CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

Sebastian leaps back, but not before I’m able to graze his shoulder with the dagger.I can’t believe it. I’ve never attacked another person like this before. I never thought I’d be attacking Sebastian like this. But Lance and I need to get away, and I’ll do anything to make that happen.Sebastian howls in pain while Violet leaps at me. I spin around and defend myself with the dagger, only trying to injure them enough to get them off us. I just want to create space for us to leave. I don’t want to kill anyone.I will if I have to though. I realize that as I glance over at Lance who’s still trying to get the chains off. I’ll do whatever I need to do to protect him. Everyone’s so shocked, they freeze.That shock wears off quickly though, far too quickly. Sebastian comes back at me, but with the silver dagger, I’m able to defend myself. I stab his shoulder as he reaches for me.Panic clouds everything.There’s no coming back from this. I’ve attacked the Alpha. There’s no way I’

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

Somehow, an oasis has been formed among the thick canopy of leaves in the treetops. Boards have been placed down to connect the trees, with a bed of blankets, shoddy table, small bookshelf, and other simple, human comforts nestled there.Fireflies rest among the leaves, creating a natural light that illuminates everything. I’ve never seen anything like it before.“This is one of my homes,” Lance explains. “I have a couple hidden around the forest. You have to be careful as a rouge, trying to maintain the balance of living your life without being caught. It’s exhausting sometimes.”I feel bad that he’s had to live such an unstable life, but he’s certainly made the most of it. I can’t imagine how anyone could create something like this under such circumstances.“It’s beautiful,” I say.He shrugs though I can see he’s silently proud. “The home part doesn’t stretch on too far. I want to make sure I don’t get caught, of course. And that kind of thing would raise suspicion. “However

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

“I tried to fight it,” Lance says. “I tried my best. But it reached a point where I couldn’t any longer. I always thought I could try to go back, but she schemed to get some of the pack members to go after me as soon as I left. I’m lucky to still be alive.”“I’m so sorry that happened to you,” I whisper. “I can’t imagine something so awful. I’m just so grateful you escaped with your life. I’m so grateful you’re here with me.”“I’m grateful to be here with you,” he says, kissing my hand. “After everything I’ve been through, it’s all been worth it for this.”We kiss under the light of the fireflies. “It is,” I agree. “All the craziness of the last few days has been worth every moment just to find you.”We hold each other as if we can hug out all the pain from the world, from our past, and create a bright new future for us. As long as we’re together, I know we’ll be happy. I just need him by my side.“We’ll make an ever better life,” I assure him. “I would never hurt you like she d

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

“You’re incredible,” Lance whispers as he looks at me in my wolf form. I feel incredible. Now that I can shift and I have my mate, I’m complete. I’m alive in a way I wasn’t before. I’m happy in a way no one can touch.“So are you,” I say, as he shifts in front of me.Together as wolves we fit just as well as we do as humans.“I want to run,” I say. “I need to feel the forest floor beneath my feet. I need to test out what it’s like to be a wolf in my full form.”“We have to be careful,” he reminds me. “They’re going to come after us. We’re safer up here. We can’t risk getting caught.”I nod, disappointed. It’s the worst luck that I’ve shifted and found my mate during at time when we’re being hunted. It feels like I can’t enjoy this process in the same way I should be able to. It’s nothing like how I thought it’d be. But being with Lance is even more incredible than I imagine.“The boards still do stretch for a while though,” Lance relents. “Maybe we can run for just a little bit

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

“Good morning, love,” Lance says as gold light filters through the leaves above us.“Good morning,” I reply, kissing him as I lay across his chest. “I have an idea of what to do today.”“Is that so?” he asks, with an amused smile on his face.“Yeah. I’ve been thinking about last night a lot. You are the Alpha of your pack and you shouldn’t have been displaced from that. It’s not fair to you and it’s not fair to the pack you’re supposed to be leading.“Everyone knows that no one can lead as well as an Alpha can. Whoever has taken your place won’t be the proper fit. We have to do something about it.”“I agree,” Lance say. “But I’ve tried a few times to fix things. I can’t get even close to my old pack without being hunted down. I don’t know what to do anymore.”“That’s why, I think we need help,” I explain.“Help?” he asks. I nod. “It seems like the whole world is against us though. I can’t think of anyone who would want to help us right now.”“I know,” I admit. “It would be a ri

