The Gift chronicles
Book 1 Chapter 1
I woke up at 4 am, same as every day.
it was the prime time to sneak out of my pack's borders.
exit the territory through a patch of forest that the guards do not guard at 4:30 a.m.
I know that they don't guard that piece of land because I am the pack Gamma, the one in charge of training the guards, and also happen to make the schedule of perimeter sweeps.
I pulled up the black mask up to right before my eyes opened, which effectively covered half of my face.
I drank a smoothie made of 4 raw eggs, kale, and wolfsbane.
building up my immunity by drinking a little bit of it each day.
being immune from the effects of wolfsbane was my little secret.
I chugged down the smoothie, grimacing at the acidic taste of the wolfsbane.
I could feel my wolf growling at me from inside in anger.
She is such a bitch.
I walk out of the territory, and deeper into the heavily rogue—populated forest.
When I first began sneaking out to kill rogues, I was ten years old.
Now, at age 18, the unclaimed land was less populated with rogues.
Many have heard rumors of a demon who comes in the early hours of the morning and kills rogues without a second glance.
Some are still brave enough to try to live here, because if they can remain undetected by me, they can live on a land with few other rogues, which would be ideal for them.
Rogues don't tend to like other rogues, and fighting for resources is often a source of conflict for them.
As I turn around to start walking back to my pack’s territory, I hear a branch break from about 1000 feet from my left.
My extremely acute sense of hearing never let me down.
I turned to my left, and without hesitating, flicked my wrist and summoned a dagger.
Ah yes.
Daggers were my weapon of choice.
I preferred the intimacy of killing someone up close.
I heard a yell of pain, and sprinted after my dagger.
Sure enough, 1000 feet away, a male about the age of 25 was withering in pain on the ground.
