**** As I walked through the empty streets, a heaviness settled upon my chest, pressing down on my soul. The weight of my disappointment was suffocating, and I couldn't hold back the flood of tears that streamed down my face. Each step felt like an uphill battle, my weary legs carrying the burden o
EMILY. As I walked into work that day, a lingering unease gnawed at my mind. I couldn't shake off the troubling incident from my last shift, where my wolf form had inexplicably decreased in size. It was a baffling phenomenon that left me perplexed and anxious. Shapeshifting was a fundamental part o
Images of my wolf form flickered in my mind, a whirlwind of memories and emotions. I remembered the first time I shifted, the exhilaration and freedom that came with it. I recalled the sense of power and grace as I ran through moonlit forests, the wind rustling through my fur. Shape shifting had alw
EMILY. The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, gently nudging me awake from my slumber. As consciousness returned, I found myself enveloped in a sense of inexplicable happiness, a warm glow that suffused every fiber of my being. I stretched lazily, savoring the comforting embrace of m
How could I face the Pack, my fellow shifters, knowing that my wolf had diminished in size? The shame and self-doubt threatened to engulf me, shattering the foundation of the newfound joy that had sustained me throughout the day. I felt the weight of judgment pressing down upon me, envisioning their
Whispers began to circulate, words that reached my ears with a sting sharper than any physical pain. "Is that it? Such a small wolf," one voice murmured, dripping with disappointment. "I never expected her to be so... inadequate," another added, their words laced with a subtle disdain. My packmates
They were right, it's been years since we heard that I won't be able to give birth again, a change might happen in another year. Then all of a sudden, I heard the sound of the breaking of the air and I quickly dodged to the side. Then, I felt a stinging pain on my waist. When I looked down, I saw
But whenever I remember the look on their faces before they turned back at me and the fact that I still had their mark on me, I would lose the courage to hurt myself. Also, there was a part in me that wanted to take revenge for my daughter but in the condition that I was in at that point, I could n
EMILY'S POV. My face was a mask of resignation, a facade that concealed the raw ache of my sadness, my true emotions hidden beneath a carefully crafted veneer. My movements became slow and deliberate as if the weight of my sadness had settled upon my bones, making even the simplest tasks laboriou
"What took you so long? Did you forget that we were waiting for you?" The mean looking woman said but I just kept quiet without saying anything. "Now, that everything is done, I hereby use this chance to banish Emily from this pack, she will not enter the vicinity of the pack no matter what, now s
B..but, I was helpless. There was nothing I could do, I did not want them to suffer for my mistakes. They've not done anything wrong and it was all my fault so I should suffer for my mistakes. "Stop dilly-dallying around, let's do the ritual." The old man said again and I finally stood up weakly.
EMILY'S POV. "She can't stay here any more and that's final, if you continue to disobey, you will be sent into the pack's inner dungeon for ten years or even more." The hunched old man said and my heart skipped a bit Inner dungeon? Why were they so cruel? In every pack, there must always be tw
Although I had wondered who could be behind it all, I was not so bothered about it because it was exactly what I wanted. My plan had started to work too. I also told Matt to start spreading rumors about Emily's inability to give birth to any other child. I wanted to start shaking the brother's foun
"The others are also the same, they believed that following you would not do any good and they won't be able to gain anything and as you know, those people are only after gains and profit, so it is rational that they stayed behind and turned their back against you." "So, My Lord, how will you do it
