Sacred Vow (Angels Halo MC Next Gen 5)

Disgusted with myself, I pulled my knees up to my chest and pressed my forehead to my thighs as I willed the contents in my stomach to remain there. After a few minutes, the sick feeling eased, but I stayed where I was.

The loneliness I’d felt since waking up to complete silence all those years ago pressed down on me, making my heart ache. I missed my mom and dad. I even missed Marta. She didn’t have a lot of contact with me, but she’d been the only one to care for me over the past eight years.

Now, I was homeless and starving. There was no one to care if I was hungry or warm or safe.

There was only me, and I was doing a craptastic job of taking care of myself.

I sat there and cried until there were no tears left, but that could have just as easily been because I was dehydrated.

Forcing myself to stand, I brushed the dirt off my clothes and walked farther into the woods to find somewhere to sleep for the night.
