chapter 19

I wake up to birds chirping. I'm freezing laying in the bushes naked. I use my wolf hearing to see if I

can hear anyone else around me. I concentrate as much as I can, and I hear leaves ruffling. I can't

tell if its from people walking, animals, or simply just the wind. I'm terrified to move knowing that if

the Alpha finds me there will be hell to pay. Getting caught means I might never have the chance to

escape him again.

As I hide in the bushes I hear nothing for what seems to be hours, so I decide to get up from my

spot. I'm hungry and dehydrated. I won't be able to run as fast now until I eat and drink. Jazz

responds, "Go into your wolf form, and I'll catch us something to eat.”

I ask, "Wait, how are we going to cook it?"

Jazz laughs, "We aren't going to. I'm going to kill it and eat it ."

"Eeww," I respond.

"You won't think that when I'm done.” I decide to shift letting Jazz take over. She catches a bunny.

As we are ripping through the fur and flesh it's delicious; mind blowingly delicious. I get so

overwhelmed with excitement I howl. "Oh fuck! I'm sorry! We need to go just in case someone else

heard that.”

I start running terrified that someone heard me. Jazz said, "Keep clam and concentrate on running,”

so I do.

All of a sudden I feel a big pinch in my side. I look and it's a dart. Son of a bitch! I say to Jazz, "I got

us caught! I'm sorry."

I collapse and I see a man walking up to me saying, "Hey, she is worth a hell of a lot of money,” then

they high five and I'm out.

As I start coming to I feel like I'm over someone's shoulder. I listen to them. They're talking to each

other. I hear them say, "She should be out for a couple of hours before the Alpha gets here.”

That's when I smile and say, "Are you ready Jazz?"

She responds, "Ready when you are.” I do a back flip off of the mans shoulder and turn in to my

wolf form. I let Jazz take off, and we run as fast as we possible can.

Thinking of my freedom is my drive to go as fast as I can. "I see a pond Jazz. We need to go get a

drink of water if we want to keep going.”

After getting a drink I turn into my human form. I swim in the pond trying to get them off my scent

and I love to be in the water. When I was younger my parents couldn't keep me out of the water I

loved it so much. As I float on my back I'm completely relaxed. Thinking how much I was loved, how

they sacrificed their lives for me, and no matter what I will never stop fighting to live my life by my

own terms. Free.

By mistake not knowing really any of the werewolf traiditions when I stepped off the Alpha's

territory I stepped on some elses. When I get to the end of the pond I see a house and lots of

people. "Oh shit! Jazz we are in trouble. How do we get out of here without being seen?”

"Sabrina, I'm not really sure what to tell you to do. Here we can't go backwards only forwards."

"There must be a reward for my return. Those men said I'm worth a nice reward. That's going to

make it harder for us now."

I wait for it to get dark so I can just try to run right through. I see lights and hear the voice that

haunts my dreams. It's the Alpha. His deep stern voice sends chills through my hole body. "Jazz

what do we do?"

"Just stay right where we are. Don't move and don't breath.” I try my hardest not to make a sound. I

see him talking to someone. I try to listen in, but I can't focus. There is too much fear running

through my veins.

Jazz responds, "Sabrina, get it together and save your energy. You are going to need it for a plan to

get out of here without getting caught.”

He starts walking over by where I'm hiding and says, "Sabrina I know you are around this area and

you will be found. If you give yourself up there won't be any consequences, but if you make me find

you there will be consequences. You have 5 minutes to decide about it."

I'm by the pond. It's so dark I can't see anything. I quietly climb back into the water and go under. I

swim underneath the water trying to stay as quiet as possible to swim to the other side. Once I get

to the other side all I can see is flash lights everywhere. People are searching for me. Then I hear the

most dreadful sound thinking, "Pease! No, not him,” and its the Alpha.

He looks at me and says, "There you are my sweet Sabrina.” I turn around and see his red eyes. I

shift into my wolf form and take off. I give it all I've got hoping it's enough, but then I hear him

laugh. He shifts, and he is right behind me. He gets up beside me and tackles me. We roll on the

ground and I try to escape him, but he put his teeth into my neck. I stop then I shift back to my

human form hoping his wolf kills me.
