Chapter 2 - My New Life

We’re in the meeting room now and waiting for Alpha Mark for what he has to say. He rarely convenes a meeting unless there is an important mission or announcement in the pack. I’m getting excited to be part of mission again. Last time we help other packs catching rogues who’s been killing young wolves. I remember beheading that psychopath.

‘Mark, where are you?’ I asked through mind link.

"I'm already here, kid." He said as he entered the meeting room.

I just nodded. I have a lot of respect for Mark even though he is often overprotective. He always lecture me about being careful all the time.

"Okay everyone, please listen very carefully. My friend from another pack got a problem with His pack members, they are weak and not trained properly due to the lack of experts in their pack. So, I decided that Kayden, Aden, Simon, Lea and Angel will go there and train their pack members and help them become strong again. I’m doing this because they’ve been allied friends for a long time." Mark said.

"Mark! Why am I with this? You don’t want me leaving our territory, right?" I said.

"Because that is my decision, and because you have known that place, you are also the best and strongest in combat in our group so it is only right that you’re included in this mission." Mark said.

I think I know the place? What pack does it refer to? I didn’t associate with any other pack except ....... The fuck! Don’t tell me it’s……

"Alpha what is the name of the pack we are going to help?" Kayden asked.

“Angel's former pack, The Moon Crescent Pack.”

"Mark, I refuse to join this mission. I'm okay here. There's nothing left to train the fighters but you. You still have a lot of work to do, so I'd better just stay here." I said.

I don't want to see people there. I am not ready to face them and talk to them. Yes, I miss my friend Larni, but is that reason enough for me to show up and socialize with them? Is this a joke?

“I’m ordering you, not asking you Angel.” He looks at Aden, Simon and Lea "You guys can leave but Angel and Kayden need to stay, we still have something to talk about." The others got up and left. "I know that's what you're going to answer Angel, but think about it, this is your chance to show them that you are no longer the former woman they despise and insult. You are strong and powerful. You can now face your brother who has abandoned you and you can even reject your worthless mate. Don't be a coward. A few years have passed. There are many things that can happen to you that will help you improve yourself and give a lesson in your life."

‘He has a point. We cannot hide here for life. I also don’t want to experience the pain caused by our separation from Claw and Gabriel. We are now the opposite of the girl they knew and hurt.’ Slade.

'But...... do you think I can?' Me

'No, you can't!!! because WE CAN." Slade emphasize the last two words. ‘We can all do it as long as we are together. There a lot people love and protect us now. They can no longer hurt us, one more thing, I am the most powerful wolf in the world right now. They can't hurt me again.’

"Okay Mark, I'm in. When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow, five in the morning. They are expecting you the next day since our pack is far from each other. You have a long journey so be careful, by the way you will all use the car. I do not want you to travel to forest and you might even meet rogues, I have already processed your permit for another pack you will pass through. Is that clear? " He asked using his Alpha tone.

"Yes Alpha!" Kayden and I answered.

*******

"Are you really okay?" Kayden asked after we left Mark's office and are now arranging things for our departure tomorrow.

"What do you think?" I stopped what I’m doing and sat down on my bed. "I also hid from them for a long time, I don’t know what happened after I left. Did they look for me? I don’t want to hide anymore. I also don’t want to lock myself in the past. I want to move forward."

Kayden held my hands. "I'm just here, I'm with you there. Do not think that you are alone because I will not leave you."

"I'm lucky because I met you and Mark. I used to think I was going to die alone but you came and helped me."

"Because we know that you're special. You also helped to change Alpha Mark. A big part of his personality was lost when his sister died, but because of you, he gradually recovered."

"We are getting emotional, you have to packed your things and I need to finish mine, so now shoooo! I need space."

"Okay. Go to bed early so you can wake up early tomorrow. We both know that you’re a heavy sleeper. Don’t over think and Let the problem, problem you." He said before he leaves.

'How will Michael react when he sees me again?'

'Let's think more about how Gabriel will react when he sees us again. I tell you this in advance, I will not let him hurt us again. Even if we mate him, I might kill him.' Slade said.

'Slade, your head is getting hot. You always want to hurt someone. We are not like that, if the others are like that, we are not.'

'In today's world, all the weak are oppressed, so we need to be brave even when we are weak inside.'

'But tell me Slade, do you still like Claw?'

'How about you, do you still like Gabriel?'

I don’t know the answer to that question now. If Gabriel is still the same as before, there is a good chance that I will lose all my feelings for him. But deep inside, I know that I still hope that he has changed somehow, even though I experience pain in my heart several times, I still hope that when I come back everything will be clear and I need to fully accept the rejection then I will do it.

Moon Goddess, what are planning up there for me?
