Blyke's POV:

You know, people who come into your life are either a blessing or a lesson. But Aspen is something more than a blessing, she's our saviour. When I was ordered to feed her, I felt this pull towards her, felt like I knew her even though I don't know her, felt the need to protect her but I failed to do that when Devan took her innocence. She gives me hope that there's a brighter future for the world we live in. She's that light at the end of the darkest tunnel.

I saw her scars that she's desperately trying to hide, I won't ask about them because I have my fair share of scars and I don't like talking about them. They disgust me.* Defile me.

My story is not your average broken girl in town, its own category.

Blyke Madelyn Fuller, never knew my parents. Raised in the orphanage till I was 12. I fended for myself till I was 16, I was am omega in Red Lake Pack, New York but got banished when one pack member caught me conjuring light spheres that I had absolutely no idea that I could do,they thought I was sent to destroy them because werewolves and witches aren't exactly besties. why? I also don't know...so yea* I became a rouge hybrid,part witch and part wolf till this mystery lady found me out cold on the streets of Brooklyn and took me in. Taught me everything I needed to know to survive, I found out that she was the Queen of hybrids, but sadly she didn't find her mate so when she died,she passed the title to her 2nd in command, Lara Peterson.  I went out to hunt in wolf form when I was suddenly surrounded by a group of wolves. I did my best to fight them off so I could return back home but they had me overpowered*,then something hit me on the back of the head and I woke up here..in this hellhole. I would get beaten by everyone here expect Natalie, the only female guard here. I was being starved for weeks sometimes months and when they gave me food,it was a dry loaf of bread and a cup of water,the cycle repeats then I got raped by Devan and few other guys around here. That's why I started to formulate my plan to break out of here,and I failed again and again because I kept getting caught and tortured repeatedly but with Aspen here, I got the hope that this time I can make it out of here

Finally the day of the blood moon arrives. It's a day that happens every 5 years to honour the innocent blood spilt by the evil of our world and the wolves renew themselves underneath it's glow as they thank the moon goddess for her gracious ruling on her species.

It calls to them like a siren does to a sailor..

It's a long way till the blood moon begins,so I began doing the chores, why? I'm the only maid here! Time passed fast when I was done with everything,it was 12:23.* We couldn't do any on day preparation because everyone would be busier than ever to prepare for today's celebration. I stayed in my cell for about hours till Natalie came in with bags.

"Hey" I whispered

She smiled at me

"It's now or never" she said.

We decided to change in Aspen's cell because it was closer to the back door but further away from the fields where everyone gather for the blood moon.* I unchained Aspen and tossed her a grey and white hoodie with black sweatpants and some trainers while Natalie dressed in a beige hoodie and sweatpants and trainers and I  dressed in grey sweater dress with trainers.

We went with comfort because we needed to run for a while before shifting.

We tiptoed out of her cell, checking the coast for anyone,once clear we walked out the back door into the darkness away from the moon's light.*

"Alright. This is it!" I said softly

"Yep, freedom here we come" Natalie squealed

We ran for our lives

The thing about the blood moon,is that once you look at it, you focus on it solely. Your senses are dulled and attention is limited to the moon Only.

So as we ran,they can't hear our feet crunching the dried up sticks and leaves. Our heavy breathing is the only thing that fills the silent eerie night.* Luckily today is windy, even if the spell I casted to hide our scent wears off, the wind makes it hard for us to be tracked. We made it to a river,drank up to quench our thirst after making sure no one followed us. We sat down to catch our breath and fuel up with some granola bars that I stole from the kitchen. *

"From here, it's a 2 hour run to the pack south from here. If we run fast enough we can make it before the blood moon is over" I informed

"Okay. Let's get a move on" Aspen chimed

We each found our own trees, taking off our clothes so we can shift and change before entering thier borders. Once we shifted, which was painful for me, I haven't shifted in a long time. I was a sandy brown wolf with a white paws.* I howled to let them know that we leave now. They howled back as a response. There was still light from the sunset so we could still see each other.

W

e may not have that much energy but I have faith in the moon goddess that we will make it.*

2 hours later

We are close to our freedom,we could basically taste it.

We slowed down our pace as we saw the shimmering pack borders that secure our freedom.

I'm finally free

No guards were around on the south border, and I couldn't smell anyone. I stopped and turned to look at Natalie and Aspen behind me, signalling with my snout towards the tress,we shifted and changed,met up a few feet away from the borders*

"Finally, I'm free!" I exclaimed

"Feels great to feel the wind kiss my skin" Aspen muttered

"Let's go secure our freedom, girls!" Natalie said

20 steps. That's all it took for us to enter into a new life. Freedom. A new home.

But I should have known that it was way too good to be true

A/N: thoughts on the chapter?

I know that their escape was too easy and you expect them to be caught along the way but I thought let me give Aspen a break from all the bad
