Chapter 26
Ryder's P.O.V
The nightmares starting again made me wonder more about what had happened with her before I had found her running from the doctor and his wife. Keeping tabs on the news of the little town I know that some hunter had found their bodies in the woods with their hearts ripped out of their bodies and a blood trail leading to a stream where it ends.
They never found anything to tie the murders to anyone. I also read about a man who was found behind a dumpster in the same condition as the doctor and his wife although he had a bit more damage done to his privates.
The local police haven't found any clues and are asking anyone who knows anything about this to come forward. I didn't know whether to think that this is the work of either the rebellion people following or the people following and searching for Dora but I knew we were being followed a lot closer than usual and that I didn't know whether we were safe anymore.

Mary sat down in the chair opposite me looking at the coffee pot on the table and the amount missing from it."Wow. Did we have some sort of party going on last night? I'm tired, you have drunk almost the whole pot of coffee and Dora is still asleep in bed? What did we do?""I wish it was a party. I wish it was anything else than you waking us all up screaming at the top of your lungs because of the nightmares being back again. I wish you would just talk to me so that I can help you and get you going back to sleeping through the whole night so that I don't have to sit here drinking the entire coffee pot because I had only two hours of solid sleep the night before."I took a swig from the coffee mug before looking up and continuing."I know it's not your fault and that the nightmares are triggered by something but just like we did when you were little I need to know what so I can help you get rid of them for good. We can't keep waking up multip

Mary's P.O.V"Maybe it's time to fast forward the plan?"What did he mean by fast-forwarding the plan? What plan did he have that Dora was aware of but I have not been informed about?"Are you sure you want to do that? She is definitely not ready for that. She won't be able to handle everything and losing you at the same time could mean that she would crack and be lost forever. I don't agree with you but you are the one in charge of her care so if you think this is best then that it is."What did Dora mean by me losing Dad? Was he going to leave me somewhere because I was not behaving like he wanted me to? Did he get some news about his health that he has not yet informed me of yet? Was he dying? Is that what Dora meant by me losing Dad?I didn't know what to think and I definitely didn't know how to handle losing Dad. He has been the only constant thing in my entire life and I haven't had anyone else other than him and Dora

Dora's P.O.VI don't know whether Ryder's idea to fast-forward the plan is going to work. She is fourteen years old and not ready to be thrown into the chaos of war and trouble between different parts of packs. I'm scared Ryder will be making hasty decisions because he is hurt by the fact that she had been lying to him about her whereabouts when she went out the last few months.I'm not someone to interfere with other people's teaching techniques regarding their children. I would hate if everyone would interfere and complain and comment on my parenting skills when one day I find my mate. Thinking of my mate made that dull ache in my heart that's always there just flare up a little more. I had been searching for him for the last eight years. Whenever we moved to another location I would take the first two days and just go around the city looking around and searching for him hoping and praying to whoever was listening to me that he would be there and that I could f

Mary's P.O.VShopping and just getting out of the house felt good. Dora, of course, made it a lot of fun and with Dad fast asleep we had more than enough time to go into each and every clothing store we wanted and try on anything we liked without having someone breathing down our necks, whining that he wants to go home.I don't think I have smiled as much as I had today in a very long time. It made me feel a little better and honestly a little lighter. Dora did try and get me to talk to her but I wasn't ready to spill everything yet. I first wanted to try and make some sense of it first and then when I believe that I have everything figured out I will ask Dad and Dora and sit down at the table with them and tell them everything that I had figured out up till then.Exhausted and with a lot more than we went out to buy we walked into the kitchen laughing. We forgot to be as quiet as possible not thinking that sleeping beauty would still be at the table

Ryder's P.O.VWaking up from the noise I felt my neck had gone stiff from falling asleep at the kitchen table. Remembering that Dora had asked me to go with her to the shops I jumped up to go and get ready only to see that it was them making the noise from putting the bags down. It looked like she and Mary had already gone to the shops and judging from the amount of bags they went into each and every store as they usually do when I do not go with them."Did you girls at least have fun along with all the work I see has been purchased for us?"Mary got that adorable smile she always used to show us on her face for the first time in the last while and it just made me feel a little happier that she and Dora went out and had some time together away from me. I was also hoping that maybe she had gotten something from Mary."Maybe. Most of it is not any work for you but more for me and Dora anyways."She took some of the bags from the tab

Dora and I made snacks and dinner for the games night beforehand so that we could just eat whenever we were hungry throughout the play. Mary usually only ate bits here and there so usually dinner on games night is something that you are able to eat without it getting cold and falling apart when you leave it for a while before returning to it.I haven't seen or heard from Mary after the hug but I knew she would not go anywhere and join us for the games night tonight because she agreed to it and she seems to be happier these few days since the move. I did hear her in the study a little earlier so I assumed that she had been looking up where and what the town has to offer other than what she and Dora saw when they went shopping.I know that she loves to go and sit in the library sometimes because the librarian from most of the other towns would call me and tell me that she had been sitting there reading for hours and that she was safe in case I had been worryi

Two years laterMary's P.O.VA whole week before it's my birthday. My sweet sixteen as it's more commonly known. I know Dad and Dora are planning something because they have been so secretive lately and each time I walked into the room they stopped talking only to continue with something that I really do not believe is what they were talking about beforehand.I already know what my wish is going to be when I get the chance to blow out the candles on my cake that Dad has never failed to make me. I'm going to wish that I do not blackout anymore and when I wake up I'm covered in blood and sometimes other human body parts. It's usually when Dad and I have had a run-in with each other when he doesn't want to let me go out with the little friends that I happen to make whenever we move to a new town.I really thought that the moving around would stop once I had gotten older but in fact, it had only caused it to get more frequent. I don't kno

Dad and Dora visibly relaxed after I told them what I thought they wanted to say to me. I knew this could not be the adventure planned for my birthday unless we would be having lunch on some mountainside somewhere. Dad must have seen me looking at the picnic basket because he chuckled before taking the basket and motioning for me and Dora to follow him. "This is not your birthday adventure. I just wanted to have a family picnic somewhere quiet before your friends take you away from home for their birthday celebrations that they probably would want to have with you. I don't only want to be able to spend time with you again on or even after your birthday." He could sometimes get so sentimental with me that I would be in tears. "Family outing. I got it. I want to go and get changed into some better shoes. Meet you guys outside?"Standing outside the kitchen door I listened to Dad and Dora talking again. Dad mentioned something to her that he would in fact be telling me today and that
