LILA

I land on the ground with a thud, blood splattering from my mouth and I hear the crack of my bones from the impact of the fall before I feel the pain.

I don't dare look up to see the furious look on Beta Arden's face as he closes the gap between us.

What must I have possibly done to deserve all this torture?

Maybe the moon goddess is punishing me for trying to escape my fate, if I had let myself stay in that cell at least by now i would have died and I would be resting peacefully.

In a split second Beta Arden grabs my hair forcefully causing a scream to escape my mouth as blood gushes from it.

"Please Beta, I will do what you want now," I beg.

"Oh so now you want to do your job, do you think I will let you know off the hook so easily ? " he says, positioning me on my knees in front of his bulging cock.

"Suck me off bitch," he commands.

With shaky hands I force the bile that I feel resurfacing and start to do as I'm told when the door bursts open.

"Beta Arden I expected better from you, what do you think you're doing with that cunt from the Halemoon Pack, do you want to have our heads hanged ?" A freakishly tall man says as he storms into the room with a fearful looking Pen on his trail.

Fear blossoms in my spine, how could he know who I am?

Beta Arden releases his grip on me and tosses me aside as his eyes widen in shock.

"Pen, how dare you let Lila Stark into this bar, are you out of your mind?" he barks.

"Please I'm sorry Alpha Damian and Beta Dryden. I didn't know she was the one, I would never do anything on purpose to ruin our alliance with the Hale moon Pack." she pleads.

I don't know how to feel as I watch their interaction but scared and confused as I watch their interaction. I would have never come here if I knew they had alliances with my former pack. I thought was escaping death but it seems like I cannot run away from it.

" Beta take Pen out of here and make sure she gets the punishment she deserves, I will handle you later." The Alpha commands as he closes the gap between us.

He grips me my throat, cutting of my air supply as a curious glint crosses his eyes.

"As for you, you have ten minutes to get your ass out of here, leave no trace of your belongings and I will pretend like this never happened."

•••

I am back once again to where I started.

Immediately Alpha Dryden warned me, I limped out of the room and before I was able to make it to the servant quarters to carry the kitty belongings I had, Pen had already thrown them outside. 

She forced me to strip from what I was wearing and gave me the torn clothes I came in with, now I've  been I'm walking through the streets for over a day,scared for my life because it seems like Sebastian has warned people of me.

If he warned them of me then why hadn't Alpha Dryden returned me back to my pack? I wondered as I stopped next to a tree to shade me from the winter breeze.

I am so weak, hungry and bruised. All the wounds that I got since being at my pack hadn't healed and the ones from  made it more difficult for me to breathe, unfortunately I am wolfless so, it's going to take at least a week before I heal.

I sigh, sitting against the tree when the smell of waffles envelops me. Looking over, I spot a bakery and a plump woman arranging pasteries inside.

Maybe if I begged enough she would pity me and give me just a bite, I think as I force myself to my feet, ignoring the pain as I make my way over.

"Good day Ma'am, please can you give me just a bite from the waffles, I will clean and sweep, whatever you want me to do please, " I beg.

Her head whips up and the smile on her face disappears. " You insolent rat, get out of my face, arent you ready ashamed of yourself ?"

"Please, I will do anything you want," my desperation takes over, never in my life did I think I would be so desperate for just a bite of waffles but the groaning of my stomach and wobbbling of my legs leaves me no other choice.

"Get out of here before I call the Police on you!" she warns, grabbing a broom to chase me away like I'm so fly.

I limp away before she hits me and I make my way down the street, people scrunch their noses when they see me, some even push me out of their way and somehow I can understand.

I already irritated by my smell and I'm sure that I look worse than I smell.

I trip on a basket of tomatoes and I start to apologize before the owner even says a word.

"Scurry along you little wrench and cause havoc some other place, he barks after me.

I finaly reach the outskirts of the town and I fall to my knees to regain my breath when I hear a growl.

My breath hitches in my throat as I spot seven black wolves staring at me with hungry looks in their eyes.

"Stupid girl, what made you bold enough to come to this part of town, don't you know this is our territory ?" the biggest wolf rasps as he steps away from the others, slowly closing the gap between us.

