~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

    After Veronica’s outburst, she remained quiet while Steve just remained quiet because he felt like whatever he said at that moment could trigger her anger more, so he decided to stay by her side and allow her to cry it all out.After noticing that she was a bit calm, he decided to speak to her, and so he cleared his throat before he began to talk.“I'm so sorry for how I reacted and for every word that I said. I'm genuinely sorry. It was because I didn't know better and I jumped into conclusion without fully understanding your situation. I sincerely apologize.” He apologized and waited for her response but instead of saying anything, she only nodded in acceptance and so he started speaking again.“You know,” he began, “I won't say that I understand exactly how you feel but I will still say what I said earlier: please don't think that you're cursed. Don't even say you are cursed. You're a beautiful young lady with a bright future ahead of you, If you'll only just see it and walk in it

    “Son, baby. Are you okay?” Beta Lily quickly asked him.She began to rub her hand gently on his body to gradually wake him from his slumber but his eyes were still totally shut as he kept struggling in his sleep and muttering Veronica's name.His parents, Beta Lily, most especially, soon began to panic because the more she tried to wake him up, the more he just kept struggling and soon began to cry.“Richard, call the doctor immediately!” She yelled and he immediately stormed out to call the doctor.Shortly after, he rushed in with a nurse and the doctor, who quickly instructed Scott's parents to step away from Scott as he started to examine the boy.He checked his vitals and with a straight face, looked up to Scott's parents.“What is it, Doctor? Why do you look so serious? Is something terribly wrong with our son?” Beta Lily asked the doctor.“Of course not. He is perfectly fine.” He replied.“What do you mean by that? He is obviously not looking fine to me. Can't you see how he is

    That very night, Steve sneaked Veronica into the pack without being caught, but there was a problem on their way to the pack- Veronica got too tired and because she had been in so much pain for a long time, she became unconscious just miles before they arrived at Fire Dawn Pack.Afraid and confused, he was torn between two options: whether to keep going with her or to abandon her somewhere.Abandoning her was dangerous but taking her like that to the pack was equally dangerous. He had to stop for a moment to think his decision through. He laid her on the bare ground and began to do some fast but deep thinking.If he was caught with an unconscious stranger in his arms, he'd risk being thrown into jail but if he leaves her there, she might be attacked and killed.“Damn!” He lamented, kicking the dust.After a long moment of pacing and thinking hard about it, he placed his hand on the side of her neck and her wrist and felt what seemed like a pulse. “She's still alive.” He gasped and fi

    Scott's little eyes opened gradually to realize that he was still in the hospital. His eyes scanned the room and saw his mum beside him, sitting on a chair.“Mum, good morning.” He greeted her, yawning.“Son, you're awake? Hope you slept well?” His mum said with a smile, rubbing his little cheeks.“I think I did.” He answered. “I don't see dad around, where is he? Did he go somewhere?” He asked her as he sat up with her help.“Yes, he went to see the doctor.” She replied.“Oh, okay.” He said as he nodded.“How do you feel today? Do you feel okay? Do you feel any pain anywhere?” She asked him, concerned.“Mum, I'm fine.” He replied with a slight smile but she immediately noticed that something wasn't right.“Are you sure? You look like you have something on your mind.” She stated and he looked away from her.“You do, don't you?” She asked him again. She gently held his hand in hers as she spoke to him again, calmly, “You know you can tell us anything, right? If there's anything on you

    “What the hell do you think you're doing? Why would you barge into my room like that and why did you scream like that? Do you want to call the attention of people to this place?” Steve yelled at Megan, who didn't even care about what he was saying.He then turned to Veronica to see if the noise had woken her up but she was still lying motionless on the bed.“I should be the one asking you what you think you're doing, bringing a female into your house.” Megan snapped at him.“I don't think me bringing anybody into my house at any point in time is any of your business, Megan.” He replied harshly and she hissed.“Who is she? She doesn't look familiar and I don't think I have seen her anywhere in this pack before now. So, who is she?” Megan asked again, not caring what he had just said, raising her voice this time.“‘Shhhhhh! Can you stop yelling?” He moved close and tried to shush her, and looked over at Veronica once again.“Don't tell me what to do or not to do! I asked you a simple qu

