It has been an hour since I ran, and I have just been wandering around. I feel lifeless and empty. Why is my life so horrible? What did I do to deserve this? I didn't kill those people intentionally. My father died, and I was sad about it. I don't even expect that strange power; It just happened. I was just a kid, but those people maltreated me, abused me, starved me, made me do all their chores, called me names, and laughed at me, and now my best friend and my mate mated. She is not even my best friend. She is my ex-best friend, and he is my ex mate. I laugh humorlessly. No matter what they did to me, I still had hoped he would notice me, and I was ready to forgive if he apologized, but then he got her pregnant. All hope is lost. I have no one to call my own, not even a wolf. My life is so pathetic.
I felt salty water on my lips. Then I realized I was crying. I cried more, and I felt so useless and pathetic. I saw a pond. The water is so clear and shining. I entered the water. I felt at peace. Water always helps me to cool down. I love being in the water. The water was not deep, so I walked to the other end. Then I bent down inside the water, head deep. It soaked me up. I might as well die of cold, I thought to myself, coming out of the pond.
I continue on my journey that has no destination. We are in the afternoon of late January, so things are still a bit cold. Then I heard a growl. I stopped in my tracks. Wolves! I know there is more than one because of the loud vibrations. Oh, my goddess, they are targeting me! With that information, I started running with all my strength. But you can never outrun an angry wolf. A wolf came by my side and collided into me. I fell, rolling on the floor. I looked up. It was three wolves. They were radiating power. The bigger one is a black wolf. He must be an Alpha or Beta. Two of the wolves are the same size. The left one is blonde, and the right one is brown. They all look vicious, with their canines outstretched and sharp. I sat on the floor and started moving backward. They stalk towards me, snarling. As I close my eyes, I guess this is the end of the road for me. They all stood, snarling at me.
"Ple..please, I mean no harm. I was just passing by," I said, shaking. The black wolf moved closer to me and I kept shaking in fear. I have never seen a wolf this big and why was he sniffing me? His huge head went to my neck and I thought he was about to bite me, so out of fear of being dead. I passed out.
I thought that was it, no way those wolves would allow me live, but I was left shocked when a beeping sound woke me up. What is that sound? I opened my eyes and looked around. Why is everything so bright and white? Am I in heaven? No, I'm pretty sure this is not heaven because I feel pain all over my body. I sat up, holding my head while I rubbed it groaning. Then the door open, and I looked up.
"Oh, you are awake," a man wearing a white coat said.
"I am Doctor Agnes; what is yours?" he continued, moving closer. I panicked and started shaking.
"Pl..please...let m..me g...go" I said, shaking terribly. The doctor put his hands up. He is a stranger and in my pack, when someone moves closed, I know what is next.
"Calm down; I won't hurt you," he said gently, but I was far too panicking. Everyone always hurts me. I curled into a ball, rocking myself back and forth.
"St..stay a..wa..away!" I yelled. Then the heart monitor started making loud noises and making me more scared.
"Go away, go away!, go away!" I screamed with tears running down my face.
"Get me a tranquilizer!" I heard a man scream. I don't know what is going on around me. I heard some movements. I felt a sharp pain in my arm, and I started feeling weak then everything went blank.
******************************
Beep...beep...beep. That sound again. I opened my eyes and looked around. I am in the hospital. I sat up and rested my back on the wall. I had a drip connected to my hand. I know about drip because there was a time a pack member beat me, and I passed out. I was out of it for three days. I thought I was going to die. But I woke up at the pack hospital. Doctor James was so nice to me. He is the only one that cares about me. I enjoyed my stay in the hospital. I always wish a pack member would beat me like that again so I could be rushed to the hospital. I heard the door opening. A man came to him, and he looked intimidating. He is huge. I could feel myself panicking and my heart rate shooting up. I quickly curled up.
"Hey, calm down; I won't hurt you, I promise. Look here, I got you some food and lots of chocolate and candy," he said calmly. I looked at his hands; he was carrying two bags.
