Chapter 6

When I woke up I was in my own bed, dressed in a set of PJs. Mom sat at the end of the bedreading. It was a love we both shared but I could tell from her b*dy language now that she was justskimming over the pages. Not really reading even though it seemed like she was trying to. As soonas the sheet rushled as a result of my movement she looked up with tears in her eyes. By now itwas completely dark outside so I had to have been out for at least an hour but it felt longer. “Baby, are you okay, why didn’t you tell us before?” Mom asked me while hugging me tightly I knew Hannah lashing out at me wasn’t their fault. I knew that if I had told them about what Hannahwas doing like I told Daniel they wouldn’t have let her get away with it. But I felt angry with them. Ormaybe it was just disappointment, especially Dad. He grew up as the Alpha’s son even if he was themiddle child. He knows how Grandpa used to rule the pack. Mom has been with Grandpa andGrandma and now Uncle Cedric enough to know. To know that Alpha Phill*p isn’t a kind leader. Thathe is selfish and stubborn, that is why he hardly lets me travel. I believe it’s also the reason we donot have another pack doctor. Most of the men in our pack were warriors because that was the rankyou would get the most respect in. “I am okay Mom. It’s all reading healing. I could not tell you and Dad because it would get you intotrouble with Alpha Phill*p. I know it is not your fault but I am so disappointed I have to endure thislonger I just want to be alone” She hugged me a little tighter whispering how sorry she was in my hair and then she left me.Minutes later Daniel knocked on my door. As unfair as it might be I could not face my parents, I stillfelt let down 288 Vouche by them but not by my siblings. So I tell Daniel to just come inside. Katen and Tim are hot on his tail.Tims seems a little awkward unsure if he is welcomed in my room like my siblings are. “Tell me if you want me to stay outside but everyone was so stressed out of you passing out that Imade dinner. Just a simple soup but I have a bowl for you here?” All it does is warm my heart at the fact that he is treating me like a sister already. Actively being apart of our family. Because we are very close-knit. That is why I know in a few hours or days I will

make up with my parents. “Just come on in Tim. you’re my brother now and thank you for the soup it smells amazing.” I tellhim and then all three of them sit down in my room. We’re pretty well off and our home is pretty sp aci ous but the four of us sitting in my bedroom doesmake it feel small and a little cramped, Kate is the first one to speak up. “Tim and I discussed it and we will stay living in the BloodMoon pack so we can help protect you.”She tells me arms crossed over her chest, showing me she made her final decision. “Or we could just run away together, go looking for my mate when I turn 18. By that time we will berogues but maybe my mate’s pack will take us both in. It happened to a Daniel before.” He smirkstrying to make light of the situation. He is named after a close friend of the family, who was a rogue who helped my grandparents fightoff an attack. He knew about it because he became a rogue after something terrible happened tohis sister. Only to replace out Lina my Grandmother’s Gemma was his mate. “Neither of you is going to change their lives that much for me. 23.18% 11.44 Ayta 6 288 (Vouchers Nob*dy is going to be a rogue. And Tim, Kate the Cresent Moon pack needs you two that is whyyou are going to live there. That is not going to change” Now it is my turn to cross my arms when Iam speaking to them. Sure I am unsure how to go on from here on out. All this time I figured it was just a matter of bidingmy time. Thinking my parents would eventually let me live with my Grandparents where I would besafe. Kate and Daniel don’t agree with me staying here alone with Mom and Dad. Because of meDaniel is not angry with our parents and I hate that. How does he expect them to stop somethingthey know nothing about? His answer when I tell him just that makes me think. “Ayla, they could see how unhappy you were shouldn’t that be enough for them to let you changepacks”

It did make me reconsider, not if, what Mom and Dad did was wrong. I was starting to think thatmaybe I underestimated how difficult it is to change packs if it is not for you mate. The conversationdies down when we all sense Dad at my door. He never knocks, he doesn’t say anything, and a fewseconds later we hear footsteps moving away from our door. Knowing my parents are worried aboutme and sad because of me is painful. Hopefully, they understand I just need some time alone toprocess all of this. Even my siblings are becoming too much for me. Being a werewolf means I healfaster. With the beating over the past year though my b*dy has been trying to heal for almost a yearnow. And it’s starting to take its toll on me. The injuries I have now are not healing as fast as theyshould. Another thing to worry me, I don’t know what to do about this situation anymore. Normallywe would go to the Alpha over something like that. He would listen to both parties and there wouldbe a trial. There is no way however that Alpha Phill*p is going to punish his Beta’s daughter the girl he seesas the future Alpha. I knew that from the start but in my mind I came up with an alternative. Analternative 45 25% 11.44 that turned out to be a childish pipedream. After telling my siblings I nood some rest I open up abook. Hoping that some reading would give me a bit of piece of mind making it possible for me tofall asleep quickly Unfortunately, it doesn’t just like Mom did hours before, my eves keep skimmingthe pages but it is not getting through. I can’t remember any of the words I have read the second Imove on to the next line and it is incredibly frustrating. Everything about my life now is incrediblyfrustrating and I hate it. Clutching the book to my chest I start to cry. Why did this happen to me? It’s like the Moon Goddesskeeps pilling on. First, it was my build, then there was the pack that was so hard and unforgiving forthings I could not control. Things a lot of other packs would not judge like the Blood Moon packdoes. All of that was bearable though because I had light at the end of the tunnel. There werepeople I could trust who would always be there for me. And I had hopes of dreams for mesting mymate. Or more so for replaceing out, it was David. In my dreams, we would lead this pack together and

make it a kinder pack, A more accepting one. I would not allow bullying and we would let she-wolves become whatever they wanted to be. At the time I believed it was something David wantedtoo. Sometimes I still wonder how my childhood best friend turned into this cruel cold man. For one glorious minute, that dream seemed to come true when I found out David was in fact, mymate. Until he rejected me in public humiliating me in front-of the whole pack. Wasting no time intrying to replace a replacement Luna. Making the bullying so much worse, but still, I had found a newlight at the end of the tunnel. I was holding on to, with the idea of things getting better for me soon.Finally, the fact it never was getting better settled in. I hated how weak I was but I couldn’t stopcrying. Every so b hurts my ribs more. And then there are two arms wrapping around me. The twoarms I least want to comfort me now but still I cannot help but sink into the embrace. Unable to keepon fighting because I have been doing that for too long now. 71.58%
