Chapter 10 – Caden I watch with worry as the sky begins to brighten, realizing just how close daylight is. Amelia and I had found the river about an hour ago, walking along the stream up river in hopes of finding Grace. It seems like this petite blonde did not want to give up until we found her friend. But no matter my protest on needing to find shelter, Amelia just keeps going, her resolve stronger than most wolves I have ever met. “Amelia, we need to find somewhere to sleep before we fall from exhaustion.” I state for the umpteenth time, intending to pull the she-wolf to a stop just as she slips, her body falling fast. Luckily, I grab her, pulling her body to mine and see the exhaustion on her face that she kept hidden from my view. “Just a little longer.” She pleads and I sigh, lifting the woman into my arms and moving forward. “If I find a hiding spot before we find Grace, we are going to rest. You say Grace is smart
Chapter 11 – Grace The feeling of being watched settles on my body, my steps slowing as I slowly move away from the water and off the gravel lining the river shores. I have a feeling someone is stalking me like prey and if I need to protect myself, I would rather do it on solid ground and not on gravel slick from the river water. Something inside me screams that this person is not wolf, leaving only two options – Fae or Vampire. I prefer the Fae. Although I continue forward, I keep my senses alert for any movements that will come my way. If its Fae, I will have to stop moving and talk to them, reassure them I am not a threat and show them the token on my ear. If it is a vampire, I will have to be ready to fight to the death. The forest slowly quiets, the sounds of night life fading away until an earie silence is left. Taking a deep breath, I try to pinpoint where the threat is coming from, dodging backwards just in time for a black figure to come crashi
Chapter 12 – Caden The sounds of night animals has me waking, realizing that Amelia is wrapped around me. With a sigh, I slowly pry the she-wolf’s grip from my body and climb off the mattress to stretch and see what the sky outside looks like. Walking out of the cave, I lean against the entrance and scan my surroundings, keeping my senses alert for any signs of movement before turning my gaze to the twilight sky. It looks as if the sun has just set meaning now will be a good time to continue on foot. Amelia and I will be safe from the wolves looking for a mate and I have no intentions of allowing any male to touch this she-wolf. Making my way back inside, I spot Amelia now curled into a ball on the mattress, making me chuckle as I think about how vulnerable this she-wolf is. She is lucky I am the one to have run into her and not some other wolf as she would have been claimed by now with how heavy of a sleeper she is. “Amelia, its time to
Chapter 13 – Grace The scent of the male reminds me of the situation I am in, how he has my body stuck between his and the tree. I curse myself for not paying attention and allowing my mind to wander. If I had kept a clear head, I would not be where I am now. “You smell delicious little girl.” He chuckles, his lips pressing against the crook of my neck as he takes in my scent. I shiver with disgust, waiting for the right moment to throw him off me. Hand begin to roam my body, staring from my thighs and ending at my breast, the wolf groping me as he rubs his erection against my ass. “I bet you like this baby. All my attention on your body. I bet you are just waiting to be fucked.” He chuckles, squeezing my breast one more time before his left hand descends from my breast and slowly down my abdomen, going lower until I feel him between my legs, rubbing small circles through the pants I am wearing. “Get horny for me gorgeous
Chapter 14 – Caden The cry of a male echoing through the night causes my steps to faulter. I have never heard such a blood curdling scream before and the only thing I can think of is that this male most likely messed with the wrong she-wolf. Amelia chuckles, her eyes holding a hint of blood thirsty-ness to it and I roll my eyes at her. "Seems like some one is fighting a she-wolf and lost." She states, continuing forward. We come to the riverside once more and keep walking in silence with only the sound of the river sounding beside us. We kept talking to a minimum, not wanting to attract any attention to us in case others come to investigate that scream. “I have a feeling we are getting closer to where that scream came from.” I point out, Amelia nodding in response. “I agree. Which means there is another she-wolf in the are.” She sighs out. Looking at her from the corner of my eye, I see a hint of sadness in her face. I wo
Chapter 15 – Grace I groan, leaning against an oak tree as I try to think of where the hidden cave may be. An hour has already passed since I have mutilated that male who tried to rape me and I barely made it three kilometers away until the scent of dawn started blowing on the wind. Morning will be here soon and I will need to find a place to sleep for a few hours before I continue to race towards the lodge. But worry gnaws at me. I haven’t seen Amelia after her cage was carried away before the event started. I wonder if she too has found a place to hide and stay safe to avoid the males. Looking up at the still full moon in the sky, I question whether or not I should go and find her, to bring her along with me to the lodge and keep both of us unmated. This would definitely anger her father to have both me winning the bet and his only child unmated. I think back to Amelia and I studying the map a week before The Run began, how we planned to follow the ri
Chapter 16 – Caden "Grace he isn't going to hurt me." I hear Amelia say in a low whisper to Grace. I keep my body still and stay as calm as I can with a large, deadly and powerful she wolf above me. I wince as she growls, her teeth grazing my skin uncomfortably but she isn't going for the kill - yet. Amelia seems to be able to calm the angry wolf above me as the sharp teeth retreat from my neck and the slight pressure I felt pulls back giving me space to breath. Who knew that Grace could have so much power in her blood that it could cause me to have a hard time breathing. "Grace, Caden has been helping me find you and keeping me safe from other wolves. You can trust him." Amelia continues, putting a good word in for me. I thank the Goddess that I met Amelia first. Without her, I don’t think I would be left uninjured if I met Grace alone. I supress the chuckle that wants to leave my lips when I think about how I met Amelia, the blonde tackling me to th
Chapter 17 – Grace The soft breeze rolls past me ruffling the heavy gown dawned on my small frame as I stare out into the field of moon flowers. The Blue forest is our safe haven from them, from the wolves that want us dead. I sigh, looking towards the man I am in love with, his gold hair now cut short just like my silver hair. Easier to hide. I wonder as I watch him skin our kill, the hide to be made into a blanket for the winter if we will ever be left alone to fulfill our destiny… My eyes open slowly as the dream fades away. It is the same woman and man from before and I wonder who it is that has been sending them to me. I haven’t dreamt of the Lady from long ago since the Alpha caged me, happy to not be interrupted by them. But now I wonder if they will start again. A strong yet gentle arm is wrapped around me and the warmth from the body makes me feel calm and comfortable. I smile, thinking that I could get used to the scent of the forest in winte
