Chapter 1 1

Spoiled brat, stubborn, hard-headed. She's always giving a hard time to her parents.

"This is too much, Cassy!" Caden said, frustration evident in his voice. "Are you really not going to straighten up, huh?"

"Caden, please, d-don't shout at our daughter like that," Liana said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"And what should we do with that girl?! She's already 22, and yet, she's still in her first year of college! And worst of all, she failed all her subjects! My God! She's a disgrace to the family! She's the black sheep!"

"Caden, please? Don't be too harsh to our daughter."

"Child, why did you-"

"Mom, I'm sorry. I-I shouldn't have joined that raid, I just happened to go with my friends to that bar."

"That's my point, dear. Why do you hang out with people like them who have no direction-"

"Mom, please...? Even you?"

"I'm just reminding you, dear. Honestly, I'm losing hope that you'll ever straighten out your life."

I just sighed. I'm getting scolded every day. Yeah, my parents are nice, but I want my freedom.

"Mom, I'll be going out tonight."

"You have class tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah, I'll come home early too."

"We'll talk tomorrow with your Dad, so be home early after school, okay?"

"Yeah," I lazily replied.

I'm really feeling lazy. My professor is going to scold me again because I haven't been to class for almost a week, which my parents don't know about. Oh well, it doesn't matter since I won't pass anyway. My life is so enjoyable... hanging out with friends, shopping, clubbing. I have my own money. Mom always puts money in my card. I'll start getting ready because later we're going to the club.

As I got ready, I couldn't shake off the feeling of frustration and guilt. Deep down, I knew my parents were right. I was wasting my potential, squandering the opportunities they worked so hard to provide for me. But the allure of freedom and the thrill of the nightlife seemed irresistible. Each night out offered an escape from the mounting pressure and expectations at home and school. Yet, with each passing day, the weight of disappointment in my parents' eyes grew heavier, casting a shadow over my moments of fleeting joy. Despite their constant admonitions and pleas, I couldn't bring myself to break free from the cycle of recklessness and defiance.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