    The doctor was taken aback. For a moment, he looked confused. He didn't not understand what was going on. He wasn't sure of what part of his words threw Megan into such anguish and devastation.Unable to take the pain anymore, Megan got up and raced out of the hospital, wailing. Veronica was about to run after her, when Megan's dad stopped her.“Please leave her alone for now.” Councillor Maxwell said, and Veronica stepped aside.Trying to figure it all out, the doctor's brows furrowed as his eyes scanned the expression of all of them, and at that moment, it clicked!“Oh my goodness!” He exclaimed. “That's not what I meant, please. He is NOT dead!” He announced, almost screaming.Hearing the doctor's words, their expressions changed and they exchanged confused glances.“Are you being serious, doctor?” Councillor Maxwell asked him, with mixed feelings.He wasn't sure if the doctor said what he just said to try to make them feel a bit , or because he actually meant what he said.“Yes, I

    “Veronica!!!” They all called out to her in unison, but she was too devastated to answer.“Wait up.” Scott yelled, but she still didn't answer him.Right when she was almost at the gate, Beta Richard hurried after her and grabbed her arm, holding her firmly, but even with that, she still refused to stay still and kept fighting to be let go.“What do you think you're doing? Where do you think you're going?” He asked her, still holding her firmly, stopping her from leaving on her own.“The hospital. Please let me go.” She replied, her voice breaking and her eyes welling up with tears.“You can't just go like that. You know what? Just calm down, and wait.” He said, his voice laced with concern.“No, I can't wait. I can't just stay calm, do nothing. I have to be there.” She tried to wriggle her hand free from his grasp, her face flushing with frustration and devastation.“You have to!” He snapped at her, his voice a little louder. “You barely know your way around here yet.

    “Dad, I don't know what is going on. He suddenly coughed out blood, and now it seems like he is not breathing.” She panicked, her voice shaking with fear. Tears, pouring out of her eyes.“Dad, I'm in trouble. I killed him.” She screamed in terror.The guards soon rushed into the room, and were taken aback. The sight before then wasn't something they had thought they would see.“Sir, we should take him to the Pack Hospital. He might have just slipped into unconsciousness.” One of the guards said in a rush.“Yes, yes. Let's take him to the hospital. Carry him gently, please.” He ordered them, and they got to work immediately.“Please get up, ma'am.” They said to Megan, who had Steve's head on her lap.Seeing that Megan didn't move, and was still holding on to Steve, her father yelled at her. “Get up Megan!” She jerked in fear, and got up.The guards then went ahead to carry Steve gently, and headed outside the house, while Megan and her dad followed closely behind them. They soon got to

    “Megan!!!” Her father screamed in shock as he ducked to avoid the shattering glass.“Megan! What the hell is this? What has gotten over you?” He yelled at her, and rushed to Steve who was holding onto his shoulder in pain, and staring at the furious Megan in disbelief.“How could he suddenly choose her over me? Why would he do such a thing to me after everything we have been through all these years. After all that we've shared. How can he choose a complete stranger over me?” She cried angrily.“Wait, what?!” Her father stared at her in utter shock. “So this whole anger and violence is because he chose someone else over you?” He couldn't believe what he had just heard his daughter say.“Oh my goodness! I thought I raised you better. I can't believe this.” He said with so much disappointment.He turned to Steve who was still writhing in pain.“Are you okay?” He asked, and immediately Steve lifted his hands off his shoulder, Megan's father’s eyes widened in shock at what he saw.Steve's

