SWNOVELS Chapter 57
Chapter 57: The Past
A FEW YEARS AGO…
Giselle’s POV
My heart felt empty as I stumbled aimlessly through the dense, unfamiliar forest. Dried tears streaked my reddened, swollen. face as my tears finally dried up from my endless crying. Still, my feet carried me forward, not knowing where it was taking me as my heart continued to ache in despair.
I sniffed as I clutched my broken heart as I limped weakly across the forest, my eyes empty like a madman.
I was just exiled from my own Pack, and I have nowhere to go.
Alpha William, Killian’s father, gave a cruel decree to remove me as a member of the Silvermoon Pack.
I am now a werewolf without a Pack to call home, turning me into a rogue.
I’ve never done anything wrong or broken any rules of our Pack. My only fault was to fall in love with his son during the time when he still hadn’t even met his mate yet.
Killian and I are high school sweethearts. We were so deeply in love that we were convinced we would turn out as mates in the future.
When things didn’t turn out as we thought they would, Alpha William thought it would be best to remove me from his Pack and away from his son to avoid any complications to Killian’s relationship with his mate.
He exiled me without a reasonable explanation. Killian tried to

Now, stone and afraid. I had to fruxige on, every step growing heavier with exhaustion. Thures parched my throat, hunger gnawed at my empty stomach, and my boely ached with strain.
My whole life, I never stepped out of our Pack. I don’t even know where I am now
My body froze in fear when I heard moverment in the underbrush. My heart pounded inside my chest when I noticed feral eyes gleaming in the shadows.
There’s no doubt that a pack of rogues like me are there to hunt me like helpless prey.
Without much thinking, I ran as fast as I could, which was my first instinct for survival. However, my weary limbs betrayed me; it didn’t even take that long for the rogue to catch me.
Just as the snarling beast pounced, a blur of motion emerged, and a powerful figure interposed itself between me and my attackers.
My eyes widened in surprise as I stared at the biggest wolf I’d ever seen in my life.
His coat of fur is as grey as an angry cloud. His back is turned on me as he bared his teeth at the rogues.
I felt the wolf inside me whimper when the huge wolf accentuated his imposing power. As my wolf tucked its tail between my hind legs, the rogues who wanted to kill me did the same, too.
Their ears and tails were pressed down so tightly as they ran

away for theu dear lives
Seeing that they were finally gone, my knees buckled, making me stump to the ground, and relief coursed through me.
I groaned as a wave of dizziness flowed through me after the adrenaline fled my system. Before I could vanish entirely, I saw a handsome man with angled and chiseled features hovering
over me
I blinked as the man’s face swam in my vision. I felt like my head was underwater. I couldn’t fathom the words coming out of his mouth.
Before I knew it, my eyes slid shut, and I collapsed,
succumbing to exhaustion.
When I woke up, I found myself in a strange room that I’d never seen before. Fear coursed through me when I couldn’t
remember how I ended up here:
However, when I saw the handsome face, which was the last thing I had seen before I passed out, my tense muscles started to relax, and I remembered how he had saved me.
That’s how Damien and I met each other. He saved me and welcomed me into his Pack, and from then on, the two of us grew close to each other.
At first, I never paid him any attention. At that time, he wasn’t the Crimsonbane Pack’s Alpha yet. I thought he was just a Pack Warrior who happened to be on duty, and that’s why he was there to save me.
His father was the Crimsonbane Pack’s Alpha. However, his father died when he was just a teenager, so their Pack’s Beta had to serve as their acting Pack’s Alpha until Damien was

ready to take the position.
Damien never mentioned his identity as the real Alpha to me. I have always been curious about where his power came from ever since I saw it manifested when he saved me. I knew he was too powerful to be a simple Pack Warrior, but the possibility of him being an Alpha never crossed my mind.
Even though he saved my life, I always found him annoying, for he bothered me. He always appears out of nowhere and pesters me wherever I go.
This wasn’t the first time that it happened to me. Killian was like that, too, when he fell in love with me. I knew he had crush on me based on his actions, but he’s not by my standards.
I wanted to marry someone rich or powerful. I would never settle on a mere Pack Warrior. Damien is handsome, but he cannot fulfill my ambitions.
I don’t want to waste my beauty on lowly and poor beings when I could fetch a better, rich, and powerful person.
