Mila’s POV My eyes opened, and I took in a deep breath, like it was the first breath I had ever taken, as my hands move to my neck, and I sat up straight, while I began to cough, and more pain resonated in my chest. Pain then rushed throughout my entire body, as tears fell from my eyes, as I wondered if this is what death felt like. The dew from the tears now coated my eyes as I tried to focus on my surroundings, while a figure rushed in my direction, as fear began to consume me, that I was in the hands of the enemy. The color white blinded me, telling me that I had to be in an infirmary, but whose infirmary I was in was now the question. Hands now touched my chest gently, as my eyes looked up at the figure that had rushed to me. “You must take it easy. Please, lay back down. You are safe now.” Came from the figure’s lips, in an angelic tone, telling me that I just may have died, and this was the afterlife, but as I went to do as she sai
Mila’s POV “What the hell were you thinking? You could have gotten yourself killed.” He tells me, as he stares down at me, looking more frustrated than ever with me, but I was beginning to sense everything I do frustrates him. Instead of answering his question, I avoid it by asking him, “Did you save her?” A growl now rumbles from his chest, as he tries to hold it back, but it was clear that he was catching on to my abilities to divert the questions he asks me. “Trina is fine, no thanks to you. The pack doctor was injured by a rogue, trying to catch up to you. You’re lucky that is all the rogue did to him, and he was still able to save her life. What you did was stupid and selfish. You need to learn to think about others before yourself.” He says scolding me, but the truth was, I was thinking about others, before myself.I was trying to stop someone from getting away that could have helped us find the person responsible for all of this,
Mila’s POV Days passed by as I began to heal, and my nights and days began to run together, as I stayed in my room, locked away from the outside world. My only interaction throughout the day was an elderly she wolf that brought my meals to me, and a new book to read when I ask for one. Other than that, I was imprisoned once again, but this time the door was locked from the inside instead of the outside. On day three, the pack doctor paid me a visit, and thankfully his wounds were healed, but that didn’t change the fact that I had been responsible for him receiving those wounds. I must have apologized to him a hundred times during his visit with me, but he simply kept saying to me, “What is done is done, and we can’t take back the past.” Making me wonder if he truly forgave me, or if I had lost his confidence in me being a good person. A week into my imprisonment, there was a knock on my door, and I hesitated for a few seconds, as I knew
Mila’s POV “Have you lost your damn mind? What would make you think that?” I asked Trina, shocked that she would even think that, as I stood from my chair, trying not to laugh at her, as I knew that my ribs couldn’t take it. “No, I haven’t lost my mind. If anything, I am seeing things more clearly now. Why else would he have asked me to look after you?” She now says to me, making me turn around, from my pacing to look at her, after her confession to me. “He asked you to look after me? But I thought that he instilled that duty to Beta Ryker.” I questioned her, as I continued to look at her, confused, wondering how many other members of the pack that he had asked to watch my every move. “Well yes, I thought you knew that, especially when he asked me to take you to training.” She now says to me, and I remember back to that day, and how she wasn’t happy at first about it, making me still wonder if there was something going on
Mila’s POV “What do you mean by you saw something?” Trina now asks me, giving me her full attention, as she slid forward, sitting on the edge of her seat, waiting for me to answer her. Looking at her, I knew there was no going back, and I had to tell her what I had seen, and the conversation that I had with the she wolf. Swallowing hard, before I took a deep breath, I finally say to her, “The reason I disobeyed Alpha Gunner was because I saw someone running from the warehouse. I know it was stupid of me to take off after her, but I thought that if she was running then she was the one that knew who was behind all of this.” “Wait, you said she. I was only informed that you were attacked by male rogues.” Trina says to me, and I realize that Alpha Gunner must have informed her about what happened to me, or at least what he had seen and witnessed. Shaking my head, I say to her, “No, there was a she wolf too, and she was the or
Mila’s POV It had been over a week since I had locked myself in my room, but today was the day that I was finally going to come out of hiding with the help and support of Trina. I know that Alpha Gunner wanted me to willingly stay in my room, but if I was to find the she wolf that was involved with all of this within the pack, I needed to face my fears. As Trina and I walked into the dining room for breakfast side by side, all eyes at that moment turned to look at us, and I found myself scanning the room, looking at each and every blonde haired she wolf present, wondering if one of them could be the she wolf I was looking for. My heart at that moment began to race in anticipation, as they all stared right back at me, and for a moment I thought about turning back around and locking myself back in my bedroom.Trina at that moment must have felt my anxiety, and she took a hold of my hand, pulling me from being lost in my head, making me look over at her, b
