Lola's pov
Tonight, I have to leave tonight.
I sat down on my stone bed thi king about my life so far. Jasmine has been holding on for too long. I can't let her go through this anymore.
I used to be almost everyone's favorite in the pack until mom and dad passed I don't know what came over ant Nathalie and uncle Andrew Grayson’s mom and dad it's like they've been waiting for the opportunity to make me worthless they used to be very nice until they where not.
People that where not in the pack behore the incident did not know I am the daughter of the last alpha and luna. Everybody in the wolf world thought I was dead. That's what I heard.
I can't get raped I can't get my innocent taken away from me and by that vile bastard nonetheless I have to come up with a plan I don't care if I have to leave this fucked up pack before I am humiliated.
I have to eat this afternoon. I need the energy. If I am going to be running, that bastard is definitely going to send people after me, so I have to be in my wolf form.
Jasmine, are you there? I mindliked jas and she whimpered in response in my head I need you tonight girl I need you if I'm ever going to make it out alive I can't let him to this to me to us we have to fight our way out of this bondage we waited because we though we might find true love but it's over now jas we need to run I said to her pleasingly to Jasmine.
I don't know if I can do it for us Lola what if we get killed on sigh because of my fur color? What if he catches up to us? What if we don't make it out alive? I'm so weak, and I only ever shifted once I don't want to let you down. Lola Jasmine said weakly in my head, and fresh tears ran down my cheeks. we don't deserve any of this.
Jas we need to try girl there's a full moon out tonight I heard we get stronger when there's a full moon maby that will give us strength to propel forward but we can't stay here tonight we might find help in another pack anything but here Jasmine I said to her.
You're right. We've been taking this for too long it's time we break free and start over. We run tonight, Jasmine said in my head with new found determination.
Her words made me see rays of hope and new found determination I stood up and made my way to the pack kitchen to see if there's any food I can make do with till evening I need to eat to at least get enough energy to run.
I whent to the kitchen and there were slaves running around and cooking up a feast for Freya and Grayson’s coronation I was disappointed and was about to leave when I spotted Jane Jane is a elderly woman and she used to be our head cook she is the only one in the pack who doesn't treat me like I'm beneath her she can't be nice to me publicly though or she be punished.
She saw me as I was about to leave too and came to meet me in the hallway she hugged me with tears in her eyes and I hugged her back too she has always been like a grandmother to me.
She pulled me towards a dark corner of the hallway where she broke down in tears seeing my state she's not been to the pack in a while I guess she quit het job but why was she back tonight?she saw her mouth moving and tried to listen to her over her thought.
.....heard he rejected you and chose Freya anyway. I'm so sorry Lola, no one deserves to be treated like that by their mate she wisperd with tears running down her cheeks, and I hugged her again.
You look malnourished child do they ever feed you? I'm sorry I left without telling you I had to see my daughter in another pack she gave birth to her dirt child and I whent to see her she told me while looking me over my stomach chose that moment to grumble again I looked down in embarrassment.
Have you haf anything to eat today child?I shock my head negatieve and she told me she'd be back for me as she left I tried to make myself small and invisible to anyone passing I can't take anymore beating and assault today I need to be somewhat okay for me to be able to escape.
Jane soon come back with a paper bag in her hand she gave it to me and hugged me tightly after telling me to live well it was almost like she knew I was going away I thanked her and left for the basement again.
I could not eat a lot it was almost like my body was used for not being fed and rejected food I signed as I kept the paper bag I could not let anyone find it or I'd be punished.
I was waiting for night to fall and the coronation to start while praying to the moon godness to give me the energy and the luck to escape this vile land that has done nothing but cause me pain.
I shook in my seat when I heard footsteps coming down the basement. I looked up and saw one of the pack guards and slightly relaxed they're not as worse as the high ranking wolves.
It's time for the coronation, and alpha Grayson requires you to be near the ballroom his deep voice boomed making me jump in my seat I nodded my head he turned to leave and I followed after him I don't want to incure wrath on myself.
I followed him where the coronation was taking place it looked beautiful and magnificent. Beautiful flowers were used to create an arch in the doorway and was also chatterd across the room. People dress in white women in elegant gowns and men in fitting suits where chattered around the room chatting.
I stood ou in my dirty attire and unkempt apprence I knew Grayson brought me here to humiliate me and show me that I'd never be his luna because I'm below him people gave me thirty glances and some even curse me out but i kept my head down the whole time I stood to a side in the ballroom and made myself small.
The chatters in the room suddenly quiet down, and I looked up to see Grayson in a black suit that was perfectly tailored to suit him and Freya in a blood red gown with tight high slit that accentuated of all her curves.
She looked so good with her hair in waves that she let down to fame her beautiful face her make up looked minimal, and I could not even deny the fact that she looked stunning together they looked amazing and Jasmine howled in pain in my head seeing het mate with another she-wolf.
They made their way to the stage, and people started clapping, focusing all their attention on them. Grayson made eye contact with me and smirked evilly that gesture made me sick to my stomach because I knew what awaited me. If I don't escape before the coronation ends.
Everybody focused their attention on their future rulers, and I took that opportunity to sneak out the ballroom and out of the pack house the moon was high up in the sky en shine brightly almost like the moon goddess was making way for me.
I made my way to the end of the pack, avoiding patrol and guards. Security is not as tight as the pack boundary, and I sent a thanks to the moon goddess right before I morphed into my wolf. I said the words I should have said since the moment I knew he wasn't going to choose me.
Using my original title, I said those words I Lola Ashton, the daughter of alpha Ryan and luna Lilian of the moonlit pack, accept the rejection of Grayson Dawson son of Betha Andrew and female Betha Nathalie as his mate and chosen one I said and felt a surge of power through me at the same time I heard a wolf howling in pain in distance.
Jasmine took over my body, and I was a pure white wolf. I felt a new burst of energy coursing through my veins, then I ran, I ran with everything in me and never looked back.
