That's who I choose.

I heard the story of a red riding hood a fairy tale of a girl wearing a red cloak that meets a big bad wolf… I know my story isn't similar but I just felt like it did,I was just an innocent princess when I encountered Tyler for the first time that night he was in my room,I wanted to be a red riding hood,I wish to start a new life as a hunter in this village but what if Tyler caught me but not in a red cloak.

" You want to wear a red and go around town,Sweet…. Alice smiled.

" You think….

" Yes now tell me how are you feeling ?????

" I feel less pains now in my bones, Thanks to the stuff you did there…..

" Ah am happy you feel okay, I remember when my grandson brought you here,I felt bad most of your bones were broken and I felt bad, Lincoln couldn't rest he searched for all the herbs his hands can get on and his friend Micah even travelled to get you an antidote from Trivestone pack….

Trivestone pack the name pooped to my head,My home .. My pack.. My family,My mind went to my mother she didn't show her love for me but shower it more on jewelry but every mother wouldn't want to loose her daughter, What was she doing right now…

The queen of Trivestone sat on her daughter's bed weeping and wailing…

" I failed as a mother I accept it but please come back home,I can take you elsewhere please….. The queen kept trying the mind link but it wouldn't work.

** The unknown village**

I sat alone in this room I have been these days, Then I imagine myself in a red cloak on a horse and hunting for anything I wanted to find. Being a princess is excellent and all those cool stuffs but I wasn't satisfied with that…I remember when I was a kid one day I went to a high mountain and prayed to the moon goodess and I prayed that I could swap identity with someone else,It was the time my father and my mother were fighting. They had multiple fights which was abusive about multiple times,I remember it was because of their past.. My father was in love with someone else, She was a commoner and Royals were forbidden to choose commoners as mates.

When my father was a young wolf he told me his love story with a healer she was from blackwood pack and he would transport all the way from Trivestone to meet her and when he was asked to marry my mother he couldn't disobey the rules of his pack so he gave in and married my mother,It wasn't a marriage out of love,My father was sober and told his ten years old daughter this devastating story, How on earth was I going to accept my fate as a second born princess,In other for us to meet second born royals we were sent to a camp ,In that camp a mate is chosen for us,It was now clear why my father didn't want to me to attend the camp he already had plans for me,It was Tyler..

Alice was mashing herbs when Micah and Lincoln walked in i,Micah was a close friend to Lincoln,He was a hybrid and he had no family he thought Lincoln all the skills in hunting and being spies, It was forbidden to cross the five rivers for Alice,She would scold them when she hear about them hunting across the rivers but when Lincoln sets his mind on a goal he is set to achieve it. Lincoln did multiple jobs to feed and clothe himself and his grandma jobs,He did jobs like merchandise, Hunting,Spy jobs and sometimes he sells his grandma herbs in different faraway market some days he doesn't come home for days.

" Grandma…. Micah hugged Alice.

" My boy… you look handsome today even lily will not believe she's your lover, Alice teased.

" Am here too… Lincoln cleared his throat.

" Get your self a lover and you will receive my praises….

Here it wasn't a mate it was a lover, They were different I thought to myself as u eavesdrop through the window.

" Why is she spying on us ???? Lincoln eyes and mine met. Lincoln was handsome I most admit he was about 6'3" and he has broad shoulders,He was insanely handsome,His biceps and muscles was visible i could see it through the window that it was really good biceps, Then I thought of Temple's reaction if she had seen this.

" He's coming this way, He's coming this way,I said and I lay on my bed and covered myself with a bedsheet.

" Is she asleep???? I heard someone say.

" No she isn't I saw her eavesdrop on us,I heard Lincoln say.

" You two are smelly get clean, Alice pushed the boys outside. She came in with food and it was just fruits, Fruits….. seriously I was a foodie how am I going survive on fruits.

" I brought you something to eat,Sit up…

" Leave it there,I said. I felt like I was being rude so I cleared my throat and brought out my face from the bedsheet.

" Thank you for the food,Uhmmm but I was thinking…

" Lincoln brought meat and some bread so you can eat that later,I was hoping you join us outside later… You have been inside this room for a long long time,I only wash your face legs and hand so you need fresh air and I can tell Lincoln and Micah to help with your room you can wash up at the stream earlier if you are not comfortable with people but not to worry I will always go with you, Alice smiled. She was too kind how can she just let a stranger stay with them and yet she's so comfortable with me around and then I remembered what my mother told me about the enemies camp,What if I was in the enemies camp but this wasn't like one,I felt at peace here and I wanted to be at peace.

" So should I call you the red riding hood since that's what you want to be here….

" Red riding hood,I laughed..

" Yes you said that's what you want to be… Alice was nothing like a old lady she was full of life I guessed she was so beautiful when she was in her youthful days she still pretty I jealous her,My grandma was a little scary when she was old.
