One mention of my father’s name and they already know who and what I am. And if they don’t whisper and gossip about me then they are trying to get close to me for personal gains, the cycle is exhausting.” I said, curling up on my bed and facing my window, watching the sun slowly set.
Lila remained quiet for a long time but I refused to turn towards her, she spoke again after a while.
“Well, what if I told you that there’s a pack you could go to where no one would know who you are, unless you told them.” Lila insisted and I sighed heavily, I wasn’t sure what she was hoping to achieve with this, but I really didn’t appreciate the false hope.
“Listen to me Jessy. I’m not joking about this, you know how I’ve had to travel so much in these last couple of months. I really didn’t want to mention this until I was a hundred percent sure about everything and about where I stood but I met this man three months ago on one of my trips, turns out he’s the Alpha of a newly established pack far away from here, the pack mostly accepts the rogues, the unfit and the ones who don’t belong.” Lila said and I sat up quickly on my bed now interested in what she had to say.
“How come I’ve never heard of this pack before? Every pack has to go through a list of approval from my father and then there’s a feast of the Alphas which happens every year and every Alpha has to attend. I don’t see how this is possible. What’s this Alpha’s name?” I asked, genuinely confused and skeptical.
“Arthur. He created his own pack and cut it from the rest of the world because he didn’t want himself or his people to have to be under laws that have had flaws since their very beginnings. No offense to your father. I’m only telling you about this because I’m sure it’s what you need at the moment, I can tell you’re not happy here Jess, and it breaks my heart watching you fall apart piece by piece the longer you stay here.
I can’t guarantee that you’ll find happiness in Arthur’s pack, but I swear that you’ll fit in. You’ll find people like yourself, people who understand you, people who wouldn’t try to discriminate you because you don’t fit their definition of normal and I think that might be exactly what you need at this point in your life.” Lila concluded.
She was right. That was exactly what I needed, but it sounded too good to be true. All I have known is the protection and care from underneath my father’s wing, even when the rest of the world seemed to be against me. Would I be able to survive it if I dropped that? In my heart, I knew that I wanted to move, but was I ready for it? Especially moving to somewhere so uncertain?
“Just think about it and talk to your parents about it, they really don’t have to know where you’re going, you know they’re just going to track you down eventually and that’s not what you need right now and that could also cause certain problems for Arthur. Talk to your parents about moving and I’ll talk to Arthur about letting you stay without revealing your true identity to him. What do you think?” She asked and I nodded in response.
“I’ll do that. Thank you so much for the offer, I appreciate it more than you know.” I said, inching closer to her and wrapping my arms around her in a hug.
“Girls, come down for dinner!” My mother shouted from downstairs and Lila and I shared a laugh.
I rushed into the bathroom to wash my face before coming out and heading downstairs, before my mother came up here to pull me down herself. The woman was really small, but her strength was unmatched.
Lila’s words kept playing in my head as I made my way down the stairs and the more I considered the option, the more beautiful it sounded. It really was what I needed. All I needed to do was convince my parents to let me leave and that would
be it.
Viola! New life!
