I was running out of strength to even fight him. I could feel the fatigue hitting me. It wouldn’t be long before I had no choice whether to fight or not, because my body would surrender for me. I had no choice but to reflect on how stupid I had been. Some of the reason I had refused to accept help was to protect the pack and to prove myself, but I also knew some of it was because I didn’t want to rely on Brodie ever again. It was more than that. I couldn’t bear for him to let me down again. He might not truly love me, but I loved him. I wished I didn’t.

There was a thud, and the weight eased from on top of me. I snatched at the dagger. I wasn’t going to waste time wondering why it had happened. As soon as my fingers laced their way around it, I turned and got ready to plunge it into the great beast.

    I was running out of strength to even fight him. I could feel the fatigue hitting me. It wouldn’t be long before I had no choice whether to fight or not, because my body would surrender for me.

    I landed right behind him and felt satisfied when I saw him jump. I felt like laughing. The whole thing was ridiculous. If this buffoon was the best Marcus could come up with, then he wasn’t much of a threat. He turned, and I smiled at him like the innocent girl I used to be. It wasn’t fair for me to toy with him, but I couldn’t help it. He came towards me slowly, like he was trying not to scare off his prey. Little did he know that he had the prey versus predator situation the wrong way around.I waited for him to get within a whisper of me, even letting him grab my arm. The look on his face told me that he thought he had finally managed to do something right. He was clearly a lifelong failure in the eyes of my uncle. I dropped the dagger out of my sleeve and into my hand and seamlessly slid it directly into his gut. The shock on his face was a picture. He looked like his eyes were about to pop out of his skull as the realisation of the situation hit him. He opened his mouth

    The sun was getting too high and was peaking over the mountains too much. If it got much higher, it would be too hard to hide my position. I thought over my options. I could head back to the camp and call it quits, but if I did that, Marcus was still likely to come and it would be leading him right to the camp. I started regretting agreeing to being so close to the camp. The only other option was to stay and still take on Marcus, knowing that every second that passed, it was getting more and more dangerous.Gerald wasn’t wrong. I had no idea what I was truly facing, and I needed the element of surprise to stand a good chance of doing any damage to Marcus. Beneath the leaves, I heard rustling and lowered my head. I couldn’t see anything. Staying as still as I could as I tried to take in my surroundings. Nearly falling from my perch as something leaped into my view. A bloody deer.I watched as it bounced its way into the clearing. It looked so serene as it dipped its hea

    When I woke the next morning, Brodie was still sleeping. I had expected him to wake the second I moved and insist on coming with me into the forest. I moved so slowly and quietly around the cabin. Taking all my things upstairs before getting ready. I couldn’t risk waking him. If I did, everything would have been for nothing. I wrote a note to him. Explaining what I had seen and revealing my secret to him. I pocketed the note and slipped out of the door. Instead of heading straight out of the camp, I took a detour to the meeting cabin. As soon as he realised I was gone, he would call everyone together. Setting up search parties to track me down. It was the ideal place to leave the note so that he wouldn’t see it until everything was all over.As I reached the door, I had second thoughts. I didn’t want to be alone in the world again. That wasn’t a good enough reason to stay by Brodie’s side while he and Cassie made a fool of me. As soon as I thought of the pair of them, I could

    I tried to ignore him, but he didn’t even attempt to move himself. Once he was done speaking, he lay his chin on my shoulder. Leaving me no choice but to just stand there with the pressure of his chin digging into that soft hollow of my shoulder. “We have a plan now. The only question left is when we want to implement it? How long does the pack need to prepare? My family and I are ready to get going whenever you guys are.” I continued focusing on each person around the table and tried to maintain my confidence. It was hard to concentrate when Brodie was so close, even under normal circumstances, let alone when I wanted to hurt him in ways he couldn’t even imagine. Gerald raised again and under normal circumstances, I would have sat down while he said his piece, but with Brodie leaning on me, it wasn’t an option. “Twenty-four hours i

    I couldn’t fall apart. I couldn’t go back to being the weak creature I had always been before. Pulling myself up from the dirt and dusting myself off carefully, I took a look around to see if anyone had seen me. It looked like everyone was still going about their lives as though nothing had happened. I took a deep breath and peaked around the corner. They were gone. I wondered if Brodie had heard my thoughts. He was probably too busy to bother thinking about me, let alone trying to sense me.I stepped out from behind the cabin and headed straight to the meeting room we had been in before. I would tell Jackson that I couldn’t find Brodie and, given the seriousness of the matter, that we should start without him. I was done taking a backseat to him, with putting him and his place in the pack first.It didn’t take long for everyone to start arriving and I purposely sat in Brodie’s chair as they all took theirs. “Sorry to pull you all back again, but we need to come up wit
