Banishment

I thought my father believed me, but he didn't.

“I shall deliver the judgment now!” he said as he stood at the podium.

“Dad, please. I didn't do any of those. I didn't know I was a rouge! I didn't seduce Beta Erick! You have to believe me!” I kept begging him to believe me, but it was like he didn't hear any of my words.

With those two wrongdoings, I could only think of death as the punishment. I couldn't die today! I haven't done anything I want to do! I haven't experienced what I want to experience! I haven't found love!

“Aleena, your punishment is..” Alpha Andre started saying. Please, Goddess, I don't want to die.. Please help me! I kept praying to the Moon Goddess.

“Banishment!” he announced and I gasped. I looked at the man that until just now I still called ‘Father’.

“No, Alpha. You can't banish me! Please don't banish me!” I again pleaded, now with tears on my face. Banishment was worse than death, especially for a she-wolf. Rogue she-wolves were usually raped, and then eventually killed by the male werewolves. Death seemed like a better option now..

This couldn't be happening. Why is this all happening to me? Today was supposed to be a joyful day of celebration. Why did it go wrong like this?

“Aleena, now you are no longer a member of the Black Heart Pack!” he banished me with that one last sentence, and I gasped as I felt all the ties with the pack’s members being snapped away.

It was like hundreds of threads being cut off.

Snapped, snapped, snapped.. And SNAPPED, I felt the last tie - the one with Alpha Andre’s being severed, and I felt all my strength being drained away from my body that I could do nothing but sat back on my heels still with my hands still tied behind my back.

It’s official now.. I’m no longer the Black Heart Pack’s member.. I am now a wolfless and weak rogue she-wolf.

I had no strength in my body and could do nothing as the two warriors yanked me up and dragged me away from the judgment room out from the pack’s ground toward the pack’s border. Once I set foot across the border, there would be no turning back.

Once in front of the border, one of them cut the ropes tying my hands, and the other shoved me forward, causing me to tumble across the border. They didn't even let me leave with dignity.

“Go now! You don't belong here anymore,” one of them said coldly, and the two of them turned to leave.

“Wait! Please, you can’t leave me here! At least drop me off outside the forest!” I begged them, but they didn't stop walking away from me; they didn't even turn to look at me.

I turned toward the forest behind me, and my body shivered involuntarily while looking at the vast forest.

This forest was what separated the pack’s ground and the human’s nearest civilization. If pack members’ wolves needed to run, they would use the forest on the other side.

The nearest human civilization.. That’s it! Suddenly I had a lightbulb moment. If I could get into the human’s town, I could get a job and live as a human! My fear of what was coming next was replaced by determination.

I entered the forest and felt chills down my spine. It was so eerily quiet and dark even though it wasn’t even afternoon yet. The trees were old and huge, covering the sky and sun from showing through the forest. But I would NOT give up! With the thought of living as a human, I began walking through the forest..

***

I staggered through the forest. It’d been two days since the day I was banished and started walking, yet I was still stuck here. I had no idea where I was going; everything looked the same—only trees and nothing else. There are no paths to follow, no river to get water.

My dress was torn, my lips chapped from not having a single drop of drink for two days, and I was sure I had a dragon in my stomach now from the way my stomach growled.

I slumped down at the nearest tree to rest. Leaning back, I closed my eyes, wishing for someone to come and save me.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a noise. I stopped breathing and tried to listen harder. Did my mind play a trick on me? But the noise kept coming closer, and I was sure it was the voices of two people talking.

I stood up with hope and began walking toward the source of the voice. I’m going to be saved!

But when I reached the source of the voice, I felt dejected. Those two voices belonged to the warriors from the Black Heart Pack, the ones who left me here all alone.

“You really are STILL here,” one of them chuckled as they noticed me.

What does he mean by that? Should I be somewhere? Oh yeah.. The human’s nearest town.

“And whose fault is THAT?” I mocked bitterly. They were the ones who left me here.

“Know your place, rouge,” one of them growled at me.

“It’s kind enough that Alpha Andre sent us here to stir you into the direction, don't use that tone on us,” the other growled along.

Alpha Andre is helping me? Did he actually believe me? He’s still my father, after all. I felt hope rise in my heart again.

“Don't get your hopes up. You are still a traitor in his eyes, and you are still banished,” one of them said, and my heart fell at his words.

“Then why is he helping me?” I asked, still denying that Alpha Andre did not care about me anymore.

“That’s a matter of the pack,” the other spoke.

“But before that..” the burly one said with a sly smile on his face as he looked me up and down.

Before that?

“If you think you can satisfy the Beta, I’m sure you can satisfy us too,” he said with that same sly smile still pasted on his face, and he was looking at my exposed leg.

The right side of my dress was torn as it was caught in a bush of twigs, exposing my right leg.

I instinctively stepped back and tried to cover my leg with what was left of the bottom part of my dress.

“Come on, don't be shy. You seduced Beta Erick; let us taste you too,” the smaller one joined in on that lewd thought of his friend.

No, no.. I shook my head and took another step back. I wouldn't let them touch me!

I turned around and began running away from them as fast as I could. But how could human-like speed be compared to the speed of werewolves?

Not even ten steps away, I felt myself fall face-first to the ground, and I was pinned down from my back.

I struggled with all my might, but after walking for two days without food or water, my struggle must feel like nothing to them.

“We have a feisty little one here,” the smaller one, the one who managed to pin me down, laughed lewdly at his own words.

“It’s better if they put up a little fight rather than just lay there quietly,” the burly one joined it.

Disgusting! They enjoyed raping she-wolves!

He flipped my body around, so I was lying on my back now, and the burly one pinned my hands above my head on the ground.

“This is what a rogue for - to satisfy our needs,” the smaller one said as he tore my dress into two.

I kept struggling despite knowing my strength could not be compared to these two disgusting werewolves.

“Look at those tits. I’m going to have a fun time with them later after you,” the burly one told his friend.

“No! No! No!” I screamed as I kept kicking and somehow managed to kick the smaller one who was on top of me on his balls.

He doubled over in pain with his hand covering his crotch for a few seconds, then raised his hand.

“Noooo!!!” I closed my eyes in fear and screamed with all my might before I felt his fist connecting my cheek. The force was so strong that my mouth was instantly filled with the coppery taste of blood.

“Fucking slut!” he growled and raised his fist again.

I tried to move my mouth to scream again, but I couldn't, and I felt him punch my cheek again. This second hit felt even worse than the first. I felt like he had smashed my whole face and disfigured me. I tried to struggle again, but I began seeing stars, and then blackness descended upon me.
