Chapter 3 TRUTH SPOKEN

When I wake up in the mornings, I feel nothing but sadness and pain, knowing I wake up to a life now that would never get better. Not for me, but not today, today is different, I’ve never been so excited in my life. How is it that a person, any type of high influence person, can change someone's entire mood, whether it be a good or a bad mood? It's something that I don't understand in the slightest but I'm thankful for it, because today I'm not depressed, or waiting for my human life to take its full turn and just end, right now, today I'm thankful to be alive.

Yesterday I handled everything with my superior, about me being with the Alpha today, I got looked at by Jessica with such disbelief, but I don’t care. When I don't show up today, she'll get red in the face for sure, but that's not my problem. I told him the truth that she can go get confirmation from someone in the Alphas corner today, and when she goes out looking for me the only place she'll find me is by his side.

I can’t help but to be excited but also very nervous. I couldn't sleep last night because I was too excited, and now standing here outside this office I have killer butterflies in my stomach ready to strike me down.

Standing outside his main office on the third floor, many people so far have walked by me and gave me all types of looks trying to figure out why I’m standing here on the third floor considering all that has happened. But I don’t care.

I haven't spoken to Alice yet today either, she probably stopped by my room looking for me already. Every Tuesday she comes early so we can have our small girl talk about whatever and whoever, she's probably looking all over for me. I should've left a note or something for her so she doesn't think the wolves finally got rid of me.

The third floor, I honestly hate it, so much going on at once, I can't even think straight on this floor. Even when I was a wolf I didn't come to this floor, all the higher ups are always on this floor, handling whatever type of business.

Tuesdays, Lucie is always here in the office throughout the mornings, because Tuesdays are meeting days, where they have meeting after meeting, so I am a little confused as to why I'm able to join in to help out with the paperwork.

"I've been looking for you everywhere" I heard to my left making me shift my head towards the voice and came face to face with Alice.

"Hi Alice" I responded to her with a bright smile on my face.

"You're excited," she stated to me, bluntly looking at me from head to toe trying to figure out why.

"Yes, today is a good day" I simply stated to her with a small shrug off my shoulders, waiting for the man of the hour to appear.

"Why are you outside the Alphas office Eleanor?" she questioned me, looking at me with major suspicion.

"I'm helping our Alpha today with papers" I told her with a smile, can't help but let the happiness show, but she just looked at me like I was an idiot.

"Humans can't help with the paperwork of the Supernatural, you're not allowed to” Alice tells me, “And even if you were still a Wolf, it’s not within your rank Eleanor" she finished slowly for me to understand, but I couldn't, the smile left my face slowly as I looked at her with sadness.

"Then why ask me to help them? and even so, who cares right? He is the Alpha" I questioned myself. "And why are you here on the third floor? You don't come up here that much, even more so on Tuesday's?" I asked her.

"For a meeting, usually I'm not here but some Warrior Wolves are needed to help with rotation" she told me. "Who asked you to be here El?" she questioned me.

"The Alpha" I stated plainly.

The door then opened up behind us, by the guard, who stepped aside allowing us to enter the office. Me with such confusion, I didn't think anyone was in there yet, guess I was wrong to think that I was early. Me and Alice both stepped inside the office and it is huge, with a big rectangle table in the middle all the seats filled up and Lucian himself sitting at the head of the table looking at me, gesturing for us to take a seat, they’ve been waiting it looks like, I can’t believe I thought I was early.

We, Alice and I, took our seats, hers at the table and me on the small couch in the back with two others there as well, two other humans, now I was utterly confused. Lucian, he stood up and walked towards us on the couch, looked dead at us and uttered words I never wanted to hear in my life.

"You three Humans are here for rotation, two of you have reached the end of your period and one of you stayed until proper placement could be made and choice to serve until the end of rotation.” He says, “you are to be transported out of and to the Human section of the state."

The other two humans, they just nodded their heads accepting what they have been told, I didn't though I just stared at the ground where my feet are planted feeling the tears brim my eyes. Two Warriors along with Alice stood up, my guess is each of them is charged with one of us, an escort. Now I know why Alice is here, to transport me.

"Why?" I asked Luci, lifting my head to look at him, “Then why lie to me and say I’m here for something else?”

I looked at Alice as well, she didn't know by the look on her face, but what can she do, she can't go against her Alpha King, not even for me and even if she would've I wouldn't allow it, it could cause her great troubles if she did.

"I knew what happened in the meeting Eleanor, I know what was said and how you acted. This was the way I could get you here without causing a scene.” Luci said

“Rotation is the way, we switch out time after time, and it's your time now to go and be among your people, human workers here in the castle don't stay forever, there always." A man spoke out, but I didn't look at him. I kept my gaze on Luci, the man who spoke I don't know who he is, can't recognize his voice, must be someone known in the pack or has been around. I just didn’t know him, it’s been a while since I had a decent conversation with another wolf. Lucian looked straight at me holding my gaze well, he then kneeled down to my level, on one knee and spoke directly at me.

