Shocked and devastated, Veronica did not know who to call for help. Even if she did call for help, no one would hear her and she doubted if anyone would want to help her. Besides, she will only be attracting trouble because the trap was possibly set by rogue wolves.

She knew she had no one to call but herself, hence, she had to do something and she had to do it fast.

“Scott? Scott? Can you hear me?” She began to call him but got no response.

“Please if you can hear me, answer me, please, Scott. You're scaring me. Scott!!!!” She screamed as she spoke, not caring if her voice was loud enough to attract anything dangerous.

Seeing as he wasn't responsive, hot tears welled up in her eyes and she began to cry. This was the only person she has met since she was trapped in that forest and now it seemed like she had lost him too. She sat on the bare ground and cried so much until her eyes began to hurt.

As she cried, her eyes caught a glimpse of a rope tied to a branch and immediately, a thoug

    The warriors got back to the pack late at night and their Leader immediately reported to the Alpha's quarters to update him on the situation of things.Alpha Marcus and Beta Richard were both waiting for the warriors in the Alpha's throne room. Alpha Marcus was seated on his throne, while Beta Richard was pacing when the Leader of the warriors arrived.“Did you find him? Did you find my Son?” Beta Richard immediately began to ask him as soon as he approached them.“Calm down, Richard. Allow the young man to talk.” Alpha Marcus said to him.“I'm sorry, Alpha. I just got impatient.” He replied with a slight tone of impatience. The leader knelt on one knee and bowed to the Alpha, who then signaled to him to get up.“Any positive news?” Alpha Marcus asked him.“I'm so sorry but I'm afraid, we've not been able to find him yet.” Leader said, bowing his head.Angry and disappointed, Alpha Marcus sprung to his feet and began to question him, “What do you mean you've not found him yet?

    Soon the new day broke and Scott finally woke up to Veronica's eyes watching him like a hawk. She didn't sleep a wink throughout the night. She kept watching him and as soon as she saw his eyes open, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief.“Scott, you're awake? Oh my, I'm so happy.” She said with tears in her eyes as she helped him sit up.“I thought I had lost you.” She cried and hugged him.“What happened? Where are we? How did we end up in here?” He kept asking numerous questions as he rubbed his eyes and yawned.“Well, it’s a pit. You fell in and passed out. I had to come in to get you.” She said and Scott could almost not believe his ears.“I did what? You did what? Geez! So much happened!” He exclaimed, unable to contain his shock at the turn of events.“The last thing I remember was getting fruits and you jumping down from the tree because I had something dangerous with me and I almost ate it if not for you.” He explained but suddenly held his head because he felt a sharp pain

    **FIRE DAWN PACK** “You're going hunting?” Megan asked, shocked, with her eyes almost popping out of their sockets. “Yes, Megan, is there anything wrong with that?” Steve asked, still sharpening his tools. Megan was the daughter of one of the most respected wolves in the pack and she was also treated with so much respect. He lifted his head to look at her and seeing her eyes, he burst into laughter. “And what is funny?” She asked him, confused. “You, Megan. You look really funny with those eyes.” He answered, still laughing and she frowned. “Can't you be serious for once? You keep joking about everything.” She said, still frowning. “I'm sorry, but you should have seen your face.” He replied, trying so hard to hold in his laughter. “Don't you know how dangerous it is to go into the forest now? I mean, someone has been missing for days and could be dead or something, yet you want to go into that same forest to hunt?” She asked, almost screaming his ear off. “Dead? Come on, Meg

