SIDONNIE’S POV
“What are you scared of?” Athena asked, probably knowing the answer to her question already.
“I don’t know exactly, but I can tell I’m scared of having this baby. I don’t know if I can raise him or her properly like every other child out there. I am the only child of my parents and I don’t have the experience of nursing a child.”
“That’s not a big deal. You learn.”
That’s true, but I’m scared still.”
“You’ll pull through. What’s your name?”
“Sidonnie. In short, ‘Donnie‘. How did you meet me? I mean, what happened exactly?”
“I was on my way back from work after a long day and you fell on the floor right in front of me, a few feet away. You fainted and you weren’t responding to my first aid acts. no matter how much I tried. So, I had to bring you here, to my home.”
“Thank you.
I had no idea what happened to me. It happened on the spur of the moment and before I knew it, I was seeing nothing but darkness.”
“You were out for three days and nights,” Athena dropped the bomb.
“What? Did you just say three days and nights?”
“Yes, you were more than exhausted. She added.
“Donnie, I’ll be back in a moment.” She suddenly spoke up after being withdrawn for a bit. There were secrets I didn’t know about Athena yet, but I felt more relaxed after having the discussion with her. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Minutes later, Athena wasn’t back still, and I decided to take my time surveying the new surroundings I found myself in.
Cautiously stepping out of the walls of Athena’s home, a chilling breeze whispered through the dense forest, sending shivers down my spine. The sun painted the territory in hues of amber and gold. The scent of blooming flowers mingled with the earthy undertones of the forest, creating a serene yet mysterious ambiance. Athena’s home was not really in the bustling city, neither was it far away from it. It could be described as being in the middle of the surrounding forest and the city. Nevertheless, the sight ist pleasing to my eyes and senses.

My heart raced with a mix of anxiety and confusion, like a symphony of emotions playing within my chest. I knew nowhere around and I had no idea if I was trespassing
or not.
I haven’t moved far into the distance away from Athena’s house toward the bustles and bubbles ahead when I caught glimpses of some werewolves in the distance. Their eyes, glowing like fiery orbs in the daylight, betrayed a mix of curiosity and suspicion. The tension between them nudged the air of impending conflict. From their dressing, they looked like some guard of some sort.
Somehow, they looked familiar.
“Have you seen her? Have you seen someone like this?” They all had a drawing of someone on big white papers.
Everyone they met on the way to ask replied that they’ve never seen whom was in the drawing. It was obvious that they were in search of someone important on orders. Soon, different group of the search parties came together at a distance not far from me.
“How was it from your side?” They asked one another.
“There’s no fruitful response.”
“What do we do next, Beta?” One of the search members asked someone who looked like he was their leader. I couldn’t take a good look at his face as his posterior was facing me anteriorly.
“Worst comes to worse, we place a bounty on her.” The Beta replied.
“Isn’t that too harsh for the Alpha’s woman? It could be detrimental and end up badly.” Another search member commented.
“At this point, we have no choice. We have to provide her alive as requested by the Alpha. Remember his words?”
“Alright, then. We have no choice.”
Immediately, each search member picked up a drawing of the lady they were searching for, pasting it on every walls and corners of the houses around, starting from the house few meters from Athena’s.

What the hell? My eyes widened in disbelief, mirroring the shock that gripped my entire being. The revelation of who was in the drawing hit me like a sudden gust of wind, leaving me momentarily breathless. Staring at the walls adorned with my portrait, a mix of confusion and realization played across my face. It was beyond my expectation. Far beyond it.

It was as if the walls held a secret gallery of my life, exposed for the world to see. The scattered posters on different houses turned the quaint surroundings into a surreal stage where my identity took center stage.
My hand instinctively found its way to my mouth, as if to stifle the gasp that threatened to escape. Without a second thought, I dashed my way into Athena’s house very quickly as the bustling sounds of the search parties faded into the background.
The weight of being the sought–after figure settled upon my shoulders. The world around me seemed to blur, and the gravity of the situation etched lines of disbelief onto my face.
“You know, you shouldn’t be out there. It’s dangerous for you.” Athena’s sudden. appearance nearly made me faint.
“You know about it?” I was scared that Athena might act upon the threats written on the drawings and throw me out of her home.
“Yes, look at this.” She handed me a detailed search note which comprised nothing but my topic, my details. It read;
**WANTED: ALPHA’S ESCAPEE**
Name: Siddonie Stormclaw
A substantial bounty awaits those who provide information leading to her whereabouts. Whoever sees her should kindly report to the Alpha of the Moon Shade Pack.
Anyone who dares to harbor or assist her in any way, without informing the Alpha should be warned. The Moonshade Pack declares severe consequences for aiding her. Your allegiance to the pack will be questioned, and justice will be swift.
Moonshade Pack demands your loyalty and cooperation in bringing Sidonnic Stormclaw back to face the consequences of her actions.”
My knees grew weak as I read every detail entailed in the search note,
“Are you going to send me out?” I asked Athena with trembling hands.
“Of course not, you’re staying here with me. In fact, I’ll provide you with a job to fend for yourself.
