I lay on my bed with my hands on my stomach and eyes staring at the darkness of my room. It had been a while since I woke up and instead of walking around, I stay right there on my back with thoughts running through my head.

I had blocked Eliz because I didn't want her to pester me to see Eric. Right now, I want to enjoy this peace before facing another storm. I didn't want to have hopes for my mate as our fate had been doomed before I even came into his life. However, what I want to do is to tell him that I am thankful and that I have forgiven him for everything.

It's a good plan for moving forward and for my peace. When I have enough time of thinking, I pull off the sheet from my body and stood up to turn on the lights. I then went to the bathroom to wash my face, letting my barricade with Eliz break. I then tie up my black hair in a ponytail and for the first time, I look better.

Actually, I feel better.

I stood there watching my reflection. It's like I'm looking at a new me. Eliz

    "I remember the first time I saw you," he says as he holds on to my hand. "You're everything I could ever wish and want to have. It was the first time I agreed with my wolf on something," his lips curved in a smile as if he is reminiscing that day."I want to be the best mate but then I couldn't. I just couldn't turn everything around. It wasn't fair for you Elle." I try to pull my hand away from his but he held it tight. "Please at least hear me out," he begs me."No Eric I can't. I... I...I don't think I can" I stutter as I tried to tell him not to go there with my tears almost bursting from my eyes. However, he pleaded with me to hear him out. Therefore, I ended up staying with him in his room.Eric raised his body and I try to help him but he stops me. "I can do it, Elle," he says as he leans his back against the bed's headboard.

    Eric was wrong when he said that I could love freely and move on from the past.

    We have been running in the woods, Eliz felt it refreshing since we haven't shifted when we were in the humans’ realm. We cross our border and made it to another territory probably Eric's. Then we continue to walk before we reach his. Aaron wants us to talk to the place where we first met.The first question I ask him as we walk was "How's everyone doing?" and he told me that they were all okay. Conrad has found his mate and Jay has moved with his mate since she's a Beta's daughter of another pack. So Zeus’s pack is now combined with his and now he's the Alpha.We talk about other random stuff about how my life in the human realm was and how I had to cope with everything until we reach that spot again. I pick up from our conversation that he never mentioned anything about Claire so I decided to ask him.

She has been watching his soul day by day as he works to mend for his own mistakes and sins in her hidden dimensions where only she can see through. She was satisfied with the way he has taken things and how remorseful he was with everything that has been happening. On a red full moon, for the first time in the history of werewolves, the sky pierced and four souls were reborn again, with the same features in the same world. The moon goddess has frozen the time and has taken everything back to where it was. It was as if she was playing a video where you keep hitting the replay button. She smiles watching those souls who are reborn again into her creation. It was Eric’s wish and yearning after his death that brought them back, this she watched hoping fate wouldn’t repeat like the last time. Those souls were Eric, Claire, Aaron and Elle.

    Life is going damn well great for me again. Yeah you heard that right "AGAIN' Yes, I may have been locked up, mistreated, and banished from a place once called home because of something that I never did. However, I have to pay the price for it. I was the only one who was banished but my parents who knew the truth, resigned from the pack and we had to move to my dad's good old friend's pack called 'Alcaders.' The Alcaders were led by Alpha Lincoln Cruz when we first moved there. Now, it is led by Josh Hamilton, the Alpha's nephew. He was made Alpha simply because the Alpha's daughter Aberdeen, who is also my best friend didn't follow her parent's wishes. She didn't want the title. Instead, she became one of the pack warriors. Desirably, her mate didn't want to take over the pack as an Alpha. He loves his position as a Beta of the Pack. Well, I guess being a Beta is hot. All girls drool over him whenever he conducts our training. I swear he is candy to the eyes. However he is my

You've been practicing the same move for a month now,' she counterpart.I glare back at her in my head, while she keeps on teasing me about how bad I did the BTS moves of Boy with Luv.Eliz and I have a good connection and we hardly disagree with one another but we only tend to annoy each other by teasing."Elle," that was Aberdeen calling me."Yes""Are you ready yet?" she shouted from outside of our room's door."Coming," I shout back.I re-adjust my high waist belted skirt again before smiling in the mirror and juggling my way out of this small room. I couldn't believe it when Josh said that we were going on his behalf for an important meeting at the Daluna pack.Wow! I was beyond excited. I'd never been to any other place apart from our pack.

    After an embarrassing entry, I keep grinning from ear to ear. Aberdeen nudged me on the shoulder asking with concern, "are you okay?"I answer with a smile, "of course, why wouldn't I? Look at me I am perfectly fine." I try to clear away the embarrassment.I take a look again at the pack house, which is a two-story."Not all pack members live here." I hear the Beta say probably to Leto and Aberdeen since I haven't talked to him due to my embarrassment."My apologies but this is Elle our top warrior," Leto introduces me to the stranger. "And Elle please meet Lucian Kavril. He's the Beta for Daluna" he added. I turn to face the Beta and see his hand extended out to me. I shake it in return.He eyes me up and down. 'Something you like beta?' Eliz raises her eyebrow in a flirty way. Seriously this wolf will be the death of me someday."I must say the design is extraordinary," I say and turn back to admire their packhouse."Yeah, our Alpha designed it himself," Lucian proudly responds as

    "Eric" I scream as we slowly sit down on the ground with him still in my arms as I keep shaking him. I am trying to keep his open eyes. Tears pour from my eyes as I watch him struggle to breathe."Why did you do that for?" I sob and he says nothing except his breathing is getting weaker. I look around for anyone to help us and saw them standing there in shock. I know it's unexpected but someone needs to get him to the hospital before he dies. "Lucian, he's dying" I scream at him, which snaps him out of his shocking state and run up to help us. "His breath is weaker. Please be quick he needs a healer," I tell him as he picks him up and I help put him on his back.

    'Jea was murdered and Zeus is the traitor.' I thought as I woke up in the familiar surroundings of my room at Aaron's pack. I let out a relieved sigh, knowing that I am safe. I then try twisting around on the bed and surprisingly I don't feel sore or experience any pain.'Thanks to the moon goddess.' The door slam open and Aberdeen walks in surprising me. There's a breakfast in her hands which made her focus on balancing the tray and not knowing that I am awake. I smile at her but the sound of her sniffling as if she's been crying made the smile on my face disappear. My heart goes out to my poor best friend. She must have been so worried."Aber."She stops and glances to see me. I smile at her again and Aber being Aber started to cry. She quickly places the tray on the table near the door and run up to me. She crushed me into a big hug which I returned wholeheartedly. Oh, how I miss my bestie, my one, and an only real friend."You bad girl," she says, pushing pushes me back on the bed

    The news of Cascarade Pack being wiped out by rogues and hunters made me feel so many different emotions and I am drowning inside. I shouldn't feel this way for them, however, the bad deeds done by others do not define the innocent people and young pups that were living in the Cascarade pack.It was hard to understand how the massacre happened and why we were never being informed about it but when Jay explains to us what happened we then understood. He told us that the Cascarade Pack was attacked on the same day, and the rogues tried to kidnap me. It was a surprise attack that no one was prepared for it and so none of the neighboring and allied packs were informed. The wounded warrior that was carried in here, is the only survivor that has been on the runs from the rogues and hunters for days.I can imagine the horror the warrior went through and I hope he survives as his condition is too critical at the moment.
