August , 18 Journal entry #1 It's been one month since the virus spread. Exactly one month for the world to go to hell. It started in Wyoming and spread in all directions until the whole of the USA was destroyed. Canada managed to put up borders in time that as far as I know still stand. Mexico was safe as well thanks to Trump's Wall . But fences and walls couldn't last forever. I haven't seen anyone since the virus took over. Just lifeless corpses walking through the streets. It didnt happen to everyone though, some people died on the spot, some were immune, and then some turned into those..things. And the few scientists left were trying to figure out why. But so far no work for a cure , the strands mutated rapidly making it almost impossible to counteract. We were fucked.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked Xander, my voice void of any emotions. I was in my warrior stance in front of the whole pack. Back straight, hands folded in front of me and feet shoulder-width apart. I know I looked composed because that's my training. Be composed; don't lose control. Don't lose the battle. But all I wanted to do was run into his arms. Beg him to reconsider. Promise him that I would be the best for him. "I, Xander Valverde, Future Alpha of The Nightfall Pack reject you Anala Rozinov as my mate." With those words, I felt our bond begin to break. It was agonizing like being whipped and have those wounds have acid poured on them. That burning sensation started in my heart, and I felt it spread throughout my body. I took a shaky breath but remained cold and emotionless. I needed to leave quickly; I need to find somewhere safe. "I, Anala Rozinov, Daughter of Beta Keone Rozinov accept your rejection as your mate," I replied my voice, surprisingly even and cold. "You are now free to join the Alpha King's Army. Please go pack your things and report to my office. The King will be sending someone to collect you." He said, his voice rough with emotions. "Sorry Alpha. But I have decided I will go rogue." There were gasps among the crowd. The Alpha looked appalled this wasn't a part of the plan. No one refused the King. But I refuse to be another playing card for another pack. No more. I want my freedom. If my mate isn't it, I will find my own way.
