I look away. Closing my eyes as I took deep and steady breaths.
It may be what I’ve always wanted, but I won’t take a life for it. Besides, I was not like her. I don’t hurt people no matter how shitty they are. I will never be like her.
This was my fate and I’m starting to come to terms with it.
Before the villainous woman could say anything else, I shifted back into my wolf form, not bothering to take my clothes off as I just wanted to get out of there. I saw the shock in her eyes and the way her body had stiffened before I turned around and ran away.
I let the cool wind brushing against
Banished. The word echoed in my head like a nightmare, but that’s not even the worst part of it. It’s the fact that River told me he never wanted to see me again. Just a few days ago I was having the best time of my life with him. I was sure that this was where I belonged and believed one day that I was going to start my own family here. Now I was running to my room in tears and as soon as I got there, I started pulling my things out. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe I was just kicked out of my own home while the ones that I considered my family did nothing but stare. The only one that actually bothered to show any kind of compassion was Zane. I could feel his presence near my room, but he didn't come any closer. He can’t. After being banished, no one is allowed to go near them or communicate in any way. It’s a crime punishable by torture. It didn’t seem like a big deal back then because the banished is supposed to be someone so horrible to a fault that you never even want to
I didn’t know where to go at first. I couldn’t stay with the other Packs around the area because not only will it still be much too close to River and the White Howlers, but they will also likely not be so welcoming towards me. So that’s how I ended up here. The airport. Various humans gathered in the area, hustling and bustling to go to wherever their ticket said their destination was. It’s been a while since I’ve been around mostly humans, but it wasn’t anything new to me. Earlier I looked out of place with two large bags, this time I looked just like everyone else. Some even had more. “Hi, where is your destination?” The lady with a wide smile asked just after she finished typing something. I blinked at her unsure. Maybe I should have figured out where I was going before I went to buy a ticket. Stupid. “Um…” My thoughts scrambled in my head thinking of another country and I looked up front, where posters of different continents were plastered on the walls. Asia. Africa
5 Years Later “Good morning, mommy!” My eyes fluttered open and after rubbing them a few times, I saw my little boy standing in front of me. He has a wide smile on, his blue eyes glistening with happiness, and his raven hair with silver streaks an adorable mess at the top of his head. “Good morning, Neo.” I moved closer to him to give a small kiss on his forehead. Neo is my pride and joy. My little boy is growing up so quickly, but watching him grow in front of my very eyes is by far the most heartwarming thing. When I gave birth to him, I knew exactly what his name would be the first time I laid my eyes on him. Neo. It meant ‘new’ in Latin and ever since then he has become the embodiment of a new beginning for me. We may have faced hardships together as not everything is all rainbows and butterflies, but with him by my side, nothing was impossible and we conquered it together. “I made you breakfast!” He said excitedly before placing the wooden tray with pancakes, fruits,
River Colden “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!” I growled in anger before my fist met one of the trees, easily creating a hole in the middle. “That’s the fifth outsider that managed to cross our border this month. If it wasn’t for Aspen, they would have gotten through our stock. How the hell do they keep getting past you and your comrades?!” My anger is getting the better of me and as much as I try to breathe in and out, it’s not working. Nothing’s worked for the past few years especially when we kept getting bombarded in our own home. “We’re sorry, Alpha. It’s just that…” One of the warriors has suddenly gone quiet, biting his lip as if he’s stopping himself from saying something which pisses me off even more. “I don’t have all day, Bjorn! What is it?!” I shout out to him and he flinches, slightly making me feel bad. I wasn’t always like this. I was an Alpha that treated his Pack like my own family, someone I would never belittle. But things are different now. So much m
River Colden I couldn’t explain exactly what I was feeling at that exact moment. There were so many things running around in my head and my emotions were at an all time high. Not only did I kick out a Pack member because of a lie, but my own mate dared to lie to me?! The fucking audacity and the nerve of her to do such a thing. Who knows what she has lied to me about since then and is still lying about to me now? Fuck! I’m so fucking angry that I don’t care that she has guests over. I don’t care if they come back to their Pack and spread news that the Alpha of White Howlers have gotten mad and kicked them out. Right now, all I really wanted was the truth, and nothing but it. I stomped towards the room, the closer I got the louder all their fake and pathetic giggles became too. I’m furious. I’m enraged. With all the problems in the Pack almost somewhat relating to Keira’s leave, I now find out that she really didn’t have to be banished? The anger rising in me can rip a wolf into
River ColdenPresent“River, baby, please. Baby, you love me, right? We love each other. The Moon Goddess gave me you and me to you. We’re meant to be together. This is just a small hiccup in our relationship and everything will be alright, I promise.” Ivy tries to console me with her pitiful expressions.She crawls towards me on the floor and holds onto my legs, hugging it desperately, but I don’t have the patience for this, for her, for what we have and I don’t think I ever will again.She continues to beg while I keep shaking her off my leg. Eventually, I manage to get her off me and she is just sitting down on the floor, crying and pleading, but I know that none of it is true and she is just putting up an act.
River Colden I hear the sound of the door knob being moved around and keys hitting each other. I awoke and quickly realized that someone was opening the door. I can’t think of why they would do that or who in the world was keeping a key to this room, but I don’t have time to think about it any longer. Since I didn’t want anyone to see me here, I jumped off of the bed and ran for the bathroom. Luckily, the person only manages to enter as soon as I am inside and hidden well enough. It must just be one of the tasked wolves to make sure the White Castle is still pristine. I’ll have to escape through the bathroom window before they get to this cleaning area. Carefully and as quietly as possible, I started to walk there, but when I heard a voice coming from inside the room, I immediately stopped. “I’m so tired, K…” That voice… I know that voice. I dig into my mind, trying to decipher and remember why it sounded so familiar. My eyes widened at the realization. It’s Zane. What the
Neo is ecstatic. He’s jumping up and down the bed and running around in his room in a way I’ve never before seen because although he is a young little boy with so much energy, he is more calm and controlled most of the time and I am aware that those are very surprising words to describe a four year old. That all disappeared though the second I told him about his big birthday surprise. “I can’t believe it! The amusement park? Mommy, this is going to be the best birthday ever!” He squeals in happiness for maybe the tenth time this morning. “I’m really happy you like it, baby, but you should thank Auntie Elisha, too. It’s because of her we can go.” I tell him before pulling him down from the bed to brush his hair. He needs to get ready for school and luckily, I have the later shift today so I can drop him off personally. Most times he would have to ride the kindergarten school bus, but sometimes either Elisha and I have the time to bring him. Neo sits down on my lap, but I can s
