Chapter 8
Finally, the ringing and beeping stopped.
I stared out the window of the plane after settling in my seat.
I was leaving everything behind to start a new life.
I made sure that Blake couldn’t find me in
case he wanted to take revenge on me.
My father would probably not regret his decision to kick me out.
The two of them would never make
sacrifices for me.
They used to be the most important werewolves in my life, but from now on, they would never be part of my life again.
Sleep washed over me and I dreamt of Blake haunting me down and taking his
revenge on me.
Despite the dream, I wasn’t worried or

scared. I actually felt relieved that I was leaving Blake and I knew that he couldn’t find me.
As I climbed down the plane’s stairs, I saw Gina waiting for me though the glass doors of the airport.
She didn’t see me, so I walked over and when she noticed me, she raced over.
Her mouth dropped open when she saw my pale skin and cuts on my arms that were still healing since glass was harmful to werewolves.
She looked worried as she asked, “Are you sick? Did you get hurt? Why do your arms have cuts that aren’t healing? Why do you look so pale and thin?”
“I left less than a year ago, yet I didn’t know it was you at first. Did Blake do this to you?” She asked as she caressed the cuts.
on my arms as a pained expression showed on her face.
I took hold of her hand and gave it a

comforting squeeze as I said, “Don’t worry, I’m not in pain. Besides, it’s now behind us.”
However, my heart was still in pain.
I have finally come to realize that Gina has been my rock throughout my life. The rest of the people around me saw me as ridiculous.
She was the only one that asked about my wellbeing.
Lost in thought, Gina held my hand tightly and gave it a warm squeeze as she smiled at me. I felt glad to have her by my side.
Gina pulled me to her car and we drove to her house. She explained what my duties would be for each of the positions that I was offered.
As we sat down, she said, “Well done on knowing when to walk away, Amber. Even though you’ve wasted your time on Blake, you still have more time. You have so much you can accomplish instead of being

Blake’s slave.”
I stared at my wounded arms and remembered how Hailey’s hands looked soft and beautiful in the video as the
diamond bracelet accentuated her arm’s perfection.
She lived a life where she never had to
work a day in her life while I had to clean. and take care of the chickens all my life at the same time catering to Blake’s every
request.
He had to have everything sparkling clean. He made me do the dishes immediately. So I had to wash dishes every time a pack member finished eating, leaving whatever I was doing.
However, Blake and Hailey always used the dishes again right I washed them, making a mess of them.
Before I could wash their dishes, he would start cursing me out and saying that I was lazy and filthy, and that I couldn’t do

something so easy.
I had the worst days of my life with him.
When Gina noticed that I went quiet, she smiled at me as she said, “Let’s put the past behind us.”
“Okay.” I replied as I smiled back at her.
We must be our own heroes. From the depths, I rose stronger and unbroken. Never would I let anything tear me down. So I studied hard for my interview with my new Alpha.
