You Kissed My Soul
Chapter 40

Aderyn Pov

Run.

Run as fast as your feet could take you, just run.

“I am a little disappointed that you didn't even consider talking to me or anyone of us beforerunning away from us”

Blake spoke to me looking upset and his eyes reflecting his sad feelings. And the fact that I was thereason of his sadness made me even more keen onto escape this place as soon as possible.

“Luna please stop!” I heard someone from behind me and I knew I was nothing compared to theirsupernatural strength so I did what my brain told me was correct to do. They need to stop not me.So I turned a corner and ran as fast as I could towards the door. I just wanted to escape this place assoon as I can.

Earlier Blake, Cole, Jenny and Bella came to meet me. They looked beyond happy to meet me butsoon as I was bombarded with their questions.

Why did you leave?

You are our Luna.

You are supposed to protect us right?

We will protect you no matter what.

You are our family.

We are your family.

You are so strong. You faced so much difficulties in your life yet you always remain happy. You areour perfect Luna

You deserve to be our Queen.

Why did you leave?

Did we hurt you?

If we did then it was purely unintentional.

We can never hurt our Luna.

Please don't leave us

We need you.

Alpha needs you.

Then and there I knew that if I stayed here any longer my life would not be the same. Ever.

I will be loaded with responsibilities.

I was a lone bird. I was independent. And taking responsibilities means people will remaindepended upon you. And the last time I took a responsibility I was rewarded with the end of mysister's life. I am scared now.

I couldn't save her. I loved her so much.

I love these people too. No matter what they are I always felt a connection between them and me. Astrong connection. If anything ever happened to them then I wouldn't survive. I can not bear toloose anymore that I love. That is the reason why I never made close friends. I never opened up toanyone. Because I knew I would soon develop a liking towards them and at the end I would alwaysbe the one to get hurt.

So it is better if I stay away.

I am like a jinx. I don't want mine jinx fate to cause any trouble to the people that I love.

“Luna!” I heard another guy shouting for me but I didn’t stop running.

So after they went away my mind was kept fluctuating between should I stay or not. Latter I choosenot to stay. It was for the betterment of the people around me.

It loos like Dylan was serious when he told me that he wouldn't let me go. True to his words he hadhis werewolves guarding the place through where I escaped the last time. So, the only way left toescape this place was the indirect way. The back side of the house. There must be a place to get out.Yes, I am coward that I am running away. I don't have enough courage to face any more people'slife in line to Death.

“Please wait!” All of a sudden a guy came infront of me trying to stop me. He tried to hold me but inone moment I flipped him over me and continued running.

“Sorry” I yelled. No matter what I couldn't hurt anyone from here.

"Aderyn!”

It was Blake.

"Aderyn wait!”

"Aderyn listen to me” he yelled.

But I was keen on escaping. I wanted to escape this place by any means. So, avoiding him I ran.Soon I could see the door to the backside. I smirked and ran even faster dodging the people whocame in front of me to stop me.

Opening the door I ran outside only to be disappointed to replace no back entrance but only 15 footlong wall.

I stopped on my tracks and looked around frantically searching for any door or something fromwhere I could escape. But found none.

“Luna” I heard Cole's voice and turned around to replace everyone means literally everyone running myway.

“Crap” I said through gritted teeth.

“Please stop” he said as Blake and the others joined him.

“Alpha is on his way. Well There's no way she can leave now" Blake spoke as he looked behind metowards the wall.

I looked back towards the wall and its when my eyes fell on what I wanted.

I turned around and smirked at them.

Cole narrowed his eyes at me while Blake gave me a puzzled look. Before they can replace what I saw, Iturned around and took some steps back and then did the running start and lunged towards thewall and jumped into the air and using all my upper body strength, clawed the top of the wall andsticking my foot on the wall pulled myself up.

"Aderyn!” I heard Cole's disbelieving voice.

I climbed the top and stood on the wall dusting my palms on my pant and looked at theredisbelieving face chuckling to myself.

And before anybody could do anything I turned around jumped not caring about the height, notcaring where I was going to fall.

I was expecting thorns or bushes but I landed on heaps of leaves.

