Chapter 2

Author: Theresa
After our den burned down, finding a new den to live became a challenge.

Dad said, "It's hard to find a new den, especially with three pups. We'll have to take two and send the other one away for now."

At his words, my heart sank. I realized that they wanted to abandon me.

As soon as my dad's words left his mouth, everyone turned to look at me.

I gave a bitter smile. I was right. Sure enough, I'd be the one to go.

In the past, I would've thrown a tantrum, acting spoiled and crying loudly until they let me go with them. But I felt it was useless.

Self mockery wretched through my wolf. It was sad that I had to resort to that to get their love or care.

But my brother and sister never had to resort to that; they just got what they wanted and my parents always took their side and cared for them.

I knew it was useless to throw a tantrum anymore. I had finally understood that I would never be as important to them as my brother and sister.

So, I simply nodded and stepped back, saying in a hoarse voice, "I'll go."

They all looked surprised but said nothing more.

I was sent to live with my uncle's clan, where I had to be extremely cautious to survive.

Every day, I'd do chores and be silver dust sweeper to earn money, which I'd give to my uncle.

Initially, they'd give me a faint smile, but eventually, even that disappeared.

Their faces grew cold, their expressions a mix of disdain and annoyance.

One afternoon, after finishing scrubbing the bathroom, I overheard them talking.

"When is she leaving?"

"Just a few more days."

"Ugh, don't you smell her? I feel filthy just saying a word to her. I have to shower twice afterward. And with her eating, that's another mouth to feed. She is such a burden."

Hearing this, I lowered my head and sniffed myself, realizing they didn't like me using their shower. Their words made my wolf hurt in pain, thrashing around in a frenzy. My hands shook as I realized they hated me being there. I was nothing but a burden to them.

That night at dinner, I smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't feel comfortable in the room I'm staying in. Would it be okay if I moved to the basement? I won't join meals anymore; I'll just make something simple myself."

I kept my tone light and controlled, afraid they'd get upset. No matter how they felt, at least they let me live them. If they threw me out, I would have no where to go.

They nodded, and their icy expressions finally softened a bit.

Aunt even placed a piece of egg on my plate, a rare gesture of kindness.

    I was not sure how long I walked. The wind and rain hit me on my way back to the basement. The despair I felt, tore though my wolf. I curled up on the damp bed in a daze.

    I stared at the silver pendant, frozen in confusion. I didn't believe for a second that he was here to help me — and I was right.My brother sneered, his lips curling into a mocking smile. "You wander around like this every day, collecting trash? It's embarrassing for our clan. I won't tolerate it," he said.Without warning, he swooped in and snatched the bag of bottles and cans I'd spent hours gathering. He handed it off to a nearby scavenger, an old she-wolf with a cunning glint in her eye. She snatched the bag and scurried off, thanking him hastily. My wolf was livid. Shame? This was my only hope of living one more day yet he was ashamed of it? I angrily protested and grabbed for the bottles.But ended up grabbing at my brother's sleeve, but he shook me off with disgust. That bag was my livelihood for the day, the few coins I'd earn from recycling would've bought me a meager meal. My eyes filled with tears. Frustration tore at my wolf. Why was he doing this to me?Now that he’d

    When I woke up, I found myself in an odd room.A healer smiled brightly at me when she saw me move.“You’re awake!” she said and helped me sit up.I nodded and thanked her.“Please, do you know who brought me here?” I asked her.“Your family, of course," she answered.I paused at her words. They did? It was hard to believe they actually took me to the healer.My wolf felt odd and confused.Just then, the healer hesitated, as if there was something she wanted to say.But after a pause, she just patted my hand gently and said nothing.“You were really weak, so we just gave you a glucose drip. You’re too thin. You should eat more from now on.” she said.She looked at my wrist with worry and pity in her eyes, then she left. I could tell that was not what she wanted to say, but she had already left.Pity? Sure, my situation was pitiful. For some reason, my eyes filled with tears and no matter how I tried, my wolf felt the urge to cry.I quietly cried myself to sleep.Later, the healer retur

It was hard to keep warm and I was getting thirsty.My mouth felt dry and I was suddenly desperate for any kind of water. But when I thought of going upstairs to get water, I feared that my uncle would catch me and I would be thrown out. I heard the rain falling outside, so I stepped out.There, one spotted dirty water leaking from the drains. A stray cat was lapping it up. Watching the cat drink, my thirst got worse. I immediately knelt and joined the cat.Who cared about dignity. I could not afford to care about dignity. Survival was all that was on my mind.The water was cold, but it quenched my thirst.
