Exile(8)

"Mommy, please wake up. Mommy, Mommy..."

"Odette, Odette, are you okay?"

Startled by someone calling my name, I abruptly opened my eyes and saw Mateo's concerned face before me. As soon as he realized I was awake, he dashed out joyfully, exclaiming, "Alpha! She has woken up!"

I wiped away my tears and sat up, finding myself in an unfamiliar room, lying on a soft and cozy bed. The quilt enveloped me gently, and a hint of lemon fragrance lingered in the air.

Soon after, a tall man entered the room. I looked up and recognized him as Wyatt.

"You're awake? How are you feeling?" he inquired.

Confused about my surroundings, I asked, "Where am I?"

"This is my place, the Blue Crescent Pack."

"Why am I here?" I recalled Wyatt instructing me to wait for him on the hill. I had passed out along the way, and now I found myself in the Blue Crescent Pack.
