found

I made my way into the woods but it was of no use, they were hot on my tail. One wrong turn and I was going to be found.

“please” I whispered, looking at the sky praying to whatever goddess was out there. “Just get me out of this mess, I promise I would be good from now on” I whispered, basically out of breath at this moment.

“over there!!!!” someone yelled, making the hairs on my body stand from fear.

‘should I cast a spell to take me out?’ I shook the thought out of my head before I even had the chance to let the thought grow. It was going to be risky casting a spell where I could be seen, that way, he would easily know that it was me.

My chest was beating rapidly at this point, tears gathering in my eyes.

“I should have just fucking stayed home” I cried, breaking into a run as I head footsteps.

I breathed in relief as I saw my house in sight, I looked around, making sure that no one was around before I jumped the fence into the house.

“fuck” I muttered, resting my back on the wall.

It was quiet, almost too quiet for my liking then my parents walked in.

I muttered a spell, taking the clothes off me and replacing it with the ones I was wearing before they left.

“honey!!!” my mum screeched, running towards my room. Panic flooded my brain, as my mum made her way to my room. “you would not believe what happened” she sounded heavily excited.

I muttered, using the last of my strength to cast another spell into my room just as she opened the door to my room.

“you are back” I tried to sound excited, but it seemed almost impossible.

“you would not believe it honey!!” she said, going off on how the masked person out rightly rejected the Alpha by running and how there was a whole chase.

I felt my heart squeeze.

I was definitely not rejecting him, I thought, but shook the thought off as it was pointless.

“mum” I cut her off.

“yes dear?” she asked a little startled since I was not showing any interest in the story.

“I…” I took in a deep breath. “what if I go see Aunt Mallory for a few?” she blinked again.

“are you okay dear?” she moved to touch my very sweaty forehead. “a fever, you want me to…”

“mum” I cut her off again “I just feel suffocated!” I snapped, feeling bad instantly “with me not using magic for now in this house, you know how it can get” she looked at me, the pity in her eyes very much evident. You want me to talk to your father for you? You know he Is just worried” she rubbed my upper arm but I pulled away

“mum please. Ethan getting his mate and..” my voice cracked a bit, hoping that she believed this or else, I was going to be fucked.

“fine then” she muttered, hugging me tightly “but at least see Ethan before you leave? The whole thing must be devastating for him. I nodded.

The thought of me going to see him making me want to shit my pants.

**

The next morning was… hell.

Through the night, I fought the urge to go over to Ethan’s place and tell him that I was the one, that I was his mate.

I gulped. “I will just go see him and then I would leave, it would be better for everyone” I told myself, trying as much as possible to lighten the dark spots under my eyes.

“who am I kidding?” I muttered, throwing the concealer and walking out of my room.

‘it’s not like he is going to give me a second glance anyways’ the thought made my chest to clench a bit but I kept moving. “I AM GONE!!” I yelled to my parents.

I got no response, mostly because they were in their own space, acting all lovey dovey

I sighed, looking at the clear path before I muttered some words, teleporting me to the front of his house.

I felt my chest beat wildly even though I had already masked my scent earlier.

I walked up the familiar path, taking in another breath before I knocked on the door.

“what!!!” he snapped, the door almost flying off it’s hinges as he opened it.

“I heard what happened, I just came to see if you were okay” I said, barely meeting his gaze.

He looked at me, long and hard before he let out a sigh, as though breaking in the process.

“she ran from me” he laughed, but you could tell it was humorless. “am I that much repulsive?” he laughed again, tears dropping from his eyes as he laughed. “you must be happy right?” he said bitterly.

“Look!!” I cut him off not wanting to stay near him, his scent was starting to cloud my mind. “I am not here for that okay?” He blinked, not expecting my tone. “I just heard what happened and I came to see how you are doing” I took in a deep breath.

“I would be going away for a few days, so I really do hope you get everything sorted and you can move on from what happened” I turned to leave.

“you don’t think I would find her?” he said causing me to go still.

“why would you think that?” I scoffed. “of course, you totally would find her! I mean if you don’t find her who will?” I wanted to shoot myself in the leg.

“look, here, if you have done any..” he grabbed me by the neck, trailing off as the spark erupted, making both of us to freeze…
