Chapter 2
As I slowly opened my eyes, the fluorescent lights above me pierced through my brain like a thousand knives. I was met with the sterile smell of the infirmary, a place I had only visited a handful of times before. The beeping of the machines surrounding me was a harsh reminder that I wasn't in my cozy bed at home.I have this hollow feeling in my chest, like a part of me had been ripped out. The memories of the previous day came flooding back, and I felt a wave of grief wash over me. My parents... they were really gone. Pain is all I feel not physical pain but emotional pain I am all alone in the world, I have no other family my parents were all I had now I'm orphaned I think as tears flow out of my eyes. "You're not alone, you have me and I'll always be here with you." a voice says and I remember that I got my wolf atleast I have her with me and I know the pack members are going to take care of me we're family after all. I just sit there stare into the wall and drown in my sorrow for what feels like hours and I eventually fall asleep with tears still running down my eyes.
I am woken up by a soft voice whispering in my ear, "Aziza, can you hear me?" It's Jess I slowly turned my head towards the sound, and two blurry faces came into focus. My friends are here and their eyes are filled with compassion, but also a hint of sadness. "Guys" I say and just break down and I am engulfed by their arms as they hug me and we cry together. "It hurts ,it really does" I say to my friends as I continue to breakdown. "I am so sorry, I can't even imagine what you're going through, but we're here for you and we'll never leave your side " Jess says as they cry along with me. After that long and needed hug with my friends we separate. "What's happening out there guys?" I ask them. "Well they're doing damage control and I I heard my father say they suspect that someone from the pack was working with the rogues so they're also busy investigating that as well." Em says. "What who would betray the pack like that?" I ask shocked. "I don't know, but whoever they are, they are going to be I so much trouble when they get caught" Em replies. "I hate that whoever that is" Amber says and let's out a growl. "What was that?" they both ask. "it's my..." I say and Amber stops me "don't tell them" she says "Why?" I ask. "Just don't " she says almost shouting at me. "Okay I won't " someone's a little bossy I see. "Az, what was that" Jess asks. "My stomach, I haven't eaten the whole day." I lie. "You should have texted us and told us to bring you some food. You're so dramatic by the way, who cries and lands themselves in the infirmary?" Jess says rolling her eyes and laughing and we laugh along with her. We spend the rest of the day together and their presence makes me feel a little bit better. While we're chatting, Em suddenly goes quiet and seems to be having a serious mind-link conversation with someone -perks of having alpha blood- Em's eyes are narrowed, the conversation she's having seems to be serious, her gaze becomes intense and her body is now visibly rigid, her eyebrows furrow and her jaw tightens, this is intense I wonder what the conversation is about that's making her so tense and visibly upset and her eyes have turned pitch black like her wolf is about to emerge and all of a sudden she abruptly stands up, grabs Jess' arm and drags her out of the room. I am left confused and with a lot of questions in my mind. Why did Em drag Jess away like that? where are they going? couldn't she explain to us what was happening? this is all so very weird and why did she leave me behind?Am I losing my friends too? Will I be left all alone again? This hurts.
I spend the entire afternoon and evening trying to call and text my friends but neither of them will answer my calls or reply to my texts. I am starting to get worried, was there another rogue attack? but they wouldn't leave me here if there was and worst part no one has come to check on me for hours, it seems like even the nurses are ignoring me, so I walk out of the room to find out what's happening and I meet Nurse Sarah, who was taking care of me since I got here, but she just walks past me like I am invisible or something and other Nurses and Doctors also pass me like I am a pole, but they don't just walk past some give me dirty looks, so I turn back and get into bed and just lie there not knowing what is wrong and why people are suddenly cold towards me, I have no one, I am all alone in the world and I don't even know why, the only thing I now is the white infirmary walls and the smell of disinfectant that surrounds me, that has been here I got here,those are my final thoughts as I drift off to sleep.
I am woken up in the middle of the night by a strong, dark aura that causes my skin to have goosebumps. When I open my eye I am met by black eyes glistening in the dark corner of the room and the person walks over to me really slow like a predator stalking their prey.
I try to see who it is but it's difficult because it's midnight so it's really dark out. The more to person stalks towards me I get a clearer view of who they are and it's Alpha Jackson. He scared me almost half to death but it's so nice to see a familiar face, the Alpha is like a second father to me, maybe he can explain to me what's actually happening. But what is he doing here so late? this is weird. "Did you know?" he asks disturbing my thoughts. "Know what? " I ask confused "That your parents are, well were filthy rogues?" he asks lowly with his wolf at the verge of attacking me, I hope he doesn't. I am so confused and scared how could my parents be rogue, we have been in this pack my whole life. Seeing my confusion he says " so they hid it from you as well, what did they think? that they would be able to defeat my pack? MY PACK?! Did they not know that my pack is the strongest pack there is? he is so loud and scary that my wolf whimpers and he scoffs and says "such a weak wolf for an Alpha" under his breath. Whose the weak Alpha wolf? He then takes out a huge needle and says he is putting to sleep while he decides what my fate will be. He then injects me with whatever is in the syringe and off to la la land I go.
