He was immediately stopped in his tracks by Kol. 

"Katerina, I won't tolerate your insolence. Watch your tongue." 

"But she came to join the fight. She came here in her wolf form." Renee who was slightly injured, spoke out to defend me. 

"She's your friend, why wouldn't you defend her? But choose your next words carefully, otherwise, you will be dealt with.

A werewolf fights in the face of danger, not attempt to fight in the face of danger. You can clearly see the difference, can't you, Katerina? You shouldn't have appeared with your ugly wolf. We would have been able to defend our pack without your help. Now, those idiots will think we are weak and can be easily defeated." 

"But she saved our children. If not for her, the rogues could have killed our children. We are grateful to you for your help, Katerina." Some elders spoke out. 

"She didn't save anyone. In the face of real danger, the rogues could have killed everyone including her. What strength has she got to save herself, let alone save others?" Alpha Kol retorted.

"Alpha! Some of our members are dying. We need to rush them to the pack's hospital immediately." A pack warrior screamed.

"Very well then. Everyone should head over to get themselves treated. The severely injured ones should be attended to first."

Alpha Kol turned back to me just as everyone was moving towards the pack hospital.

"You are just useless. You are the only one without any injury because you are so lazy, even to defend your pack in times of danger. Even I, your Alpha, is injured. Of what use are you in this pack, Katerina?"  Then in a chilling voice, he states, "even if you had really helped us win today, I still won't accept someone like you as my Luna." And with that, he left my presence. But as he was walking away from me, out of anger and deep resentment, I informed him of my acceptance of his rejection.

"I, Katerina Bathas, accepts your rejection." 

He stopped in his track, slowly turning around to meet my gaze. Renee was still around, approaching me with the intention to console me as she always did. But before anyone could say a word, I ran away towards my house, my mind already made up that I had to leave this pack without wasting another second. I wasn't sure if I could wait till morning.

On getting home. I saw my duffel bag that I had already arranged my things in the previous day. I zipped it up, slummed it over my shoulder and sighed. 

 I had to visit Renee's room. When I reached her white, flowery door, I stopped. New tears flood my eyes. She was not around, probably in the pack's hospital treating herself. She wouldn't have expected that I would leave this pack all of a sudden, in the middle of the night with no where to go. 

I had left a very brief explanation as to why I'm leaving for her on her bed. I wrote the note out myself, and told her how she would never see me again, how I was sorry, and then left the room with new tears. When I closed the pack house front doors behind me for the last time, I once again felt a painful pull and I held in a whimper. I was now officially a rogue wolf. And I knew the Alpha, along with the whole pack would feel I was leaving. Not that they would care, I thought to myself as I approached the woods, desperate to get the hell away from here. 

Placing the duffel bag near a tree, I shifted, feeling my human clothes rip and tear to shrivels of cloth as a brown/beige furred wolf took over. My bones felt free. It was nice to be in contact with Ana my wolf. Her voice rang in my ears as I picked up the bag with my teeth and ran through the trees and off the territory, away from Ever Falls.

Kol's (P.O.V)

I felt it when she left. We all felt it, the physical pain had the whole pack crashing to the grounds wherever they were. It was awful. We knew she left for good, she was no longer a part of this pack and I had no way of connecting with her but I wasn't bothered anyway. Rather, I gave the order that no one is allowed to look for her. She had decided to leave on her own accord, then let her be. She doesn't belong here with all her negative attributes.

I was currently thinking about how to manage the various damage and losses the pack suffered in the war. Families of fallen warriors, those with severe injuries and those that lost their homes in the unexpected battle were to be compensated immensely and have any damage to their homes fixed as soon as possible. 

"Alpha, news reaching us is that those rogues were sent by a rival pack. It is not yet clear if it was the same pack that attacked us some years ago, during the war that a lot of our pack members died, including Katerina's parents." 

Simon, my beta came running with updates about the ongoing investigation on the rogues that attacked us.

"Interesting. We will definitely get to find out who sent them sooner or later. In the meantime, we need to..."

"Alpha! Please bring her back. Don't let her go. She has no where to go and she was dying of starvation before she left." 

Renee, Katerina's only friend in this pack, came running towards us, interrupting our conversation which should warrant a punishment if her reasons were not important.

"Interrupting your Alpha with such irrelevant information should get you punished, but I will spare you. She left on her own accord. I didn't banish her. Do not bring up this matter before me ever again! Have I made myself clear?" 

She saw the spark of my wolf's eyes which meant I was being serious with my warnings.

With tears in her eyes, she stretched out her shaking hand to me that held a piece of paper. I reluctantly took it from her and read the contents.