"My name is Silver; what is yours?" He politely asked as he was still standing by the door. I didn't reply to him; I just looked at him.
"Do you mind if I come closer and give you your food? I promise I won't hurt you," he said, smiling at me. I feel like I can trust him not to hurt me. So I nodded. He smiled and walked closer while looking down. Why is he looking down? I was a little confused. He came closer and drew a chair beside my bed. He sat on my bed, opened one of the bags, and dropped the other on the chair.
"Okay, I brought some soup and fruit. The doctor said light food but don't worry; I sneaked in some chocolate. It is going to be our little secret," he said, whispering the last part. I smiled a little. Then I realized I just smiled and quickly frowned. He laughed a little. He noticed! I mentally facepalm myself. He opened the cover of the food. I looked at the soup, and it looked delicious. I have never drank soup before. The only thing I am allowed to eat is leftover pancakes and bread.
He brought out a spoon. He took a scoop of the soup and blew the soup. He brought the spoon closer to my face. I didn't open my mouth. I am not a child and don't want to be fed. He dropped his hands.
"You don't want me to feed you?" He asked.
"Okay, take it, be careful it is hot," he said, pushing the bowl towards me and placing the spoon inside. He gestured with his hand for me to eat. I looked at him and the food wearily. He laughed. His laugh is so deep and manly.
"It is not poisoned, see," he took the spoon and drank out of the soup. I took a spoon and drank the soup. Wow! It tastes so good.
"You like?" He asked, looking at me eagerly. I didn't reply. I continued drinking and gulping everything down fastly till I finished the whole soup. I want more. I heard a laugh, and I looked up; he was watching me the whole time. I blushed, looking down.
"You definitely like it. Want more?" He asked. I shyly nodded my head, looking down.
"Thank goodness! I brought two bowls," he said, opening the cover. He gave me the soup. I drank it. This time slowly. I couldn't finish it. He took the remaining and covered it.
"I'm glad you like my soup. Do you want chocolate?" He asked. I nodded enthusiastically. The pack girls always eat it. I just look at them; I never tried it. Maybe when I was younger, I would have. He carried the other bag and opened it. He took out two chocolates.
"Okay, I will give you just two," he said. He opened it for me and gave it to me. I looked at the brown bar. I took it to my mouth and had a bite. It was yummy. It tastes so sweet. It is like milk in the middle. I ate everything. He gave me the other one. I prefer this one because it has nuts inside. After eating everything, I feel so full.
"Okay, I got you some clothes and clean underwear with soap and shampoo. You take your bath and wash your hair; you stink," he said. I laugh a little. I know I stink.
"Okay, let me remove your drip," he said. I tensed up, quickly dragged the drip from my hand, and got down from the bed. He looked shocked and hurt. I can't say, but he didn't say anything; I am not comfortable with someone touching me. He gave me the bag and showed me the bathroom.
"I will wait for you here," he said, and I nodded. I entered the small bathroom with a shower. I removed the hospital cloth. Then I took the shampoo, which smelled so nice. I have never used shampoo before. I usually use soap for my hair or just water. I washed my hair which was so dirty, and then I took the soap and the sponge and bath. As soon as I was done bathing, I wore the undies, the big hoodie, and some leggings. The hoodie is so big on me. I saw some female slippers. I wore it. It is a little too big. I went outside to the room. The doctor was there; he smiled at me.
"Look who is looking all clean," he said, smiling. I replied with a light smile, then sat on the bed. He came closer, and I tensed up.
"Relax, just a few checkups," he said gently. He checked me up and asked a few questions, while I answered by nodding and shaking my head. We are done, said the doctor. I stood up from the bed but tripped, stumbling down my head fast. I closed my eyes, expecting the pain that would come with my fall, but a big muscular arm grabbed me and pulled me up. Then I started feeling the very familiar spark that only a mate could give. I might not have a wolf, but I can tell this spark. I looked up, shocked. The big man is my mate! I fainted.
