Running away should feel normal. But it doesn't. Running away was the only thing I could do. I was the daughter of the richest family in history. Knowing everything could be worse from here on out if I returned back to where I was running from. I had been doing this to escape my abuser. The only place I felt safe was a spot far, far into the mountains. Staring ahead while I continued my run, but I ended up coming out of breath.

Wishing for a better future. HE was not going to be a part of my future . He wouldn't get anywhere close to me. Never again. Hearing his yells from the house all the way down the pathway where I had come from. He was yelling for me to return immediately. But I refused him and continued up the now cold and steep mountain. If I didn't know any better, I wouldn't have made it all the way up in the cold. I was running with no shoes on. Am I crazy? Why yes. I happen to be crazy. Because it's cold outside. In the middle of December. It was the end of the year. The end of something old and the start of another new year. Each year. I always end up going back to the same guy. Riley Augustine. I was only nineteen and dealing with such stress for as long as I could remember.

But he was still shouting at me to return and I once again refused because, duh, my abuser. I wasn't just some normal girl. I was trapped in an engagement with someone who I didn't love. I was told I should learn to love him. But I simply can't digest the fact that he only wants me for one thing. And that one thing I simply can't give. Because I want it to be for the one I actually have feelings for. Life was made for more than that. It was made for the children of the future to make it brighter than it ever was in the past. It was the end of the year 2024. I had survived two attacks from Riley. And one attack of coyotes. Oddly you may be wondering 'why coy dogs'? That I am not so sure. I was saved two years ago by, of course, the guy I mentioned. Apparently I learned that my father sent him to save the day. To be my prince in shining armor. When in the end. I was refusing to be his mate. I hated the fact that I couldn't choose who I liked or who I saw as a friend, all because of the alpha.

Riley's father was much worse at anger than his son. Thinking to stop my run and hold myself in place for someone to catch up. There were many he-wolves and she-wolfs coming up the side of the mountain to reach me. All of them had been from the pack I was supposed to be the Luna of. Hint, I didn't want to become a Luna. I wanted freedom and a better place to call home. I wanted out. I hated everything that involved being treated like this.

The further and further I go up, the colder it gets. I turned into my she-wolf and was about to go into a different territory. It happened to be the outskirts between our pack and another unknown territory. They told me to stop. And when I refused. I ran into another.

The only thing I could see. Were his eyes. Glowing deep blue in the night.
