Chapter 2: The Disappearance

I was near at the pack border when I heard a pain filled howl. Deep down I know that it came from him, from my mate.

He must have realized that I have been gone missing, My heart aches all over, It feel like it is getting stab over and over again.

I was one step in crossing the border. Officially stepping out and leaving no trace behind. 

Sweet memories flashed through my mind.

From the moment I smelt him, The first time that I've felt the sparks spreading throughout my body as our hands intertwined for the first time. Then another scene flashed on my mind with me standing on the makeshift stage and accepting the luna position of the Blood Stone Pack. The day that he proposed to me. The day that I found out I was carrying a pup and until my silent goodbye, not even an hour ago.

I will cherish those days for the rest of my life, until my very last breath. Those memories will be embed forever in my mind.

I continued on walking until I reached the edge of the territory. 

I took a deep breath, This is it. I will sort everything out as quick as I can, until then the distance between us will keep them safe. 

Just as I was about to set foot outside of the territory I heard another howl, This one is more intense than his previous one.

His howl has made me stopped and consider the decision that I'm making.

Was this right?

Am I making a right decision?

Why does it hurt so much?

My eyes started to sting as the tears started to fall. Soon tears are now continuously streaming down my cheeks. 

And I dont know if they will stop soon.

I was clenching my fist when I felt a tap on my mind.

'Where are you?' I was so shocked when I heard his voice in my head. I was so damn sure that I put up my mental walls right before I run. It must have crumbled down when I was remembering some bitter sweet memories.

I did the only logical thing I could think of.

I opened up the mind link connecting to every single one pack member and said the words that I know will hurt them forever.

'I, Luna Monica of Blood Stone Pack steps down as your Luna and I will pass my duties and title to my daughter Erica. I love each and everyone of you. The years that I have spent here in Blood Stone pack is filled with endless happiness and it is with a heavy heart that I will say my goodbyes to you all.' with that I closed the pack link. I was confident that my daughter will grow up as a fine leader one day. The pack members will be there to guide her always. 

The link between my mate is still open and I took that as an opportunity to tell him something even more heart wretching.

'I, Luna Monica of Blood Stone Pack -'

'baby please , come back. We'll figure this out' His voice was laced with pain and anguish. Swallowing hard I was able to transmit the mental message of me rejecting my other half.

'-rejects you Alpha Gabriel of Blood Stone Pack I hope that you'll forgive me.'

And just like that I started to build my mental wall and let more tears that I'm holding back flow freely. 

Stepping out of the border and at that moment I felt all the ties to my pack snap. Officially becoming a Rogue.

It hasn't been 3 seconds since I became a rogue when I got hit by a brute force coming from an unknown source.

My body is flying mid air and with a loud thud I felt my back and head collide with a solid surface.

Getting smacked at a huge tree almost 10 feet away from where I was last standing hurts like a bitch.

The bark scratched my back creating multiple lesions. I could feel some even dug up on skin.

Groaning loudly when I fell to the ground with my back. I tried to roll over to lay on my front to prevent any pressure on my back area.

Even if my vision started to get fuzzy I can make out a silhouette of a man emerging from the shadows.

"Well well well, Who do we have here." His voice sounds so familiar. I tried to remember but the pain that I'm experiencing is fogging up my mind.

His silhouette grows bigger and bigger as he get nearer with every step he make.

Still lying on my front with my right cheek firmly planted on the ground I managed to make out a snarl, warding off the unknown.

And all I get from him is a chuckle.

When he got close enough. He knelt down.

His cold clammy hands gripped my jaw forcing me to look at him. I let out a gasp as I saw his face clearly.

There I saw the face of a man that made me live in a world of nightmare for many years. The man who I was trying to run away from.

He let out a cackle, a clear indication that he had gone mad.

"At last! I've finally got you. Luna Monica of Blood Stone Pack or should I say Monica the direct descendant of the first hybrid."

I felt my stomach drop as fear suddenly enveloped me. I've never told anyone my real identity and I don't plan on telling it.

But how did he know?

How did he find me?

He started to grip my neck rather tightly, cutting off my air supply. My vision started to get blurry as I tried to pry off his figers around my neck. 

Looking up I saw that the Blood Moon was at its peak and that is the moment that I surrendered everything to the darkness.
