*slash*

Somewhere far in the personal dungeon of an alpha, a crazy-looking man was striking and whipping a tied-up human.

"You should be sorry. But you are not. You killed the wolf who gave birth to you. You let her die instead of helping. You killed My Mate. The Luna. The mother of my heir... You. Should. Be. Sorry."

Years have passed since I lost my mother. I was 4 years old when I lost my mother. Ever since then, I am locked, caged, bitten up, and I still do not remember when was the last time I ate a full meal. For some reason, I can only drink water.

"*pant* Happy Birthday, bitch."

I can not feel another presence in the room. I think he left. I can not hear anything. I can feel, smell, and see but not hear, talk or eat.

I miss you, mom. I hope I could hug you for the last time. I hope if you could only be here to tell me it all will end soon. You were the only one who could protect me. I wish for your comfort which your hug could. I wish.

My last thought was of my mother, laughing with me. My father hid me when my mother was seeking me. I, like every day, surrender to the darkness.

"Wake up."

"Wake up little one."

This voice is so soft. It is soothing. Who is she? No one knows me except Noah. And he is the doctor who heal me when required so I do not die.

"Wake up my child. I am here to help you. Wake up."

I slowly opened my eyes. For a moment, I could not believe where I was. I was still locked because I could see the bars, but the place is filled with light. It feels as if I got cold water after being burnt for a long time.

Wow... She is so pretty. Her eyes look so kind, I do not remember when was the last time I saw kindness near me. The only one who showered me with kindness was my mom.

Wait!! Near me? Why is she here? How did she get here? No one was supposed to come here. Most important how is she inside my head?

"Shh... Calm down, my child. I promise I am not here to hurt you."

THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE??!! A place where no one is supposed to come.

'She is saying the truth.'

'L-L-Leah?'

'Yes. It has been long, but I promise she means no harm. We can trust her.'

'O-okay. If you say so.'

"I understand your problem. But, you have to be quick now. The whole pack is sleeping. No one will know you have run away. Run in the west direction. Do not stop even if you get tired... I apologize. I wish I could have come earlier to your aid. But I will always be there to help you... Now, run my child. Run."

And I did. I transformed into my wolf form and run. It hurt but not so much. I was tired, exhausted but I did not stop. I could not. I will choose death but not the life back in that pack.

I was taking deep breaths. I could not even open my mouth to take a breath. And suddenly I fell down. I tumbled on the floor. I lied there panting. I could feel myself taking my last breath.

'Leah'

'Don't you dare have any negative thoughts! We will live. We will survive.'

'Leah, I am sorry. I- I am so sorry. If only my body would have been better. I wish, in next birth, you get a better human.'

'Don't!!! Flora!!! Don't!!!'

'I am sorry.'

I could once again feel the darkness coming to capture me. I know, he will come and once again capture me. Suddenly, out of the blue, I felt a faint smell. It was wet soil after the first rain. I wanted to get up. I wanted to chase the smell. It felt like home. For the first time in years, I fought the darkness. I tried to get up. But my body was too weak.

'Come on, please, just a little longer. Yes! Yes! NO!!'

I can not get up. I wish I could fulfill my desire to follow the smell, but I can not. I tried Leah. I am sorry but it is time for my death.
