***
My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done.
Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection.
I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you."
The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo.
Someone yells, “Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain.
The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, “Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?"
Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"

Moon Touched!!

I can’t open my eyes yet, but I can hear people speaking around me. Quiet whispers like they are afraid of being overheard. I recognized Mark, Kelp, and Doc. Sometimes I hear Alpha when he is there. The doctor chases him away because the machine beeps to fast. There are other voices, but I don’t really know them, like the woman who talks to me a lot. I like listening to her, her soft voice is calming. She likes to tell me stories or how pretty I am.


The other thing I notice is the smells. Besides the medicine and antiseptic smells, I notice a dank, mildew, old blood and dying flesh smell. I am not in a hospital obviously. Have I been sent to the dungeons already? Have all these people been sent to the dungeons with me? Did they do something to anger Alpha Thomas?


I need to wake up but no matter how hard I try to open my eyes they just won’t obey. I try to move my toes, nothing. I try to move my fingers and they won’t listen. This is so frustrating and tiring.
