Episode 6

I really wanted to get away from here. I didn't want to live in this pack anymore. I was wrong before. I was completely wrong. I should have left this pack on that day. I shouldn't have stayed.

Suddenly I heard a knock at the door. It was locked from outside so I was wondering who it was. I saw the door to open and Zaden coming to my room. Finally after so many days I met someone who was like a family.

"Oh Ella! I heard everything. I'm so sorry, even though I promised your father that I would take care of you, I couldn't even help you through your tough times. But don't worry, do you remember what I told you before? That whenever you want to leave this town, I will help you? " he asked.

"Yes, I remember," I replied hastily.

"Do you want to leave now?" he asked again. "I can get you out of this pack tonight."

"Yes, please!! Help me," I almost cried and begged.

"Okay, stay alert. Tonight I'm getting you out of this pack," he said and quickly left.

I really wanted to leave this pack. Zen and Alex were not giving me any kind of emotions anymore. My wolf was disgusted. I just wanted to get out of their sights. Far from their loveless desires.

I was sitting on my bed looking at the woods through my window. I had already lost so many closed ones. The sapphires were everywhere out there. Uncle Zaden had just returned from our alliance pack. He surely knew the ways to safely get out of the woods.

But still my heart rate increased due to anxiety. 'What if we get caught? He may end up being a rogue for trying to save me,' I thought. 'Or what if we get caught by the sapphires in the woods? They will kill us probably. Or torture us to the level that I shivered thinking.

I couldn't continue imagining anymore." I killed so many of them not so long ago. If they find out about my dad and what I did," I couldn't even think properly about the consequences that I would have to face. "Will I be safe in the town? Living with the humans?"

I was dipped in my thoughts while suddenly my door opened again. It was locked from outside and two wolves were guarding me. Uncle Zaden used his rank to meet me. Was it him again? Did something bad happen? I was looking at the door curiously thinking all of these when I saw Zen coming through the door.

"What are you doing here?! You're not supposed to get the permission to come here," I quickly got up from my bed and angrily said.

Due to Alex's mark, I wasn't feeling the bond between us properly. But still I was getting his fragrance. It was definitely taking time to erase our bonds properly since we were actual mates. Also my wolf didn't accept Alex as it's mate. Probably didn't feel the love in him as well that she was craving for.

"Do you think some mere guards can stop me from coming here? " he smirked and said.

He came close to me, "That bastard! How dare he to touch something that is mine," he said touching my face while placing the hairs from my forehead to behind my ears. "I bet you felt disgusted," he said again.

"To be honest," I moved his hand away from my face. "I'm feeling disgusted right now as well. Can you please leave?"

He gritted his teeth in anger. I completely ignored him. He grabbed both of my shoulders and squeezed them.

"And also because of this mark, Alex can probably tell that right now someone else is trying to make a move on me. Do you want the Alpha to know about this? He will probably kick you out of the next Alpha's position as well," I threatened him wishing that he would leave. I really wanted to be alone.

He controlled himself again. Suddenly I saw the old Zen in him whom I first met. Since that attack in the woods, an excellent wolf who was master of self control seemed so lost. As if he was totally out of his character.

"My bad. I didn't realise what I was doing," he said calmly. It seemed like he was ashamed of what he just said here. He quickly left the room without any words.

I sat on my bed again. The possession of the wolves is a real bad thing. This is why my wolf was disgusted. This was not love at all. It was just mere possession that is in their nature.

'He still looks down at me. It's just that he can't accept the idea of seeing his mate becoming someone else's,' I thought.

And about Alex? I Didn't even know what he was thinking. Humans or wolves? angels or a devils? I laughed a bit by myself. Not even the earth itself can resist his beauty. It just hurt his ego badly. If I had said yes today, I wonder if he would even bother to take this step.

I was just waiting for the sun to set. Finally the moment came. After the sunset I heard light knocks at my door. One of the guards came to my room and told me that uncle Zaden was waiting for me at the end of the Valley. He was probably working under uncle Zaden.

I needed to go alone there by hiding myself. But it would be a trouble if Alex or Zen would feel my presence.

But the guard told me that they were currently in a pack meeting. So he suggested me to shift in my wolf form and leave through the roof. I was sure that if I could shift properly that time, jumping out of the roof wouldn't be a problem. Then I would be able to avoid meeting anyone in the pack house. But shifting was the real challenge.

I took deep breaths. I tried my best to shift. But failed a couple of times. But finally succeeded after a few tries.

I still remember how did I reach on that valley where uncle Zaden was waiting. How we crossed the border without anyone noticing.

Uncle Zaden took a safe route through the woods where the sapphires weren't having any bases.

But somehow Alex and Zen felt that my wolf was getting away. They went to my room and found out that I was gone. They took a few wolves with them to find me. The incident after that was a total mess.

Because of them coming out in the woods, the sapphires got the track of us as well and also Zen and Alex got attacked. It was a total massacre, I was running away from them. Then they fell in trouble because of me. They got attacked by more than 10 teams of the sapphires. Though they were strong enough to fight all of them but they were not in control at that time because of me getting away. Instead of saving themselves and fighting the sapphires, their main focus became to find me. They were blindly following my presence in the woods. The sapphires were chasing them. They had literally lost their minds.

I had to help them. Just because I was leaving didn't mean that I wouldn't care for their lives at all. They were strong enough themselves. But the sapphires were out numbering them because of their mental states.

