Episode 3

It was bearable to have everyone hate you for taking Luna's life, which they all concluded was somewhat better, but having your father, who caused your birth, also hate you, hurts so terribly, and I can't help but feel deeply broken!

"Making her a slave isn't enough!" the Beta's mate chipped in, and I felt my heart flinch...

I just wonder if she will ever have a mate. Who would be her mate? That person is so unlucky, she is surely going to kill him like the monster she is! " The Beta snorted.

"Can we just banish her away from this pack?" the Luna, Elf, spoke out for the first time, and my heart leapt off its ribs. I looked up at her abruptly.

That is the worst thing that can ever happen to a werewolf. Being a rogue is the same as being killed, just that it is more shameful. You will forever be a disgrace. Any Alpha who finds you will take your life immediately. You are surely going to be treated like a leper.

Tears covered my eyes as I drifted my gaze, and it fell on the Alpha King's eyes. It was like he was contemplating the words of Elf, 

"I think I would do.."

He couldn't finish his talk before I lost balance and fainted.

I can't bear hearing it. He really wants to banish me!!

********

My eyes fluttered and opened wide as a full bucket of water was splashed on my whole body. Cold shrills went through me as I sprang.

I looked up to see who poured the water on me and saw it was one of the guards. The floor turned so cold, making me sit up immediately...

I rubbed my face to clear my vision. Great weakness took over me. My head hurt so badly that it was pounding like hell, making me feel dizzy.

"Get out of there and back to work.Do you think fainting can save you?" I heard the gruff tone of the guard with a kick, which followed shortly.

I arched my brow as my brain went blank. I couldn't recall what brought me here, and now, he mentioned fainting. I was so confused at how and why I fainted...

"Would you get your a***s off there, you monster?" The voice got louder and echoed in my skull, accompanied by a heavy knock this time. 

I shrieked at the pain before springing up abruptly. The pounding in my head increased after the knock and I felt like I would die. The pain was just so excruciating...

With my blurry vision, I looked around and saw that I was in an empty room. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again. This time I could see a bit clearer...

My eyes rolled over every corner of the room, then I realized I was in the dungeon.

Really???

My eyes widened, and I stared at the guards with a questioning look...

"What am I doing here and how did I get here?" I asked and got no reply as they all walked out with those grim faces that made them scarier...

The pungent scent played with my nostrils, making me feel like throwing up. My stomach grumbled both from hunger and the awful odor. That was the reason the men left quick.

At the very least, I wasn't bound in here. This has to be the worst place anyone could be kept; even a day here can kill you and your wolf. Who could bear this foul odor?

Shit!!

I finally got out and headed to the dining room. My gaze went over to the plates on the table, and that was when all that happened flashed through my head, making me cringe in terror.

My eyes widened as I quivered looking around. I can now recall why I fainted. Yes, Luna had requested the Alpha should banish me from the pack. She had said it and I could remember the Alpha agreed, although I couldn't stand to hear it all, that was what he was about to say.

"I think that is..." 

My hands shivered with my lips quivering. I moved over to the table and arranged the empty plates together. Hot tears were rolling freely. Why would they all be cruel to me? Was I a devil? Did I really kill Luna?

I can't give a reply to all this. My side of the story isn't needed. They already gave me the conclusion...

I am a demon!

Furthermore, I head to the kitchen and drop the empty plates before returning to the ones with leftover food, which eventually becomes my meal.

I took it with the wines before heading to the kitchen, where I sat on the stool and devoured everything. My stomach wasn't full, but that wasn't what I cared about; I was even forcing myself to eat the food. I was hungry, but there wasn't any appetite, not when I'd be banished and hunted by Alphas...

As I slid the plate into the sink, a tear fell from my eyes...

I began to wash the plates quickly. Everyone would surely be busy with different matters outside. The Alpha and Luna would be in the palace addressing issues, others would be really busy going well with life while I'm stuck here. That's it. They restrained my movement.

My peers would be in the woods now, enjoying the wood scent and cold breeze. They would be beside the stream, playing in their wolf form. Oh yes, Even the Alpha's children would be in the garden now playing with other kids from other pack houses, it is so painful to be rejected.

Each time I look through the window and observe the beauty of the garden and woods, each time I look at the wolves enjoying themselves freely with no worries, it breaks my heart. The last time I tried sneaking out, I instantly regretted it. Dorian reported me immediately when he spotted my presence. I don't need to explain what I went through that day...

It was a day to remember. The Alpha hit me with his strong palm. I bled and felt intense pain. It was clear I was a disgrace, and he didn't just want anyone to see me. I was a stroke of bad luck, a curse...

That is just what he believed, including all the Royal Pack members.

After some minutes, I was done with the washing. I got to my room and headed to the bathroom. Sinking myself into the rusty bathtub, I poured water on myself from the bucket beside the tub...

I won't just stop shedding tears. I must have been banished, and they would be waiting for me to wake up and meet them. Maybe my dad must have even called a meeting of the generals and special advisers. He might have invited the royal chambers to officially announce my banishment.

Oh gosh, why is life so cruel to me?

I cried to myself. I whimpered, regretting coming to this world. After some minutes, I was done bathing and got to my room. Three royal guards were waiting for me already.

What???

My heart flipped at their presence. I didn't need a soothsayer to know that something bad was going to happen. What if they had come to take me to the palace?

"How can I help you, please?" I mumbled with fear. My hands were visibly shaking.

I dare not ask why they barged in without knocking. It would only lead to another round of beatings and no one is going to save me...

"You still got the time to bathe?" One of them sneered.

"The Alpha has ordered your immediate presence in the palace." Another growled, with those harsh tones that cause you to piss in your pants.

I could only nod as more terror swept through me. Do I need to doubt it?

My nightmare is about to come to reality. He is going to make me a rogue for killing his wife and looking like a demon.

"She even took her bath. I can't believe she is unaware of what is about to happen to her." The last guard grumbled, and my head pounded so terribly, hot tears fell off continuously.
