RYN
The tears did not stop falling even as I reached the storage room and slammed the door shut behind me. Then
I sank to the floor, hugging my knees to myself, as my heart broke into a million pieces. Why does this have to happen to me? Why do I always go through pain and torment? Should people like Bessie always win? Was I wrong for defending Sadie? My tears came harder and I had to cover my mouth to quiet my solss as they shook my body. Prince Theon and Prince Miro would be so disappointed
Where do I start from? Where do I begin to pick the pieces of my life? Being an Elite was my dream! It was the only plan that I had trained for years to
achieve Academics was another choice and I would have furthered my education but I had no one to sponsor me. My Alpha had made it clear to me the moment I started at Lycantide High that I was on my own and that he would no longer be responsible for me.
My debt to your parents has been paid. I owe them nothing! Those were my Alpha's words to me four years ago, before abandoning me on the steps of the boarding school with nothing but a little bag of clothes and a crushed hope. I didn't hate him then and I still don't hat I hate myself, for being so fucking cursed! Cursed to be alone for the rest of my life because everyone I love around me either gets hurt or dies
It's why my parents died. It's why I lost my best friend and most importantly, it's why I lost the sympathy and love of my pack. It's why I can never shift or let my wolf out ever again! Another sob escaped through my lips and I couldn't even be bothered to quiet it this time ar Tired of losing the things that are most important to me.
A knock sounded on the door behind me and 1 froze in response, immediately covering my mouth.
"Ryn!" A familiar voice called from the other side. "I know you're in there. I can smell you."
It took some seconds to recognize that voice as Sadie's and when 1 did. I wondered if I should keep pretending not to beContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
here.
"Please, open up Kyn' She knocked again. "I'm not leaving until you do."
"Please, go away" I said quietly, hoping she'd listen.
"I can't Sadie replied "This is all my fault and I want to fix it. Please just open the door."
I rolled my eyes and sighed before rising to my feet and unlocking the door. When I opened it, I found the five feet four girl staring up at me with sorrow in her eyes.
"I'm sorry" She said and I turned around and walked further into the room.
"Forget it. What's done is done." I said and began to shove item into my bag.
"Is this where you deep" Sadie asked with a note of disbelief in her tone.
stopped and looked around the small storage room, that could barely fit more than two people. "Yes."
Sadie blinked in surprise. "What? Why? For how long?"
I sighed as I continued to pack the little I had. "I have been sleeping here for the past three years, Sadie." "Gods! That's terrible! But WHY?

I sighed again, this time in frustration. "Does it matter?"
""Yes it does. To me, it does
I looked into her green eyes and found something familiar about them but I couldn't remember where I'd seen
eyes like hers. "From the moment I started going to go school here, I was picked on especially by Bessie." My throat constricted as I remembered the awful things that was done to me while schooling here. Things my body still carried the marks and bruises for. "She made janitor and his wife know I stay here."
"But that's not fair. Didn't you report them?"
1 laughed bitterly as I packed the rest of my stuff into my bag. "That's the first hard lesson I learnt here. I had them reported and I was told something would be done about it but nothing was done. Those same girls came back and beat me worse than before until I lost con I shook my head, squeezed past Sadie with my bag and took one last look at the storage room. I was supposed to leave here: with smiles on my face after graduation but I guess someone like me isn't destined to be happy. I left the room and began to walk down the hallw "Ryn wall I heard Sadie close the door and run to catch up with me. When I didn't stop for her, she cut before me and stood in my way. Eventually I had to stop..
"What do you want from me, Ginger?" I asked and Sadie smiled briefly.
"I think I can fix this. I just need you to give me time, okay?"
Time is a luxury I don't have. You heard the principal, he wants me out of here, today."
"He doesn't need to know."
I held a hand up to stop her. "Stop. Please, just stop. I know you feel responsible but when I tell you nothing can be done. you have to believe me. I've tried everything" I sniffled. everything and it still wasn't enough! So don't get involved."
With that said, exited the school building and started to walk out of school grounds.
"Wait!" Sadie's voice followed me again, making me groan out loud. Can't this girl just leave me alone?
I came to a stop and turned around to find Sadie stretching a piece of paper to me. "What is this?"
"It's my number. You should save it."
I stared at the paper before stretching it back to her. "I don't have a phone."
Her face fell. "Oh. Then how do I contact
you then?"
I gave her a bitter smile "You won't be able to. Once I get on a bays, this might be the last time we see each other."
Sadie grabbed my hand with both of hers, desperation shining
in her eyes. "Please, don't do that! Please don't disappear. I promise, I'll fix this! Just let me try" She took the paper and tucked it into my hand before closing it. "By this time. Tomorrow, please call me. Borrow a phone or use a payphone, whatever. Just promise you'd call I stared at her, seeing the sincerity in her eyes and nodded in reply..
Afterward, she escorted me to the nearest bus station and said her goodbyes. While I waited, I wondered about her. It was a shame that we hadn't met ealrier on. We would have been good friends but then again. I am cursed to be alone, I thought about Prince Theon an fights outside the program unless it was necessary.

The bus came and I was finally able to get in and take a seat. I had nowhere to go except home and home meant going bark to the pack that hated me. My hand flew to my pendant, as my heart began to hammer fast. It's been years since I last saw my Alpha, will I still be
