After a long afternoon in the boiling hot gym, they were finally done with their training, and Hayley followed behind the crowd to take a shower. "Seems like you took a beating." Josie said, falling into steps beside Hayley. "I am sore in places I never thought possible." Josie gave a laugh. "I feel just great." "Yeah, you're a wolf. I'm not. So, can you maybe help me? I took a pretty nasty fall back there." Hayley said, pointing at her side. "Sure.'' Josie removed her glasses. After seeing all the places Hayley was hurt, she laid her hand on the areas and healed her. Also, secretly trying to heal her broken core, but it didn't seem to work. Hayley felt a slight shock and jumped. "Sorry, but you are all healed now." "Thanks." When Hayley pushed the locker room door open, all eyes turned to her, in the same time Davina threw a towel in her face. "There, much better. Now we don't have to worry about turning to stone from that ugly face of yours." Hayley removed the wet towel

Hayley tried to get the thought of Kane being forced to take a mate out of her mind. She didn't think it mattered to her, because she knew that if the Alpha should choose a mate. It wouldn't be her. Alison, one of the court guards, Sora another court guard, or maybe even Davina, would be the option from what she just saw in the office. Hayley could see it now. Davina 'the queen luna'. Telling them that if they weren't pretty enough, they would be banished. Or if they were prettier than her, their heads would be chopped off. "Hey," a voice said. Hayley already knew that it belong to Axel, the Alpha's little brother. “Hey, Axel." Hayley greeted. Her tone was soft, as she was on the verge of crying. "O- or you ok. Your voice seems." "I'm fine Axel, it's my monster voice." She told him. Axel raised a brow at her. “Why did you say my name like that?" "Because I am a monster, not a wolf or human, but a monster." Hayley told him. Axel smiled. “You’re not." "Yeah, you know me,'

Davina punched Hayley in the eye, and was about to swing at her again, as her friends took that as their queue to jump in. They held onto Hayley so that Davina could get some hits in, but Hayley broke free from their hold, then blew a small amount of wolfsbane at the four of them. She didn't use much because she didn't want any blood on her hands, and she knew what the price of killing was. Samantha, Davina's newest best friend, hit Hayley on the side of the head, causing her to fall to the ground. She was about to hit her again, but Hayley kicked her in the chest. Samantha fell to the ground. When she tried to get up, Hayley stepped on her chest. "Move, and I'll crush you, bitch!'' Hayley said, furious and tired of Davina, Kora, Grace, and now Samantha. She was tired of all the bullying. All the emotions that she had been holding in were finally been let out, all her hate and anger was clouding her mind. All see could see now was red Hayley span around just in time to duck down,

Hayley threw a look over at Alpha Kane, wondering if he agreed with his Beta, but his eyes were boring back into hers. She couldn't tell what he was thinking, another reason she kind of wish she was a wolf. They could communicate through a mind link, while some wolves could read minds. Like the Alpha, for example. What she would give to get inside his head. But then again, she didn't want to know. Maybe it was all about Davina promising him a good time. If he let her off easy, and with him being mateless, he wouldn't reject her. Kane narrowed his eyes, which caused Hayley to quickly look away from him. Hayley start imagining it again, Davina being Luna, making her life even worse than it already was. The pack would be a living hell, with all females in exile. Better yet, Davina would use her in their endurance training, a new addition where she was target practice. She imagined Davina all red, with devil horns, a pitchfork and a pointy tail. Hayley giggled a bit, then sighed,

"And you are the reason I have a target on my back." Hayley said before turning away. Kane grabbed at her. "Listen, it doesn't matter what they do or say-" "Yeah, you can say whatever because you are not the one being picked on." Hayley cut him off. "I can make them stop, do whatever to make you happy." Hayley scoffed, "it's a little too late for that, don't you think?" "Hayley." "Can I get back to work? You have already put more attention on me than is needed." Hayley moved to an area where it was just her so she could pick the apples in peace, but with Alpha Kane, that wouldn't be so, because he came to where she was with three crates. "Help me fill these up." "No, get somebody else to do it." "I'm sure that if I do, you wouldn't like that." "Why do you keep bothering me, Kane? I don't want to be here and you won't let me leave. Why?" "Why can't you see that I like you?" Hayley said nothing. "It's as if you can't tell when someone cares for you." Kane said, trying to co
