Calla’s POV

I woke up feeling well-rested for the first time in what felt like ages. My body was sore from the torture I had endured at the hands of Lucian the previous day, but the peacefulness of my sleep had erased most of the pain. I took my time getting out of bed and stretched my limbs, enjoying the feeling of my muscles relaxing.

I took a good look at my body, most of the wounds had healed up leaving behind dark purple scars. At least being a werewolf is that wounds healed quickly. But the wounds made to my heart and mind remained fresh.

I slowly got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom, turning on the shower to let the warm water wash over my body.

As I walked into the bathroom, I turned on the hot water and watched as the steam began to rise from the showerhead. I undressed and stepped into the warm, cascading water, letting it wash over me.

    I stormed out of the pack house, my anger boiling over. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I needed to cool off, to find some peace, somewhere away from everything. But as I walked through the quiet streets of the town, I couldn't shake off the frustration and resentment that was building up inside me.As I reached the park, I slumped down on a bench, letting out a deep sigh. It was then I felt a soft hand on my shoulder, and I turned to see Stephanie, the Beta's mate, looking at me with concern."Hey, Calla," Stephanie said softly, sitting down next to me. "I thought you were in your room then I saw you leave the house, hope you are okay?"I shook my head, still too angry to speak. Stephanie didn't push me, simply sitting quietly, waiting for me to calm down. After a few minutes, I finally spoke."I'm just so frustrated, Steph," I said, my voice trembling. "Lucian doesn't seem to understand how I feel. He seems so focused on making my life miserable, just imagine what he did."Stephani

    Calla’s POVJust after Lucian stormed out of the restaurant, Stephanie leaned over to me and whispered, "You should go apologize to Lucian."I furrowed my brows in confusion. "Apologize for what?" "I haven't done anything wrong to him."Stephanie sighed, clearly frustrated with my stubbornness. Just go talk to him. "He is obviously mad at you."I shook my head, unwilling to budge. "I don't see why I should apologize for anything."With that, I returned to my food, ignoring the rest of the group's conversation as my mind drifted off into my own thoughts.I couldn't help but think about how I still didn't have any friends in the pack, despite being back for a while now. It seemed like everyone was either against me or simply didn't want to associate with me.Even Stephanie, who had been so insistent on us going out to lunch, didn't seem genuine in her attempts to befriend me. I couldn't shake off the feeling that she had some ulterior motive for wanting to spend time with me.Lost in my

    Calla’s POV“Get off me, you beast!!!” I struggled to wriggle free from his grip. I jumped off the bed immediately and stood a safe distance from him. “You must be very stupid to do this!”“Don’t make this hard.” Lucian’s voice sounded slurry.“Are you crazy or something??” I yelled. “You literally want to have sex with me, against my will!!!”Lucian only stared at me blankly. It looked like a go-ahead to keep shouting.“Is it because I did not agree to be your mate? Look Lucian, I don't care if you are the strongest and richest Alpha in this parts. Don't you ever think you can have your way with anybody you want.”At the moment, my mind and heart was so messed and derailed. I felt insulted by Lucian’s action towards me. Does he think I am just like one of his pleasure mistresses?I saw a smirk spanned across his face.“Don't be so naive and hot-headed.”I cut off sharply. “So not letting you have sex with me makes me naive? Wonderful!”“The truth is that you can't get out of this pack

You're safe now."She nodded weakly, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. I handed her a tissue, and she blew her nose. I sat next to her on the bed, holding her hand in mine."You're not alone, Calla," I said softly. "You have me. And I promise you, everything will be okay. You're a strong woman, and you can get through this."She looked at me, her eyes red and puffy. "Do you really think so?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper."I do," I replied, nodding. "You're a survivor, Calla. You've been through so much, and yet you're still standing. You're stronger than you know."I could see the doubt in her
