My father sat beside me, and pulled me into his arms.

He hugged me until I melted into his body, and began to cry.

Up until this moment, I had questioned his love for me.

Never in the presence of another, but only deep in my heart.

Right now, I was just glad I could hug him again.

“What did that bastard do to you?” He pulled me away, just to observe me. “Why do you look so emaciated? Did he lock you up? Starve you? I’ll kill him!” he said, all without giving me any chance to respond.

“Father, it’s not like that, I said with tears in my eyes.

“I have eyes, my gorgeous girl,” he stroked my cheeks. “You’re not the girl he kidnapped,” he said.

“But

“No buts. All I need is for you to rest. You’re home now, and you’ll never leave my sight again.”

“But father—”

He had already risen to his feet before I could get another word

He clapped, and the door opened. One after the other, familiar faces began to troop in.

These were my maids, and majorly the servants that waited on me

“My daughter has returned home, and you’re to return to your duties starting now. Whatever she wants, she gets. By her sparkling. Understood?”

They all nodded in unison as my father dished our orders.

All I could think of was Ramon, Ivy, and bloodmoon.

By the morning tomorrow, I want

It was crazy because I dreamt of returning to m

here in the first place.

“Father, I need to talk to you in private,” I said desperately,

He walked up to me, and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.

“Well talk, princess. But first, you have to look like you again”

He rose to his feet, and walked out of the room

1 felt naked in the presence of my old companions, despite being clothed..

As much of a prisoner as I was in bloodmoon, being in this room again made me remember what it was like to be a real prisoner.

“Do you want something, princess?” Lydia, my close maid asked

“I just want to be left alone,” I replied, burying myself into my bed.

I waited, and relaxed when footsteps began to fade away.

“Everyone’s gone now. You can talk to me,” I heard Lydia say.

I straightened up and hugged her tightly.

As I hugged her, she held onto me as if I was fragile glass. 1/3

“Your changed a lot,” she said after we pulled away.

“How!” Lasked in a crackeil, broken voice

“Oh don’t cry. Why do you keep crying?” She asked, wiping off the tears that rolled down my face with her fingers.

“I don’t know, Lydia. I thought I would be cestatie about returning home, but it’s been so overwhelming. I don’t know how to feel. I’m questioning everything,” I cried out my heart to her.

“Don’t be this way, princess. I think you just need time to adapt again. Or do you miss bloodmoon that much?”

“I don’t know, Lydia, I don’t know how I got here. I don’t know if they’re in trouble in bloodmoon. I don’t know anything, Andi hate not knowing

“Alright, I need you to calm down, and breathe with me, okay?”

I nodded my head, and followed her and we practiced some breathing exercises.

Helt myself calming from within, and soon, it reflected outwardly too.

She suddenly stopped, and stared at me with a weird expression on her face.

“What is it?” I asked, worry in my voice.

“There’s something different about you. At first, I thought it’s because you look skinnier. But that’s not it. It’s your wolf. I can’t feel her. What happened to your wolf, Sonia?” She asked.

1 sighed tiredly, because I had the same question. What happened to my wolf?

“I don’t know, Lydia. I had a death scare and when I finally woke up, she was gone. I still get glimpses of her, but she refuses to stay longer than a few seconds,” I explained as best as I could.

“You poor thing,” she patted my head gently. “You’ve gone through a lot, haven’t you? Was it hard?”

“At first, yes. It got better though. I made a friend. She’s a maid. Very pretty, and helpful. I owe her my life.”

I smiled as I talked about Ivy. She would check on me later, and discover I wasn’t in the room anymore. I wasn’t even in the pack

It made me wonder how she’d react. She’d go to Ramon first of course.

“You sweet thing. You’ve always had a soft spot for us maids,” Lydia said.

“Anything for you, princess,” she replied.

“I don’t know what the future holds. Hell, I don’t even know what is going to happen tomorrow. But as long as I’m here, I can’t live the way I lived before. I just can’t do it Promise you won’t force me to live that way!”

I knew it was basically asking her to go against the alpha’s riders. It was asking her to step on my father’s tails. But I didn’t have a choice.

I could only rebel if I had someone by my side.

“You really grew up didn’t you? I heard he’s your
