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

    “My…my brother?” Veronica wasn't sure if she had spoken the right words.“Yes, your brother.” Luna Isabella reaffirmed, nodding her head. “After years of searching relentlessly for you, the moon goddess blessed us with him nine years ago.” Luna Isabella explained to the already shocked Veronica.Veronica’s hands shot up to cover her mouth, and her eyes brimmed with tears which soon began to quickly pour down her face, overwhelming her as a wave of emotion crashed down on her heart.She had just found out that she had a ‘whole’ brother, and she was in complete shock and extreme happiness at the same time.She sobbed uncontrollably, her body shaking with the force of her emotions as tears streamed down her face, dripping from her chin as she struggled to process the overwhelming joy and shock that she felt at that instant.“Come on, don't cry.” Luna Isabella immediately got up, trying to console her, but it seemed like she was inconsolable.She had always wanted a brother, but when she

    “Uh… who am I meeting?” Veronica asked, with an unsure look on her face.Her eyes darted from her mother to her father, hoping that one of them would at least give her a clue about who she was going to meet.“Someone special.” Her mum replied, beaming with a warm smile. “REALLY special.” She stressed, her eyes sparkling with emphasis.“Come on, let's go.” She urged, and winked at her husband.He winked back at her, and Veronica caught them, her eyes narrowing in reluctance as a faint crease formed between her eyebrows.“I just caught you both winking at each other. I'm not sure if I want to meet this person.” She said, furrowing her brows.“Do you trust me?” Luna Isabella and Veronica nodded slowly, her expression still reluctant.“Then come with me.” Luna Isabella said, her tone persuasive.Veronica took a deep breath and finally obliged. Luna Isabella led the way, while Veronica followed closely behind her, wondering where they could be heading to.As they walked through the majesti

    “You mean you were in that pack all along?” Her father asked, still taken aback.“Not exactly. I was only there for a little over a year.” Veronica replied quickly.“Oh, wow. I actually had some friends there some time ago. It's been a long time ago though. I met them when I went on a trip concerning pack matters. It's just that we no longer communicate that much, because their pack is quite far away from here and everyone is busy with one pack duty or the other.” He explained to Veronica.“Really?” Veronica asked, surprised.“Yes. In fact, one of them was popularly called Richie back then, I think.” He said, narrowing his eyes as he tried to remember.He turned to his wife, and asked her, “Am I right?”She nodded affirmatively. “Yes, his name was Richie.” She confirmed, nodding affirmatively.“He came with a woman. He said they were representing the Alpha of their pack, who was unavoidably absent.” He added, and Veronica had a puzzled look on her face.“Hold on a second. Richie. What

    After the announcement was passed, Veronica and her parents began to discuss, catching up on a lot of things they had missed about each other.“I have a question though.” Luna Isabella suddenly said, and paused.“What is it?” Veronica inquired gently.“Why did you change your hair color?” She asked her. Veronica sighed, and answered, “Well, I just did it to look different. I wanted a change.”“You know, a lot happened in the last pack I lived in.” She said, trying to force a smile.“Care to let us in on it?” Alpha Charles asked, and Veronica sighed deeply.Seeing how hesitant she was, he quickly said, “It's okay if you still don't want to talk about it. We promise, we won't be pushy. We won't force you.” “Right?” He asked, turning to his wife.“Yes. Please, take all the time you need. We promise not to ask you about it if you don't want to talk about it.” Her mother affirmed, nodding her head.“No, it's fine.” Veronica said, respectfully interrupting her mother. “I want to talk about

