I was suffocating in the confines of my own home, trapped by my mother's relentless pressure to marry the Alpha of our pack—a man three times my age. I tried reasoning with her, pleading for the freedom to choose my own path, but she remained deaf to my words."Why can't I have a say in my own future, Mom? Why am I being forced into this?" My voice trembled with a blend of frustration and anxiety."Tradition, Zelda.

My outburst echoed through the room, a wave of frustration and anger bursting forth.My mother's eyes widened in

As I sat up in bed, I noticed a note and a large sum of money on the nightstand. "I had a good night, whore," the note read. My anger boiled over at the insult, but I couldn't even remember who I had been with.

I felt a weight on my chest and looked down to see a drip connected to my arm. The medicine flowed into my body, numbing the pain and making me feel drowsy.As I looked around the room, I saw my parents sitting in plastic chairs by the window. Their faces were stern and unforgiving, and I knew that I was in trouble. They started scolding me the moment they saw me wake up."How could you do this to us, honey?" my mother exclaimed, her voice filled with disappointment. "Getting pregnant out of wedlock?
