I could hear the sound of their footsteps behind me, pounding the ground with each step. I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins, propelling me forward as I ran for my life. But no matter how fast I ran, the guards were always right behind me.

One of the guards lunged forward, his arm outstretched to grab me. I could feel his fingers graze my clothes, but I managed to twist out of his grip and keep running. Another guard tried to cut me off, but I darted to the side and continued on my path.

I could hear them shouting, angry that I had managed to slip away from them. They were getting closer, their voices growing louder with each passing second. I could see their forms in the distance, silhouetted against the moonlight.

As I ran, I stumbled over a tree root and nearly fell. My heart pounded in my chest as I scrambled to my feet and kept going. The guards were getting closer, their breath hot on my neck.

But I refused to give up. I pushed myself harder, my legs aching wit

    ELSA's POVI woke up to the sound of the door creaking open. The physician came in with a tray of medical supplies. I sat up on my bed, my eyes still swollen and my body still aching. I watched as the physician placed the tray on the table beside my bed and pulled up a chair to sit beside me.He began to examine my wounds, starting with the one on my forehead. He gently touched it, causing me to wince in pain. He apologized and then proceeded to clean it with some antiseptic. The smell of it was overwhelming, making me feel dizzy. He then wrapped a bandage around my head, making sure it was snug but not too tight.He then moved to my arm, which was bruised and swollen. He asked me to hold out my arm, which I did with some difficulty. He examined it, and I winced again when he touched a particularly tender spot. He muttered something under his breath and then began to apply some ointment to the bruise. The ointment was cool and soothing, and I felt some relief from the pain.He then mo

    ELSA's POV2 WEEKS LATER.I woke up the next morning feeling a bit sore from the previous day's events, but there was no time for rest. Gunther had ordered me to be punished, and I knew that I had to go through with it. I got up and dressed quickly, feeling a mix of shame and embarrassment as I put on my simple clothes. As I made my way down to the courtyard, I could feel eyes on me from every direction. The pack members who had gathered to watch my punishment made me feel like an outsider like I didn't belong. I tried my best to keep my head down and ignore their stares, but it was impossible not to feel the weight of their judgment.When I arrived at the center of the courtyard, I saw that they had set up a large wooden post with chains hanging from it. I knew that I would be chained to it and that the pack members would take turns delivering lashes to my back as punishment for my attempted escape.I took a deep breath and tried to steady myself as they chained me to the post.

    I got up the next day to the same pains again, the welts were still so vividly red and raw. I shuddered at the sight and couldn't help but feel like I had been hit by a train. I was so sore and exhausted, but I knew I had to keep moving. I had to clean the community and do whatever else the pack needed of me.However, despite my to-do list, I couldn't shake off the need to speak to Nia. I needed to know how she was doing and if she was okay. I felt like I had let her down and I couldn't bear the thought of her being disappointed in me. But it seemed like every time I tried to find a moment to speak with her, something else came up.As I walked through the halls, I noticed that the pack members were giving me a wide berth. Some looked at me with pity while others looked at me with disgust. I felt like an outcast like I didn't belong. I was just a punishment to them, not a person.I finally found a moment to myself and I snuck away to the courtyard. When I reached the courtyard and saw

    I wake up feeling heavy and lethargic, my body refusing to budge from the soft sheets. The warmth of the sun seeps in through the window, casting a soft glow across the room. I blink my eyes, trying to get rid of the sleep that still lingers in them. But even as I sit up, I feel a dull ache in my head.I stretch, trying to ease the tension in my muscles, but it only seems to make it worse. I can feel the soreness in my arms and legs as if I've been working out too hard. But I haven't done anything to warrant this kind of exhaustion.As I sit up, I notice that I'm sweating profusely, my body covered in a thin sheen of sweat. I'm not even sure how long I've been asleep, but it doesn't feel like it's been enough. My mind is foggy, and I struggle to remember what I was thinking about before I drifted off.I glance at the clock on the wall, and it takes me a moment to focus on the numbers. It reads 10 am, but it feels like it should be much later in the day. I try to get up, but my body fe

    ELSA's POVI spent most of my time trying to find a new way to escape the Pack. I knew I had to be smarter this time, to have a foolproof plan. I spent hours on end pacing back and forth in my room, going over different scenarios in my head. I searched for weak spots in the Pack's security, trying to find a way out.I knew I couldn't just run blindly like I did before, I needed a solid plan. I looked out my window and studied the surrounding area, hoping to find a loophole in the security measures.As I sat in my room, I couldn't help but think about Nia. I missed her dearly and wished I could talk to her. But I knew it was risky, as any contact with her would only put her in danger. I had to be careful and not drag anyone else into my mess.But still, I couldn't help but feel so alone. The Pack was all I knew, but I couldn't stay here any longer. I needed to escape and start a new life, away from all of this.Days turned into weeks, and I still couldn't come up with a solid plan. I w

