Ashina Knew that her only time to escape out of this hell place was in the night. She stood up from her Room and headed straight to outside, trying to escape when Neon, who seemed to be outside at that moment, walked up to her and dragged her to one corner. "What do you think you're doing Ashina?" Neon questions with a suspense tone, wanting to know why she thinks she could escape out of here so easily.

"Why must you have to disturb my plans Neon? I want to leave here! I need to get out of this pack and find where I belong so don't stop me please". Neon held Ashina's hands thereby preventing her from taking a step.

"What do you think you're doing Ashina? Just try to get hold of yourself! Do you think escaping out of this place is easy? Even though you get the chance to escape out of the territory, the warriors will find you Ashina no matter where you run to. You can be traced with just anything that belongs to you! As long as you're part of this werewolf pack then there's no possible way you could leave except you're banned or been outcast". Neon argued, trying to explain to her when they Heard the sound of someone coming in. They found it too late to hide after knowing that it was Alpha Zeeb who was coming.

"What are you guys doing here by this time?" Zeeb questions them, his voice in Anger's tone as Ashina ruffled her hair in confusion. Pondering what to tell him in this state.

They were too petrified to speak up since they were afraid of him. Neon didn't know what to say. He didn't want to utter the wrong words which could make him punish her but instead of that, he would rather wait for her to speak up.

"Ohhhh I see, you've reach the state where you can meet each other at night to play love and touch each other?" Alpha Zeeb questions and stares at his watch then continues with His speech, "by tomorrow, both of you will explain to me what you're doing here". He turned to walk away when Ashina held his hand.

"Please wait!" She leaned towards him, their faces narrowing to each other as Ashina cleared her throat, ready for the speech she was about to make.

"You want the truth right?" Ashina snapped at him, her voice sounding so cracky.

"It's not what you think! Everything you're seeing right now isn't what you thought it was. Neon had only come out to stop me from making my......... "And what was that?" Zeeb interrupted her, aware of what she's going to say next.

"I wanted to escape from this pack! I don't belong... " And before she could complete her statement, Zeeb gave her a resounding slap on the face which turned her cheeks red and her eyes watering at the moment.

"You aren't allowed to make such statements! You're a slave in our pack, Ashina! You will always be a slave here trust me! And let me remind you once again, I don't know whatever grudges you have against me but be careful never to allow what happened that day to repeat itself again. You wanted to kill me that day Right, you brought out a knife wanting to stab me before realizing what you were doing".

Zeeb knew her intentions that day! she brought out the knife to kill him and decided to let it slide but this one, he's never going to let it go. He will punish her and show her the consequence of disobeying his rules.

Zeeb was distracted by Neon whimpering as he gave him one dangerous stare which could make him go unconscious. "Why are you still here?" With Such five speeches, Neon bowed down his head in Obeisance of him before running away.

"Raise your hands and look at me Ashina! Whenever I'm talking to you,, I expect you to look at me". When Ashina raised her head up at him, he could see how beautiful she was when crying. He felt Pity for her. He wished he could hug her and tell her everything was okay but he couldn't.

He understands the reason why she hates him. His mother called him one morning and told him everything that had happened back then when he went missing three years ago. His mother tells him how his father slaughtered her parents out of anger and later regretted the decision because it was the same thing that killed the both of them. They were killed in the same way her parents were killed. Slaughtered and beheaded into pieces.

"Go warm up for your punishment tomorrow Ashina! You need to know the difference between "Alpha" and "Slave". With a shuddering Body, Ashina walks away, heading to the room. She feels so bad for what just happened. She regretted everything that just happened and had hoped she would never try escaping. What actually made her think she could escape out of here? Of course she's nothing but a slave in the Sky moon Pack.

And what else, she's nothing but a weak wolf who's yet to find her mate. She doesn't have family, she doesn't have a mate nor someone that loves her! This makes Ashina sad and depressed as she wished she was never born into this world.

She backed the door of her small dark room and lay down on the mat. "Why?" She screams out, ruffling her hair.

"Why's this happening to me?" She pouted out again, probably to no one in particular. Of course no one was in the room with her. She has nobody to let out her feelings to. She's all alone in this dark wicked world.

Ashina eyes search through the "Wolfsbane" which she had plugged some days ago with the intention of injecting it. What's the point of living if all she got was misery and depression?

Ashina plugged out the Wolfsbane from the root and squeezed it together. About to put it in her mouth when a voice spoke out.

"Please stop! Don't do this! Do you think killing ourselves is the best option?" The voice shrugged at her as she burst into more tears.
