Rescue and Revelation

Ashina POV

At my final moment I thought about my desires in life, desires that had been clouded by responsibilities and pain, I let my tears run down my cheeks relentlessly, there wasn’t any use cleaning them anyway.


Falling down from the top of the mountain wasn’t entirely the best suicide plan, but I had tried so many methods over the time, and I wasn’t prepared to be saved.

That place was the only place that I would not be found easily or returned back to the park. I know Lobo would take the glory for what happened, he would shame me for my death and make the park validate him for the loss. I hated him so much at that moment.


The hatred I had for him supeeceeeded the pain I felt in my heart.


He could go to hell for all I cared, while finally leaving Jain alone, I would take the blame and accusation and in my death my family would find another means to protect themselves because I was only obligated because I was present and ad the first daughter and rightful Luna after my mother and even in marriage it was my responsibility to take care of the park.


Further into the mountains my lower waist ached so much, the Jonah wasn’t more gruesome in reality than it was in my mind, my feet was sore and I had stopped stopping with every piercing feeling.


The Little Rock’s along the way had their way with my legs but I tolerated it till I was halfway up the mountain. Thirty more minutes at this pace and I would be at the top of the mountain.


Thirty more minutes in pain.

I had been so engulfed in my thoughts that I didn’t realise the trail I was leaving behind.


Blood…

Behind me was a narrow line of blood, my chin wasn’t bleeding, my nose was dry and blood ridin, my hands? Legs…


I accessed myself carefully for a clue where this blood might be dropping from, my curious hands finally located a moist spot between my thighs.


“Shit…”


A conflicted ache found its way through my body,my belly ached so badly, making my legs tremble tremendously as I fell to the floor.


“No, not here… please” I begged my wolf, but she was mute, she wished for death, she wouldn’t talk to me.


“Oh moon goddess please, I can’t die here” I begged, but my prayer didn’t go above my head, she ignored me…

She always does.

The man has eased but my heart felt very heavy, I felt myself waver in a pool of tender smoke,it caressed every part of my being, it teased my ears, whispering my names in a melodic tone.


I could almost giggle if I didn’t feel mute.


“Ashina dear” I heard, in several voices, “fight for your right” it said, “fight because you are blessed by the goddess race,”

Fight? I thought to myself, I had a million questions to ask, too many requests to make, but my ability to speak had been taken from me.


The clearer the voice the more my body trembled, “fight for everything the goddess stands for”


And that was the last thing I heard before the pain flooded my body. A wave of nausea flooded me, my head felt heavy, and my eyes burned…


“She’s awake, please come and check her she’s trembling again” I heard a man’s voice, he wrapped his hands around me, so tight, his palm resting on my forehead.


“Check her please, something is wrong”

And just then I felt a tiny needle pierce through my skin.


“Don’t worry, you will be fine” that was the last voice I heard before the pain came to an end.

Three days later, I woke up in a hut, very far into the valley, zeeb rescued me from my death, for the tenth time in less than a month, somehow he was the only face I see during or after my attempt to kill myself, he was a guardian angel that was always there against my will

Though I never told him that, I could only tell him thank you at this point because he also promised me he would not tell Lobo and would keep here till I have somewhere to be. But I wasn’t planning to leave, there was no park out there where Lobo would fish me out from.


If he wasn’t checking already…



“How do you feel now?”


“Better, thank you” I mouthed my appreciation in a low tone, while smiling. He sat close to me, his eyes bore worries as he stared at me.

“The bleeding was caused by the poison,” he said.

I nodded weakly, “I know” I responded.


“The doctor said, the bleeding was an aftermath effect, it was poisonous and you lost your womb”


“What!” I jerked from the bed.


“No!, that can’t be, it’s impossible” I had began to panic when he held my shoulders, then assisted me back to the bed.


“You need to rest,your head and legs are sore”

First was losing my child, now my womb!

“Zeeb” choked between hiccups. I cried my eyes out, “ I would never be a mother, who would want to stay with a barren wolf!, I am useless”


“Don’t say that” he said, as he wiped the tears trickling down my eyes.


“I would always be here, if you need someone to partner with”


“Oh zeeb” I pulled him in for a hug, it was the first time hugging him, first time being this close to him, he was only a brother in law but after estel he was the closest person who had earned the title of being called a friend.


A true friend.


“Thank you so much, but I am married to your brother, it’s an abomination”


He didn’t say anything but I knew he heard it as his body stiffened, “you have your whole life ahead of you, a life with a mate, you deserve that at least” he doesn’t say a word.


“And my sister, Meera,”


“No, not again” he pulled my hands that I had wrapped around him then stood up.


“Not Meera”
