As the birds chirp happily around me, all I can feel is an emptiness surrounding me. And cold. My whole body was shivering. With no where to go and no one to talk to, I decided to sleep under the stars. I'm annoyed with every part of myself for being so blindly trusting. I look across the river and reflect on the last few months as tears flood down my face. I bury the urge to scream so that no one finds me. I feel sick to my stomach and not just emotionally. They say that when the mate bond is broken, one can be in so much physical and emotional pain that they begin deteriorating. I felt like parts of me were forgetting to do their job. It is hard to describe but my body felt wrong. Like it wasn't working properly. I had nothing. Shay and I had no pack to go to, no family, no friends.
