It's been a year, and nothing has changed Stefan didn't return as he promised and I have turned down Sara's offer, when she said we will go somewhere far, I didn't want to go, I don't want to be away from here, what if Stefan returned and didn't find me?
He asked me to wait for him, so I will have to wait, I could see the disappointment written on her face when I didn't accept to go with her. Fine deal with your pain. She was mad, she wanted to help but I throw her help right on her face, she left me and didn't come back.
I was going to wait for Stefan, even if he take forever, I will wait and this is what I have been doing for a year yet I was waiting and my condition didn't change, come to think of it, I wasn't the only one suffering the entire pack is suffering, if Leonid wasn't increasing taxes, he is taking people's mate, if he wasn't doing that he is ending the life of an offender, a supposed offender, everything is an offense to Leonid and his Luna.
The peace and serenity in the pack are gone, in this past year, Leonid had led three wars, which led to the loss of lives.
Mothers have mourned their children and wives had mourned their husbands that left for war and didn't return, as if that isn't enough, the pack was experiencing drought, is like the moon goddess is mad at us.
I could hear other slaves murmuring about the poor condition of the pack, and as if not having food and water to drink is not enough, the alpha is planning to go for another war with a stronger pack.
The amount of atrocities carried out in the pack by Leonid, Kira, and Uncle Bob is enough for the pack members to choose to go slavery if another alpha takes control over the pack.
I was busy with my laundry, I am used to this life, my beauty is gone, I was looking like the shadow of myself, and one could hardly recognize me. I have changed greatly and nothing of my old self could be seen in me. Those who knew me before could hardly recognize me, even if we meet again.
Fiona my mate!!! That voice again, that voice I don't want to hear, is here again. Oh, my mate, she is looking different.
I am not your mate.
Of cause, you are not, you look horrible, and you can't be my mate. He moves closer to me. I like my mate hot and pretty but it's never too late, I could turn you back to Fiona, that Fiona that is my mate.
Leonid leave me alone, I have to endure this for these 365 days, if I have endured this for this long, then there is no turning back my Stefan will come.
Haha! He laughed coldly. Did you remember I told you this same time last year, that everyone will forget about Stefan and no one will remember him? He asked with his voice filled with humor. I glared at him, I hate it anytime he reminds me that he told me so. I haven't replied to him before he parted his lips and speak
How is it? You pick him over me, tell me the truth, Fiona, I know deep down in your heart you regret your actions.
Of cause, I did regrets my actions and that action I regret not going with Stefan, not jumping over the cliff where he fall off from. Those were the words I wanted to shout to his face.
Now, see how true my words are, have you ever heard anyone mention his name? Those lonely and dark nights that you spend in that cage, amid the pain in your heart and Stefan not coming back, did you make the mistake of hearing just the whisper of his name? Or maybe in the clunk of your shackles, have you heard his name? He grabbed the shackles causing me to fall
No, the Shadow moon pack had forgotten him, they never talk about him, and in their eyes, he is only a traitor, a traitor that they killed his own and he will never be remembered.
They are only two people in this pack that remember him, you and I. You remember him as you watch him die in front of you because you were his weakness and you wish to see him returned while I wish to kill him over again when he returns as you claimed with my bare hand.
The sad truth is, both our wishes will remain unfulfilled because he is not coming back, Stefan is gone, gone for good and he is never coming back.
Never, my Stefan will return and he will hurt you, for laying your filthy hands on me. He will return and snatch out your eyes
But until then, you will be mine. He screamed, and grabbed my wear, in one go, my wears are rip off me, I try to cover myself in my shackles, but Leonid wasn't backing down today, he dragged me up and pinned me to the cage with my back against the cage, he sucked on my skin while he runs his hand on my skin, I try to push him away, I try to avoid his lips, I won't want his lips to touch mine, I fight with every strength in me yet they are no match, how can I even fight, when these shackles are on me. when his hand meet my undies he was about to rip them off and leave me in my birthday suit when he heard a loud noise, it was the sound of wolves, they were howling, I wonder what is the cause and that was what distracted him.
Alpha Leonid!!! One of his guards called, he turned and look at me under his grip. Sorry alpha.
Idiot, what is it? Didn't I ask you to wait outside? Before the guard could even reply, he grabbed his dagger and pierce it in his stomach, he fall to the floor right in front of me
Now, if you don't comply, I will have to do the same for you. He point the dagger back at me, he was coming on top of me again when Uncle Bob pushed the door.
Leonid, idiot!
What is it, uncle? He said with gritted teeth, I don't know why he can't get mad at him. I heard the only person he fears, his uncle Bob, I wonder the reason behind it.
You should leave that worthless woman, the pack had been attacked, everyone from the royal house is been killed and you should know that bloody alpha gets hold of you, he will have your head on the plate.
What? Leonid screamed. Get the army, we should fight.
No, we can't fight, he is stronger than us, his army is ten times ours and you should know you have killed most of our strong warriors.
Fuck!!! Leonid cursed, he turned and kissed my lips one last time. You put her in the cage.
Leonid!!!
Uncle Bob called, and he sighed.
Where is Kira? Leonid asked.
You should know I don't care about that worthless woman, as far as I am concerned, your safety is the only thing that matters.
Leonid sighed as Uncle Bob yelled at him, right in front of me, they transform into their wolf and left everyone running helter-skelter, it seems the new alpha wanted all in the royal house eliminated.
Hey you, you should leave, the new alpha will not spare any guard here. One of the guards yelled to the one that has pushed me back into the cage.
Please, I beg you, take off this chain. He looks at me, and for the first time, someone felt pity for me. He grabbed the chain to take it off but his throat was slit, I watch him fall to the floor.
Hey, Old hag!
Kira!!!
Yes me, oh my beloved sister, I thought of killing you but then I remembered father's words, it's a taboo to have your sister's blood in your hands, so I will give you a farewell kiss, she pushed me back into the cage my head meets the wall, as my vision goes black.