    ***FIRE DAWN PACK***~HOURS EARLIER~The warriors finally arrived at the pack and the first person they met at the gate was Scott's father, Beta Richard. As soon as he saw them with his son who was still unconscious, he couldn't believe his eyes. He immediately ran towards them.“Good afternoon, Beta Richard, we finally found him.” The leader announced as soon as they got to him.“Thank you, thank you for finding my son.” He said, overjoyed as he took the boy from their hands.He looked at the unconscious boy and back to the warrior, confused as to why it looked like he wasn't breathing, “Why is he not awake? Is he…?” He asked, uncertain of what the response will be.“Oh, no, I think he is just unconscious at the moment. He became like this soon after we found him. I'm guessing he needs to….” He was yet to finish explaining when Beta Richard turned and headed to the hospital, running as fast as he could.In just a few minutes, the members of the pack had gathered together, with some c

    ~PRESENT MOMENT~“I can't believe he left me here. I thought he was going to help me.” Veronica thought to herself, seriously heartbroken. “Such a coward! He just ran off like a coward.” She muttered, sniffling, as she wiped off a tear which had escaped her eyes and sat back on the bare ground in the pit.She felt so bad that right at the moment when she thought her salvation had come and she was about to be saved, it turned out that her saviour, for reasons best known to him, left her and ran off.“Well, what am I living for then? No one wants me. No one wants to be associated with me. Am I that bad? So I really have such a bad energy and aura around me that people flee whenever they want to help me or be with me? Why do I keep getting into different misfortunes, one after another?” She had so many questions on her mind waiting to be answered but who exactly would answer these questions? She had no idea.“I think I am really cursed. That is definitely the only way to explain all the

    “I'm Veronica.” She replied.“I guess it's nice to meet you?” Steve said to her, unsure of the right words to say.“Yeah, I guess.” She said with a little smile at the corner of her lip.“So, tell me, how did you find yourself here?” He asked, looking around but she kept mute. “I mean, this is not the kind of place that anyone would love to be just for the fun of it, right?” He added and she nodded without saying a word.“So? Were you hunting or something?” He asked her with furrowed brows but she still didn't answer. “Even though I highly doubt that that is the case.” He added, shrugging.“Really? Why?” She asked, turning to him.“Well, you look nothing like a hunter to me.” He stated, taking a good look at her physique from her head to her toe and right at that moment he noticed what he had failed to notice since his encounter with Veronica.“Oh my goodness, you have bruises all over!” He exclaimed, shocked. “How did I not notice?”She smiled as she also took a good look at herself

    After ensuring Veronica could be trusted, Steve finally took his seat and sighed, “You’ve really been through a lot in a short period of time.” “Uhm…I'm sorry for calling you a liar the other time. I just didn't couldn't understand. I hope I didn't hurt you and you'll find a place in your heart to forgive me? Please.” He said to her as he sincerely apologized. “It's fine, really. I mean, I guess I would also act the same way if I found a strange unknown person in the forest too.” She said, making light the already tense atmosphere and Steve chuckled. “Are you okay though?” He asked her with a concerned look on his face as he looked at her wounds once again. “A little sore, but I'm fine, I guess.” She answered. “And your shoulder? You said something about it before.” As he asked, he stretched his hand and touched her shoulder, making her scream loudly in pain and she immediately held on to her shoulder. “Oh my, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.” He quickly apologized

    Steve's eyes widened in shock at this revelation. Even his ears stood out at the sound of what she said, he couldn't believe his ears.“You've been what?” He asked after he finally found his voice, but still shocked at what he had just heard.“You mean you were banished from your pack?” He asked again as if he didn't hear her the first time.Veronica could only reply by just nodding her head in sadness as she wiped a tear off her right cheek.“But why? How? Why? What was the reason? What was your offence? What did you do?” He kept asking her, giving almost no room for an answer and so she remained quiet.He began to pace as he thought about everything she could have possibly been through.“Wait, I'm trying to understand. So where were you going to? I mean, after leaving your pack, where were you headed?” He stopped pacing and suddenly asked her.“Nowhere exactly.” She replied, wiping her tears and blowing out her blocked nose.“Nowhere? So you were just walking around the forest witho

