Celestial's Point of View
"Celest, can I come in?" Aunt Grace asked. I was lying on my bed thinking about everything Braiden had told me. Why would Alpha Michael send Braiden here to bring me back? He must have been up to something. He never liked me. That was why he kicked me out of the pack. He told me I was weak.
"Yes," I replied, and Aunt Grace walked into the room.
"How are you doing?" Aunt Grace asked, and I sighed.
"I don't want to go back there," I said as I looked at the wall. Tears had started escaping my eyes. I never wanted to go back to the Full Moon Pack. Everyone hated me. I had no friends there. My mom mistreated me. She blamed me for how her life turned out. She blamed me for my dad leaving; ever since I was a little pup, she would tell me that my dad left because he didn't want me. She always told me I was nothing but a burden. I had no one.
"I know, Honey, but we don't have a choice," Aunt Grace said as she sat beside me on the bed. I knew she was right. I would have to go back to the Full Moon Pack because Alpha Michael wanted me back. He was still my Alpha. When Alpha Thomas from the Half Moon Pack asked if he could make me a part of the pack, Alpha Michael told him no. I knew it was because he wanted to make me suffer. I never understood why he hated me but he did.
"I am going to miss you Aunt Grace," I said and I sat up on the bed and hugged her tightly
"I will miss you too, Honey. Hey don't be sad. Everything is going to be okay. Don't forget Chrismas is coming. You know that magical things always happen around Christmas," Aunt Grace said as she hugged me back. After about a minute we pulled out of the hug. "We should start packing your things. They will be back here in the morning to pick you up," Aunt Grace said and we started packing.
Monica came to the room and helped me pack. "I don't want you to go. I can't believe that Alpha would make you go back there. Especially after everything he and his son did to you," Monica said. Monica was the only one I told about my past. She was the only person who knew what happened to me.
"I don't want to go either. I hate that I have to go back. I wish I could just run away but I don't want to make Aunt Grace worry," I said
"Do you think he had something to do with it?" Monica asked and I immediatly knew who she was talking about
"I don't think so. He hates me," I said
"I have a good idea. Why don't I go back to the Full Moon Pack with you?" Monica said and I looked at her with a shocked expression on my face.
"I can't let you do that, Monica. You know how they treated me at the Full Moon Pack. I don't want you being mistreated as well and if you move there and are nice to me then you will be a target. Besides, I am sure Alpha Thomas wouldn't let you go back with me anyway. Alpha Michael wouldn't let you come either if he knew you were my friend ," I said
"I already asked Alpha Thomas and he said it would be okay. He contacted the Alpha of the Full Moon Pack and he said it would be fine," Monica said, which shocked me. I didn't understand why Alpha Michael would let her come with me.
"What about your parents?" I asked
"You know they don't care if I go with you. They are barely at home anyway," Monica said. I could hear the sadness in her voice. Monica's parents weren't cruel to her or anything. They just worked all of the time and I knew that hurt Monica because they never spent time with her. "Listen, I know you are worried that I will get hurt but I am not afraid of them and you shouldn't be either. You are not the same scared girl you were that came here a eight months ago. You need to show them that and I will be there with you to do that," Monica said and I knew she was right. I wasn't that same weak little girl that left. I am so much stronger now.
"Thanks, Monica. I needed to hear that," I said
"Anytime," Monica said.

The Next Morning
"I am going to miss the both of you. I promise I will come and visit you soon," Aunt Grace said as she hugged Monica and then me
"I will miss you too, Aunt Grace," I said
"So will I. You make the best food," Monica said. We were standing outside the house, while Braiden and the warriors put our bags in the back of one of the BMW's. Alpha Thomas had just left after saying goodbye to Monica and me.
"Your belongings are already in the trunk. Are you ready to go?" Braiden asked me
"I guess," I replied. I hugged Aunt Grace one more time, and Monica and I got into the BMW. The ride back to the Full Moon Pack took over five hours. We had stopped a few times for gas, to use the restroom, and to get something to eat.
When we arrived at the Giant Gold Gate that read The Full Moon Pack I was nervous. The gate opened and Braiden drove through and went straight to the Packhouse. Once Braiden parked we got out of the vehicle. "The Alpha wants to see you now," Braiden said and we walked into the packhouse.
Everyone's eyes went to Monica and me but no one said anything which shocked me. I thought they would be making smart comments about me as I walked passed but they said nothing.
Braiden knocked on the Alphas office door before walking inside. "She is here," Braiden said and he gestured for us to walk inside. I took a deep breath before Monica and I walked into the office and I was shocked at who I saw inside. It wasn't Alpha Michael, it was his son, Mason. I was more shocked at what he said next
"Hello Mate!"
I didn't know what to do so I did the only thing that made sense. I ran!
