All Chapters of Escaping The World: Lost in Book (book 1): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Danika I love this restaurant. The fist time we came here was when it opened. My dad is part owner so we come here for special occasions. The moment I step in the door, the owner stops his table rounds and comes straight to me for a hug. Mr Castano is an old family friend."Ah Danika! It's been too long. You look stunning. Andreas doesn't she look stunning? Of course you do! You always do! Let me get you a table, hmm!" Mr Castano grabs menus and walks us upstairs to his finest table which looks out over the city. "How's your dad? I heard he's in Italy for business for a month. Did he leave you in that big house for a month? All alone? He should have said, you could come stay with me and Andreas, no? But I'm sure Dominic is staying in the house with you while your parents are away, yes? Please sit sit! I'll make you a chocolate milkshake and bring you up a lasagne, yes! Enjoy your evening Prinsessa!" He leans over to place a soft kiss on the top of

'Where's Addy?' I write in my Chem note book and slide it over to Jared.  'She has to be home to welcome their Alphas son home or something.' He slides the note book back. "What?" I say aloud and look at him. Hadley Robertson is back. The world slows and everything just stops. Hadley Robertson is back. Hades is back and he'll want my head. "Mrs Yatt can I please go to the bathroom?" I ask but my voice sounds so far away. I can't hear her but I can see Mrs Yatt nod her head. I stand and walk out into the deserted hall, looking right then left. My feet take me on autopilot down the hall while I close my eyes and shake my head. 'He can't touch you, he can't touch you, he can't touch you.' I mummer as I walk down the hall. I don’t realise anyone else is in the hall until we bump shoulders. I think I mumble sorry before carrying on outside. The moment the cold wind hits me everything crashes down and then goes into over driv

"Yes, I'm fine. It's completely healedWe're at the house now getting your stupid gravy boatYes the one with the blue flowers. I have it in my handI will offer but I don't think he'll want toI'll talk to him and call you back OkayLove youBye""Ask me what?" Aidan butts in as soon as I put the phone down."The question was not for you." I state cheekily."What other 'he' is in your life that you would be asking questions to?" He playfully tackles me into a hug. "No one." I giggle from over his shoulder. "I mean besides Ben, Nick and Jared there's no one." He growls playfully and smack me on the tush. "You have quite an array of friends missy." He flops me onto the bed. He places his hands next to my head and leans over me. "And aren't you glad that my favourite is your beta?" I mock seriousness."Delighted." He copies me. He leans down and

It's Monday morning and things are tense at school. It's been exactly 9 days since the rogue attack and all the pack members and rouges alike are tense and on edge. It doesn't help that all of The Hailers look ready to murder someone. That's probably my fault because when an Alpha is upset, the whole pack is upset because the feeling unconsciously spreads through the pack link. I mean after I told Aidan I loved him, he marked me and I freaked out. He insisted I stay the night. So many things were running through my mind that I couldn't sleep so I waited for Aidan to fall asleep and phoned Jared, begging him to take me back to my Uncles. I've been avoiding Aidan ever since. It was all too fast, I needed to figure out how I felt before talking to him so I avoided his calls and my uncles made excuses for me when he come over (the most common one was that Nick and I had gone grocery shopping. Since Nick was staying with us it made perfect sense). I also had to

We have been to 5 different stores and still nothing. I am officially exhausted and we still have 3 more stores to look in before we call it quits at the mall. "How about some ice cream?" I suggest. "Only if it has alcohol in it." Rae retorts. Rae is the Paulers beta. He is 25 so has taken over from his dad. Bens mom worries so she sent Rae to keep an eye on us. "No Danika." Ben says dramatically. "Double Monday Underwear Owners get ice cream. Are we Double Monday Underwear Owners, hmm? Therefore no ice cream." He says definitively before walking into the next store. Rae moving like his shadow. I throw my head back and groan before starting the next 'exciting' look in the shop. Just as I'm about to walk in, a familiar voice calls me. "Danika! Wait up!" I turn to see Dylan running towards me with a group of warriors casually following behind him. "I saw you and I just wanted to apologise for earlier. I was in such a bad mood earlier
