Bloom

Saying Goodbye

McKenna

(Present)

It's done, the bond with my pack is destroyed and I would be lying if I said it was a walk in the park. It actually hurt like hell. I've only heard from my parents what their experiences were like, but they didn't have it as bad because they were only transferred to a new pack. I'm quite certain that my experience felt different than what they explained.

Even if it hurt it kind of made me feel alive, almost like you need to die to be reborn again. Something inside me welcomed the pain. I welcomed the darkness and pain as it consumed me.

It doesn't sound good so I won't tell anyone.

I need to pull myself together...

I got up fixed my dress and decided that I would like to leave now, but not after I said a few words. This is my pack and my family. I might have been invisible for most of my life but they were there at times, and for that I am still thankful.

As I stood up and fixed my dress I cleared my throat and decided to talk. "I would like to thank my pack for all the support that was shown to me in my time living with you." I said as I glanced around the room. Happy with my statement I now looked at my mother and father. "Alpha... Luna... You should know that I am not mad, unfortunately this is how it was supposed to be and I know the Moon Goddess has her own plans with me." suddenly I didn't feel as confident anymore. "Or maybe she doesn't, maybe I am just in the way of something bigger..." I chuckled to myself, looking down at my hands. I might have lost my confidence but there must be something, anything... I just honestly hope she does have bigger and better plans for me otherwise I'm screwed.

I noticed Alpha Azeo frowning but I just ignored him, I don't have time for him anymore. He has only insulted and belittled me since day one. The man doesn't even know me for Moon Goddesses sake! It is actually his fault, if he had some sort of heart he would have given me a small place in his pack. I know I can't really be mad at him because it wasn't him that didn't give me any abilities... But still... It feels better blaming someone else and not myself. He is just an attractive arrogant ass!

And with my small pathetic speech still dangling in the air I turned around and walked away. I felt like crying but didn't want them to see me cry.

Since I am rogue now I need to get out of here. The guards will smell me, apparently rogues smell different. I know the guards from my own pack or rather old pack won't hurt me but warriors from the other packs might.

I quickly walked out of the area where the function was held, picked up my back pack where the other bags were placed and headed towards the border. As I walked I heard my mother through our communication line created by the necklace. 'McKenna, honey, just wait by the border for me.' Is she out of her mind? The guards will kill me. 'Mom I can't they will smell me and kill me, you know that?!'

'Honey you don't smell like the other rogues, you have no scent at all, I don't know why and I don't know if anyone else picked up on this but I need to give you a proper goodbye.' I heard my mother say.

'Okay, I will wait in the woods on the hill by the border, there where we always said we should meet if we had an attack.' I replied back to my mother.

'Okay honey, even with no scent still keep yourself hidden please?' my mom replied. 'I will mom, see you soon' I replied back.

I quickly made my way to the hill, making sure I stay in the shadows so that no one sees me. I can feel my heart rate picking up, this is so exciting, I wonder if this is what I will feel like every day of my life from now on. McKenna against the world, nothing can stop me now. At least I don't smell like them so I can easily blend in.

I got to the hill and decided to wait in the shadows. 'McKenna honey something is wrong.' I heard my mother through the link. 'You have to hide.' She said again. As she said that I started hearing leafes in the forest. It still sounds quite far so whoever or whatever it is I am certain I haven't been seen yet. I quickly decided to climb up the tree and hide in between the branches and leafes.

Luckily I am good at climbing trees. Who would have thought that being good at climbing trees would be a life skill for me.

Okay yes, something is definitely off...

What the hell is going on, I can hear leafes but that is it, nothing else. I try to see who or what it is but can't see anything. The party is still on in the distance but I see some warriors quickly running to the borders, all of them changing in to wolf form.

Something is definitely wrong.. And then I see them, I don't know who they are but it is a lot of wolfes. Stalking the unsuspecting guests at the party. It doesn't look like they can sense me. So hopefully mom was right. I wish I could do something but who am I?Just a weakling. I will have to sit and watch.

This was going to be a bloodbath.. And I can't do anything to help them. My family, my pack, my friends...
