Chapter 34 I heard my moms voice screaming atand turned my head quickly only to be tackled to the floor by two men. The gun flew out of my hand, as I hit the floor with my stomach.
The men's eyes were black as night as I turned onto my back, while one of them aimed their claws at my neck. "WAIT!" Silence hit the street as a high ranking wolf walked up to where I was being held. "She's just a child, she can be taught our ways!" I was lifted up onto my feet while the wolf man walked closer and closer to me. “Take her to the square, she still fought back and so She will take the first punishment." As soon as those words left his mouth I was lifted and dragged to the square, kicking and screaming as I went. The humans of the town were gathered and I was roughly tied to two posts.
"Humans, welcto the new world! Before the rules are recited, punishment must be given. 20 lashings will be given to the girl, as an example to you all." Before I could wrap my head around what was going on, my top was torn off my body leavingin just my training bra and I felt a large bolt of pain burn on my back, I went to scream out but bit my lip hard instead. I will do whatever it takes not to show weakness to those beasts.

I would stay strong for my family, and I wouldn't ever forget what the world was like before the lycans.
Present day...
Beep... Beep... Beep.
My eyes lazily opened only to shut tight again as soon as I saw the brightness of the room I was in. "Argh" my head was pounding and my body felt weak and achey.
"Be careful my dear." My head snapped to the side as I slowly opened my eyes this time, only to cface to face with the kings grandfather. “You had us all worried, for a minute there we thought we'd lost you" He stated while looking into my brown orbs. The events of what had happened all cflooding back into my mind and I allowed my gaze to travel to my arm, it was covered in a plaster cast makingthink I broke my knuckle when I punched the king, and unfortunately the wound I had made was underneath the cast. "What were you thinking?" "L..." My voice cout horse and dry, while a monitor continued to beep repeatedly with the steady rhythm of my heartbeat. The old man quickly grabbed a glass of water and gently lifted my head up to have a drink. The cool liquid that slipped down my throat soothed the dryness and felt like bliss. I coughed a little then winced as my head felt like a thousand drums were going off inside.
"Just take it easy dear, you lost a lot of blood." I couldn't help but feel defeated, even death didn't want me, this is just terrific.
"Not enough!" Was my croaky answer as I turned my head away from the old man. A single tear slipped out of my eye as I thought about my life.
"Taking your own life isn't the answer dear, I know things have becvery difficult recently but doing this is reckless." I shook my head at him, I couldn't hear this anymore. Why didn't it work? Why can't I just end it all, all my suffering and pain, why can't I just join my dad.

"My grandson has been notified about your waking. He and beta Lewis are on their way, please be smart, judging by the cuts and bruises your sporting you know first hand about Josh's rage." He gavea small pat on my arm before looking atwith pity in his eyes. With that he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. I was alone once more.
'Con Dylan, don't show them any more weakness. I closed my eyes again and listened to the steady beep of the machine, I enjoyed the peace and quiet, it was nice to know that moments like this still existed...
