Angel's POV

 The stairway wasn't that long. After about 20-30 steps, I finally saw the dungeon my mom was talking about. It was dark, eerie and very quiet. My heart is still rapidly beating fast since all the things my mom said back in my room has just registered in my mind. Oh my gosh, my pack is under attack, i have this mysterious box which I still have no idea on what it is and what it can do, and my parents are in danger. When those thoughts register in my mind, I felt the urge the go and return to help my pack, but I can't. I have to protect my family, and the only way I can do that is by going to my Aunt in HillWood Downtown and give her this box. I may be scared and alone, but I ain't the Alpha's daughter for nothing. Like my parents always tell me, I am special, strong and powerful for I have the Alpha's blood in me. With that encouragement, I jumped mid-air, bit my backpack and the black box, shifted in my wolf form, ran as fast as my four paws can take me, and go to my Aunt Marie.

I ran and ran for what seems like hours. I feel extremely exhausted and I can feel Asprin, my wolf , also tiring.

Hey, Asprin, you still okay? I am so tired. Can we take a rest first?

No, we can't! We have to go to HillWood Downtown as soon as possible! Don't worry, we're almost there, honey. Just a lil' push and we'll make it.

But Aspriiiin.. Can we..

She cut me off and said, "If you want to protect your parents and the whole pack, then I suggest you clear your mind, focus on the road ahead of you and keep running. I told you we are almost there!"

"Someone's cranky..." I said, trying to tease her. But her reply totally had me speechless, and I instantly regret teasing her.

"If you want the whole pack and your parents to die because of your stubbornness, then we can stop" With that, she now went at the back of my mind, cutting our mind link, clearly pissed at me.

At the mention of my parents, I quickly continued running, thinking that it was useless to argue with my wolf. She is like a fire inside of me. She's feisty, bossy, and definitely strong while I, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. Okay fine, I may be a little bit feisty and bossy. Ugh.. okay, fine I may be kinda like her, but she definitely is more bossy!

So after what seemed more hours of running, I wanted to ask directions on the exact address of my aunt and fortunately, I saw a woman standing in a V-neck shirt with a black leather jacket, black jeans, and boots. The house behind her was average size and I just realized that her house was in the middle of the forest."That's odd" I thought to myself. 

As I reached her yard, I went at the back of the tree, shifted back in my human form since I don't want her to see me naked or something, and put on some clothes. I then proceeded to the door where she was waiting with a smile still plastered in her face. As I was about to reach her and ask for my Aunt's address, I suddenly felt a severe pain in my chest. I stopped and placed my hand in my chest and rubbed it vigorously, hoping that the pain would go away, but it didn't, it only became worse. The pain was so unbearable and I cried out, trying to ease the pain. None of it worked. I cried and shouted like a mad man, trying to remove the pain. I saw the woman crouch beside me, asking me what happened. I couldn't understand her, my vision started getting blurry, dark spots were slowly appearing, cutting off my vision.

I couldn't breathe.

I couldn't hear what my Aunt was saying.

My chest was throbbing so hard.

I had no idea why.

I couldn't stop it.

And then...

everything went black.

And I gratefully accepted it.

3 Hours Later~

I slowly opened my eyes and sighed. It was all a dream. My parents, our pack being attacked, my mom forcing me to go and run away to go to my aunt and having that mysterious box. Me having that pain in my chest and fainting. Boy was I glad that all of those were a dream. None of it is true. Thank the moon goddess for that. I can't imagine what I would do when those scenarios really happened. 

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, causing me to remember my dream where I had felt the exact feeling. I started rubbing my chest again, trying to relieve the pain. It started growing more and more, and I can't help but cry out, not being able to take the pain. Just then, a woman, probably at her late twenties, came bursting in my room, with a worried expression in her face. Wait, who is she?Where am I? I took a good look on my surroundings and noticed that I wasn't in my old black, Gothic room, which is who I am, but rather, I was at a room with bright pink polka dot walls, a closet that suits 5 year-olds, another room, probably that's the bathroom? and the bed I am currently lying in. I realized that it was also.. How would you say it... Girly? With pink bed sheets, violet pillow cases, and around 5 stuffed toys, this room looked like it was made for 10 year-olds and it somehow made me feel really uncomfortable.

I felt the pain again and cried out. I can't take it anymore. I can also feel my wolf whimpering coz' she can also feel it. I started rubbing it again and again, tears falling in my eyes and I can feel my face getting wet from my tears.

Suddenly, a voice spoke up that caused me to stop what I was doing and to look at the person speaking.