Mila’s POV Excusing myself, I headed back to the dining room, to where Trina was patiently waiting for me, as I grabbed a plate of food before moving to take a seat next to her. “So, what did Alpha Gunner want?” Trina asks me before my butt even hits the seat, clearly worried that our plan was a no go, which in a way it was, but in another way, it still was on. Grabbing my fork, I looked down at my plate wondering how I could explain to her what just transpired between Alpha Gunner and myself. To be honest, I really don’t know how we easily came to an agreement, especially since the last conversation we had didn’t go so well, with me disobeying him.The only thing I could think of was that he had time to cool off, and I had been behaving for the past week. Either way, he was allowing me some freedom without a fight, and I was going to take it, because it was my safest bet to remain safe but also to be able to mingle among the pack members.Placing my fo
Mila’s POV It didn’t take long for me to find myself lost in the stack of files, as I sat at the small table in Alpha Gunner’s office, while he too worked on a stack that he deemed too important for me to touch. The stack that he had given me consisted of pack normal business, and it didn’t take half a brain to be able to deal with the issues at hand, making me able to fly through most of them without a hitch. But one file in particular was throwing me off, and I must have read it over a hundred times, trying to piece together why there was such an influx recently with the grocery bills. The chart that was attached to the file from the head chef of the house was asking for more money allotted for the groceries to feed the pack, explaining that the stock was not lasting as it used to, making me wonder if there had been added members of the pack to feed within the past couple of months. Needing to know this information to be able to approv
Mila’s POV Deciding against dinner, I laid down on my bed, and pulled out the book I had been reading, but quickly decided against it, as my eyes were tired from all the reading I had already done today. Something within me felt restless, and I don’t know if it was because my wolf was coming soon, along with the full moon, or if it was what the pack doctor had said to me.Either way, I found myself feeling antsy, as I began to pace the room, angry at myself for allowing this situation to deter me from just going to the dining room to meet Trina, scared of what they might do to me or my food. Back home, I would never have allowed myself to feel so insignificant and vulnerable like this, but here I found myself worried constantly that someone was out to get me. Light was fading quickly outside, as fall was slowly creeping up on us, and I couldn’t help but feel sadness in my heart, knowing that the holidays were coming. The realization was hitting me hard that I would h
Mila’s POV Finishing the last file Alpha Gunner had given me, I stood and moved to his desk with the stack of them, making him look up from his own work, as I say to him, “I have finished all the files and requests you have given me for the day.” As I handed them to him, hoping that he would dismiss me for the day, because I wanted to pay the pack doctor a visit before I headed to dinner with Trina. Alpha Gunner took the files from my hand, sitting them to the side on his desk, before he surprisingly said to me, “Good work today, Mila. It is clear that helping your father has taught you a thing or two about pack business, and you will be an asset to me here in my office.” A part of me was elated to finally hear him give me a compliment for the work that I had done today, but another part of me was hurting hearing him call me an asset, as it made me feel like a piece of property to him, which I was. Nevertheless, it was a compliment, espe
Mila’s POV Stepping forward, I introduced myself to Sharon and explained to her that I was the one who had gone over her request, but that I had a few questions to ask her. Thankfully, she wasn’t like her kitchen staff, and greeted me with a warm smile, offering Alpha Gunner and me to take a seat. Once seated, I opened the file with her request, and began to go over the numbers with her, as Alpha Gunner sat there in silence. It wasn’t until I got to the question of whether there were recently more pack members added that he opened his mouth, by saying that there weren’t any new mouths to feed, making me realize that he had been listening carefully to our conversation. “That is what I am not understanding, where all the food is going.” Sharon now says, as if trying to defend herself, and I can tell that she is just at a loss what is happening as I was. Alpha Gunner at that moment got to his feet, as he looked at Sharon, be
