Chapter Three.

Sasha's POV:

We were running for hours. We were so hot as we were currently in the middle of summer. We stopped and stole some clothes, we didn't have anything. I mean we were attacked while we were sleeping, the last thing on my mind definitely wasn't to bring any spare clothes along just in case. Both Mel and I had lost our bonds with our fathers, meaning they didn't make it. We finally got to a clearing in the woods, and sat down, holding each other as we cried for hours while comforting ourselves. ‘Sasha’, Mel called, ‘yeah’ I responded, ‘What are we going to do now?’,she asked. ‘I don't know Mel, everything is just so messed up’, I said. ‘But one thing I'm so certain about is that I am going to kill Xavier Connoway’. 

‘I will avenge every single person that died. He took everything away from me Mel, he killed everyone I loved. How could someone we trusted do this to us?’ I was curled up with my knees to my chest crying out loud. ‘I killed everyone Mel, it is my fault. If dad had just agreed to this stupid contract, none of this would have happened, everyone would still be alive.’ I spat. ‘Sasha, don't say that. It is not your fault. We didn't know why our dads were working so late, we had no idea about this new contract. We didn't know that Xavier was so evil and capable of being a monster, that he wouldn't even consider honoring the moon goddess and respecting the mate bonds.’ Emelda said while she was trying to comfort me. She was right though. I doubt my father would have ever thought that Xavier was capable of doing what he did to our pack. Even so, I knew that my Dad would never sell me off or trade me for some stupid contract. We sat there and continued crying. We had no other person but each other.

After some hours had passed, we didn't know what else to do, we just kept walking and it was now getting dark. We were hungry, so we hunted for some rabbits and ate them raw in our wolf form. We also slept in our wolf form, but we took turns to sleep. Right now, I'm on watch while Mel is sleeping. ‘Hey Lina’,I called out to my wolf, ‘Yes Sasha?’ she responded. ‘Are we ever going to be okay?’ I asked her shakily, ‘only time will tell but we need to be strong because that is what your parents would want.’ my wolf said. ‘Yeah you are right, thanks lina’, I told her. ‘I know’, she replied. If this were under normal circumstances I would have laughed, and said ‘Cocky much’, yeah Lina can be cocky. 

‘Wake up Sasha’,Mel kicked me. ‘Urggghhh, can't I sleep for five more minutes’ I groaned…’No, it is time we find a place to call our home.’ she said. We have literally been sleeping out in the woods for days. Since it was in the middle of summer, there was no need to have a blanket or an extra layer of clothing. We hunted and ate it raw in our wolf form. But summer is going to be gone soon, so we needed to figure out something fast. ‘I don't want to put any pack in jeopardy. You heard him, he said he would kill any pack that helps us.’ I said. ‘Well it's been almost a week since the attack, we need to figure something out fast.’ Mel said.

Where were we going to go…