A shiver of unease cascades down my spine, "Please i didn't know I wasn't supposed to be here, I will leave now."

An amused laugh escapes the wolf's lips, "too late for that girl, you're going to be our dinner for the night," it says before pouncing on me.

LILA

A loud scream escapes my lips when the wolf tears into my skin causing blood to rush out.

"Please let me go!" I beg but I soon understand there's no hope for me as it starts to laugh at me while biting my flesh and soon after, its friends join along.

"Foolish girl, you had the audacity to enter our territory," one snarls.

They rip me to shreds and the last thing I hear is the crack of my neck before my heart gives out and I finally embrace death.

•••

I shield my eyes from the bright light of the room and squint when I finally manage to open them.

How am I alive and where the hell am I ? Are the first thoughts that fill my mind when I look around the unfamiliar bedroom.

"Ow," I mutter and the door to the room bursts open and confusion snakes down my spine as I see my best friend Andrea and my cousin Nicolas rush towards me.

If I'm able to see them then it could mean only one thing...

The Moon Goddess gave me another chance to live !

"Oh my God Lila, Thank the Goddess you're finally awake!" Andrea says, squashing me with her arms.

"Girl, you gave us a scare, you don't know how long we've been looking for you," Nicolas murmurs, concern etched on his features.

I sigh, feeling  somewhat overwhelmed as I presto tell them everything.

"You guys may not believe me when I say this but I was attacked by wolves and i died. The moon goddess must have given me a second chance to live."

They both stared at me like I had two heads before Andrea burst into tears hugging me tighter.

"Oh Thank her goodness, that explains why we found you unconscious but clear of wounds in rogue lands."

I'm not sure how to feel yet  with the moon Goddess bringing me back  to life.

What was the point of I'm still going to end up in the same situation, suffering or being hunted down?

"I'm glad that you're alive Lila but you need food if you're going to stay alive and we can't stay here for long, it's not safe. Nicolas warned as he already started packing up things from the room like we're on the run.

•••

" You still haven't told me where we are, Nic," I say as I take a huge bite into a burger, my first decent meal in days.

Nic sighs and abandons his food. " I had to cast a spell and transport us into a small town because the other places aren't safe for you right now."

Compassion filled me as I was suddenly aware of the risk my cousin and best friend took for me.

They could be exiled from the pack but they still went through it all and I know that I owe them my life for this.

"So what's the plan now?" I ask.

" We are going to rest here for a few days then Nic will cast an identity spell on us to hide  your looks so we can find somewhere to start afresh." Andrea says.

I feel hopeful for the first time in a long time and I think that maybe the moon goddess has good plans for me.

•••

2 DAYS LATER 

We've been camped in this motel trying to carefully plan out our next move while I used the time to recover from everything I've been through.

It's crazy how no one talks about the appetite you gain after coming back to life.

Today is our last day here so by night time we will be on our way with my new identity and new live.

Maybe I will finally be able to go to university, I muse. It was my parents wish for me to have a good education but we weren't rich, they devoted their lives to the pack and didn't even earn up to 1,500 pounds a month.

"Hurry up girls, we need to get going soon!" Nicolas calls from the living room as Andrea steps into our room.

" What's the point of doing makeup when we are running away?" I ask regarding her fully baked face.

"I need a perfect base for the run girl. No makeup is equal to bad luck."

I can't help but laugh at her as I make my way to the bathroom.

 I immediately strip my clothes and jump into the bath tub laying my head for a bit on the headrest.

I run my hands through my hair to spread the soap then once I finish I rinse off and tie my robe.

I'm about to come out of the bathroom when all of a sudden I hear a glass fall on the floor and I immediately rush out of the bathroom, when I hear Andrea's scream.

"What's going on here?" I ask getting back into the room.

Panic courses through me when I don't see anyone.

"Andrea !"

"Nicolas!" I scream running through the motel apartment but I'm met with silence.

I search every part of the apartment for them and I see them for a brief second before my breath hitches in my throat.

LILA

I stare with my mouth open at the blue eyed wolf with white fur that currently has my cousin and best friend captive.

"Please let them go," I stammer.

The wolf literally rolls its eyes on me and looks at me like I'm asking the most ridiculous thing on earth.

