We soon reached the border and the scouts pushed me out of Crescent Moon territory but I managed to regain my balance and thus, prevented myself from falling. I turned back and glared at them before walking on into the great unknown.I had never been outside of the border before in my 18 years of life so I had absolutely no idea where I was going but I just hoped that the goddess would direct my path.I walked on for hours, just going where my feet took me and I couldn't keep waiting because I began to feel dizzy. I decided to rest. I instantly remembered that I hadn't eaten anything yet and I began regretting my decision of being stubborn enough not to take anything from the pack house with me.I was hungry, very thirsty and I was in the middle of nowhere, just a long dirt road with the absence of any vegetation. The scorching sun in the sky added to my troubles and I knew that if such harsh conditions persisted, I would probably have a heat stroke or I might even die out here."Stop

Ana laughed some more. "You don't have to be so shocked, it's true. You could call it a classical case of Cinderella but in wolf style where the poor girl turns out to be mated to the Alpha. My dear Elsie really couldn't believe it at first and she was worried because she thought the Alpha would reject her. She was just a poor girl after all and certainly no match for all the girls she had seen flocking around the Alpha but Alpha Richard surprised everyone when he accepted her as his mate. He accepted her and told her he would love to get to know her better because she was surely his fated mate and the goddess makes no mistake when she mates her children. They got married about a year ago and my daughter now lives in the palace." Ana said and I really couldn't help sighing.It's funny how in life, some people get to be so lucky while others just have a truckload of bad luck. Elsie is surely living her fairy tale life with her mate. She is now Luna and she has a mate who loves her,

"You're wrong dear, she's not my biological sister, but she's my sister from this day henceforth." Elsie said and Alpha Richard gave a look of confusion. "I'm sorry but I'm a little lost here, she's not your sister but she's now your sister. You'll have to explain it to me." Alpha Richard said and Elsie giggled.She went on to also explain what Ana had just told her to him. "My father made such a terrible mistake and it almost made me lose the love of my life, my wonderful mate and I've made a promise to myself that I won't stand by and watch while another innocent person is accused and punished for someone else's crime. I'm going to have to confront the Alpha of Crescent Moon pack, he has to apologize to this girl or face the consequences. I don't mind going on a full on war since our pack is much bigger and stronger." Alpha Richard stated and fear gripped my heart instantly.Though I hated Zephyr and mostly everyone else in that pack, I would never wish for a war to happen because o

He had hazel brown eyes that were almost the colour of chocolate. His nose was just at the right angle, long and pointed. Pastel pink lips widened in a flirty grin and I saw the makings of a dimpled smile on his left cheek. He was truly gorgeous to say the least and the way his beautiful eyes stared into mine with such passion had my cheeks turning crimson red in minutes.He helped me up and I held onto my towel quickly, fearing it would fall because it had already loosened.The towel wrapped around my head had already fallen off due to the fall that I had narrowly escaped but I didn't bother to pick it up, there was already enough awkwardness in the air."I'm really sorry for barging into your room like this, I apologize for my rude behavior." He apologized as he ran a hand through his long blonde hair that almost fell on his face. I turned my back to him and secured my towel to my body. I would absolutely hate it if it had to come off in front of a stranger and a hot one at that.I

I had another nightmare that night and the following nights. I've been living in the palace for two weeks now and each night, I always had a nightmare about Zephyr either beating me up and killing me or raping me. This gradually plunged me into insomnia and then depression. I couldn't eat properly and I grew scared of sleeping. Tara tried to talk me out of it but she couldn't. It was apparent that she was also scared too.Elsie noticed my sudden withdrawal and she tried to find out what the problem was but I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I knew telling someone would help to bring me some relief but I still felt scared, I didn't want to recall what he did to me so many days ago.Ana hadn't been feeling well so she didn't find out about my withdrawal and it was better she didn't know, I really didn't want to add to her problems.Emily also tried to help but I just pushed her away and stopped communicating with her. Kayden gradually became a pain because he was trying to look for wa
