In every person's life, there is always a period of time when everything that he used to believe in changes. A hero becomes a coward. Things within your reach becomes so far away. A time when everything in this world seems to go against you. I think I'm going through that unfaithful phase now. It's been a day since I was found unconscious in the woods and I don't even know for how long I've passed out. I'm not the person I used to be anymore. A person who knows no weakness, no mistakes, no failure, no fear, no mercy. I control every element in this place but now I'm being controlled by the whole world. I've been sitting in my room busy trying to deny the fact that I was the one found unconscious and that for some reason that I don't know exactly. I hear someone knocking at the door. They have been knocking like that since morning and I didn't let anyone of them in. I don't want them to see their Alpha in this condition, so weak, so pathetic. Oh! I hate to even talk about it. I've also blocked all of them out of my head. I've prevented them from reaching out to me using the mind link.
"Come in" I finally say.
Thank goodness I decided to get up and take a shower earlier, if not, I would look like a mad man in front of my Beta.
"What is it?" I ask him angrily.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you Sir but I'm here to talk to you about your trip tomorrow" he stops but I sense that there's more that he wants to say.
"Go ahead" I say.
"Since you won't listen to me and stay here, I've picked up some of the best guards from all sectors, should I call them in or are you coming out to inspect them?" he asks and I can literally feel the anger in his voice.
"Do whatever you think is right,I'm not in a mood to see anybody today" I answer.
"If it were up to me, I'd even tie you up so as to make sure you don't go anywhere but I'll make sure that everything that you need will be ready by tomorrow" he says and let's a smirk occupy his still angry face.
"Don't you...",
" I'm not dumb enough to do that now, you'll see what I'm talking about by tomorrow since you put me in charge" he says.
Before I could even talk back to him, he walked out of the room. I know he really cares about me but this journey I'm about to embark on is important too. It'll determine the faith of my pack as well as their future.

I gently start to open my eyes which are as heavy as a rock. The place is all covered in white. Wait a minute, am I still in that heavenly place. The only difference is that now I feel pain circulating all over my body. Well, I guess I'm really dead. For a minute there, I thought that woman was talking about my family when she said they've all been waiting. I try to sit up but it feels like I'm being restricted by something. I keep trying to get up but I couldn't even move a muscle.
"Let's check on her now" I hear a voice not far away from me.
Thank goodness the angels have decided to come check up on me. A door which I cannot see opens up and hear some footsteps as if someone's coming. I want to get up and have a quick glance of the angels but I still can't even move an inch. Slowly, I hear the footsteps getting closer and closer. The first thing I see is a white piece of cloth, then a face covers with mask comes to my view. Holy crap! I've never thought that angels would be dressed like doctors. If I were alive, I would have decided to be a doctor just to dress like an angel.
"Oh my God! She is awake" she says and turns to leave the room.
Awake?, Who's awake?, does she mean me?, are you supposed to be asleep or something when the angels come to take you?.
Oh God! I hope they won't take me to hell for waking up before time. I try to call her and beg her forgiveness but I try to say something earlier and nothing came out. So I just closed my eyes and pretend to be unconscious again and hoping that they will not find out.
"Look she's finally awake" the angel woman from earlier says and I can hear more foot steps approaching now.
I want to take a peek of them but I'm afraid that they'll see me and throw me to hell.
"Come on, I'm serious I saw her eyes open when I came in to check on her" she says to the others I guess.
"Katrina!" I hear my mom's voice calling me.
Nice try, but I won't fall for their tricks and end up in hell.
"Katrina, my Darling" I hear my father's voice this time.
Their voices seems so real and close but I know it's all in my hallucinations. I hear someone sobbing. Who would have thought that angels cry too. I keep reminding myself not to open my eyes or else I'll regret it. Slowly, I feel something climbing onto my body till it reaches my face. It feels like something covered in furs. It reminds me of star light. Oh poor star light! Now she'll be lonely without me besides her. I pray that some nice and understanding people will find her.
"Hey open your eyes, I know you're awake" the thing on my face says and her voice sounds exactly like star light's.
I can't, I just can't do it anymore. I'm surrounded with angels and they all have the voices of the people I love, they should take me to hell if they wanna. I gently start to open my eyes and the first thing that comes to my view is star light's face. Wait a minute, not only do they have the same voices as them, I think they also look alike.
"Thank Goodness, you finally open up" she says.
I try to answer her but something obstruct me.
"She's really awake" I hear my mom's voice and then she appears in my view.
I try to get up but it feels like I'm tied up or something. I just smile since there's nothing I can say right now. My father comes and stands besides me. I can see that he's trying to hide the tears in his eyes from falling.
"My Darling, welcome back" he says and holds my left hand.
The touch feels so real. That means I'm alive. I'm alive!!! Even though I didn't know what exactly happened before I ended up here, I'm certain it is capable of sending me to the grave. But I'm really happy to be alive. I thought that I'd never see my parents again. My mom reaches out to remove something from my face but the doctor whom I've assumed to be an angel speaks.
"No ma'am, we can't remove her nebulizer just yet, she's still having difficulty breathing" she warns.
Ah! That's what has been preventing me from talking. My mom nods her head in agreement.
"I'm really sorry but you have let her have some sleep now, you can meet her later, she needs to regain her strength" the doctor says.
"OK doctor" my father says.
He reaches out to pick up star light from my bed but I stop him with my hand.
"You can let the cat stay" the doctor says.
They all walk out of the room after the doctor has injected me with what I believe is a sedative because I'm starting to feel sleepy.
"I'm glad to have you back" star light says and licks my hand.
I just nod my head to her as an answer before I doze off again.