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

“What do you think they’ll say?” Lance asks as we walk towards my parents.“I don’t know,” I reply. “But I think it’ll be good. I think they’ll help.”Yet I grow a bit more apprehensive as we near them. My mother and father come across as very regal sort of people that are both comforting and intimidating to those around them.My father is tall, and though there are slight hints of silver in his hair, true aging hasn’t hit him yet. He’s still strong, his dark eyes are intense as ever, and commands a sort of respect just in the way he stands alone.My mother is a bit shorter than him, more elegant, faster. She gives off a nurturing aura but I’ve seen how tough she is. I wouldn’t want to make a foe of either of them.I won’t though. I’m their daughter. We’ve loved each other for my whole life. I can’t imagine them turning against me now. I can’t imagine them turning against me ever.“Rachel,” my mother says as I approach her. I want to rush forward and hug her, but they’re both s

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

Bones start shifting without me having to think about it. My parents watch me, amazed by seeing their daughter in wolf form for the first time. It’s nice that at least this time I can shift into wolf form. We have a much better chance of getting away. It hurts worse than before though. This time I’ve been betrayed by my own parents. They have to know what will happen to us if we’re caught. I understand that they have to protect the pack but…“Stay,” my mother pleads, true sadness and concern in her eyes. “Please. They’ll forgive you. Just give up the rouge. We’ll make everything better.”Of course, I love them. I really do. I’ve always loved my parents. It horrifies me that things have to go like this. But there’s no way I’m leaving Lance’s side. I wouldn’t give him up for anyone.“If you love me, help us get away,” I say.Then, I turn and Lance and I start running. We take off through the fields I once played in. We dart through the garden, tearing through flowers and plants

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

“I’m sorry,” he says. “I just can’t. I’ve tried a couple of times and I always get chased away. They hunt me down and…”The look of hurt on his face is too bright to ignore. I take his hand and kiss his cheek.“It’s so hard,” he admits. “I hate facing their rejection, their hatred, their fear of me. That was once my pack. Now, it’s like I’m this awful stranger they’re trying to be rid of. They look at me like I’m a monster.”“I understand that,” I say, thinking back to how both of the packs I was once part of view me now. “It’s so difficult. Being an outcast is lonely, painful, just awful.“But I’m here with you now. I know that doesn’t change everything, but it does mean you don’t have to face it on your own. We’re in this together. Maybe with me there, it’ll sting less.”“It would,” he admits. “Everything is better when you’re with me. But I also don’t want to drag you into more danger.”“I’m already in danger,” I point out. “We live in danger now. Each second of each day. We’r

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

“Why are you here?” Justin asks as soon as the door closes. “You were kicked out of the pack. It’s dangerous for you to be here.”“I know,” Lance admits. “But that’s why I’m here. I wanted to talk to you about what happened and see if you’d be willing to help me.”“I shouldn’t even be listening to you,” Justin replies, looking quite uneasy as he glances around his home. “I could get into so much trouble by not sounding the alarm right now. I should be trapping you. You are the most wanted man of this pack.”“I appreciate that you haven’t sounded the alarm yet,” Lance says. He seems hopeful and I am too. Despite all he’s said so far, it seems like Justin will be at least willing to hear Lance out.“I’m still debating if I should,” Justin admits.“Hear me out first, at least,” Lance asks. “Then, you can make that decision for yourself. There have been lies spread about me. I think you know that already. I think you’ve known that from the start. Let me set things straight. Let me tel

CHAPTER THIRTY

“You don’t understand,” Justin says, stepping forward, clearly worried about his brother.“It’s okay,” Lance replies as he glances at the group. It’s clear we don’t stand a chance against them. And if Lance fights them now, there’s no way he’ll be accepted back into the group. He simply can’t kill them. We’re stuck in this awful lose/lose situation. “He knows he’s at fault,” Kelsie says. “At least he’s finally come back to admit it. Looks like he brought someone with him this time too.”“Don’t touch her,” Lance says, the first time he really sounds threatening. “She has nothing to do with this. It’s me you want. Leave her alone.”Kelsie glares at me, then notices the mark on my neck. She shakes her head in disbelief.“This is your mate?” she asks. “Pathetic. You should’ve just stuck with me.“Ah, well. At least we got you both in one go. She’s clearly willing to stand by you, so we can’t have her running around and potentially messing up our plans. Take them both.”“Never,” Lan
