9. I was in the forest, naked and in pain. Physical and emotional pain. I wanted to die. I wanted to die for the first time in my life. What was the need of me being alive? My mother was dead. I didn't remember who I was and neither did anyone on the pack want me. The alpha's word was final and the fact that he said I was banished from the pack meant that none of her pack members would be willing to offer me help. But I couldn't walk naked in my condition and somehow, after the beating and the humiliation, I couldn't feel my wolf nor could I shift. Maybe she was as heartbroken as I was. I walked and walked and didn't know where I was going neither did I realise how much time had passed until dawn hit and that sharp cold of the morning hours in the forest hit me and made me shiver
