All Chapters of Running away to Destiny: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 1: Lilly pov.“So, when are you going to turn me?” I asked Brent casually. I know it's anything but lighthearted. I've asked him a few times since Claire was born, but his answer remains the same. No, it's dangerous. But there has to be a way to convince him, right? So now, I'm going for the casual approach. Not that it works because he answers, "No, Lilly. I've said it before. It's dangerous." His voice sounds irritated."But Brent! How will it be when Claire grows up? When she gets her wolf? How am I supposed to help and understand her if I don't know what she is going through? Why don't you understand that this is important to me?" I cross my arms and look at him intently. He mimics my face and says, "Don't you think she would rather have a mother who is human, than no mother at all?" When I don't say anything, he continues. "It's just too risky." I throw my hands up in frustration. “Maybe I'm willing to take that risk!” Deep down, I know that's not entirely true; I would ne

Chapter 3As I slowly, but surely regain consciousness, I vaguely realize that I am in a bed. I open my eyes, but I don't immediately recognize the surroundings. Frightened, I look around, then it dawns on me that I am in my old bedroom. Memories of what happened earlier starting to come back. Different feelings rush through my body. Shock, anger, sadness. As my eyes fill with tears at the emptiness I feel from losing Brent, I think of Claire. I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and want to get up. As soon as I stand up, I feel light-headed. That must be because of the narcotic Alex hit me with—asshole.When the dizziness in my head goes away, I make another attempt to get up. This time, I make sure to do it slowly. I carefully walk to the door on the other side of the room.Contrary to all my expectations, it is open. I stick my head out. There is no one to be seen. I quietly close the door and walk to my old desk, where I saw my phone. When I look at the time, I see that it is j

Chapter 5The airport is hectic, and I'm staring at a map to see which way to go. I can't find Lastgrove, and without a phone, I can't look it up either. Maybe throwing my phone out the window wasn't the best idea after all.When I turn to walk to the information desk, a big guy almost knocks me over. “I'm terribly sorry, are you okay?” He says before I can snap at him. I check to see if Claire is okay. She looks at him with admiring eyes. She seems to find him very fanatic. "We're okay," I answer as I take him in. I can't put my finger on it, but there's something about him that seems familiar. Claire continues to stare at him. He gives her a small smile, and she giggles. He looks from her to me, and for a moment, there is surprise in his eyes. "Can I help you? You look like you don't know where to go." He says and takes Claire's hand, which she has extended to him in the meantime. I'm taken aback for a moment; she likes attention, but this is somehow different. Could he be a wolf, t

Chapter 7After a long night, with little sleep, I am woken up early in the morning by Claire.Once I convinced the others, and they me, last night, Beth suggested we continue the conversation at the kitchen table so that Claire could sleep peacefully.I was still suspicious myself, because what if they were just pretending and still wanted to take Claire away from me?Fortunately, Bruce understood my distrust, and it took a long time for me to let the wall around me crumble. Little by little, I started to trust them again, and vice versa.We talked until late at night. I told them in detail about Brent and what it was like for me as a human to be mated with a wolf, what our life was like, about my family and what they did. I cried, and surprisingly, Lucy cried with me. Halfway through the evening, she turned 180 degrees and mainly sympathized with me. I hardly dared to think so because I didn't want to rush things too much, but it even seemed like she was trying to be my friend.Stra

Chapter 9When we return to the B&B, Claire is sleeping, the outside air has made her sleepy. Since she seems fast asleep, I leave her in the stroller. We walk to the kitchen, where Beth and Lucy look at us quizzically as soon as they spot us."Hey Lucy, how nice to see you again," I say with a smile as if I don't see her disapproving look at Bruce. It shouldn't, but it stings. A feeling of uncertainty overtakes me. Why is she looking at him like that? Because I'm human? Does she disapprove of her brother being with someone like me? A single mother? In my mind, I scold myself. It shouldn't matter because I don't look at him that way. And besides, maybe she gives him that look because she thinks he's not good enough for me, with his man-whore behavior. I immediately feel sorry for him, if only they knew what was really going on.I park Claire to the side and sit at the table. "So, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be working at daycare?" I ask to divert Bruce's attention. She looks a
