Chapter 5

I don't care about anything, especially myself. My face was as pale as a corpse.  Right. I really want to die.

It's been three days since Ken was kicked out of this pack. I spend more time in my room. I have no appetite. I don't feel hungry, but my body is getting weaker.

At that time, Nicky thwarted me, who wanted to commit suicide by drinking poison. Maybe by not eating and drinking, I will soon meet death.

Ken promised to meet me. I often go to the forest to wait for him. When I meet him, I will force Ken to take me away from the pack. Go to a very faraway place.

I'm worried about Ken. Where is he? Has he returned to his group?

I glanced at my bedroom door. Dad came inside with a small bag. Dad sat on the edge of the bed. He didn't ask about my condition. Doesn't dad see how pathetic I am?

Today is Nicky's schedule to get a blood transfusion. Nobody knows about me transfusing my blood to Nicky. So dad himself took my blood.

I lay down. My eyes stared blankly at the ceiling. Dad comes to my room once a month when he draws my blood.

I glanced at dad, who was preparing the equipment he would use to draw my blood. I want to see dad's smile that he always gives to Nicky and Rosalina.

"Why is Dad so mean to me?" I couldn't hold back the curiosity I had harbored all these years.

"I want to ensure the safety of my heirs," Dad replied coldly.

"Have I never been in the heir sequence?"

"I need a strong heir."

My heart is like being pinched. I am weak and have a weak wolf. Dad is ashamed of me. I never wanted to be weak. Do they think I want all this?

"Did Dad ever love me?" I looked at dad's face. I hope dad says yes or nods his head. But dad is silent. He directs the injection into a vein in my arm. Even though every month my blood is drawn but I'm not used to the pain.

Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes. I give up. Dad never loved me. I shouldn't have had to ask so I wouldn't feel heartbroken. My head is spinning, and my vision is blurry. I couldn't keep my eyelids from continuing to open.

Maybe it was not eating and drinking for three days and having my blood drawn that caused me to faint. I held my head which was always dizzy after dad took my blood.

I sat down and glanced at my arm, which had the injection marks on it. "My arms are getting ugly. I don't like them. They just need my blood." I sneered.

Dad never loved me, and I wonder to myself, why do I still call him dad?

Ken. Where are you?

When someone accepts me, they throw them out of my life.

When there's someone I have, they separate us.

I can't believe Ken stole. Ken couldn't have done something bad like that. I'm sure this is Nicky's plan to get Ken out of the pack.

Was Nicky dissatisfied with snatching dad's affection and taking Dean from me? Nicky has also taken the position of an heir from me. Why is she separating me from Ken now? Why does she hate me so much?

Everyone here ignores me because I'm weak and have a weak wolf. Nobody wants me. No one cared about the pain and suffering I had endured.

They are all evil. I don't want to stay here. I don't care about Nicky's condition; that needs my blood. I don't care about dad, who might kill me.

To hell with them all!

I walked slowly to the window and saw the omegas sweeping the backyard chatting.

I believe in Ken. Ken is all I have. I'm going to get out of the pack and find Ken. I don't care about anything. Even if the end is death. I clench my fists. I will not be afraid!

Night has come. I'm sure everyone is asleep. I slipped out of the house with nothing. I wrapped my body with a jacket to face the cold night air.

I didn't find anyone. The streets were silent, and the doors of the pack members' houses were tightly shut. I avoided the warrior camp. I passed the small streets. I can get out of the pack easily.

My heart was beating faster. I have arrived at the forest, which is opposite the pack. I glanced back at the pack. A gust of wind blew my hair. I will not feel sorry. I will forget everything. Then I firmly walked into the forest.

I sniffed Ken's scent, and I kept walking. I've never walked this far. My legs feel weak. But I won't give up until I find Ken. Maybe he was not far from this forest. When I was little, I ever to pass through this forest. It seemed like only a few meters left to get out of this forest.

My ears caught the sound of many footsteps from behind me. I felt cold air touch my neck. I turned to check the situation. But I'm late. Five people wearing black clothes and covering their faces with masks had surrounded me. Their aura seemed to want to kill me.

"Who are you? I have nothing!" They must be robbers. I can't fight them with my strength. If only I could swap bodies with my wolf.

With a swift movement, two people aimed lashes at my back. I screamed in pain. "Don't do this to me," I begged, even though it was in vain. They mercilessly hurt my body.

"Who ordered you?" I murmured. I can't fight them. I groaned in pain. One of them aimed a lash at my leg. I fell to the ground. I held my limp body weight with my hands. One of them brutally whipped my back.

I can only cry. I don't have the strength to fight them. I'm weak and lousy.

"Silly girl. Your step-sister needs your blood. Why did you run away?" said one of them.

My body froze. Are they Nicky's subordinates? I'm such a fool. Nicky won't let me go. Forever I will be bound to him. I am his blood-producing machine. If dad finds out I ran away, will dad punish me?

Where did the courage I had a few minutes ago go? Until I ventured to run away from home.

I moan in pain. They didn't stop torturing me. I raised my head to look at them. "Are you going to kill me? You already know that Nicky needs my blood. You can't kill me."

They all burst out laughing. Even the person who whipped me stopped to laugh. Is what I said funny?

One of them sat in front of me. From his narrowed eyes, he must have been smiled under his mask. "Unfortunate fate for you. Don't you know that our boss recovered three years ago?"

The five of them laughed again. They sneered at me and looked down on me.

I squeezed my heart which hurt so much. All this time I was lied to.

So during these three years Nicky pretended to be sick so I could continue to flow my blood for her?

Does dad know?

I chuckled. I laugh at my stupidity. I've been lied to by them all this time. Why am I so easily deceived?

"It's been a long time since we found someone who didn't fight back when we whipped." Then they laughed.

My back hurts. I dropped my eyes down, blood pooling around me. I held my hand, which was bleeding profusely.

I want to fight you, but I'm weak.

Is this my last day living in this world? Is death a happy ending for me?

I will gladly accept my death.

I have no reason to live. No one cared about me. They are all evil. I'm sorry, Ken.

"Damn you all!" Someone shouted behind me. I was surprised not because of the loud voice but the powerful aura that made my body shudder and tremble.

The person who was whipping my back stopped. I saw the faces of those people who froze and widened their eyes.

"I will kill you all!" The mysterious person growled, and with a swift movement, he fought the five people who had tortured me.

Slowly my eyes blur. I can't see clearly. But I saw two people falling on the ground with their necks ripped. My hands supporting my body felt weaker, and my head was spinning.

"Damn it. You must die!" The mysterious man who helped me screamed in anger while fighting with all of them.

His voice, his posture and his smell. I kind of know him.

When all the people who tortured me lay helplessly on the ground, the man turned and walked towards me. I am surprised. My head felt heavy, and I couldn't hold my body in longer. Even though my vision is blurry, I'm sure he is, "Ken." The man ran to catch my weak body, and everything went dark.
