With a jerk Kai sat up in bed, his breath leaving his mouth in gasps of fear. He looked around him. His eyes darted wildly around the space he was in. He only calmed down as soon as he found out it was just his room. Fuck. Kai rubbed at his face as he tried to get his breathing under control. The dreams had started again. Like something that was returning from the pits of hell. Ever since his encounter with Rudolf they had returned slowly at first but this night was the most violent of them all. He took a deep breath and moved over to the edge of the bed, rubbing his temple slowly in semi circles. Three years. That amount of time should have been enough for him to put the past behind him. Yet the reverse was the case. It was apparent now that he hadn't forgotten any of the demons that plagued him. The dream was always the same. He was in the woods, as a human and he was being hunted. Not by humans like him but by wolves and in that dream he had recognised one of the wolves.

It was a strange dream. The last time she had it was five years ago and ever since then the dream hadn't recurred.Seeing herself in the environment again was like a jolt to her. How did she know it was a dream though?She always felt so distant from what was happening. The events were there unfolding before her eyes but rather it felt like she was looking at it through a mirror.A distant mirror, unable to do anything but just watch.Delilah was in the woods again. She was barefoot and the dry leaves and snapped twigs poked at her exposed flesh.In front of her she could see lights in the distance, orange flickering lights that led her to believe it was camp fires.In the dream she was always drawn to the light. It called her like a bulb would call to a moth after a downpour.Delilah walked toward the light her whole concentration fixed on getting to the light.No other thing in the woods mattered at that moment except reaching the source of that light.She walked on and after a few

When Delilah opened her eyes she couldn't move. Everything hurt.It felt like a million little pins were being driven into her body at that moment.She just lay on her back her eyes open, string at the ceiling of the room.Tears were streaming down from her eyes and no matter how much she blinked them back they kept flowing freely like a running tap. Delilah tried to lift her back from the ground bit a sharp pain lanced through her skull making her wince in pain as she settle snack on the ground.She didn't want to look at her body afraid of the marks she would see there. Afraid of the scars that would be left behind by Kaye's maltreatment.It was better not to look at them at that instant. Anything was better than a reminder of how weak and helpless she was against wolves.Against the same kind she had been born into.Life was cruel and in some way she had come to terms with that.Maybe Kate had been right all along, maybe she was never destined to be happy, maybe she was going to k

The rest of the day Delilah had spent it looking through the windows of every room in the pack Manor.She discovered two things.One, under every window was a ledge that was wide enough for someone to walk on top. Two escape were going to be as difficult as she thought.But she was determined to do it. She wasn't going to spend another day in this manor…in this pack.After taking Kate's kicks she had gone through the rest of her days duties without a word.The jerring and taunting from the pack wolves who knew she was wolf less didn't bother her again. All Delilah fixed her concentration on was the eventual escape.She thought about it, daydreamt of it. She could even taste it.Soon the sun was setting and the sky was turning grey. After her day's work of serving Kate like a beast of burden she retired to her room exhausted but ready.Delilah quickly went ahead to pack her things. She didn't own much so fortunately that wasn't a problem.After she was done packing came the difficult p

Kai thundered through the forest his wolf moving deftly between tress like it was doing it for practice.Ever since he escaped from the pack three years ago he had trained himself and his wolf to be faster, better and stronger. It was the punishment he had willed upon himself for allowing his pack to use him the way they had done.He could feel the woman on his back. He had placed her perfectly in such a position that she wouldn't fall or slip off his back no matter the speed he ran with.Kai's primary objective now was to get her out of this woods, he knew he could do it. He knew these woods better than the people that were hunting her.He was faster them but they were hunting as a pack and there was power when a pack hunted as one.The had circled the whole forest, he could pick their scent in the air. It was going to be difficult to escape with her but not impossible.Again Kai wondered why he had decided to help, he wasn't keen in throwing himself into this kind of situations. Th
