quickly with a hiccup. "What is your full name?" she gruffed with a higher tone. I glanced at my dad and saw his deep frown, it made my heart shatter. Is this man my father?? "I'm Layla Kellen.." I replied with the surname sounding weird on my lips, it has been a long I mentioned that... "Tell us who you are, if you don't know then tell us all what had been your dreams like who had been appearing to you, the voice you had been hearing, it would make me decipher the kind of demon in you but if you refuse to spit it then, you will have to drink this and you know what pain you would be passing through.." the woman stated with those strong tones and straight gaze at my strange eyes. I was forced to scoff at her questions, I was just forced to even sneer at her, she just looked stupid to me... "No one appears to me in my dream, you want to know my dreams, then think about how it feels to be rejected, yes, my dreams is full of pains, I keep seeing my father and everyone hitting and treating me like a slave, as for voice talking to me, it's only my wolf, she is the only one I hear the voice, just stop those stupid questions!" I huffed getting so pissed up... I don't even know where the courage came from. "You suddenly got a wagging tongue??...
Guards!!!" my father called out, he was surely going to order them beat me... "Wait, there is no need for that, the demon in her would surely be furious to see me, so he put the courage in her, my substance would show it to you all..." She gloated and I felt angrier and wish I can slap the hell out of her... She was just so sure it would work on me, like seriously?? "Hand it to me!" I scoffed and took it... It would only send pains all over me but won't kill me and...I am not a demon so I got no fear! Without hesitation, I gulped the whole bitter substance into my belly, before I felt blurry as the pain came in, I caught a glimpse of the huge smirk on her face as I drank it all....
