I was falling into a deeper darkness and I felt my body letting go of everything. My pains, my worries, my struggles, my life. Everything.

Peace.

That was all I felt right now and somehow, if there was any subconsciousness left inside of me, it wanted this to last longer.

After struggling for what felt like hours I lost count of, I saw my life flash across my eyes. I saw a short play of my life play in front of me. And each phase of my life faded in front of my minds eye as I drifted away.

"Olivia..." A sonorous voice calls from the distance. The voice was a whisper and it was fading. But I knew that voice too well.

I hear a laughter and another sharp call of my name. Then I see myself, I see my younger self standing behind the tree my father started growing by himself before I was born. I was only eight years old but I was excited. Because I was growing up and almost reaching the height of the small tree.

Darkness slowly seeps in as clips after clips from my entire life played after the other.

I was drifting away and I felt all the peace and calmness that over took me.

I also felt so much anger. Because I was seeing Damine's face as he smiled sweetly at me. All of that was a lie. He never loved me. He was never my mate.

And now I'm just going to die while he gets what he wants.

"Olivia wake up!" I hear a shrieking voice. Then I gasped. Something was calling out to me, reaching out to me. Then I felt a grip tugging at me.

Haley's P. O. V.

They say you only get one chance to make your wrongs right. That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the bamboo wood pushing down the waterfall from the mountain where I stood to collect tea.

I thought that was somebody tied to it. A woman. I take out the feather in between my lips and squint my eyes to get a better view. She's barely moving and I couldn't tell if she was still alive.

I watched as the bamboo disappeared into the water body and turned around to leave but I found myself stopping.

I never come out to this side of the mountain. And I intend to just get this jasmine tea and get back before the night falls. But I couldn't.

Taking a deep breath, I run towards the end of the mountain, leaping off and diving into the water.

I'm a good swimmer as I've loved most of my life out here in the mountains and swam ever single day of my life- I can say the water has become a big part of me.

I swim as fast as I could, following the water waves towards where I would find the woman.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I came across a beautiful young woman strapped tightly to the bamboo bed. Why would anyone do this to someone?

This woman isn't moving and if I even had any time to think, I would be wondering if she was even still alive.

I quickly fish out my knife and cut her arms and legs lose, then help swim her back to the shore.

Whoever did this to her would definitely come around here to check if she had been saved by someone. So I quickly start to give her a CPR. She coughs out water but doesn't wake up so I manage to carry her into my arms and hurried back through the woods, towards my small house.

I know it's wired that I'm living in the middle of the forest all by myself but that is my life and I dreaded this young woman's reaction when she wakes up. As I watched over her on my bed, I couldn't help notice all the pain and trauma she seems to have been in.

After a while I started to press her body with warm water and started making soup for her. While I was bringing up a bowl of soup, she jerks up, her breathing intensifying. She looked shook and scared.

"Hey hey it's alright," I called softly.

But the instant she sees me, she starts to draw away.

"It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you," I continue softly "you're hurt and you need to take this hot soup for the flu."

After a while she calms down and takes the bowl from me. I give her some space and let her sleep off early that night.

The following morning, I woke up to find the room empty. Scared, I hurry out to find her standing at the edge of the cliff, watching the waterfall in the distance.

"Thank you," she finally speaks, her back still turned to me "for saving me."

"What happened to you?" I manage to ask her.

I got to know her name and in exchange I told her mine. After five days of staying with me in the forest, Olivia finally summed up the courage to ask me, "why do you live here alone? Where is your pack?"

I felt all of the memories I thought were buried inside of me resurface as I leaned against a tree. We were out to get food to eat.

"I come from the Silver bow pack," I tell her "it's one of the biggest packs in the North, Olivia. And I am the daughter of an Alpha. But I was born without the true blood of an Alpha. I was born an Omega. So my parents left me out here as a pub." I hear her gasp in shock but it's the bitterness I felt in my throat that was more of a concern to me.

I remembered everything. I remembered how scared I was when I was dropped off at a scattered house far from silver bow, how I had to fend for myself before shutting the world out and finding a place here to live. It was all too agonizing.

