Beeping. Low, steady beeping.
Why did I smell chemicals?
I was trying to understand where I was, but my eyelids were too heavy to lift.
My hand rested upon my head. The throbbing was ever so present. It hurt to even think. The fatigue had finally set into my body, and even moving the slightest made me wince in pain.
Where was I?
I heard whispers in the dark. It sounded like two women were talking. I could barely make out what they were saying, and I didn’t recognize their voices.
“She isn’t good… No, I don’t think she can..”
“… she has to get better first… conceive…”
“… maybe there is a chance… Pregnancy…. I have a supplement that will help… It can carry…”
Who were they talking about? It sounded like a poor girl with tons of issues. May the moon goddess bless her, I thought. I hoped she got better soon.
I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on their conversation. Deciding to give them their privacy, I thought back on everything that had happened.
However, for a moment, my mind went completely blank. My head hurt again. I still could not open my eyes.
But then the memory slowly flowed back to me…
That’s right, I was… the daughter of the Alpha. After my mother passed away, I did everything I could to help take care of my pack and my father. I knew my life was difficult and not the life I should have had. But it was still mine.
A few small tears escaped my eyes thinking back to the promise I made so many years ago.
Mother made my father and me promise to look after each other. I had done everything I could to care for him over the years, but… it seemed that I was never able to do enough to please him, and he just hated who I was.
And then… and then he sold me.
I took a sharp breath and clenched my hands. My heart ached so much with that thought that I could not breathe for a few seconds.
How could he? I was his only blood-related child. His daughter. And he sold me to an Alpha with a ruthless reputation, one who could kill me at any moment.
My eyes snapped open, and fear flooded back into me.
