Chapter 4

Roselyn

The cloud rumbled and the rain increased, it was beginning to get flooded and I was getting so cold, my entire body was drenched in rain but I kept moving.

There was no need for all of this, my life had been miserable since I was born and it was not going to get any better, my mate abandoned me to go be with my best friend. I can barely feel that I am a wolf.

I walked through the open road which led to the woods. I had no idea where I was headed, it was dark and everywhere looked creepy.

There was no need to look for a way out of this mess. I could just end it so I no longer have to feel the pain of rejection because I know that everywhere I go I would still be rejected, I cannot go rogue, I do not have my wolf yet.

I looked around, I was walking on the bridge. I could go into the woods and get killed by some animals, it would be good or maybe I could jump off this bridge and end my life.

I fell to the ground crying, no one deserved to go through all the pain that I had gone through. I held up my knees and I sat on the side of the road.

The pain of rejection stuck in my heart, I wanted it to go away.

I looked down at the bridge, it was high and I would surely die from it.

This is your chance, Roselyn, end this pain now. I stood on my feet and held onto the rail of the bridge.

I closed my eyes and took deep breaths.

“This is for the best, the moon goddess made a mistake bringing you to the world.“ tears fell from my eyes, and I let go of the rail and fell.

The beeping sound of a monitor woke me from my slumber, my eyes were weak and my vision was blurry. I could barely make out what I saw.

Was I finally dead? I questioned myself.

“She’s waking up.” The voice of a female said and suddenly a few people clustered around me, I could hear and I could feel but my sight was too blurry to make out what their faces looked like, they were in white dresses so it was only fair that I believed I was in heaven.

“She’s awake, check her vitals.” A male voice blurted out and immediately they started touching me, checking my eyes and my body.

I was in a hospital, I got saved by someone.

“How do you feel, hello, can you hear me?” I gave a light grunt and I nodded softly.

I made a move to sit up and the nurses around helped me sit up right on the bed.

“How do you feel?” I could finally make out some faces.

“My head hurts.”

“Her vitals are normal.”

“She looks okay.”

“What am I doing here?” I asked, touching my head as I tried to recall what had happened after I jumped off the bridge.

“You should be lucky you were saved by this lovely couple and brought here on time.” He looked at me with a bit of disgust in his eyes, why wouldn’t he, I had tried to end my own life.

“I’ll let the couple come in to see you and when the test results are out I’ll let you know when you can get discharged.” With that, the doctor walked out of the ward and after the nurses had done whatever they did to the monitor, they walked out of the room leaving me all alone.

I sat in there for a while thinking about how messed up I was.

“Roselyn you tried to end your life?” I questioned myself as I sat in the room soliloquizing, the door of the hospital room opened and a lady with brown, a beautiful face, looked like she was in her early fifties.

“Hey dear.” She had a pleasant smile on her face.

“Can we come in?” I nodded and she pushed the door open and a not so older man walked into the room.

They both looked beautiful together.

“How are you doing?” The lady sat right beside my bed and she asked.

“I’m doing well.” I noticed the man hadn’t said a word to me since he got into the room, only his wife spoke.

“Dear, we are glad you're safe now. We don’t know why you wanted to end your life but we are happy you were given a chance. Everyone deserves a chance at life.” She held my hand as I lay on the bed.

“Thank you so much.” I wiped my eyes.

“My pleasure dear.”

“Not everyone thinks people deserve a second chance.” I cried so bad. I didn’t want to cry but I had no choice.

“Even the worst of people deserve a second chance after their repentance, girl.” The voice of the man came, I turned to where he stood, he had a blank face and a bit of grayish hair, and his words did carry a lot of weight.

“Love yourself. I’ll be out, I’ll give you two some time to speak. I hope you get better.” He finally gave a smile and immediately walked out of the room.

“Do you mind sharing?” I blinked my eyes to take back the tears. I had cried so much and it would make them think I was vulnerable. Yes, I was.

I dug my hand in my hair, ruffling it when she stopped my hand.

“What’s on your hand?” She was asking about the birthmark I had on the side of my hand.

I rolled my eyes, it was not the first time someone was asking me something about it.

“It’s a birthmark.”

“Oh really?” She asked and I nodded.

“Yeah, it’s one of the many things that remind me that I don’t have a pack.”

“What does that mean?”

“I don’t have a pack. I was found by the borders of the Rabid Shadow Pack when I was little.

All I know about my pack is this little pendant.” I took the pendant out of my neck and I showed it to her. If I was going to tell her a lot about me then I would start from where I was abandoned by my family, there was nothing to hide, after all, they were kind enough to save me, unlike the one who is my mate.

“Can I see that?” She squinted her eyes and I nodded then took it completely from my neck.

“The Red Crystal.” She gasped.

“Roselyn?”

“Yes, that’s my name. That's the name seen at the back of the pendant and the caretaker had me keep it for remembrance. She said it would help me find my family. Do you know which pack this belongs to?” Her mouth was wide open and she looked at the pendant for a while, her eyes went up to me scrutinizing me like I was some sort of book.

“Roselyn Black.” She gasped and her eyes said it all, she knew me.

“Do you know me?” I asked.

“The BirthMark, the Crystal.”

“If I am not mistaken, Dear, then you are my daughter.” She said and now it was my turn to gasp.

“What?”

“Darren, Darling please come in here.” She called for her husband.
