The Beautiful Wolf novel Chapter 1

*MELENA**

It's been ten years since I shifted into my second form, so I have forgotten what my human body used to look like.

I was twelve when I was last within my human form. It was also the day I not only became an orphan but also a packless wolf.

On that blood-curdling day, I swore to myself that I would never show my human form to anyone, and so I never shifted again, always remaining in my wolf form.

Hot tears filled my eyes as I recalled the death of my parents and the end of my pack.

Tormented by guilt for being the cause of their death, I wished I had never been born or had died at birth.

"Why did you give me this beautiful human form if it only causes destruction?" I yelled at the sky, angrily at the moon goddess.

Having such a rare, ethereal appearance, I couldn't walk around in my human form without men trying to claim me or fight for me.

"I hate myself, and I hate you too, moon goddess!" I again screamed in anger.

I screamed until my throat felt sore and my voice sounded hoarse.

Lying within a cave within the forest, which has been my home for the past ten years. I wished on the day I'd lost everyone that I had allowed the alpha to have his way with me. If I had done so, my parents and the entire pack would still be alive.

Why didn't I think of that before that terrible incident occurred?

"Stupid wolf," I bang my head against the hard walls of the dark cave.

I feel a throbbing pain, but what I felt inside was much worse. There was no pain within this world that could measure up to it.

I wish I were not alive and my parents and the entire pack were. I whined softly within the dirty cave.

The scent of the cave smelled old and frowsty, but it didn't compare to my horrid scent. I have not taken a bath throughout these years after the hellacious incident. There was no need to anyway. This cursed body doesn't need to be taken care of, because of it, my pack went extinct.

Whatever goes inside it, I don't care either. It doesn't deserve a proper meal, even though I will never receive a decent one.
