Desperate Escape

ASHINA'S POV
While I had been assuming that Zeeb was the one injured, I was informed about the news. I lost my pregnancy!

Zeeb rushed inside suddenly as he pushed Lobo away in his wolf. Lana growled angrily and made towards Zeeb who shifted into his wolf swiftly.

The pack physician quickly came over to my side to disconnect everything connected to my body. He helped me up as we ran out of the room, together with the maids and Meera.

I looked back and saw Lana punching Zeeb so hard, and I wished to go back to save him but they nudged me to face where I was going to.

As we got to the hallway, everyone dispersed as I quickly found a small room to hide. I didn't want Lana to find me in the hallway after wounding Zeeb. He might even catch a whiff of my scent, so what's the point hiding?

I rose to my feet and gasped as I saw a figure right beside me. As I almost screamed, the figure shushed me and revealed the identity.

"I'm one of your maids, madam. We're here together." She said, found the door and shut it.

I suddenly felt peaceful after the door closed, until she began to reveal details of how everything went.

"Meera was the last person to serve you a drink, if you can still remember. While you drifted off and began to act weird, blood came out of your nose and some other parts of your body until I noticed this and informed Lobo about it. He brought you here on time while your sister claimed she didn't poison your drink. The pack physician conducted the test and it showed that you were poisoned." She said.

How could my sister poison me? What wrong had I ever done to her to deserve this? Though evidence was available, but it seemed very hard to believe.

"How could she do this?" I asked myself as I broke into tears. My life was shattering already and I could sense the next plans Lobo had in mind.

What made him cherish me one bit was his heir that was inside me. Now that it was gone, he would stop at nothing to harm me. I needed to be away from this place on time, if not, I would be gambling with my life.

"Make preparations. I need to leave here," I said as she stopped me from moving suddenly.

"You can't do that without a second thought," she objected, "when a Luna leaves a pack, it's always official."

"Not this time around." I said, and pushed her away as she fell to the ground and groaned slightly.

I walked towards the hallway suddenly and tiptoed towards the same path I trod out of the pack the other time. I didn't notice any security guard until I got closer to the place.

He asked me where I was going, but I threatened to strangle him if he didn't leave my way. I didn't know how I could have done that successfully, but I knew I did it.

I pushed him away and ran out of the pack. I wasn't even going to visit Estel's family at this point. They're just a bunch of sad people at the moment. I need people who could give joy at this point.

I headed towards home, wanting to continue my accomodation with my parents. They didn't send me away anyway, but I wouldn't inform them about Meera attempting to poison me so the kid and myself would die. The kid actually.

Though I had noticed her reactions whenever I mentioned the arrival of my child, but I didn't really consider it like a big deal since I knew I was just being paranoid and unreasonable.

Now that the truth was becoming much clearer, I needed to be away from her and the pack in general.

Even the defence of the pack was going weaker now, and soonest, I might be killed. I needed to take the proper actions, which led me to the doorstep of my parents.

I needed to protect them while trying to be amongst them for a while to avoid Lobo's burning anger on me.

As I entered the house, they weren't quite excited to see me. The best adjectives to describe thier looks were confused, shocked, a bit annoyed.

"Welcome," someone gruffly said as I felt unwanted suddenly.

"You need to go back there. There's nothing for you here," another said as I felt my heart pound harder now. I grabbed the doorknob much tightly to my hands as I objected, "no, you all need to be saved. Do you know the risk I took to come check up on you here?"

"Which is not appreciated." Another said, making me feel sad. Though I understood their points, but I simply couldn't return to that monster. He could rip out my bones merely by staring at me. I had lost the most cherished thing he saw in me, and I couldn't even tell if anyone would be there to save me once he began to beat me.

I was feeling more discouraged with each word heard from my family. They didn't even offer me a seat before they would advise me on what to do.

It suddenly felt like I needed to take that big action that would change my story. I was so done with the experiences I'd passed through in this world. Perhaps in the world to come, I would be happy, even if I didn't powers as much as I did now.

Without hesitating further, I slammed the door shut and hurried off from the doorway. I wondered why they could be so mean not to spare me a last glance while I departed.

There were many hills and mountains close to the place I was heading to and I knew I could make something sensible out of them.

I walked freely towards there, still reeling from the shock of the loss of pregnancy. What could I have done to deserve this?

I eventually got to a mountain which I started to step up. Perhaps when I got to the top of the mountain, I'd jump down and say my goodbyes to the world.
