His eyes softened. And I want you in my new life. If you’ll stay. Larris throat tightened. I'm not a good man. You became good for me, she whispered. He shut his eyes, overwhelmed. When he opened them again, he whispered. I’ll stay. EPILOGUE THE RUNAWAY BRIDE WHO CHOSE HERSELF Months later, Teresa stood on a balcony overlooking Greyfall City. The wind carried the scent of rain, but this time, she wasn’t running.

I force my wobbly legs to move, as I walk to Mark´s car. I rub my sweaty palms together and take a deep breath. “Are you okay? Why are you shivering?” Mark asks immediately after I enter. “Just drive Mark.” I manage to say, holding my chest tightly. “Are you sure about this Sloane?” Mark´s gaze meets mine. “There is no going back once we leave this place.” “Yes Mark, I am sure.” I force a reassuring smile. I must leave this city Rowan before notices. Not like he would care, but my parents and his grandpa definitely will. I can’t let anyone stop me from starting afresh. I must do this for myself. Every step away from that house feels like healing, and heartbreak.

This is the first time this has happened to me, but I have no time to worry about it. Then I run, even more, taking advantage of the fact that I can see, without looking back, avoiding rocks and trees so fast that I don't understand how I do it. Behind me, there are noises of an animal, but it must be my imagination or so I hope with all my forces.

I run out of the room so fast, I fail to notice someone in the hallway in time, so I end up slamming into a muscular wall. “Hey, sister-in-law! Take it easy. Where are you going in that beautiful handmade dress?” taunts Dawson. I pull the fabric up to my chest; I think the sheet covers even part of my throat. I blush from head to toe. He’s the last person I would have wanted to meet in the hallway in this shape. I should have thought things through before I ran away. It’s all his fault, or at least partly his fault. It’s Dawson’s fault. If he didn’t have a twin with whom it was possible to confuse him, Darío would have believed me and trusted my words, or maybe not.

"Never have." "Why do you care?" I snapped, anger finally breaking through my grief. "Shouldn't you be terrorizing freshmen or whatever it is you do?" He laughed, the sound rich and dangerous. "Now that's more like it. Better angry than broken, sweetheart." He straightened, his impressive height casting a shadow over me. "And I'm more interested in terrorizing those who deserve it." Everyone knew the twins' rivalry ran deep. Noxon's rejection of the Alpha title had created a rift that grew wider each year. While Nathan played politics, Noxon built his own following, wolves who shared his vision of breaking away from traditional pack structures.

He set the drink down on the table before sitting next to it. “Explain.” “The people I grew up with in that barn, have formed a group of their own. They’re called the barnyard wolves, they’re one of the many rogue groups attacking my pack and perhaps the other packs in the four regions.” “Gosh, are they okay?” “Don’t worry about them. Berney, Scott, and Elias have decided to kill every single one of them.” I slapped a hand over my mouth to cover the loud gasp that came out. “That is so fucking vile. Why? It’s not their fault.”

---------- In the bustling city somewhere in America, Phoebe is seated inside the Starbucks quietly enjoying her coffee. "Have you heard? The Beischel's Heiress is actually the reason why the well known Nikholas Fairbourne suddenly disappeared." Phoebe was about to take a sip in her cappuccino when a woman's voice from the table behind her stopped her midway. With the mention of that familiar name, her heart actually beat erratically. "What do you mean?" another woman's voice. "Well, can you believe it? He was actually engaged with the young Beischel, but the heiress suddenly ran away. He must've been so heartbroken and humiliated that he hid from public." the first one once again gossiped.

Then, there is a shift in the air. The moon begins to ascend into the sky, climbing higher and higher signalling the time is near. Co-ordinators of The Run – mated wolves whose job is to keep us safe – climb onto the cages keeping the problem females captive. They are waiting for the gun shot to release us. Thankfully, the wind is blowing softly from behind us. I could not get any luckier with nature on my side. With my scent blowing away from the males and deep into the forest, I will be able to get away quickly and find a hiding spot that hopefully has gear or food for me to take. With a grin, I slowly climb to my feet and lazily stretch, preparing my body to run because my life depends on

"The men charged at us with all their might, weapons in their arms, blood and sweat adorned their faces. As they drew closer, I could feel it in my bones, there were no souls left. I ordered everyone to fall back. Seven of us had flown a few feet high, seconds before the inhumane beasts could strike. My three former Angels perished at the hands of those vile creatures. They devoured them as if they were caramel cookies. Limbs were torn apart, as the savage beasts clawed at their bodies,fighting over what was left over. In the end we watched from a nearby tree, the last feather dissolve into dust." A tear dripped from Connors eye as his heart sank. The emotion of pain and guilt pecked at his