    I stood in the corner of the training room, panting heavily as I tried to catch my breath. My chest heaved with each labored breath, and my muscles ached from the intense training session I had just endured. I wiped the sweat from my brow and looked up, meeting the cold, steely gaze of Alpha Arthur."What were you thinking?" he growled, his voice low and menacing. "You know the rules. No magic outside of class."I flinched at the tone of his voice, feeling the weight of his disapproval bearing down on me. I knew I had messed up, but I had never expected him to be so angry. I lowered my eyes, ashamed of my foolishness."I'm sorry, Alpha," I murmured, barely audible above the pounding of my own heart."Sorry isn't good enough," he snapped. "You know the consequences of breaking the rules. You will spend the next week in the cell, and if I catch you using magic outside of class again, you'll be in there for a month."My heart sank as I realized the severity of my punishment. A week in th

    Elsa's POVReading in a small cage was fun. At least I thought was. After my recent vendetta and disappointing outcome I decided it was time I stopped wasting my time and learn something, wouldn't hurt right? The walls were cold and the very flat sleeping bag I was given wasn't very ideal but it was useable. Nia had come to drop off some books for me. She left almost immediately doing so, no words were spoken. I knew I still owed her an explanation but it wasn't one I wanted to blurt out. She was great to bring me books and I was grateful for that.The books were in a physical fitness training genre and being in detention wasn't going to stop me from training with it. Nia knew that and it was probably why she gave the books to me.It was the fourth afternoon in and after intense self-training I decided to take a nap. As I fell deeper and deeper into slumber, I found myself in a very green area, probably an island because of the excess green leaves and red fruits. I was walking further

    Nia's POV"What am I going to wear? I need something that spells change. I want something that can convince the alpha that I'm not going to run anymore." Elsa repeated for at least the fifth time since I stepped into her room. "You can wear anything you like, this dinner is just like the others, It's not a big deal." I tried reassuring her, I could see where she was coming from, and why she was anxious."No, I need to give the impression that I'm a changed person now. I have put everyone, especially the alpha and you through difficult times believe me when I say this is the very least of the things I plan to do to make it up to you guys." She said, pulling out a cute-looking sundress from her dresser. From the look on her face, it was obvious she had found the perfect dress to wear. I wasn't done talking though."Can I ask you a question?""Yes.""Where is the most important part of your body? That part that determines who you are?" I asked and Elsa thought for a while before answeri

    ELSA'S POVBy the time it was evening, I was sickly tired waiting for Arthur to show up. He had boldly asked me not to come, that I should enjoy my day but if I was honest, I swear that I had done anything but enjoy today. Be anxious? sure. Get mad? Definitely. Shiver? Hmm-mm. Get happy a tad? Sure again. I had rocked and rocked and rocked, getting so tired of waiting that evening. I was about to go west my fancy jacket and go have this uncertain conversation with him that is scary with him when the door knob turned and I froze. Arthur came in and to my pleasure and displeasure, he wore a giant smile on his face probably happy that he could finally see me, honestly after my mini-investigation in the semi-afternoon, I was not so sure anymore."Hey, well... Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. A kiss?" He asked, walking towards me in such a hurry, you might mistake me for the breath of life. He looked so good and I knew I could get easily distracted by that but I chose not to. I rose a han

    ELSA'S POVOur wedding night had not been what I thought it was going to be. It was everything I imagined and more and the fact that I did not get any sleep was pleasing instead of stressful. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I could not find Arthur, I sat up, rubbing my eyes from the pleasing exhaustion at the same time. I looked around and if I was being honest just as I felt different, in a good way, the room looked different too. So different and good too. I flashed a smile to myself as I thought that of course it would look different because I was not in my room, I was in Arthur's room or if I was being accurate, I would say my room. I got up from the bed and walked swiftly to the mirror, naked. I looked at myself in the mirror and not only did I feel different, I looked different. There were hickeys on my neck and ear, it was certainly an interesting look. I wore the robe I found on Arthur's side of the bed, which was made and a white card that had little hearts on it. I

    ELSA'S POVThe big wedding was in motion. I mean the planning was in motion but it was the same thing. Most people were so surprised when Arthur gave the announcement that day. Shocked to the brim and beyond while some smiled and nodded their approval. The rest just glared at me as though they would have loved to stab me with a knife if it was allowed. Shreds. And I did not even blame them, I was still surprised myself. I was so excited just as I was anxious. I still had a baby growing in me and I did not know the father and I was freaking out. I could scratch my own eyes out. Just as the wedding planning was in set, so was my running away planning. I needed to flee with my head still intact."What are doing in here staring at the wall?" I turned and saw Nia standing at the door with an amused look on her face. I flashed her a smile and shook my head slowly, thinking of what to say. "Arthur has been smiling since yesterday, I am so surprised that his jaw is not been hurting yet." She