But after Everything Olivia shared with me about her ex husband and how she ended up inside that water, I didn't feel the need to hide my story from her too.

But the more we got to know each other, the stronger out friendship became. Olivia was the nicest person I have ever come across and somehow, I felt so safe with her.

Which was why I said what I said six months after staying together, "come, let me show you my pack."

"Are you sure?" She asks carefully, worry lacing her voice. And I nodded. I wanted to show her who my wicked father is and if she ever wanted to be a part of a pack, she could always go there. She didn't have to live the rest of her life isolated inside the forest with me. That isn't her life just because it's mine.

OLIVIA'S P. O. V.

after spending almost seven months with Hasley , I've felt that she had become a big part of my life. I still need time to decide what I wanna do with my life, and most importantly , how I wanna take revenge on my ex husband and his mistress. But I don't tell Hasley any of this. Because I do not have the means yet.

When she asked me to come see her pack, I felt a bit of an excitement spark up inside me.

A few hours later, we were heading towards the North and two days later, we came across a tall wall, circulating an entire kingdom.

Hasley was right. Silver bow was a massive city.

"Come on, I know a way." Hasley says before going down the hill and circling around the tall fence.

I follow behind as she leads us down a very narrow and unnoticeable pathway with bushes keeping it out of sight. There's a very narrow opening on the wall, water streaming out through it. The hole is big enough for us to pass through.

"We can get into the city without getting noticed here." Hasley says.

"How do you know this way?" I ask her.

She stops and turns to see me before replying, "I've been here once. When I turned thirteen, I felt really angry, so I decided to come back to my parents.... I was just stupid and young and...."

I noticed how she trails off, her mind distancing quickly. "What happened hasley?" I press.

Her blue eyes finds themselves back at me and they watch me weakling before she replies "my father rejected me again. Then my brother challenged him. But instead of listening to him, my father had him arrested."

"You have a brother? Why hasn't he come to look for you?" I ask her, the entire story seeming to spiral as she got deeper.

Hasley shakes her head, "it's complicated Olivia. Come on."

I follow her into the city and we bursted out behind a house that was backed into the fence wall. We follow it quietly through the busy market.

"We can't get into the pack house," hasley says to me as we walked side by side "but I wanted you to come so that you can know the road Silver bow pack, If ever you want to find your way back."

I stop walking instantly and turn her by the shoulder with my hand to face me.

"Why would you do that, Hasley? We have a house back at the forest and I am happy there with you. What do I need to come here for? These are the same people who threw you out."

Hasley hesitates, then replied "Olivia.... You haven't told me what you intend to do to your ex husband for stealing your title and trying to kill you."

I didn't know why but I felt angry. I wasn't really thinking about what she was asking me, I was more upset about what she's trying to insinuate.

"Really? That's coming from someone who hasn't done anything to her parents who abandoned her in the forest for over twent years!"

"Olivia..... Olivia..." I noticed her voice breaking as she trys to lower the tone in her voice before speaking to me, "I can't... There's nothing I can do..... But you, you can do whatever you want. My father is a powerful man, he has a strong army. And so does my brother now. He is currently the general. They can help you fight your ex husband and you can get everything that you lost back."

My brows forrow angrily. Did she deceive me and bring me here? After all her parents did to her how can she even think of that.

"Look I know... I know that may parents have wronged me but I care about you Olivia and they are the only ones that can help you. I want you to find happiness again."

"I am happy Hasley! I will do what I wanna do on my own terms not when you tell me or try to help me without my consent! We were fine up at that mountain!"

"But.... I don't have much time to live, Olivia..." She mutters gently.

I stop quickly as her words hit me with a rush

"What?...." I managed to say.

I saw the pain in her eyes as she seemed to search for the words to say. I suddenly notice her puffy eyes and her coarse dry lips. She tries to smile but they fade as soon as they came. Something was definitely different about her today. Or..... have I not been paying attention enough?

"I have a rare disease, Olivia. I could never be as strong and fierce as you. " her voice is barely audible "I don't have much time left."

A tear slides down her eyes and I quickly pull her into my chest, embracing her and hearing her cry on my shoulders.
