Clarissa’s POV
One year later.
As I drive down the road with my best friend Cynthia whom I met a few weeks when I was preparing to open my bar here while she was scouting the area for any job vacancies.
We cliqued instantly and became inseparableI sigh at the games of fate. It’s been a year since I was rejected and left New Crescent moon pack.
I had applied to complete my studies earlier through the school portal and the school board approved on the condition that I ace all subjects in one trial.
If I couldn’t I had to attend physical classes and finish with my class mates and of course I aced them all. I got admission into an online university recommended by my bestie Cynthia.
I’m currently studying Law and Business administration while Cynthia chose Psychology. We also met another friend Michael a rogue Beta born during our orientation and we connected immediately.
I had managed to escape that day, successfully evading the trackers my dear ex-mate must have sent after me. I spent a whole week in the woods, during the day I stayed in human form covering up my scent while at night in wolf form.
Finally I was able to make it to the human town on my seventh night and slept in the woods nearby in wolf worm.
The next day I managed to freshen up at the public restroom and stole a hoodie from one of the clothing stores to hide my hair and joined the busy crowd to enter the bank.
Once inside I was to access the safe successfuly and emptied everything into my now empty duffel, except the cash.
It contained my original ID card, international passport, property transfer documents, my mom’s jewelry collection, our pack signet and stamp.
Two letters from both my parents with their respective crests stamped at the back of the envelopes and a business card belonging to the now former alpha of the royal pack.
The bank staff helped me open an account and deposit 1.8 million in it while the rest I kept in cash and had used it to eat, get a phone and book a cab to the Royal moon pack.
I use the map to determine my location and the right path to follow it was a half hour journey by car and two hours by foot.
I had already made it to the border when I felt a chill on my back, I smelt something rotten and it felt like death and instantly I realized who they were by the smell and feeling, I could never forget it.
Right away I understand they were the old mutt’s wolves had been keeping an eye on the royal pack, my dear old uncle was making already preparations.
I had changed my destination instantly while using my phone to send an anonymous email to notify them of the rogues on their borders.
Then I headed to the town on the other side of their border which has a vast unclaimed territory while praying my mail has given them a timely heads-up.
The city was huge and had many rogue wolves, they were the kind of rogues that prefer the free life to pack life, those who had been banished from their packs, those mated to humans and those who were either looking for their mates or had been rejected.
It was a safe haven for someone like me and I settled down nicely after I bought a small apartment close to the woods that separated the unclaimed territory from the royal moon pack territory.
The previous owners an old couple who were moving away gave it to me at a cheap price.I also rented a shop and opened a small café.
The coffee I made for my human customers was the usual coffee with or without cream while to the supernatural customers I sold the kind of coffee I had learnt to make for the alphas during their meetings.
The coffee is mixed with whisky and a small amount of wolves’ bane makes it hard for them to shift for a few hours as their wolves take a much needed nap.
They totally loved it and that encouraged me into renting the next building which I turned into a bar once I realized how much rogues enjoy partying and getting drunk.
I was looking for a bartender who knew how to mix drinks expertly when Cynthia strutted in one fine evening looking for a job, she’d mixed I shot for me and I hired her in a heartbeat.
Both of my businesses were managed personally by me until Michael moved into town and began assisting me while.
I’ve made many friends in the past year but Cynthia and Michael remained the closest, I'd told them I left after being rejected, Cynthia is a huntress who left to look for her mate while Michael became rogue after losing his mate.
I continued training with assistance from Cynthia and Michael till I could beat their a** after three month training together.
I also started training with the other rogues and vampires who lived I town after they realized I loved fighting and they were surprisingly nice.
It's been an eventful yet fulfilling past year and I don't regret a thing about it.