    The air was heavy with tension as Elder Raymond stormed in, his face twisted in grief and rage. His eyes, red-rimmed from lack of sleep, scanned the room until they landed on Veronica, who now stood frozen, her hands clasped together in front of her. At the sound of Elder Raymond’s angry voice, she had sprung to her feet.The moment he saw her, Elder Raymond charged at her, his heavy boots echoing off the marble floor. “You!” He bellowed, his voice, sounding like thunder. “You killed my son!”Veronica shook her head vigorously as he charged at her.Beta Richard quickly stepped forward, shielding Veronica from Elder Raymond’s attack. The guards also moved swiftly to restrain Elder Raymond, but he struggled against them, his face purpling with rage.Seeing what was going on, Megan and the rest of their friends scurried off to a corner.Alpha Marcus sprung up from his throne, his voice authoritative as he spoke. “Elder Raymond! What is going on? What is the meaning of all this?!” Elde

    As soon as the warrior guards got back to the pack, Veronica was dragged before the Alpha in the court.“We found her, Alpha.” Captain Jake announced, pushing Veronica forward. She missed her steps and fell to the ground in front of Alpha Marcus, and Beta Richard.“Has she confessed yet?” Alpha Marcus asked, and Jake shook his head.“No, Alpha. She has not confessed. She claims she is innocent.”“Is that so?” He inquired, and Jake nodded affirmatively.Alpha Marcus’ eyes fell on Veronica, who was still on the floor, her face buried in her hands as she cried silently.“So, you have refused to confess after everything?” He asked her, his eyes blazing with fury.“I… I’m innocent.” She managed to say, her voice, cracked from screaming and crying all the way to the pack from her hiding place.Right then, Steve, Megan, Sam, Linda, Madeline and the others walked in.“Thank goodness. They've found her.” Sam said out loud as soon as he saw Veronica on the floor. “I hope she tells the world wha

    All hands on deck. The search began, and the warrior guards searched the entire pack, but Veronica was nowhere to be found.Seeing as she was not found anywhere in the pack, they proceeded to search outside the pack, and headed for the forest, combing every single place the soles of their feet stepped.They were so determined to find her because they believed that she was responsible for Trey’s death just like Sam told the Alpha.“Leave no stone unturned. Search the perimeters. Search every single place. Every nook and cranny.” Captain Jake yelled as they intensified their search in the forest.They searched and searched for hours, until it was very late at night, yet they didn't find anyone, or anything that could serve as a pointer to where Veronica was.“Cap, don't you think we should go back? It's already dark. We can come back by morning tomorrow.” One of the warriors suggested, but Jake glared at him.“Do you think this is a child's play? Are we just searching because we feel li

    They finally arrived at the Alpha's palace, and Beta Richard led the way, while they followed behind him.As they made their way in, silence filled the air, the only sound heard was their footsteps on the floor.“I can't believe I'm back here again. I still haven't gotten over what happened while I was here last time.” Megan whispered to Steve, who didn't say a word to her.“Anytime I think about it, the only thing I can remember is the punishment we were given months ago.” She whispered again, but he still didn't say anything in response.She continued to complain, regardless. “Ughhh! I can't believe we actually did community service for three whole months. It was such a harrowing experience for-”“Can you just keep quiet, Megan. Now is not the time for random talks and this is definitely not the place!” He interrupted her, as he whispered through gritted teeth. “What is wrong with you? Dang!” He hissed.She rolled her eyes, and remained quiet till they finally got into the Alpha's

    In just a short moment, the ambulance arrived at Veronica’s house, and Trey's body was immediately observed keenly, and he was soon confirmed dead.Seeing that it was Trey, the head paramedic, whose name was Dan, stared in shock. He then sighed. “Take him into the ambulance. We might have to find out the cause of his death.” He immediately instructed the other paramedics to carry Trey's body out of the house.“I’m quite baffled here. How did this happen? What really happened?” Dan asked Steve and the other guests, including Megan, who looked disturbed.“We have no idea. We just came into the room and met him like this.” Steve replied, honestly.“Is… is he really dead?” Linda asked, her voice shaking.Dan sighed sadly. “Unfortunately, Yes.”“Oh no!” They all exclaimed, with defeated expressions.They had actually hoped that they were wrong about it all along, but with the confirmation of the paramedics, they soon knew that their worst fear had actually happened.“Are you guys sure tha

