Can't Run Can't Hide By Lee Williams Novels & Stories

Leah said, hoping to convince Perry to turn around. Perry did not answer her. He drove even faster as he headed toward the mountains. His secret hideout was one of the mansions he owned. The car drove through the opened gate and into the garage. When the gate closed, Leah lost the only chance to escape. Her expressions darkened. There was nothing she could do. “What are you doing?!” Leah refused to get out of the car. “You should really listen to me. The gate is closed and no matter how loud you shout, no one will save you,” Perry said as he stared at Leah with a frantic gaze.

I want to run and hide somewhere but I have no clothes and nowhere to hide. I can’t take all the looks they are giving me and they must see it too as they all glance at each other. I take that as y chance to throw myself off the lounge and bolt into the bathroom. The door is half off the hinges but it’s the only place for me right now. I shove the door closed as best as I can I slide down the door and hug my knees, The thoughts of rejection start circling in my head.

“If he takes over… he’ll kill you. Run. Hide from me. Get Cris. He’s the only one he’ll listen to.” Every instinct in me wanted to stay. To be strong. To prove I wasn’t weak like before.To prove I wasn’t like Lucy. But every bone in my body screamed RUN. So I did. I ran like a coward

“You didn’t know what you were doing? Alister, quit the pretense! I know exactly what you are plotting!” “I was just trying—” I started to say, but he cut in again. “So where are you hiding?” he asked angrily. “My hideout... somewhere,” I replied, and he snorted from the other end. “You must be stupid to think you’re invisible. You think that’s a perfect idea? You think you can’t be found if he wants to? His wolves move like shadows. They don’t knock. They don’t ask. And now your name makes it onto his list... well, you’d better start digging, because that coffin won’t build itself.” He chuckled darkly from the other end.

As if the world was against me, his eyes met mine and thanks to the godforsaken street lights that could rival heaven's gate, he saw it was me. I started to back away when he walked toward me and without wasting any more seconds, I started to run. I ran, not looking back. I wanted to scream for help but that would mean drawing unwanted attention to myself and my life. People would ask why I screamed and who he was, and that would lead into our secret getting exposed. So, I had to run in silence until I got back to Lee's place. As I ran, I hit the back of my foot and toppled over it then landed on the ground. I hissed when my elbow scrubbed the tarred road. I tried to stand but couldn't. The

“Return to the place where the Moon first touched your line — the Valley of Echoes. There, under the full Moon, the truth will reveal itself. But beware, for the council already searches. One of them rides even now through the forest to end what began centuries ago.” The light faded. The tower fell silent again. Aria stood motionless for a moment, her heart racing. She looked down at her hands, still glowing faintly. She had wanted to hide, to run until the world forgot her name. But now she understood. The council would never stop hunting them. The only way to end this was to face the truth head-on. She knelt beside Liam and brushed his hair from his face. “I will protect you, my heart. Eve

Her eyes glimmered with a mix of fear and defiance, the flame and the darkness swirling together in a luminous storm beneath her skin, reflecting the struggle within. A sudden chill rippled through the room, brushing across her shoulders, wrapping around her spine like icy fingers. One shadow, taller and more solid than the rest, detached from the corners of the room, stepping forward with deliberate precision. It didn’t attack, yet its presence was heavier than the air around it, pressing into her mind with whispers that danced on the edges of comprehension. You cannot hide. You cannot resist. You are ours, yet we will teach you. The words were a threat, a promise, and an invitation all at

The door creaked open and I quickly hid the oil before Conrad could see it. "What?" I asked when I found him intensely staring at me. "What were you hiding just now?" he demanded, his voice dripping with suspicion. "And how is that any of your business?" I retorted, my hatred spitting out the words like venom. "It's really not my business," he sneered, taking a menacing step forward. "But whatever it is that you're hiding won't save you from me. I'm going to absolutely break you, Louis. You still have a choice... leave Moonreign Academy and crawl back to your castle."

“This is not a game, Oscar. These men are dangerous and they will kill you if they find you.” “They will have to find me first though, won’t they? I can hide very well, but can you?” the thug chided. “What? Are you afraid they’ll find out about your little secrets?” Leon hesitated, then he asked, “What secrets do I have to hide?”

I don’t trust myself in that car. I’ve been thinking about it. The weight of the gun in the glove box. The silence between exits. The way his voice grates on me like sandpaper on bone. I could end it. One sharp turn. One loud bang. And maybe then the noise in my head would finally stop. But I won’t. Not yet. The Run is tonight. I’ve got to hold it together long enough to make it through. Long enough to prove I’m not the weak link. Long enough to remind them all that Liam isn’t done.
