I have been here for five days and if my calculations are correct then the wedding should be any day from now. It could even be today for all I know. Since Liana came I haven’t gotten any visitors except Alpha Hunter who comes every morning and evening unfailingly to give his daily dose of torture. I was waiting for his arrival this morning and I had already braced myself for whatever torture he had cooked up for me, but I was shocked when he opened the cell but didn’t walk in. I shot him a confused look but he simply smiled and held out his left hand. “Come Charlotte; you get to be free today.” He said but I still stared at him, “I don’t like to be kept waiting; get up now before I change my mind.” A part of me wanted to tell him to suck it and stay down here forever but then I saw the look he sent to one of the guards and I realized what he issue was; he felt disrespected.

The stream was about five minutes away and I immediately jumped in and tore my dress off and let it float downstream.True to Aubrey’s words there were some clean clothes and I quickly put them on and continued my journey. I don’t know how far I ran but I ran until I came to a busy street and from the smell that assaulted my nose I knew it was dominated by humans. I can blend in here and no one will ever find me. I made my way over to the payphone but cursed when I realized I didn’t have any money on me. “Are you okay dear?” I heard a woman ask from behind me and I turned and gave her a small nod.          “I am thank you.” I said with a small smile. “I think I have a few coins here if you need one,” she said as she rummaged through her purse and handed me a quarter. “You lo

Jake has been here every day for the past week and I have been doing my very best to avoid him. It’s hard and I hate to say that I have not succeeded. At first I would leave the counter when I see him but he would wait outside until I finish my shift and I’m heading home so he can ask me out on a date. His persistence is actually cute and honestly if he wasn’t a Beta I could see myself going out with him but I am avoiding the werewolf world at all costs right now. The only thing that can take me back there would be to find my mate and as long as I stay here in this human town that chance is pretty much nonexistent. As usual he walked in by 2: 15 pm and I watched him as he picked up the same things he always does: eggs, milk, sugar, flour, cheese, bacon and watermelons. I already know his list by heart and he never misses a single thing any day and sometimes I wonder if he eats the same thing every day;

True to his words Jake has never bothered me for a date or anything romantic and he doesn’t come to the store every day anymore; he comes once a week- Tuesday to be exact. And although I didn’t ask why’ he offered up the information himself; he has to go back home every week because his “friend” needs him. I knew he couldn’t stay away from his pack for too long. In fact I wonder why his Alpha let him stay away this long in the first place. Father would have never allowed it. I pushed all thoughts of Jake out of my mind and focused on getting ready for the day but something didn’t feel right. I paused what I was doing to think about it then I realized- Greg wasn’t yelling at me to hurry up. “Greg,” I yelled as I poked my head out of the door, “Is everything okay?” Everywhere was quiet for a second and I was about to go looking for

“What talk?” I asked, “I didn’t talk to anyone.”         “Have you ever been told that you are a very shitty liar.” He said and I rolled my eyes. “You should stop trying because it’s funny trying to watch you lie when you obviously can’t.” “That is not true.” I said, “I would have you know that I am a very convincing liar.”          “Of course you are.” He began, “Rule number 1 sweetheart; never play denial as a first tactic especially when you’re a horrible liar; everyone expects it and it’s so painfully obvious that it’s sad.” “I am a good liar.”       “Whatever floats your boat sweetheart.” He said with a smile, “We all
