ant cry? i asked me as I wiped away the tears angrity.

There is no reason for me to be sad, I was doing the right thing I knew I was but why did it feel like my heart was breaking? if that is the case, want i meant to feel relieved that finally I am going to get out of this Pack once again. I knew the answers to those questions but my mind refused to go to those places. I didn’t want to admit that the reason why my heart was breaking was because I am losing Bernard. After I left, I will never see him again, I will never smell him again and those thoughts hurt me more than words could ever explain

Why did you do this to me, moon goddess? Why couldn’t you have just made me mataless so that I would never be forced to break my own heart? 1 sniffed and brushed away the last few years that flowed from my eyes.

Lallowed myself to mourn for fifteen minutes for the loss of a premature relationship that never got to see the light of day. I allowed myself to feel the gravity and reality of the situation weighed on it. I stood over the bag and allowed my tears to Bow, I allowed myself to break and I placed my hand to cover my mouth to present someone from hearing me. The only time I ever experienced a heavyweight of pain like this was the day my parents were murdered.

At the thought of my parents, the memories came all rushing back to me. The panic in my mother’s eyes, the wolves running after me. Then my eyes snapped open

1 am leaving I finally decided, my pity party coming to an end.

No matter how touch my wolf wanted to be near Bernard, I had to do what is best for us and what is best for us to leave this Pack. I zipped up the bag and sighed deeply in relief Stage one done, now I just needed to get past the guards outside his house and the patrol wolves that roamed around the forest during the night. I counted four guards on this side of the house. I couldn’t creep out through the door because my room was too close to Bernard’s room. He would wake up if he heard a noise and this entire plan would be a waste. My only option was crawling out through the window when the guards walked into a blind spot where they couldnt see me.

Are you sure this is what you want to do? My inner voice tried to reason with me again. I had been pushing her further and further to the back of my mind but he kept making a reappearance.

‘If I leave, it will not only make my life easier but it will also make Benards life easier as well with me gone, he will be able to focus fully on his soon to be bride and I won’t have to see it. I don’t know if was trying to convince my wolf or to convince myself, possibly

both

From what I learned about mates, the reality is that some people had feed mates while some had chosen mates. This Helen is going to be Bernards chosen mate which means that an oath would have been taken for the union to be sealed. He gave his words to this woman that he would marry her and the would become his Larva

is our world, the word of an Alpha is as good as a legally binding contrist. If an Alpha was to ever break his words m, then he would lose respect from his fellow Alphas, his Pack and sometimes his Beta. Leaving would make everything easier for everyone involved.

1 am sorry.” I whispered into the empty room. I didnt know who I was apologizing to, I didn’t know if it was Bernard, doctes Liam, Alisha or if it was myself. Possible all of the shove

Chapter 18: Run Away

1 shouldered the bag and walked over to the window, I stared down to where the guards were standing and counted to sixty. They always moved from their position every sixty seconds and before I could finish Counting, they moved and made their way around the corner. I wasted no time at all as i used the gutter that was screwed to the side of the house as a makeshift pole to help me to the ground. I had only sixty seconds to do this.

I slid down the gutter, making sure not to make any sudden movement or make a loud sound because this plan would have been over. As my feet reached safely on the ground, u took off running in the opposite direction of the guards. Stage one done, now stage two. I was riding on pure grace from the moon goddess and a whole lot of luck.

I hadn’t tried to transform into my wolf because I wasn’t even sure if I could manage to transform. Transforming has always been difficult and painful for me. My mother died before she could teach me how to make the transforming process easier. I had to learn it on my own and had struggled and still struggling till this day. I made sure to keep to the shadows. My red hair was tied into a bun and covered by a black cap. It blended into the darkness and my all back tight and hoodie made it easier to melt into the night as well. Years of being on the run had taught me to be quiet, sneaky and agile.

As I got to the main center of Bernard’s compound, where are is a big mansion that I am sure was the Pack mansion, I froze. There were patrol wolves moving around the house. Many of the lights were off seeing as it was in the early hours of that morning. I could only see seven wolves and there was enough darkness to hide my shadow. I just needed to remain cautious and move in silence. The patrol wolves worked in sequence, that is one thing I noticed. If I moved when they did and stuck to the shadows, then I knew that I was going to make it past them.

The first wolf moved and I moved with him and went down the path along the side of the house. I made sure to jump over any twigs that had fallen onto the ground and keep to the shrubs so that they could mask my scent. I cleared the first wolf and then moved to the second one. Then, the third and finally I was on to the last one. I could see the tree line in the distance, if I was able to get past him then, my freedom is only one stage away. I moved along the shadows, making sure to keep hidden among the odors undergrowth to stop them from smelling me too easily. I stepped around one of the small bushes that decorated the surrounding area, my foot landed on a twig and it snapped.

The patrol wolf whipped his head towards my direction and I froze. His eyes narrowed in my direction and I quickly hid behind one of the taller bushes. His eyes began to glow as he used his wolf eyes instead of his human ones. He scanned the area and then went over it again a second and third time. When he got satisfied that there was no intruder, he turned back to patrolling. I breathed a silent sigh of relief as I stepped back out from the bush and moved through the shadows. I could see the tree line drawing closer and I knew that I am on my way to my freedom.

I had no idea what came next after I made it through the woods. I still had to get past the border patrols because I couldn’t stay within his territory. If I did, he would replace me and all of this would have been for nothing. There was a nagging ache in the center of my chest but I ignored it. I cried and mourned for ten minutes and decided to move forward. This Pack wasn’t my home, I was a lone wolf and I didn’t belong to any Pack or anyone. That is how it had been for the last ten years and that was how it is going to continue.