It sighs and releases its grip on them, "i don't believe you don't recognize what your own wolf looks like Lila." a feminine voice says which comes from the wolf.

What the freak is this wolf talking about?

For all I know I've been alive for 26 years without a wolf.

"I beg your pardon?" Nic asks mirroring my confusion while Andrea manages to regain her breath.

"Listen here girl, when the moon goddess gave you a second chance I was activated to protect you so you don't make stupid decisions like you're about to."

I stand staring at my wolf dumbfounded, it means the moon goddess must have brought me back to life for a good reason if she activated my wolf.

"And what decision exactly are you talking about ? For all I know we've been protecting her just fine !" Andrea asks my wolf, doubt lacing in her eyes.

" You want her to hide away when that is not the moon goddess's plan for her. She must have her revenge on Sebastian, he has to suffer for what he has done."

I think on the words for a second, even if I wanted my revenge how would I do it when I'm sure if Sebastian saw me I'd be dead on the spot?

"How are we going to do it?" I voice my thoughts.

" Girl why aren't you determined ? I don't know about you but I'm not going to let Sebastian get away with what he did to our family. You're going to change your identity and get your revenge ! "

As soon as my wolf says this, I feel a heavy sensation as we become one and I know that she's right.

Revenge on Sebastian is the only way to Avenge my family.

•••

When I face the mirror, I feel like I'm looking like a completely different person, the only thing that makes me feel like myself is my blue eyes.

How am i going to get close enough to Sebastian to make him pay with everything he holds dear? 

Yes Nicolas is the best witch and has made me look like a different person but..,

"We have found the solution to our problem !" Nic says stepping in and handing me his phone.

"The famous Billionaire Alpha of the Hale moon pack has come with a proposition for all the young ladies under 28 years. 

In order for Alpha Sebastian to get access to all his inheritance he must be married and he is in need of a suitable bride so there will be a contest  in two and the most suitable bride will be selected.

Good luck ladies!"

This didn't sound like the Sebastian I knew but that's no longer my problem, I'm going to take part of this contest and win no matter what.

"What are we waiting for then? we have a contest to win," I smirk handing him back his phone.

•••

I didn't think it would be so difficult but the past couple do days have been torture.

If Andrea wasn't forcing me to eat food that rich people thought was nice, Nicolas was forcing me to learn how to walk in a pair of heels.

"You're not doing it right Lila, that's not how you walk  in heels, one step at a time, you don't gallop like a horse!, " he commanded.

My ankles were sprained from exerting pressure on them and I had developed bruises all around.

I wiped sweat from my forehead and pleaded, "please can I take a break?"

"Don't be ridiculous Lila, it's only been two hours. who knows how long your'e going to have to walk in heels for."

"I'm sure rich people take breaks Nic," I whined.

"Nonsense, get back to work."

We continued like that for what felt like hours until he finally felt I had worked enough but he didn't even give me a break.

Nic took us to stores for shopping but we didn't have any money so he placed spells on the store keepers so they let us take designer items from Dior and Chanel and use the dressing rooms until we were satisfied.

We finally stopped for a break and had dinner before Andrea lead us to the last activity of the day.

"Why are we in a forest Andrea you know I have trauma from here."

She waved her hands, "You have nothing to worry about girl, this is not rogue property." she assured me though i didn't feel any better.

I still felt unease creeping my skin and very jumpy from just the sounds of our feet.

"Relax girl," my wolf murmured and only then was k able to calm down.

"So we are going to be testing your strength. You're an Omega which makes you have the prettiest white fur but in order to compete against other wolves you have to be strong."

"So how can I build my strength then?"

She smiled wickedly, "You run!"

My wolf is relishing the moment as we sprint around the forest but it's a different case for me, I wanted to stop but she took control and didn't let me until Andrea said it was enough.

"Do you hate me Andy?" I asked panting as I came back from the last sprint.

"No, I love you more. I'm doing this so you can secure your place and avenge your family, so if that isn't still your plan, you can quit. "

I let out a growl  as I come back to my human formi didn't even know was possible to produce and she pats my head with a proud smile on her lips.

"That's the spirit,"she murmurs.

"Now for the last activity, " she says and before I'm able to blink, she grabs me forcefully and throws me over a clif.
