Carina's pov…
My head was hurting and I couldn't move I was stiff,I opened my eyes and I couldn't believe what I was seeing,I was in a room it wasn't so empty,It had several beds and stools but that smell,I remember it from when dad was been treated when he came back from war… Dad ..I missh him if only he was willing to act like a father to me not like the ruler of the pack,I would have still been there but something else was odd why was I in my body,I shifted to my wolf when I fell I remember clearly..
Wait am I back home, No it can't be this isn't my room or maybe my parents sent me to the house of a healer, But when I tried my mind link it wasn't working,My father thought me that when you are five rivers away from the Pack that is about five packs away Mind link breaks that means am not anywhere near my pack and it wasn't Cain and his men that attacked me,Oh it was Tyler's men but if it was Tyler's men my mind link will still be working very perfectly,I sighed all these thoughts in my head. I tried to stand up but the pain won't let me then I tried again but I still couldn't…
" You can't do that now…. I heard a mild voice I turned to where the noise was coming from and it was an old woman..
" Where am I ????? I stuttered.
" Rest first…
" No I can't…
" Then the pain worsens…. I heard another voice and I turned to where I heard the voice,He was standing beside the old woman, My heart started racing I felt Cari being antsy what was this feeling.
" How did I get her,Why didn't I die ?????
" Not on my watch… The old lady said
" What did you do ??? Are you trying to heal me??
" Am not trying,In due time you will be healed…
" No.. No...No... No… I choose death I want it, It's my desire why did you take my wish from me,I burst in tears.
Lincoln's Pov..
What is she saying, These past months nobody has rested in this house because of her, Even though I was the cause of her accident, Grandma and I did all we could to help her live and get she chose to die.
" Oh wow… am out grandma…. I walked out.
" Lincoln……
" Honey you can't say that,If you were destined to die I would have never been able to heal you but that's not the case, The moon goodess wants you alive,She said. I broke down in tears and she came to me,She lay me on her shoulders and I took shelter in her and cried my heart out.
" How long have I been unconscious ???? I asked.
" About two weeks….
" That's such a long time…
" Yeah know that you are awake, Where are you from???? She asked.
I knew if I told her after the five rivers she wouldn't know the pack because over ten packs were before the five moon rivers..
" Somewhere beyond the five rivers….
" Hmmmmmm can you be specific..
" No I don't want to talk about it….
" At least tell me how we can send a message to them….
" I don't want you to,They don't need me… Am just a souvenir they don't even care about my existence….. so I don't want to go back there…
" So you are a runt…
A runt I know that was a ranking of wolf that was the smallest who hadn't shifted yet and was abused and maltreated by her pack that was just the perfect excuse for me.
" Yes…..
" She's not a runt……
It was him again what was he doing here…
" This is my grandson his name is Lincoln,He was the hunter that hit you….
What…. Noway my plan was ruined he saw me shift and wait how am I not in my wolf.
" Something's wrong????
" I saw her wolf she can't be a runt…
" That's true…
" How did I shift ????? I was in my wolf when I fell down the cliff….
" Am a healer I have my ways and don't worry I was alone when you shifted nobody saw your body,I dressed you up…
" Ohhhh….
" Back to you being a runt, Lincoln snapped his fingers..
" Oh…
" That's a lie right….
" It's true you saw my wolf,I hid it from my pack for a reason and when I was fed up I wanted to leave, I wanted to go far away where they wouldn't find me….. before I was injured…,I whimped..
I tried my best to fabricate tears but it wouldn't come.
" You will never be found here don't worry, The old lady said.
" What is your name??? I asked.
" Alice… She smiled.
" Thank you for saving me Alice…
" No that's grandma to you,She smiled.
" WHAT!!!!! Grandma why should she call you that???? Lincoln retaliated.
" She clearly has nowhere to go Linc….
" So what…
God this Lincoln guy is rude, does he even feel remorse for putting me in this pain .
" Ouchhh……. I cried out trying to make him pity me but he just scoffed.
" So sorry dear…. The herbs will make you feel better, Alice said.
Alice was pretty old she was just like my late grandma.
" Grandma…. Let's talk outside..
" Rest okay,She smiled and I nodded.
She left with him….
My mind was troubling,I think that Lincoln guy doesn't want me here even if he caused my predicament,What if I had died I have nowhere to go and this place was far far from my worries even my mind link isn't working.
" Cari why did you behave that way when you saw Lincoln,Are you scared of him??? I was talking to my wolf.
Lincoln's Pov..
I know I was the reason she was in a bad state and that's why I let grandma heal her but she can't stay here with us,We don't even know her she was even about lying to grandma.
" Grandma she can't stay….
" She can't leave either,She haven't healed yet look how you made her,She broke a lot of bones even her thought she was dead… Lincoln she has nowhere to go…
" Grandma it was an accident and she's okay now….
" She isn't okay now,She can't stand just yet..
" She will be on her feet soon and she will leave,We can't have a stranger and what if she's a spy from him…
" He will never let a woman run his errands and she doesn't smell like it...She is just a lone wolf looking for a path, Lincoln…
" He will do everything to capture us... Lincoln said.
" LINCOLN!!!!! I have made up my mind,She stays she can be a companion to me when you travel round for hunting, Please…. Alice pleaded with her grandson.
" She's s here because you want her to and I want you to know I don't like her, Lincoln walked out.
" Aishhhhh this boy….
Carina's pov….
I couldn't hear them but I heard footsteps so I sat up..
It was Lincoln…
" Am watching you…. Lincoln made eye contact with me and I shrinked.
" He's scary…. But he's handsome but I whispered that part.
" Don't let him scare you,Inner that cold face lies a sweet boy, Alice smiled.
" Hmmmmmm I see he doesn't like me…
" You will get used to him…
" Does that mean I can't stay,I said
" Of course you can,Rest now you must be tired once Micah cones with the herbs you will be sound and well,She smiled
" Thank you for letting me stay,I can be your help …….
I didn't care about my status as a princess it meant nothing to me and I was good with chores and cooking too,I always helped Temple out.
Temple….I miss her but now I was disgusted by what she did,She was the one that gave Tyler my key and she was making out with Cain,I felt pity for Maxwell he was deeply in love with Temple and I felt like she was in love with him too but I know Temple's flaws,She wanted to be in my shoes have money, Affluence and power, Then my mind went to my mother… she didn't give much love she chained all her love to Cain,Then the thought of how I was been chased by Cain and his men and that last message I received from my mind link, Father i don't hate him for being a good king but caring for your people and letting your daughter die is depressing even if they believed I wouldn't die in Tyler's arms but when I start a life with Tyler it won't be long until I put a knife on my throat. Tears roll down my eyes but then I thought to myself.
" New life remember,I said and wiped my eyes.
