The Blood Bath

  My eyes snapped open but everywhere was dark. So, dark that I could slice it with a knife.

  I tried to rub my face but then, I felt a sticky liquid run down my face the moment I wiped my face downward.

  The liquid flows down from my face and lands on my lips. Slowly, entering my mouth.

  My eye lid fluttered upwards. Blood.

  My brain was fast to have it processed. I needed to find the switch. I need to know where I was.

  My heart beat fast against my rib cage. My head swelled as I tried to stand up but then I slipped again.

  I crashed into an unseen metal and I landed with a great thud. I banged my head so hard that I shut my eyes in pain.

  It was quite unbearable.

  My hair was soaked. It was soaked with something that smelled like blood.

  I tried to sit up but then, flashes of the night came into my head. Flooding my thoughts like cameras.

  I was at the mate ceremony smiling and waving my hands and the next...

  Blank!

  Nothing.

  I didn't remember. " Oh my god!" I let out getting to my feet. My hands ran over the wall as I tried to find the switch.

  It was the only thing that came to my mind. The moment my hand found it. I prayed shutting my eyes. Hoping this was some prank.

  [ Clank! ]

  My eyes were shut the moment the light came on. It hurts, I don't know how long I had been I total darkness for.

  I tried to shield my eyes from the light but then, my gaze landed on the table me in front of me. There sat, a knife covered in something that looks like blood.

  My heart beat fast. My breath was etched in my throat and my feet felt jittery.

  It as like a bad dream that I needed to wake up from. I shut my eyes again and when I opened it, it was gone a flash.

  I inhale and exhale sharply.

  But then, my gaze caught the paintings on the wall. They were covered in red.

  I looked at me hands and I shouted. I immediately covered my mouth.

  " Oh god! What did I do?" I let out in pain.

  The walls were now decorated with the bloods in my palm. The white walls were drenched and covered in them.

  Then, my eyes rolled to the body on the floor not too far from me.

  I tried to recognise who it was but the face was unrecognisable.

  Who?

  That was the first thing that came to my mind. Whose body was laying on the floor in front of me.

  My leg trembled, my feets felt like they were rooted to a spot. I remembered that I was supposed to be getting married to Jaden.

  He was the son of the Alpha of the pack and even though he never loved me, his father had commanded that we marry.

  I shut my eyes again. Hoping the body would disappear the same way the knife did.

  Hoping all of this was a bad dream. A dream that I needed to wake up from.

  I shut my eyes inhaling and exhaling slowly. I tried to calm myself teling myself it was all a bad dream.

  But when I opened it again, in front of me was the body I wished it had vanished.

  I fell to the floor sobbing. My head clasped in my hands.

  I remembered my mother telling me I needed to be caged when I wanted to wolf out.

  I don't know why and I never bothered to ask.

  Did I do this?

  I was not supposed to wolf out until my twentieth birthday which was supposed to be happening in the next twenty four hours after my mate ceremony.

  Tears rolled down my cheek. I don't need to be told the penalty for what I had done.

  But that was only if I had done it. I don't remember killing anyone let alone getting into the room with this strange body.

  Then I booted. My brain functioning so fast that I got up on my feet.

  I needed to see the body. I needed to know who it was that I had killed. My heart banged so loud that I felt suffocated.

  I could barely breathe. All I did was hope and prayed the body was not an elite wolf in the society.

  But when I got closer, I could not see the face clearly. The tear had my eyes blurry but my eyes caught something.

  Something that made me nearly went insane. It was a ring. A sigil of the Alpha.

  Omg!

  Did I just killed Jaden's father?

  I fell to be ground, feeling the ground should open up and swallowe whole.

  I could hear the loud music playing downstairs. The people were still around. The journalist, the vendors and of course pack elders.

  Most of them had gathered to witness the day we were bonded.

  I rushed to my feet and ran into the bathroom after making sure I had shut the door.

  The water ran through clothes entering my body as the blood of my victim flowed into the hole in front of me.

  I tried to think. To remember if I really did it but nothing as coming to me.

  I remembered the look on my mother's face. She was proud of me. I knew what was going to happen to her, to me, the moment this got out.

  This was too much for me to bear. I simply hoped that I could die. That I was never betrothed to someone like Jaden.

  Walking out of the bathroom, I could still see the body of the man I didn't remember killing.

  I fell to the floor once more hoping, wishing all of this was a bad dream but it was not.

  My heart slammed against my rib cage when I heard the sound of a knock at the door.

  " Open up!" someone shouted from behind.