Dear Ren,

Please, believe me when I say I am so sorry. I didn't want it to end like this, it's just too much for me to stay.

My brother hates me and so does my pack. I have no-one to protect me, I can barely protect myself, Ren. Our beloved alpha is my mate and so none of the above will change. What do I have left? I'm at my breaking point, Ren.

I want to promise that I'll be okay but I'd be lying if I did. No part of me is strong at the moment and the only thing I'm hoping for right now is the chance to be with my mom and dad again... sometime soon.

The only promise I'll be making you all is this: No one in the Fallen Moon pack will see me again. And if they ever will, it will be as a different person that they won't ever recognize.

If you could please tell Ace I'm sorry... that he was a great brother growing up, that I love him and wish him good luck in life.

I'll miss you Ren, thank you for never listening and for being my only friend. Just please, this time listen. Don't come looking for me, I don't want to be found. I'm sorry.

Goodbye.

Katerina..

    (Katerina's Pov)It has been 3 days since I left my pack, still wandering about in the woods, tired, hungry as hell and absolutely weak. I was in my wolf form, walking slowly this time to conserve energy. Ana is tired and extremely hungry, but she's still stronger than my human form. I had spent the previous nights sleeping anywhere I could find shelter. I didn't care if I get preyed on by bigger wild animals as I was mostly in my wolf form, at least Ana could bear the pains of hunger throughout the night than my human form. I wouldn't have been able to sleep because I had not eaten anything for the past 5 days. The tiny amount of food my pack gave to me only once in an entire day always felt like I had eaten nothing. I was always hungry, always weak. In fact, three days before I left the pack, I could say I had not eaten anything.I had managed to feed on wild plants while in my wolf form but there was no water to drink, no juicy fruits to eat in my human form. I could barely swallow

    "I surrender, I mean no harm. Please don't hurt me." Ana, my wolf, growled in wolf's language. The black and brown wolf in front of me showed no sign of understanding or mercy. It kept approaching me with its gritted teeth, like a wild beast that had been starved for weeks and is ready to devour any kind of food that comes it way.Suddenly, to my greatest surprise, it began to shift back to human. He was an elderly man, should be in his late 50s. I didn't recognize him, maybe due to the darkness of the night. When he's fully shifted, he asked me to shift as well but I told him I was too weak and hungry to do so. I didn't have the strength required. "You are stronger than you think, Katerina." Now, that was strange. Did he know me from anywhere? Is he from my pack? "How did you know my name sir?" "We don't have time, I will explain later. For now, let me take you to my place. Please don't panic. All you have to do is to trust me. My reaction when I saw you just now was feigned. I al

    "We don't mean trouble. Whoever or whatever you are, you can show yourself." The elder spoke for whatever was hiding in the bushes to show itself. At first there was no response, neither was there a movement. We kept observing all around us, to make sure it doesn't catch us unaware. Something tells me it won't be friendly. Suddenly, we heard a growl from the same area the thing had moved about in the bushes beside us. I was still in my wolf form but the elder was in his human form, preparing to shift in order to protect me, as I was weak from severe hunger and hadn't eaten anything for dinner yet. We were about to eat when this wolf interrupted our movement into the place of shelter we had found. "You will regret stepping foot onto this path tonight." We heard the wolf say from within the bushes, still yet to reveal itself. "Who are you? An Alpha of a nearby pack?" The elder asked as he was observing his surroundings, still preparing to shift if need be. I was totally weak from se

    He was a huge black wolf with a little brown mixed at his sides. He wasn't familiar at all. He gritted it's teeth at us and his members started getting closer to us, having formed a circle around us. They all looked scary and were ready to attack us at any moment but we didn't wanted to fight. It was pointless, we meant no harm but these crazy rogues or whatever they were won't listen to us. At this point I gathered all what was left of my strength and came forward to meet the leader's gaze fully. The elder wolf tried to make me stay behind him all along, as a form of his protection but I was fed up. I needed to join him face whatever was bound to come, even though it was just the two of us against these twelve or so crazy wolves. We would fight together and die together. Maybe my life has finally come to an end. Just as soon as their leader saw my wolf's face clearly, it halted it's movement towards us. The expression on it's wolf's face turned from that of anger towards fighting an

    My wish came to pass. Morning came in no time and we were up, ready to begin our long journey back to the fallen moon pack, my abandoned pack. Thankfully, the night was peaceful although we both slept with one eye open. We finished eating and began our long journey back to the pack. It was going to take at least an extra day or two to get back to the pack.*******(Unknown POV) So she's still alive. Her pack didn't burn her for killing her parents? That's ridiculous.

