DARYA P.O.V

December 2010,

MY PAPA, Marvin, Third-in-command of Regal pack was killed. He had gone with the Alpha, Frank Norwood, to the Elegance Pack territory, now occupied by the rogues, to avenge the Alpha heir’s death. Mom was devastated and I didn’t know how to help her.

February 2010,

I joined gymnastics class.

November 2011,

It was my eleventh birthday and the first one without my papa beside me. That night, I also shifted into my wolf for the first time. I am a huge black wolf with red eyes. I don’t know why I shifted but I do know that my whole body was in pain after that shift. I was also scared that I would remain in my wolf form for the rest of my life when I couldn’t shift back on my own.

August 2012,

I learnt I could control the element Earth. The plants, the trees would move as I wanted them to. The ground could crack or even form a wall, if I wanted it to. I was happy to receive that gift from Mother Nature. But it was also the first time I watched someone dying right in front of me.

December 2012,

I came to know I was adopted. The ones who I called mom and papa were not my parents at all. I was named after my biological mother who died while giving birth to me. My whole life so far seems like a big fat lie.

January 2013,

I joined Hampton’s Boarding School, in Supreme Pack.

February 2013,

I came to know I was an Alpha’s daughter. Alpha Abraham Rhoades of Emperor Pack. I also came to know I had an elder brother. I called my biological father and told him the truth. I was delighted when he asked me to meet him.

When I did go to meet him, he attacked me and Tyson, killed him. I came to know who O was. It was also the same day I learnt everything that happened to Elegance Pack.

My brother, Duncan Rhoades took over as the Alpha of Emperor Pack. He came to Supreme pack, where I met him for the first time. He was mated to my Alpha, Seline Norwood.

When he came to know I was his sister, he took me and my mom to Emperor Pack and introduced me as his sister to everyone in his pack. I loved my brother at that very moment.

Also, met Vernon, my brother’s third-in-command, for the first time. Gosh! He is so cute.

I got kidnapped by Isadora Hampton. She told me about Konrad, the boy she created to kill me. The one who also killed Alpha Peter. Isadora was killed by Sunny (Cortez Moreland) and I made the decision to fight against Konrad.

May 2013,

I had gone to Moreland Pack for a lunch. The Luna of Moreland Pack, Malory Timbs, was attacked by Konrad that very day. It was the first time I saw Konrad and the first time I lost control to my wolf.

December 2013,

My second gift, water kicked in. A week later, Sel and Duncan got married. Duncan stated I start my training and Granel is my first trainer. God! The training is exhausting.

March 2014,

Granel Hampton and Raven got married.

Tyler and Vanessa had twins. Boy and a girl named Bryan and Blodwen. They are super cute.

April 2014,

I was sitting alone in the park, when I got attacked by two rogues sent by Konrad. My guards were able to kill them both.

I realized Vernon looks at me like I am a child. That hurt so much!

July 2014,

The first time I spoke to Konrad. He came to have a small chat with me. He said he would disturb my peace of mind and the kill me, with the sword others like me were killed. I said I would enjoy proving him wrong every single time and that I would kill him with the very same sword he always carries with him.

October 2014,

Raven’s daughter was named Severina. Her hair is the exact shade as her mother’s.

Tyson took over my training and every weekend, I go to Regal pack for it. I also learned how to hack into someone’s computer accounts from him.

March 2015,

A girl named Sanity, one of Konrad’s aid attacked me with a Kerambit. It passed through my mom’s throat and before leaving, Sanity said that she never misses her target. Nothing I did could save my mom. I lost my mom that day.

April 2015,

Duncan became my legal guardian.

September 2015,

Seline delivered a baby boy- Lorcan. I fell in love with my nephew the minute I saw him. Everyone started calling Lorcan- baby bear.

December 2015,

Tyler started training me. Since Sel was busy taking care of baby Lorcan, Tyler took over the job. I go to Grier Pack every weekend for the training.

January 2016,

My third element, air kicked in. I could run faster than a wind.  Tyson Grier and Piper got married.

I also learnt that Konrad could disappear like a smoke. Become invisible.

May 2016,

Konrad once again came to have a little chat, while I was shopping. Before leaving, he hypnotized a she-wolf from my pack, who attacked me. I could take her down and after a day, she snapped out of her trance.

Tyson and Piper had a baby boy, Caden. This one is a very healthy baby and he had already kicked his doctor twice in the face.

June 2016,

Cortez Moreland and Malory got married. I had stopped calling him Sunny because I knew he liked his real identity.

February 2017,

I won the best student of the year for my outstanding bravery act for saving seventeen of my schoolmates when the east wing of the school caught fire. I also made new friends. My high school year was coming to an end.

November 2017,

A day after my birthday, I was in the car with my guard at the petrol bank. One of Konrad’s aids burnt my car. My guard died but I survived. It was the day I learnt I could control fire.

Cortez Moreland started training me and I go every odd day to Moreland pack. Cortez isn’t friendly with me during the training. He is very harsh.

December 2017,

Cortez Moreland and Malory’s baby girl was named Gloriana, the day she was born. God! Glory is tiny and as light as a feather, but she is beautiful, very beautiful just like her mother.

I started my own horticulture business even before I completed the course. I also got my first client for pot-pourri.

April 2018,

Konrad came back for his chat. The chat ended with me breaking one of his swords into pieces and him promising to torture me some more.

October 2018,

After investigating about Konrad’s aids I found that one of them actually does have a heart.

My training with Cortez ended and I realized that even though he was harsh, it was only for my benefit. I actually became quite good in physical fighting now.

Duncan started training me.

July 2019,

Raven and Granel had their second child, a boy whom they named, Samuel. Sam sleeps a lot and it was ten days after his birth that I was finally able to see him with his eyes open.

August 2019,

I was attacked while I was returning from Regal pack. Three she-wolves and I killed all three of them because they tried to kidnap Lorcan.

September 2019,

Konrad told me that he had planned different ways to kill my nephew. I lost control and burned half of my farm. I also attacked Sanity and cut half of her left ear.

It was the day I realized why the Alpha’s kept four guards for me. They kept them because they didn’t want me fighting as I tend to lose control and destroy everything around me. My gift is dangerous to others welfare if I don’t know how to use it effectively.

January 2020,

Konrad’s aids, Cable and Rick, attacked me. I got electrocuted while I touched the steering wheel. I lost conscious.

February 2020,

I woke up after being in coma for twenty three days. I survived only because I could control the last element, sky.

A week after being discharged from the hospital, I began hunting for Rick. Enough was enough! It’s time that I start fighting back.

June 2020,

Piper, Tyson’s mate had a miscarriage after she was attacked by Cable.

The very same month, I went to a sleazy club as a pole dancer to kill the rogue who was involved in getting me electrocuted.

August 2020,

My training came to an end. To make the event a special, a fight was organized in Elegance Pack, where Cortez had had a large arena built few years ago. Wolves from five packs, who were trained by anyone of these Alpha’s were asked to challenge them. None won. In the end, I decided to challenge the five Alphas’. I won fair and square but I didn’t feel happy after winning. The Alphas’ were overjoyed I won, but I felt terrible because they are the ones who had taught me to fight. I didn’t like defeating my teachers and so, I knelt on the ground and bowed my head to surrender myself. However, everyone was proud of me and they didn’t seem to care if I defeated my trainers.

October 2020,

After lunch, I was waiting for Nick, my guard outside of the restaurant, when a teenage boy came and smacked my butt. The fucker had the audacity to wink at me. I punched and knocked him out. Nick told me that he is the younger brother of Quillon Sanders, Alpha of Serene Pack.