"This is just the way Eleanor, you are Human now, you follow their rules and how they do things, you're not a wolf anymore and I am sorry for that, and you must be sad to leave behind your home, but your home is with them now and you must go." With a look in his eyes, void of pity. For me, something I hated to be given by people of our world who felt some small part of sympathy for me after what happened, yet it was something that I wished he had for me.

"Okay" I said and stood up to my feet, head held high. "I've been trying so hard to stay here and be with you, my people, yet all of you just didn't give a damn so why should I" I bluntly stated out to everyone in the room, well besides Alice. "The moment it happened you all casted me out like I was nothing, yet there I was, here even still, trying to cling on to this, to my people and who I was, who I thought I still am, but you all can go to hell," The tears started to fall and I saw from the corner of my eye Alice making her way towards me.

"Come on" she told me grabbing my arm gently trying to pull me towards the door but I wouldn't go, because now I wanted them to know, and not for them to change minds and keep me here but for them to now they casted out what could've been a gift from the Gods and the Goddesses, so they say. Maybe I need to leave, maybe it’s time I should go to start a whole new life.

"To think all of this happened because of a damn Imprint" I chuckled out to everyone looking around the room, now the faces in the room started to change Alice even let go of my arm and just looked at me with mixed emotions, probably wondering why I would say something so grand in such a vile way.

"I will be happy to go to the human society, to let go of all of this shit we call our way of life, of our people. I will be glad to leave, because of our Gods and Goddesses, my wolf is dead. They wanted to bless me with their oh so loving gift, and the worst part of it all, I just had to Imprint on the fucking Alpha King, fully mated Alpha King. Just my Luck” I spat out to everyone in the room, while they all looked at me with disbelief.

"That's not possible even with your wolf being alive” Alice spoke out, “the gift is not given to a wolf of your standing El, everyone knows that” Alice told me calmly and I just shook my head, like I knew from the moment that I figured it out, no one would believe me, no one, that’s why I never spoke about it.

"She should be killed for what she just said" the man who spoke before said, it was a Beta that I can tell when I glance at him but I wouldn’t know like I said haven't been around the wolves for so long I don't know the new upper ranks or anything anymore.

"It doesn't matter" I told them, "I'll leave, it was a waste of a gift given to me and now for the Gods and Goddesses mistakes I'm paying for it, let’s see if the Humans will treat me better than you all.” I then turned to Alice and spoke out " I will be in my room packing up my things I will see you all when it’s time to be transported"

Then I walked out the way I came in, what a great day it turned out to be, my hopes were way too high, I wish now that I wasn't supernatural, because now I feel the pain, the pain of rejection.

Luci, he agrees with the rest of them in this pack house, it's time for me to go and damn does it hurt, if only someone else of higher standard told me that I would have to leave my home. If someone else told me besides him, I wouldn't feel this aching pain, but what could I do but just accept, pack and leave.

This is heart wrenching and the worst part of it all besides him knowing is that he can’t just reject me like a Mate could to another Mate, nor I to him. You can’t break an Imprint bond, it’s a bond that lasts forever, the main reason why the bond is so sacred among the Supernatural Creatures, it’s the most powerful bond to ever be created, a bond that can never be broken, no matter what.

I guess with that being said, I’ll know soon enough first hand, all of what happened to those who imprinted and didn’t get the acceptance by those they imprinted on, I mean seriously what more can be given to me with this pain, then taking away my wolf. What happened to them?

Did they lose their wolves too? A powerful bond such as this not being accepted must take some sort of toll way worse than a rejection from a regular mate, makes me wonder if it can take me that final blow of death, already being accused of being deadly sick. So, what is it then? Me living as a different species all together, did that happen to them as well? Change so completely to something else than what was a harsh fate. Is it survivable? You might think so but can it really be, changing who you are, who you grew up to be, to be something else it's a fate worse than death.

Something fitting for the most powerful to be created. So, what can us imprinters really do? nothing, nothing but take this pain. Which is what I’m going to do, I'm going to take this pain. I don't know if the other imprinters truly lost their being or what made them who they are. Not all imprinters were Werewolves, some were Vampires, Fairies and so on, so it’s hard to really understand what happened to Them. Even though my wolf is dead and yet the bond isn't, I'm still technically Supernatural. The bond is still there and this bond is for only those who are supernatural. But what if those imprinters were like me and went human what happens are they considered humans and not supernatural too. Can the imprint still be there since we started off supernatural?

There is only one other person who doesn't have their wolf anymore by knowledge, not that he lost it, but it was taken away by the pack witches for his crimes, and he was locked in prison, the Great Prison, still there to this day. I don’t know the full story behind that but his crimes were horrific, crimes that made you think of the bad things that happened during the great war.

I don’t know why but I knew it was by the order of Luci to do it, to take his wolf and lock him away, agreed upon by the other supernatural leaders. That was twenty years ago, before I was born that Luci locked away his older brother for life. Like I said we wolves age slowly, I’m just surprised that my parents didn’t have more kids than just me and my brother, considering me and my brother are over two decades apart and I’m sixteen, utterly ridiculous.

I can’t have hope anymore, it has now been ripped away from me and now I know I can’t go back to being in the world of my people, because apparently, I’m Human now, I'll take this pain, I have to find a way to welcome my new life, the Human world, and soon my new people.
