TRIVIA'S POV.

My body shook while I stood to my feets, the door pushed open right on cue, and Erebus made his way into the room. He glanced around and saw the situation. The first thing he had done was whisk Isabella  into his grasps.

He pressed his lips against hers, both lost in their own world while mine got broken at every minute. I couldn't bear the pain anymore; it was fucking tearing me apart.

“How dare you both?!” I yelled at the top of my voice, anger seeping into me. I saw them both happily kissing, while Erebus placed his palms on Sheila's belly and a smile settled in  on his face. I knew at the moment that love was nothing but a scam. A weakness. It was all a waste—my years of putting the things I loved together, all through bearing the pain and pushing forth in a toxic marriage. All of it was a bloody waste.

“Keep  your voice down; you will harm the baby,” Erebus asserted. I saw Sheila, beaming with smiles even after she ruined my life—a sly fox she had been, a cunning wolf.

“You should be the one with the fucking voice down, Erebus! How dare you have an affair with her! She was meant to be my best friend?” He pulled closer to me in an attempt this time to hit my face, but I didn't fidget nor have a word said,. I remained fixed on my stance, glaring at him.

“Hit me! Go on, bloody try it. My father made you Alpha. I may have been omega at birth, but my father had been Alpha; he bestowed all these things on you because of me. And now  you dare cheat on me with  Sheila?“ I asked, and for the first time I had rendered Erebus speechless. He swallowed hard and seemed taken aback by my sudden change in personality.

“Fine! Have fun living a crappy life with Sheila! But I will tell you this: I will take all that belongs to my father; not anymore will I be your prey; I regret ever knowing you; and I assure you, I'll take back everything you've stolen from me; you will pay. I'll make you regret it, I swear down.” My words and my stance were clear.

Thunderstruck right on cue, and I made my way out of the room. I was done raking for the both of them; they wanted a baby, then to hell with them; they found love in each other. Screw that nonsense.  I was done with Erebus and done with love.

I stopped to a halt; I could hear light footsteps behind me; it blended into the shadows but drew closer; my heart picked up a pace; and then I saw someone. Launched a dagger at me but missed. I realized at the moment that my life was in danger.

I stuck to my feet while the person chased after me. It was not  Erebus, but I could tell it was one of his men. With each step I took. cold chills ran down my spine while I swore to get my revenge; my life couldn't end in  such a way. I couldn't die so easily, not after all that I had been through.

I slipped, crashed onto my back while an arrow was fired ahead of me, and my wolf whimpered inside of me. She had never been the type of wolf to face harsh conditions.

I stood my feet again, running hastily, not bothering to glance back—not even once during the chase, the downpour increased heavy at the moment, rain fell like harsh pebbles against my skin, bitterness ensued within me, and tears clustered up in my eyes..more determined! More than ever, I made another turn, but when I stopped to a halt, I was by the edge of a cliff.

Slowy I peered ahead; it looked fucking deep. One little mistake, and I was dead. I drew in a long breath. I could hear the footsteps from the assassin draw closer towards me. I pushed backward while relief washed overme as  I set back ahead, towards the top of the cliff, and stopped to a halt while my eyes matched those of the assassin.

Cold chills ran down my spine, my body shook from worry, and a knot was tied at the pit of my belly as a sudden realization. I had been cornered; there was no other escape route meant for me.

He pulled out an arrow and shot me right In the chest, and i stumbled a bit, my feet falling towards the back. A loud crash followed, and the next thing I realized was my body rolling off the edge of a cliff. My eyes closed shut,but I swore within myself. I couldn't die so easily; life had been unfair. I needed my revenge, a second chance that was all I wanted. Even if it soeasmt last long I needed to make Erebus pay for all he had done.

*************

“She's beautiful. Her eyes.”

“Common, don't be a freak.”

“It isn't allowed; you both should move away from her.” A low whisper erupted as I lay still and heard three different voices. My eyes still closed shut as I swallowed hard; I didn't understand what it was all about.

Slowly, I pushed open my eyes, and they all screamed from surprise, flinching away from me as if they were caught in some bad act.

A smile fell on my face, and they leaned closer to me.

“The princess is awake,” the first girl whispered.

"Is the princess awake?.” the second asked, as they all stared at me like some sort of amazing trophy. 

“wait! The princess is awake!.” The third girl yelled in surprise, and they all scampered away from the spot.

“EVERYONE! THE PRINCESS IS AWAKE!” A voice yelled a few feet away from me, and a huge bell rang as it carried an echo all through the building, and it looked nothing like the pack house.
