The Runaway Mate

Chapter 10

Turns out, the little girls name was Ariel. When I went to carry her downstairs I saw a woman sitting on the couch freaking out.

I slowly walked over towards the woman with a sleeping Ariel in my arms. As I was walking over there I heard the woman say,

"I don't know what I'm gonna do. I can't find my baby girl! For all I know she could have been kidnapped by a rogue! My poor Ariel!" The woman said. She was clearly freaking out out and I'm pretty sure that her 'baby girl' is the little one in my arms.

I didn't want to wake Ariel so I slowly walked closer to the woman who was crying in a mans arms.

"Hello? Ma'am? I couldn't help but over hear you crying and talking about your little girl. But I found her in a corner crying and I was concerned so I went to check on her." I said and the woman rose up with red puffy eyes.

"Ariel? Oh my!" She said snatching the little girl out of my hands. She must be unaware that Ariel was asleep.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know that-" I was cut off by the woman turning to face me and saying,

"YOU! You did this! You took my little girl without me knowing and left me here worrying about where she was!" She said. To say that the woman was mad would be an understatement.

"I'm sorry, it's just, I saw her crying in a corner and-" I was cut off again. This was really getting on my nerves.

"Forget it! Just let us be! You've already done enough damage!" She yelled at me.

I know I shouldn't be mad at her, but she has no right to yell at me like that. I didn't want to cause a scene so I just nodded my head and turned around and left.

She shouldn't be mad at me. I was there to take care of her daughter when she wasn't. She wasn't there to comfort her baby girl when she was upset and crying. I was. I'm no mother, but I know that as a mom your supposed to be there for your kids.

I walked outside to get some fresh air. I needed to get out of that house for a little bit.

I walked around back and found a trail. I followed the trail with my eyes and saw that it lead into the forest.

I don't think Rhett would want me going in the forest without somebody with me. I could get kidnapped.

Wait, I'm a werewolf. A Luna to be exact. I can fight off whatever comes my way. I'm strong and fast. If I have to, I can just run back to the pack house to get some help.

Yea, I'll be fine.

With a nod of assurance, I step foot on the trail and follow it into to forest. It's nothing special. Just a place full of trees and small creatures. Just like any other forest would be.

I walk for another five minutes and that's when I hear something. I heard a twig break. My heart started to pound and my eyes darted to the place where I heard the noise come from.

I smelled the air but I couldn't smell anything. All I could smell was the trees and the dirt.

I got into a fighting stance, ready for whatever was about to come out. That's when I saw it.

The most horrifying thing I had ever seen in my life.

It was ugly.

It had a big rainbow costume on with a huge, fluffy, multicolored wig on.

It's face was painted and it had a red nose.

It was a fucking clown!

I didn't know what else to do so I screamed. I screamed like my life depended on it. Which in my case, it did.

I grabbed the closest thing to me which was a stick. What else do you expect, I'm in the woods with nothing to protect me. Yea, I know, I'm a wolf but when it comes to this type of stuff I don't know what to do. It's like my body loses control and my brain can't function right.

I looked up and the clown was coming closer to me. I threw the stick at it and ran. I ran back to the house. To safety.

I needed to find Rhett. He could help me. He could protect me!

I was so close to the edge of the forest when something grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

I fell, along with the thing that had grabbed me. I screamed again hoping somebody would hear my calls of help but nobody came.

The clown laughed and I froze. I knew that laugh.

I got up off the ground with my heart still pounding and my breathing heavy.

I bent down with shaky hands and pulled the wig and the red nose off the the person. What I saw made my blood boil.

I was gonna kill him when I got home!!
