Luciano, or Damien leaves with the cell open and I'm tempted to get out of here. I decided to take a chance and I look out into the dark and empty hall. I walk out and see the exit. I run for it.

The light shines down and I sprint as fast as my feet will take me.

"Lavender, if your still there now would be an amazing time to come out. You wanna take a run? Well come on! This might be the only chance we get!" I yell at her.

Just like that, I feel her coming on.

I hear and feel my bones cracking and breaking as I shift into my wolf for the first time in a while. I run on my four paws and feel my beautiful wolfs presence.

"Lavender?" I excitedly say.

"We need to get far away. Our heat is coming soon and we need to be contained." She barely gets out.

"What's a heat?" Before she can answer, she goes back into the unknown and unreachable.

"Lavender!" Damn it. I shift back into my human form and come to a complete stop. My old apartment. The two bed room place I used to share. I'd never thought i'd miss this dump. I smile at the flowers on the sides of the space by the door.

I dig inside the pot by the door and take out the spare key that used to be Grace's.

I feel cool metal against my fingertips and I take out the key and open the door. I inhale for a while and shut the door behind me and run into my old room.

Goodness.

It's so good to be back.

I go over to my cell phone. 21 missed calls. 13 voice messages. 7 from ma, 2 from my brother and 11 from my dad. That's strange. My dad never calls.

Pressing contacts, I find my dad's and hit the call button. It rings for a few seconds, then he answers.

"Dulcenea?"

"Yeah. Hi dad." I start gathering things to take a nice, long bath.

"How's the mission going? Has the alpha come back? Have you heard anything about the threat?" He starts going.

I roll my eyes at this. I said hi. This guy doesn't even care about my well being.

"Daddy, you haven't called me for 6 whole months. Not once. At least mom did. Even for five minutes, she would still check up on me. You never have time for me. You never made time for me. And all you care about is this stupid mission so we don't all get killed on our land but fuck! I'm tired! I've been working nonstop at this shitty job you ask them to give me, and recently I was help captive by the alpha who almost had me starved!" I yell into the phone.

Nothing comes back from the other end.

"Hello?"

"Okay i'm back. I had to put a folder away. Now what where you saying?"

"Nevermind. Yes, the alphas back. No, I haven't heard anything about the threat. I haven't gotten a chance to look into it." I sigh in frustration, running a hand over my face.

"Well what did I have you go over there for huh? To mess around? It seems like thats all you do! I've talked to Grace almost everyday and she always has an update! You're so lazy! I wish I had a different daughter!" He shouts and then I hear a beep. He ended the call.

I blink at the phone, feeling a tear slide down the side of my face, and I take off my clothes, sliding into the tub.

My heart hurts so much.

I let out a sob and let my head hit the back of the tub. I wish you did too dad. I do. I shouldn't be alive. I don't want to be anymore. I have an asshole of a mate, of a dad, of a life and I want it all to just be over.

"Do it for mom..."

"You're right. She loves me. She always has."

I soak my head into the water and it covers my face. I clean my hair and give it a good and thorough brush, then scrub every part of my body. This is so relaxing. So nice. I lay in the bath for a few more minutes before I dose off...


<~~~~~>


I wake up and gasp for air.

I'm in water. Did I not get out of the bath?

I bring a shaking hand up to my face.

It burns.

Everything burns.

It hurts.

I whimper and get out, shivering as I wrap the towel around my body.

I stand with my legs wobbling and try to get out of the bathroom.

My knees buckle under me and I fall to the ground by the door.

I cry out.

Why does it hurt so bad?

What the hell is happening to me?

It's burns.

Like fire.

I crawl back to the tub and put my arms inside of the dirty water.

It's cools off a little.

I unplug the plug and turn on the knob.

Whimpering, I bring myself back in the tub.

The cold water runs down my back as I silently sob.

I bring my knees to my chest, trying to get all of my body in the coldness.

It's so hot.

Why am I burning?

The fiery feeling becomes more intense and I cry out once again, getting out the bathtub and crawling out into the living room.

I sob, as I make it to the kitchen area.

I grab my phone from where I put it last and try to concentrate to unlock it.

My eyesight is blurry with tears and my hands are shaking.

I groan in frustration and throw the phone.

Luciano.

I want Luciano.

I need Luciano.

I stand up and head for the door.

My wolf.

"If you go to him, you will have to mate with him. Are you sure you want to do that?" Her angelic voice rings in my head.

I want the pain to go away.

I'm sorry lavender.

No.

I need to be strong.

I sniffle and go into the room, seeing myself in the mirror.

I'm naked.

Good lord, I would have went out with nothing on.

I throw on a large shirt over my body.

I cry as the material touches my skin.

It's like acid.

It hurts.

So bad.

I can't be strong.

I collapse on the floor and cry.

Just cry. As the fire rakes through my body.

It burns so bad.

Please, somebody help.
