[DISCLAIMER: Contains mature themes]

"NO!" Was the last thing Anya heard as her mating and pack links were broken.
Weakly she opened her eyes to see Smith lying on the grass, his brown form withdrawing in agony; he whimpered while Hannah tried to comfort him.
Anya too could feel the pain of the broken link but unlike Smith she felt a new link take it's place, she was Parker's mate now. Her rucksack fell off her back as she lay limply, Parker keeping tight hold of her scruff.

Lewis, Trott and Ross ran towards her, hoping to help her, but Parker had already began to drag her away, away from her once territory, from her friends, it was too late for them to help.

Anya watched as the three wolves stopped at the territory border, their expressions full of pain. Lewis lifted his head and howled, moaning the loss of their pack member.

"Your mine now" Parker chuckled pulling her deeper and deeper into his territory leaving behind all she knew.
Anya couldn't fight, she was exhausted, drained, in pain and in mourning for what she had lost.
"And you will do exactly what I say, after all I'm the alpha! And your my mate! Say goodbye to the Moon and Stars! You follow the old ways now!" Parker continued his gloating, Anya was no longer a person, but a prize and Parker wasn't going to ever let that change.

Looking back in the direction of her past pack one last time, Anya let out a howl. "I'm sorry, forgive me" it translated as it blew through the trees. Slowly Anya let herself drift off into unconsciousness, she had lost the fight.

"Sh-she's gone" Smith whimpered still trying to catch his breath, the pain in his chest burning like wildfire.

Hannah nuzzled his neck softly trying to comfort the large brown wolf. Lewis, Trott and Ross padded over to the two, their heads held low.
"I can't believe she's gone" Ross mumbled shuffling the grass with his paw.
Smith didn't respond he just slowly lifted himself to his paws and began to walk home, he didn't want to talk about it, he had let Parker take her, and he wouldn't see her again. The pain from the broken link would never dim, it would be with him forever.

Trott sighed dropping Anya's backpack from his jaws, the bag slightly open he could look inside to see neatly wrapped Christmas presents, "Oh Aurora..."

*Time Skip*

"You stupid bitch!" Parker growled as he bit Anya's scruff and threw her to the snow covered ground. It had become his chosen form of discipline, for when Anya wouldn't follow his orders.

"Yea you tell her boss!" Cameron barked supporting the assault, he stood at the side lines with other members of the pack, all of them male, all of them cruel.

"Go and do something useful! Go catch us some food!" Parker demanded looking down on the broken female, but she had a strong spirit, and Parker was determined to break it.

"Yes Oberon" Anya said nodding in the black wolf's direction as she got back to her paws, trying not to wince at the new injuries to her neck.

"At least your good for something!" Parker chuckled, the rest of the pack joining in the laughter.

Anya left the packs gathering area and ran off into the woods. She kept running and running until she could run no longer, falling to the ground she let the tears flow. Over a week she'd held back her emotions, over a week with the monsters of new pack.
From day one they abused her in more ways than one. Physically and mentally she would never be the same again. She would carry the memories of the last week for the rest for life.

Blood dripped from the fresh wounds on her scruff, legs and hips and pooled on the grass creating a puddle of crimson liquid.
Parker was an Alpha powered by dominance, when Anya refused his orders he would discipline her, he would punish her until she couldn't stand. If she did his bidding, her reward was that she wouldn't be punished.

Living in a nightmare Anya was beginning to break. Parker also had refused her request to change back to her human form, then again that was probably for the best due to having no to clothes to put on, but she missed fingers, two legs, speech.

Getting herself back to her feet Anya continued to the hunting grounds, time to catch the packs dinner, sadly it wasn't the Christmas dinner she was hoping to be enjoying, it was the 25th after all, Anya had been counting the days.

"Hey Smith come on its Christmas! Come and have a drink" Trott shouted from the living room of the flat.
"Yea come on mate, no point hiding in bed all day" Ross shouted trying to persuade Smith from his sorrows, he hadn't been the same since Anya was ripped from the pack, the pain in his chest had lowered but hadn't disappeared.

With a groan Smith walked through the flat to where Ross and Trott sat, wrapping paper and gifts all over the floor.
"Finally, your presents are under the tree, and there is something special there, something I've been keeping" Trott smiled pointing to the pile of unopened presents under the hastily decorated Christmas tree.

Smith forced a smile as he worked his way through his gifts; a drinking horn from his brother, hundreds of Jolly Ranches from Ross, a Dota hoodie from Trott and several other gifts from family and friends.

"One more mate" Trott smiled passing Smith the last present under the tree.
Looking at the present from a moment Smith's smile dropped as he read the tag;
"To Smith
Merry Christmas
Love Anya xx"

"Where did you get this?" Smith questioned holding the present in his hand. Trott could see the hurt in his friends eyes and shrunk down, "It was in Anya's rucksack, I thought it might cheer you up".

Smith stood up and stormed off, the unopened present still in hand, tears rolling down his face. He didn't want Trott and Ross to see him cry.

"Maybe that wasn't a good idea" Ross sighed rubbing the back of his neck. Trott groaned and facepalmed, "Yea maybe not".

--

Smith sat on his bed, looking down at the present, he didn't know what to do.... Open it? Don't open it?
Not a day passed without Anya crossing his mind.
The whole pack was feeling the loss but Smith could actually feel it! The pain forever with him.

The non-wolf members at the office had questioned Anya's sudden disappearance, so Lewis had come up with the story of a family issue that had meant that Anya had to leave immediately and would inevitably never return.

Smith swore that if he ever got the chance, he would sink his canines deep into Parker's throat. He would do anything to get Anya back.

Taking a deep breath Smith slowly unwrapped the present to reveal a tribal design star pendent on a leather strap, a note attacked to it;
"To the Moon of my life, a star for you, so even in the darkness of night you know I'm with you xx"

Taking the pendent from the box, Smith tied it around his neck, allowing enough length so it would still be on even in wolf form.
Holding the charm in his hand, he let the tears continue, "I miss you Anya"

-~-

"Ah the bitch returns" Parker chuckled as Anya returned with her kill; two hares, a pheasant and three squirrels.

Dropping them at Parker's feet Anya turned to leave but his demanding voice stopped her in her tracks, "Where do you think your going?" He growled and Anya turned to face him, "To get some sleep" she answered but Parker shook his head, the rest of the pack squabbling in the background.

"Oh no you don't, after all I'm not finished with you" he chuckled grabbing her scruff again.
Another night of torture had began.
