Ever since that horrible and unfortunate incident happened, I could not step out of the house. I locked myself indoors and also blocked Levi’s number. Well, he is quite stubborn. He even used another number to call me and I did not even know. I picked it and when I heard his voice, I disconnected it immediately.
Even in my own house, I became an object of mockery. You won’t even believe that my mother would tell me not to come downstairs whenever her friends was around.
Like what kind of parents do that?
Well, mine does.
Then this burning sensation acted up quite too often. Most of the times, I felt like I was horny and need a man. Gosh, I am not even at the age of being in heat yet or maybe I am.
But at least, I don’t have a wolf. So why the the sensation?
Presently, I am sitting watching one of my favourite TV shows since that is all I could do. Sleep, watch movies and eat and sleep.
Well, I would say I love this kind of life tho. No worries.
I munched on the popcorn and sipped down some juice.
Then suddenly, I heard the door open. I furrowed my eyebrows.
Who came home?
I exited my room as I looked around. I sniffed in the air and saw that it was my dad.
Wow, surprising. He came quite earlier than usual today.
I went back into my room and plugged in air pods. I did not know when my door was pushed open as I had my back turned to the door.
I felt an hand on my shoulders. I flinched and quickly remove my air pods.
“Dad…” He had his right hand on my mouth and the other pinning me down. He was so strong that even squirming was hard. He climbed on my bed and had me between his laps.
“You have always brought shame to me and my name. Just a thrust from me won’t harm. I mean, since you could take the Alpha’s son, mine won’t be any different.” He said with a smirk on his lips. But I can feel that this was not what he wanted to do. I grumbled inaudible words against his palms. He smiled and started pulling off my clothes but he was doing it slowly as if he was waiting for someone.
I squirmed against him and then I felt him lay on the bed and me on top of him then the next thing was that I was flung away from him. I hit my back against the wall and writhed out in pain.
“Lincoln!” I heard my mother gasp.
No!
My eyes went wide as I stared at the door. My mother stood there, shaking in anger as she looked at me.
“Oh, Sophie. Thank goodness you came back quite early. I only came to her room to find how she was doing and suddenly she had me pinned on her bed. She started trailing my body with her fingers. I… I could not move. I felt like I was under some spell… Or something. Sophie, I promise I would never cheat on you…” My dad said with pleading eyes as he climbed off the bed.
What?!
Why?
He was the one that… I was right.
He made my mother slowly lose her trust in me and this was the last draw.
I don’t need to explain anything. Seeing is believing anyways. I struggled to get up on my feet then suddenly the burning sensation came up again.
Oh! Please not now… I begged.
I shuddered as the hairs on my hands stood. My mother marched towards me and landed two hot slaps on my cheeks making me fall on the floor. I glanced at my dad and saw him smirk.
He really did well this time.
I scrambled up.
“I regret adopting you, you slut… Leave my house this minute…” Before she could complete it. I ran out of the room and the house.
I just kept running in my baggy clothes without slippers or shoes. I was sweating profusely but I did not stop.
I did not know where I was going. I had no destination. It was evening already.
I just kept running. I got into the bush… No, it seemed like a packground and my race slowly decreased… I stopped and breathed real hard. Inhaling a huge amount of air and exhaling.
My eyes started closing slowly, slowly, and I passed out.

“Who is she?” I heard a distant voice ask. I groaned as I rolled over my back. I tried opening my eyes but I grunted as the ray of the sunlight went straight into my eyes. I used my hands to shed my eyes away from the sunlight. Then slowly squinted it open.
“Who are you?” I heard a distinct voice ask.
Wow, even our Alpha does not have such voice.
I fluttered my eyes open and saw three men standing and staring at me with interest. I cringed under their gaze and moved back a little. I winced as I dragged my feet.
How did I get here?
I ransacked my head for any information but my head is numb.
“I repeat who are you?” He asked again. I swallowed nothing.
“Give her some water.” He said to one of the men that was there. A cup of water was brought in and I collected it with shaky hands. I drank it within seconds and closed my eyes for few seconds. Then the event of the day came playing in my head.
I breathed out.
How many miles did I run?
Actually, our pack is not really that large.
“My name is Rose Adams.” I croaked out and coughed to clear throat.
“So Rose, what are you doing here?” He asked, coming forward. I looked at him in the eye and when I could not withstand, I looked away.
“Seems you have forgotten that looking an Alpha in the eye is quite challenging.” With this said, I looked at him instantly. I gulped dryly. Now I see why I cringed with his presence.
“I am sorry, Alpha.” I apologized with looking down at my swollen feet.
“Seems like you want me to repeat my question, what are you doing here?” He asked again.
“Hmm… I don’t know… My parents sent me out of the house and I did not know how I got here…” I stuttered out. He furrowed his eyebrows and gazed at me, examining me for any lie.
“Why should we believe you?” I heard another male ask. I turned to look at him.
“It’s true.” Was all I could utter.
“She does not look like a rogue to me tho.” Another male shrugged.
“She will be kept under examination. I can’t take any risk.” The first man spoke up.
“Erm, I promise. I am not a rogue. I.. I am from Dark Wood pack.” I said again hoping they don’t leave down here. This cellar.
He turned towards me.
“And we might as well send you back.” He said again.
“No!” I stopped him.
I can’t be sent back to that pack.
“You are…” I trailed off.
“Alpha Damien of Silver Moon Pack.” He said.
I managed to lean against the wall.
“I am a nobody there so it will be a waste of time sending me back as no one want me.” I said with a deep breath.
“Still we will confirm.” He said with finality and stepped out.
“Anyways, I am Beta Hudson.” The man said with a smile. I furrowed my eyebrows at him and nodded my head. He waved his hands and exited the cellar. He is quite cool.
I slowly remembered what happened…
My adoption… My parents… Levi… My pack… Hadley.
Wait, Hadley?!
