I walked out of my room with the little box I had packed. I had finally decided to go into exile than stay here and be a toy in the hands of Lucas and his accomplices. I couldn't wait for the Alpha to ask me out, I had to go on my own.After the discussion I had with my mother yesterday, I knew there was no hope for me in this Palace. How was I supposed to stay silent with everything going wrong in my life? Lucas was about to make me his slave in the name of his wife and no one saw anything wrong with it.“After all, you guys aren't related.” Everyone said to me like it was some sort of acceptable.I knew I was going to lose the comfort I enjoyed as a Princess of the Royal house but I was willing to take that risk as far as I had my freedom. My father's inheritance was taken away from him by this Royal Palace, I just needed who it was that ordered the death of my father. Was it Lucas or Alpha-king Magnus? Who was it that made a helpless 8 year old fatherless?I was angry that I was

Little did I know that my true journey had begun. I was leaving Ice crest wolf pack, all by myself and for the first time ever. It was overwhelming to think that I had finally left Lucas behind me.He was all in the past and I needed to think about my future. The life I wanted to Iive from henceforth didn't require any distractions from my past. I wanted to find out my legacy, I wanted to know how my father died and what really happened. Was he murdered or killed?I had been walking for hours now and looking around, there was no village or clan nearby. For a minute, I regretted not accepting Alpha-king Magnus' offer. It didn't make sense to me anymore so I had to sit for a while.I prayed and hoped that I wouldn't encounter any strange creature in this strange place where I had found myself.“Please send me a helper, o moon goddess.” I prayed desperately, hoping she would hear me. I looked around to see if there was something I could eat but I didn't find a thing. I was surrounded by

“Naomi, wake up. Wake up.” I heard a familiar voice calling out to me.I yarned and stretched but still didn’t get up.“Naomi, wake up. Wake up.” The voice said again.I opened my eyes and for the few first seconds I thought I would open my eyes to my beautiful room at the Palace where I was served breakfast by 7 am.“Where's this place?” I asked immediately I saw the tattered roof and the small bed where I had slept. In that moment, everything that happened yesterday played out in my head.“Oh.” I said in realization. Then, I looked up to see Laura. “Good morning.” I greeted her.“Good morning, Naomi. You are late. Wake up and prepare to meet the Alpha. You can't keep the Alpha waiting.” She reied me in a haste.I stumbled as I was in a haste to stand. I had overslept because I was so tired yesterday. “Where can I shower?” I asked Laura.“I don't think you have the time to do that. You have no time take a bath. Put on some nice clothes and be on your way.”It was weird for me. I had

It's been a week since I had arrived at the Stormclaw clan and I was getting a hang of how things were done here. I and Laura had become the best of friends and Mascot now spent more of his time with me. It was like we had a connection.I was now a full member of the Stormclaw clan and I was glad about that. I met new friends and joined the hunting team. I also engaged in rituals that were held. I joined Laura and the other women at the training session where we learn to defend ourselves in case of emergency.My next move was to find Geston, the wise man in the community. I still didn't want anyone finding out what I was up to so I needed to move in secret.In the evenings I set out to the inner village where I heard he lived. The roads were twisted and unpredicted but I had to keep up because I had a goal.One of those days I set out once again to find out where the man lived, I continued walking, trying to follow the instructions Laura had given to me. She had mentioned that I woul

The festival of fire was successful and fun.Everyone was allowed to play fun games and make new friends. Laura introduced me to some of her friends who had lived in this clan all their lives. They were all nice to me.I had adapted to this type of life where unlike my life in the Palace, I had to wake up very early and most times it was not voluntarily. Here, I had to go hunting with the men to hunt for food even though women didn't ordinarily go hunting.It all happened because I had the skills and so I went hunting with the men. The king had me in great esteem and called me special. I didn't know if going hunting as a woman was special but I did know that I enjoyed being here and never regretted it for one day.The king believed that I had brought favor upon the clan and that the town would prosper because I was here. I didn't know why he said those words but he believed them so I might as well.The people of Stormclaw were my family now and I wouldn't let anything hurt them, not i