    "Hey! Who's there?" A pack guard started walking towards our direction, about to alert his colleagues. He took out his whistle and was just about to blow to draw the attention of others, when the elder, who was yet to tell me his name, quickly hid me behind him. He then made a familiar identity sound of the pack. A sound that is used to identify with each pack member, to let them know they are from the same pack and not strangers, just in case they meet in an unfamiliar environment and are not able to recognize each other due to any obstacle. Seeing that it was an elderly man, the pack guard halted in his actions, as the elder was waving at him, to discourage him from blowing the whistle. An enemy would try to run away or panic after getting caught, so the guard felt maybe there was no need to sound the alarm, at least for the meantime as the elder didn't seem to pose any threat."What are you doing outside by this time of the night sir? And you are not in your wolf form. As a human,

    "The records. Where are they? I can't find them. This was where I kept them long ago." I heard Mr. Daniel panicking from his inner room. What was going on? Did any of those rogues stole them from his room during the last attack? What could they possibly know about the records, mere papers with maybe some few pictures?"Annie, did you take some couple of old papers from my old shelf?" I heard him asking his wife."Not at all. You had something in there? It has not been opened in years and you last told me there was nothing in there and the lock got bad, so it can't be opened and hence, it's useless. I hadn't bothered to use it all these years." I heard his wife's reply. This was strange. Did it vanish?Mr. Daniel came back to meet me, disappointment and panic written all over his face as he began sweating. He had some old papers in his hands that I would have thought were the records of the great war if not for his current facial expressions. "These are empty, empty papers. The recor

    Time stood still. Both of us were shocked. They were already here? Rogues at the door in their human form? What did they mean by 'cooperate nicely' in any case? So many questions were going through my mind as I followed Mr. Daniel down to the front door."You should find somewhere to hide, let me see what they want. You never know, they might not be alone. You can pretend to be my daughter and you can only assist if there's any trouble from them."Mr. Daniel said as we were approaching the front door where the rogues were waiting. I nodded and went to the room where his wife and grandchild were awake, having been disturbed from their sleep by the hard knock on the door. Almost panicking, I told both of them to keep quiet."Hello sir, do you have something that is not supposed to be with you?"I heard one of the rogues asking Mr. Daniel."I don't know what you are talking about. Everything in this house belongs to me and my wife. Who are you guys by the way? I don't know any of you." "

    I rushed to my bedroom, opened the door looking around, itching to see him. It took not even a second. "Elijah!" I shouted and ran to meet him, catching him off guard. He puts me against the wall and I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling his face down to mine. He didn't even have time to gasp before I crashed my lips to his with sudden urgency and need.He held onto me, responding slowly, which I'm guessing it's because he was confused. I pulled away and hopped off of him. He was breathing heavily, running his hand through his 'just had sex' hair. I smiled. "Sorry... It's just."I told him about what Rebekah had done, and she was right. He wanted to kill her. I told him it was okay, leaving out the part about my gift until now. "I want to show you something." I told him, excitedly. He nodded.I extended my hand, palm facing the ceiling, placed between the both of us. I swirled my fingers around in circles, cupping and curling my fingers, urging what I wanted to happen, and prayin

    "You're a bitch but I love you." I said and she laughed. "Why thank you. Shall we practice some more?" She smirked and I laughed, shaking my head. "I'm beat and seriously starving. Let's head back." I grinned at her and she nodded before taking my hand and we began walking back to the pack house, talking about idea for a new pack house that was desperately needed.We reached the pack house and I rushed to the kitchen, grabbing an apple and literally devouring it before grabbing another. I was starving, I didn't eat breakfast and all my energy have been sucked out of me due to last night's activities and this morning's as well.I grinned into my second apple. I couldn't believe I was able to create something so beautiful, that I can control something so beautiful: Winter. That's how it felt anyway. Rebekah just smirked at me. I was about to say something but her eyes turned sad and I watched her body slum."What's wrong?" I mouthed to her."Joel and Tamara are coming." She said, her vo

    I tried to eat, hoping this time he'll keep his hand away but knowing he won't. I listened to the idle chit chat around the table, Rebekah and Mrs. Moore were discussing possible re-decorating ideas for the kitchen. Cliff and Joel were discussing the scores of some sports game, no idea if it's hockey or basketball or what not. I began to chew slowly, trying to ignore the need I'm feeling. He gripped my thigh suddenly, causing me to gasp again. Elijah's father catches my eyes and I smiled quickly."Are you feeling alright?" He asked with a frown.Elijah grinded his palm... there. It felt good against my jean shorts. I squirmed in my seat, shoving his hand away but not really wanting to. I felt my face heat up. How could he be doing this while his father is right here beside me though! He pushed deeper, taking no precautions and I spread my legs, making it easier. I started breathing heavily and hid it by taking a drink of water. Realizing this, he took my hand and placed it over his e

