A second Chance

Chapter 1

Freedom. This is what I felt as soon as I could feel my ties with the Blood-Moon pack weakening and a surge of strength zapping through my body as I run as fast as my legs could carry me through the forest.

It had been a very difficult three years. Painful, regretful and just downright awful being part of a pack with a monster for an Alpha. Elijah. I remember the day like it was yesterday when he came barrelling into the pack house with his army of rogues. I could tell they were all rogues because of the bloodshot red colour that filled their eyes once in wolf form.

They killed our Alpha, Beta and Gamma along with their mates and children. I lost my mate and husband; Daniel, who was the beta of this pack and I could remember it like it was yesterday when Alpha Elijah ripped his heart straight out of his chest and I had no time to hold him in my arms when he ripped me away from him.

I wanted to die with him but he decided to keep me as his personal slave and three years went on when he became obsessed with me. beating me, raping me, and keeping me confined within the four walls of his house. It got worse after I gave birth to Peyton because then he was free to do however much damage he wanted to me.

I tried my best to make sure that he didn't hurt her or even Aiden. Aiden looked after and protected me and Peyton like his own family even though he was only fifteen years old. He often took most of the beatings off alpha Andrew and every time I tried to come in between to stop him he would push me away and continue to take the beatings.

three years I was living in fear but I knew that when peyton will grow up, Andrew would avert his anger towards her and so I decided to run the minute he took another woman back to his room. and since the past few weeks, I've been on the run with aiden and peyton strapped to my back. As much as I love peyton, she is an extra weight I can't carry around for long cause of my weak human body. I can feel the fatigue taking over me. I barely ate and slept trying to make sure peyton was well fed and well she usually slept like a baby anyway whilst me or aiden were on watch.

'we need to stop for a while. My head is feeling really light and I'm gonna pass out any minute' I say letting peyton down and she goes off to cuddle with aiden. I smile weakly at the love she has for her brother.

'I know mama but we have to keep moving cause we are at the border of the Triton Pack.'

'Mama! It's the biggest and strongest pack in the country and if they find us they will kill us all without thinking twice about it.' Aiden growls frustrated from being on the run for so long.

'I just want us to find a place to settle down and start fresh. Its not healthy for you and for peyton either. I can survive here but you can't and I can already see how weak you are becoming.'

'I know but what can we do? We have to travel a good extra few days to get out of this area and then we can find a place to live aiden.' I answer back knowing fully well how stressful this is. he is only fifteen and he shouldn't have to look after a grown woman and her daughter.

I start crying to myself thinking about how much of a burden I am and how much stress I am causing aiden.

'mama, I didn't mean to upset you. I am just worried. Lets rest up here tonight. I'll be watching all night so you will get a good 5 hours to sleep.' Aiden says making my cry even more at how much he is willing to take care of us like a little man.

I turn to peyton who cuddles up against me and aiden comes back with a long sleeve shirt he must have found hidden around here. Strangely the smell isn't so bad, rather its actually quite calming and I wouldn't have known how well I slept that night because I know for sure that it was more than five hours.
