Running away to Destiny

Running away to Destiny

When Lilly has to watch how her father kills her fiancé, her daughter's father and mate, she makes a drastic decision. She leaves and never comes back. After a long journey she arrives in Lastgrove, a bustling city, far away from the city where she grew up. It's the perfect place, besides being far away from her family, it's also home to a pack of werewolves. After a rocky start, Lilly finds new friends. Lucy and Bruce. Lucy is about to be chosen as Luna by her childhood sweetheart and chosen mate, Dex. And Bruce, the one she carefully opens her heart to. Matters are complicated when it turns out that she has once again been chosen as a wolf's mate. This time it is none other than Dex, the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack. Lilly is in shock. She doesn't want to hurt her new friends, and she doesn't know if she wants to make such a commitment again. Even though she is not sure of herself, it hurts when she notices that Dex also has his doubts. Will they give in to their desires? Or do their doubts get in the way of doing what feels right?

Chapter: Chapter 14
Dex. Pov."Dex, what's wrong with you?" Lucy asks and pauses the movie we are watching. "You've been absent all evening. Is there something wrong with the pack?" She looks at me worriedly, and I suppress a deep sigh.She's right. Since I saw my mate, I can't think about anything else. Drake and I were initially happy and relieved when it became clear that we had met our mate. But that relief quickly disappeared when it dawned on me that she is human. Not only that, but even worse, she already has someone else's child. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but when I thought about my future, I saw a different picture.I have no idea what movie we are watching; all I can think about is her. And to Lucy, I don't want to hurt her. Yesterday, we discussed when we were going to announce that I would take her as my chosen mate and that that automatically meant that she would become the Luna of the pack. And now I have to tell her that I have met my fated mate after all.And if that isn't

Chapter: Chapter 13
Chapter 13The movie is fun, although I can't resist glancing at my new phone in between to see if Beth might have sent a message about Claire. Even though we have agreed that it is not really a date, I still feel a certain tension and butterflies in my stomach when he puts his arm around me halfway through the film.When the movie is over, I can't resist texting Beth to ask how Claire is doing, and tell her again that if, for some reason, things don't work out, I'll come home right away. A few moments later, I receive a photo of a sleeping Claire in response, with the caption telling me not to worry and to enjoy my night out."Are you okay? Do you want to go for walk?" Bruce asks doubtfully, and I smile."Yeah, she's sleeping. I don't think she even notices that I'm gone," I answer with a twisted smile, ignoring the slight pain in my heart. "And you? Are you sure your mother's heart can stay away a little longer? I don't blame you if you want to go back home already." He tries to rea

Chapter: Chapter 12
Chapter 12Before we go, I quickly read the contract Lucy gave me. As far as I can see, there are no strange things in there. After signing, I put it in my bag for tomorrow, otherwise, I will forget it anyway—stupid mom brain.I stand in front of my closet, hesitating. I have no idea what to wear for this non-date date. Even though I've been pretty clear that I'm not ready to date again, I still find myself wanting to look good for him. Those thoughts are followed by guilt. My thoughts and feelings have been so contradictory lately. On the one hand, I think it's far too soon to even think about another relationship. I can't stop thinking about Brent. No one can compare with him. That no relationship will come close to what I had with him. That's not surprising, considering we were literally soulmates. On the other hand, I also think Brent would want me to move on. That he would want me to be happy and not let guilt hold me back.An overwhelming feeling of grief washes over me. It's so

Chapter: Chapter 11
Chapter 11 - Lilly pov.The rest of the afternoon passes quietly. I got to know the children and the other employees better and better.Several times, I catch myself that my mind wanders to Dex. To his beautiful smile and his muscular arms that were clearly visible through his clothing. Embarrassingly, I have to admit that more than once, I imagine myself when he holds me in his arms. I shake the thoughts out of my head when Lucy comes back into the room. I scolded myself for my thoughts. What kind of friend thinks of their friend's boyfriend like that? Fortunately, she doesn't seem to notice anything.At the end of the day, when all the children have been picked up, we chat with the other girls while we clean up."So, be honest. What did you think of the big boss?" One of my new colleagues asks while wiggling her eyebrows meaningfully. I am startled by her question, not knowing what to answer. There is a chuckle from the other side of the room. "You have to admit, he's a treat for th

Chapter 10 - Dex pov.I'm in the middle of a meeting with a potential new client when I get a strange feeling. I try not to pay attention to it, but the feeling that I have to get this appointment done as quickly as possible is getting stronger and stronger.“Is something wrong Mr. Sutton?” asks the man sitting across from me when I look at my watch for the umpteenth time."Alpha, what is it?" Ronan, my Beta, asks through the mind link."No, just a little hungry. Didn't have time for lunch yet." I lie, and I say to Ronan "I don't know. I'm suddenly very restless.""Then let's get this meeting over with. I think I've heard enough." I smile stiffly, hoping I haven't ruined this deal. “I will discuss everything we talked about with my business partners, and when we have made a decision, we will contact you again.” The man says as he puts the papers in his bag. I stand up and hold out my hand. "Thank you for your time, and if you need anything else, don't hesitate to call," I say as I sha

Chapter: Chapter 9
Chapter 9When we return to the B&B, Claire is sleeping, the outside air has made her sleepy. Since she seems fast asleep, I leave her in the stroller. We walk to the kitchen, where Beth and Lucy look at us quizzically as soon as they spot us."Hey Lucy, how nice to see you again," I say with a smile as if I don't see her disapproving look at Bruce. It shouldn't, but it stings. A feeling of uncertainty overtakes me. Why is she looking at him like that? Because I'm human? Does she disapprove of her brother being with someone like me? A single mother? In my mind, I scold myself. It shouldn't matter because I don't look at him that way. And besides, maybe she gives him that look because she thinks he's not good enough for me, with his man-whore behavior. I immediately feel sorry for him, if only they knew what was really going on.I park Claire to the side and sit at the table. "So, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be working at daycare?" I ask to divert Bruce's attention. She looks a
