“I thought that he didn’t know about my horrible life, but he knew all this time,” she said to Gal. “He knew how miserable my life was and he just stood and watched me as I struggled to survive!”
“I can’t stand it anymore!” she yelled in her mind “I..I just need to get out of here!”
She remembered everything and all those thoughts that were running through her mind in the last few minutes now were revealed through the light of a new plot. Plot which was not new at all but it was there from the beginning.
They fooled her.
Her father, her siblings, the pack doctor, Patrick…everything was a fucking lie! And she was thinking of asking Patrick for help!
“Shit!” She just stood there and caught the bridge of her nose trying to focus and think about what she should do.
“Run or die!” gal stated “ Those are our options!”
“I thought that he loves us , Gal. After mom died he was there, he took my hand in his hand and told me that everything will be fine! Someone will love you! Those were his own words. But he knew all the time that that someone will never show up, because I will not be here anymore!”
And she clenched her fist.
“Someone will love you” echoed in her ears followed by the reality “this is not the first time she donated blood “
All this time he wasn't there as her friend , he was her guardian. He was there just to fool her enough not to run, to give her hope.
“How could I be so fool!” she asked herself “I was worrying that he will be sad and in the end he was behind all this all this time. He is just one of the people who wants to kill me”
And feeling like a deer in the middle of the wolves she changed her mind.
“I can’t let them win! “ and taking a few steps back she turns and runs back into the forest. She runs until she reaches the crystal lake again and falls to her knees starting to cry.
“Mom !” she yelled. “I was wrong. Everything I told you was a lie. They lied to me, mom! Everything was a lie. Patrick was just a lie, the biggest one. He is just one of my executioners. The cruelest one!”
But while she cried her heart out , in full despair Patrick showed up followed by a group of people.
"Oh my goddess!" Sarah said in her heart. "He came to take us...He came here personally!" and the despair took over he mind and soul. She lost her mother a few days ago and now the only person she cared and loved in this world was revealing himself as a schemer. The biggest one in her life.
"I fell like a fucking puppet in this puppeteer's hands." and her heart is bleeding so hard she can't find the strength to look at him anymore. She just stays there and cries as she never did it in her life.
“He came to take us to the scaffold.” Gal said to Sarah “Our executioner came to take us”.
“Sarah” Patrick whispered a little bit panicked seeing her like this, on her knees, crying hysterically. Thinking that she is crying because of her mother's death.
She just stood there and after some time when she calmed down a little, she wiped her tears and raised her head looking in his eyes with her bloodshot and swollen eyes. She just looked at him, remembering their first encounter, how he found her that day some time ago, and how he kept coming back to her. But now she knows that all was just a lie.
And he looks at her and has the same sensation, it’s like a deja-vu that both of them are living it.
“We should go back, Sarah,” Patrick said, kneeling near her and holding her hand. "Let's go!"
He held her hand countless times and she was glad to let him do it, but this time she feels different knowing the truth, and she just retreated her hand, letting it fall from his hand.
“Goddess!” she said to herself almost bursting again in tears but she looks in his eyes and tells him serious:
“I can’t go back, Patrick. If I go back I will die..” and she looks straight in his eyes while she repeats “I will die..”
Patrick just stood there and looked at her, how serious she was and thinking about it, he got angry inwardly, but maintained a businesslike formal attitude not to scare her.
“Why is she acting like this, Bart?” he asked his wolf , but Bart just stayed mute analyzing everything that happened.
“I know that you are sad, Sarah. I know that coming back to this place triggered a lot of sad memories, but that’s enough! We need to go back now!”
But Sarah just said again almost like a whisper “I can't go back, I will die … and I want to live, I want to have my happy ending. Patrick. Don’t you think that I deserve one? I just don’t want to die..”
And seeing her like this, totally uncooperating Patrick felt that she was just disobedient , and she was ruining everything acting like this. So completely flustered he stretched out his hand to grab her and force her walk.
“You will not die. You are strong, aren't you?"
But Sarah jumped from her place, moving away from him, before he could grab her arms, shocking him.
“Oh my goddess!” she prayed in her mind “Kill me now! End this now please, because it is too much for my poor heart. “
And lifting her gaze she just sees Patrick looking at her infuriated.
“You really think that I should go back to the pack isn’t so?” she asked with hater and he was just looking at her.
“You really want to see me dead?” and this time he couldn’t stand it and he said:
“Will you stop it with this non-sense? I’ve already told you. You are strong!”
And seeing him so determined to take her back she finally understood his heart. He is just cruel. Nothing from what she would say will make him change his heart, because he doesn’t have a heart.
So she stopped crying and wiped her tears. He wants her dead! Then let him see her dead!
He wants to grab her hand to calm her as he always did but she pushes him aside , without caring that he is the prince of werewolves and she just walks back to the Blood Moon Pack with a cold face.