    A bit surprised, he asked, “Who is the person?”“It's Master Steve, sir.” The voice replied.“Oh.” He then turned to his daughter. “I guess he is here to see you.” She shook her head in disagreement, and pulled away from her dad.“Is he here to see Megan?” Megan's dad asked the messenger.“No, sir. He specifically asked to see you sir.” The messenger answered.“Really? That's unusual.” He muttered, and looked at Megan, who looked away immediately.“Alright, tell him to wait. I'll be with him shortly.” He said to the messenger at the door, who in turn, replied, and walked away.He then turned back to his daughter, hoping to continue their previous conversation, but her expression indicated to him that she wasn't ready to say anything at that moment.Understanding her expression, he asked, “you don't want to talk now, right?” And she nodded in agreement.He sighed. “That's fine. I'll be back shortly. Let me just find out what he is here for.”He got up and left the room, while Megan cu

    For hours after Megan left, Steve sat in a chair, still dumbfounded, and unable to compose himself. He couldn't wrap his head around what had just happened. He couldn't believe that the one true friend he had literally all his life was in love with him and he didn't know.“Damn! I'm such a fool. I really am.” He muttered to himself, beating himself up about it.Even though they fought and disagreed about a lot of things, a lot of times, he still really cared about Megan, and always looked out for her all the time, and she did the same too, or so he thought.He remembered all the time when they would get into trouble when they were younger, and how they would smartly figure out a way out of every mess they got themselves into.After his mother passed away and he was depressed and hurt, Megan was the one who didn't make him feel alone, because she was always there to comfort him. And that was one of the reasons why their friendship grew stronger over the years.But now, it seemed like t

    “Wait, what?” Steve stood shocked and lost for words.At that moment, he didn't even understand what was going on. “What are you talking about? What is this?” He asked, looking as confused as ever.“How could you choose Veronica over me? How could you?” She yelled at him again, throwing him into further confusion.“Choose her over you?” His head snapped back in confusion, “What does that even mean?” Megan's eyes flashed in anger as she snapped at him,“Don't even try to play dumb with me, Steve. Stop the pretense!”“Look, Megan, you're not making any sense. What is all this? What are you going on about?” Megan’s eyes soon blazed with tears. “You're really choosing her over me, aren't you?” Her voice cracked, as she asked again.Steve's expression softened, unaware of the depth of Megan’s emotions, and unable to understand why she kept repeating the same words. “Megan, what is all this? You've been repeating these same exact words for the past few minutes. What exactly is the matter?

    FIRE DAWN PACK THREE MONTHS LATER“Phew. I can't believe we're finally done with this community service. This has been the longest three months of my life.” Megan said, as they walked slowly to Steve's house.“I also hope my dad lets me off the hook too.” She said, thinking out loud. “I've really missed going out whenever I want, I hope he ‘ungrounds’ me.” She rolled her eyes, as she kept talking to the unattentive Steve.“Also, I’ve been so bored and miserable without my phone and my other gadgets. Ughhh” She grunted as she complained.“Anyway, thank you for making the past three months easy for me. I don't want to imagine what it would have felt like without you being there.” She continued talking, not paying attention to if Steve responded or not.“To be honest, I think I would have collapsed at some point.” She added. “You and I know that I'm not built for any menial or hard labour.” She said, examining her hands, and she then chuckled.“But Steve, do you think your dad has finall

    SUN CREST PACK “How dare you, Beck!” His father yelled, barging into Beck's house. “How dare you embarrass and humiliate me like that? Have you lost your mind? Or have you lost your sense of reasoning?” He kept yelling angrily, the guards immediately left his presence, leaving him alone with Beck.“What is it, father?” Beck asked his already furious father.“Don't you even dare, Beck. Don't give me that bullshit!” He snapped at Beck.“But I don't even know what you're talking about, father. I really don't understand what is going on.” Beck replied, trying to figure out what his father was angry about.“You think I don't know what you're doing? You must think I'm a fool, right?” He scoffed, “Do you think I don’t know that you're trying to act innocent, and feign ignorance. Don't piss me off Beck!”“Dad, I promise you, I don't know what you're talking about.” He replied, hoping to calm his father down.“You liar!” His father snapped at him.“I'm being honest, father.