    ELSA'S POVI had no idea that there was a cabin back here. When Emily directed me here it was like she had been blabbing. I had walked this whole place and this was the first time I was seeing this place. I guess the structure of the house was weird. I stood in front of the 'invisible' cabin and searched for the most important words at that moment. I knew the words I wanted to say were that I loved him so much, that l was willing to put away the paralysis of fear that held me down, and that I wanted to be his wife. That I was going to be his wife. That was the most important one. I took three bold and quiet steps up the small stair that had its wood painted red. Nice.My stomach rumbled in fear and my heart thudded against my chest. I raised my hands to knock and surprisingly on the first attempt it landed on the door with a very faint thud, produ

    NIA'S POV"I wanted it to be a surprise for you. But I just needed something to give me an edge and make you listen to me. I love you and if staying here will make you believe it then I'm staying here and I'm not leaving. But that depends on what you think of it all. I need to be sure that you are comfortable with it. I don't want to shove anything down your throat and force you to want this just because I do. Do you understand?" He asked and I nodded. A big smile on my face."Woah. I love how you put things and I love that you are doing this for me. You have no idea how much it means to me, Silas. I have never been in love and most importantly I have never had someone love me to the extent of wanting to make a big change as big as what you just announced to make me happy. And I love you too. So much." I said and he closed his eyes for a moment, s

    NIA'S POVThere he was. Silas, sat at the edge of the large rock everyone seemed to like. I smiled lightly at the cliche of happy things. I had searched everywhere for him, now that I think about it, why did I not search for him here before going to their tent area? Silly of me.I walked further into the space and I saw a striking blonde woman, who if I was being honest, I had nothing on. Why was Silas talking to this woman out here in the love garden? And why was I suddenly comparing this woman whom I did not know to myself? Insecurities were never a friend. Silas turned to look at them and immediately stood up, putting a clever distance between the both of them as if they were close. They were not. So why was he tripping?"Hey! Um... Hi." He said, grasping for words to say. I gave him a tight-lipped smile and nodded to tell him that I had heard the first greeting and he did not need to repeat it."Hi, if you have a company that would stay long then maybe I should come back, I was th

    URSULA'S POV"Woah, mum. You are not selling my sister and definitely not the same man you sold me off to. I will not let that happen. If you need the money do bad and Dad can't control his silly problem and you love him so much, why don't you just go get married to Arthur yourself." I said they both gasped. Okay even though I was angry at that moment I had to admit it was nice to actually get a reaction from my father. He was such a doll sometimes. But apparently, he was not when he was being irresponsible with his money, ordering the servants and selling off his children."You dashed everything I once wanted for myself a few years ago and I am not going to let you do that to Sasha too. You do not even ask us what we want, or what we need. You just know that you have to get your money up and running. Did you ask her what she wanted?" I asked and my mother gestured behind me."She's right behind you and you can use your ears to hear that she was okay with it." I turned around and saw

    URSULA'S POVWe all just sat there, no words being said. I guess maybe we were all basking in the memory we had spent in the house. I could not just let the house sell, it was unacceptable, that was where I had my first steps, and said my first words. I opened my mouth, then closed it again. Convinced that even if words were going to come out it was going to be all memories and not help anybody in the current situation we were in. A question finally came out."Um... So how did this happen and why was I not informed sooner?" I finally asked, tired. My family had no perks, only disadvantages. It was maddening and annoying."Well, we thought we could fix it on our own and still think we can fix it, we just need time and six days is no time." My mother said, looking over her shoulders at my father who still had his back on the chair. I wondered how he was still calm enough after all this bad news, it was his farm and he had a lot of land to use. I mean I would not go hungry, cannot. I was

    URSULA'S POVThe smile that was on my face when I saw that Nia and Gloria were talking was very big. I wore a big smile on my face because that was enough proof to know that the story I had given her had worked. I wanted this meeting to have a very successful outcome and I knew that could not happen if the two key people involved could not deal with each other, it would not be a success. It would be a big disaster and I did not want that.Now that that seemed settled, I looked around, my eyes searching for Andrew. It was a dreaded day for Arthur, for everyone, but I bet he was with him. The event had already begun and the both of them were still not seen so I could bet that some pep talks were being carried out. There were a lot of faces here, a lot of young faces eager to be the lycan king's wife if only they knew that it was no fairytale but rather it was a nightmare I would bet my ass that they would not be here right now with big smiles on their faces. My eyes caught what seemed t