“Sarah!” Patrick called her but she just walked away from the lake, from Ian, from everything, without looking back.“Sarah, don’t be like that!”” He said, seeing her that she is just ignoring him and keeps walking without saying anything and this is something he just realized that it’s kind of upsetting.“Why did you act so rough with her, Ian?” Bart asked but Ian just stopped and let her go. In the end she was returning to her father's packhouse and this was what counts. Without her the blood exchange ceremony couldn't start, isn't it?He watched her moving away, he watched her delicate figure, her long brown hair fluttering in the breeze, until she was only a small point in the horizon and a lot of thoughts started to run in his mind. She never acted like this, he has been seeing her almost everyday since this blood change ceremony started.It is true that she was more and more pale every day but with him she was always smiling, even today, in the morning she was laughing and askin
“Goddess!” Sarah screamed in her heart as soon as she closed the door behind Patrick.“Hey, they don’t deserve our tears!” Gal said.“Everyone left us, Gal! We don't have anyone in this world to care about us, but at least we have each other.” and Sarah put the book on her desk , because the truth is she never intended to read, it was just a reason to make Patrick leave.“We are so alone in this big world that it’s scary, Gal.” and tears start to run again on her face, but those are not tears of fear, tears of pain. Are somehow, in all this madness, tears of relief.Someone once said that betrayal can be a gift.“Everyone laid to us. All this time all they wanted was to save Amber, no matter what. My life is not important. Mom was right, Gal. Mom was so right.”“You have me, Sarah.” Gal whispered “To the end, I will be by your side”“But the end is so close, Gal. And I didn’t have time to be happy in this world, to have our first shift, our first run, to find my mate.”“Is better this
“Just sit here and drink this cure!” the doctor said without looking at Sarah. And how would he have been able to look in her eyes when he knew too well what he was giving her to drink?“Cure?” Sarah asked laughing bitterly “Oh my goddess” she whispered and lifting her gaze she saw Mark and the doctor’s assistant watching her with concern.“Let’s do this, give me that so-called cure you said about” and Sarah holds out her arms and takes the “cure” from the doctor.“Drink it to the bottom,” Her father said. “Don’t let not even a single drop inside that recipient or the cure will not work” he said commandingly, while Amber, her sister was just smiling.“Can’t we start it?” she said “I am tired of waiting. I want to be healthy and meet my future husband, she said, accentuating the last words to stab Sarah in her heart, because she knew too well that Sarah and Patrick had a good relationship.Sarah just looked around.“What the hell , Gal? Isn’t it here not even a single person to care ab
“Sarah..” he heard her name being called.“We did it , Gal” she said “We are free.” and she just stood there, trying to find the strength to open her eyes.“Why am I feeling like this?” and Gal escaped a soft growl “I thought that on the other side there would be no more pain. I feel like shit!”But hearing what Gal just said Sarah realized something and focusing on everything she heard around the doctor’s voice.“This was not a part of the plan. Why the hell did you give her her sister blood?”“Oh my goddess!” Gal yelled “We are still here? We are not dead yet?” and he starts to cry so hard that brooked Sarah’s heart.“We are together in this, Gal. I am here, “ she whispered and tried to focus around to find out why she was still alive.“He will break our legs for this” the doctor said and she felt his hands over her arms , probably searching for her pulse and blood pressure.“We could say that she simply resisted, he doesn’t need to know that I gave her the blood that we exchanged f
Next day at breakfast Sarah just went to the kitchen as she always did before this madness with changing blood to start at this level and she opened the fridge searching for something to eat but nothing looked good.“Why are you here?’ She heard a woman's voice behind her back.“Luna Marcella” Sarah said turning around and bowed her head in front of her auntie. Pete Thompson’s Luna is her mother's sister. She hated Sarah from the first day of her life, since Pete Thompson brought her into his house and his illegitimate child.The only reason she tolerated her around was the fact that Amber was sick and her husband promised her that he will use this child as a cure for their daughter. He promised her that after Amber will be healed she will not be around anymore and yet, here she is in the middle of her kitchen, remembering her about her fucking drunken husband who raped her own sister.“Why are you here? I asked you something!” and she almost growls making Pete Thompson search for her
Sarah just stood in her room and looked at the milk and the cereal she took from the kitchen and after seeing ther so-called family now her appetite began to fade.“I am sick of this!” She whispered and put the food on her desk and closing her eyes she thought again at her mother's last words “I finally am free” and she was so envious of her but she can’t focus on anything else because her door opens and she turns around just to see Mark in the door.“So the bastard daughter is alive,” he said, laughing in her face.Sarah just looked at him,“I think that he is bipolar, Gal” she said in her mind. “He is smiling at us just to destroy us in the next second. He says “I am sorry” just to wear me down and trample on me. I think he is sick.”“He was just smiling at us in the kitchen” Gal said annoyed and now he calls us bastards?”“Are you mute?” Mark asked her but she just watches him, not knowing what he is looking for.He takes a few steps in her room and looking around sees the food she
“Get out of my sight !” Amber said walking the halls of the pack house, and seeing Sarah she can't help herself and push her, making her to unbalance and almost hit the ground.“Amber!” Mark growled seeing the whole scene and he wanted to say a few words to his rude sister but thinking about and looking at Sarah he changed his mind.“Don’t push her, Amber. If the blood exchange doesn’t work we will still need her. In the end it is a good thing that she survived” and he said that mocking Sarah in her face.“There is nothing that could go wrong!” Amber laughed in his face. “I am already healed. I ‘ve never felt so strong and healthy. Even Patrick said that and now we are preparing our wedding!” she grinned at Sarah.“He’s now focused on serious things and on our relationship. In the end we will be husband and wife in two weeks. “ and she looked at Sarah saying that because she wants revenge for all those times when Patrick came in the pack and ignored her for Sarah.“Congratulations!” S
“Where is he?” Amber asked running into her father’s office after she heard that someone came from the palace.“Who are you talking about?” Pete Thompson asked, looking at her a little bit annoyed for disturbing him like that.“Patrick! Where is he?” and she looks around and the fury starts to take over her spirit.“Did he went to visit that stupid again?” and she escaped a growl while she pointed her index finger at Carson.“No, he didn’t and even if he would have chosen to do it, that's not your problem. Who do you think you are to speak like that about our future king?”“I am his future wife and queen and I have all the reasons to speak how I want!”“Amber!” Pete Thompson yelled at her, but Carson took a few steps and looked at her and then at her father, and then he said with disgust.“Is this the way you will act when you will be a queen?” and he starts to laugh. “ A queen should be a humble leader, also she should be a clear communicator, and advocate for self-love and self-resi
