CHAPTER 26

Chapter 26

Sadie

I walked through the forest, feeling the effects of the full moon. Its power was around me, shifting like a caged animal. I could feel it inside me. On my skin and in my bones.

I’ve waited for this day since I knew who we were. What we turn Into. I’ve been waiting for this day since I knew what love was, Since I realized that I was in love with Alec.

Today was meant to mark a new day for me and those around me, especially Alec. Looking back, I don’t know if I would have been this excited if I knew what would happen before my first shift.

It’s been months since we left everything behind, and King joined us. Months since my torture and since I found out I was pregnant. Nothing much has happened except that we found a place to settle months after we left our home.

Just as nothing much has happened, nothing has changed in me. I still hated Alec and his damn pack. For the first time in my life, I wished the worst for someone. I wasn’t a mean person, nor was ! vengeful, but something shifted in me after being betrayed by people who I thought were my family.

Nowadays, I look into the mirror and barely recognize myself, not because of my non-existent hair, the scar on my face. or the ones on my back… But because when I stare in the mirror, all I see is a girl I don’t recognize..

y eyes were vacant. I no longer felt the light that used to shine from inside me when I looked in the mirror. It’s like a part of me died in that dirty cell where I was held captive for months. A certain coldness had encased my heart. My soul was marked by a kind of darkness I couldn’t escape.

“Sadie, is everything okay?” Raven’s voice penetrates the mist that surrounds me. The mist I kept getting lost because reality was sometimes too much for me.

“Yes,” I replied, then asked, “Can you please go back? I want to be alone before shifting.”

Her eyes looked worried, but I also know that she understands that I needed to do this alone.
