My uncle dragged my battered body out of his car onto the border of the Silver Moon Pack. I flinched with every move. I didn‘t know how much beating I was able to withstand before I finally told him how I got marked. I wanted to lie and tell him I met a random wolf along the way, but I knew he could sense my lies. I was never good at it. And I wished I had told him the truth earlier because maybe, I could have saved myself from all the pain and bruises I got. But then again, those pains and bruises were better than what I was feeling right now. 

I felt humiliated, standing in front of the men manning the Silver Moon Pack border as my uncle explained to them the reason we were seeking entrance to their territory. He was narrating his story like I was a slut. A whore who jumped on the first wolf that showed interest in me. 

Although my actions might come off as such, I knew I didn‘t do it out of thirst.  I was in heat.

My uncle has a mate, he should know better. But instead, he was making it clear to everyone within earshot that his niece couldn‘t even wait to ask for details about the guy before jumping into his dick. 

I let out a sigh as I tilted my head to the side, looking at the forest instead of the males in front of us, letting the memory of my mate come flooding back into my head. 

Three months ago, on the night of the full moon, I decided to run away from my pack to the human territory to stop my uncle from selling me to an old man who was thirty years older than me. 

And then, along the way, I met my mate. 

The mate bond snapped between us and I went into heat. And before we knew it, we mated and he marked me. But the next day, he went away and left me. 

Just like that. He came like a hurricane and wrecked me. 

But he did make me stronger. 

From that day forward, I tried to live my life, trying my best not to think about him. 

For the most part, I succeeded, but his memory and his smile would always creep into my mind, especially at night or when I was alone, which was always the case. 

I was alone. I left the neutral forest the same day he left me, after crying for an hour or two. And then I decided it was enough. I couldn‘t just stay there and cry over someone who didn‘t care about me. I still have my wolf, Arrow. That was all that mattered. I got back on my feet and proceeded with my plan to run away towards the human territory. I reached New Orleans and was able to live there, working my ass off as a waitress in one of the diners. For more than two months, I was able to keep myself under the radar, but then my uncle found me a few days ago. 

He didn‘t waste time taking me back to our territory and spent days beating me up so I would spill out who marked me. But he couldn‘t get anything from me aside from the truth. 

He knew I was marked in the neutral forest, and I told him it wasn‘t someone from our pack because I couldn‘t mindlink him. He then assumed that it was from the neighboring pack.
