Broken Treasure

Chapter 4

"Wow" I say as I take in the scene before me . I'm being surrounded by a beautiful meadow. The flowers make a sea of colors as the sun smiles in the sky.

There's not a cloud in the sky only the birds that sing sweet melodies in the distance . For the first time in many years I finally feel at peace.

I walk timidly at first, scared that if I make a move I might be sucked back into the nightmare of my reality.

Deciding to take it easy for a while I lay down with a sigh as the flowers take me into their silky embrace . The sun kisses my skin as I stretch my limbs out enjoying the moment . I close my eyes as the bird's music lull me.
....................
I jump, alarmed as I hear a clash coming from above me. When I sit up I'm saddened by the realization that I was dreaming.

No longer am I surrounded by the beauty of a meadow and nature's music but by a bulky figure with two pans in its hands.

"Wake up you worthless pup. Alpha Stan wants to talk to you." The figure spat as he walked out of my room and slammed the door.

I got up off the floor and made my way to Alpha Stan's. As I walked ,I couldn't help the way my breathing wavered.

"What could he possibly want with me."

"He's never asked me to come in his office before."

These were the thoughts racing through my head as I turned the corner. He never allowed me within a 1 mile radius of his office. Trust me I've made that mistake before.

I was only trying to bring him his lunch when he nearly snapped my arm before I got the chance to knock saying "my kind" we're not to touch his personal things.

I stared at the door in front of me. Confused on wether or not to knock I simply whispered, "Alpha Stan, did you want to see me." somehow my voice managed to crack before I was done.

"Pull yourself together Abigail you're just going to talk." my wolf spoke full of encouragement.

All of a sudden the door flew open, causing me to jump back in fright. Standing on the other side was the alpha's beta Marcus. He looked at me in disgust as I slowly trudged through the door towards Alpha Stan's desk.

"Yes, Alpha Stan." I said as looked at the floor.

"Look at me when you speak to me !" He growled

My head snapped up at his words. It was then that I could see how angry he was. I could feel the waves of anger radiating off of him as he glared at me. His usually blue eyes were now black as coal as they pierced into my own.

I whimpered as he got up from his desk and made his way towards me as a predator would its prey.

"What happened today." he asked me through clenched teeth.

"N-nnothing Sir." I sputtered.

At the speed of lightning his hand came crashing across my face. I fell to the ground , crawling back in an attempt to get away from him. Tears streamed down my face as I held my throbbing cheek.

"Don't you lie to me you worthless tramp. My daughter already told me everything . How dare you disrespect her in that manner."

"Sir I swear I didn't do anything , there has to be some mistake ."I said pleadingly as he came closer.

"So now you're calling her a lie in front of me." "and I suppose she just dumped spaghetti all over herself for the fun of it? Do I look foolish enough to believe that over my own daughter, your future Luna?."He questioned .

"N-nnnoo sir, it was an accident I swear. I would never disrespect her like that."

"Accidental or not it was still done and this act will not go by unpunished."

"Please it was an accident, I promise it won't happen again." I said while sitting up frightened by his choice of words.

His next words actually killed me on the inside. Nothing prepared me for what he was about to say.

"And I'm sure it won't because from this point on you are banned from the pack." he said, his voice full of finality.

"Please I said I was sorry." I pleaded as the tears came in bucket loads. "I'll do anything, just please don't do that."

If you didn't know, being banned from a pack is just like being homeless. You were now considered a rogue, a constant threat to society, and now had to live as so. Being in any pack, no matter the circumstances , was better than that.

Just thinking about it was enough to make my stomach churn in fear. I wouldn't last a day out there. I was far too weak and would be any easy target for any other rogue out there.

"Get her out of sight and off of pack grounds Marcus." he ordered .

"Please!" I screamed as I struggled against Marcus' iron grip.

"And don't come back, or else."

Obviously Marcus was getting tired of my feeble attempts of escape so he gripped a handful of my hair and dragged me out of the room and towards the exit door.

I hung my head in humiliation as the entire pack laughed as I was dragged like a dog out of the pack. Many of my fellow pack members even encouraged my "escort" to pull on my locks harder.

That wasn't really surprising to me, but what was was seeing my parents turn their heads as if they could care less. They acted as though I was a stranger to them.

The last faces I saw were Amber and her troops waving their manicured fingers at me with a separate but similar smirk on their faces as the door slammed shut behind me.

Marcus dragged me to the end of our, I mean their, pack territory. By that time my head was throbbing and my cheek was numb. More than likely sporting a giant, red handprint .

He threw me across the invisible line separating the pack from the others like I was trash. He turned around to leave but not before throwing me one more look of disgust and to spew a slimy hunk of spit in my face as a farewell gesture.

I wiped my face and just laid on the hard, muddy ground as I weeped. Not only was I banned from the pack, but I was now a rogue. I've never dreamed that this is how my life would be. Surely my days were numbered now if they weren't before .

I looked up to take in my surroundings and was terrified by what I saw. All around me there was darkness, not a single star in the sky. I could hear rogue wolves howling in the distance. They live for these nights,to cause havoc around them.

I do the only thing I can think of and run like a madman to get to any source of safety. My chest heaves in my chest as I run. I feel the branches of trees whipping my arms and legs as I run past them.

I push myself for what feels like hours. Since I can't shift and don't get proper nutrition plus my lack of required sleep ,thanks to my "loving pack", I can't run as fast and as long as I should be able to.

I feel myself falling to the ground from exhaustion. My legs are throbbing and my head spinning from my heady run. I shake as the wind seems to pick up around me. My thin and now tattered clothes are useless right about now.

Curling into myself, I lay on the ground praying for death as I willingly allow the darkness to consume me. Before I am completely out, I hear my wolf whisper inside my head "every thing is going to be alright."