Maybe it was because of this mate thing that my wolf got back the control of it's skills again and then there was an intensive fight between us and the sapphires. I returned to help them.

Obviously we won. Alex and Zen tried to get me back with them in the pack again. But uncle Zaden stopped them. Since we were almost at the end of the woods, uncle Zaden ordered me to leave alone. The Alpha himself came there to save Zen and Alex. He also stopped Zen and Alex from following me.

After all of these troubles, I safely managed to get away from there. In fact the Alpha let me ran away. He was totally against the idea of me being the luna. So letting me run away was probably a part of his plan as well, Who knows.

After running for hours I finally came out of the woods. I saw a farm house on the other side of the river that was flowing. I was sure that if I could get myself to that farm house, I would probably get help. That was the area from where the human territory begins. But I didn't know how to cross the river. But I decided to cross it anyway. And without thinking much I jumped on it and tried to swim.

But the wave was so strong that I was almost drowning. With my blurred vision before drowning completely, I felt like I saw a man on the other side of the river. He was painting something. I tried to shout for help. But water entered into my respiratory system and I lost my consciousness.



The next thing I remember was right after I woke up. I was inside the farm house. The man saw me drowning. He saved my life. I was really thankful to him for saving my life.

He was a very good looking young male. Probably between 25 to 27. He was an artist. He was very nice and friendly.

He gave me a coffee and then sat beside my bed after I woke up. He awkwardly smiled at me and waited for me to finish the coffee. I was feeling much better after drinking the coffee. It seemed like he had a lot of questions going on in his mind.

"How are you feeling right now?" he asked.

I tried to bow in my half sitting half lying state.

"I can't thank you enough for saving my life and for this kindness," I said awkwardly. I never talked with a human before aside my mom. She taught me about all the formalities and human cultures though.

"Ahh.. No need to thank me. Actually I wanted to ask you something," he said again.

I gulped. Did he find out something.

"Last night I tired to get rid of your wet clothes. Though I didn't take out everything and also tried my best to be modest. But I noticed something. The scars on your hands, they healed by themselves after a while. I mean, they faded away. This doesn't happen to normal human," he said very calmly and then looked into my eyes.

"Look, don't be afraid. Since I have grown up in this farm, I have often met people from the other side of the river. I know the people who live there in the woods are not humans," he said slowly. "Are you one of them? Did you ran away from your home?" he asked.

I guessed he knew a lot about the wolves. Besides I needed help to survive. And there was no way other than believing him. So I decided not to hide anything from him. I told him everything briefly. He was a good listener and a kind hearted person. He listened to everything with curiosity and amusement.

For the first few days I was afraid of him because I told him everything. He might have had a bad intention. Also I was not feeling safe there at all. Since he said that he had met with the people from the other side of the river, so wolves from my pack or other packs could be here anytime. They would

obviously feel my presence here.

The guy was not a bad guy after all. His name was Edward. After a few days he suggested that I should move on to the town.

After that there was a long journey that I went through.

A journey full of his careful nature, a journey full of how he helped me to get through all the troubles of hiding myself, a journey full of how he stayed up whole night while I was crawling in pain due to the marks on my neck, a journey full of how we started to grow feelings for each other,a very rational one.

How simple yet wonderful he was. How we managed all the troubles of running away from cities to cities. How he finally proposed. How I started to feel the marks on my neck was becoming lighter day by day. A journey full of how we became each other's habit, a journey full of love and how we got married and how he never complained about anything and always supported me.



After several years ~

It was a beautiful nice sunny day. Now we were living in a small countryside. We bought a small house there. Since Edward was an artist, we carefully chose the best place for landscapes. We were passing our regular happy days.

We woke up together in the morning. After having breakfast he came to the yard with his art supplies. On the opposite side of the yard there was a very beautiful small forest, it was not a forest actually. A bunch of big tress and different kind of flowers growing out there.

I did the laundry and came to the yard to let the clothes dry. The bite marks on my neck had lightened a lot. It was hardly even visible. But it was still there. It never faded away. Also I had two marks actually. Zen's that small pierce on my skin that night also left a mark. Not a visible one but it was also there. After so many years I couldn't feel anything about them anymore.

I almost forgot about that life. I thought I was finally out of that past.

But for the last few days I was not feeling well. A weird sensation was always there surrounding my mind the whole day.

That morning, suddenly after so many years I was feeling weird once again. I was having an unknown feeling. As if something was going to happen.

I looked back at Edward. He was so focused in his painting. He looked so handsome when he worked like this. Just by looking at him I felt so warm.

Dad was right. Edward was the one for me. I finally found him. I kept my hand over my stomach. I rubbed it with love. I felt so happy.

Suddenly a strong breeze hit me. My face became pale. My hands were trembling. This feeling. I was afraid to look back. This couldn't be happening. The reason my wolf never died, I finally got it. I slowly turned back.

A few feet afar I saw two figures standing there. A very beautiful man in white, and a very handsome one with black hairs, two familiar faces, Alex and Zen.

They finally found me. Their eyes were fixed on me. A smirk appeared in Alex's face. Zen's face was full of jealousy. Their eyes slowly followed where Edward was still doing his painting.

I quickly turned back. Edward was so focused on his painting that he didn't even realise their presence. A wolf's obsession never dies.

I screamed from the top of my lungs, "Edward, Run!"
