“Mom, help me...please...it..hurts. Mom?” One of the pups whimpered while being choked by the silver leash around his bruised neck. It was dark, his face wasn’t visible enough to recognize who he was. As the camera moved to the next one she had her face buried in her hands which made the silver cuffs around her bloody wrist visible. She couldn't speak, all they could hear was the sound  of her soft cries.

“See dear wolf king? That’s what you get for trespassing MY territory, these pups are going to die. That’s what they deserve, these filthy creatures.” A man with dark features and pure evilness reflecting through his eyes, a big sharp nose and his thin lips lined to the side as he smirked appeared on the screen.

“HOW DARE HE?!” The king stood up from his chair his blue and red eyes flashing with anger. The rage he had been holding in finally came out after he saw the Coyote king.

The frame became wide and they could see the pups lined up against the wall, chained, cuffed and leashed with silver. Some of them were crying, some were still struggling, some of them had given up and were just quiet and bearing the pain, several were passed out maybe even dead. All they could here was cries and sniffles of children, along with the laughs of the coyotes, enjoying torturing children.

“Dad, we have to help them... we have to rescue them, we have to do something, I can’t watch this anymore please stop the video!” Hannah said while trying hard not to break down in front of her father, mother, the alphas and their betas because she was the princess, she has to be strong. She was thinking about all the pups who used to run around her whenever she went out for a walk or run in the palace garden, Seth, Kate, Emma, and Jeremy among many others, their face flashing in front of her eyes as she thought about them.

Dad will save them, nothing is going to happen to them, she tried to calm herself.

“Your Highness!” One of the werewolf messengers Hannah recognized from the official gatherings barged in. “There were bodies ...of the pups found along with the bus near the border.” His voice cracked as he reported.

“NOOO-” Hannah woke up screaming drenched in sweat. She didn't even open her eyes yet, all she could do was scream her lungs out. She wanted to stop, she wanted to open her eyes and come back to the present but she couldn't.

“Calm down, it’s okay... it’s okay,” A woman tried to hold her down and calm her.

Hannah finally could open her eyes as she felt another's hand on her shoulder holding her down. The roof of the room was unfamiliar, the scent of the room was unfamiliar, the scent of the woman, she remembers from somewhere, Hannah was sure that she was a werewolf but why was it a familiar scent?

Suddenly, last night flashed through her mind. Ohh, yeah I’m in Seoul right now, she realized, finally.

“Are you fine Your Highness?” The woman asked, How did she know that I’m a royal when there are still 2 days for the pills to wear off? Hannah thought as she tried to quickly get up but failed as her head was dizzy. The woman helped Hannah to sit up, “How did you know I’m a royal?” Hannah asked as she looked at the woman’s bright smiling face for the first time.

“I changed your clothes because you were drenched from head to toe as you passed out last night, so the royal tiara birthmark on your right collarbone gave it away,” she smiled brightly. “By the way I’m Kyungmi.”

“I’m Hannah.” Hannah couldn't help but reply with a warm smile of her’s.

“I’ve made you some soup, if you feel like having it just tell me.” Kyungmi said while getting up from the bed. “There are some clothes on the couch, feel free to get up, use the bathroom and change. Take a warm bath maybe? But it’s totally your choice I mean. Uhh... I should go before this gets more awkward, I’ll be just down the hall in the kitchen or the lounge. ” Kyungmi closed the door while going out of the room.

Hannah took a deep breath and closed her eyes trying to mentally prepare herself to adjust to the new life, new country and new people. Cinnamon...mmm. She smelled cinnamon in the room, she couldn't help but keep on sniffing the air. Why is this smell so sweet and good?

The room’s door opened. “Uhh, I forgot to ask if you needed help with anything? I mean to know where the stuff is. You can totally feel like home here. Just consider it as your home. I mean if you want to I’m not forcing or anything... here I go again with the awkwardness. I’ll be outside in the kitchen for sure this time.” Kyungmi sighed and closed the door again. What’s wrong with me? She cursed herself while closing the door behind her.

Hannah couldn’t help but smile at Kyungmi, she pulled off the sheets, got out of the bed and stretched her body. She looked around, the feeling of safety embracing her. This room surely belongs to a guy. She thought as she looked around the room which was simple, but yet elegant. The room had a black anterior, with minimum decorations, no pictures or paintings on the wall and a single full length mirror, on the opposite wall of the bed.

Nonetheless, she walked around and closed the blinds, and unraveled the curtain. If I change into wolf form nobody would notice right? She wanted to feel selfish for just a minute. She watched herself go on all fours, and turn into to a beautiful regal wolf. She looked at herself in the only mirror in the room, snorting.

She looked like her mom. Her fur was white as snow, the colored fur all royals boast in, but also the very thing that can get herself killed. She then looked at her eyes. Her unique, gorgeous eyes. Royalty-born werewolves always had two different colored eyes, hers being a striking blue from her dad and a deep, soulful violet from her mom. Her eyes reminded her of her family back in the United States. Anxiety began to well up inside her again and the memory of the dead pups flashed in her mind.

Hannah decided to take Kyungmi’s advice and take a warm bath. She turned back into her human form and stared at herself one more time in the mirror. Her reflection revealing a pretty, young girl with wavy, light brown hair, luscious lips, a button nose, two finely shaped eyebrows, and a brown pair of human eyes which were staring back at her. She remembered her mother telling her stories about her ancestors and how they adapted to the human world; They learnt how to keep their wolf’s eyes hidden, control their rage on small things, and keep their heart rate and body temperature normal. How they swore to protect the humans to their ancestors as she did to her’s. The royals along with their respective alphas are meant to protect the humans from all the other supernatural creatures, since werewolves are the only ones that are closest to be called humans from the their way of living. For example attending school, doing random jobs, werewolves do it all to exist alongside the humans as their silent saviors.