    Seeing Trey’s lifeless body in the pool of his own blood, Megan retched, and swiftly rushed into the bathroom and began to throw up.“What could have happened? Who could have done this?” Steve thought to himself as he observed Trey’s motionless body.Truly, he didn't like Trey because of what happened between them in the past, but never in a million years did he imagine that Trey would be in such a state at that point in time.Megan came back into the room, and they remained transfixed in one spot for a while, before someone finally spoke up.“Who did this?” One of the guests, Madeline, asked, sounding completely terrified.“Is he still breathing?” Another person, Linda asked, her voice shaking.“Does he look like he is?” Someone else, Sam, replied, coldly.Linda’s eyes widened. “What!?”“You can't be so sure. Maybe he is just unconscious.” She said again, trying hard not to believe what Sam said.“I think Sam might be right. He doesn't look like he is breathing.” Luke said, in suppor

    After walking and reminiscing on past events for a while, Steve and Megan finally headed back to Veronica's house, but when they got outside the house, they noticed that the guests were a lot less than before they left the house earlier.“Seems almost everyone has gone.” Steve stated, and Megan nodded in agreement.“Yes, it seems so. I'm sure they had so much fun.” She replied, looking around.“Yeah, that's true.” Steve nodded in support.“Hi Uncle Steve.” Scott suddenly shouted, jumping out from nowhere, startling them.“Oh my, you scared me.” Megan exclaimed, and Steve smiled.“Did I?” Scott asked as he excitedly jumped into Steve's arms.“Yes, you did.” Megan replied, frowning.“Did you go somewhere?” He asked, “I have been looking everywhere for you guys.”“Oh, yes. We took a walk.” Steve answered with a smile.“Really?” Scott asked, staring at Steve and Megan.“Yes. We had some things to talk about.” Steve explained, still smiling.“Oh, so where's Vee?” Scott asked, seeing as Ver

    Seeing that it was indeed Trey, Veronica fearfully took a few steps backwards, away from him.Noticing her reaction, he knew that she possibly knew him, and so he got up from the bed.“Oh, you know me already?” He asked her, his tone, menacing.“What makes you think so?” Veronica asked him. Her heart, beating fast, not sure of what she should have said. “I don't know you.” She blurted out.“Oh really?” He asked mockingly, taking a step towards her.“Yes.” She lied, slowly retreating.He laughed hysterically. “Why does your expression say otherwise?” He queried her. “You don't look like you're seeing me for the first time.” He stated the obvious, making her more uncomfortable.“That's not true.” Veronica insisted, and he laughed again.“You’re saying something, but your actions say otherwise.” He said, “What do you mean?” She asked him and instead of responding, he took a couple of steps forward, making her take steps backwards instinctively.“There you go.” He said, proving his point,

    TWO WEEKS LATERAs the cock crowed, Veronica's eyes slowly opened, but she immediately shut her eyes because of the little ray of sunlight, shining through the slight opening in the curtains, right into her eyes.She adjusted her sleeping position, and remained still on her bed for a short moment. She opened her eyes again, and gently rubbed her heavy eyes. She checked the time and it was a few minutes before 7am.Her eyes drifted away from the clock to the ceiling and she kept staring at the ceiling as the thought of going back to sleep filled her mind.She yawned loudly, and stretched her body.“Today, I don't feel like doing anything. I just want to sleep in.” She said to herself, as she pulled her duvet over her head, and went back to sleep.Just a few minutes later, her phone chimed, but she was too tired to pick it up to check who she got a message from.She had stayed up late the previous night because she had a lot on her mind.
