Chapter 11 – Grace The feeling of being watched settles on my body, my steps slowing as I slowly move away from the water and off the gravel lining the river shores. I have a feeling someone is stalking me like prey and if I need to protect myself, I would rather do it on solid ground and not on gravel slick from the river water. Something inside me screams that this person is not wolf, leaving only two options – Fae or Vampire. I prefer the Fae. Although I continue forward, I keep my senses alert for any movements that will come my way. If its Fae, I will have to stop moving and talk to them, reassure them I am not a threat and show them the token on my ear. If it is a vampire, I will have to be ready to fight to the death. The forest slowly quiets, the sounds of night life fading away until an earie silence is left. Taking a deep breath, I try to pinpoint where the threat is coming from, dodging backwards just in time for a black figure to come crashi

Chapter 13 – Grace The scent of the male reminds me of the situation I am in, how he has my body stuck between his and the tree. I curse myself for not paying attention and allowing my mind to wander. If I had kept a clear head, I would not be where I am now. “You smell delicious little girl.” He chuckles, his lips pressing against the crook of my neck as he takes in my scent. I shiver with disgust, waiting for the right moment to throw him off me. Hand begin to roam my body, staring from my thighs and ending at my breast, the wolf groping me as he rubs his erection against my ass. “I bet you like this baby. All my attention on your body. I bet you are just waiting to be fucked.” He chuckles, squeezing my breast one more time before his left hand descends from my breast and slowly down my abdomen, going lower until I feel him between my legs, rubbing small circles through the pants I am wearing. “Get horny for me gorgeous

Chapter 15 – Grace I groan, leaning against an oak tree as I try to think of where the hidden cave may be. An hour has already passed since I have mutilated that male who tried to rape me and I barely made it three kilometers away until the scent of dawn started blowing on the wind. Morning will be here soon and I will need to find a place to sleep for a few hours before I continue to race towards the lodge. But worry gnaws at me. I haven’t seen Amelia after her cage was carried away before the event started. I wonder if she too has found a place to hide and stay safe to avoid the males. Looking up at the still full moon in the sky, I question whether or not I should go and find her, to bring her along with me to the lodge and keep both of us unmated. This would definitely anger her father to have both me winning the bet and his only child unmated. I think back to Amelia and I studying the map a week before The Run began, how we planned to follow the ri

Chapter 17 – Grace The soft breeze rolls past me ruffling the heavy gown dawned on my small frame as I stare out into the field of moon flowers. The Blue forest is our safe haven from them, from the wolves that want us dead. I sigh, looking towards the man I am in love with, his gold hair now cut short just like my silver hair. Easier to hide. I wonder as I watch him skin our kill, the hide to be made into a blanket for the winter if we will ever be left alone to fulfill our destiny… My eyes open slowly as the dream fades away. It is the same woman and man from before and I wonder who it is that has been sending them to me. I haven’t dreamt of the Lady from long ago since the Alpha caged me, happy to not be interrupted by them. But now I wonder if they will start again. A strong yet gentle arm is wrapped around me and the warmth from the body makes me feel calm and comfortable. I smile, thinking that I could get used to the scent of the forest in winte

Chapter 19 – Grace I sit at the entrance of the cave, the sound of rushing water drowning out anything the quiet night may hide. My eyes are closed and as I take a deep breath, I open my senses to the surroundings and search for any wolves near us. “We should be good to run soon.” I state, opening my eyes and turning back to look at Caden in his golden wolf form and Amelia with her blonde fur slightly damp from the mist of the waterfall. His green eyes meet mine and I quickly turn away, hoping that I am not blushing as I stand and drop the blanket that is covering me. I shift quickly, my bones realigning themselves until I stand in my fur form. We lost time waiting out the Ragers and now we need to gain it back by executing our plans. Picking up my bag in my mouth, I nod to my companions before jumping into the water and padding towards the shore with the sounds of Caden and Amelia following me as they both splash into the water. I roll my eyes, thinkin
