Alpha's Human Mate

On The Run

           

I stumble back from the window in shock. Wolves. The man I have allowed myself to love is a wolf. My heart is pounding and my mind is racing. I don't know what to do. I love him, but, he is a wolf. They, people like him killed Heath. I am just as confused and torn now as I was when I killed the man. I flinch when I re think that memory. I did the only thing I think I can do at this moment. The same thing I did on that night. I need to run.

Nona comes around the corner just as I begin to make my way to the stairs. Nona frowns, "Are you going upstairs Dani?" I nod. "Tired?" She questions. I nod once again. "Ok Hun you go lay down I will be up with some hot milk later." Forcing a smile I turn away before she can see the tears dripping down my face.

Racing my way up the stairs I throw the door to Cole's office open before digging through the drawers to his desk. Making sure to keep my eyes off of the windows I grab a wad of cash before opening up his laptop and scheduling a taxi to pick me up at the diner. Clearing the history and pocketing the cash I steal one of his sweatshirts before making my way back down the stairs and into the underground parking garage.

Taking a second to calm my racing heart I try to plan out what exactly my plan is. All I know is that from this point forward I am Eli (Allie) Suer. My mother's maiden name, I think.

I don't want to leave the walls of the garage because I know wolves will be waiting for me on the outside. It breaks my heart to have to leave the man I have fallen in love with, but I cannot let wolves kill me just like they did Heath.

Opening up the door to Loretta's small car I pull the keys out of the center console before taking a deep breath. You can do this Dani, the diner is right down the street. You have nothing to worry about, this shouldn't be too hard.

Turning the key in the ignition it takes everything in me not to cringe when the car roars to life. Slowly inching my way out of the garage I reach the surface where I floor it when I see wolves and humans fighting all around me.

Making it to diner with minimal damage to the vehicle I leave the keys in the car and jump into the back of the taxi swearing up and down the wall that I will never drive again.

The driver is a middle aged man that doesn't seem to mind the fact that I don't talk as long as he is getting paid. I handed him a slip when I first got in that said airport, and we have been on our way ever since.

The lady at the front desk must have thought I was crazy. A teenager with nothing but the clothes on her back and a male's sweatshirt. Nonetheless, she let me book the first plane ticket to France. What am I going to do there? I have no idea. All I know is Cole has too many connections. If I were to stay in America, he would surely find me. I can't let that happen, I need to start over. Forget my past, my Father, Cole, and Nona. Everything, needs to be forgotten, I need a clean slate.

I am awoken by someone gently shaking me. "Miss, the plane has landed." I smile and stand up. Stretching my sore muscles from the long flight. It dawns on me there that I am completely alone. No clothes and no place to call home. Only a fake name and some stolen cash. What am I supposed to do know? Good job Dani, the first decision you have ever made for yourself and it's probably the dumbest thing you could ever do.

I am just going to have to live with it. I brought this fate among myself and I will rise above it. I walk out of the airport feeling somewhat proud of myself. Nobody is holding me back. Not anymore.

I wander through the street aimlessly. Not yet used too this new culture. But I think I easily could be. First things first, I need to find a job.

With that thought in mind I look for places that look like a potential job opportunity. If there is one thing Cole has taught me it is you can do anything if you believe. At first I thought I was the one person who that statement left out, but then I learned. I just needed Cole to believe in me first.

As I was walking the streets of Paris, I couldn't help but feel free for the first time. No one to tell me no, no one to steer me off my path, or talk me out of things. Eli Suer is the confident one. She is going to write her own ticket. I am no longer Ella, the little girl that was loved. I am no longer Daniella, the child who was constantly scared. I am no longer Dani, the one who was starting to feel important and special. I am Eli Suer, and I am going to live my life to the fullest. With no setbacks.

4 Months Later

"Eli!" I turn around when someone calls my name. I smile as I see who it is. Francis, a friend from the local college I'd been attending. I figured Eli would have to be educated in order to survive in this new world. I am aware that Francis has taken a liking to me, but I just can't bring myself to date him. To be honest every time I think about going out with Francis, a little voice in my head shows me memories. Me and Cole. Smiling and laughing on the hill at the park; or me and Cole, entwining our souls and becoming one. Even me and Cole's nightly routine of reading one of the many book's in his possession. Cole, he almost brought my voice back. I don't ever think that is something Francis can do.

"Eli" He says again as he approaches me. "Claudel told me you had roaches in your apartment. I came to help." I smile. How are you going to help? Francis smirks, "I'm going to use my muscles to remove them all." I mentally laugh at how proud he is. Even if you do that they will still come. You only removed the scouts, not the source. Francis chuckles. "Have faith in me Eli." I sigh. I was just planning on moving out. My lease is almost up. Francis frowns, "And move to where." Somewhere else in Paris. "You can crash at my place." I smile and nod, but not before hearing him mutter, "Someday soon you will be living there with me." Should I move in with Francis? Give us a shot? That's what I'm supposed to do right. This is a clean slate. But, every time I think of moving on my mind is plagued with the honey brown eyed man who possesses my heart.

I've said it before and I am realizing it now. No matter where my future takes me I will always be connected to Cole. Our souls belong to each other. Ever since that night, I've been his.

Ok now before you get all mad at me for how this story is going, and trust me you will get mad multiple times in this book. Hear me out. When I write I like to have my readers fall in love with the characters and feel their emotions. That is why I already have the 3 books outlined and there will be heavy emotions in all. This is one of those examples. You guys are currently hating me for having Dani or should I say Eli Move. Don't stop reading! She does get back together with Cole, don't worry.
