Previously:

'I wonder what the Alpha King's name is?' was the last thing I thought of before I passed out.

Elizabeth's POV:

I was in pain.

It felt like my whole body was on fire, especially my back.

My head, just like the rest of my body, was aching. My eyes felt really heavy and I cracked them open slowly, expecting myself to be assaulted by bright lights. Instead, all I was met with was darkness. My surroundings were so dark that when I lifted my hands, I could not even see their outline. I blinked in confusion, a dull pain already forming in the back of my eyes.

In between the haziness present in my mind due to being knocked out for a long period, I could feel panic seeping in as my brain processed the situation I was in.

Had I been kidnapped?

But why couldn't I remember anything?

I racked my brain, trying to remember anything that might have been related to me ending up in a situation like this, but could come up with nothing. My last memory was of me reaching the choosing ceremony for the Luna Queen... ... ... OH!

Immense pain flashed through my head as memories started to come back to me.

The Choosing Ceremony, being selected as the next Luna Queen, and then falling asleep in his car...

Where did they bring me?

"Hello?" I shouted. "Is there anyone here?"

Why had those stupid, self-entitled werewolves abandoned me here?

Tears sprung in my eyes due to the immense pain in my back as I slowly sat up. I then tried to bring forth my wolf, hoping that it would help me to see clearly and would stop the pain. I suddenly paused and panic slowly started to settle in as I slowly stood up, trying to ignore the pain.

'I can not feel my wolf?'

I straightened my back and blindly flailed my arms (pun intended) while taking a few steps in a random direction. The only sounds around me were of my heavy pants and the echoes of my footsteps. For the next half an hour, I walked, not even knowing which direction I was going. That was until I heard someone cry. I strained my ears, trying to find the source from where I heard this sound. After a few seconds, I heard it again.

"Excuse me?" I called out. "Who is there? Please, come forward..."

No one replied. I started walking in the direction in which I thought the person should be. It was a stupid decision, but something about those sounds tugged at my heart in a weird way. I could not decide if it was because I was afraid of the person who was crying or if I was sad for him. Whatever it was, I was sure that I did NOT want to hear those cries.

When did my life turn into something you would only expect to see in a horror movie? Should I expect someone to suddenly grab my foot or something?

The cries gradually got louder, indicating that I was walking in the right direction.

That person...sounded like they were in pain. My heart did that weird painful thing again and I increased my speed.

I wanted to hold them. I wanted to console them. I wanted to take away their pain. I wanted them to stop those heart-wrenching sobs.

After walking for what felt like an eternity, I suddenly saw a small box of white light which seemed like it was some distance away from me. My eyes, which had become really sensitive after being in darkness for so long, squinted and my mind went to the cartoons I would see as a child. A cartoon character would enter a tunnel and would suddenly be trampled by an upcoming train.

Was this going to happen to me now? Had those two left me in a tunnel and ran away? Why would they even do that?

I had also not felt anything which resembled railway tracks under my feet while I was walking. Similarly, I had been walking using pure instincts, so if there had been a wall nearby, I was sure that I would have bumped into it.

After staring at that distant light for a few minutes, I ran.

I could still not feel my wolf, so my speed was slower than normal. I ran until I came face to face with a huge, foggy white wall. That wall was so bright that I squinted my eyes to the extent that it almost looked as if I had closed them. The white wall was endless. It stretched far, far away and the fog surrounding it added more to its mystical appearance. That person was on the other side of the wall. I was sure of that and I wanted to do nothing more than jump into this place and find them.

I stretched her right hand to touch the wall, my mouth was wide open in awe and wonder.

Just what was this?

I extended my right index finger, trying to touch it.

If I did, would I find him? But who did I want to find? I started at my right hand in confusion as the fog slowly swirled around it.

Why was I in a hurry? Who did I want to find so desperately? And how was I so sure that the person in question was a 'he'?

A sob came from the other side of the wall.

Oh. Him. I wanted to help him. But who was he? Why did his voice feel so familiar? It was almost as if I knew that person.

All these questions were making my head ache. I retracted my hand and rubbed my forehead, a frustrated sigh escaping from my mouth. Why was this even happening to me in the first place?

"El...i...za...beth." My head whipped up when I heard someone call me. It felt as if someone was calling me from an old receiver with the sound of their voice almost being unintelligible.

"Eliza...beth." The voice was clearer and louder now.

I looked around, trying to see who was calling out my name, but the only person here was me.

"Elizabeth!" they shouted. The voice was now many decibels louder and it echoed throughout that space like place I was in.

"Damn it, come back to your senses you stupid woman! ELIZABETH!"

I gasped and opened my eyes.