    "I'll show you." Ace piped up, a slight sad smile on his face. I nodded."Untamed, let's go. Ace, lead the way." Elijah's voice is stronger than Kol's, it's obvious. I felt calm again. Ace led us throughout the upstairs hallways. "We don't have enough rooms at the moment for singles, so people will have to double up."Do you want a few seconds to think about the arrangements?" Ace asked, his voice muffled and nervous. "Yes, that would be helpful. Thank you." Elijah appreciated him, shaking his hand. "It's no problem. We rearranged it so that the left hallway is yours, and our pack is to the right.We doubled up too. Take all the time you need." He told him. I grabbed Ace's hand and squeezed it, his eyes meeting mine for a second.He turned to head back downstairs. "Alright, listen up. Mates and families get the doors at the end of the hallway, people who are doubling up with friends or others take the ones in the middle.

    Joel pulled her closer to him and kissed her. "It's okay baby. We'll all handle this together." He said and Tamara nodded at him before meeting my eyes again."I am strong, just like you all tell me. And I feel like I am capable of more than we all realize." I told her, smiling, again looking into the eyes of my new family.Rebekah winked at me and I smirked. I had no idea at the moment just how strong though, I thought grumpily to myself. The thought of my mission to avenge the death of my parents crossed my mind, but I shook it off. Now wasn't the time to think about that. Let's settle down first.On a side note, is this place even going to be big enough for us?" Cliff asked. "I was thinking about that too. Two packs in one pack house.. not so smart and not so roomy. We should start looking for something bigger, there's gotta be at least 100 from our pack alone, right?" I asked, looking up at Elijah. "Yeah, something like that." He replied."Well then we should start looking tomorro

    "Clear the room." His voice is strong, demanding. Everyone starts to leave the room, quietly obeying. He closed the door behind him. Renee is beside him. My wolf cowers herself away in the back of my mind, scared by his voice. I looked up, meeting the bone-chilling stare from my former Alpha."Where did you go?" Kol snapped.I flinched, eyes to the floor on instinct and into Elijah's arms again. Figured all my strength disappeared. Cliff and Joel came to stand beside us, Elijah lifted my chin up, "there is no need to hide." My lips parted. And I turned steadily to meet Kol's gaze."Where the fuck did you go Katerina?" He snapped, light flashing through his eyes to show his anger. I heard Cliff growl in response but Kol's eyes doesn't leave mine. They travelled down my entire body and back up into my eyes."I ran. Like I should have done years ago." I stated, glaring back at him with a new sense of courage."I know you ran, we felt it when you left!"He growled, his voice alone showing

    I stood tall and as strong as I could. Of course, loud whispers and gasps erupt in the room. "Hi everyone." I said in a small voice. I looked around, meeting everyone's eyes with a smile. Mr. Daniel was present in the room as well, secretly waving at me. When I saw him sitting far away, I smiled briefly before turning away to continue looking around the room for someone else.When I caught sight of my brother, his face lit up in confusion and happiness. He looked sick. His skin pale, his body too slim. He looked like he needed a shave too. Oh, Ace. What happened to you? His face showing pain and regret.He stood forcefully, rushing towards me and pulling me into his arms. "Is it really you?" He asked, his voice cracking."Yes. It's really me, Ace." I said, my eyes flowing with tears."You look so.... different..." He sobbed, pulling away to look at me properly. I nodded."I know. But it's me. It's really me." I gripped him tighter.Elijah pulled me away from him, growling and envelope

    "It's nice to meet you Renee." He shook her hand. "I'm Alpha Elijah. These are my Betas. Cliff and Joel. This here is Joel's girlfriend Tamara, our friend Rebekah, and..."He scratched the back of his neck. Way to play it cool. I rolled my eyes. "This is my girlfriend, Katerina." He said, and I took the opportunity to pop my head out of his arm a bit and half-smiled at her.She was about speaking, her jaw opened slightly, not understanding. And then she ripped me away from Elijah and pulled me into a hug, crying. My eyes rimmed with tears too. Oh, Ren."I missed you so much. I.. we..all thought you were dead. Why did you write me that letter?" She sobbed and smacked my arm hard. I looked at her and her sad eyes. "Are you okay?" She asked me. I nodded, smiling slightly and she pulled me into her arms again. "I'm fine Renee, really. I'm happy." I told her and Elijah pulled me back into his arms, kissing my hair.She smiled at me. "Good.
