Chapter Four: Confusion

David’s words hit me like a ton of bricks. He is right. There will be no where I can go where the Alpha couldn't find me. Worst of all is that when we are connected, he will feel the love in my heart for David. 

       Before I could respond, I feel a vibration under my feet. I look down and know there is something huge coming this way. I look at David with pleading eyes, "I'm sorry, but we don't have much time. There is a pack of wolves headed here. I can feel the earth shaking. I will find a way to fix this. I love you, please don't lose faith in me. I need you to go along with I say. It will save your life. Then you leave. Get as far away as you can. Change everything. I promise you I will find you when this is over."

       We're cut off by a loud howl at the beginning of the forest lines in the front of our cottage. I look at David and pull out a pill that I kept hidden in my wristwatch, I put it in my mouth and drink down the water.  I kept one just in case something like this ever happened. I would be put back under their mind control, but still coherent enough to know who I was. David is staring at, his eyebrows scrunched together, and he is shaking his head as he paces back and forth in this room.

       My senses are heightened and I can smell the wolves as they are approaching cautiously. I scan the room and notice something in the mirror. My eyes have changed. They are bigger, there is greener than any other color. The Green is a dark green like the trees in the forest. I look at David in the mirror looking at me. He smiles "I will do as you say. I'll be filling for divorce when I leave. This way when you marry your alpha you can do it with a clear conscious. We both see what is happening together. Just remember your alpha lied to you." 

      The words that would have cut deep before I took that pill, do nothing but drop at my feet. He is right. The only way out of this, is his way. I feel the change happening but confused. I am human. This doesn't make sense, what’s happening. This is impossible. Isn't it?
