I left the field and limped all the way to the infirmary to have my leg checked, once I got an OK and something for the pain, I was told to rest... so I went back to my cabin.

How long has it been since then? 1? 2? 3 hours? 

I've been staring at the same stupid dot on the ceiling since I got back to my cabin, without a TV or phone to entertain me, I've been sitting in complete silence with the one thing I hate most.

My thoughts, my god damn thoughts.

There's nothing I can do, I've exhausted every possible outcome I could try with no luck.

If I leave? I'd be kicked out of my pack.

If I leave my pack... I'd be unable to contract my family, and I just can't do that to my mom, she's all I have left.

I could ask Alpha Mark, but then that would only end with more questions, meaning they'd find out... and I can't let that happen.

Hunters an Alpha now, he has the authority and status to move mountains, especially if I asked him to change groups, but that would mean I'd have to speak to him, alone in his office.

No freaking way, over my dead body.

All that, plus the rules... I can't risk being made a fool of again, I came here for a second chance, him being here is a bump in the road, a very large bump that I can't avoid- he's my freaking team leader after all.

I wish my mom was here, she always knew what to say.

It's been a day and I miss her.

Stupid camp rules... only allowing one call to someone of our choice once a week, every Friday for only thirty damn minutes.

There's nothing left to do other than suck it up and ignore him as much as I can without insulting his fragile Alpha ego.

I just need to do my six months, after six months who knows what might happen? I'd like to think I find love here, live on with my life and leave Hunter as a thing of the past.

I'd give anything I own to be who I was before him before he broke me before he made me an outcast in my own pack before I was some stupid girl hoping her prince charming would sweep her off her feet.

I hate him, I that he still looks good, the way he looks at me unbothered that I'm here, that I still feel so angry about being rejected, that he's fine and happy... and I'm not.

The door opens suddenly, making me sit up on my bed to see Bethany come groaning out loud.

Her eyes meet mine and she frowns coming over to me, sitting next to me on my bed.

"Are you okay?" She asks worriedly, her eyes scanning me over. 

"How's your leg? Did you see the doctor? Did you eat yet?" She frets, staring deeply at me.

I laugh and nod. "Yes, fine, yes, and yes." I say, with a salute.

She groans out and lays back on my bed with her arms out. "I'm exhausted!" She whines out.

"How was it?" I ask curiously, crossing my legs on the bed.

"The worst." She mumbles out. "After you left, Alpha Hunter made us play that stupid game for four hours straight!" She cried out. "Four hours, Carly... FOUR." 

I cringe, knowing fairly well how awful that game is, relying on your team to avoid the blindfolded rogue, and trusting your team to not get caught by hand signals can be so exhausting, especially when they don't factor in scent marking.

"It was so boring without you, I wish you could've joined in, we all missed you." Bethany says, turning to face me with a frown.

"You mean, you missed me." I nudge her playfully.

She shakes her head and then smirks. "Sam too." 

"I think he definitely has a crush on you, my wolf senses are tingling on this one." She adds, wiggling her eyebrows.

My cheeks start getting warm at the thought of Sam ever liking me, and I won't lie, I like Sam too, but to what end I don't know, and before I could hide my blush, Bethany sees it and then goes 'awww'.

"Wait- you totally like him too!" She asks, sitting up excited. "Seriously?"

I roll my eyes and get off the bed and walk over to my wardrobe, putting my cold hands on my warm cheeks. 

"I've only just met the guy, Beth." I groan out. "I hardly know anything about him."

I grab a hoodie from the rack and put it on, when my head pops out I see Bethany still smiling, making me groan out.

Sam is nice and incredibly handsome but most of all I felt like we clicked instantly, but it's been so long since I felt anything for anyone, I don't want to rush into anything, I wouldn't want to lose Sam as a friend if he didn't feel the same.

"This place is all about second chances Carly, I'm not saying you should marry him right away." She says.

"But you should maybe... I don't know, see how it is with him?" She says cheekily, hinting at something dirty without saying it.

I hug myself dramatically. "And give up my innocence for him?" I say, with a gasp. "Never!"

She snorts loudly, surprising both of us and making the room fall silent, until we both break out laughing, and grinning from ear to ear.

"Let's go grab some food cupid, I'm starving and I need to get out of this room before I go crazy." I say, pulling her up from the bed and pushing her toward with my hands on her back towards the front door.

"Pizza!" Bethany squeals out.

It's like she read my mind. "Definitely pizza."

Just like that, I had forgotten all about the past few hours just from talking to Bethany for five minutes.

Maybe Sam is my second chance.

If he's not, then this place is, and I'm not giving that up for anyone, especially the very guy who put me in this situation in the first place.