    “You had been kidnapped by the sorceress, Caterina. That was the beginning of our nightmares. Our lives were literally turned upside down.” He continued.As he spoke, Veronica could feel the pain in his voice and she could only try to imagine the kind of pain they felt back then.“A search party was sent out, and the whole pack was combed in search of you, the lost princess, but no one saw you, neither did they see the sorceress. There was no place we didn't search, but the results were the same. They couldn't even find anything that could serve as a clue. It was as if she disappeared with you into oblivion.”“But who was she really? And why did she kidnap me? I'm sure I had none, but what was my offense? What did an innocent baby do to her? Why did she make me go through terrible things? Why did she make me feel worthless and useless? Why did she choose to turn my life upside down and inside out?” Veronica asked, fighting back her tears, and her parents sighed.Luna Isabella took Ver

    Still in Luna Isabella’s embrace, and seeing how happy they all were, Veronica just kept staring at them, as confused as ever.“Not to be a killjoy, but will anyone be kind enough to tell me what is going on here?” She asked, her brow furrowed in confusion. “Because I'm really confused. I don't understand what all this excitement and joy is all about.” She stated, a look of perplexity settled on her face.With tears of joy in her eyes, Luna Isabella pulled back to stare at Veronica for a short moment, and hugged her again, and seeing how emotional the atmosphere had gotten, Veronica just remained calm.“My daughter. My princess. My child.” She heard Luna Isabella’s voice, and she was shocked, because she spoke to her through the mindlink.Veronica quickly pulled away.“Did you just say something?” She asked, unsure of what she had just heard.“Yes, I did.” Luna Isabella replied with a broad smile, as she wiped her tears with a clean cloth, which her husband handed over to her.“I thin

    Hearing Veronica scream out of her unconscious state, they all rushed to her.“Are you okay? Can you see us? Can you talk? Are you in pain?” Numerous questions flew around in the air, leaving her with no space to answer any one in particular.Veronica, still in a daze, was fazed by the numerous unknown faces staring down at her on the bed.“Call the doctor! Tell him to come here right away!” Alpha Charles ordered the guards, who immediately raced out of the room at top speed.“Where am I?” Veronica thought to herself. “Who are these people, and why are they staring at me?”“Have I just been kidnapped? Am I dead? Am I in the afterlife?” Her heartbeat fastened, as she stared at them, having no idea of what they wanted to do to her, if they were going to hurt her or do something worse than that to her.“But on second thought, they don't look hostile. They look scared. Like they are afraid and worried.” She tried to judge by their facial expression.“Seems these are the leaders here. The

    SILVER MIST PACKAlpha Charles and his Luna Isabella, the Alpha and Luna of Silver Mist Pack, walked hastily with their numrous guards as they headed to the large room where the pack doctor and nurse were attending to Veronica.“Is she awake yet? Is she now okay, doctor? Is she going to be fine?” They both said from the door, almost in unison.Seeing them, the doctor and the nurse immediately bowed in respect to the Alpha and Luna of the pack.“It's been days, rolling into weeks, and she has been exactly like this, on this same spot. No changes at all.” Luna Isabella voiced her worries as she walked into the room.“She will be fine. She just needs more time.” The doctor replied, and the Alpha's jaw dropped.“What?!” Alpha Charles exclaimed, and his eyes widened. “More time? How much more time is needed? It's been almost two weeks now, doctor, and she hasn't even done so little as sneezed. If anything is wrong, just tell us. We can handle it.” He said, his eyes showing visible signs of

    Veronica sat motionless in one spot for hours after she was thrown out of the pack. She remained there, hoping that by chance, or by any means possible, someone would magically walk up to her and say that, “Alas! We got you. It was all a joke, you can come back into the pack now.”Or “it was a mistake and the Alpha wants you back in the pack.” Even though she knew how impossible and highly unlikely it sounded, her imaginations were running wild and she chose to wait still.After hours of waiting and seeing no change, she got up and began to walk away hopelessly. She couldn't even cry anymore because she had already cried so much that it now seemed like her tear ducts had dried up.Having no destination in mind, she just kept walking, absentmindedly, not flinching even as the thorns in the woods tore her clothes and pierced her skin.Her mind flashed back to the moment Megan accused her of killing Trey and also accused her trying to kill her too.
