Transmigrated: The Lycan King's Pet

I took a shallow breath through my nose, then tried again. I dragged one foot back, but pain shot through my spine, and I wobbled almost dropping to the ground.

I kept pushing forward. Each step felt heavier than the last, like I was walking through thick mud. My chest ached from more than just the rejection. My heart still hadn’t settled, and my breath came out uneven.

Elder Dominic gave a slight nod. "Start the clock."

The bell rang loudly, echoing off the walls. "Thirty minutes begin now."

I dragged myself into the woods. I didn’t even have the strength to run. My body was screaming at me to fall, to give up, but I didn’t. The cold air outside hit my skin, and I staggered, nearly falling again.

The trees stood tall like shadows, the ground wet and uneven beneath my feet. My wings caught on low branches, dragging behind me uselessly. Blood was still seeping from my back, soaking through the dress, dripping with every step I took.

"You know now will be a good time for a portal to show up. Fucking show up and take me out of this place." I weakly placed my hand on a tree for support.

I waited for a few seconds but nothing came.

A shaky laugh rumbled from my throat like a jerking car. "Don’t tell me that you are going to disappear now that you have ruined my life. Show up and take me to a place far from here before the hunting starts."

But it was just the chirping of the insects that responded back to me. "No... No... You are my only hope. I didn’t request the hunt game so I can be gutted... show up please... please." My voice lowered, hot tears streaming down my face.

I clenched my chest. ’Why is everyone abandoning me... where are you now that I need you?’

I felt hollow inside. The only one that had ever come to my rescue was Damon. A man I supposed was my knight... even he had abandoned me. And my wolf had gone silent since the rejection.
