"You don't have much time left, little rogue. If I count to five and you are still here, you’re dead!" Alpha Darius bellowed, and the floor seemed to shake with his words.
"You can't do this!" I screamed, rage erupting from within me as I refused to move. I was terrified, yes. But the fear welling inside of me was matched by my seething anger. I was determined to stand my ground. “I'm part of this pack!”
But he continued to count as if there was a bomb ticking in this pack house. "Two…!"
"Oh, no. That's terrible. How can she just go away? She has no wolf." Someone commented. I could hear her laughter behind me. "Poor little thing!"
That was what everybody knew. I was already eighteen, yet wolfless. So I shut my eyes and summoned her. ‘Reina, h-help me!’
Just then, Reina stirred, and her roar filled my head. ‘They want us out? Then, fine!’
'But how do we—shit!’ My next words turned into a guttural scream as my whole body seized with pain. Every joint in me cracked as though someone had contorted them in a thousand directions. I dropped to the floor, my breath hitching in agonizing bursts that ripped through my throat. Gritting my teeth, I mustered all of my strength, channeling it into one fierce primal scream that echoed around me.
Reina took over and exploded out of the window like a bolt of lightning. ‘We'll hunt them all down one day! I swear!’

We fled as far as we could go while I wept in the deepest pit of her head. But Reina explained that we were just getting started in life, and leaving our family was just a Chapter that had to be closed before we could move on.
"Where are we right now?" I asked her. "I can't smell the pack anymore."
"In another territory, I guess?" She sniffed and made a low groan, turning her head from left to right. "We have to keep moving and find a way out of here before it gets too dark."
She kept running, but this time she ran more slowly. Reina seemed to be in a state of confusion and discomfort, possibly due to being in unfamiliar surroundings. Despite this, she remained determined to continue and find a way out before nightfall. Regardless, everything looked brighter and more colorful through her eyes, as though it was daytime. We even felt better as the grass rustled against our fur. And the smell of damp earth and wild plants was like heaven.
What if we were indeed in heaven?
"Can we stay here for a bit longer?" I asked Reina.
‘Sure!’ she said, stopping by the thick roots of the tree. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, savoring the tranquility of the moment. The rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds were the only sounds that filled the air, and I knew that this was exactly where I wanted to be.
'This place is very safe. Though it would be much better if I could find a bunny rabbit. I want to work on my pangs.'
"Whatever you want," I said with a smile. What Reina liked, I liked.
"Mind if we take a little nap?"
"Of course. We need some time off."
"So, where will we go later?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "To be honest, I don't know. I've never been anywhere else in my entire life. Anyway, we'll figure it out in the morning."
My wolf and I talked for a while longer before we both fell asleep.

The sun was shining through the tree branches when I woke up the following morning. When I finally stood up, my eyes grew wide as I turned to look down at myself. I had no clothes on, and I was stuck together with dirt and dead leaves.
"Um, Reina? Are you there?" I whispered, massaging my temples for the little ache in my head.
Great. My wolf was silent. And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shift! 'Wait, did I really transform last night?' My stupid thoughts made me slap my forehead. Of course, I turned into a wolf last night. Without Reina, how could I have moved to this place? And my clothes had even been ripped when she appeared unexpectedly. But I couldn't just walk around naked. I needed to gather at least a few large leaves to cover myself. Then I'd walk down the street and ask for help.
Just as I was about to move, I heard someone on their way toward me.
"Well, look what we have found here!"