"Smooth landing” I spoke to myself as I dusted my hair and my top once I reached down landingsafely on my feet.

I looked back at the wall and then towards the woods.

“Now what?” I huffed looking towards the woods.

Taking a minute to decide on what to do, I finally decided upon going in there completely goingagainst my own intuition I headed into the dark woods.

I took a slow start at first but then ran using my full speed.

I remember Blake saying Alpha is on his way.

Earlier, I took the risk to run away because I heard that Dylan was out to somewhere. So judging bythe time he went away he must be pretty far away. And if I continued running like this then I wassure there would be no way ever for him to track me.

I would be leaving the country as soon as possible but for that I need to replace the main road where Icould take some passenger by’s help.

I ran more into the woods. I didn't have any idea where I was going but I didn't care.

I knew I was being a coward and selfish bitch by running away but the responsibilities that I wasloaded with was far more than burdensome and depressing for me than anything else. I wasn'tready for such loads on my shoulders.

As I ran and ran, soon I began to slow down tired. I jogged a little and finally stopped on my trackspanting and huffing. I took deep intakes and exhaled loudly tired. I could feel my blood thumpingagainst my skin and my heart beating wildly.

After a minute, when my heart was normal I walked ahead and looked up towards the sky. Thescorching heat of the sun and all that running making my throat dry. I walked and tried to look forany source that could ease my thirst.

Finally I heard something. Realising what it could be I ran. Going deep inside the woods, jumpingover bushes I reached the place.

A Stream.

I felt ecstatic seeing the stream. I ran to it and kneeled down on the bank and using my palms to fillwater I drank the cold water which immediately gave me relief from my thirst and I sighedcontented sitting at the bed of the river.

Something caught my eyes and I looked towards my front to see a shadow of something. Slowly theshadow began to emerge out from the woods and then it was when I realised that it was wolf.

Not just some wolf but a black wolf with a white diamond like tattoo on its forehead, with familiargreen eyes and the most part was it was way too much bigger than a normal wolf. It was the samewolf whom I saw in my dream.

It emerged out of the woods and stood at the other side of the stream facing me, looking at me. Ifound myself dumbstruck. I couldn't move as if I was paralysed on my spot. Though I felt scared Itried my best not to freak out. It was way too larger than a normal wolf.

It looked directly into my eyes and than sat down on its hind legs watching me. Then it took its earback and bent down drinking water from the stream.

Whenever I would make a move to get up it would look up at me and would glare at me.

The problem was I didn't had any weapon with me and I couldn't fight a wolf. All my trainings andfighting skills were useless against an animal. And I never hurt any animal. I loved animals.

It stood up from where it was sitting and then began wiggle its tail looking at me. And Before Icould register what I happening I found the black coloured wolf right before my eyes. Only acentimetre away from my eyes.

It jumped across the stream and stood before. My heart raced against my chest rapidly. I was failingmyself from to do something.

It began to sniff me and I decided to stay still if I didn’t wanted to be eaten by a wild wolf. Soon itgrowled lowly and bent down licking my hand which was full if scratches due to running throughbushes and tree branches.

"Hey! Stop” I managed to speak confused on what it was doing.

It ignored me and continued licking my wounds. And when it stopped I found myself gawking at it.There were no wounds left. It was healed. I looked up shocked at the wolf who healed my woundslike a miracle.

I couldn't believe my own eyes.

The wolf began to wiggle its tail and began to lick my face.

I laughed a little trying to push it away from my face. It wasn't hurting me in any way but it washealing me.

Soon it stopped and gathering confidence I lifted my hands up and stroked its fur and patted itshead.

It leaned into my touch and wiggled its tail even more. I chuckled at its behavior.

The wolf stopped wiggling its tail and began to walk past me towards the woods behind me.

"Hey! Stop. Where are you going?” I asked it but it didn't stop instead it went into the woods. I gotup from my place and turned around towards the way where it went.

The wolf went inside the woods disappearing from my sight.

As I frowned at it, I heard a twig snapping and looked up to replace a human coming out of the woods.But what surprised me was It was no other human but Dylan who was coming out of the woods,only wearing a jeans which hung low on his waist and what made me nervous was the fact that helooked damn upset.
