Brae's POV

I wake up in the clearing in the woods with multiple colours of different flowers all around. I smile in content and lay down in the flowers, closing my eyes.

"Finally," I whisper.

"What the fuck Brae?" I hear a voice ask.

"Huh?" I says, looking around before seeing a girl with jet black hair that flows down to her shoulders. She has very soft features and piercing green eyes.

"Are you going to answer my question," she seems very annoyed. So much for peace after death.

"Who are you?"

"Who am I? Are you stupid!" She shouts.

"Probably," I shrug.

"It's me, Noctis. The one who lived inside of you happily for two years. Did you really forget about me that fast?"

"Noctis? Why are you here? Did you die? I told you to leave me."

"I know what you told me but I will always stay with you until the end. You think I was going to let you die and be here alone?"

"I mean yeah. You should be with someone stronger, I don't deserve you," I look down with a tear falling down my cheek.

"Do you know how much you hurt Ace? Don't get me started on Riggs. He doesn't even know who you are and once Grey or Peter tells him, he will be absolutely devastated because he couldn't save you again."

"I don't deserve them! I just want to be here alone and have peace for once in my life!" I shout as I cry.

"Why?"

"Because being alive is too painful. Too many hurtful things," I whisper.

"Well boo freaking hoo because you are not giving up on my watch."

"What do you mean Noctis?"

"We are going back."

"No we aren't."

"Yes. We are."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes, you are," another voice says.

I roll my eyes, "Leave me be Pera." I look to Noctis who is bowing before the Moon Goddess and I just lay back down, closing my eyes.

"Braelynn, you..."

I cut her off, "Don't call me that."

"Okay, Brae, you need to go back. Do it for your mate Ace or for Riggs. Just please, you need to go back."

"Why?" I ask her, without moving to open my eyes.

"Because you are needed. You are special and there is more hardships to come your way, but in the end you will be happy."

"I'm good. I am perfectly content right here. I don't want anymore hardships, I have had more than enough to last me five lifetimes already."

"I know, but everything happens for a reason and I need you to go back with Noctis in order to save your friends."

"They can handle themselves just fine, I made sure of that," I retaliate.

Pera takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself, "You are going whether you agree or not."

"Well then, I will just keep coming back," I smirk.

"I will make sure you stay there this time, it's time to go. Noctis."

I open my eyes to see Noctis beside me and she places a hand on my forehead. I try to move away, but I feel paralyzed.

Everything goes black and when I come to, I see I am in a forest, but I know I am no longer in heaven.

"Fuck!" I yell into the forest.

'You bitch,' I tell Noctis who just chuckles.

'Love ya,' Noctis smiles.

I feel weird, different, and I don't like it. I start walking through the woods in no particular direction before I hear growling from behind me. I smirk. Rogue.

"Why hello there pup. What can I do for you?"

He snarls and jumps on top of me and I let it happen. His teeth clamp down on my neck and it hurts like a bitch. I expect my vision to go black or at least have black spotting, but I feel no different than from a moment ago.

I rogue jumps off me and I sit up. He looks shocked and terrified. He shifts back to his human form and I feel he has sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, and some stubble on his face.

"H-how are you a-alive?" He stutters in fear.

"I have no fucking clue," I reply and think for a moment before Pera's words come back to me. I growl and look up to the sky, "Fuck you Moon Goddess!" I shout and give her the finger.

"Geez girl, what's got you so mad at her?" The man asks.

"That fucker made it so I can't die. That son of a bitch."

"Really? I mean cool, but why..." he says quietly.

I look at him, "Why are you suddenly all nice? You just tried to kill me."

"Sorry. I just became a rogue and I thought you would try to kill me. I was scared," he answers, rubbing the back of his neck.

"What pack were you from?" I ask.

"Moon Pack.

I take a deep breath, willing the tears not to fall, "Are we close to their territory?"

"No, I have been running for a few hours before I ran into you. We are close to the..." he thinks for a moment and then shudders, "The Blood Paw Pack. Shit, we should get away from here."

I burst out laughing, "We're fine, follow me," I say, shaking my head. Of course I end up near my territory.

"I-I don't know about you, but I don't want to get killed. I heard their alpha is really strong and she is also a girl."

I whip around to him, how does he know that? I always keep my gender a secret.

"How do you know it's a girl, I heard it's a guy," I shrug my shoulders.

"Everyone thinks so too, but I was at the pack house and the "Alpha" yelled at a crowd. He didn't have the tone of an alpha, but of a Beta. I then heard that his so called Beta is a girl and I put the pieces together. They are very smart if I do say so myself."

"When did this happen?"

"Umm...about a week ago I think." Damn, I was gone a week this time?

"Lady, we are almost to the pack boarder, we should switch directions."

"What's you name?" I ask, changing the topic as I continue to walk straight. We are almost to the South boarder.

"Chris. I really think we should..." he cut himself off when he felt us enter the territory. "Shit, I am so going to die."

"Calm down and follow me," I insist. He hesitantly nods his head.

'Fucking Pera, why did she have to bring me back. I was perfectly fine in the beautiful clearing. Fucking bitch, why?'

'Calm down Brae, we have a purpose to fulfill.'

'Yeah and a lot of fucking shit is going to happen.'

'Since when do you sweat so much?'

'Since I was out on this stupid fucking planet again,' I growl.

"Where are all the damn guards?" I ask myself.

"Isn't it a good think we haven't run into any?" Chris asks from behind me.

"This is bullshit, there should be at least one person on the boarder. I swear to god Ace, if you ran this pack into the ground in one week, I will kill you."

"What are you talking about?" Chris wonders, but I wave him off.

We arrive at the pack house and something isn't right, the scents are all faint.

I walk through the surround yard first and then headed into the house. I searched every floor, door by door, to find someone. Anyone, but the house is completely empty and has been for a few days now.

"Where is everyone?" Chris whispers.

"Gone."
