Chapter 3 THE BANISHMENT

ROSELINE'S POV

"Let go of me, you fool." I struggled with men who, on average, I could overpower.

"No, Roseline!" Cassie wailed and ran towards me as they dragged me out, but she was stopped by Logan, voice. "Hey, come back or you'll join her; because of our previous connection, I wasn't meant to spare her life; she was fortunate, I only banished her.

"Let go of me, Logan you can't do this to me" I yelled angrily at the men who dropped me into a waiting van that was already prepared for the board that was between the blood moon villa and the evil woods.

I cried my eyes out like a baby who was been separated from it mother, I tried again to get out and run, but i was pushed back, realising I was trapped and couldn't get out i hurriedly rush to the window as i saw Cassie being held back by some of the Alpha's men.

My eyes were crimson, with tears flowing down them, and as we reached the pack's border, I began to breathe rapidly out of terror.

I was pulled out of the vehicle in the same manner they violently dragged me with contempt; just a few days before, they all showed me respect by bowing at the sight of me, but now watch how they treat me.

I was already getting cold, they didn't even let me pack my things before sending me away. They brought me here directly from the Alpha's house without any of my belongings to die in the woods.

As they drove off fresh tears came streaming down my face, at the sight of the lonely path,

I didn't have my wolf. How am I going to survive? I began strategies for survival, as I sat there alone by the lonely path, leading to the deep forest.

My heart skipped as I noticed someone approaching me, fear gripped me it wasn't even close to an hour of arriving here I was already getting attacked, as the figure approach I realised it was an old man's figure,"who are you, don't come anymore closer" I shouted trying to stand my guide.

"It was the old sage Cassius," a glimmer of hope appeared in my head. "Master Cassius, thank goodness it's you!" I shouted out in terror. "Take me back with you please, maybe you can talk to the alpha, I am not sure I can survive this, I didn't have my wolf, I can't" I looked miserable.

"Fate chose this part for you, I am very certain that you will come out strong." His remarks made me feel even worse.

"Have this, I figured out that you have a long journey ahead so I decided to pack you some luggage which your friend left at my place, here is also a map that leads to the human world, may the moon goddess guide and protect you" the bold sage words echoed in my head as he disappeared into the dark.

I really wish he could take me with him as he leaves but I don't want to cause anymore trouble. I have already accepted my fate, and I have concluded on going this part, but where do I start from, thanks to the old sage I had a map with me.

As I began navigating my paths, it was already getting dark. I tried not to think about how my life had devolved into a complete mess, from me not having my wolf to my mate rejecting me and choosing my sister as his luna, and now here I am in the deep forests with giant trees and wild animals.

It was very early in the morning, and I continued my journey, using the map as a guide; even though the forest was much larger than I expected, there was no place safe for a wolf, let alone me, as there had been numerous rumors in the pack of rogues leaving and killing people in the woods.

My body screamed for rest, my mind begged for respite, and my heart pleaded for mercy, as the woods stretched out before me, a seemingly endless, merciless expanse. Exhaustion took over me, and I was on the verge of collapse. Five terrible days of travel with no food, not even water. My energy was dwindling, and my body had reached a breaking point.

I slumped on the dry, rustling leaves, my chest heaving as I battled to breathe. My limbs felt like lead, and I couldn't move an inch. The world around me became blurry, and my eyes drooped, blinking slowly as darkness closed in.

Just as I was ready to give up, I felt the presence of others. Footsteps came, and I felt hands grab for me and lift me off the ground. My mind became jumbled, and I lost all feeling of control, sinking into the depths of oblivion.

"Was it all just a dream?" I wondered, my mind racing with disjointed recollections. "Please, let it be a dream." But the feelings were too real: rough hands, unknown voices, and the sense of being utterly at their mercy.

Panic came in as I attempted to recover control, but my body refused to respond. I was caught in a living nightmare, unable to move or flee. All I could do was lie there, powerless and defenseless, while these strangers did whatever they were doing to me.
