You Weren't Supposed To Leave Novels & Stories

Does that mean Alpha Luke is going to come too? No. I need to leave!

But I didn't want to leave, at least not yet! ‡ ‡ ‡ ‡ ‡ ‡

"Do you?" "I know it's you." Wait. No. That was supposed to be a thought. He wasn't supposed to say that out loud. He was supposed to be convincing him to leave so that he didn't get marked.

It was time to strike. “There’s actually a reason I shared this information with both of you.” Mike's face turned pale. “What reason?” “I want to leave.” Silence followed then Mike spoke. “Leave the mansion? Or the estate?” “No, leave the Pack.” They both stared at me, horrified. “But that’s impossible.

A dream Ethel held dear to her heart that came to life… until I walked back in and shattered the illusion. “You weren’t supposed to leave the house,” I say, but there’s no bite in my words. “It’s not safe.” “She’s just a little girl. I couldn’t keep her cooped up inside all day every day.” “No. And, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to leave again.” “And go where?” “Not far this time,” I say.
