Chapter 227

Saying goodbye to Theo and Jessa, I raced to the packhouse.
“Of course, Kate can move into Cresent Moon pack with her mate Tim.‘ The moment I walked into the packhouse, I heard Alpha Phillip happily. permit Kate to leave with her mate.
Kate rejoiced at the great news, arm in arm with the man standing by.
Knowing my sister was fine, I sighed out of great relief.
“Wait, you’ve found your mate?” With a questioning gaze, I mindlinked
Kate.
Kate turned to me, nodding. Her face blushed with sparkles in her eyes
“Thank you, Alpha Phillip.” Father bowed. He gestured for me to come over and added, “And Ayla is intended to go to the royal ball. Would you mind she moving to the White Oak pack after that?”
Alpha Phillip thought Father’s words over and looked at me. My heart skipped a beat under his intimidating gaze.

Finally, he shrugged his shoulder and broke the silence. “Honestly, I have no issues with Ayla going to the royal ball. But we all know the likelihood that the Prince will choose her as the Luna of all Luna’s is
extremely small…”
Just like his favor for members of the pack going to live in another pack to form an alliance, Alpha Phillip was very interested in the prospect of one of the pack’s unmated she–wolves becoming a chosen mate to the royal family as well. For him, it would be the ideal alliance, though he deemed me unworthy of being the future queen. He didn’t even try to hide his disbelief..
“But tell me how it would benefit our pack if Ayla was not to return to us after the ball?” Alpha Phillip questioned Dad’s words bluntly. “There is already an alliance between the BloodMoon and White Oak.”
That was the problem. Alpha Phillip would never let pack members move to another pack if it didn’t benefit him. In most cases, forming or strengthening an alliance would suffice. But I wasn’t about to move to my mate’s pack. I was about to move to family, so no new relationships were built.
“Alpha Phillip, some pack members were laughing at Ayla after David rejected her.” Dad tried to reason with him. “It’s hard to see my daughter suffering.”
“And how would the future Luna feel if she noticed that David’s fated mate was still living in the pack?” Dad added.

“No worries. My son has already made the greatest sacrifice known to wolves. He has selected Hannah as his chosen mate. Hannah is a fine she–wolf, strong, poised, graceful, and kind. She will treat Ayla exactly like she has been doing ever since the rejection.” Alpha Phillip told us like he was reassuring a toddler that there were no monsters under the bed.
Was he that unaware of what was happening right under his nose or was he that uncaring? Hannah had always been jealous of my friendship with David. She claimed David was her mate and seeing David hanging around me made her crazy. She kept making troubles for me. Hearing. David reject me thrilled her. She rejected her mate, an Omega, a sweet guy, instantly and was determined to be the pack’s Luna. She started to try and hit it off with David. The fact that I was David’s fated mate was enough for her to bully me with her minions.
Not screaming about everything Hannah and her flying monkeys had done to me so far was already taking all of my self–control, Willow was, already itching to take over control. I knew I shouldn’t.
I had been enduring the bullying, the beating, and the abuse for two years. Now so close to escaping was not the time to mess it all up.
Easier said than done when David smirked at me, licking his lips before addressing his father like a good little Alpha in training.
“Can I give my opinion, Father?” He asked politely, and of course, Daddy dearest let him.

His pride over his son starting to pick up Alpha duties was all over hist face.
With an evil smile, David started talking again.
“I do think the Hemmings put too much weight on my decision to reject Ayla. Every wolf with a sense of self–preservation would want a more suitable Luna. Pack members applauded me for the sacrifice I made in recognizing the Moon Goddess‘ only fault. Many seemed to thank for the mate bonds between me and Hannah.”
Right away, the air was thick with tension. Mom and Dad stiffened at the insult. His blatant disregard for me, my wishes, and the matebond we once shared set everyone off.
“I guess she is allowed to stop by the White Oak before going the to royal ball then…” Dad pled. I knew there was nothing else he could do.
Alpha Phillip smirked. “Make sure Ayla comes back home after that.”
Father’s silent and quick acceptance of my fate hurt me.
“What’s the point of going to the royal ball if I can’t go to White Oak and get away from all these forever?” I murmured to myself in desperation and anger.

Yet Alpha Phillip sat there with a straight face telling me I was the she- wolf who made troubles to the pack.
My anger was taking over, and I needed to get these emotions out before they would get the better of me. Willow hadn’t stopped fighting to take control and it would be better to shift when I was still in control. My wolf tended to react more primal and I had no doubt she would go over to David and fight him the second I was no longer in control.
Too upset with my parents, I mindlinked Kate where I was going, so that my family would not worry about me. Then, I walked out into the forest, to one of the empty tree trunks where we could keep our clothes after shifting.
After checking no one was there, I shifted into my wolf form and just took off running. I’ve always loved running and it was the one thing I was better in because of my size. Being small made me faster and a lot more agile. I could outrun every wolf in my pack and most in the White Oak pack too.
The feeling of the wind rushing through my fair, the whizzing in my cars drowning all the other sounds out always made me feel peaceful. Feeling peaceful, calming down, and collecting myself was exactly what I needed now. The first few minutes it felt like someone was watching me. Once I got deeper into the forest, the feeling faded. It must have been my illusion.
Sun was already setting. I had ignored every single family member that

reached out to me over the mindlink. Now my limbs were aching, I was hungry, thirsty, and honestly exhausted.
When I finally reached the treetrunk where I stored my clothing, and was about to shift back to my human form, a huge wolf ran into me. throwing me onto the ground.
